Chapter 78 A Brain is a Good Thing
Meng Shiwan was speechless at their behavior. "Alright, let's go."
The men released her and got up from the ground.
Meng Shiwan walked to the window and manipulated the vines to climb up to the top floor, which is twelve stories high.
She first grabbed the vines and jumped out, then climbed upwards.
Knowing that going out was dangerous, Qiu Zhiyi backed down, saying, "I... I think I'll just not go."
They're going to fight the zombies to the death; he doesn't want to die.
Lei Zhe grabbed his arm, his smile gone, replaced by a grim expression.
"We're here to die to save you. You're our mission, you have to come with us."
After saying that, he pulled Qiu Zhiyi up the vines outside the window.
Anjiewen and Tao Yarong pushed him toward the window.
Qiu Zhiyi thought to himself, "Well, I can't escape this fate. I might as well go with them."
Clinging tightly to the vines, I glanced down. The mountain of zombies that had been piled up earlier had lost its target and was wandering aimlessly below.
The ten-story building was too high, and he immediately felt dizzy and lightheaded, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Qiu Zhiyi tilted his head back and focused on climbing up. When he reached the rooftop, his legs gave way and he sat down on the ground. Then he quickly jumped up and rubbed his buttocks, bouncing around like a monkey.
Tao Yarong had just come up and witnessed this scene, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with him?"
Anjawen jumped onto the rooftop, "and burned my butt sitting on the ground."
Tao Yarong: ...
The sun in the sky was scorching, and the air was so hot it was distorted, like a blazing inferno.
They were all drenched in sweat, their clothes completely soaked.
If they weren't superhumans with strong bodies, they would have suffered terribly from the heat after being out like that.
Only Meng Shiwan's clothes and hair remained clean and fresh.
Tao Yarong looked on with envy and quietly moved closer to Meng Shiwan, saying, "It's so great that you have ice-type superpowers, sister."
Qiu Zhiyi, who had just finished comforting his scalded and red bottom, was startled by these words. Forgetting the pain in his bottom, he immediately ignored them.
"What? She also has ice-type abilities? A three-series ability user!"
Lei Zhe sneered, "I'll scare you to death if I tell you, I'm a six-elemental ability user."
Qiu Zhiyi looked at him with a "Are you crazy?" look, clearly not believing him.
Are you kidding me? A six-elemental ability user? Are they even human?
Nobody would believe it if I told them.
Meng Shiwan, who was actually an eighth-level ability user, ignored their bickering and went straight to the stairwell.
The entrance from the stairwell to the rooftop is locked with iron railings, and people are not allowed to go up there under normal circumstances.
As a result, there were no zombies on the rooftop.
Inside the iron fence, several zombies, smelling the fresh blood and flesh outside, climbed the stairs and stretched out their gray hands through the iron fence, trying to grab Meng Shiwan.
Standing next to Meng Shiwan, Tao Yarong activated her supernatural power, sending several vines inside to strangle them one by one.
I can't help with big favors, but I can be observant with small favors.
Meng Shiwan's metallic arm slashed down, shattering the lock on the iron fence.
Qiu Zhiyi's eyes widened instantly, "Metal-type ability! Ice-type ability, a four-elemental ability user?!?"
Lei Zhe corrected him, "I already said, it's the sixth series, the sixth series, what's with the fourth?"
He understood Qiu Zhiyi's feelings all too well; they had all been shocked by Meng Shiwan step by step.
Qiu Zhiyi exclaimed in amazement, "There really are six-elemental ability users in this world! They're incredibly powerful... Hey? Powerful as they are, shouldn't we discuss how to coordinate our actions first? Are we just going to go down there and fight head-on like this?"
He panicked a little as he watched Meng Shiwan walk into the stairwell.
Anjiewen patted his shoulder, "With your sister supporting us, we don't need to panic. If even she can't hold on anymore, then we'll die, and that's fine. It won't be a tragedy."
Chiu Chih-yi: ...
The group activated their supernatural abilities and followed Meng Shiwan carefully down the path.
They could already hear the stiff, chaotic footsteps of zombies getting closer and closer from inside the building.
The sounds were varied and numerous.
Just as they were about to rush in and fight the horde of zombies, the door to the stairwell ahead slammed shut.
They locked the snarling, charging zombie inside the stairwell.
The zombie's fingernails scratched at the metal door, making a piercing, sharp sound.
Four people are ready for battle: ? ? ?
Tao Yarong asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to kill them?"
Meng Shiwan turned to look at the four dumbfounded people and sighed heavily, "I've told you, a brain is a good thing."
Four people: ? ? ?
Meng Shiwan asked in a tone as if she were asking her own silly child what they had learned at school.
"What have you learned since joining the rescue team?"
Tao Yarong recited the list with great familiarity, "Learning how to use superpowers, learning how to coordinate between superpowers, learning how to utilize the environment during combat..."
At this point, she understood what Meng Shiwan wanted to ask.
Looking around, she wondered, "Sis, there's only one staircase, and not much of the surrounding environment that would be useful for combat..."
As they were talking, she saw Meng Shiwan take out a chainsaw from her spatial storage and place it on the door, about 1.6 meters high.
Activating the metal-based supernatural power, the metal on the door flowed, wrapping around and securing the chainsaw handle to it, making it extremely secure.
Under the watchful eyes of the three, another one was taken out and fixed at a position one meter away.
Start the chainsaw and pull the door open a gap large enough for one person to pass through. Then, manipulate the metal clips on the side of the door to lock it in place and prevent it from wobbling.
A small trap was set up.
Meng Shiwan had used this trap before in the supermarket; it was simple, convenient, and very effective.
Zombies have no brains; they just rush forward when they see people or hear noises.
Combined with the forward thrust of the zombies behind, the high-speed chainsaw easily chopped the zombies in half, causing them to collapse limply to the ground.
Only when the zombie's flesh and blood were thrown at them did the four of them hurriedly retreat to avoid it.
Looking at the small trap that automatically kills zombies, Lei Zhe exclaimed, "Sister is right, a brain is a good thing."
Anjiewen remained silent. "When we came here, we were only thinking about fighting desperately. Why didn't we think about taking shortcuts?"
Qiu Zhiyi's eyes widened in shock, "Spatial ability! It even has the rare spatial ability, it's truly a six-element ability!!"
Just as they said, it was terrifyingly strong.
There really are people with six different superpowers.
He rarely made such a concerted effort to utilize social skills, and said to the group...
"You don't need to feel inferior. The trap is simple and easy to use, but you need spatial abilities to move the chainsaw. Otherwise, no matter how simple it is, you won't be able to make a chainsaw. I understand."
All three of them glanced at him.
I suddenly realized that this kid is actually quite good at comforting people.
Even the resentment that arose from saving him dissipated somewhat.
Tao Yarong called out to everyone, "Come on, come on, I'll be in charge of making the traps. We should also do our part and take the lead in clearing out the zombies in the stairwell. Once the door is closed, I can have some peace of mind."
Having escaped death once again, without having to fight zombies, the group was filled with great emotion and charged ahead to clear the way.
Even Qiu Zhiyi became fearless and followed behind the group, smashing zombies over their heads whenever they encountered them.
Tao Yarong and Lei Zhe rushed to the front.
An Jiewen's earth-based ability and Qiu Zhiyi's water-based ability are relatively limited in this environment, and those following behind can only rely on brute force.
Meng Shiwan pulled off the handrail next to her and handed them a mace that had fused into two small heads. She smashed one skull with each blow, and it was very easy to use.
The four of them easily cleared out the few zombies in the stairwell and made their way down.
Meng Shiwan followed behind, installing chainsaws to make small traps on the doors of each floor's stairwell.
As they rushed to the first floor, the pressure on them increased significantly.
The first floor connects to the parking lot, and zombies keep pouring in, even crowding the stairwell.
The four men stood at the corner of the stairs, killing one group after another, but they couldn't force them out of the stairwell at all.
They had no choice but to ask for help.
"Sis, we're counting on you for this."
After Meng Shiwan finished setting up the small trap on the second floor, she saw four people standing at the corner, facing off against the endless stream of zombies.
She crouched down, placed her palms on the ground, and her supernatural powers surged forth.
The ground at the several entrances on the first floor rapidly surged, forming earthen walls that completely blocked the way, preventing the zombies from entering.
Meng Shiwan stood up and said, "Don't set traps on the first floor. Clear out the zombies and collect medicines from the pharmacy."
"Okay, sis."
The group had been mentally prepared to fight tooth and nail since last night, and now it was finally time to start.
They all became ruthless, killing zombies with even greater brutality.
Meng Shiwan activated her lightning-based superpower. With each dense strike of lightning, a large number of zombies were reduced to charred remains, lying on the ground, unable to rise.
After a few uses, the densely packed zombies in the lobby on the first floor fell down in droves, and the number of zombies was drastically reduced.
Meng Shiwan activated her superpower, and each time she could kill hundreds of zombies.
The entire hall was packed, with at most a thousand animals, but Meng Shiwan quickly finished off most of them.
The four men, fighting desperately: ...
They looked at the scattered zombies and charred corpses scattered on the floor in the hall, and then at Meng Shiwan walking towards the pharmacy. Their expressions were complicated.
With my sister around, they don't need to risk their lives.
Qiu Zhiyi murmured, "I understand. This is what you mean by the exhilarating feeling of being carried by a big shot. It really is exhilarating."
The four rushed into the first floor, dealing with the scattered zombies while rushing into each room to see if there were any important supplies that needed to be moved.
Meng Shiwan went into the pharmacy and took out another vine seed.
Driven by supernatural abilities, the vines that grew nimbly climbed up the shelves.
Wherever the vines touched, all the medicines were stored in the space.
The shelves in front display general medicines for sale, and there are two rooms in the back.
One is a warehouse.
The other is a cold storage room, which stores various medicines, antidotes, vaccines, infusion bottles, and other medications that require refrigeration.
Meng Shiwan took them all into her spatial storage without letting any of them escape.
"Sis, there's a lab here. They have all sorts of equipment for blood, urine, and stool tests, and fungal testing. Do you want to move it?"
Tao Yarong's voice rang out from outside.
After finishing packing up the pharmacy, Meng Shiwan went outside and took a look at the various instruments in the laboratory.
She didn't understand any of this; she just took everything with her.
The vines spread out gracefully, and in the blink of an eye, all the instruments in the laboratory disappeared, leaving it empty.
They wandered around the first floor, but found no other special medical equipment and no survivors.
Lei Zhe asked, "Sis, shall we go clean the second floor?"
His eyes were bright, devoid of the previous despair and fear, filled only with excitement.
Just kidding, with their older sister leading the way, what are they afraid of?
Meng Shiwan glanced at the zombies lying on the ground, "After collecting the crystal cores, go to the second floor."
Meng Shiwan never forgets the important task of collecting crystal cores.
