Chapter 63 Departure for the Granary
Lu Ming on the side was also puzzled. Zhou Zixi seemed to be very powerful, had powerful subordinates, and was responsible. Then why didn't his name appear in the original story?
She thought carefully and confirmed that she had never seen him in the main storyline.
strangeness.
Zhou Zixi stared at Gu Chao expressionlessly: "I thought you would understand."
Gu Chao's expression was calm as he leaned back lazily on the sofa. He looked at the face opposite him, which could barely be called a young man, and whose face looked cold enough to deceive a little girl, and sneered for a while.
How naive.
He did understand that whether it was because he felt that if one person died, the other would be in trouble, or because he couldn't bear to do it, the bottom line was that he just didn't want to see so many people die.
But there are many things in this world that cannot be achieved by hard work alone.
His grandfather, the old man who handed power to him, probably didn't have time to teach him that when someone wants to get what they want, if someone stands in the way, no matter who it is or how many there are, they will strike without mercy.
Zhou Zixi looked at the man opposite her with a lazy posture and a hint of sarcasm on his lips. He inexplicably felt as if he was completely exposed in those dark eyes, with nowhere to hide.
All his thoughts seemed so childish, ridiculous, and presumptuous to him. There was clearly no smoke or flash of swords around him, but at this moment, he saw the man in front of him, sword and gun in hand, cutting through the thorns and brambles, bright red marks carved into his body with each step, and blood everywhere he passed.
Although they were sitting opposite each other, it was the first time he felt how huge the gap was between them.
Even though he grew up in a military camp, was taught to be upright while watching others engage in deception, and learned some tricks in school and society to handle his studies and interpersonal relationships with ease, in front of him, all of these are not worth mentioning.
But Zhou Zixi did not back down. He felt that someone had to do some things, and he didn't know where his confidence came from. He always felt that this person was the same type as him.
The two men's eyes met in the air, but there was no spark or resonance.
"Two conditions. One, from now on, all news from the capital must be shared with us unconditionally. Two, of the one-third of supplies, one-fifth must remain untouched, and the rest must be exchanged for crystals."
Crystal?
Zhou Zixi's pupils shrank, and he asked, "What do you want the crystal for?"
They had long received orders to collect and hand in the crystals, but up to now, apart from knowing the energy contained in them and the correspondence between colors and superpowers, there has been no progress in finding out whether they are useful to the human body and how to use them. There have even been tragedies where people turned into zombies after accidentally eating crystals, so the crystals are now only collected by the official authorities, and survivors generally use them to exchange for supplies with the base. Few survivors specifically collect such things.
"It's none of your business."
Zhou Zixi narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that they must have some secret. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded and said, "Deal. See you at the base gate at 5 am the day after tomorrow."
------------
Before the end of the world, the destination was a prosperous village nearby called Shangliu Town.
The town is surrounded by mountains and is located on a high ground with a main road running through it.
The reason they came here is because this is an agricultural product base of a major brand company. The village is surrounded by fertile farmland, and there is a grain storage warehouse in the northwest corner of the town.
But what is strange is that no one knows what happened here, and no one in the town escaped. Moreover, it is not that no one has thought about coming here, but there are many zombies here, and the entrance road near J City is narrow. The highway that can only accommodate one small car is also blocked by vehicles in the town. It is impossible for an ordinary team of psychics to safely find the granary and then move the supplies out by manpower. Some people have tried it fearlessly, but they finally escaped in embarrassment.
As for the other official forces in the base, they were unwilling to spend a lot of manpower and ammunition for the perfect amount of food here, so it was Zhou Zixi and his team's turn.
After driving for five hours, the group finally arrived at the entrance of the town.
There were more than one hundred people involved in this operation. Except for the Chaoyang Squad, the rest were soldiers under Battalion Commander Wan.
Everyone was divided into two groups. Zhou Zixi, with twenty psychics in the army and the Chaoyang team, was mainly responsible for quickly entering the granary to collect supplies, while Battalion Commander Wan, with the rest of the people, was responsible for providing support and clearing a safe passage.
Their plan was to first have four speed-type people lead the zombies away in four directions, and then Zhou Zixi would lead eight attack-type people and Lin Cong from the Chaoyang team to lead the way. After entering, the rest of the people would deal with the zombies near and inside the granary.
"Are you ready?" Battalion Commander Wan asked the four people in front of him.
"Ready!"
"Be sure to pay attention to safety, don't fight too long, pay attention to your physical strength consumption at all times, retreat if you can't fight it, and never get surrounded." He warned solemnly.
A few of them agreed and quickly ran towards the town under the reluctant eyes of their comrades.
While waiting, the people outside moved the abandoned vehicles blocking the main road at the town entrance to avoid difficulties in retreating in the event of an accident.
"Coming."
Li Hangyuan looked at the peculiar communicator in his hand and spoke to the others.
The four speed systems all had locators installed on their bodies, which allowed them to check their positions in real time.
"Prepare to enter!"
Zhou Zixi and Gu Chao looked at each other and each led their men inside.
About two hundred meters into the main road, they saw the speed soldier in front running towards them at a constant speed, followed by about a hundred zombies.
Everyone took quick action.
Earth-type soldiers created obstacles on the ground, diverting the zombies. The zombies in the front were tripped one after another, while those behind were blocked by the earth wall. Then came the powerful attacks of gold and fire, and for a moment, the fire and gold shone brightly. Finally, the strength-type soldiers made the final move, destroying the heads of the injured zombies who were still alive.
It can be seen that the soldiers under Zhou Zixi cooperated very tacitly and in an orderly manner. Although they could not burn a zombie's head to ashes in a short time like Lin Cong, their speed in eliminating zombies was no less.
The further we go, the more we feel the difficulty of this task.
There are about 30,000 people in the entire town. Except for the zombies trapped in the houses on both sides of the road, the rest are gathered on the streets, densely packed and terrifying.
Fortunately, the main road of this town is not straight and there are many small roads. Otherwise, all the zombies on the road would be attracted here and they would be doomed.
The group moved very quickly, covering two-thirds of the distance in less than four hours, without alerting the zombies wandering around on other roads. However, they would pass the town hospital ahead, so they had to stop to recover their strength to avoid encountering the large group inside.
