Chapter 117

Lin Qianhuan curled her lips and chuckled, “Our family of three had seen zombies with our own eyes before the apocalypse, so we stocked up on some necessities.
Back then, many people said we were worrying unnecessarily, but who knew the things we stocked up on would really save our lives.”
Liu Guanwen gripped his bun and sighed softly.
“Indeed, the ones doing well now are really just two kinds of people.
One is the brave and capable Superpower users, and the other is those who noticed the danger and stocked up on supplies in time.
It just so happens that your family has it all, no wonder the quality of life is so high.”
Lin Qianhuan chuckled and didn’t say anything more.
Lu Jiasheng lay on the mattress, also clutching a pork bun in his hand.
How could he not hear the perfunctory tone in Lin Qianhuan’s words, but no one present was willing to delve into these matters.
They only needed to know that she was the clearing team’s savior.
The rest didn’t matter.
Time flew by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, three days had passed.
The heavy dark clouds outside the window still hadn’t dispersed, piled up in the sky, looking particularly oppressive and terrifying.
But the rain had lessened a bit, turning from a downpour to a moderate rain.
The members of the clearing team had injuries of varying degrees, but after taking good care of themselves for three days, they had recovered quite well.
Lu Jiasheng was injured in the abdomen, but with the nourishment of the Spirit Spring water, the wound had mostly healed.
Supported by his teammates, he walked to the window, his brows furrowing tightly when his gaze fell to the floor below.
“We can’t stay in Azure Sea Apartments any longer, we must take advantage of the rain not stopping yet and head to Silver Bay Gardens in advance.”
Lin Qianhuan walked to his side and looked down, immediately understanding why he was so anxious to leave.
The water surface below the apartment building was covered with densely packed zombies.
They rolled, surged, and frantically sniffed for the scent of humans, like ant colonies going out to forage.
Lin Qianhuan and the others were hiding on the 12th floor, and never made any noise on weekdays, which allowed them to barely escape their hunt.
But if they continued to delay here, as the water level rose, some stragglers would inevitably enter the apartment building.
Once their whereabouts were accidentally discovered, even the clearing team’s fierce firepower would not be able to withstand the thousands of zombies.
Lin Qianhuan retracted her gaze and looked at Lu Jiasheng beside her.
“Are you sure you’re okay with your physical condition?”
He nodded slightly, but the color of his lips was no longer as pale and terrifying as it was on the first day, and he had some color.
“As long as the wound doesn’t get wet, I’ve suffered worse injuries than this before, this little cut is nothing.”
Lin Qianhuan chuckled upon hearing this, and slandered in her heart.
If it weren’t for the half bowl of Spirit Spring water I poured down, you might have finished Meng Po soup and been reincarnated by now.
She cleared her throat, “Then everyone pack up, I have inflatable boats here, but the space is not that big, at most it can only carry 5 people.
We have a total of 29 people, and 6 are injured.
Just right, put one injured person on each inflatable boat, divide into 6 teams on your own, and we will set off back to Silver Bay Gardens later.”
Lu Jiasheng raised his hand, “I’ll be in a team with you three.
The remaining team members, five people per team, focus on protecting the wounded.
Safety first, don’t fight head-on with the zombies in the water, act according to the circumstances.”
“Yes!”
The clearing team was well-trained. With Lu Jiasheng’s order, the remaining team members immediately divided into 5 teams.
Lin Qianhuan handed out raincoats and rain boots one by one, and after cleaning up the traces of life in the house, the group went downstairs in an orderly manner.
Jiang Xing led the way in front. Lin Qianhuan looked at the inconvenient Lu Jiasheng, and couldn’t help but frown.
This guy was injured in the abdomen, couldn’t be carried on the back, and it was easy to pull the wound when he walked, which looked very strenuous.
Lin Qianhuan’s fingertips moved slightly, and her mental tentacles wrapped around Lu Jiasheng, who was walking with difficulty.
The nearly 1.9-meter man was placed horizontally in mid-air, swaying and floating down the stairs.
“Your Superpower is quite useful.”
Lu Jiasheng sighed softly, “It’s a waste for a dual-Tie Superpower user like you to live in Azure Sea Apartments.
Why don’t you come back to the Kyoto base with me after we solve that high-level zombie?
A good seedling like you will definitely be snatched by the captains of the hunting teams.”
Lin Qianhuan smiled and chuckled, “When the time is right, I will settle in the Kyoto base.
But not now.”
Seeing that she was unwilling, Lu Jiasheng didn’t urge her any further, and obediently closed his mouth.
But he still felt sorry in his heart.
If Lin Qianhuan went, Jiang Xing would definitely follow her.
He and these two were barely old acquaintances, and coaxing people into his team…
Just thinking about it made him happy.
Stepping on the ashes all over the floor, they went from the 12th floor to the 5th floor.
In just three days, the accumulated water had submerged the fourth floor and was about to submerge the windowsills on the fifth floor.
Hearing the sound of the group going downstairs, the zombies frantically began to paddle in the water. A pair of turbid and rotten eyes seemed to be glued to them, and they couldn’t shake them off at all.
Fortunately, these guys had rotten and incomplete limbs and couldn’t swim, so they couldn’t rush into the apartment building right away.
Jiang Xing stepped forward, and a thunderball flickered in his palm, which he suddenly threw into the water.
The dark purple lightning spread rapidly among the corpses, white light exploded, and screams rang out.
In just a few seconds, the zombies within 50 meters of the apartment building were completely charred and floated on the water, no longer having any attacking power.
“Damn, that’s the Thunder system Superpower.”
Liu Guanwen marveled, his eyes gleaming.
“On rainy days and in the water, the Thunder system Superpower is invincible, right?”
His jaw almost dropped in shock, but he was tugged by his teammates, urging him to come back to his senses and get on the boat quickly.
Lin Qianhuan and the three of them took Lu Jiasheng onto the inflatable boat first, followed by the second group, the third group…
Seeing the zombies in the distance pushing away the charred corpses and rushing over, they didn’t panic, and still got on the inflatable boats in an orderly but quick manner.
A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Lin Qianhuan’s lips. Cooperating with soldiers made people feel physically and mentally comfortable.
If the teammates were ordinary people, even if there were enough inflatable boats, they would grab seats like crazy, fearing that they would be buried in the sea of corpses.
At that time, it would be you pushing me, you die, I live.
I am afraid that before the zombies come over, many people will have died at the hands of their own kind.
After all, Lin Qianhuan had experienced this kind of thing in her previous life.
And more than once.
But if you think about it carefully, soldiers can do this because they trust each other and can hand over their backs to their comrades.
But most of the time, ordinary survivors are in a hostile state. When disaster strikes, they will naturally focus on self-preservation. Who can care about the life and death of others?
Different identities, different choices.
“Let’s go!”
Lin Qianhuan started the inflatable boat, wearing a red raincoat, which looked particularly conspicuous under the dim sky.
A full 6 inflatable boats, sailing in the sea of corpses, sped towards the east.
