Chapter 107 Team Formation and Allocation
"Starting today, we will save the world; we are teammates who will depend on each other for life and death."
Xiang Xin was the first to start.
From the moment she decided to help Lin Xi, they became teammates.
Later, a lawyer named Lu came to visit her in the detention center. After being rescued and transferred from the detention center, and knowing that Lu Wei was a reborn person like Lin Xi, Xiang Xin's temporary team became three people.
As for Liang Hui... his combat skills aren't as high as Lin Xi's or Lu Wei's, and he's kind of funny, but considering his willingness to go to the base to share life and death with us, let's expand the team again.
One person's strength is too small; saving the world requires stable teammates, or even a large group.
Everyone understands this.
Xiang Xin, brimming with fighting spirit: "Now let us pay our highest respects to our teammates. Salute!!!"
However, the seemingly stable teammates each had their own agendas during the alliance ceremony.
Liang Hui: Didn't I come here to find Brother Lu to survive together? How did I end up saving the world?
Lu Wei: First, plan the route back to home in Area A to replenish supplies.
Lin Xi: I agree to the alliance, but if you're going to salute, don't drag me into it, it'll make me feel awkward...
Having a team certainly gives you more confidence than going it alone.
A signal flare rose in the distance, leaving a green trail of smoke in the sky.
Lin Xi put her watch from the bag of items Yang Yicheng had returned onto her suspended left wrist and immediately saw the latest message from the relevant department:
"The distribution of supplies to Xinyuan Community South District, Xinyuan Community North District, and Xingfu Jiayuan in Area A is about to end. Please return home as soon as possible to take shelter. A green signal flare will light up every 5 minutes. The temporary safe zone will be deactivated when the fifth flare lights up."
Lu Wei: "The first signal has been activated, and we have 20 minutes to evacuate. This place is only 7 kilometers away from my home. Let's go to my home to rest first and then make further plans."
No one else objected.
The current situation in Nanhua is still unknown, so it's impossible for them to just form a group and break out of Nanhua like this.
The place we are in now is just a temporarily cleared safe zone, not suitable for staying for long.
Of all of them, Lu Wei's house was the closest, making it the most suitable temporary place to stay.
Lin Xi guessed that the Lu family must have made preparations for the apocalypse in advance.
"But we don't have a car, how are we going to get across the 7 kilometers?"
Lin Xi observed from the risk area markers shared by relevant departments on the map that areas A, B, and C were all marked in red as high-risk areas.
Without a car to shield them, they would be exposed to the zombies.
Lin Xi took a deep breath: she had finally come to this point, and she had to fight for survival amidst the zombie onslaught.
She spread out her suitcase on the spot and gave the compressed biscuits and glucose water to the others to replenish their energy.
The meal was spilled, and everyone is hungry and exhausted.
There were three windbreakers in the suitcase, including Lin Xi's confiscated personal belongings. Although they were thin, their special material could block the scratches of zombies.
But now there are four people.
Lu Wei spoke first: "I don't need it."
Xiang Xin looked somewhat embarrassed.
Liang Hui beamed with joy: "Good, good, I knew Brother Lu would take care of me."
The clothes belong to Lin Xi; two out of the three items must belong to both Lin Xi and Xiang Xin.
Lu Wei's statement means that he had given up on the protective suit in advance.
Liang Hui had just finished expressing his gratitude when he felt uncomfortable from the ill-fitting clothes.
Only then did she realize that Lin Xi's clothes were women's clothing that suited her.
He was about 10 centimeters taller than Lin Xi and had a wider build, so the clothes looked strange and uncomfortable on him.
He suddenly understood why Lu Wei had given up on the clothes in advance.
Good, good, good. As expected of Brother Lu, he has foresight.
A third plume of green smoke streaked across the sky; time was running out.
Lin Xi divided the weapons in the box into several parts—
The murder weapon she used at Hongwen's place was taken to the research lab to test for viruses; there was only a pair of spare daggers in the box.
However, Lin Xin could only use his right hand, so he gave the other dagger to Liang Hui and the baseball bat, which was easier to use, to Xiang Xin.
The suitcase was simply abandoned on the street corner, and Lu Wei took over the small drone and tablet that had nowhere else to go.
Liang Hui couldn't help but ask, "How did you prepare so thoroughly?"
Xiang Xin: "My sister Xi is a reborn person! Knowing that a zombie outbreak is coming, why isn't she making any preparations?"
Xiang Xin knew, of course, that Lu Wei wasn't using the drones as weapons, but she felt uneasy about the resources not being distributed equally while she herself was the beneficiary. She looked at Lu Wei with some difficulty.
Before Lu Wei could speak, Lin Xi explained, "It's okay, he's really good at fighting zombies with his bare hands."
After saying that, she quickly packed the items she could carry from her suitcase into her own bag, and stuffed the rest into Xiang Xin's itabag.
Xiang Xin clenched her fist as she watched the plush toy in the ita bag get squashed, but held back from saying anything. Instead, she casually remarked, "Although I've seen Lu Wei fight zombies, why are you emphasizing unarmed combat?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Weiwei turned her head slightly.
Lin Xi didn't answer, but silently put more tampons into her bag, squeezing the doll into a pancake shape.
Lin Xi patted the flat, doll-shaped bag and urged, "Five more minutes, let's go."
As Lin Xi ran, she glanced at the electronic map showing the next safe zone: "In the opposite direction from your house."
This means that we can no longer use the safe zone to get to Lu Wei's house.
Xiang Xin rubbed his hands together, eager to fight his way through: "Then let's break through! Fight our way out!"
Lu Wei: "Modern car anti-theft systems are very good; you can't drive a car away without a key."
The cars that could be seen nearby either belonged to owners who were hiding at home or had become zombies.
Finding the car keys is simply not an option.
Lin Xi has been working on his physical fitness for the past few years, and he can run 7 kilometers in no time, but he is not fast. Moreover, Xiang Xin's endurance is unknown. If they encounter a few zombies, they can avoid them or deal with them before running away. However, if they make a noise and attract a large number of zombies, even if the four of them are all quite strong, it will be difficult for them to escape from the zombie horde.
But Lu Wei's meaning is...
Lin Xi: "So we really have to run there?"
Lu did not nod.
Lin Xi asked helplessly, "What mode of transportation do you usually use?"
The fifth plume of green smoke rising into the sky signifies the official end of the safe zone, and the zombies will slowly gather around.
Danger is imminent.
The group chatted as they ran, and Liang Hui muttered in dissatisfaction, "Can't we talk about these things when we get to Brother Lu's house?"
Xiang Xin: "The subway."
Lu Wei answered seriously: "Subway, car."
These are all vehicles that are impossible to use.
Lin Xi suddenly had a brilliant idea: "I have a plan! You all stop now."
