The beverage section of the convenience store was truly dazzling, with all kinds of drinks, both common and rare.

Xu Duoduo simply collected everything in sight. As long as it wasn't dirty, she took it all.

If she didn't take them, others would eventually, or they'd be destroyed by mutant creatures. She felt justified in her collection, believing that resources were safer in her hands.

They quickly finished raiding the convenience store and moved on to the neighboring bakery. The cakes in the display cases were naturally useless, having all gone bad.

However, the baking area in the back still had many leftover ingredients - flour, milk powder, sugar, and the like.

Along the way, there were many such food establishments, and their task was to take away all the usable inventory.

The most exciting find was the gold shop!

The store was filled with gold, glittering brilliantly. Both the little zombie and Chen Xiaofei let out a "Wow!"

"My goodness! How much would all this have been worth before the apocalypse? Squad Leader, hurry, let's take it all! I think there's a tobacco and liquor store next door! Old Wang's favorite, let's go there after we're done here!"

Xu Duoduo nodded, waiting for Chen Xiaofei to eliminate the few zombie ladies behind the counter before breaking the glass and starting their collection mode.

The neighboring tobacco and liquor store was equally shocking. Chen Xiaofei couldn't help but exclaim, "If Old Wang were here, he'd be over the moon, wouldn't he?"

Xu Duoduo said nothing, simply packing up the entire wall of cigarettes and alcohol.

While the hoarding duo was happily exploring and collecting supplies, on the other side, Wang Weihu was sneezing repeatedly, looking quite disheveled along with Bai Shu.

"Everyone, follow me this way. Don't fall behind, and don't shout," Wang Weihu called out to the survivors behind him, leading them towards a convenience store and arranging for them to take shelter inside.

Bai Shu covered for them. Even in daylight, these zombies became exceptionally agitated when encountering a group of fresh, living flesh. They lunged at any human they saw.

Bai Shu kicked away another zombie that pounced towards him, then quickly finished it off with a shot. "Tch, these things are really annoying, endless, impossible to finish off!"

He looked up to see many zombies that had been hiding in the shadows emerging again.

They had already eliminated about 90% earlier, but now there were so many again?!

It was almost dark!

Wang Weihu threw a marble bomb at a small wave of zombies gathering in front. This device could control explosions within a five-meter diameter range - precisely five meters, no more, no less.

With a "bang," it exploded.

Instantly, a small cluster was eliminated.

"Little Bai, you stay and guard the survivors. I'll go rescue the others and bring them over here."

The flesh of the living constantly attracted zombies. Simply leaving the survivors here wouldn't work; if they got scared, they might scream, which could attract who knows what.

Bai Shu nodded, catching his breath. He took out his water bottle and gulped down a large mouthful of cold tea. It was from the Squad Leader; they each had a large bottle. He didn't know where she got so many thermos flasks from, probably collected them along the way.

Wang Weihu patted Bai Shu on the shoulder, then quickly ran towards the front, eliminating zombies while turning into the next street to rescue others.

Bai Shu continued eliminating zombies while occasionally changing magazines, sometimes glancing at the survivors in the convenience store, who were covering their mouths in terror, hiding.

Sigh.

He let out a deep sigh.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Qin Luo had become a zombie-slaughtering machine. The zombies in the large shopping mall were truly numerous. He couldn't use large bombs and had to rely on marble bombs.

Even the marble bombs couldn't be used too much, for fear of setting off a chain reaction by hitting electrical appliances.

Even if they didn't explode, there was the risk of starting a fire.

Therefore, except for the more spacious areas of the mall, he had to resort to guns or knives in other places.

Qin Luo plunged into the horde of zombies, killing relentlessly. Wave after wave fell. Most of the time, he was a numb killing machine, but occasionally his mind would wander, wondering what his teammates were up to.

As the team split up to carry out their respective tasks, night began to fall.

Chen Xiaofei also became more alert. "Squad Leader, from now on, don't stray too far from me. Just stay right behind me."

Even knowing the little zombie had a killer move, the after-effects were still unclear.

Better not to let her use it if possible.

Xu Duoduo heard this and gave a short blow on her wooden whistle to indicate she understood. She looked up at the sky; the gloomy clouds seemed to have dispersed, and there was actually a moon tonight. It had been a long time since she'd seen one, and she was momentarily stunned.

When Chen Xiaofei called for her to keep up, she followed him to continue collecting items.

The two of them had already ransacked the stores near the mall, filling up much of the multi-faceted magic cube space again. Xu Duoduo felt reassured looking at it.

After finishing with the last pharmacy, Qin Luo's voice came through the earpiece, "Hey, hey, is everyone done? It's dark, return quickly."

Their agreed resting point was the mall, and clearly, Qin Luo had already secured it by himself.

Chen Xiaofei excitedly replied, "Roger that! The Squad Leader and I are on our way back."

Xu Duoduo also blew her whistle once.

They first met up with Bai Shu and his group, who were escorting survivors to the mall.

When Wang Weihu saw Chen Xiaofei, he called out, "There are still about a dozen survivors at the convenience store at the intersection ahead. I'll go get them; you two help escort these ones inside first!"

Chen Xiaofei indicated it was no problem, and Wang Weihu hurriedly went back.

Xu Duoduo looked at Bai Shu and Wang Weihu, covered in blood and grime from the zombies' black blood. Then she looked at herself and Chen Xiaofei, who only had dust and a little blood on them. Compared to the other two, they were clean.

Not easy at all!

When Bai Shu saw Xu Duoduo, he laughed, "As expected of our Squad Leader, everything you provide is so useful. Your cold tea really helped Old Wang and me soothe our throats today!"

Otherwise, their throats would have been hoarse from calling out to the survivors so many times. It was too difficult.

Last time too.

As a sniper, nothing could distract him no matter what he encountered.

Therefore, during each mission, he might get bitten by some insect without realizing it. Last time, the Squad Leader gave him some insect repellent powder, which directly saved him from suffering.

Although it wasn't a big deal for a grown man to endure a little discomfort, it was still nice to avoid it.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaofei strongly agreed, "The Squad Leader is like Doraemon, really. She has everything, and it's all very useful. It's very comfortable to go on missions with her!"

Bai Shu laughed when he heard this, "You'd better not let your Brother Qin hear that."

He'd get jealous.

Chen Xiaofei belatedly realized and chuckled, "I'm not afraid, I'm open and aboveboard!"

Combat teams and doctors have a similar kind of magic. When the people protecting you can chat and joke around, it proves that the current situation is safe enough.

Therefore, hearing the two of them joking with each other, the survivors also relaxed a bit.

Xu Duoduo noticed that many people were staring at her neck. She uncomfortably used her collar to cover it, really disliking people looking at her collar.

It made her feel like an outsider, although she was indeed a little zombie.

The people of C City were all very tall.

Looking at the survivors, they all seemed big and tall. Everyone was surprised to see such a small girl out on a mission.

They were more astonished than anything else.
