"Sister Lu, you're too impulsive! That situation was so dangerous! You should have waited for us to catch up before we acted together."
Zhang Xiaojuan, followed by a string of colorful little clay figures, ran breathlessly to Lu Sheng's side and checked her over to see if she was injured.
Xiao Yu ran to the side to check on Xu Yi, afraid that the two of them might be injured but were just being stubborn and refusing to say anything.
Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and calmly picked up some of the pile of zombie flesh on the ground and threw them into his spatial storage. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
These monsters' self-healing abilities are too abnormal. We should take them back to Teacher Xu for proper research; perhaps they can develop a best-selling drug.
Making money is the only true goal, no matter what.
Money is a person's source of confidence!
"Don't worry my ass! You always do it all by yourself. You really treat us like your little accessories." Sun Tiantian's eyes reddened. She raised her little fist and nudged Lu Sheng's shoulder, then touched it gently. "Don't always think about solving problems by yourself. There are so many of us here, not just here to watch the show. If there's danger, we'll face it together."
“Yeah, Sister Lu, we’re teammates. It can’t always be you pulling the monsters while we cheer from behind.” Han Rui chimed in, a little shyly. “At least let us participate.”
Although their superpowers weren't as strong as Lu Sheng's, as members of the team, none of them wanted to be like a dodder that was forever protected.
Lu Sheng is the soul of this team, but they also want to do something for the team, instead of dumping all the pressure and difficulties on Lu Sheng alone.
Looking at the group's sincere and concerned eyes, Lu Sheng felt a warm current surge in his heart.
Having survived two apocalypses, she knew all too well that danger lurked everywhere in this dilapidated world, and that the slightest carelessness could cost her her life.
So she has always chosen to take the lead in protecting her cherished companions, but only at this moment did she truly realize that she was not fighting alone.
Behind her, there are always companions who will never abandon her and protect her! She is not alone!
After a fierce battle, everyone except Lu Sheng and Xu Yi had basically exhausted their superpowers and had some injuries.
The group had no choice but to rest where they were for the time being, and Zhao Xiaoyan volunteered to treat everyone's wounds.
While waiting for others to treat her, Lu Sheng leaned against the wall, holding the Tang sword, and pretended to doze off, but her mind was still replaying the spiritual power that had just entered her mind.
She could sense that the spiritual force was not malicious, but rather teasing her with a hint of wicked pleasure.
While she was fiercely entangled with the deformed beast, that spiritual force clearly had the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but it remained motionless and secretly observed.
If she wasn't mistaken, this mental power was most likely that of the half-zombie lurking in the Eastern Alliance.
After a short rest, the group set off again.
After searching the remaining areas inside the makeshift hospital one by one, only a few mutated zombies were found.
Zhang Xiaojuan's mud-man squad cleared the way for the rest of the group like mini bulldozers, and the scattered zombies' heads exploded from being punched twice.
After searching most of the Eastern Alliance base, they finally found the trapped group in the base's large breeding farm.
Several thousand people were trapped like livestock in the empty pasture, huddled together in twos and threes in corners.
Excrement and rotting carcasses of cattle and sheep were scattered everywhere on the open ground, while swarms of mutated flies buzzed around.
Countless mutated zombies roamed the outskirts of the ranch, eyeing the group of people who were like lambs to the slaughter with predatory intent.
Every now and then, zombies would throw moldy genetically modified soybean cakes into the enclosure, and the starving trapped people would immediately pounce on them and scramble to grab them.
Some women and children with less talent couldn't compete with the young and strong men, so they could only kneel on the ground and beg for some food.
Dignity and basic principles have vanished in this world. Everyone is like a two-legged sheep being raised by zombies, reduced to numb eating, drinking, and defecating like livestock.
"This scene is so realistic it makes me physically uncomfortable." Han Rui suppressed her nausea and threw out two vines as thick as her wrists to quickly clear away the obstacles in front of her.
These zombies were far inferior to the mutated species in the makeshift hospital in both level and quality. Then, Meng Botang casually threw out a few explosive fruits, which turned the densely packed zombie army into mincemeat.
The flames from the explosion attracted the Eastern Alliance residents hiding in the ranch, and countless eyes stared eagerly at Lu Sheng and his companions, who looked like gods descended to earth.
"Help! Help us!"
"Save me first! I have money! I have tons of crystal cores! I'm the owner of the largest trading company in the Eastern Alliance!"
"Help me! My child is dying!"
The crowd, who had been huddled in the corner, quickly swarmed over and crowded together by the ranch fence.
Su Zheng and Meng Baitang exchanged a glance.
“There are too many people here. If we want to clear the entire eastern base, we need to try to transfer the trapped people out first.” Meng Botang pondered for a moment, then turned to discuss with Lu Sheng, “There are at least tens of thousands of zombies inside. If a real fight breaks out, these people might become a hindrance.”
They have limited manpower. These people with insufficient combat power will not only be of no help if they stay here, but will also become mobile blood bags for the mutated zombies. If they don't have enough manpower, they can come and develop a few downlines.
As former soldiers, neither Meng Botang nor Su Zheng could bear to watch thousands of living people become food for the zombies.
Lu Sheng, holding the Tang sword, stood to the side, shrugging indifferently, "Do as you please."
She has limited energy; managing the agritainment facilities and apartments at her own base is already exhausting enough. These refugees can be taken in whenever they want, and she can't be bothered with them.
