"There are still many living people in there." Li Yanqi said. Probably because Gaoyuan lived in a high-end apartment in Nancheng, the building had good construction quality. There were not many zombies downstairs, and there were survivors as well.
Happiness!
A dozen zombies quickly gathered around, banging on the car door with their mouths wide open.
Fu Ying, who had grown accustomed to seeing all kinds of disgusting things, suddenly realized that she no longer felt the fear she had experienced in the previous few days when looking at these disgusting and cruel zombies. Instead, she found them extremely noisy.
"Fu, Chief Fu, is that really you?" The stubble-faced man called out from a distance, looking at the silver pickup truck parked downstairs. However, more and more zombies were surrounding the vehicle.
"Yes, which floor are you on?" Fu Ying asked. Fortunately, there was a spare power bank in the car, or else she wouldn't have been able to contact Gaoyuan.
"I'm on the fifth floor! I'm at apartment 506..." Beep~
Both of their phones emitted a busy tone at the same time, and Fu Ying couldn't establish a connection after dialing.
"What's wrong? No signal?" Fuying dialed her own number using Li Yanqian's cell phone and discovered that the signal was indeed lost.
"The power and water are cut off, and now even the signal is gone. This society has collapsed..." Zhang Tao muttered. He felt that they were gradually drifting away from the world they knew.
"So which apartment is he in? Let's go up together first." Li Yanqian suggested. She believed it would be best to stay here for the night since it was getting dark.
"I only heard him say he's on the fifth floor, but I don't know which apartment specifically." Fortunately, they made the call in time. If they didn't know which floor Gaoyuan lived on, it would have been a big problem.
Gaoyuan also realized that there was no signal. He didn't know if Fu Ying heard his reply or if he should go down now or wait for them to come up.
He had already dealt with the female zombie in his apartment. As expected, Fu Ying came after he informed her about it. It seemed that Fu Ying's previous words were not a joke.
He looked down at the car, seeing that it was already surrounded by zombies. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. Even if he went down now, what would happen with those zombies?
However, when he looked down the next second, his eyes widened.
Fu Ying, what are they doing?
"One, two, three, four," a group of people standing far away started counting down. To his surprise, the people Fu Ying had brought were actually killing zombies!
And why did that girl with the high ponytail look so powerful and familiar?
"Look, someone is killing zombies outside!" The survivors in the high-end apartment where Gaoyuan resided gathered around the windows. After hiding inside their apartments for several days, it was the first time they witnessed someone killing a zombie, and there were only four people?
"Monsters, kill the monsters..." In the windows of the dozen or so floors, pairs of red eyes stared intently outside. One of the owners of those eyes was a young boy. There was dried brown bloodstains behind him, and a pair of feet could be seen in each bedroom.
Could someone like that be killed? Had he not turned into a murderous demon?
The young man continued to watch with a sense of joy. He lived alone in this apartment. The two people who used to take care of him turned into monsters and attacked him, so he killed them. In the beginning, the room was filled with blood splatters due to their disorganized struggle. It wasn't until he stabbed one of them in the head with a knife that the person stopped moving.
After spending a few days in the blood-filled room, his mind was on high alert. He even questioned whether he had become a murderer and how he would explain it to his family later. But now, he observed that the group of people outside were fearlessly killing the monsters...
Li Yanqian felt that it wasn't that they were too powerful, but rather the zombies were too weak. These zombies, who hadn't evolved any abilities, could be easily dispatched without much effort. She felt indifferent because she knew these were just virtual zombies in a game, just like the monsters she used to kill in video games.
Swish!
Li Yanqian swiftly sliced through a zombie's head with her long knife. Without hesitation, she pierced the temple of another zombie with a short dagger in her left hand.
"Truly amazing," Guo Rongrong looked at Li Yanqian in the car. Fuying's trusted assistant was her, the "God's Hand" in the stock market, and the boss of Taoli Company. And now, she was a person who fearlessly killed zombies without batting an eye.
How did one become like this?
Gu Yao was also using a long knife crafted by Fu Ying to hack at zombies. She envied Fu Ying and Zhang Tao. They had unlocked the ability to kill these zombies, but her own power... it could only be used for manipulating water...
"Be careful, Gu Yao." Li Yanqian warned, seizing the opportunity while Gu Yao was distracted and beheading a zombie behind her with her long knife.
"Thank you for your help." Gu Yao said, taken aback. This was the nth time today that Yanqian had saved her...
Li Yanqian patted Gu Yao on the shoulder to provide comfort. The water manipulation ability could be powerful as well. In her previous life, there were several water-based powers in the game that were quite formidable. It seemed she should find an opportunity to give Gu Yao a little hint.
"Teacher Guo, we're ready to go inside." Li Yanqian knocked on the car door and informed Guo Rongrong. Although the zombies hadn't been completely eliminated yet, they had decided to advance while killing them, or else more zombies from other areas would rush over.
Even zombies from upstairs were now jumping down after spotting the living people downstairs.
Though the zombies turned into pieces upon landing, objects falling from a high altitude were still dangerous, and they couldn't linger here indefinitely.
"Okay, I'll lock the car and follow you," Guo Rongrong pulled out the car keys and took a weapon in hand. Li Yanqian stood guard attentively.
Seeing several people entering the building from a higher level, Gaoyuan couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Fu Ying was truly incredible!
Bang!
Zhang Tao's face was flushed. He was now more accustomed to hacking zombies like Li Yanqian rather than slowly activating his ability.
After the group descended to the high-end apartment, they discovered that the door was locked, and the zombies inside were pounding on it relentlessly.
"What do we do? There are too many zombies inside! More are coming from behind." Guo Rongrong said anxiously. If they opened the door, hundreds of zombies would swarm out.
"Zhang Tao, can you create a staircase to the second floor?" Li Yanqian glanced at the surroundings and quickly made a judgment.
Indeed, there was a platform directly in front of the second floor. Although the windows connecting to the platform had anti-theft nets, it wouldn't be a problem for Fu Ying to open them with her metal manipulation ability.
"Alright," Zhang Tao tossed aside the long knife in his hand and focused his abilities.
