Chapter 266

However, no one noticed that shortly after the convoy left, a small figure disappeared from one of the vehicles.0

That person was none other than Yun Xiaoxiao.0

She had gone back to collect the supplies that others had discarded.0

Things like heavy vases, ceramics, phones, and computers—items that others had deemed useless.0

It didn’t matter if others didn’t want them; she wasn’t picky.0

As long as she found them useful, she took them all.0

In the following days, Yun Xiaoxiao and her team advanced triumphantly, conquering several small towns.0

The number of villages and small factories they overran was countless.0

Of course, during this time, they also rescued some survivors.0

Some of them chose to join the zombie extermination force immediately.0

Thus, a separate unit was formed specifically to recruit these stragglers.0

The rest were properly settled by Jiang Huai, who arranged for them to stay in a plains town that had already been cleared of zombies.0

Out of humanitarian concern, they were also left with some supplies.0

“Tomorrow, we’ll attack Gong City. This afternoon, everyone should rest well and wait for the evolution serum and supplies from Yun City.”0

After clearing a village of zombies, Jiang Huai ordered everyone to take a break.0

Not far from them was a city that could truly be considered large.0

It was nothing like the small town of Danhong County.0

Although it wasn’t as big as Rong City, it was at least two-thirds its size.0

The number of zombies inside was not to be underestimated.0

This was going to be a tough battle, the first major challenge they had faced in many days.0

So Jiang Huai wanted everyone, who had been in constant combat, to rest well and recharge.0

That way, they could be in top condition for the battle tomorrow.0

Moreover, today was the agreed-upon day for Yun City to deliver supplies.0

Although they had collected a lot of supplies along the way, edible items were not particularly abundant.0

Some places had already been looted, and some of the things they found had gone moldy or spoiled.0

With so many people and the constant effort of killing zombies, their consumption was high, and food was naturally in demand.0

So, in the end, what remained wasn’t much.0

Therefore, in the early stages, supplies from Yun City were essential.0

Most importantly, they needed the evolution serum to enhance their abilities!0

With that, everyone set down their equipment and set up camp.0

Yun Xiaoxiao and her team also lit a large bonfire.0

The smoke rose into the sky like a small gray snake.0

This was done to signal Mu Yang and his team, letting them know their exact location.0

It had all been arranged in advance.0

“Huh, it’s snowing?!”0

“Oh, it really is! Brr~ it’s so cold~”0

“Come on, let’s go get some extra clothes.”0

Just after lunch, light snow began to fall from the sky.0

Yun Xiaoxiao looked up, watching as scattered snowflakes drifted down, adding a sense of tranquility and chill to the world.0

She reached out her hand and caught one of the snowflakes.0

In no time, the crystal-clear snowflake melted in her small palm.0

Yun Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, a hint of seriousness crossing her face.0

The weather had changed...0

They had to speed up!0

At that moment, the sound of helicopter rotors echoed from a distance.0

“Brother Yang is here!”0

Nie Yizhou excitedly looked toward the helicopters approaching.0

After a while, the helicopters landed slowly.0

Mu Yang stepped out of the first helicopter.0

Yun Xiaoxiao and her team went over to greet him.0

The doors of the other three helicopters also opened, and the guards began unloading the supplies as previously agreed.0

At the same time, Jiang Huai and the leaders of other bases arrived.0

They brought a large number of zombie crystals to exchange for the evolution serum.0

Thus, the scene became bustling.0

On one side, they counted the crystals, and on the other, they distributed the serum.0

This went on for over an hour.0

After all the bases had left satisfied with their evolution serum, Yun Xiaoxiao and her team finally had a chance to talk to Mu Yang.0

Mu Yang said that everything at the base was fine.0

Ci Wan had also returned to the base with the people from the farm.0

Mu Yang had arranged accommodations for them and assigned jobs based on their skills and preferences.0n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now everyone was settled.0

Ci Wan and the others had originally planned to come, but Yun Xiaoxiao had already instructed them to stay behind.0

They were to assist Mu Yang in maintaining order at the base and continue training the guards.0

That’s why Ci Wan and the others hadn’t come this time.0

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mu Yang prepared to leave for Peng Shaowei’s location.0

Yun Xiaoxiao also handed him a map she had drawn, asking him to pick up Aunt Long and the others on the way back.0

Of course, they might not be able to take everyone in one trip.0

Mu Yang would have to arrange that himself.0

At the same time, Yun Xiaoxiao boarded one of the helicopters.0

When she came back down, she was dragging two large black bags.0

“Be safe on the road.”0

Yun Xiaoxiao waved goodbye to Mu Yang with a smile.0

Mu Yang glanced at the two black bags.0

He didn’t recall those being on the helicopter...0

But he didn’t ask. He knew Yun Xiaoxiao must have her reasons.0

After waving farewell, he boarded the helicopter.0

Once Mu Yang and his team had left, Jiang Huai sent someone to notify Yun Xiaoxiao and her team to attend a meeting.0

It had been agreed earlier that they would discuss the plan for the attack on the city the next afternoon.0

By the time Yun Xiaoxiao and her team arrived, the leaders of the other bases were already present.0

The meeting was held in the village committee office.0

After everyone was seated, Jiang Huai got straight to the point.0

He asked everyone to share their thoughts.0

“Leader Peng distributed a lot of explosives earlier, and we haven’t used them yet. I think this is the time to use them,” someone suggested immediately.0

Others also voiced their opinions.0

“Yes, I agree. The explosives should be used.0

There must be a lot of zombies in Gong City, and there might even be many high-level mutated zombies.0

If we continue clearing the streets one by one as before, I’m afraid the casualties will be heavy.”0

“But once the explosives are used, they’re gone, and we don’t have many.0

The city has so many areas—how can we be sure that using explosives will kill all the zombies?”0

“Also, if we use explosives, won’t the supplies in the city be destroyed?0

And if there are still survivors in the city, wouldn’t we be endangering their lives?”0

Everyone debated fervently, voicing their concerns.0

The main point of contention was whether or not to use explosives.0

Just as the discussion reached a stalemate, a child’s voice chimed in.0

“Why not lure the zombies out of the city and blow them up in one place?”0

As soon as the words were spoken, Wang Dahai slapped his thigh.0

“Right! That way, we won’t have to worry about wasting explosives or damaging supplies!”0
