There were eight zombies.
Any survivor facing this situation would ultimately end up being knocked down, torn apart while crying for their parents, and might not even have the chance to turn into a zombie.
Dong Jia, clad in War Armor, was not flustered at all. Facing the zombies’ encirclement, she was more than capable, predicting their movements in advance. Although her dodging was not very skilled, it was very effective.
The sharp straight knife gleamed with a cold light, quickly beheading the zombie.
Zhu Cheng stared wide-eyed, really wanting to get out of the car and chop down zombies like Dong Jia, but he knew it was just a dream. With his chubby physique, the zombies would definitely pat their bellies, satisfied.
Zhong Hanguo held his shield, ready to charge at any moment, his strength enhanced and his shield maximally reinforced by the crystal. Fighting zombies felt truly exhilarating.
Of course, it was Dong Jia’s time to perform.
Lin Fan praised, having to admit Gu Hang had great foresight in recognizing Dong Jia’s awakened abilities, not to mention her enhancement now.
The range she could foresee broadened.
When a zombie pounced, Dong Jia dodged instantly; the failed zombie seemed to ignore the pressure of twisting its ankle, turning around and pouncing at her again.
Today’s zombies were much more powerful than those at the initial end of the world era, with improved overall metrics.
Dong Jia swung her straight knife, the movement somewhat excessive.
She brutally cleaved the zombie in two.
Lin Fan knew his abilities were formidable, understanding that slightly broader movements often easily provided zombies with an opportunity to bite.
But as he swung, none of the zombies in front of him could stand steadily.
So there were no consequences from extensive movements.
Thanks to her awakened ability to foresee, Dong Jia might have started with a bit of clumsiness, but the end result was always flawless.
The zombies in front of her were completely eliminated by Dong Jia. Although it took a bit long, her performance for a first real battle was already very impressive.
Dong Jia, slightly panting, looked at the scene before her. Facing the zombies at first, to say she wasn’t nervous would be a lie; then, as she swung her blade and tore through their bodies, the blood splattering scene caused intense turmoil inside her.
Gradually, she became accustomed to the gruesome scene.
Dong Jia opened her face mask, smiling, "Lin Brother, did I perform well?"
Lin Fan clapped his hands.
"Beyond imagination, our Sunshine District’s first female war deity truly deserves her title."
Lin Fan was always generous with his praise when complimenting others, especially since he was telling the truth and not fabricating anything.
Dong Jia blushed from the praise, "Lin Brother, I’m at most second place. Sister Ye Qian is truly formidable. I’m still far behind."
Zhong Hanguo interjected, "I think both have their strengths. Sister Ye is unmatched at long range, and Sister Dong is unbeatable in close combat. There’s a movie quote, ’Beyond ten meters, guns are faster; within ten meters, blades reign supreme.’
Dong Jia laughed, saying, "Zhong Brother, that’s the proper version. People usually say, ’Beyond ten meters, guns are fast; within ten meters, guns are both fast and accurate.’
Zhong Hanguo, not knowing there was such a saying, paused, quite surprised.
"There’s such a saying?"
Lin Fan smiled silently. As Dong Jia said, without her War Armor, Ye Qian’s lethality would be very high, but Dong Jia’s current armor, reinforced by the crystal, had strong defense that might not be breached.
Dong Jia smiled secretly.
She knew old Zhong wouldn’t be aware of these terms.
In her heart, Ye Qian was very strong; even with her wearing War Armor, she was not confident of winning.
The granary in front of them was their target for this trip, to check the granary’s status while clearing any zombies inside. From a distance, they could see its large storage silos filled with grains.
The current grain storage was to meet early needs. If they truly wanted to progress, they had to produce their own; of course, the granary’s food supply could last a very long time.
They included rice, wheat, corn, among others.
They were just checking it out.
Moving all the stored food from the granary was impractical; not to mention, the granary’s equipment was better at preserving food.
Lin Fan led everyone inspecting the granary.
They secured all the doors.
While clearing out the zombies still hiding inside.
Though zombies usually reacted to noises and ran out.
But there could be an awkward situation where a zombie got stuck somewhere, wanting to move but unable to.
After ensuring the granary’s safety,
Lin Fan led them back to Sunshine District.
Gu Hang, He Yong, and others were welding iron fences, looking to expand the area, which naturally increased the need for iron fences as they aimed to create a genuine safe zone; indeed, there was another method.
Lin Fan was confident in swinging "Frostmourne" at the ground, knowing he could cleave a deep abyss, forming a perfectly squared-off separate area.
It was just unfortunate that there were water pipes, electrical lines, sewers, and various urban operational lines underground. A cut through them would plunge Sunshine District into a state without electricity and water.
"Everyone’s working hard, how’s it going?"
