The training ground in the western district of Dawn City is already overcrowded.
After absorbing the high-level energy crystals obtained from the crystal exchange point, they formed teams and left the city.
With the unrestricted distribution of high-level energy crystals, the proportion of Level 3 ability users in Dawn City reached about 15% in just one day.
Every hunting team that goes out is protected by at least one Level 3 member with extensive experience in hunting zombies.
For a long time to come, everyone had only one task: kill zombies!
Although many people were reluctant to leave the city and looked distressed, they dared not disobey orders and left the city under the captain's leadership.
However, the fact that the energy absorption capacity of high-grade crystals has greatly increased is some consolation.
Reconnaissance teams retrieved drones from the warehouse and headed to the reconnaissance points planned by the AI to provide aerial intelligence support for the hunting squads carrying out their missions.
When Huang Zhao arrived at the training ground, there were 75 earth-type ability users chatting in twos and threes.
A day later, two more members who had awakened earth-type abilities joined the digging team.
They have absorbed today's energy crystals and know their task for the day:
Follow the city lord deep into the horde of millions of zombies in the Demon City to dig a pit!
This was an extremely reckless move, but Huang Zhao's formidable strength gave them a blind confidence that he could protect their safety.
From the direction of the shelter, a massive figure rushed toward the training ground; it was King Kong, who had been notified by Huang Zhao and was on his way.
"Get ready and set off. Don't hold back your superpowers. Just dig the holes. You don't need to worry about anything else."
In addition to the earth-type ability users in the digging team, there were also two hundred elite hunting team members accompanying them on the journey.
With King Kong leading the way, a long convoy of cars headed towards the center of Shanghai.
Centered on Dawn City, one can see plumes of smoke rising from afar.
Those were the incineration pits located in the four directions of Dawn City that had begun to be used, and were starting to massacre zombies.
After leaving the area within ten kilometers of Dawn City, Huang Zhao's convoy was soon attacked by a large number of zombies.
With King Kong in front, he easily shoved the zombies to the sides, without affecting the convoy's progress.
The group of nearly three hundred people soon arrived at the first marked digging point.
Accompanying them were nearly ten thousand zombies!
The convoy stopped, and the elite hunting team members, clad in armor, disembarked and spread out to intercept the zombies.
"Hehe, I've been wanting to storm into Shanghai and fight my way in and out seven times for a long time."
"Do you think you're Guan Yu? Fighting your way in and out seven times? How about we ask the city lord to release a couple of high-level zombies for you to spar with?"
"Well, I was just saying, but these level zero zombies are really no match for them."
“...”
Surrounded by a sea of corpses, every member of the hunting team was on edge.
If it weren't for Huang Zhao and Jin Gang, they wouldn't have dared to enter an area that hadn't been cleared of zombies.
Level 3 ability users are indeed very strong at this time, capable of fighting against a hundred people, but they also need room to maneuver.
If you're surrounded and have no choice but to fight, getting scratched by a zombie could be fatal.
Moreover, there are more than just level zero zombies among the zombies.
They witnessed firsthand several zombies, clearly at least level three, rampaging through the horde.
These high-level zombies are difficult to deal with, and they can easily get injured if they are not careful.
But before the zombies could get close, they were already struck by Huang Zhao's mental attack and fell into the vast sea of corpses.
More than two hundred level-three ability users of various types spread out and blocked the zombies in the alleys.
Even if any zombies manage to slip through and enter the encirclement, they will be killed by Huang Zhao's mental attack.
Soon an area was cleared out for the digging team to start working.
The 75 earth-elemental ability users of the digging team spread out and surrounded the city, using their earth-elemental abilities to manipulate the land in front of them.
Some turned the land into swamps, some turned the ground into sand and gravel, and some even helped to reinforce the ground.
"Holy crap! I don't want it to turn into a swamp! This is terrible!"
"Who used spikes? Are you trying to increase my workload?"
"Spread your powers out to control the land in front of you, don't just leave it there and forget about it!"
“...”
The higher the level, the fewer mistakes are made, and the more accurately one can control the supernatural power within the body.
Under the guidance of his seniors, he gradually transformed the effect of his superpower into a force that caused the ground to sink.
Although many people still make mistakes, more people have found the trick.
The ground began to sink at a visible speed, forming a step that quickly created a 100*100 meter square area.
But that's not enough. The pit needs to be three meters deep, and the walls and ground need to be reinforced.
Because it was my first time doing this kind of operation, I wasn't very skilled yet. It took more than an hour to completely finish making the first hole.
Almost all earth-type ability users were exhausted, their abilities completely depleted.
This is equivalent to moving 30,000 cubic meters of soil!
Before the apocalypse, such a workload would have required at least a dozen dump trucks to continuously transport the materials back and forth, and would have taken a week to complete, along with a large amount of heavy construction equipment.
However, with nearly a hundred earth-type ability users using their abilities, it was completed in just over an hour.
This is based on an average ability level of two. If everyone breaks through to level three, the speed will increase significantly.
If you are a level four earth-type ability user, you can complete it in a few minutes.
Huang Zhao was very satisfied with the construction results and called the superhumans who were resting back to the bus.
They still need to dig hundreds more of these huge pits in Shanghai.
"Get in the car, we're going to the next location."
The members of the digging team returned to the bus in an orderly manner.
The hunters, scattered around to resist the approaching zombies, also effortlessly dealt with the zombies in front of them and returned them to the dump truck.
It is expected that everyone will be out and about all day, so their main objective is to stop the zombies rather than to kill them effectively and conserve their energy.
A dark shadow streaked across the sky; it was Daqiang, who had rushed back from Shaoguan City.
Provide Huang Zhao with air support and early warning of a possible large zombie horde.
After all, Huang Zhao's mental perception is only two kilometers away. If zombies gather and approach from a distance, he may not have enough time to react.
Soon, only a large crater remained at the scene, and the group returned to the convoy and set off again.
Many zombies fall into it as they pass by and are unable to escape.
After being compacted by soil-based energy, its hardness is almost indistinguishable from that of a cement floor.
Soon, reinforcements from Dawn City will arrive to begin the burning operation.
Huang Zhao led his team deep into the horde of corpses, with the burning pools spreading out in a spiral pattern from Dawn City as the center.
Even if the final plan cannot perfectly kill all the zombies, it can still maximize the expansion of Dawn City's sphere of influence.
Once the zombies are cleared out, all the supplies in this area will naturally belong to Dawn City.
