Chapter 292 Ono, fully equipped with "Youyou" brand gear
Lu Nange, leading the fully armed Lu Beiye, was the last to step out of the RV.
The little one wore a brand-new temperature-controlled hat, and his gloved little hands tightly gripped his older sister's fingers.
After everyone got off the vehicle, Lu Nange turned around and waved her hand, and the huge RV was instantly stored in her space.
With a light wave of his hand, Chi Yanzhou caused the thick ice wall to begin to undulate. After a moment, a narrow passage, just wide enough for one person to pass through, opened up in the ice wall. The inner wall of the passage was as smooth as a mirror.
The group cleared out zombies along the way, slowly advancing towards the exit of Ji City.
Along the way, they encountered groups of low-level zombies, the strongest of which was only level three.
In the past, in order to get somewhere faster, they might have chosen to take a detour.
But now, everyone has become a severe sufferer of "crystal core hunger syndrome," adhering to the post-apocalyptic survival rule of "since we're already here," and stubbornly annihilating every zombie horde they encounter.
In one morning, they wiped out three waves of zombies.
But with this stop-and-go pace, it took half a day to barely cover ten streets.
After having a quick bite to eat in the RV at noon, the group continued their journey.
In the city shrouded in polar night, day and night are indistinguishable, and the only way forward is to be illuminated by the eerie blue light reflected from the ice sculptures.
"It's already five o'clock in the afternoon, and we haven't even left Ji City yet," He Zhuo said, kicking the broken ice at his feet.
Gu Qi glanced at him: "Can walking compare to driving?"
"Collecting crystal cores while traveling will naturally take time, so why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Wan glanced at He Zhuo and added.
He Zhuo: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just that these days without seeing the light of day are getting a bit irritating..."
Shi Xu, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly stopped. Chi Yanzhou immediately became alert: "What's wrong?"
Shi Xu didn't answer, but instead ran forward quickly for more than ten meters, pointing to his right: "That looks like a zombie abode!"
The group quickly followed, looking in the direction Shi Xu had pointed...
A single word flashed through the minds of the group—abrupt!
Three hundred meters ahead of them, a dilapidated low building stood alone, surrounded by towering ice sculptures.
The chilling air that could freeze the entire city bypassed this building, leaving it as it was before the extreme cold.
Lu Nange's spiritual power spread forward like a tide.
The space was crammed with zombies, their rotting bodies jostling each other in a terrifying sheer number.
Shi Xu: "It's a large supply warehouse with plenty of supplies, but the number of zombies inside... far exceeds the scale we've encountered before. It's like all the survivors who came looking for supplies have been left here."
Gu Qi raised an eyebrow: "Old Shi, are you implying we can't beat them?"
"Yes." Shi Xu nodded, his voice grave. "There are two more level five beings inside, one on the east side and one on the west."
Chi Yanzhou frowned slightly: "What about the numbers for levels three and four?"
Lu Nange slowly opened her eyes: "Seven level four, and thousands below level three."
Gu Wan counted on her fingers: "Two level 5, seven level 4... Nan Nan, tell me, how many are below level 3?"
"Thousands of them," Wen Qing repeated.
Lu Xici: "There are twelve of us, plus Zhizhi, and over a thousand, including high-level zombies. This ratio..."
He Zhuo swallowed hard: "This proportion, this setup... it seems like we really can't handle it..."
Lu Nange: "It's not that it's completely impossible to chew..."
Everyone turned their heads in unison, and more than a dozen eyes focused on her at the same time.
She said slowly and deliberately, "We can blow them up..."
He Zhuo's eyes widened: "It...it blew up? Are you serious, little sister?"
Lu Nange nodded: "Of course, we can't take it any more seriously."
Gu Qi frowned: "Nan Nan, isn't this a bit too much of a commotion?"
Chi Yanzhou seemed to be deep in thought: "Does Nan Nan want us to surround this place, encircle it, and blow it up?"
"That's right." Lu Nange nodded and said, "First, use earthen shields as the base, then reinforce with gold shields to create a sealed 'pressure cooker.' When I break open the warehouse door and the zombies swarm out..."
She made a throwing motion: "We'll throw bombs in, and at the same time, my brother and Sister Wanwan will throw a few flint and steel, fireballs... then immediately seal the top, and Brother Yan will be responsible for preventing the ice sculptures around the perimeter from collapsing due to the explosions..."
Everyone's eyes lit up—this was practically the perfect zombie stew pot!
He Zhuo rubbed his hands excitedly: "Brilliant! Let them explode in the pot!"
Shi Xu: "A confined space can indeed amplify the effect of an explosion, and when the flames are smoldering..."
Gu Qi still had some concerns: "What if most of the zombies get trapped inside and don't come out?"
Lu Nange waved the Bluetooth speaker in her hand: "Don't forget we have this—it will most likely make them all come out. Even if some stubborn ones refuse to move, the vines can 'invite' them out one by one. As for the rest that slipped through the net, we can deal with them slowly."
Chi Yanzhou: "Is there a lot of supplies inside?"
Lu Nange and Shi Xu nodded at the same time.
"Let's try it according to plan first." Lu Nange tapped her finger lightly: "If all else fails... we'll just have to blow them all up."
Everyone nodded...
After Lu Nange finished making her arrangements, the team took a few more steps forward.
He Zhuo and Ji Xian made the first move—the two constructed a ring of earthen shields in the area in front of the warehouse, leaving only the main gate as an "exit to lure the enemy."
After breaking through to level four, the two's earthen shields rose from the ground almost instantly, becoming sturdy and thick, requiring no continuous consumption of their special abilities to maintain—this was one of the reasons why Lu Nange felt it was worth the risk.
The earthen shield solidified and took shape, and He Zhuo and Ji Xian stopped at the same time.
Lu Beiye and Luo Xingyou then made their move, their dazzling gold-type abilities coating the outer layer of the earth shield with a metallic luster. The five-meter-high gold shield even shone brightly under the reflection of the ice surface.
To make it easier to throw, Chi Yanzhou had He Zhuo and Ji Xian build an ascending staircase along the edge of the golden shield.
Lu Nange took out several military hand grenades from her spatial storage and distributed them to Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou, and others.
Armed with weapons, the group climbed the steps.
Until they could clearly see the rusty, heavy iron gate of the warehouse from above.
Lu Nange gathered wind energy at her fingertips, turned to look at everyone, and asked, "Are you all ready?"
A unified response came from the side; all team members were in position.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the signal to act...
Lu Nange swung her right hand down suddenly, and a tornado carrying sharp wind blades roared out and crashed heavily into the iron gate.
With a deafening sound of metal tearing apart, the heavy iron gate crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
In an instant, the deathly silence in the warehouse was broken.
The previously still horde of zombies suddenly turned toward the source of the sound, as if a switch had been flipped.
Deep inside, the eyes of two level-five zombies suddenly snapped open, a terrifying, ferocious light emanating from beneath their rotting eyelids...
