Shen Shi'an replaced Tao Yuan after dinner, and continued to drive northward.
The destination was decided at the team meeting last night. It is a small county located in the north of Province C, with a permanent population of less than 20,000. If it has not been cleared by the military, we can collect some supplies after the zombies are dealt with. Have a good night Rest overnight.
Shen Xun was sitting on the co-pilot, holding a huge thermos cup in his hand, and after the car drove for a while, he asked, "An'an, can I have a drink now?"
"No, it's not an hour yet."
"Oh." The child licked his mouth, tightened his two short arms and continued to hold the thermos bottle, rubbing back and forth on the seat like a thorn on his buttocks. After a few minutes, he asked again: "An'an, can I drink now?"
"No." Shen Shi'an watched the road ahead, and controlled the off-road vehicle to avoid the two walking corpses that rushed over from the side of the road.
The child babbled, looked away from the thermos cup, stared at the ivy leaves that Chen Nan spawned on the car window to block the sun for a while, and said again: "It's been an hour, An'an?"
"No."
"How long will it take?"
Shen Shi'an leaned forward and handed him the penguin alarm clock on the shelf of the dashboard: "I taught you how to tell the time, and you forgot?"
The child took the alarm clock and tried to identify it to no avail. After tossing it back and forth a few times, he secretly stuffed it under the seat. After a while, he asked again: "An'an, can I have a drink now?"
Xu Ge in the back seat couldn't help but burst out laughing. Shen Shi'an was helpless, and glanced at the child from the corner of his eye: "I can only drink one cup. It's not good to drink too much mung bean soup. The next cup will take another hour."
"Hey!"
The child laughed so hard that he could see his teeth and see his eyes. He shook the thermos cup up and down, left and right, then twisted off the lid and poured a full cup. He held it in his palm and drank it carefully. There was an extremely carefree "ha" sound on the back of the chair.
Liu Fangzhou held back his laughter, leaned over and whispered to Tao Yuan: "Those who don't know think he's drinking 82-year-old Lafite."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two rows of small fangs shining coldly in the rearview mirror, and quickly sat up straight: "You drink, you drink, drink as you want."
Xiong Manshan chased the off-road vehicle for most of the morning. He was so tired that he lay down on the carpet to sleep after eating a full meal. At this time, he was awakened by the sweet taste of mung bean soup. He stared at the cup lid in the child's hand and was a little greedy: " Brother Xun, how about mung bean soup? Oh, it smells really good, can I have a sip?"
Oh shit. Liu Fangzhou folded his hands on his chest and showed an expression of watching a movie: If you dare to think about looking for food for brother, you are afraid that you have never been beaten by society.
Thirty seconds later, Xiong Manshan was driven out of the car and ran behind the car. The road was terribly scalded by the scorching sun, and he jumped up subconsciously while running: "Brother, Brother Xun, I know I was wrong, give me another chance I'm going to behave well... ouch, I'm going, the **** can even melt the soles of my shoes!"
Tao Yuan glanced back: "Aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to run away?" After eating so much at noon, the crystal nucleus has not been paid yet, so running away at this time only earns but not pays.
"It's best to run away," Chen Nan said, "I think it's a loss for him to eat fifty crystal cores."
Liu Fangzhou said: "I don't think I can run away. Our food conditions are so good, only fools will leave."
Xiong Manshan was obviously not stupid. After chasing the car for half an hour, Shen Shi'an stopped the car and asked him to sit up again—not because he was considerate of him so that he would be tired, but because he was worried that he would eat more at night when his energy was exhausted.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, not long after Shen Xun finished his third cup of mung bean soup, the destination county was already in sight.
A group of seven people got out of the car outside the county seat as usual, collected information to investigate the enemy's situation, and formulated a battle plan based on the distribution of zombies.
There are not many zombies in the county, only more than 5,000, about one-third of which are mutant zombies. However, due to the relatively large area of the county seat and the scattered zombies, it might not be easy to gather them together with stereos and the like.
"Fight in groups," Shen Shi'an looked at the number of zombies marked on the map and analyzed for a moment, then divided the county into three parts with a pen: "We have a total of seven people, divided into three groups, and each group is responsible for an area. Gather at the door."
Shen Xun must be in a group with Shen Shi'an, the two of them have the strongest combat effectiveness, so they are in charge of the central area with the largest number of zombies;
Chen Nan and Tao Yuan are in a group. One of them can use the devil vine to attack zombies from a distance, and the other is good at melee combat. When necessary, they can also use guns for double-range cooperation. They are in charge of Xicheng District, which has more than a thousand zombies;
Xu Ge's furthest attack distance is about two meters, which is more than enough to deal with ordinary zombies, but it is still a bit dangerous if he encounters a siege of mutated zombies, so Liu Fangzhou can provide her with accurate zombie number and location information at any time, so that there is no need to attack at all. Worried about being attacked by zombies, and Xiong Manshan, a dual-line supernatural being, the three of them took charge of Dongcheng District together.
The seven people determined their groups, arranged their equipment and prepared to set off, only then did Shen Shi'an discover that Xiong Manshan had no weapons. "How did you fight zombies before?"
"Then it's usually just to tear it up with your hands," Xiong Manshan said, "or kick it with your feet."
Shen Shi'an was silent, and took out a stabbing stick from the space and handed it to him: "Try not to have direct physical contact with the zombies to prevent infection with the virus."
"Hey, it's mainly because I'm fast, and the zombies can't react at all."
Xiong Manshan took the stab stick and waved it twice, "Oh, this thing works, can you give me another one? No, I'm left-handed and can use both hands."
Shen Shi'an took another one for him, and after walking to the entrance of the county seat, he briefly repeated the precautions with everyone, and then they each galloped towards the area they were in charge of.
This county town is developed along the main road in the east-west direction. It is generally long and wide, wide from east to west and north to south. The area he and Shen Xun were in charge of belonged to the central business district in the county. Before the virus outbreak, the population density was the highest, and the number of zombies was also the largest, which was about half of the total number of zombies in the county.
The zombies in the high-rise buildings can't get down, so don't worry about it for the time being. Shen Shi'an and the two are mainly responsible for cleaning up the zombies wandering back and forth on the streets of the business district and in the shops on the first floor.
For him and Shen Xun, dealing with zombies has become a familiar matter. Ordinary zombies can't pose a threat to them at all. In addition, zombies will not actively attack Shen Xun, so the whole cleaning process will be smoother and unimpeded.
The two indented inwards in a circle, so that the department store was the end point, and they just gathered with other people after cleaning up.
However, Shen Shi'an estimated the duration of the battle based on the efficiency of the two. It is estimated that it will take some time for the others to reach the meeting point after they have dealt with all the zombies in the area they are in charge of.
After five laps, almost all the zombies in the central business district had been cleaned up. Shen Shi'an walked towards the department store and said to the child: "Let's clear the department store first, and then rest for ten minutes. If no one else comes after ten minutes, then go to help."
"Hey!" Shen Xun responded, carrying a knife and rushed to the crossroads to easily cut off the head of a mutant zombie, then shook his head back and forth, shook out the crystal nucleus, picked it up and handed it to Shen Shi'an: "An'an, here you are!"
After passing the crossroads, the department store was close at hand. Just as Shen Shi'an put the crystal core into the space, when he looked up, he found a row of people sitting on the steps at the entrance of the building.
Chen Nan, Tao Yuan, Xu Ge, Liu Fangzhou, and of course the reserve member Xiong Manshan waved enthusiastically after seeing Shen Shi'an: "Come on, brother!" Then turned to Shen Xun: "Come on, Brother Xun!"
Shen Shi'an pursed his lips, put the long sword into its sheath with his backhand, and led the child over there: "Have you finished cleaning up all the zombies over there?"
Liu Fangzhou couldn't bear it long ago, jumped up from the steps and ran towards Shen Shi'an: "It's all cleaned up! Almost all of them were solved by Brother Xiong! Brother Shen, you didn't see, Brother Xiong's speed is too scary. With two prods, I rushed up like a whack-a-mole and poked wildly. Before I realized what happened, the zombie was already lying on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, there was a standing zombie nearby. It's all gone!"
Xiong Manshan rubbed his head and laughed twice, his voice was like thunder: "I just play around casually, the main thing is that the weapon is easy to use."
Shen Shi'an turned to look at Chen Nan and Tao Yuan: "What about you?"
Tao Yuan said: "After Mr. Xiong finished cleaning up, he ran to our side to help clean up the rest."
Chen Nan nodded to confirm, and even looked at Xiong Manshan with a relaxed expression: In the last days, there is nothing more relaxing than a strong and reliable teammate. There are contradictions, there are contradictions, and he still has doubts about Xiong Manshan's character, but the combat effectiveness of the opponent is indeed extraordinary.
In other words, Xiong Manshan single-handedly killed almost half of the zombies in the county, and the speed was faster than Shen Shi'an and Gou Zijing.
Shen Shi'an took out a bottle of mineral water from the space and handed it to him: "Thank you."
Xiong Manshan took it, and slapped it back and forth a few times: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work, we are all brothers, and hard work is just a matter of lifting a finger. I just need to eat enough to strengthen my old nose. Huo Huo you have so many things at noon, you have to work hard to perform well."
Turning around, he picked up a plastic bag from the steps and handed it over, which was full of zombie crystal nuclei: "Well, today's food expenses are ninety in total, bro, count them."
Shen Shi'an looked calm: Although it is true that he eats a lot, it seems that this newly joined reserve member has shown the ability to match his appetite.
No loss no loss.
Put away the crystal nucleus, and go to the department store first: "Go in and see if there is anything you need, and try to collect everything here before dark." There should be a lot of supplies in such a big place.
Xiong Manshan suddenly stopped him, with a tangled expression, he hesitated to speak: "Hey, brother Shen, you may have to be mentally prepared."
Shen Shi'an stopped: "What are you going to do?"
"... There probably isn't anything to eat in here."
"How did you know?"
Xiong Manshan scratched the top of his head twice: "Didn't I tell you in the car today, but wherever I clean up zombies and find supplies, there is absolutely no food. When we first arrived, we rushed out of the building a few times. A zombie, I killed it."
Liu Fangzhou didn't believe it before, and now he doesn't believe it even more: "Brother, I think you may have misunderstood something. There was indeed no food in the county we met, but that was because the army had searched it carefully inside and out. , There are so many zombies here that obviously haven’t been searched, how can there be no food in such a big department store. Let’s go in, let’s go in and have a look, the shelves are guaranteed to be full.”
The door at the entrance is half-closed. Push the door open and walk in. Although the inside is a bit dark due to the sunlight coming in from the door and window, it does not affect the normal vision.
There were not many zombies on the first floor, and Xiong Manshan killed all those who rushed out, and the remaining ones could be counted on one hand. After finishing all the zombies, everyone closed the door and walked around boldly.
The first floor is divided into two areas. The part near the gate is mainly display cabinets for gold and silver jewelry and various electronic products, and further inside is the supermarket.
The six people walked to the end of the counter and stopped for a long time under the four big words "Supermarket Entrance". Chen Nan broke the silence first: "... Where is the supermarket?"
Looking forward from where they stood, a large area that should have been a supermarket was empty, as if someone had wiped it off with an eraser, not to mention food, even the shelves and containers were gone.
