Chapter 349 Let's go again.
"Don't just stand there! Come down!" Gu Qi's deep, urgent voice came from below, pulling them back to reality from their shock.
Once everyone had landed safely, they quickly stood in formation against the cold, rough wall, forming a defensive array.
Chi Yanzhou: "Listen, there are probably over a hundred zombies here. He Zhuo and Ji Xian, put away your shields in a moment. Level four earth and metal elemental ability users, get to work immediately and quickly surround this side of the parking lot where we are! Create a temporary buffer zone!"
Lu Beiye, Luo Xingyou, He Zhuo, Ji Xian, and Zhang Ao, another level-four earth-type ability user in the team, immediately stepped forward.
Several people simultaneously raised their hands slightly, their eyes focused!
He Zhuo: "Old Ji, you count to three, two, one, and then we'll put away our shields..."
Ji Xian: "Three, two, one..."
The earthen shields in front of Lu Nange and her group disappeared. The next moment, accompanied by a deep hum and a slight tremor in the ground, thick metal shields and solid earthen walls rose up from the ground layer by layer!
Because the area to be enclosed was large and speed was required, the resulting barrier was not perfect. The metal and earth were interlocked, making it appear somewhat patched up, but it ultimately formed a simple defensive perimeter in a very short time.
However, although this sudden commotion was not huge for humans, it was enough to startle the zombies wandering aimlessly in the dead silence!
"Hehe...hehe..."
In an instant, the hundreds of zombies wandering in the parking lot turned their heads and roared as they swarmed toward the newly erected shield wall!
The dull thuds of impact, scratching, and attacks from supernatural abilities immediately filled the air!
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Lu Nange and her group had a clear view of the entire parking lot...
Abandoned trucks, overturned forklifts, and scattered large containers were parked haphazardly everywhere, blocking most of the passageways.
Packages of all sizes were scattered everywhere, and piles of corrugated cardboard boxes, many of them broken and cracked, revealing a dazzling array of goods inside—daily necessities, unopened small appliances, clothes, and more.
These supplies were mixed in with the dried bloodstains on the ground, which had turned dark brown...
Chi Yanzhou: "Nan Nan, A Ye, Gu Wan, Luo Xingyou... you guys hurry up and collect usable supplies. The rest of you come with me to clear out the zombies! Be careful!"
Lu Nange and the others immediately nodded slightly...
In mid-air, Wen Qingzheng and "Gangzi" skillfully hovered low between the vehicles, searching for any zombies that might hide or crawl out from blind spots, ready to provide support at any time.
Lu Nange, Lu Beiye, Luo Xingyou, and Gu Wan quickly circled the truck to investigate.
First, they cautiously eliminated potential threats—Lu Nange's mental detection and Lu Beiye's silent, swift metal wires shot out, blowing the zombies hiding under the car and in the crevices into their heads one by one...
Only after they had finished dealing with all of this did they begin to examine the truck.
Most of the doors of these large trucks were open, revealing the cardboard boxes inside, which had been rummaged through and were in disarray.
Various goods were torn out, ripped apart, and trampled on, mixed together, clearly indicating that this place had undergone countless rounds of frenzied looting.
Beside the car, shattered cardboard boxes and scattered items—from toys and tools to clothing and food packaging—were everywhere, a scene of utter chaos mixed with the dried, blackened, sticky bloodstains on the ground, silently telling a horrific story...
Lu Nange and the others instantly understood—why this logistics center, situated on high ground and seemingly easy to defend, had not become a refuge but instead attracted such an astonishing number of zombies...
When they first started out without forming groups, the vast majority of the survivors who came with hope and a will to survive... remained here forever.
"It's pouring rain and freezing cold..." Luo Xingyou carefully nudged a half-open box at her feet with her toe, revealing some moldy clothes inside: "These packages have been soaked and frozen repeatedly. I don't even know if the things inside are still usable?"
Gu Wan: "Didn't Brother Yan say that this place is all on the mountaintop, with good drainage, so it shouldn't have been flooded, and there must be a lot of usable stuff here..."
Lu Nan, the singer, gently raised his head, and his spiritual power enveloped the still relatively intact truck.
The truck vanished from its spot in the next second.
"Take them all back and take them apart carefully to see. What you can use is what you get; what you can't... we'll see."
"So... many? Are they all going to be torn down?" Gu Wan's voice didn't contain any complaints, but rather revealed a hint of barely concealed excitement, her eyes brightening slightly.
"This is the apocalypse! I never expected to experience the joy of opening blind boxes like this! Why am I inexplicably a little excited!"
Luo Xingyou: "The surprise of unboxing?"
......
Lu Nange and the others were focused on collecting supplies, while behind them, Chi Yanzhou and the others stood with their backs to them, forming a large battle circle.
They firmly blocked the ever-increasing number of zombies at the perimeter, efficiently annihilating the attacking zombies with lightning, fire, ground spikes, and mental shocks.
By the time Lu Nange had collected all the trucks and stacks of container goods that could be collected in the entire parking lot into her spatial storage, the hundreds of zombies had been almost completely cleared out...
Only Zhang Ao and his ten men remained fighting, while Chi Yanzhou and his group stood not far away, watching them...
He Zhu nudged Gu Qi next to him with his elbow: "Wasn't he supposed to be a level three or four ability user? His performance in actual combat is too... weak, isn't it?"
Look at Zhang Ao, a level four earth-type fighter, fighting five level two zombies, and I feel like he's struggling so much, even seeming to be at a disadvantage.
Gu Qi: "The superpower level is real, but what's lacking is practical experience and combat awareness."
Look at his movements, they're too conservative. He's just instinctively using the earthen shield to defend and dodge, lacking the ruthlessness and skill to launch an active attack.
Subconsciously, he probably still sees himself as a support and protector, and hasn't yet transitioned into a combatant.
He Zhuo grew impatient, seeing a zombie nearly break through Zhang Ao's defenses: "Zhang Ao! Use earth spikes to attack its upper three routes, and seal off its lower three routes! Coordinate the interference, and kill it in one blow! Go! Don't be a coward!"
Gu Qi, standing to the side, rubbed his temples helplessly: "He Zhuo, can you be a little more composed? Your shouting is affecting other people's performance."
He Zhuo: "Composed? This is really...not composed at all! I feel so frustrated watching him! A level four superpower, but he's fighting like he just awakened it!"
Just then, Lu Nange and the other three walked up to Lu Xici's side.
Lu Nange: "We've collected everything that can be collected from the parking lot. Shall we head straight back in a bit?"
Upon hearing this, He Zhuo immediately turned around and said, "Little sister, are we done already? Shall we continue exploring the warehouse area a bit more?"
Lu Nange shook her head, her gaze sweeping over Zhang Ao and the others who were still fighting the zombies: "It's too risky. The people we brought out have to be brought back. We can't escape from here for the time being. In a couple of days, just the few of us, we'll come back again."
