The fireball instantly surrounded the zombie, and the scorching flames quickly ignited on its body.
With a roar as it clutched its head, the zombie, which hadn't even taken two steps, collapsed.
The withered body was burned to ashes in no time, leaving only a layer of black ash on the ground. The ash was blown away by the wind and disappeared somewhere unknown.
Shao Jie, panting, watched the zombies being wiped out. "You guys are really something. I spent all that time and you were faster than me."
"I'll need your help to lure it away, otherwise it won't be easy to deal with," Cheng Shaolin said sincerely.
Shao Jie stepped forward, rummaged through the sparse ashes and pulled out a crystal, which he then put away.
This part is finished, and the surrounding zombies have been mostly cleared out.
Divide into several groups and go into the community to take a look; it would be best if we could find something useful.
Everyone wasted no time and moved quickly, entering the apartment building and climbing the stairs.
Li Xiao felt that there was nothing left in the community; she would take everything she could with her.
The neighborhood has probably been completely cleared out; there's practically nothing left.
It's possible, but they eventually found something. They even found it in rooms where the doors hadn't been opened.
If the door has never been opened, then no one has ever entered, and something must have been left behind.
Besides the items, there's also a high chance of encountering zombies.
Li Xiao understood all this, so she didn't plan to go up; she would just search from below.
There are other shops downstairs, the kind you find in every neighborhood. It's just that the chances of finding anything there are slim.
Just as she expected, there were only a few packs of tissues and some hard-to-reach items.
It's been so long, it's covered in dust, and the parts that were going to rot have already decayed and started to stink. The parts that don't rot easily will just be taken by others.
Looking at the shop, which resembled a garbage dump, Li Xiao had no desire to go inside.
She looked up at the sign above her that read "Fangfang Breakfast Shop," then turned and left the row of houses.
Forget it, let's go rummage through the ashes for crystals; at least we'll be able to see something there.
Cheng Shaolin was worried she'd get too much sun, so he sent her to find supplies. Since Li Xiao enjoyed doing this kind of thing, he let her go.
Little did they know, these supplies weren't so easy to find; it would have been more practical to look for crystals instead.
Only Meng Yang and Qiu Fengyu were still collecting crystals in the open space in the middle of the community; their special abilities were suitable for this task.
Seeing Li Xiao approaching, Meng Yang asked, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong? Didn't you find anything?"
Li Xiao shook her head. "No, if there were anything, it would have been taken long ago. Why would it still be here now?"
Meng Yang nodded, agreeing. "We don't need you here, go play over there."
Qiu Fengyu waved to her, and Li Xiao smiled. "Then I'm off."
"Let's go, let's go." Qiu Fengyu waved her hand as if shooing away flies, which displeased Li Xiao, while Meng Yang laughed heartily on the other side.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Li Xiao hid in the shade.
When Zhou Lingyu and the others arrived, they saw this scene.
Li Xiao sat comfortably in the shade, drinking mineral water, watching Meng Yang and the others search for crystals in the ashes of the zombies that had been burned to ashes.
At this moment, Zhou Lingyu felt a surge of anger. Why was she the only one who could sit there and be so relaxed?
She glared fiercely at Li Xiao, who already knew they were coming and that Zhou Lingyu was looking at her with murderous intent.
So what? Think what you want. We're not on the same path.
I don't want to pay attention to it, and I won't bother with it.
Li Xiao didn't want these unpleasant people to affect her mood; they weren't worth it.
They spend all their time focusing on others, calculating gains and losses, and worrying about how much they have.
If everyone did that, what would be the point?
Wanting to reap rewards without sowing is just plain stupid.
Li Xiao didn't want to argue, but others insisted on arguing with her, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Looking at Zhou Lingyu, who was still babbling on and on, Li Xiao felt extremely annoyed. Couldn't she just be quiet for a while in this heat?
"Could you please stay away from me?" Li Xiao tilted her head, somewhat annoyed.
"What do you mean? You're slacking off and you don't want people to say anything?" Zhou Lingyu said angrily.
"Whether I slack off or not is none of your business, just like I don't care when you slack off. Please have some self-awareness," Li Xiao said with a lazy smile.
Zhou Lingyu paused for a moment, then immediately retorted, "I'm slacking off? What do you mean by slacking off? You did it yourself and you're blaming me for it."
Li Xiaozhen was amazed by this kind of person's thought process. After thinking for a moment, she felt there was no need to get entangled with her. This kind of person would never realize that she was wrong, and even if she was, it would be someone else's fault.
Li Xiao twitched the corner of her mouth; it would be beneath her to argue with someone like that.
"What you do is your business, mind your own business." Li Xiao didn't even bother to say another word to her. It was so hot, was it uncomfortable to rest or sit? She didn't even want to give her a glance and left. She was going to go play somewhere else.
Just as she turned to leave, Zhou Lingyu was about to speak when she saw Li Xiao turn back and look at her with a cold gaze.
Zhou Lingyu was speechless for a moment and did not continue to say what she wanted to say.
Zhen Zhen and the others who were following her noticed that Li Xiao's eyes were not right, so they quickly tugged at Zhou Lingyu's clothes, trying to stop her from talking anymore.
Li Xiao stared at them for a minute before turning and leaving.
They're still bullying the weak and fearing the strong, huh.
Zhou Lingyu was stunned by Li Xiao's gaze. By the time she came to her senses, Li Xiao had already disappeared.
Feeling that she was losing face, she took her anger out on the person who pulled her clothes.
Zhen Zhen was clever enough to know that Zhou Lingyu would settle scores later, so she slipped away long ago. This left Sun Ping, unaware of the situation, and Liu Xiaohan, who wasn't so quick to react.
Li Xiao ignored what was going on between them and went up the stairs in the stairwell.
She went to this building where no one had entered yet, and just searched around.
It didn't take long for everyone to gather around the truck, where some bags were piled on the ground.
After cleaning up everything, everyone got into the car and headed in the direction Tang Yi and the others were.
Tang Yi and his team were still searching in the vicinity; it wasn't over yet.
When it was almost time, Tang Yi called Yu Yanbin and they headed towards the base together.
The roads have been cleared, and the city is now undergoing large-scale cleanup.
"Shao Jie, once you arrive at the base, your main task is to gather information. We don't know anything right now, so the fastest thing we can do is to find out what's going on inside the base."
“Okay, I understand.” Shao Jie didn’t hesitate to resign. He was more skilled in this area, so it would be faster for him to handle it.
"Yes, we need to understand each other before we can decide whether to stay here or not, understand?" Cheng Shaolin told Shao Jie, who was driving, about their plans.
"Hmm, it's possible we won't stay in the base, right?" Shao Jie had always thought they would stay in the base for a long time.
"Yes, does it have to be here if it's not suitable? The main purpose of going into the base is to get the people we brought with us in."
After he finished speaking, the car fell silent.
