Their attacks are all about direct knife strikes, and currently only Song Qi can withstand them.
At first, when Song Qi ordered them to attack him, they all tiptoed around. But later, they realized that whether they went all out or tiptoed around, the final result was the same, so they all put in a lot more effort.
Their knives were all aimed at Song Qi's head. The onlookers held their breath, because if they weren't careful, they could be stabbed in the head.
After Song Qi finished dealing with them, they went out with the group to find materials.
Song Qi remained in the courtyard, accepting challenges from others.
"They seem to have some skills."
"Mm." Fan Yao nodded.
"If her face wasn't exactly the same as Ye Xiruan's before, I would have suspected that she was a completely different person," another boy said. "I wonder what her special abilities are like."
"It probably won't be too bad."
Song Qi glanced at the time and realized it was almost time to leave when a girl stumbled over.
"Ye Xiruan! Something's wrong! Suddenly, suddenly a lot of zombies have appeared."
Before Song Qi could speak, another girl ran in: "Zombies have arrived, lots of them."
“Okay, let’s proceed as we planned.” Song Qi frowned and glanced at Fan Yao. “You can choose one of the four sides yourselves.”
"Chen Xi and the others haven't returned yet."
"It's alright, let's go check the situation first and have Jin Yi prepare." Song Qi was very calm. She went to the outer wall and took a look. Yang Ming had already built a double wall. The zombies outside the wall were densely packed, but they were arranged in a very neat and organized manner, as if they were being controlled by something.
"That zombie! Is it going to breathe fire?!" a girl shouted.
Song Qi watched as he opened his mouth, and a bolt of lightning flashed between his teeth, instantly blowing the other man's head off.
"Chen Xi and the others should be fine out there, right?" Bai Yanxi frowned.
"Trust them." Song Qi glanced at Bai Yanxi.
Everyone in the base sprang into action. Bai Yanxi used vines to trap the zombies in one place, and then built a long bridge between the rooftops. Suitcases were dropped from the fifth floor, hitting the densely packed zombies below.
Everything is proceeding smoothly.
Jin Yi had already set everything up. Song Qi looked at a small metal corner sticking out from under his feet, stepped on it, and instantly lightning flashed outside the four walls, blowing up half of the zombies.
However, although this method works, it will consume most of Song Qi's supernatural abilities at once.
"Holy crap..." The person who came with Fan Yao was speechless when he saw this scene. "Boss, that woman seems to be really better than you."
Fan Yao didn't speak, but raised his hand, and the ice spike in his hand fell from the sky, smashing away half of the remaining zombies on one side.
The girl who had previously asked Song Qi to prove his abilities stood in the crowd, surrounded by busy people, while she looked like a useless bum.
The zombies kept coming.
Song Qi was a little irritated. After resting for ten minutes, he unleashed another powerful attack, then grabbed a knife and went into the arena, harvesting crops as if they were nothing.
Fan Yao also jumped into the horde of zombies.
Bai Yanxi stood to the side, somewhat displeased, silently using vines to assist Song Qi.
She felt that she couldn't slack off during training in the future.
The final zombies fought hand-to-hand, resulting in six deaths and injuries. The two healers managed to save only two of the zombie-injured individuals, pulling them back from the brink of mutation.
Everyone knew that it was already good that only four people died in this situation, but grief still quickly spread throughout the entire base.
Those who went out didn't return until evening. Of the seven groups that went out, four were attacked by a large number of zombies. A total of twenty-seven people died today.
That evening, Song Qi held a group meeting; it had been a long time since she had held one.
"Everyone did a great job today. Casualties are normal. I'm also very upset because the people who went out today... were the first batch of students I personally taught."
"The apocalypse is such a cruel thing. To survive in this environment, we need strong personal abilities and a heart that can regulate emotions."
Bai Yanxi looked at Song Qi. Although she had some guesses about Song Qi's profession, she didn't know exactly what she did. Looking at Song Qi now, she felt that the other person's pain was deeper than anyone else's.
"Our lives must go on. We've already worked so hard, how can we stop?"
"The number of zombies with superpowers is increasing, but we currently have thirty-seven superpowered individuals, so there's no need to worry. We'll find ways to strengthen our defenses later."
“Other tasks will also be adjusted. During this period, Fan Yao and I will take turns leading teams to find supplies.”
"Tomorrow morning, twenty-seven superhumans with offensive abilities will follow Fan Yao to wipe out all the zombies in the cafeteria and expand the base. In the afternoon, I will take people to the chemistry lab to bring back experimental materials. Please ask the chemistry students to start trying to prepare simple explosives."
The people below exchanged glances.
"If I have enough time, I'll bring some guns back with me, and also loot the chemistry labs in the surrounding schools."
"The hands-on team has already built a human-powered generator, which is for everyone to exercise. They are also trying to make other things. The generator will be brought out later, and people will take turns going up to step on it for an hour according to the list."
Song Qi talked about some other things, and finally kept the squad leader behind.
They hold their meetings in a study room, which has now become their regular meeting place.
"What happened today gives me a feeling that this disaster may not be a natural disaster, but a man-made one."
"I've been having people listen to the radio all this time, and while we're out searching for supplies, we're also keeping an eye out for news, but so much time has passed and we haven't received any updates."
"I don't know what this means, but the situation is definitely not good."
"In the worst-case scenario, we may not receive help from the government and will have to rely on ourselves."
The group exchanged glances.
"If we're expanding the base this time, how much will it be expanded?" Fan Yao asked.
"Half a school, ideally we could take over a whole school. Three lines of defense. We'll be at the very back, with four metal-element students responsible for the first outer wall, and then the underground metal will extend. If possible, the metal should cover the entire underground area. If not, like today, another student who can generate electricity..." Song Qi drew a diagram on the blackboard.
The person whose name was called looked up at Fan Yao beside him, then looked up at Song Qi.
"His name is Sun Yu, right?"
Sun Yu nodded and swallowed hard. Although Ye Xiruan looked small, why did she make him feel so scared?
"You saw what I did today, didn't you?"
"Mm." Sun Yu nodded.
"Starting today, you'll charge all the power banks I have over there. You'll also go out to find supplies every day and record the number of zombies you kill each day for me. If I'm not around, I hope you can do what I did today."
Sun Yu swallowed hard. What do you mean by "like you"? Is what you're doing even human?
He didn't really want to nod, but Song Qi kept staring at him.
"The inner two floors still use earth and wood elements in combination. The innermost wall is higher, so there needs to be a ladder to climb up."
Everyone nodded.
The meeting lasted until 8 p.m., after which the lights in the room were turned on, all powered by Song Qi.
Fan Yao looked up and glanced at it several times.
When Song Qi returned home that evening, he collapsed onto the bed as soon as he entered the door. He was completely exhausted from the day and had been forcing himself not to say anything while he was outside.
Bai Yanxi sat on the edge of the bed and poked Song Qi's face: "Why do you like to force yourself to be strong?"
“That’s very interesting.” Song Qi looked at Bai Yanxi. “Don’t you think so?”
Bai Yanxi smirked: "Isn't it just that you can't stay idle?"
“Fan Yao has dual abilities.” Song Qi narrowed his eyes. “Why do I only have one ability?”
"Probably because you can take on everyone with just one superpower." Bai Yanxi pinched Song Qi's cheek again.
Song Qi looked at her expressionlessly, got out of bed, pried Bai Yanxi's hand off, and proceeded to ravage her face.
Then, when she wasn't paying attention, he ran away to change his clothes and get ready for bed.
There was one more thing she didn't mention: she'd been having frequent headaches lately, the pain coming from inside her head, and she couldn't tell where it was. Also, when the pain started, she couldn't connect with her system.
Song Qi didn't quite understand this situation.
She rubbed her head, feeling that this might be some kind of opportunity, so she hadn't told the system yet.
I wonder if that idiot has noticed.
Song Qi yawned and closed his eyes.
That night, she had a very strange dream.
In her dream, she was standing in a horde of zombies. The zombies didn't touch her, and she didn't fight them.
Then she saw what she had said, and the zombies around her suddenly began to wail and kill each other.
Then, Song Qi saw Bai Yanxi.
Bai Yanxi squatted on the ground, clutching his head, looking extremely pained.
She looked at me and said something.
Song Qi tried hard to hear clearly, but couldn't hear anything.
She woke up.
Song Qi found himself covered in sweat and felt a chill. He glanced at the time; it was already 5:30.
She glanced at Bai Yanxi, didn't bother her, tidied herself up, and went out to get breakfast.
Fan Yao and the others were already there. The superhumans gathered at seven in the morning to go and kill the zombies. When they saw Song Qi, they all greeted her.
Yesterday, some of them wondered why Song Qi didn't come with them, but now, noticing Song Qi's expression, they all understood.
Song Qi's face was frighteningly pale, without a trace of blood.
"Are you alright?" Fan Yao looked Song Qi up and down.
"I'm fine." Song Qi rubbed his temples. "You guys be careful."
"Yes, don't worry."
The cafeteria wasn't far from them; they could hear the sounds coming from inside and see the firelight on the second floor.
Song Qi was also staring in that direction. Her mind was a bit confused, as if she were connected to something in the dark. She closed her eyes and saw Fan Yao standing in front of her, throwing a punch at her.
She instinctively took a step back and opened her eyes.
Song Qi rubbed her eyes, realizing something.
She seems to have gained another special ability, and this ability is related to zombies.
Song Qi closed her eyes again and observed the entire battle situation through the zombie's eyes. Thinking of her dream last night, she tried to control a zombie.
