After persisting like this for four days, everyone was exhausted.
I felt that such frequent and intense training was really too much for me, so I decided to take a day off to rest.
However, things took a turn for the better.
When the fire was lit that day, the sky was quickly filled with black smoke.
Everyone went inside to eat, intending to rest afterward.
"Eat quickly, someone's coming." Before they had finished eating, Li Xiao noticed someone was coming and urged everyone to finish the last bit of food quickly.
Upon hearing this, Shao Jie, who had been slowly shoveling rice into his mouth, began to devour it at a completely different pace than before.
"Who's here?" He was talking unclearly with food in his mouth, but he still ran to the window with his bowl to take a look.
"Hurry up," Xiao Peng urged him as he saw him still looking outside.
"Mmm." She quickly shoveled down two big mouthfuls, stuffed her mouth full, and put the bowl down.
There was still some time, so I quickly had Tian Tian wash the clothes with some water and put them away.
After cleaning the floor and table thoroughly, leaving no trace, they looked out the window.
"What's going on?" Yu Yanbin asked, frowning.
I haven't run into anyone for a long time, and I don't know who came here today.
"I don't know who they are, but there are more than a dozen of them coming this way."
"Yeah, they must have seen the smoke coming from here and came to check it out."
Who knows if that's true or not? Let's wait and see.
About five minutes later, the group finally arrived outside the courtyard wall on their side.
That group of people stood outside the courtyard wall, watching them.
Li Xiao and the others stood by the window watching them, staring at each other.
They didn't recognize this team and had never met them before. They hadn't encountered them in previous base missions either, so they didn't know which team from the base this was.
Seeing that the other party had already discovered them, Yu Yanbin went downstairs to meet this group of people.
There were 12 people standing outside the door, both men and women. Ten men and two women.
Yu Yanbin walked to the door, opened it, and let the group in. A large number of zombies had begun to gather outside, making their presence at the doorway very dangerous.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Yanbin asked.
The first person to step out was a sturdy middle-aged man.
He extended his hand and said to Yu Yanbin with a smile, "Hello, we are the Mad Lion Squad, and I am the captain, Zhang Kaisheng."
Yu Yanbin extended his hand and shook hands with him. "Hello, we are the Chaoyang Squad, and I am the captain, Yu Yanbin. What brings you here?"
Zhang Kaisheng said, "I saw smoke over here, so I came over to check. I thought there were people here, so I came over to ask if you're stationed here?"
Everything is laid out here; there's no need to say more. Everyone here understands.
"Yes, we're here to kill zombies."
Zhang Kaisheng looked at the man before him; he appeared to be a frail scholar, not particularly strong. However, given the large courtyard and the reinforced gates and windows, he couldn't be underestimated.
Zhang Kaisheng quickly said, "Oh, we're here to kill zombies too. We were wondering if you could give us some advice. We're not very familiar with this area; could you please show us around?"
Yu Yanbin looked at the somewhat simple-minded man in front of him and pondered for a moment. Realizing he was indeed short-handed, he wondered if they could collaborate.
He thought this was acceptable, so he nodded and let the group follow him into the restaurant.
Those following behind were speechless as they entered a large courtyard that surrounded the entire restaurant.
Then we went inside the restaurant and saw that there were already several people standing inside.
The first floor had already been cleared out, and several wooden tables and chairs had been set up for people to rest when they took turns.
Yu Yanbin asked them to sit down before explaining the situation to them.
"There are many residential buildings here, as well as a hospital, and some commercial areas and office buildings nearby. So, there are a lot of zombies here."
Pointing to the street outside billowing thick smoke, he said, "You can see it too. There are also too many zombies here, and they keep gathering here. We fight at night and rest during the day."
Zhang Kaisheng frowned as he listened to Yu Yanbin finish speaking, then asked, "You've always operated at night. May I ask how many days you've been here?"
I had already seen it on the way here; there were an unusually large number of zombies here.
These people are capable enough to be stationed here and kill zombies, so their strength is beyond doubt. It's just unknown how many days they've been here.
“We’ve been here for four days now, and today is the fourth day,” Yu Yanbin replied.
Everyone in the Mad Lion Squad stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
How did so many zombies end up here?
"You guys?" Zhang Kaisheng was somewhat surprised. Spending the night outside was extremely dangerous. The first and second battalions of the base had suffered heavy losses when they spent the night here before.
It's unbelievable how these people survived here for four days.
"We take turns, but our numbers are limited, so we can only rest during the day and work at night."
Yu Yanbin pointed to his companion beside him and shrugged.
It's fine to tell them; it's not something that can't be said. Judging by appearances, these people are also out killing zombies, otherwise they wouldn't be asking these questions or looking for a crowded place.
When looking for supplies, the fewer people the better; people won't go to crowded places.
Zhang Kaisheng understood that these people were struggling to kill zombies because there weren't enough people, so they could only work for half a day and then rest for the other half.
At first, he hesitated, unsure whether he should stay. But seeing that this group of people were all quite capable and had stayed for four days, he realized that this was something not everyone could do.
So he looked back at his team. His team had brought 11 people this time, making a total of 12 including himself, which was 3 more than the other team.
If nine people can stay here and kill zombies, why can't I?
The news has spread throughout the base that the crystals inside zombie brains have a significant effect, and it's even rumored to be related to upgrading superpowers.
Sure enough, many teams have come out to kill zombies.
Before long, there won't be enough zombies to kill.
Now everyone is running towards areas with lots of zombies, because there aren't enough to kill if there aren't many.
This place is quite nice; there's even a hospital here.
If there's a lot of zombies, hospitals are second to none.
Once Zhang Kaisheng had thought it through, he said to Yu Yanbin, "It's like this, we're also looking for a place to kill zombies. From what you've said, you don't have enough people, is that right?"
Yu Yanbin nodded, "Yes, we have a limited number of people and can't split into two shifts, so we can only fight for half a day."
Hearing this, Zhang Kaisheng laughed, "How about this, our team also wants to kill zombies, can we team up with you? We can split into two squads and look out for each other."
This is exactly what Yu Yanbin and his group want; they just need to see what kind of people these are.
It's not something you can tell in a short time, but it's still worthwhile to cooperate for now.
