Chapter 68: Seize the Opportunity to Accumulate Grain
Yi Fan quickly gathered all the captains and vice captains of the Heavenly Rock Five Birds Squad and said, "I'll arrange it for you guys. Listen carefully. Right now, there are hundreds of thousands of corpses surrounding us."
"Our mission is to eliminate these zombies as much as we can and collect crystal cores to strengthen ourselves. This underground garage will be an excellent training ground."
"You will become even stronger here. My requirement is that all the members of the team should reach the Second Grade within five days. The captain and vice captain should all reach the Third Grade. In terms of cultivation techniques, the cultivation techniques in my hands have already been passed down."
"You have to practice diligently and urge your team members to practice diligently. I think you should also have a deep understanding of the power of this technique."
"There are 150 survivors downstairs. You can choose your own reserve team members from them. I will leave this matter to you. It is up to you to decide who to choose and who not to choose. The number of survivors is limited to 10 per team. I only have two requests.
"First, loyalty and obedience."
"Second, you must undergo the baptism of corpse blood."
"I think you should be able to understand what I mean. After coming into contact, you shouldn't have to say anything. You shouldn't have to be taught by me."
Then Yifan said, "Qiangzi, Ji Ruoxue, you two send people to restore the electricity in this underground garage."
'"Eyeglasses, go get some jerky from the car and give it to the survivors. Don't take it too much. They won't starve to death. You guys are usually practicing beside our convoy. No outsiders are allowed to approach the convoy. If any survivors are interested in our supplies and weapons, kill them immediately. There's no mercy to speak of."
"I will take this opportunity to go out and salvage it. Just do as I have arranged."
Everyone accepted the order, while Yifan pulled Fei Na to a troop carrier. Inside the troop carrier, Yifan's parents, three professors, and Deng Shufen were sitting inside.
Yi Fan brought Fina and the two elders to chat for a while, and left Fina in the car. He left the car and walked out. The zombies were trapped outside, and there were outsiders in the garage. That was why Yi Fan left Fina with his parents.
He found a civilian vehicle, broke through the glass, opened the door, and sat inside. He took out some First Grade crystal cores from his Heavenly Rock Ring and began to recover the rock strength in his body. The situation outside was extremely complicated. He needed to maintain his good condition if he wanted to go out to retrieve supplies. If he encountered any accidents, he wouldn't be too passive.
LY County People's Hospital Outpatient Department, 3rd Floor.
A man in a black trench coat emerged from the explosion of a section of the ventilation pipe. Who else could it be if it wasn't Yifan?
The zombies in the corridor immediately followed suit. Yifan pulled out his broadsword from his waist and dealt with the zombies in a few strikes, alarming the dense group of zombies downstairs in an instant.
The clinic building only had three floors. At this moment, there weren't many zombies here, but at the end of the long corridor, the surgical building was filled with zombies.
Looking at the dense crowd, All he saw was a pile of corpse heads, Yifan looked out again, The scene outside made him feel as if he had returned to his previous life when the zombies surrounded the city. The zombies on the side of the hospital's back door could already be described as boundless. Zhang Meicheng was probably 100,000 in number. The streets that Yifan could see at the back of the hospital were filled with people, causing Yifan's heart to tremble. If he hadn't retreated into the underground garage earlier, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Yifan secretly sighed. There was no need to think about leaving through the back door. Yifan found another ward with a window leading the way. He looked at the position of the front door and was delighted. Although there were still many zombies in the front door, it was still much better than the back door. There was probably only 10,000 to 20,000 zombies.
Yi Fan thought to himself, if he wanted to leave, it seemed like he could only leave through the front door. He needed the cooperation of Cauliflower, and he had to be quick. He could not fight. Otherwise, he would probably be devoured to the point where not even the scrap would be left.
"Ow … Ow!"
The zombies below made the entire scene extremely lively. Pushing and shoving was extremely chaotic. Yifan wanted to summon cauliflower over, so it was probably useless to whistle or something.
Yifan remembered the little snake in the rune ball in his mind when Cauliflower signed the contract with him. As soon as he thought about it, Yifan immediately used his spiritual energy to touch the little snake and sent out a tentative signal to summon it. The signal had just come out.
'"Bang..." Soil flew everywhere. Cauliflower broke through the ground on the right side of the flower bed outside the clinic. The loud noise immediately attracted the attention of countless zombies. Cauliflower swiftly swam over and crushed a lot of zombies along the way. Her body even struggled to swing left and right as she lined up the zombies beside her and charged towards Yifan.
Yifan was also quite decisive. He directly jumped down from the third floor. Before he landed, a huge saber light shone from the saber and dozens of zombies fell to the ground.
As soon as Yifan landed on the ground, he stroked his saber left and right. The saber light turned into a blue moon, and in a flash, a circle of zombie heads flew up beside him.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Rock Burst Thorn-Earthly Lotus Flower!!"
Yifan kicked the ground. Countless zombies within twenty meters of him were killed and wounded by the string of stings. Cauliflower crashed into the group of stones and approached Yifan. Yifan quickly jumped up. He grabbed the bone mask on top of Cauliflower's head and squatted behind its head anxiously, "Cauliflower, run away!"
Cauliflower was extremely intelligent, A gigantic tail swept out, throwing away a pile of zombies. Then, it instantly turned around and rushed towards the flower bed. Its speed was extremely fast, with one person and one snake swiftly swimming among the zombies. Yifan fixed his body behind Cauliflower's head with one hand and wielded the saber with the other. Blue rays of light on the saber were like crystals, reducing the pressure on Cauliflower by quite a bit.
Near the flower bed, the head of the cauliflower began to emit a silver halo, wrapping Yi Fan in it.
'"Whoosh..." The cauliflower fell into the flower bed, and the zombies pounced over, but they were all sent flying by the tail wagging when the cauliflower drilled in.
Yifan hugged Cauliflower's neck tightly. His eyes darkened. Then, under the faint fluorescence, he saw the silver halo on Cauliflower's head. After arranging the surrounding rocks, Cauliflower's silver scales began to emit fluorescence. Like a silver snake, it escaped for about 10 meters. Only then did Cauliflower begin to run through the soil. Its speed was much slower than on the ground, and Yifan gave him instructions to leave the corpses quickly.
Yi Fan had stabilized his body as he walked underground. There was no air in the underground sealed space. Yi Fan could only hold his breath. As for cauliflower, it was a snake. To him, holding his breath was nothing more than pediatrics.
At this moment, Yifan was interested in the dark ground outside the fluorescence. He couldn't help but recall that his rock ability should also have the ability to dispose of these rocks. He didn't know if he could hide in the ground like a cauliflower. As soon as he thought of it, Yifan was a fine person anyway.
He began to emit a blue halo, This time, it wasn't condensation but divergence, Yi Fan slowly extended his hand out of the silver halo until he felt resistance. He could see the earth and stones slowly spreading out from the blue light. Compared to the speed at which Cauliflower was moving, Yi Fan's speed was much slower. However, as long as it proved to be feasible, it was enough. Yi Fan quickly withdrew his hand and studied it slowly in the future.
Yifan only gave Cauliflower directions the moment she hid underground, but Cauliflower still had her own unique judgment.
'"Bang..." Cauliflower brought Yi Fan out of the ground. He estimated that it had been about 10 minutes. With the Third Grade Evolution System, he felt slightly uncomfortable after being silent for more than 10 minutes. After coming out, he immediately took a big breath.
Yifan turned around and looked at the place where the cauliflower had drilled out. He instantly recognized that this was a corner of the pedestrian street. At this moment, they could be considered to have escaped from the group of corpses. At this moment, the two of them were in a position where none of the zombies had been lost. It seemed that all the zombies nearby had already gone to the hospital.
Yi Fan and Cauliflower completely relaxed. Cauliflower followed behind Yi Fan, but Yi Fan did not want to waste any time. He quickly ran wildly. The target was, of course, a rice shop.
This rice row was the largest rice row in LY County. With the reliable information Yi Fan had obtained in his previous life, along with the rice row's underground warehouse, there were at least 30 tons of various kinds of rice and nearly 20 tons of grain and miscellaneous grains. In total, there were probably 50 tons of grains that could be used as staple food.
To Yifan, this was simply a great temptation. The reason why Yifan chose to stay in this hospital was because the hospital wasn't too far from the rice walk. The current Yifan was already heading over there. At this moment, the streets were incomparably empty. Running wildly on the streets without zombies was simply not too pleasant.
At this moment, Yifan wasn't the only one who noticed that the zombies on the streets seemed to have disappeared. At least the streets near the pedestrian street were clean. Of course, there were also a few zombies in some locked rooms. When the Ghost Child Corpse King summoned them, all the zombies nearby ran to the hospital as fast as they could.
The streets suddenly became incomparably empty, Some smart survivors started to move. This was a heaven-given opportunity. They had to seize this opportunity to gather some supplies. Some survivors who had some food in their homes had also thought of going out to gather some food. After so many days of the apocalypse, it was the first time that they had not seen a single one of them lost on the streets.
However, Yifan ignored their thoughts. He was leading Cauliflower all the way to the largest vegetable market in LY County, the Wholesale Market for Silken Farming and Sideline Products.
When Yi Fan arrived, across the street, he saw many people rushing in from outside the vegetable market. Obviously, they had noticed something strange on the street. Yi Fan did not delay any longer and headed straight for the vegetable market with cauliflower.
