Chapter 54 Zombie Harvest
Yun Shuhuai’s attack methods are diverse and can match those of the enemy’s natural abilities, but they are still far inferior to her enhanced abilities.
Xi Qing only has a second-level ability, but after her assistance, it even reaches the power of the fourth level.
It is completely a waste of energy to deal with a first-level small zombie. It is like frying fish in a novice village.
With such a comparison, it is clear which of her skills is more powerful. No matter how strong Yun Shuhuai’s other attack abilities are, they are not as strong as the abilities assisted by her.
"Can't your skill work on yourself?" Xi Qing asked.
"Yes, otherwise why would I bring you with me."
"Hiss——, having such a powerful auxiliary ability but not being able to assist yourself, this is really..." Xi Qing couldn't think of words to describe it.
"It's really a bummer." Yun Shuhuai added an adjective to her.
Xi Qing: "Well, it's true."
Yun Shuhuai said helplessly: "This is probably the special feature of special abilities."
After this battle, Xi Qing was no longer as timid as before. It's not her fault. She had lived in fear of being surrounded by zombies for so many days. As soon as she came out, she had to face such a large number of zombies. It was good that she didn't run away out of fear. Not everyone has experienced the end of the world like Yun Shuhuai. She was not much better in the early stage of her previous life.
As the saying goes, all fear comes from insufficient firepower.
After killing so many zombies with her own hands, Xi Qing's insufficient firepower syndrome was completely cured. Now she looks a lot more confident and even wants to do it again with Yun Shuhuai.
After the break, it was time to go down and pick up the crystal cores. However, there were more than one place with zombies in this school. Digging them one by one would not only be too slow, but also disturbed by zombies from other places.
Fortunately, most of the dead zombies were concentrated at one end of the playground. Yun Shuhuai threw more incendiary bottles to cover their entire bodies with flames, and threw a bunch of collected wood and other combustion aids on the zombies, waiting for them to burn slowly.
She planned to clean up another place first, and then come back to pick up the crystal cores after the fire burned out.
Xi Qing looked at the flames burning on the playground, thought for a while, and said to Yun Shuhuai: "Help me again."
"What for?"
"To help with combustion."
Yun Shuhuai understood.
Xi Qing stood at the edge of the roof, Yun Shuhuai put his hand on her back, she opened her arms as if to feel the flow of the wind.
Yun Shuhuai stood behind Xi Qing and felt that the air flow around him was getting faster and faster. A visible whirlwind formed in front of him with the pile of zombies as the center. The wood thrown on the zombies began to burn faster under the blessing of the wind.
Xi Qing controlled the speed of the whirlwind to avoid the wind speed being too fast to blow out the flames, just enough to allow the wood to burn to the maximum extent.
With the help of the wind, the fire burned more and more vigorously. The flames were held by the wind and formed an exaggerated fire tornado on the pile of zombies. The things inside were burning and crackling. The hot breath rushed over. Yun Shuhuai opened the energy shield to block them so that Xi Qing could continue to output.
Yun Shuhuai thought that if it was viewed from a high place, it would definitely look like a gas stove.
Not long after, Xi Qing stopped. The fire on the playground was already burning very vigorously. The air was filled with the smell of burnt zombies mixed with the smell of burning plastic track. Even through the mask, it was really unbearable.
Yun Shuhuai quickly took out gas masks and asked the two to wear them. After all, the smell of burning plastic and artificial turf is poisonous. It would be funny if they were not bitten to death by zombies but were poisoned by the smell.
The two sat in the insulated cabinet room on the roof. Xi Qing controlled the wind to blow away the stench and heat nearby, and Yun Shuhuai took out ice water to cool them down.
After a short rest, the two quickly set off to the next location.
The East and West Track and Field Stadiums are separated by only a main road. The difference is that there is a gymnasium next to the West Track and Field Stadium.
Maybe it was because they made too much noise on the East Track and Field Stadium before, so the zombies on the west side were attracted there. Now there are not as many zombies here as on the other side.
Of course, it could also be because the events here were not attractive.
Although there were fewer zombies here, there were still several hundred, and they didn't know how many were hidden in the gymnasium.
After crossing that road, they could see the gymnasium directly. The back door of the gymnasium was closed, and the front door faced the track and field. They couldn't see the situation inside clearly yet.
The gymnasium only had two floors, but the roof was designed to cover the entire roof. There was a very wide edge on the side, which was difficult for Yun Shuhuai to climb. There happened to be two square side rooms on both sides of the building, and the two chose one of them to climb up.
Standing on the side room, they could just see the situation inside the gymnasium through the window.
The good thing is that there are not many zombies in there, only two teams of zombies wearing basketball uniforms, and some zombies that might be spectators, there are probably dozens of them scattered here and there.
Xi Qing looked inside and whispered, "I heard from my roommate that they don't start the basketball game until 10 o'clock in the morning, so there aren't many people here."
"How does your roommate know so much?"
"Because she calculated the time and said she wanted to come here to watch the handsome basketball guy."
"..."
Indeed, if there happened to be a basketball game here on the day of the end of the world, it would definitely be filled with zombies now. Basketball has always been a popular event in sports games. Even boys who play basketball in physical education class will attract many female spectators.
Yun Shuhuai put out a few cabinets and stacked them up as a stepping stone. The two climbed to the top of the gymnasium safely. In the end, they took away the cabinets to prevent zombies from following them up.
Standing up there, you can just see the situation nearby.
The fire in the east is still burning, and it has attracted some zombies around, but not many. The zombies feel threatened by the fire and leave, so there are not too many new zombies gathered there.
However, the location here is still too low. If they want to see the situation in other places, their view is blocked by the tall teaching buildings. Fortunately, the school is large enough, and it is precisely because of these buildings and the sufficient green space in the school that they did not attract more zombies when they made such a big commotion in the East Path.
After the two of them explored everywhere, they were ready to act.
Yun Shuhuai took out a new drone and released it into the air.
The previous one was chopped down along with the zombie under Xi Qing's attack.
Two drones were directly scrapped in a short period of time, but Yun Shuhuai didn't feel bad because she had already taken down an offline drone store and warehouse when she was collecting supplies.
They used the same trick again. After the drone attracted the zombies, Yun Shuhuai began to assist Xi Qing in harvesting them.
This time they stood high enough and did not have to worry about the zombies climbing up. With the experience of the first time, they moved with ease this time and quickly cleared the zombies here.
