His proposal was actually quite good; they already had few people, and dividing their forces further would be too dangerous. So quite quickly, a plan was formulated.
However, with the plan in place, it was not easy to set a definitive action route.
Bai Ye then pushed Shen Xi forward, saying, "He’s a Spiritual Superpower User and can scout the distribution of zombies. We can find a route with fewer zombies to attack."
Of course, no one had any objections. Apart from Shen Xi the Spiritual Superpower User, the other three teams also had superpower users with enhanced speed, hearing, and spiritual powers who could scout.
So quite quickly, a rough plan came together. Essentially, everyone would move together as much as possible, scouting to find a relatively safe route in. Once inside, how much supplies one could grab would be up to them. To avoid being surrounded by zombies, everyone should try not to get separated.
The last point was really just lip service. How could they not scatter when faced with a real situation? Besides, these people were divided into four teams, and if further split, there could even be five teams. Nobody trusted anybody else, so how could they work together wholeheartedly?
Moreover, with so many people gathered together, how would the supplies be distributed? Since it was said that each would rely on their own ability, there was bound to be dispute when it came time to collect supplies.
But right now, the most important thing was to break into the Food Trading City. Considering the distribution of supplies was still premature.
Fang Yuxin and her team might have had the fewest people, but they all carried submachine guns. At first, they had not brought out their guns, which led others to underestimate them. However, as soon as they revealed their weapons, many people became envious. They might not have said anything, but their eyes didn’t lie.
Fang Yuxin saw this and immediately said to the people around her, "Be careful when we go in, don’t get separated. This place is not safe, and it’ll be dangerous if you’re alone."
The others nodded upon hearing this. They had also noticed the covetous glances. Was there anything they didn’t understand?
Bai Ye specifically looked at Fang Yuxin, finding himself increasingly appreciative of this woman.
With the plan in place, they didn’t delay any further and soon approached the Food Trading City. The city was teeming with zombies, and even more were wandering around outside. As they got closer, the stench of rot in the air became exceedingly intense.
Now was the time for everyone to show off their special talents.
Spiritual Superpower Users released their spiritual power to sense the surroundings, while superpower users with enhanced hearing and vision also employed their own methods. There weren’t many Spiritual Superpower Users among those present, only two or three at most, and their power was average, far inferior to Bai Qianqian and Shen Xi.
Fang Yuxin also released her Spiritual Sense, which allowed her to perceive a wider range. However, her mood grew heavy as soon as she sensed the surroundings.
What others had said was correct; there were at least tens of thousands of zombies here. And that wasn’t even the worst of it. There were at least a hundred Level 1 Zombies, and within this group, there were seventeen Mutant Zombies.
However, the food supply here was quite abundant. Although some of it had spoiled and some had been destroyed by zombies, a significant portion was still intact and in no small amount.
Soon, a route was confirmed.
The eldest leader said, "We must move fast! With so many of us here, zombies from other areas will soon be attracted. We must charge in before they arrive! Once we’re inside, we’ll rely on our own abilities!"
Fang Yuxin glanced at the other three teams. Although these people were numerous, their strength was not strong, and it was uncertain how many would die inside.
As they drew closer, the zombies in front began to stir restlessly. These zombies knew nothing of fear. To them, the approaching humans were just a bunch of food.
The zombies rushed greedily towards the group, and soon enough, a fight broke out.
For the sake of the supplies, everyone fought with all their might, sparing no effort. They quickly tore a hole through the encircling zombies and stormed in.
Fang Yuxin released Lan Re as they entered, conveying to it the notion of collecting Crystal Cores. Lan Re, being a plant, had only one main body but could differentiate into clones.
Currently, at a Level 1 mutation, it could separate into eight clones. These clones were all as thick as the main body, with nearly the same strength, but their energy consumption was also much greater.
After releasing Lan Re, it burrowed underground according to Fang Yuxin’s wishes and, while others were distracted, stealthily excavated the Crystal Cores from the brains of zombies that had been killed but not yet processed.
