232 The Tenth Store
◎Business level of twenty gold bars!◎
Li Zui's team has 21 members. When they returned from Gaosheng City, there were three large trucks and three vans.
The trucks were full of heavy machinery and materials, and the speed was relatively slow. One of them fell behind the van.
The back compartments of the three vans were full of food, and people sat in the front seats.
Before setting off, Lu Yao's team was divided into two teams.
Lu Mingxiao took Kang Kang to sit in the first small van in the front row to observe the road conditions.
Lu Yao felt that the large trucks were higher, the field of vision was better, and they could see farther, so he and Xiong Anan sat in the first large truck behind the small van.
Li Zui, Lu Mingxiao and Kang Kang were sitting in the front row of the van. When the driver reported that the road conditions were not right, he immediately picked up the handheld mining torch and shone it out of the window. Seeing the dense zombies pouring in like a tide, his scalp went numb and he murmured, "Why are there so many?"
They had walked this road back and forth no less than three times and had never encountered such a large zombie tide.
Originally, spending a lot of money to hire errand runners was a bit like spending money to buy peace of mind.
This batch of machinery and equipment is very important to the development of the base, and Li Zui is afraid of mishaps.
Besides, gold is not a rare item for them. Apart from using it to buy errand services, they basically don't need it on weekdays. It can't be eaten or worn. Even if he took out a box in exchange for a guarantee to return to the base, he didn't feel bad.
But -
the scale of the zombie tide this time was unusual. The strong light shone over until the end of the beam. The radius was at least forty or fifty meters. The zombies were densely packed and neatly attacked in their direction.
At the end of the convoy, Chu Li rolled down the window and leaned out.
Zombies also appeared on the road behind, staggering and making hoarse and unpleasant roars. There were
not just one or two, they were like a herd of buffaloes in the wilderness, constantly emerging from under the shadows of trees, behind abandoned road signs, and in dry ditches, gathering more and more.
The way in and out was severely blocked, and Li Zui and the team members in the car were all heartbroken.
Even if they had errand runners, they would probably be doomed today.
It's not that they look down on the runners, but the current situation is too desperate.
There are only two adults among the four runners, and the remaining two children are running errands for the first time. Even if the store owner and the white-haired boy are very capable, they may not be able to do anything in the face of such a huge zombie tide.
The zombie tide has surrounded the convoy, and soon, they won't even be able to get out of the car.
And getting off the car in a hurry at this time is nothing more than actively sending themselves into the zombie herd.
They have no way out.
The members of Li Zui's team all thought of a convoy they saw in Gaosheng City a few days ago.
After those vans were surrounded by the zombie herd, it took less than half an hour for the people in the cars to be eaten up by the ferocious zombies like cattle and sheep.
The screams of that day seemed to be right next to my ears, and the smell of blood also drifted from an unknown place.
They must have been so desperate at that time!!!
On the truck, Lu Yao began to communicate with the Dream Fulfillment System: "This place is out of the coverage of the Wish Network, I'll leave the contact to you."
Tong was actually arrogant at this time: "Even if there is no Wish Network, you can do this, right?"
Lu Yao: "I have to fight and can't be distracted. I can only feel at ease if you help me."
The Dream Fulfillment System was silent for a few seconds, and reluctantly said: "Okay then."
Lu Yao's team wore the store's unified communicator and got out of the monitoring of the errand system. At this time, they relied on the system's ability to communicate.
Among the team members, Lu Mingxiao is probably the only one who can notice the difference. An An and Kang Kang will just treat them as props and still operate normally.
The communicator automatically tuned into the multi-person channel. Lu Yao held his ear and spoke: "An An and Kang Kang will distribute the talismans we prepared before to the guests. Kang Kang will be in charge of the van, and An An will be in the back, responsible for the three large trucks. The situation tonight is special, so I allow you to use magic. However, An An and Kang Kang's main task is to protect the guests and goods. Don't leave the team too far."
Xiong An An was sitting next to Lu Yao, and reached out to hold the corner of Lu Yao's sleeve. : "Then where are you going?"
Lu Yao met the little bear's dark eyes and said as a matter of course: "Lu Mingxiao and I are going to clean up the zombies outside."
The driver next to him heard it and was shocked: "Are you ready to get off the car?"
Lu Yao saw that the driver's legs were shaking and even his voice was trembling, so he comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's a small scene. We will protect you."
The driver turned his head helplessly and looked at the vast night. His hands and feet went limp and he had no strength at all.
He was driving the first large truck in the line. His vision in front was unobstructed. When he turned on the high beam, he could clearly see the zombies that were staggering but constantly approaching.
Despair was like endless weeds, drowning him little by little.
Is this a small scene?
The zombies were gathering faster and faster. Lu Yao didn't hesitate any longer. She pushed open the car door and jumped out first. The red string tied to the knife handle stretched out silently and wrapped around her right wrist.
In the car, Xiong Anan took out a stack of medium-quality talismans from the pocket of her sweater on her belly, counted out three and handed them to the driver: "These two are powerful evil-repelling talismans developed by Lu Yao. Stick them on the inside of the car doors on both sides, and those soulless puppets won't come over. This golden one is a diamond talisman. Just in case, you hold it in your hand. If the evil-repelling talisman fails to drive them away, stick it on yourself."
Xiong Anan stuffed the talisman into the driver's hand, turned around, took out a cross-blade from under the seat, pushed open the car door and jumped out.
The driver held a few pieces of thin paper in his hand, looking stunned.
What is this?
Asking him to take a few pieces of torn paper and leave it to fate?
The driver climbed out of the driver's seat with difficulty, half-knelt on the passenger seat cushion, and half of his head stuck out of the window.
In the moonlight, he saw the child running towards the car behind with a long knife that was almost as big as him, and suddenly remembered the instructions of the store owner in the car just now.
Could it be that this yellow paper is really useful?
The errand boy has not given up, are they still trying to find a way to save them?
The driver sat in his seat weakly, raised the talisman in his hand to distinguish for a few seconds, pulled out two pieces that looked similar, and pasted one on the left door, turned back to the driver's seat, and pasted another one on the right door.
In the van in front, Lu Mingxiao had already gotten out.
Kang Kang was still in the car. He also took out a stack of talismans from his sweater pocket and handed them to the driver, Li Zui and another team member in the car one by one: "The evil-repelling talisman can be pasted on the car body to drive away those puppets, and the diamond talisman is used to save lives. You don't have to worry too much. An An and I will guard around the convoy, and Lu Yao and that person will go to deal with the puppets in the distance."
Li Zui looked down at the yellow paper in his hand and pulled up the corners of his mouth stiffly.
The errand runners are already helpless, but they were given such self-deceiving things.
But he was still a little relieved that these errand runners were really emotionally stable.
No matter old or young, they didn't cry or get scared in the face of this situation, and it seemed that they didn't even think about running away.
Of course, there was no way to run.
Kang Kang felt that he had explained everything, so he opened the car door and prepared to get out.
Li Zui called him, "Where are you going?"
Kang Kang: "There are two cars behind, and I have to give the talisman to them. You have to be obedient and don't disbelieve us. We are doing a legitimate business, and if we receive an order, we will protect you and bring you back unharmed."
After Kang Kang closed the car door, a black jade flute appeared in his hand.
He turned the flute with one hand and trotted towards the van behind.
Li Zui was in a daze holding the talisman, unable to believe that he had just been comforted by a little kid.
He turned his head stiffly: "He just told me to be obedient..."
The team members nodded: "...I heard it."
The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly, his legs shaking: "Captain, it's coming! What should we do?"
Li Zui came back to his senses and hurriedly raised the yellow talisman in his hand: "Never mind, stick it on! Stick it on!"
Li Zui and others pasted the talisman on the inside of the car door, holding the only remaining Vajra Talisman tightly in their hands, staring blankly out of the car window.
Like a lamb to be slaughtered, there is no other way except to be slaughtered.
The moon is round and big, and it is bright even without lights around.
Li Zui's car is in the front again, watching the zombies pouring in like a tide.
At this time, a figure appeared in front of the car.
The silver-haired young man was tall and thin, holding a long sword in his hand.
Under the moonlight, the blade shone coldly.
There were thousands of troops on the opposite side. Even though the young man had an outstanding temperament and Li Zui knew that he was very skilled, his heart was still pounding and he couldn't feel at ease at all.
The zombie tide was only two meters away from Lu Mingxiao. He raised his long sword and swept it out.
In an instant, it seemed that a silver sword energy flew out from the sword blade, and the zombies that came over rolled on their heads and fell forward with their legs bent.
The zombies behind were unconscious and didn't know how to avoid it. They stepped on the rotten corpses and rushed forward, and were tripped.
Lu Mingxiao took a step forward and pressed the rotten corpse lying in the front with the tip of his sword. Black and gray spots appeared at the cut of the rotten red flesh and spread rapidly.
In just a few tens of seconds, the fresh rotten corpse carbonized and dispersed when the wind blew, and a fine black mist spread.
All the zombies that were contaminated by the black mist gradually carbonized their limbs and dispersed in the wind.
Li Zui and his companions didn't know what the errand boy did, they only saw the rotten corpses falling down in rows.
At the back of the convoy, Lu Yao was not far from the truck where Chu Li was.
She controlled seven magic weapons in her right hand and held the Nine Treasures Magic Wand in her left hand, and was drawing a battle formation in the air.
The range of the zombie tide was too large, and it was too time-consuming and laborious to chop them with magic weapons. Lu
Yao prepared to draw an advanced dark magic circle to solve the problem once and for all.
Not far behind her, Xiong Anan swung his broadsword and slashed wildly at the zombies that tried to get close to the convoy.
This guy is a giant panda with thick skin and great strength.
Even though he is still young, the strong body inherited from his bloodline has already shown its advantages.
Also because his cultivation is still shallow and he is not proficient in magic, he usually relies more on his physical abilities.
Even a mutated zombie would find it difficult to bite through Xiong Anan's skin.
Chu Li stood up by holding onto the wall of the car, looking back at Lu Yao for a while, and then leaning over to look at Xiong Anan.
Whether it was the weak-looking shop owner or the naughty kid Xiong An'an who made a very bad impression at first sight, they all surprised her.
Suddenly, a flute sounded on the battlefield of the wasteland full of blood and hostility, clear and melodious, soothing the anxious and frightened emotions of the passengers in the car for no reason.
Kang Kang completed the small task of distributing talismans, leaned against the front of the last van, picked up the black jade flute, and played it softly.
Dang Kang in the Floating World Continent is an auspicious beast that brings good luck. Its true body looks rough and wild, as if it is very fierce, but it is actually a thoughtful kid.
Kang Kang has a softer temperament and does not like killing. Fortunately, he met a sound cultivator in an Internet cafe.
The man was also happy to teach Kang Kang and gave him a black jade flute.
Kang Kang's flute sound can soothe people's hearts, and it sounds like another tune to the ears of those who practice.
Xiong Anan was encouraged by the sound of the flute. She suddenly shouted and jumped directly into the group of zombies with her sword in hand, howling and slashing wildly in circles.
Lu Yao's speed of drawing the formation in her hands suddenly increased.
The sound of the flute urged her to go faster and faster.
Lu Yao urged the magic wand and slowly pushed away the magic formation that had been formed.
The complicated structure of the magic formation slowly rose and expanded until it completely covered the zombie tide.
Dark magic focuses on destruction. Once the formation is formed, the range of destruction is extremely terrifying. Lu
Yao did not want to scare the guests, so he spent a lot of time constructing the magic circle, just to keep a low profile.
After the magic circle completely covered the tide of zombies, black magic needles fell like raindrops, accurately hitting the zombies on the ground and hitting their heads directly.
What Li Zui and others saw was that all the zombies seemed to have their brains dug out in an instant and stopped moving abruptly.
They didn't know what was happening outside, and they didn't dare to get out of the car. It was not
until Lu Yao, who had finished the cleanup work, came over that they hurriedly lowered the car window.
Lu Yao put one hand on the car window: "It's basically cleaned up. But we feel that something is not right around here. It is recommended that you don't stay any longer and leave as soon as possible."
Li Zui could no longer control his expression, and even his voice rose uncontrollably: "All cleared?!" Lu Yao
nodded.
Li Zui pointed out the window: "There were only four people, so many, all gone?"
He seemed to have suddenly lost the ability to organize language correctly.
Lu Yao: "No doubt. This is the business level of twenty gold bars!"
Li Zui: "..."
