Li Xiao spent about two minutes looking at the map and found several places that could be used.
"I found a few places that are pretty good, take a look."
Everyone waited for Li Xiao, and Li Xiao didn't dawdle, saying one by one: "The first one is a place not far from here. There is a small park there. It's not very big, and there are some buildings all around."
"The second one is on the right, about three blocks from here. It's a fairly lively place, and there are a lot of zombies there. I suspect there's a hospital there."
"The third one is a bit further from here. Keep going to the right and continue forward; that should be the commercial street. Take a look and see which one suits you best."
These are a few places that Li Xiao thinks are relatively close. First of all, there are a lot of zombies. It doesn't matter if the location is not ideal. She can rest for a while. It doesn't matter.
"How about we go to the closer place first, and then slowly move forward? What do you guys think?" Shao Jie was the first to offer his opinion.
"What do you guys think?" Yu Yanbin looked around, wanting to get the opinions of the others.
“I think that’s a good idea too. The point of coming out is to kill zombies, so we’ll definitely be dealing with places where there are a lot of zombies. We’ll have to kill them eventually, so we’ll probably go to these kinds of places.” Cheng Shaolin looked at Yu Yanbin.
Everyone else felt the same way, so the final decision was to go check out the first place first.
After resting for about an hour, they had almost recovered, and Yu Yanbin ordered them to head straight to that small park.
The small park was on the left, so they slowly made their way to the left.
Fortunately, it's not far away, only two streets from where they are now, and we'll see them soon.
Yu Yanbin and Xiao Peng led the way, followed by Li Xiao, Shao Jie, and Zheng Yongnian. Cheng Shaolin was on the other side, also keeping an eye on Li Xiao and the others. Next was Tian Tian, and then Meng Yang and Qiu Fengyu followed to clean up the mess.
Advancing in this formation was quite effective. The team was well-balanced in offense and defense, supported each other, and could take breaks as needed. It took them about two hours to reach the vicinity of the small park that Li Xiao had chosen.
This park is indeed very small, covering an area of about 1-2 acres.
This is coming from the left side of the industrial park; past those shops are some residential buildings.
This small park is right next to these residential buildings, close to them.
Li Xiao looked to the side and saw that there were some high-rise buildings of more than 20 stories around, not far in front of the park.
It seems that this park is a place for the residents living here to relax and unwind.
The park isn't large, but it has fairly complete facilities.
There were various fitness facilities for exercising, as well as playground equipment for children. There were also some flower beds and trees, but they are no longer visible.
The flower beds and roadsides are now devoid of any green plants, leaving only bare soil and black rotten matter, emitting a foul stench.
Before, when the sun was blazing, there wasn't any unpleasant smell. It was as if all the smells had evaporated. But since it started raining, all those unpleasant smells have reappeared.
The continuous rain caused some dilapidated things to rot and mold, which became the source of the foul smell.
Even without rain, places that are not exposed to sunlight for a long time will still grow mold and begin to rot.
For example, all kinds of houses, especially those dilapidated ones, are prone to mold growth after being rained on.
Previously, excessive sun exposure easily led to skin diseases; now, with the rain, it's easier to catch a cold, develop skin diseases, and even some women are prone to gynecological problems. After all, without sunlight, bacteria can easily proliferate.
Actually, nowadays, prolonged periods of rain are even more troublesome.
In the sweltering summer heat, you can simply work at night and adjust your activity time accordingly to reduce the risk of sun exposure.
But rain is different. Rain causes many things to spoil and rot, and makes them prone to disease. This cannot be improved by adjusting the time.
Therefore, things are even more difficult now than before, and as a result, many more people are dying now than before.
While at the base, I often heard how many people had died. But death is so common in the apocalypse that even hearing the numbers every day didn't evoke much of a reaction.
It's just a number, a little more or a little less.
Having long been accustomed to life and death, what difference would it make if a few more people died?
People are numb; how much of this can possibly inspire them?
Anyone who's survived to this day must be hard-hearted. Without a hard heart, how could they have lived this long?
Looking at the park, riddled with potholes, it's a far cry from its former leisurely and carefree state. What was once a place where the elderly and children enjoyed life is now dilapidated.
The ground was bare, littered with trash. Packaging bags, tattered clothes, and rusty exercise equipment were all bathed in the gloomy sky and the drizzling rain.
In the park now, only a few dark, skeletal zombies can be seen moving around. When they see them approaching, they pounce on them like wild dogs smelling raw meat, baring their teeth and claws.
Cheng Shaolin threw several fireballs, which hit the zombies in the neck. Within moments, the zombies collapsed and could not get up.
Meng Yang consciously reached out with a few thin vines, rummaged around inside the zombie's head, picked up two irregular crystals, and held them out to Meng Yang.
Meng Yang opened his palm and took it. The vine placed the crystal in Meng Yang's palm and then withdrew it.
The whole process was completed in less than a minute, which was really quick and efficient.
Meng Yang placed the crystal in his palm into the satchel at his waist. The satchel was already half full, indicating that there were quite a few crystals.
"How is it here?" Li Xiao asked.
I've been here for a few minutes now, and I've seen almost everything I need to see.
“It should be possible.” Yu Yanbin had already discussed it with Cheng Shaolin.
They weren't planning to lure zombies into this park.
They chose the supermarket next to the park.
There are no shelters around the park. If you want to kill zombies here, you'll have to cover the area yourself, which would be a huge undertaking. It's better to use the supermarket next door.
That supermarket is quite large, with two floors.
Using the supermarket as a base, with an unobstructed view of the adjacent park, any danger can be spotted at a glance. It's a good combination of offense and defense.
"Let's set up the surrounding area here." Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin exchanged a glance and finally decided to camp here.
Everyone agreed on the decision, so they immediately set about making arrangements.
Xiao Peng started by building a mud wall around the supermarket, half a meter thick and two meters high.
While Xiao Peng was starting out, Cheng Shaolin and his team were also busy.
The location was spacious, so it was inevitable that zombies would swarm in immediately.
Everyone got busy, some killing zombies, others repairing the courtyard wall, all working in an orderly fashion.
