Chapter 721 - 339: Occupation
In the early morning, after breakfast, everyone joined Maya’s team. Stone wasn’t allowed to lead the group because there was a serious distrust in his combat abilities, given that he was over 35 years old.
The pickup truck could only carry five people. After entrusting Wai to Su Shi, Lin Wu ran to the ramp. By the time he arrived at the ramp, Dashuang happened to have driven back. To conserve gasoline, Dashuang had only driven a short distance, just enough to ensure the license plate could deceive the monitoring system.
Dashuang got out, the other five got in, and Stone drove the pickup truck, easily bypassing the zombies on the road. The smoothness and speed of his driving couldn’t be compared to Dashuang’s.
The town wasn’t large, and in a few minutes, the car arrived at the crossroads where the number of zombies increased significantly. However, in the middle of the road, zombies were scarce; it was unusual for the inside of buildings to be densely packed with zombies. One explanation: this was the NPCs’ necessary route to the airport, and the zombies on the road had been run over and killed. Another explanation: people were hiding in buildings from the rain when the virus outbreak occurred. And the high-end theory involved either the ultrasonic zombie attractor or the ultrasonic zombie exorcisor.
Why ultrasonic? Generally speaking, blaming ultrasonic waves is not a problem because at the end of the day, if you can’t hear it, you can’t blame it.
At the top of the intersection marked by the character "dry," one could clearly see the highway bridge, which, like the ramp, had an automatic barrier system, but was also equipped with an infrared system and had no way around from the left or right.
"Prepare for combat."
Leaving the road, the truck turned right into an area that was 30 meters wide and 80 meters long, which could be called a small square or a parking lot. The truck stopped 20 meters away from the commercial street buildings. They got out, exterminated the surrounding zombies, and cleared a safe zone.
The commercial street was a standalone elongated building with no structures to its right except the embankment, leading all the way to the highway bridge. A hundred meters to the left of the commercial street was a row of low-rise buildings, which, judging from the signs, were all restaurants.
As there were no mutant zombies and the density was not too high, the battle to establish the safe zone was relatively easy. After the fight, everyone gathered at the front of the car for a temporary meeting to determine the specific combat strategy. During this process, everyone had a bad feeling, with the zombie density inside the mall being five times that of the small square, or even more.
In the center of the mall was a large staircase leading to the second floor, with shops along the street on either side of the staircase. To the left and right of the first-floor staircase were corridors leading to the interior of the first floor. It could be seen that to the left of the staircase was an elongated clinic, roughly estimated to be around 15 square meters, crammed with over twenty zombies.
