Lin Xue tossed a bag of food to the group and then began to take stock of her talismans.
After counting the number of zombies outside the city wall, I selected some lightning talismans, flame talismans, and explosive flame talismans to kill the zombies outside later.
Of course, she did this behind the team's back; as they say, rarity increases value, and she dared not reveal too much.
If these people try to morally blackmail her, she'll have to deal with them.
This will inevitably leave some misunderstanding between the two sides, which will be detrimental to future actions.
"Have you all eaten?"
"If you're still hungry, I'll go find you some more."
Seeing that the person opposite had finished eating, Lin Xue slowly walked out of the darkness.
"I'm full! It's been a long time since I've eaten this much!"
The bearded man patted his stomach; due to prolonged hunger, just a few pieces of bread were enough to make them feel full.
"The contract you mentioned is ready, right? Let me see it!"
Lin Xue couldn't possibly miss a thing. They had agreed to sign a contract, and while they ate, they discussed it and wrote and drew on paper.
"Alright, alright, please take a look, employer!"
"These are the results the brothers just came up with. Do you see if there's anything we need to add?"
The bearded lackey took the agreement from the table in front of the captain and personally handed it to Lin Xue.
Employment Agreement
For a period of one year, the Blade Squad was hired by Lin Xue.
During this time, the employer must not make unreasonable demands or ask the Blade Squad to do anything unethical; otherwise, they must obey the employer's orders.
During the employment relationship, the employer must provide the Blade Squad with a certain amount of food, and the Blade Squad will also actively cooperate with the employer to find supplies.
Once the employment relationship ends, the Blade Team may leave at their own discretion, and the employer may not prevent them from doing so for any reason!
"After thinking for so long, this is all you came up with?"
After reading the contents of the agreement, Lin Xue felt that it was far too simple.
"Of course, the premise is that you have a way to lure away most of the zombies surrounding the area, otherwise this agreement will not be effective!"
These people were willing to do anything for other survivors, but when it came to themselves, they had to make conditions.
Sigh, my life is really tough!
Lin Xue couldn't help but sigh, then picked up a pen and signed her name on it.
"Get ready, we'll be leaving in half an hour!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she leaped onto the city wall in a few bounds.
The paper cranes that had been folded beforehand were released, and they actually flapped their wings and flew up.
Before long, the zombies outside the wall started chasing after the little paper crane.
She put the smell of raw meat on the paper crane. Zombies have a keen sense of smell, and they won't be foolish enough to stay around here after smelling the meat.
Following the same method, several small paper cranes were thrown outside the walls of the residential area.
Then Lin Xue flipped over the wall and chased after the direction with the most zombies.
Only after they were far enough away from the neighborhood did Lin Xue activate the lightning-summoning talisman, turning all the zombies in that area into charred remains.
Of course, this lightning-attracting talisman cannot eliminate all the zombies. Apart from the part concentrated in the lightning net, the other zombies are not completely killed even if they are electrocuted.
However, their speed has decreased compared to before, and their bodies have become incomplete.
Such injured zombies are perfect for the people in the neighborhood to practice on.
Seeing that it was about time, Lin Xue changed directions a few more times and chased after the zombies to areas with a high concentration.
With a flick of his fingers, several explosive flame talismans mixed with lightning talismans cleaved most of the zombies within a 5,000-meter radius of the residential area into cripples!
The number of zombie deaths accounted for more than half of the total, so Lin Xue had exceeded her promise.
When she returned to the neighborhood, all the members of the Blade Squad had finished packing.
Everyone carried a backpack, which probably only contained two sets of clothes, making it look extremely empty.
The unusual activity outside did not attract the attention of the survivors in the community; they were either sound asleep or watching the lightning and thunder in the distance through their windows.
No one had the courage to step out and explore the reasons behind those strange phenomena.
"Miss Lin, I just saw lightning and thunder in the distance, and some firelight. I wonder if you caused it?"
Upon seeing Lin Xue return, the squad leader immediately came to greet her.
They were originally planning to help, but the man disappeared in a flash. When they caught up with him, they found that almost all the zombies outside the wall had fled.
"I have fulfilled my promise, now come with me!"
Lin Xue didn't want to explain too much to them, so she led her people over the wall and out of the community.
Now she's leading a team of nearly 30 people, so she can no longer leap across rooftops like she did on the way here.
We can only search for a way out little by little, groping our way outwards.
If Lin Xue hadn't possessed the ability to probe with her mental energy, the journey would have been far from easy.
Do you know where there are any sturdy cars in this town?
"At least it needs to be the kind that can run into zombies without getting damaged, and it needs to be of good quality!"
As they walked, they asked the people behind them questions, since these people had been here for so long and must know the town very well.
Instead of going through all the trouble of searching yourself, why not just ask them directly?
“We know that our original camp had a lot of pickup trucks. Those trucks are very durable and can easily run over zombies!”
Upon hearing Lin Xue's question, the bearded man immediately stepped forward and spoke.
"Take me there!"
The one speaking was still that bearded man. Lin Xue noticed that although he was big and burly with a stubble-covered face, he was the most active person in the group.
His image doesn't match his gossipy nature at all.
"Okay, I know this road well, I'll lead the way!"
Upon hearing Lin Xue's words, the bearded man did not refuse and immediately walked to the front of the line.
They didn't choose the main road because there were too many zombies on it, but instead chose some side roads.
The paths in this area have been blocked off by the Blade Squad, so zombies generally won't go in.
The team just needs to work a bit harder, as they often have to climb up and down stairs.
Although it takes some time, it's safer.
Even if there were one or two zombies that somehow managed to get in, the group was able to deal with them quickly.
After many twists and turns, the group quickly arrived at the original camp of the Blade Squad. The camp now appeared somewhat dilapidated, with weeds growing everywhere.
