Chapter 92 requires drones
They rushed as fast as they could and quickly arrived in H City.
Qin Zhuo stood in front of everyone and cleared his throat. "Everyone has had a hard time traveling recently. The journey has been bumpy, and you must all be very tired. Let's find a place to rest and recharge."
"Then everyone can split into groups to search for supplies in the vicinity. For safety, each group should consist of at least three people. Be sure to return to your resting place before dark and do not be greedy for supplies and waste time."
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes."
Finally, after searching for a while, the group chose a hotel that looked relatively intact as their place to rest for the day.
The hotel's doors were half-closed, and an old, worn-out atmosphere permeated the air. But in this apocalyptic world, having such a shelter from the wind and rain was already quite a blessing.
After finding a place to rest, everyone else went out to search for supplies with great enthusiasm.
However, Yu Xiang and her group did not go out. Since they were not particularly short of supplies, they did not need to go looking for supplies frequently.
Moreover, we are no longer in the early stages of the apocalypse, and the supplies we can find are becoming increasingly scarce.
Yu Xiang hugged Mimi and collapsed onto the hotel sofa.
Feels so good~
Qin Zhuo sat to the side, quietly looking at the map in his hand.
There was a spot on the map circled in red that caught my eye; that was the location of Dr. S, as the lord had told me.
Qin Zhuo frowned slightly, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
"This is the busiest commercial street in H City. Dr. S is trapped in a secret underground laboratory beneath the commercial street. If we go there, we will encounter more zombies than we will encounter. It will definitely be a fierce battle."
Qiao Yue crossed her arms, her brows furrowed, and looked puzzled. "Why did Dr. S set up his lab in a commercial street? Aren't labs usually located in secluded and secret places? Wouldn't that be safer?"
Chen Yunfei: "Haven't you heard the old saying? 'A minor hermit lives in the wilderness, a major hermit lives in the city.'"
Qiao Yue pursed her lips. "I don't think that's the reason. Besides, this old saying doesn't fit here. 'Great seclusion' here refers to a state of mind, a realm that transcends worldly affairs. It seems your grades aren't very good."
Chen Yunfei scratched his head awkwardly, his face slightly flushed, "My grades aren't very good."
Qiao Yan glanced at them. "Alright, the fact that the lab is located under the commercial street is not the point of our discussion. You've gone off-topic."
Chen Yunfei nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, the most important thing is how to rescue Dr. S, that's the top priority."
Qin Zhu put away the map. "The best way is to lure most of the zombies away from the commercial street. This is a difficult and dangerous task."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang seemed to have thought of something and excitedly jumped up and down, "I can do it!"
She could lure those of her kind away by saying there are plenty of humans out there who can feed them, and they would surely follow her.
Qin Zhuo turned his head slightly and looked at Youxiang.
With his keen intuition, he guessed that Xiaoyouzi might be trying to use her special zombie identity to lure away the zombies.
He glanced at Qiao Yue, who was standing next to him with her head down, without making a sound.
She seemed lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice what Yuka said.
Qin Zhuo reached out and gently pulled Youxiang down, making sure she was seated comfortably.
Then, he placed his large palm on her slightly cool hand, gave it a soothing squeeze, and gestured with his eyes for her to keep quiet.
“We still need to discuss the specific methods to lure the zombies away,” he quickly took over, trying to cover up Yuka’s unfinished suggestion. “If there is no foolproof plan, forcing our way in should be the last resort.”
At first, Youxiang didn't understand why Qin Zhuo wouldn't let her speak, but when she glanced at Qiao Yue by chance, her confused little brain actually understood.
Yueyue and the rest of the rescue team were unaware of her zombie identity. If she did this, it would be easy for her to be exposed, and even if she wasn't exposed, they couldn't find a suitable reason to explain why the zombie was led away by her.
Qiao Yan nodded slightly, "We should think about it carefully. It's best not to force our way in unless absolutely necessary."
Qiao Yue looked up and slammed her hand on the table. "The only way to lure away zombies is by using sound and flesh. I have an idea. We can plant bombs on the edge of the commercial street. The loud noise from the explosions will definitely lure away the zombies inside the commercial street."
It turned out that she had been thinking of a solution while her head was down.
Qiao Yan frowned slightly and calmly analyzed, "We don't have that many bombs, and the sound of a bomb exploding is only for a moment. The zombies haven't been lured far away before the sound stops. They might come back then. This method is not feasible."
Qiao Yan rejected Qiao Yue's method.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yue quickly came up with another good idea: "We can use a string of firecrackers instead of bombs. Firecrackers are quite loud, and they can also lure the zombies away."
Qiao Yan gently shook her head. "It's possible, but if you put the firecrackers there, just on the edge of the commercial street, it won't lure away most of the zombies. It might only attract a small portion, which still won't achieve our goal."
She considered every detail very carefully to ensure the feasibility of the plan.
Qiao Yue slumped listlessly onto the table, like a deflated balloon, muttering, "What should we do? Isn't there a better way?"
She finally came up with a solution, thinking she was very clever, but it turned out to be completely useless.
"Why--"
She let out a long sigh.
Qin Zhuo stroked his chin, his eyes deep.
Then, he slowly said, "We can use a loudspeaker and make the sound move around the commercial street. That way, we can lure most of the zombies away."
Chen Yunfei's eyes widened in surprise. "Brother Qin, are you suggesting someone take the speaker? How did that person manage to escape so many zombies chasing him? Isn't that putting himself in danger?"
Qin Zhuo smiled slightly, "No, we can use high-tech drones. Little Youzi, quickly check if you have any drones in your space."
Yuka shook her head immediately, "No."
She had just tidied up her game storage a couple of days ago and didn't see any drones.
As the territory of the farming game expanded, she built more and more warehouses, which were arranged densely.
The more things you store, the more problems arise.
She often couldn't remember which warehouse she had put something in.
Later, she learned to categorize and store things, but sometimes things were brought into the warehouse too quickly, and things were often put in the wrong warehouse, so she would tidy up every once in a while.
