Yuan Chu said, "It's alright, I'll explain in detail to you in the morning. Go to sleep first."
In the pitch-black night, in a hotel 2 kilometers from the stadium, a loud crash startled the two people who were still fast asleep.
At this moment, a woman hurriedly got out of bed and shouted loudly to the girl next to her, "Get up quickly, Sun Tingting!"
Still half-asleep, Sun Tingting asked slowly, "What's wrong, Sister Liu? I'm not awake yet."
Sister Liu said in a trembling voice, "Run! The zombies are coming again!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Tingting immediately got up, picked up the compound bow from the bedside table, and walked to Sister Liu, who was still watching from the window, and asked:
"What's going on these past two days? Why are the zombies attacking at night?" Sister Liu said ambiguously, "I have a feeling that the zombies these past two days are a bit strange."
Since yesterday, the zombies have been acting as if they had a plan; they not only know to keep chasing the survivors from behind, but they also know to block our path from the front.
Sun Tingting responded, "You mean the zombies that appeared in front of us yesterday weren't a coincidence, but rather part of a pre-planned operation?"
Sister Liu said, enunciating each word clearly, "It must be."
Just then, the two heard a hurried knocking on the door: "Knock knock knock! Tingting, Sister Liu, come out quickly."
Tingting looked at Sister Liu and said, "It's Dazhuang." Then she opened the door.
A handsome young man wearing glasses said anxiously, "Tingting, Sister Liu, zombies are rushing in from outside. You should get ready to run away!"
Sister Liu glanced at the messy corridor and said, "Aren't we going to put up a fight?"
The bespectacled youth said, "What's the point of resisting? Most of us aren't even level one ability users, while those who rushed in this time are all level one zombies."
"Xiao Li, you guys hurry up and come down to help! There's no time for idle chatter now," a middle-aged man shouted to the group.
The bespectacled man looked at Tingting and said, "Be careful later." He then took a small plastic bag of steel balls from his backpack and handed it to Tingting, saying, "I've been working on these for the past few days." After saying that, he ran downstairs.
Seeing Xiao Li running downstairs, Sister Liu turned to Sun Tingting and said, "Come on, let's go down and help too." As she spoke, Sister Liu also picked up a long knife and followed closely behind in the direction Xiao Li disappeared.
At the second-floor stairwell, more than a dozen fire doors collapsed under the impact of a group of level-one zombies.
Just as the zombies rushed into the hotel corridor, "whoosh!" a steel ball pierced through the air and headed straight for the head of the leading zombie.
After a muffled thud, the once imposing leader of the zombies had his head explode like a watermelon hit by a bullet.
At the other end of the corridor, Sun Tingting quickly reached into her shoulder bag again, took a steel ball, placed it in the ball mount of her compound bow, and pulled. With a "whoosh!", another steel ball flew towards the zombie.
At the same time, the middle-aged man who had called the others downstairs also picked up a pistol and fired continuously at the charging zombies, "bang bang bang!"
As the bullets ran out, and with a constant stream of zombies replenishing the ranks, the number of zombies quickly approached a dozen.
The middle-aged man shouted, "Quickly, get to the third floor!" The group of more than ten people hurriedly began to move to the third floor.
The middle-aged man looked at Liu Xin, who was still wielding a long knife, and said, "Here, take this. Go to the rooftop and connect the rope to the other building."
Liu Xin took the rope and said, "Be careful!" before rushing towards the rooftop.
Liu Xin stood on the rooftop, looking around. The nearest building was a 15-story residential building.
Liu Xin first secured one end of the rope to the railing of the rooftop, then took the other end of the rope and jumped off the rooftop.
Just as Liu Xin was falling a few meters, a pair of faint wings suddenly appeared on her back. She flapped her wings and quickly flew towards the seven-story building opposite.
With a loud crash, the sound of shattering glass rang out. Liu Xin grabbed the window handle and jumped inside. She first checked the entire room, and after finding no zombies or survivors, she quickly secured the other end of the rope to a sturdy position before swiftly flying back to the hotel rooftop.
Just as Liu Xin was about to return to the third floor to inform them that the rope was in place, she saw Tingting and the bespectacled young man run up quickly. But before they could even speak, a loud explosion rang out from below.
Upon hearing the explosion, Tingting burst into tears and said, "Uncle Qin and the others are all dead. Just now, a zombie that can use fireballs suddenly appeared from among the zombies, and its appearance caused our defenses to collapse in an instant."
The bespectacled young man looked at Tingting, who was still crying, and said, "Alright, Tingting, now is not the time to be sad. If we delay any longer, Uncle Qin and the others will have died in vain."
"Sister Liu, do you still have the strength to fly with Tingting? If so, you should leave now, the zombies might come up soon."
Sister Liu looked at the man with glasses and said, "I'm fine. Why don't you wait for me here? I'll take Tingting there and then come back to pick you up."
The bespectacled man glanced down the stairs and said, "You guys hurry up, I can get across with the rope." With that, he climbed onto the rope and started moving towards the other side.
When the three of them reached the other side, they saw that there were already quite a few zombies on the rooftop.
Inside the stadium, Yuan Chuyi looked at Tang Yan as she slowly walked over and asked, "How are these people?"
Tang Yan said with a smile, "Not bad, one is a water-type ability, one is an earth-type ability, and one is a speed-type ability."
The remaining individuals, while not yet possessing superpowers, had clearly already killed zombies. As for their other ambitions, they didn't have any yet.
Tang Yan glanced at Yuan Chuyi and said, "When does our camp leader plan to set off today to carry out your grand plan to make a fortune?"
Yuan Chuyi chuckled and said, "Don't rush that. Buildings don't have legs and can't run away on their own. But there's something more important to do today, which is to get the wall in place first."
Lin Kang came to see me this morning, asking when I could finish the city wall, otherwise there wouldn't be enough room for everyone to live there.
Tang Yan looked at the crowd around her and said, "I heard that they accommodated more than 200 people yesterday alone. At this rate, the stadium will be full in just a few days."
"Let's go then, let's get moving. By the way, where are Zheng Shuang and Wan'er? I haven't seen them anywhere."
Tang Yan looked around and said, "They probably went to Zhou Yu's place. Also, there are so many people now, you have to queue to go to the restroom in the morning." She then gestured with her lips in a certain direction.
Yuan Chuyi agreed, "Yes, after the city walls are finished, it will take at least a day or two to clear the zombies from the city. Once they are all cleared out, they can be moved outside."
With the return of Zheng Shuang and the other two, the four of them resumed their mission to acquire the properties.
Tang Yan pointed to the gap between the two buildings and asked, "Who can fill this gap?"
After searching the space, Wan'er said, "I have a building that is exactly the same size as the gap." As she spoke, a five-story building filled the gap.
These buildings, which appeared and disappeared intermittently, left the survivors, who were still hiding in the high-rise buildings, dumbfounded.
