There weren't many zombies, and Ye Zimo, who was standing at the front, killed them with a few metal spikes.
Three soldiers stepped forward and knocked on both doors. "Hello, is anyone home? We're here to clear out the zombies. If there's no response after three attempts, we'll break down the door."
Because some houses are indeed only inhabited by zombies, and they won't answer your questions.
“There’s someone in the bedroom of the house on the left. The zombie is in the living room. The other two houses only have zombies. Zimo, get three keys out.”
Ye Zimo froze. Uh, he was going to use his metal-based superpower to pick locks?
However, he didn't refuse. He went over and froze the key in the keyhole, then turned and pushed the door open.
This is much better than destroying the door, which would require repairs and be a hassle.
Fang Xiyue had already told all the metal-type ability users that they would help condense the key, even those at the beginner level.
The zombies in the residential buildings are actually the easiest to clear out; it just takes some time to climb the stairs and open the doors.
They went up to kill the zombies, while Fang Xiyue was responsible for using her wind-based abilities to sweep the zombies outside.
After killing all the zombies, they burned the building down and then collected the crystal cores from the next building.
There are five adjacent residential communities in this area, with a total of 800 buildings, covering a very large area.
Having a large number of people is great; on average, it took 30 minutes to build one building, and it only took less than 2 hours to take over these communities.
It wasn't even 9 o'clock yet, and Fang Xiyue's group had cleared 4 buildings and obtained more than 1,000 crystal cores.
Each group can distribute the crystal cores themselves; whichever group kills them gets to keep them, and they don't need to be given to the Ningcheng Military Region.
However, the original soldiers of the Ningcheng Military Region had to hand over the crystal cores they received.
Because they receive a fixed salary, they can exchange the crystal cores they hand over for power-upgrade fluid with Fang Xiyue, and then select some people to upgrade their powers first.
The 1,100 people from Xingcheng received a total of 14,000 crystal cores.
The 20,000 soldiers in Ningcheng received a total of 254,500 crystal cores.
They were all assigned tasks, and a team of 100 people could only clean a maximum of 4 buildings.
They can't just deny the soldiers of Ningcheng Military Region a chance; they need crystal cores too.
The group that finishes first gets to rest.
Once everyone had gathered, Fang Xiyue told them to rest where they were. Since more than 20,000 people couldn't fit in one square, they sat down on the ground between the buildings.
Anyway, the survivors won't come out now.
The rescued survivors are still in their original homes, and someone will come to their homes to verify the property ownership certificate.
Survivors rescued from other locations will be accommodated in these communities.
After resting for half an hour, they began their journey towards the university town.
There are many zombies and few survivors in the university town.
There might have been more survivors before, but the military district is far away.
So no rescue came, and some of the people who had no food did not survive.
According to the system map, there are a total of 232,572 zombies and 12,921 survivors across the six universities.
3,500 people go directly to one university, and then more people go to the last university.
Zombies in residential buildings are easier to kill because they are evenly distributed, but those in university towns are much harder.
Therefore, Fang Xiyue brought five level-two mental ability users directly to the very center of each school.
Each person is responsible for a school, dedicating their energy to caring for everyone.
They will lend a helping hand when someone is in danger.
The soldiers fighting below knew they were being protected, which gave them more confidence and courage to fight.
The university is quite large, so a lot of time is wasted walking around.
It took four hours to kill all 230,000 zombies. After all the zombies were burned, it was exactly 2 p.m.
It's time to eat; I haven't had lunch and I'm really hungry.
Battalion Commander Zhao and Battalion Commander Jiang came directly to find Fang Xiyue.
"Xiyue, can you give us 1,000 boxed meals? I'll transfer the money to you."
They both knew that Fang Xiyue would bring lots and lots of boxed lunches whenever she went out, and that her space would keep them fresh so they wouldn't spoil, so they quickly came over to buy some.
Then Fang Xiyue heard her vessel make a sound, and 30,000 crystal coins were deposited into her account.
One thousand boxed meals appeared on a small open space in front of Fang Xiyue, piled high.
Several observant soldiers quickly came over to move the items and then distributed them.
The 100 people who came with Fang Xiyue also received their own boxed lunches.
Battalion Commander Wang and Battalion Commander Zhang, who were sitting not far away, were not having it. They said, "It smells so good, how can we only smell it and not eat it?"
The soldiers in Ningcheng were practically dying to see this!
It's not that they lack willpower, it's just that they haven't eaten rice or stir-fried dishes for over a month, who can stand that?
They first found Battalion Commander Zhao and Battalion Commander Jiang, and when they saw the food in their lunch boxes, they couldn't help but swallow.
"Why are you two eating alone? Where did this come from? Give us both a portion."
If Battalion Commander Wang hadn't had the willpower, he would have snatched it and eaten it.
“I bought them from Xiyue. They cost 30 crystal coins each, and you don’t have any. There are so many of you, I can’t afford to treat you all, but it’s not impossible to treat just the two of you.”
Battalion Commander Zhao really can't afford it. 20,000 men, 600,000 crystal coins, even selling him wouldn't be enough.
"Can't I buy it with crystal cores?"
Battalion Commander Wang remembered that Xiyue had mentioned collecting crystal cores before, with each level-one crystal core worth 50 crystal coins.
They currently have over 475,000 crystal cores, which can be exchanged for 23.75 million crystal coins.
