Chapter 70 Cleaning up residential buildings
Hua Yang heard Gu Xiaoyue mumbling Xing Lie's name and asked, "Yes, this car was given by him. His name is Xing Lie. Have you heard of him?"
Gu Xiaoyue shook her head, searched the name again in her mind, and continued: "I've never heard of anyone with the last name Xing." Gu Xiaoyue was about to say something but stopped herself from saying it.
There is a young general named Lie in the special forces of Kyoto City, but I heard that he is very mysterious. He is the eldest son of the Yao family and the nephew of Deputy General Yao Mingshan. His name is Yao Lie. It shouldn't be the person Hua Yang mentioned.
Several people drove to the suburbs of the closed city adjacent to Tianlan City. There were several small villages and residential areas near the suburbs. Before they got close, they saw many zombies wandering around the residential areas.
Hua Yang felt that this time they were going from Tianlan City to Haicheng by land and sea, and she didn't know what would happen along the way. In the team, except for herself, Gu Xiaoyue, Wu Tianqi and her father were only first-level psychics, and her mother and Xiao Ming did not have psychics. If they really encountered an emergency, her strength was not enough.
Because the villages and residential areas are in the suburbs, the population is not very dense even though it is large. As for the zombies on the road now, a few people are enough to deal with them.
It was a good place to upgrade their abilities. At least it would be safer for Wu Tianqi and his father to upgrade their abilities to level 2 before setting off. In addition, it was almost dark, and driving at night was too unsafe in this apocalyptic world.
"Dad, stop the car. We're going to find a place to rest in a nearby residential area before going to the military base."
Hua Yang’s words didn’t make any sense to the few people, so they got out of the car one after another, and Hua Yang put the car into the space again.
Hua Jianming's supernatural powers have been fully restored along the way, and he has reinforced and upgraded the weapons of several people.
The scattered zombies had already discovered Hua Yang and the others the moment they went down to the ground. The strong smell of human flesh stimulated their sense of smell, making them feel even hungrier.
Seeing that a dozen zombies were surrounding them first, Gu Xiaoyue's wood-based ability was already stirring, and two vines grew and danced rapidly in her hands.
"Xiaoyue, everyone should try to use less superpowers and use weapons to kill zombies. Level 1 superpowers are easily depleted, so everyone should just treat it as exercise."
Hua Yang reminded everyone that the zombies in the early days of the apocalypse were not very strong. As long as you had a strong body and sharp weapons, it was easy to deal with them.
On the contrary, if one uses supernatural powers and consumes them excessively, the user will be in a weak state, which is dangerous.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Xiaoyue retracted her supernatural power, picked up the axe that Hua Yang had given her before, and prepared for battle.
In fact, after Gu Xiaoyue left Li Huan's team and turned back to find Hua Yang, she noticed the difference in Hua Yang. This girl was about the same age as her, but she had wisdom and strength that she could not match.
The little green and golden cicada followed them in the air and did not come down. The little white tiger was thrown back into space by Hua Yang early in the morning. Hua Yang really didn't want to see the snow-white fur being polluted by the zombie brain juice again, especially the scene where the little white tiger swallowed the brain juice when licking the fur, which was really unbearable for her.
Hua Yang rushed to the front, and together with Wu Tianqi, they attacked left and right, cutting off the zombies' claws cleanly and neatly. Then the zombies without claws flowed behind them, providing room for Hua Jianming and Li Xiaoyu to chop them down.
Gu Mingyue was standing aside to stop the zombies from attacking them from the side. She originally thought that it would take a long time to kill a zombie. Unexpectedly, with this axe, she chopped off the entire shoulder of a zombie, which scared her.
Gu Xiaoyue looked at the axe in her hand strangely, and then she became bolder. She chopped the zombies one by one with her axe. Except for a few that missed her head and needed another chop, the rest were killed with one blow from her axe.
Because Meng Yi had a fever and felt weak at the time, he did not join their team to chop zombies. He just stood in the middle of the team with a fruit knife in his hand, protecting Xiao Ming.
Although Xiao Ming is young, he also holds a small knife blessed by Hua Jianming in his hand. He looks around with a serious face and does not slack off or relax at all because he is the one being protected.
"Lao Meng, you and Xiao Ming dig up the zombie crystal cores, and we'll move to the residential area. Clear out a residential unit, and we'll have a good rest tonight."
"Okay! Little guy, do you dare to dig out the zombie's brain? If not, I will do it for you."
Xiao Ming stared stubbornly, his hands holding the knife sweating nervously, but he still nodded, squatted silently and began to dig out the zombie's brain on the ground.
If someone passed by at this time, they would be shocked.
The team consisted of seven people, including men, women, old and young. Five of them formed a large circle and killed the dozen zombies that surrounded them. In the innermost circle was a fat man and a child, who were digging out the zombies' brains with knives and putting their hands into the brains to stir them.
The scene was a bit weird and disgusting.
After the initial attempts, Li Xiaoyu gradually adapted to it. With the help of Hua Yang and others, she also acquired certain skills in killing zombies.
While killing zombies, they moved towards the residential buildings on the street. They did not let go of any place with zombies along the way. It didn't take long for them to clear out a piece of open space.
The street lights will not light up automatically because it is dark, and there are no lights in the residential areas. There are only the faint sounds of dragging footsteps and some tiny gnawing sounds of bones rubbing against each other.
Hua Yang did not dare to be careless. She used a water shield to wrap everyone up and walked into the residential area. She found a military and civilian building closest to the entrance and exit, then led everyone in and began to clear out the zombies inside.
The old residential buildings here had no elevators, so they could only search house by house, clearing out the zombies that were found and looking for some useful supplies and food in the houses where no zombies had been found.
After they finished cleaning the first floor, they closed and locked the door and continued cleaning the upper floors. Finally, they finished cleaning the fifth floor. The seven of them found an empty room and went in. After closing the door, everyone collapsed on the floor, exhausted.
There was only a short distance from the entrance to the residential building, but they had already cleared more than 70 zombies. Although there were many, they were scattered in pairs, so they posed no threat to them except for the pain in their hands.
Naturally, the harvest was also full. They dug up a total of 60 crystal cores from more than 70 zombies. The probability of crystal cores appearing was increasing, which also meant that the zombies were gradually evolving. I believe that soon, the number of second-level zombies will gradually increase.
Hua Yang washed the crystal cores collected by Meng Yi and Xiao Ming and put them into the space, then checked the structure of the house. Although the house was old, it was not small. It had three bedrooms, one living room, two bathrooms and a balcony, and was about 120 square meters.
The room was pitch black. I guess the circuit had been damaged long ago and there was no electricity.
The group had been traveling for a whole day, and although they were not hungry, killing zombies, escaping, and cleaning the corridors had made Hua Yang sweat a lot, so she wanted to take a hot bath. Hua Yang said something to everyone, and then she started to tinker in the bathroom.
There was a multi-function generator in her space, but this old residential building had no wiring for the generator. Fortunately, she bought a multi-function generator, which allowed her to plug electrical appliances directly into the generator socket.
So Hua Yang took out a bath tub and filled it with space spirit water. She took out the heating rod she had bought before and pressed it on the multi-function generator she had bought, and the heating rod heated up the water.
After a while, she felt the water getting warmer, so Hua Yang took out shower gel and other things and started taking a bath.
Being able to take a hot bath in the apocalypse is definitely a comfortable and luxurious thing. But Hua Yang has already made preparations for herself and her family to live a good life in the apocalypse.
After taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, Hua Yang went out and asked everyone to take turns to take a bath. She also left clean clothes for everyone.
By the time everyone had finished their round of bathing, it had been a long time. This efficiency of bathing made Hua Yang determined that if she had the conditions in the future, she would definitely let her father install a generator and solar panel water heater at home.
Hua Yang filled the living room table with hot food, including hamburgers, fried chicken, porridge, rice, noodles, and some pheasant meat that Li Xiaoyu had made at Hua Yang's house before but had not finished eating.
Everyone was full and clean, so they were naturally sleepy.
Hua Yang took out thick blankets and quilts to share with everyone. There were only three rooms in this house, one for Hua Jianming and Li Xiaoyu, one for Meng Yi and Wu Tianqi, and one for Gu Xiaoyue and Xiaoming. Hua Yang volunteered to sleep on the sofa to keep watch.
Originally, Hua's father and mother did not agree with their daughter keeping watch in the living room, but Hua Yang said that she could catch up on her sleep on the way to the base in the morning, so Hua's father and mother did not stop her.
