In fact, Xia Yixin was able to wipe out the scavengers with thirty people because they took advantage of the scavengers' contempt.
Secondly, she has absolute control over ice magic and mental power, especially the latter. Although a fifth-level mental power cannot completely control a person's thoughts and actions over a large area in a short period of time, it can still affect a person's behavior and actions. For example, Guo Miaomiao and Xia Ru were examples of this, while the scavenger's reaction speed was affected by her.
Thirdly, the scavengers coming from the direction of K base attracted a large number of zombies, as the continuous noise from K base had already attracted a large number of zombies, including a fourth-level superpowered zombie.
As a result, the group of more than two hundred scavengers were attacked from both sides and were wiped out in less than half an hour.
Unexpectedly, during the retreat, Xia Yixin found Guo Miaomiao, who was tied up, and some other young women they had captured in a car.
Xia Yixin smiled and arranged for the subjugated fourth-tier superpowered zombie to safely return Guo Miaomiao to the entrance of K Base. Then, she led the other team members and the rescued hostages to the gas station to meet up with the others.
Of course, they also took the supplies that these scavengers were carrying, as they wandered around and didn't have any base camp.
As for the hundreds and thousands of human crystal cores, Xia Yixin blasted them into dust with ice. The unidentified flesh was also buried and disposed of. They only took the guns, ammunition, and two armored vehicles.
The only pity is that the two members of the three teams who sacrificed their lives resisted during the scavenging team's transport of them. They were killed and their bodies were left in the wilderness, and their remains are hard to find.
After learning the devastating news, one of the men's wives, though saddened, calmly accepted the reality. Fortunately, shortly after arriving at the new base, she discovered she was pregnant, which gave her renewed motivation.
The twenty search teams that left K base with Xia Yixin totaled over a hundred people. With their families, the total number of people exceeded three hundred. In addition, the three teams of members and their families that were found, as well as the kidnapped men, women, and children, expanded their entire force to a total of five hundred people. They had more than twenty vehicles with front and rear seats, and ten large trucks loaded with supplies, making it a large convoy.
Because of the large number of people, at dawn, the convoy stopped in a small lakeside villa area that had just been built but not yet put into use. They selected ten villas, pried open the locks, and placed thirty people in each villa. Most of them were arranged to live in the villas of people with superpowers and their relatives, while the rest were used to protect the other rescued people.
Xia Yixin also managed to drive away the nearby zombies under the cover of darkness by releasing her aura. After blocking the front and back gates of the residential area, she ordered, "Everyone rest for 12 hours. Let's start cooking and everyone can eat as much as they want."
12 hours of rest!?
This was a luxury for the search team that had escaped from K base, but after last night, they felt more than just respect for Xia Yixin; they wanted to believe in and admire her. If she said she could rest, then she definitely could!
Everyone was incredibly enthusiastic. They drove a truck into the back of the truck and took out some canned goods and other items they had brought from K Base. To their surprise, they found that there were also many canned fruits inside.
Xia Yixin could tell from the sight of the canned fruit that these were probably things that Xia Yixin had had taken from Xia Ru's private storage.
Five years into the apocalypse, canned fruit has long been a rare commodity with no market value.
However, the people in the group still consciously distributed the food to the younger children and women, while the others lit a campfire as was their custom and started cooking meat soup.
Xia Yixin was worried that they wouldn't have enough to eat, so she opened three or four bags of rice. Soon, the entire villa area was filled with the irresistible aroma of meat porridge.
While simmering, she naturally didn't forget to add some health-regulating pills along with the seasonings.
Although they overwhelmingly defeated the scavengers, there were also injured people, especially those who were rescued.
When Hong Meng woke up, he saw his daughter, and the father and daughter embraced and wept.
The sun was high in the sky.
One by one, apart from the first patrol team of ten, everyone else gradually drifted off to sleep. Although the rooms were just simple beds without sheets, and some even had to sleep on sofas or tables, they all found a brief moment of peace.
Those who left K Base felt like they were dreaming. They watched K Base prosper and grow stronger step by step, but also witnessed its collapse overnight. They were still somewhat confused about what the future held.
Following Xia Yixin was the only right choice they felt they should make.
Because Xia Yixin had become a zombie, she had no problem sleeping for long periods of time. After closing the door, she jumped out of the window.
The fourth-tier zombie she sent to deliver Guo Miaomiao has returned. Although the fourth-tier zombie has little intelligence and cannot speak, it can still describe what it encountered along the way.
Because they were busy dealing with the mess at K Base and had lost most of their combat strength, Bai Jingkong didn't send out any pursuit teams. They could head to T City with peace of mind for the time being.
Xia Yixin arranged for this fourth-tier zombie to lead a horde of zombies to block several main roads leading from K Base before returning to the lakeside villa area. No one knew she had left.
Because the convoy had a large number of people and vehicles, their travel speed was inevitably slow. They set off the next morning and did not arrive near T City until late at night.
Everyone was puzzled as to why they had ended up in T City, a city teeming with zombies, especially the surviving members of the third team.
After Hongfeng's injuries were treated and bandaged, she went to Xia Yixin's car while the car was parked to rest. She asked worriedly, "Captain Xia, there are so many zombies in T City. It would be too dangerous for us to go through there. Where exactly is our new base?"
Xia Yixin calmly said, "T City is our new base."
Hongfeng almost thought she was deaf. Seeing that Xia Yixin didn't seem to be joking, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Then, those zombies..."
Xia Yixin patted her shoulder and reassured her, "I am a dual-type user of ice and mental power. The abilities of mental power users are far more practical than you think."
For Hong Feng and others like her, who had never seen her enter a horde of zombies as if it were nothing, automatically scattering the zombies, when the convoy entered T City and saw the clean streets with not even a single wandering zombie on the road, some could hardly believe their eyes.
Have all the zombies in T City disappeared?
But soon they realized that wasn't the case. When the search team saw the zombies more than 500 meters away from them, seemingly blocked by an invisible wall, they all rubbed their eyes with amusement.
The search team members, who had already witnessed this at the gas station, felt a surge of pride; this ability would definitely make them invincible in the apocalypse.
The convoy passed through the outer ring road safely, but just then, Xia Yixin sensed something was wrong.
The two level-five zombies that were supposed to appear were missing, and the number of zombies in T City was obviously abnormal. At this moment, gunshots came from the other entrance of T City. She frowned and called for the convoy to stop.
