130: zombie horde

Su Mianmian looked up at Shi Xu, seeing the heartbroken expression on his face as he looked at her, she smiled at him and said with determination, "We can definitely end these days of wandering."

The others also felt a sense of reluctance, more or less, but they buried it deeper, so it wasn't obvious.

Mother Shi and the others, however, were excited. Although they couldn't continue researching their vegetables for a short time, the thought of building a base quickly and establishing a vegetable cultivation center there meant they had no feelings of reluctance.

Su Mianmian originally thought Mother Shi would be sad, but when she turned her head, she saw Mother Shi smiling happily.

She smiled, thinking this was quite good.

Su Mianmian glanced next door; Yao Yin still hadn't returned when they left.

What a pity.

Shi Xu seemed to understand her thoughts; he reached out and ruffled her head, seemingly comforting her.

Actually, he no longer felt much hatred in his heart, as they had schemed against Yao Sheng, which could be considered revenge for their past selves.

But if they met again in the future, Yao Yin would definitely not escape.

It was still very early when they left, and the others didn't know they were leaving at this time, so no one gathered to watch them.

They left very quietly.

Su Mianmian sat in the car, looking at the traces of corrosion left by the flood outside, and shook her head with regret.

"If it weren't for this flood, many food items might not have been destroyed."

"Now, there's probably not much food left below."

"In the future, the survival of humanity will definitely become increasingly difficult."

Su Mianmian turned to Shi Xu, saying with regret.

Shi Xu nodded, his expression a little solemn.

The current situation was indeed very bad; many people couldn't find supplies, and the supplies they did find were spoiled and inedible.

The current situation was truly difficult for humanity.

"But I believe humanity can definitely overcome difficulties; we must believe in human wisdom."

"Mianmian, we should be traveling for over half a month."

Su Jinxuan sat on the side, and upon hearing Su Mianmian's words, he said with certainty.

Being too pessimistic wasn't good; it wasn't yet the time for humanity's true destruction.

Su Mianmian nodded, agreeing with Su Jinxuan's words.

She strongly agreed with Su Jinxuan that humans possess wisdom.

Without wisdom, they wouldn't have reacted so quickly and found ways to cope with the apocalypse.

Building safe bases, finding the zombies' fatal weaknesses, cultivating vegetables, effectively utilizing water ability users' water... Su Mianmian knew from novels alone how clever humans were... Having been on the road for this long, Su Mianmian felt uncomfortable all over.

She stretched, accidentally bumping into Shi Xu's arm again.

She said apologetically, "Shi Xu, I'm sorry, I bumped into you again."

This was not the first time she had bumped into Shi Xu while stretching, either hitting his head or his hand; Su Mianmian didn't know how to apologize to him anymore.

She looked at him apologetically, covering her face with her hands and bowing several times towards Shi Xu.

Shi Xu couldn't help but smile; he reached out, took her hand, and said with a smile, "It's alright, hitting is affection, scolding is love. If you like hitting me, I can interpret it as you loving me more and more."

Su Mianmian: "..."

She couldn't help but look up at Shi Xu, feeling that he was becoming increasingly improper in his speech.

Shi Xu released her hand and instead reached for her head, ruffling it.

Su Mianmian felt his action, but she was now dared not to speak.

Having just done something mischievous, she dared not complain about him now.

After he finished playing, Su Mianmian quickly turned to look out the window.

"Shi Xu, what are those little black dots over there?"

"Why do I feel like they're a large group of zombies?"

When Su Mianmian saw those little black dots, her eyes widened instantly. She reached out, tugging at Shi Xu, and said nervously.

Upon hearing this, Shi Xu's expression froze for a moment.

He didn't look directly but released his mental power. Unfortunately, no matter how he tried, he couldn't see what those things were.

"Mianmian, my mental power can't detect the situation over there."

"The one commanding them is probably a big one."

Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian with a solemn expression, hesitating.

Upon hearing this, Su Mianmian immediately thought of the "Zombie King."

"Shi Xu, the one leading them should be the Zombie King."

"We've been targeted by them."

"The worst part is, it probably also has mental abilities, and its level is similar to yours."

What kind of concept this was, Su Mianmian didn't know.

She looked at Shi Xu, full of tension.

She only knew that this battle would definitely be a fierce one.

Shi Xu's eyes were deep; a mutated zombie with a higher level than him was indeed very dangerous.

He quickly scanned the surroundings and decisively pointed to a building not far away, "Xu Qing, drive the car to that tall building."

Shi Xu's voice was calm and firm, carrying an unquestionable power.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing immediately turned the steering wheel quickly, and the car drove in the direction Shi Xu indicated.

The cars behind, seeing Shi Xu's car move, followed suit without hesitation.

When they got out of the car, there were a few zombies at the building. Su Mianmian was tightly protected by Shi Xu, while Xu Qing and the others were responsible for dealing with the zombies.

Upon reaching the top floor, Shi Xu looked around and decided the location was quite good.

He briefly explained to everyone that they had been targeted by the Zombie King.

Upon hearing this, everyone dared not ask further, quickly composed themselves, and prepared to face the battle in their best state.

Shi Xu saw that they quickly got ready and nodded with satisfaction.

He didn't say much, quickly assigning tasks: "Xu Qing, you and the others guard the east window. Mianmian, stay by my side and be careful. Chief Ren, you take your people and find good cover points. If any stragglers get through, deal with them quickly."

Shi Xu's words were concise and clear; everyone quickly entered battle mode.

Su Mianmian wasn't assigned a task by Shi Xu, and she pouted a little, feeling a bit displeased.

However, this was not the time for displeasure; she just needed to do her own thing.

If Shi Xu didn't assign her, couldn't she act on her own?

Her abilities were in her own hands; she could use them however she wanted.

Thinking of this, Su Mianmian didn't dwell on it further.

Soon, dense hordes of zombies surrounded them. Leading the charge were some low-level zombies, interspersed with a few first and second-level zombies.

Seeing this, Su Mianmian felt that the Zombie King's tactic must be the "sea of questions" tactic.

It wanted them to waste their abilities on these low-level zombies, so that when their abilities were exhausted later, they wouldn't be able to defeat the more powerful zombies.

Su Mianmian frowned, feeling that this Zombie King was truly insidious.

If she understood this, how could Shi Xu not understand?

He realized that the previous plan could no longer be used.

Originally, they expected the powerful zombies to be in front, but it turned out... "Shi Xu, there are too many zombies! Let's use guns and bullets!"

"Save our abilities for later."

Su Mianmian looked at the increasing number of zombies, her face anxious, and specifically said to Shi Xu.

The others, upon hearing Su Mianmian's suggestion, all found it reasonable and echoed their agreement.

Shi Xu nodded, and the two of them took out many weapons from their space, distributing them to everyone.

Su Mianmian held two guns, intending to use a dual-wielding approach.

As Shi Xu was the first to pull the trigger, a crisp gunshot pierced the dead silence, followed by others also pulling their triggers, and bursts of gunfire rained down like a sudden storm.

Su Mianmian looked at the fallen zombies, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips.

She held her guns steadily, her eyes flashing with fierce light. Dual-wielding, bullets, like the anger in her heart, accurately pierced through the bodies of low-level zombies, striking them down one by one.

As more and more zombies were hit or blown up by guns and bombs, roars of agony erupted from the zombie horde, black blood splattered, and a pungent stench filled the air.

Amidst the hail of bullets, no matter how many times outnumbered, the defense line formed by Shi Xu and his team stood firm like a rock.

Ren Tingfeng and the others, fighting alongside Shi Xu and Su Mianmian, were equally fearless. Their gaze was incredibly resolute, filled with indifference to life and death.

Soon, the zombie corpses below began to pile up.

Su Mianmian felt this wouldn't do. She looked at the increasingly high pile of zombie corpses and said to Shi Xu with a serious expression, "Shi Xu, they want to use the corpses as stairs."

The ones in front are serving as ladders for those behind.

Su Mianmian frowned, feeling that these zombies were truly too cunning, especially that Zombie King.

She searched for a long time but didn't see a trace of it.

This wouldn't work. If they kept failing to find the Zombie King, it would continuously gather nearby zombies to join the war.

At that point... Su Mianmian shook her head. Zombies don't get tired, but they do.

This absolutely wouldn't do; they had to find that Zombie King.

Shi Xu also knew this wasn't good. He looked at the increasingly high pile of zombie corpses and suddenly came up with an idea.

"Zombies should also be afraid of fire, right?"

"Mianmian, get the oil out."

Su Mianmian immediately understood his idea. Without thinking, she took out a lot of oil from her space. Shi Xu had Xu Qing and the others lift it and pour it down.

After Xu Qing and the others finished pouring the oil, Shi Xu threw down the fire source.

As a flash of fire rose, the zombies' wails grew louder and clearer.
