105: Chapter 105 One person gets a large villa

"There's a village over there, should we go there to rest?" Zhou Ke pointed at the village not far away.

The village here was nothing like the rural areas in one's usual impression; every household had two or three-story buildings, looking wealthy just by sight.

"Let's go." They had been traveling for a full nine hours, and no one knew the situation in the city. Better to rest first, recharge their energy, and set off early tomorrow morning.

The Wind Ability users continued to clear the path, and the vehicles turned toward the village entrance.

Xu Yu leaned against the window, staring intently at the most luxurious house. "This place looks even better than the villa district in Jing City. If you actually bought a building like this in the villa district, wouldn't it cost over a hundred million?"

"That's for sure. Just building this house yourself would probably cost several million." Jiang Heng was so envious he could practically drool.

Lu Zhiyu also liked it here. "What if we just settle down here? Each family gets a house."

Xu Wanning certainly liked it here too. "If we want to use Jin City as a base, the zombies in the city must be cleared out completely, otherwise they are all hidden dangers. However, the houses here can be allocated. Once things are settled in the future, whoever wants to live here can come."

"Great, great, great!" The group was extremely excited. Before The Apocalypse, not everyone could afford a villa. Just having a house of their own was already cause for happiness, and now, getting one big villa per person? How wonderful!

The buses stopped at the village entrance. A few people were left on each bus to protect the family members inside, while the rest went down to clear out the zombies.

The Earth-type Ability users and Metal-element ability users immediately erected a wall on the main road entering the village to ensure no more zombies could enter.

Xu Wanning stretched her body; the slaughter began!

The extreme cold had just passed, and there was still some standing water in the potholes on the ground.

Jin City truly lived up to its name as a zombie city; there were many zombies with Supernatural abilities. Some stayed behind to clear out ordinary zombies, while others who were confident and capable confronted the zombies with Supernatural abilities.

Xu Wanning picked out a Wind Ability zombie, a teenage girl.

She opened her palm, and three Ice Spikes broke through the air, attacking the zombie.

The Wind Ability zombie dodged to the side; the afterimage was pierced, but the physical body shifted three meters away without any damage.

Lu Chengyue, who was by her side, helped out. He unleashed a Wind Blade, cutting horizontally across.

The Wind Ability zombie leaned back, her head almost touching the ground. The Wind Blade grazed her rotting chest, only slicing off a few scraps of cloth.

"Roar!" The Wind Ability zombie was enraged, a roar squeezed from its throat, and air currents raged around it.

Gravel, sand, and withered branches were swept into the air, forming a small tornado, with countless tiny Wind Blades inside the tornado.

Xu Wanning stomped hard on the ground, and an ice wall rose from the ground. The tornado slammed into the ice wall, crackling as ice shards splattered.

Lu Chengyue released his Wind Ability, forcefully breaking open the tornado, and the tornado's rotation speed slowed down.

The Wind Ability zombie closed in, its long nails aimed straight at Lu Chengyue.

Xu Wanning condensed an ice spear and thrust it toward the Wind Ability zombie's head.

Sensing danger, the Wind Ability zombie retreated rapidly. The ice spear grazed its ear and pierced the ground.

Lu Chengyue took the opportunity to get close, delivering a whip kick to the zombie's waist. The zombie couldn't dodge in time and stumbled back several steps.

Xu Wanning continued her fierce attack, and countless Ice Spikes surged from the ground, stabbing toward the zombie.

With nowhere to retreat, the zombie roared at the sky, and the air around it compressed rapidly.

Lu Chengyue's pupils constricted, and he spread his fingers to control the wind.

The air around them was pulled by the two, distorting into ripples visible to the naked eye.

Xu Wanning seized the chance to condense an ice sword, stepped forward, and swung her arm in an arc.

The Wind Ability zombie blocked in a rush, but it was too late. The long sword severed its neck. Its movements stiffened, the wind around it dissipated rapidly, and it collapsed to the ground.

Xu Wanning dug out the Wind Ability crystal nucleus and tossed it to Lu Chengyue. "Absorb this in a while."

As long as he absorbed this crystal nucleus, Lu Chengyue's Supernatural ability could reach S-rank.

Ice-type zombies were hard to encounter, so she would just have to obediently absorb the crystal nucleus. But it didn't matter; it would only take ten days anyway.

Whoever killed the zombie got the crystal nucleus, and if anyone wanted to trade with the other, they could.

Xu Wanning turned her head to look at Jiang Heng. "Jiang Heng, check if there are any zombies in these houses."

"Got it." Jiang Heng closed his eyes. "None. The houses are very safe."

"Ma Yang, Song Qiang, go unlock the doors. Everyone else, cover the family members as they go in." Xu Wanning released her Supernatural ability to freeze the zombies around the houses, and the others directly chopped off their heads.

Under everyone's protection, the family members in the vehicles entered the houses one by one. Three households per building; they couldn't scatter for now. They would separate after clearing out the entire village in a while.

"Do you think there are any survivors in this village?" Cheng Xu chopped off a zombie's head.

"Of course not." Jiang Heng looked back at him. "I just checked. There isn't a single living person left in the entire village."

Being an A-rank Mental-type, the range he could see was enough to cover the entire village.

"I'm sleepy." Zhang Shan let out a big yawn.

"Me too." Bai Jian followed with a yawn.

They had set off at 8:00 AM and traveled for nine hours; it was now just before 6:00 PM.

Xu Wanning happened to hear them. "Let's eat first, then rest immediately after."

She was also a bit sleepy, perhaps because she had been sitting in the car for too long. Normally, she wouldn't feel sleepy at this time.

The entire village had about 300 households, with around 2,000 zombies, including those that had respawned and the original people of the village.

Fortunately, after they cleared out the zombies, no new zombies appeared.

The reason was simple: the number of zombies in Jin City exceeded the number of survivors. In other words, even if they killed all the zombies, no more would respawn. This place was a sanctuary for survivors.

If their entry into Jin City counted towards the city's population, at most 300 zombies would respawn. At that time, they could keep them penned in one place; as long as they didn't kill them, they could still live like they did before The Apocalypse.

She didn't plan to accept too many survivors, unless she could be certain that the people entering wouldn't cause zombies to respawn.

Or, if this so-called "respawning" ceased.

The 2,000-plus zombies were cleared out before long. By 6:30, everyone gathered in the largest house to eat dinner.

Xu Yu rolled up his sleeves. "I could eat a whole cow!"

Xu Wanning handed him a bowl of beef noodles with generous portions. "Eat some beef."

Lunch boxes were piled on the table, free for the taking. Except for those with allergies who went to Xu Wanning to get their meals separately, the others swarmed toward the table to grab them.

"It smells so good!" Jiang Heng happened to get a lunch box made by Liu Meilan, and the fragrance dazed him.

Liu Meilan sat silently to one side eating. Ever since her husband passed, she hadn't smiled again.

Song Yunqing picked up a piece of pork rib for her mother. "Mom, eat more. Dad must be watching over us from heaven."

"Mm." Liu Meilan picked up the rib and gnawed on it, tears welling up in her eyes. She couldn't accept her husband's departure for the time being.

Wu Suyun was in a similar situation, but she didn't show it; she was afraid her daughter would be sad along with her.

Wen Shuyang sat next to her mother, very silent. If only Dad were still here.

She glanced at the stars outside the window. Dad must be watching over them from heaven.
