At this moment, only one person on the battlefield remained conscious due to Huang Zhao's distracting mental attacks.
He was the only Level 2 ability user among them, Commander Li.
Commander Li, facing the approaching King Kong, suppressed the excruciating pain in his head and asked with difficulty:
"Who...are you people...?"
"You attacked me without any evidence, this is just a minor punishment to serve as a warning."
Huang Zhao spoke in a flat tone, without answering his question.
"Sorry, that was because..."
Before Commander Li could finish speaking, Huang Zhao interrupted him.
"I have no interest in listening. After this, we're even, we'll go our separate ways, and leave each other alone."
Qin Yi, however, felt a pang of pity and reminded Commander Li:
"Sir, we came from the city."
There's a zombie riot inside right now, I suggest you don't go in.
He looked at Alice at the same time, and although he didn't say anything, he clearly hoped that she could treat him.
Alice looked at Huang Zhao and saw that he didn't seem to intend to stop her.
He gathered white light in his hand, enveloping Commander Li and the others not far ahead.
With Alice's current strength as a level three ability user, she can project her ability to a distance of about thirty meters in front of her.
Under her treatment, Commander Li felt the pain in his head quickly subside.
The pain subsided quickly, though I was still somewhat dazed.
Thank you...
After doing all this, Huang Zhao planned to let Jin Gang continue his journey and leave.
"Young man, wait a minute. We are on our way to Chiayi City to rescue a leader."
Could you please do me a favor?
Having witnessed the strength of Huang Zhao and others, Commander Li hurriedly stepped in front of Jin Gang.
Looking at Qin Yi on Jin Gang's shoulder, he made a request.
From Qin Yi's actions just now, he could tell that Qin Yi was probably quite close to soldiers.
Upon hearing Commander Li's request, Qin Yi did not answer, but instead looked at Huang Zhao.
"No time! Get out of the way!"
Even without the previous conflict, Huang Zhao wouldn't have spent time helping them go into the city to rescue people.
Therefore, he refused his request without hesitation.
"Then could you please treat my other companions?"
"It was our fault for firing at you just now, and I apologize!"
As he spoke, Commander Li took off his hat, bowed deeply to Huang Zhao, and apologized.
Huang Zhao stroked his chin and agreed.
Considering that they didn't cause any real loss to me, and that I had already taught them a lesson, I decided to let it go.
"Alright."
Huang Zhao said to Alice in the mental connection:
"Alice, my little angel~ Please help them heal~"
"Yes, sir!"
Alice jumped off King Kong's shoulders with a hint of excitement, as she rarely had the chance to help.
Qin Yi also jumped down and followed her to protect her, preventing any accidents.
Commander Li took the opportunity to walk up to Qin Yi and try to find out some information.
Without Huang Zhao's consent, Qin Yi didn't say much, only responding politely.
Before long, Alice had finished treating all the other soldiers who had been injured by Huang Zhao's mental attack.
Goodbye~
As she left, Alice happily waved goodbye to Commander Li and the others.
"King Kong, let's continue!"
"Roar! Charge!!!"
........
"Commander, who are they?"
The group of people swayed as they got up, clutching their heads, and asked Commander Li, who was standing ramrod straight.
"I didn't get anything out of them. This apocalypse is becoming more and more unfamiliar!"
Commander Li sighed as he watched Jin Gang leave.
"Everyone, rest and recover. We're about to head into the city!"
Commander Li recalled Qin Yi's words: In the post-apocalyptic world, personal strength is the foundation of everything.
He now deeply understands the meaning of that statement.
If he had the strength, he could move freely through a million-strong zombie horde, just like Huang Zhao and his group.
If he had the power, he wouldn't need to risk his brothers to carry out the politicians' unreasonable requests.
Unfortunately, his strength is far from sufficient.
Holding the level-three energy crystal that Qin Yi had handed him before leaving, Commander Li had some thoughts in his mind.
......
On the other side, Huang Zhao, who was starting anew, was communicating with Qin Yi.
"Brother Yi, don't you think I'm being heartless?"
"There's nothing wrong with what the city lord is doing. I won't offend others unless they offend me."
Making mistakes comes at a price; that's the law of the post-apocalyptic world.
I understand that your agreement to treatment was also to take care of my feelings.
"I didn't think too much about it, I just followed my heart!"
What Huang Zhao was most satisfied with about Qin Yi was that he was clear-headed and reasonable, and didn't take Huang Zhao's kindness for granted.
"Alright, cheer up, the road ahead just passes between two suburbs."
There might be a lot of zombies roaming around, so be careful!
Putting what had just happened behind him, Huang Zhao gave instructions to everyone.
They had been out for almost an hour and a half, and had just passed through Chiayi City, so their speed had slowed down.
Continuing forward leads to Tongshi and Haishi, two small cities with populations barely exceeding one million before the apocalypse.
Located adjacent to the two major cities of Shanghai and Hangzhou, it has excellent development potential.
However, the urban population is concentrated in the developed areas of the city, while the suburbs where highways are located are not densely populated.
The highway is congested with vehicles, and there are only a few zombies.
And the survivors resting nearby that Huang Zhao could occasionally spot in his mental perception area.
This scenery forms the unchanging landscape along Huang Zhao's journey.
......
Just as Huang Zhao had predicted, the journey continued for over fifty kilometers without any slowdown in Jin Gang's speed.
We crossed the boundary between the two cities and arrived in Hangzhou.
"In Hangzhou, a city with a population of over ten million before the apocalypse, the number of zombies was not as high as in Shanghai."
But it probably won't be any easier than going through Chiayi City.
Ning Chuxia looked at Huang Zhao nervously, worried that he would rush inside again.
"rush!"
Alice, ever eager to stir up trouble, shouted from the sidelines.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the route we took is still quite far from the center of Hangzhou."
After crossing the bridge over the Qiantang River, we'll head directly to Zhushi.
Huang Zhao re-examined the route and guided Jin Gang to adjust his direction.
"It seems that the Qiantang River tide is currently in its accumulation phase. If it were about a month later, we would be able to see the high tide."
"It's alright, we can come back on that day, it's not far."
"Wow, we'll be able to enjoy the Qiantang River tidal bore all to ourselves!"
"Enjoy it all alone? You might be watching it with a million zombies!"
They chatted happily, without any sense of tension about the post-apocalyptic world.
Even a million zombies could be easily passed through; this is the confidence that comes with strength.
Ahead lies the Xiasha Bridge, one of the ten bridges spanning the Qiantang River. It is 8 kilometers long and 34.2 meters wide.
It was once the longest and largest span bridge across the Qiantang River.
