Chapter 131 76th Army Superpower Corps
Throughout her life, Yu Shan faced countless crises, and she never lacked composure in critical moments.
Just as she decided to use all her strength to cast a purification spell, first to kill a group of zombies and tear open a gap, she heard the roar of a large truck.
Soon, three military trucks approached from the other end of the road.
In the back of each truck, there were seven or eight soldiers armed with live ammunition.
At this moment, upon seeing the soldiers appear, Yu Shan was momentarily dazed.
Having been away from Blue Star for many years, she had almost forgotten that in the Blue Star country where she once lived, ordinary people could still rely on the military.
The military trucks made a lot of noise, and the zombies surrounding them were momentarily stunned by the sound.
They didn't know whether to go find these people or stay and continue attacking the superpowered squad led by Yu Shan Gu Ren.
Soldiers jumped off the military trucks, and an officer in the lead shouted to them, "Hold on! We will get you out of the encirclement."
With a wave of his hand, the officer unleashed a bolt of lightning the thickness of a thumb that struck the brain of the leading zombie.
The zombie was struck through the brain by lightning, and after struggling for less than ten seconds, it convulsed and collapsed to the ground.
"My God! Who is he? He actually awakened lightning-based superpowers?"
"Lightning-type abilities are invincible among those of the same level, and it's even possible to kill zombies of higher levels. We're saved now!"
As people discussed the incident, the team almost forgot about continuing to attack the walkers.
Although Yu Shan was also pleasantly surprised, she was never the type to rely on others.
On the contrary, in her view, these soldiers were both reinforcements and comrades-in-arms.
They arrived just in time, giving the enemy a head-on blow, but she wouldn't be foolish enough to wait for the soldiers to wipe out the entire horde of zombies.
Taking advantage of the soldiers' first wave of attacks, she quickly used a purification spell on Wanwan.
The leading officer quickly noticed that among this small group of civilian superhumans, there was a young and beautiful girl whose superhuman abilities were quite peculiar.
After being enveloped by her supernatural light, the zombie immediately turned into a pile of rotting flesh and collapsed to the ground.
He charged toward her, his teammates close behind, breaking through the zombies' encirclement.
The officer finally reached Yu Shan, striking the zombies with lightning as he looked at her and said, "Miss, your superpower is quite unique. Would you be interested in joining our 76th Army's Superpower Regiment?"
"Huh?" Yu Shan was a little confused. What was wrong with this guy? In the midst of a fierce battle, he still remembered to recruit teammates?
However, she now needs the support of the army, after all, there are still so many elderly people and children in the village.
Most importantly, these soldiers have convenient means of transportation and fuel.
With that in mind, she nodded decisively: "Okay!"
Seeing her so readily agreeable and unpretentious, the officer smiled and even freed one hand to shake hers; "Jiang Tao! Commander of the 76th Army's Special Abilities Regiment!"
“Zuo Shan, a marathon runner,” Yu Shan said, having reverted to her former name since returning to her hometown.
Fifteen minutes later, the besieging zombies began to scatter and flee. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the zombies were not scattering aimlessly, but rather retreating in an orderly manner.
"There's a psychic zombie hiding nearby, at least at the fourth level," Yu Shan reminded Jiang Tao.
“I understand, but the highest level of psychic ability in our team today is only level three, so we can’t track down that zombie. We had no choice but to let it escape,” Jiang Tao said regretfully.
At this moment, Yu Shan's old friend also came over and said, "Hello, Commander Jiang! I am Yu Kaile, the captain of the folk supernatural ability team in Zhongliang Township nearby."
I just heard you mention that you wanted to recruit my classmate Zuo Shan. Our team members would also like to join. I wonder if we have the honor of doing so?
"Of course, we welcome all those with special abilities who are willing to join us in order to protect the lives and safety of the people."
However, the prerequisite is that you can pass our assessment.
"Of course, even if someone doesn't pass the assessment, they are welcome to stay in the logistics team," Jiang Tao said.
When Yu Shan heard his old friend introduce himself, he racked his brains and finally remembered his identity.
It turns out that Yu Kaile was actually her deskmate in high school.
Looking back on what happened back then, Yu Shan belatedly realized that Yu Kaile seemed to have had feelings for her back then.
Unfortunately, she was completely focused on getting into a sports school at that time.
When she returned to her hometown to visit relatives, her life focus had completely shifted to sports events, and she was only thinking about winning the marathon championship in provincial and even national track and field competitions.
So she didn't even notice that her old classmate harbored secret thoughts.
Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't be interested in him.
Compared to her Xiaobai, Yu Kaile was simply too ordinary. It was as if the former was a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish that had been simmering all night, while the latter was just a plate of smashed cucumber.
They're not even in the same league; there's absolutely no comparison.
However, although Yu Shan could not accept the pure feelings of her youth, she did not show the slightest contempt or ridicule.
She respects every sincere emotion.
However, she couldn't care less about those romantic feelings right now.
She followed Jiang Tao into the solar circuit board factory, watching the soldiers collect circuit boards in an orderly fashion and disassemble large generators and batteries.
At times like this, she especially misses her storage space, but unfortunately, her level is too low and she has completely lost contact with it.
Yu Shan glanced at the soldiers' large trucks, then at his own electric motorcycle, and shamelessly said:
"Commander Jiang, I have a favor to ask. Could you please send someone to deliver some circuit boards to our village?"
The survivors in the village are mostly elderly people and children; the lack of electricity is extremely inconvenient.
"If the distance is no more than 50 kilometers and the road conditions are good, we can consider it; otherwise, there's nothing we can do to help."
"After all, our primary task right now is to gather all available resources," Jiang Tao said frankly.
"Really? That's great. Our village is more than ten kilometers away from here, and the road has not been damaged on a large scale."
"I can guarantee that this trip will take you no more than half an hour," Yu Shan said excitedly.
This trip was quite fruitful; the solar circuit boards were not something the zombies could eat, and the damage was minimal.
With the apocalypse approaching and most areas losing power, these solar circuit boards become quite valuable.
Five members of Yu Kaile's team had lost all their relatives, including Yu Kaile himself.
The five of them followed Jiang Tao's convoy, while the rest, after receiving their circuit boards, went home.
Jiang Tao personally led a team to the village, and after seeing the situation there, he hesitated.
Logically, it would be better for the elderly and children to go to the newly built safe zones, but the current safe zones have become somewhat distorted.
Bullying by the strong persists despite repeated bans, and the authorities are unable to dedicate sufficient resources to addressing this issue.
The elderly and children who have moved to the safe zone will likely have a much harder time living than they would in the village.
Yu Shan was naturally aware of this, which is why she asked Jiang Tao's convoy for help in transporting some solar circuit boards to improve the lives of the survivors in the village.
At the same time, the presence of the army gives them more courage to live.
After the convoy entered the village, it delivered a circuit board to every household.
The villagers were overjoyed; they never expected that Xiao Shanzi would bring back so many solar circuit boards while out gathering information.
Jiang Tao and his group couldn't stay long, so they drank the well water the village chief brought them, cleared away a group of zombies, and then prepared to make their way.
Yu Shan explained the general situation to the villagers. Those elderly people with supernatural abilities knew that the army would not accept them, so they decided to stay in the village and take care of each other.
Jiang Tao fully expected that this village would be like the survivors in other villages and towns, where people would rush over to the soldiers, crying and begging them to take them away.
"Why...why would they willingly stay in the village?" Jiang Tao asked, puzzled.
"Because they didn't want to be a burden, and also because the village is remote and relatively safe," Yu Shan explained.
In fact, the village wouldn't have been safe if she hadn't organized everyone to hunt down the zombies in time.
When they heard that their granddaughter wanted to take them with her, the grandparents shook their heads and firmly expressed their opposition.
"Little Fan, we can't hold you back. We're relieved to see you can go with the soldiers."
"If you ever have the chance to go to the city in the future, please take the opportunity to look for your parents and younger brother," Grandma said.
With no other choice, Yu Shan had to temporarily bid farewell to the small village.
She believed that with the transportation support provided by the army, she would definitely be able to find her parents and younger brother.
