Whether it was Yan Yongfeng's eyesight, Tu Zishi's predictive ability or Tan Yan's vision, they were all far ahead of the zombies. When the superpower team discussed countermeasures, the zombies were still some distance away from them.
"It's dark now. I suggest that Tan Yan take action in the dark so that these people can't see us." Liang Xian whispered.
Tan Yan had to go out alone to deal with tens of thousands of zombies, so he had to use his supernatural powers. Rather than waiting for the zombies to arrive and using his supernatural powers in the panic of the crowd, making them dependent, it would be better to attack at night so that people would not know what was happening.
With Tan Yan dealing with the zombies first, those who come to the supermarket are just the ones who have escaped the net. Even if there are only a group of ordinary people here, they can join hands to deal with them, not to mention the people from the superpower team.
Tan Yan first captured the leader of the pack, and by catching that high-level zombie, he could lead the zombie group away. In this way, after daybreak, they only needed to deal with a few individual zombies, and could go out to find transportation and recharge.
All of this is based on Tan Yan's extraordinary strength. If Tan Yan is unable to deal with high-level zombies...
This option does not even exist in everyone's mind, but Tan Yan can definitely do it.
Liang Xian explained: "Dependence may make it easier for us to manage these 1,000 people, but it will also make people lazy and put all the responsibilities on us. I will try my best to help them overcome all difficulties and bring them home, but I don't want to drag more than 1,000 termites back with me. We are the people's soldiers, destined to protect ordinary people with our flesh and blood, but we cannot be taken unconditionally."
As he spoke, he looked at Tan Yan intently, seeming very nervous. Liang Xian knew that his behavior today was a little out of line, and he didn't know if such behavior would disgust Tan Yan.
"I know, you don't need to explain." Tan Yan smiled faintly, "Once so many people start to make trouble, we can't protect them with just a few people. Your approach is the most correct. Although the means are a bit violent, everyone has picked up weapons, and no one is inciting the crowd, right?"
"Yeah." Liang Xian blushed and nodded.
Ah San was a little anxious: "It's already this late, the zombies are surrounding the city, and you're still doing ideological education here?"
Liang Xian glared at him, and while the zombies were still slowly surrounding them, he pulled Tan Yan and quickly instructed him: "Remember, you are not omnipotent. Your mission is to capture the high-level zombies that control the zombie group. You don't need to fight to the death with the zombie group. Protecting yourself is the most important thing. You can't be hurt by the zombies.
You are not fighting alone, we are here with you. We will take care of the zombies you missed!"
"I know, I will." Although the current environment is so bad, Tan Yan's eyes are curved with joy when he sees Liang Xian's outstanding performance in desperate situations.
It’s a pity that I can’t praise Liang Xian as much as I want, otherwise the child will “hold out hope” again.
How could she fall in love with an old man like him? Tan Yan felt very complicated. Liang Xianming clearly had a brighter future.
After discussing the plan, Tan Yan walked out alone, while Liang Xian and others stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, alert for any zombies that had escaped.
"Why... did he go out alone?" A girl asked worriedly, using the subway lights to see Tan Yan, who was about her age, walking out alone.
Liang Xian: "Fight the front line for us."
"But he is alone..." the enthusiastic lady in the crowd said with concern, "He is so small, just a child. Didn't you say there are a lot of monsters outside? He is alone... There are so many of us, we can't just rely on one kid to protect us! Auntie also took a steel pipe and was able to protect herself. Auntie is awesome!"
When Liang Xian and other members of the superpower team heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
The people they want to save are these lovely and respectable people!
"It's okay," Liang Xian smiled, "He is well-equipped with the best weapons."
Just as he finished speaking, there were a few loud "boom" noises outside. With the help of the flames rising into the sky, everyone saw a bunch of zombies flying into the sky through the wall of the supermarket which had a big hole in it.
No, not just the zombies, but also a small building next to it, all flew away.
Everyone: “…”
No, no, no, the weapons they know are not so powerful!
A military enthusiast was surprised and asked, "Did you bring all the rocket tubes? How much gunpowder would be needed to create such a powerful explosion! His backpack just now... wasn't that big!"
"Well," Liang Xian said calmly, "So, his weapons and equipment are good, and they are all specially made."
Tan Yan is a man who has been traversing the apocalypse alone for forty years without any weapons. With his ability to enhance his attributes and enough weapons, his lethality is no longer the same as the Tan Yan of the past!
Qiao Zhixue once conducted a test on Tan Yan to test how powerful ordinary weapons could be with the help of his special abilities.
An ordinary sniper rifle has a range of about 500-700 meters. If it is farther away, although it can hit the target, the power will be greatly weakened. However, if this rifle is in Tan Yan's hands, as long as he has enough eyesight, he can accurately shoot through a human model wearing ten layers of bulletproof vests at a distance of five kilometers.
"Tan Yan can increase the power of weapons by at least 5-10 times," Qiao Zhixue analyzed. "If we take the actual situation into consideration, this increase may increase. The most typical example is the Mosasaur. Even if there are ten people holding AWMs, each with a cannon, even if they all hit the same position, can they kill the Mosasaur? Obviously, it is impossible. But Tan Yan can do it. He can penetrate the brain of the Mosasaur with a cannon. Although the penetration power may only increase tenfold, the effect is actually difficult to predict."
In other words, if Tan Yan carried ten hand grenades, a shotgun magazine, and hundreds of bullets, it would be equivalent to carrying a mobile arsenal.
Of course, this kind of increase is definitely limited and cannot be applied to all weapons. For example, the power of nuclear weapons is very strong. Even if Tan Yan explodes with nuclear weapons, it is impossible to increase its damage too much, because the power of this weapon exceeds the control range of Tan Yan's consciousness, and his power cannot play a big role.
Of course, it is impossible for Tan Yan to carry such a powerful weapon with him, even if he could carry it on his back.
And now, Tan Yan has entered the zombie group...
Come to think of it, we should sympathize with the zombies. Tan Yan is a man who can use his protective shield to withstand 1670km/h, that is nuclear/explosion wind pressure!
Just a few mutated zombies, no problem at all.
The only trouble is that there are too many zombies and Tan Yan cannot kill them all, so he needs a team of special abilities.
Not long after the explosion, several zombies with broken arms and legs came in crookedly. The crowd screamed, and Liang Xian scratched his ears and said, "Shut up."
His way of establishing authority was very effective. With just a slight command, no one dared to shout.
Liang Xian turned around with an angry look on his face and said, "Look at this zombie. He is so pitiful. Let me count. 1, 2, 3... Including those who haven't come in yet, there are 27 in total. They are all disabled zombies. We have more than a thousand people with healthy arms and legs. Don't you feel ashamed to yell at these zombies?"
He tried to speak in a relaxed manner, and when people heard it, they agreed. That's right, zombies are like this, so what's there to be afraid of
These aren't zombies at all, they're just the remnants of a defeated army that barely managed to save their lives from Tan Yan. Looking at their movements, they're all frame by frame, what's so scary about that
"The first one is crawling over here soon, who dares to take action?" Liang Xian called out.
"I'll do it!" The aunt who had said she would protect the young man stood up bravely and, under Liang Xian's command, smashed the zombie's head with a steel pipe.
After beating him, she put her hands on his waist and taught the young man behind her: "You young people nowadays are really hopeless. The boys' arms and legs are as thin as bamboo poles, and they eat so little at a meal. I have long been fed up with it. I used to be a pig butcher in my family, so I am not afraid of blood!"
Liang Xian smiled and said, "Auntie, you are the bravest and most powerful person here!"
With this old lady standing up, people gradually became more courageous.
When facing zombies, the most terrifying thing is not their fighting ability or their ability to spread the virus, but the fear in people's hearts.
As long as it is not a strange type of zombie, at least you can escape from ordinary zombies.
More and more zombies are walking into the supermarket, but no one is afraid anymore.
Gradually, everyone who had the ability to fight took up arms. Even if they couldn't kill the zombies, at least they could face them bravely.
This is the effect of Liang Xianyao.
Of course, he couldn't expect ordinary people in the peaceful world to really stand up and kill zombies, but he had to give them courage. In a while, everyone would ride electric bikes for more than 200 kilometers, and they would definitely encounter many zombies on the road. Once there was fear, a car accident would happen. If everyone was riding together and one car fell, it would trigger a domino effect, and a large number of cars would fall.
If fear takes over a person's mind, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to control it.
The only way to overcome fear is to let everyone establish the idea that "we can also deal with zombies" from the beginning.
The explosions outside were getting louder and louder, and the sky was getting brighter.
After all, there are too many zombies, and it is impossible to kill them all.
Under Liang Xian's instructions, people wrapped their hands and threw the bodies of the dead zombies into the subway to avoid the accumulation of corpses.
Liang Xian specially reminded the logistics team that there must be no wounds on their bodies, and they must remember to finish off the zombies when carrying them to prevent any of them from slipping through the net.
The people he arranged to join the logistics team were the ones who were unwilling to take up weapons at the beginning.
"oops!"
Someone from the logistics team suddenly shouted, and Qiu Qizheng beside him hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
The middle-aged man who was slapped by Liang Xian laughed and said, "I have a herniated disc and my waist hurts a little."
Even a good-tempered man like Qiu Qizheng was irritated by his rogue smile. He glanced at the man coldly and shouted, "Keep working!"
After saying that, he turned around and went to fight, not noticing that the man was looking at everyone in the superpower team with a vicious look.
The man did not move the corpse as Qiu Qizhen said, but instead rushed directly towards Liang Xian who was fighting not far away. Liang Xian felt someone behind him, but he was already surrounded by zombies and could not dodge at all!
Suddenly, a steel pipe flew sideways and nailed the man to the ground. He struggled frantically, making inhuman howls.
Liang Xian looked in the direction where the steel pipe was flying from and saw that it was Tu Zishi.
He was actually fighting at the time, but suddenly he felt a chill on his back, and he instinctively kicked the steel pipe on the ground away. Under the control of his consciousness, he just penetrated the infected person.
After Liang Xian resolved the crisis, he nodded to Tu Zishi gratefully and shouted, "The transport team must make sure that the zombies are really dead. If they miss anything, they will be the ones who get hurt!"
The task of the transport team was actually the easiest, as the zombies they encountered were either dead or incapable of fighting. It was for this reason that they gradually became careless, and some even complained that it was too tiring to carry things all the time.
Seeing the middle-aged man nailed to the ground, everyone's faces turned pale and they became more alert.
The battle lasted until six in the morning, when the sky was already slightly bright. The three-hour battle had left everyone exhausted. Even the subway was filled with zombie corpses and could no longer hold any more.
At this time, the number of zombies had decreased, and Tan Yan walked into the supermarket facing the rising sun.
There was a layer of sunlight behind him, and in his hand was a rope that he got from somewhere. In the rope was tied a zombie that looked... very similar to a human. If it weren't for the zombie's pale face, everyone would have mistaken him for a human.
The zombie kept struggling in the ropes. His nails were sharp enough to cut through steel, but he couldn't cut the ropes that tied him.
"This is..." Asan said in surprise.
"That mutant zombie," Tan Yan kicked the mutant zombie directly, "can speak human language and seems to be afraid of pain. I hit him a few times and the zombie group retreated. I wanted to kill him, but seeing how useful he is, since he can make ordinary zombies retreat, I'll take him with me."
He said it easily, but everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they saw the mutant zombie's teeth and claws, and its eyes that were all white, but Tan Yan didn't care at all.
Indeed, to Tan Yan, a mere high-level zombie is nothing.
"Very good," Liang Xian said loudly, panting, "Now that we have the amulet, we are not afraid of encountering zombies along the way. I know everyone is very tired, but we can't stop yet. It's already six in the morning. Let's go out and find electric cars that can be used. Everyone will line up and go forward. After getting the electric cars, we will immediately return here to charge them. If you want to rest, you can repair them while charging."
After one night, Liang Xian had established prestige among the crowd. First he used high pressure to intimidate and then risked his life to protect. Liang Xian successfully turned everyone's dissatisfaction into trust. It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it was Stockholm syndrome, but it does have this meaning.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone organized themselves to form teams. Even though many people were so tired that their arms were numb and they couldn't hold the steel pipes in their hands, they were still able to drag their tired bodies to line up.
When the team was assembled, Liang Xian pulled Tu Zishi and Yan Yongfeng over and whispered, "Observe carefully."
Everyone hadn't slept all night and was very tired. Fortunately, the special power team had been professionally trained, so they could still overcome this fatigue. The two of them fully exerted their consciousness and looked at each person.
"You, you, you, you..." The two men pointed at people one by one, and the people who were called stood aside as Liang Xian instructed.
A total of more than 30 people were picked out, and Liang Xian said to them, "I'm sorry, we can't take you away."
"Why, why not?" Those people almost cried.
“You’ve been infected with the virus.”
As soon as Liang Xian finished speaking, everyone involuntarily took two steps back and kept a distance from the infected person, for fear of being infected themselves.
The infected cried out loudly, and some wanted to attack Liang Xian. Liang Xian pointed at the zombie who was nailed to the ground but was actually still alive and said, "Don't force me to open the wooden warehouse on you."
There was a slight tremor in his voice when he spoke. Even for him, how could he be willing to see these ordinary people turn into zombies
But they really were powerless. He had already planned everything out, and this was the minimum casualties within their capabilities.
Some people cried quietly. They had seen that these infected people were gradually becoming abnormal, with more whites in their eyes, blue skin, and increasingly stiff movements.
Many people burst into tears when they thought about the possibility that they might become like this and about those people who would never be able to return to Earth.
Seeing the infected people walking towards them little by little, unable to control themselves and wanting to attack everyone, everyone just stepped back and did not take action.
"What should I do?" Ah San held up the cannon with his hands shaking, "They want to attack us, but I can't open the cannon, I can't open it!"
Liang Xian stood in front of Ah San and quietly lifted the wooden bin. His hands were steady and did not shake.
At this time, Tan Yan stepped forward and said, "You don't have to do anything. Just give me a rope."
Liang Xian immediately took out a rope from his backpack, and Tan Yan seemed to turn into a gust of wind, tying up more than 30 people and tying them to the subway.
They could neither open the wooden warehouse to the people they were protecting nor take them away. This was the only choice they had.
The author has something to say: Lan Qing doesn't want this to happen, but with more than a thousand people, it's impossible for no one to be infected! Xianxian has tried his best, don't blame him!
