"I had a magical dream. If weplete certain tasks, we''ll have a super safe house to live inter," Yun Xiaoxiao said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Is killing all the zombies in this neighborhood one of those tasks?" Nie Yizhou''s mouth twitched.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    To be honest, he was somewhat skeptical.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    This sounded like pure fantasy!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He had dreamed of eating an imperial feast too, but that didn''t make it real.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Mm-hmm, that''s right," Yun Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, her eyes crinkling, her face the picture of innocence.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Hearing this, Lu Chen''s lips curved slightly, his expression calm.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Then let''s start shooting."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Regardless of what others thought, he believed Yun Xiaoxiao.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    If something as incredible as rebirth could happen, what else was impossible?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He raised his submachine gun and began firing at the zombies below.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Seeing this, Xiao Feng also started shooting without hesitation.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Nie Yizhou rubbed his nose.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Oh well, who cares, it''s just killing zombies, might as well get on with it!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    With that thought, he too raised his gun and pulled the trigger.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together, gazing at the zombies falling to the ground below. Her eyes narrowed, a glint of fervor shining in their depths.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She vowed to be a diligent infrastructure maniac, cutting down all obstacles, be they human or ghost!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    She didn''t feel the least bit sorry about using the bullets.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    They had collected so many bullets precisely for this purpose.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Firearms were still somewhat useful in the early stages, but when supernatural abilities and mutations exploded in theter stages of the apocalypse, there would be far fewer opportunities to use guns.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    So, she was making full use of their resources now, which was entirely reasonable.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    In no time at all, five or six hundred zombies had fallen in swathes.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The neighborhood gates were closed, and the zombies outside were still too low-level to get in.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao and her group descended to the ground.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Lu Chen and Xiao Feng were responsible for shooting the asional zombies that came running from various directions.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao, Nie Yizhou, and Little Cutie were in charge of cracking open the zombies'' skulls to find the nuclei.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "I''ve eaten those things before. Although they can enhance supernatural abilities, they make you prone to irritability," Xiao Feng said as he watched Yun Xiaoxiao and the others digging out zombie nuclei, all while continuing to shoot zombies.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Nie Yizhou chuckled, "That''s because you haven''t met the little ghost yet. You''ll realizeter that these are all good stuff."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The group stayed in ce for about an hour, shooting more than two hundred zombies that had arrivedter, and collecting their nuclei before entering the first building on the left side of the main gate.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As soon as they entered, they pulled the entrance door shut.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    They didn''t want to waste time dealing with zombies from downstairs after they''d finished with those upstairs.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The apartments in this neighborhood were allrge single-floor units, with one household per elevator.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Each floor had two households.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao put away her gun and distributed a melee weapon to each of them.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Unlike outside, the indoor space was more confined. In close-quartersbat, a knife might be more effective than a gun.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Using supernatural abilities was extremely draining, so it was best to avoid them if possible.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Even as he gripped therge machete, Xiao Feng still couldn''t quite believe it.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "How can you make things appear out of nowhere?" he asked Yun Xiaoxiao in amazement.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Earlier, Yun Xiaoxiao and the others had taken the guns directly from the room in the small house.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    He had assumed those were items they already possessed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    But now, seeing Yun Xiaoxiao make the gun disappear and then produce several weapons out of thin air, he suddenly found himself questioning reality.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Brother Feng, I forgot to tell you, I also have spatial supernatural abilities. These are all items I collected earlier," Yun Xiaoxiao exined briefly, her lips curving into a smile.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Nie Yizhou patted Xiao Feng''s shoulder, speaking in a meaningful tone.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Don''t be surprised. You''ll get used to it after a while."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Xiao Feng: ......<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Screech!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Just as Nie Yizhou and Xiao Feng were talking, an obese male zombie came running out of the passage to the left of the elevator.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    It was wearing a ck striped bathrobe and was barefoot. The entire left side of its face was a horrific sight, as if it had been mauled by a wild animal. The skin was pitted and uneven, with bits of rotting flesh hanging off, and even some maggots crawling on it, emitting a nauseating stench.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Lu Chen reacted the fastest, stabbing the zombie in the head just as it lunged to bite.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The zombie''s eyes immediately closed for good.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Lu Chen, his face cold, twisted the knife handle. Finding no nucleus, he pulled the knife out.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao stepped towards the room on the left.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The path was covered in dried bloodstains.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The blood trail extended all the way to the doorway.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    There were several ckened handprints on the door.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As soon as they entered, they saw a skeletal corpse lying on the floor.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    This person had probably been devoured by other zombies before they could turn into one themselves.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao and the others searched the room but found no signs of other zombies.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    They left the room and went to the apartment on the right side of the elevator.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The door to this apartment was also open, but the inside was empty, without a single zombie.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The four of them then went up to the second floor via the stairwell.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    In the stairwell, they encountered a male zombie wearing nothing but a pair of oversized shorts.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    It stared at the four of them with its gray, lifeless eyes, let out a howl, and lunged at them with outstretched arms.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    However, it was rather unlucky. Its foot slipped.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Its entire body suddenly fell vertically, hitting the stairs and breaking an arm. It continued to roll uncontrobly downwards, crashing into the wall at the bottom.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    By ident, its mouth was also knocked askew.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The sounds it made had changed pitch.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    It sounded... somewhat pitiful.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    But it remained determined despite its injuries. Even with a broken arm and a twisted mouth, it still crawled towards the four, growling.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Nie Yizhou''s mouth twitched.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Sorry, big guy. Although I feel bad for you, I still have to send you on your way."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    With that, Nie Yizhou raised his knife and brought it down on the zombie''s head.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The four went to the apartment on the left side of the second floor.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The door to this apartment was closed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "What do we do now? The door''s closed," Nie Yizhou raised an eyebrow.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Let''s see if there''s anyone inside first."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Yun Xiaoxiao raised her hand and knocked on the door.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Nie Yizhou also pressed the doorbell beside it.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Hey, is anyone in there?" Nie Yizhou called out.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As soon as Nie Yizhou finished speaking, a very cautious male voice came from inside.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Who are you? Are you the police or the military?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Judging by the voice alone, the person inside didn''t seem to be very old.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Neither," Xiao Feng replied bluntly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "If you''re neither, why are you knocking? Oh, I get it, you''re here to rob me, aren''t you?!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    The young man''s voice was both angry and frightened.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    Several ck lines appeared on everyone''s foreheads.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Do you have anything worth stealing?" Nie Yizhou rolled his eyes.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Forget it, there probably aren''t any zombies inside. Let''s go," Lu Chen spoke up.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    As they were about to turn and leave, the person inside suddenly called out to stop them.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Hey, wait a minute! You''re really not here to rob me?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Believe it or not," Xiao Feng snorted irritably.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0


    "Please, save me. My parents have turned into zombies. They''re in the living room. I''m hiding in my room and can''t get out. I''m almost out of food. If this goes on, I''m done for."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
