The team walked three to four hundred meters before encountering the newly mutated black ink tree.
But Wu Mo Shu didn't waste much time. The team paused for less than three minutes and then continued to move forward.
Because Liang Xinzhong led people to clear about a kilometer of road here yesterday, the number of zombies within this kilometer was greatly reduced.
Some were brought here by a small number of fleeing people or some who sneaked out from the floors on both sides.
These zombies were attracted by the loud noise of the tanks moving, and they all rushed towards the two tanks, scratching in vain at the tanks.
The tank's traveling speed has not changed at all, and has always been consistent with the team's marching speed of 7.8 kilometers per hour.
Zhao Xuan's four squadron leaders led their respective teams to harvest these zombies calmly. Zhang Xiaocai led a group of veteran team members to form a separate team, and they were also in the battle ranks.
Zhao Xuan himself holds a pistol in one hand and a rifle in the other, ready to provide remote support to team members in critical situations at any time.
Behind Zhao Xuan, Wu Lanying and the loader No. 180 who had just caught up were nervously harvesting zombie crystal cores and continuously sending the crystal cores to Zhao Xuan for storage.
At this time, there was only one person following Zhao Xuan, the noble girl Chi Jingjing.
"Captain Zhao, do you really not care about them?" Chi Jingjing said with envy as she watched Qin Feng show off her power in front, pointing to the tall buildings on both sides of the road.
After Chi Jingjing and Yang Hongmei were brought into Zhao Xuan's team by Qin Feng, Yang Hongmei went to the finance team. Yang Hongmei originally invited Chi Jingjing to go with her because Chi Jingjing is also an accounting major. But Chi Jingjing didn't know what she was thinking. She insisted on following Zhao Xuan's team, but refused to join the team and become a combat member.
Because of Qin Feng and Yang Hongmei's reputation, and knowing that Chi Jingjing had water powers to protect her, her safety was guaranteed, so Zhao Xuan did not drive her away, but just told her not to run around.
Moreover, Zhao Xuan also gave her a long knife whittled directly from high-quality steel.
Now after hearing Chi Jingjing's words, Zhao Xuan glanced casually to the left and right.
In the tall buildings on both sides of the road, many people opened their windows and waved to Zhao Xuan's team for help.
"We are very pressed for time now and don't have time to rescue them. Besides, there are no zombies wherever we go. They don't dare to go downstairs themselves, so who can blame them?" Zhao Xuan said casually.
"Captain Zhao, don't you know that there are zombies blocking the road in many corridors? Just like Hongmei and I were blocked by zombies in the corridors." Chi Jingjing said with her eyes wide open.
"So what? Chi Jingjing, you don't know that my team now has more than 300 combatants, 300 or 40 technicians, and close to 300 skilled workers. That's 700 people. Including the family members of these people, there are at least 700 people. The food and drink of these 1,400 people fall completely on me. Yes, I have space powers, and some materials are indeed stored in the space. But my space Not to mention it is very small, and it does not contain enough supplies. If I spend time now to rescue these people who are calling for help, and do not get enough food and oil back as soon as possible, how will the more than a thousand people who are counting on me survive? Do you want me to do this for these people who were originally People who have nothing to do with me put more than a thousand people who have followed me into hunger? What kind of truth is this?" Zhao Xuan said lightly.
Chi Jingjing's face suddenly turned red and she was speechless.
"Besides, even if I really rescue these people, how will I place them? They also need food and drink, so where will I find it for them?" Zhao Xuan continued.
Chi Jingjing's face became redder and redder.
Obviously, she also knew at this time that she was not thinking carefully.
"Captain Zhao, you are such a stingy person! When someone says something casually, you say so many words without hesitation. Don't you know that she is a girl and needs a man to be courteous?" Chi Jingjing's eyes suddenly turned red and she was very upset. He said aggrievedly.
"Tsk..."
Seeing Chi Jingjing's aggrieved look, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but chew his teeth and then fell silent.
Are all women like this? If you can't say anything, just cheat.
Fortunately, Xiaocai is not like this. Zhao Xuan couldn't help but feel lucky.
Seeing that Zhao Xuan stopped talking, Chi Jingjing stuck out her tongue and made a face.
This lady is a loser but not a loser. Chi Jingjing thought secretly proudly.
However, although Zhao Xuan has made it clear that he will not enter the floor to rescue people now, and it is true that many people are blocked by zombies and dare not go downstairs, there are still a few brave people who risk their lives either alone or in groups to fight in the corridors. The zombies inside started fighting, and successfully killed the zombies blocking the way, and ran to the safe road opened by Zhao Xuan's team.
Some of those who escaped left on their own, and many more directly asked Zhao Xuan for shelter.
Zhao Xuan would not look twice at those who left on their own. Because that's someone else's right.
He would not forcefully recruit people like the Iron Sword Martial Arts School, and then use force to rule and suppress them.
As for those who have made a request for shelter to him, Zhao Xuan will take them in directly as long as he finds out that the requester has fought with zombies, and then gives the requester a long knife to let them go forward and chop the zombies.
Zhao Xuan now stores thousands of long knives made of high-quality steel in his space. After all, once the machine and equipment are started, it is not easy to make simple knives too quickly.
For those who have never fought zombies, he will send them to the team led by Wu Lanying at the back.
When the team walked thousands of meters and reached an area that Liang Xinzhong had not expanded to, the number of temporary combatants reached forty.
At this time, the number of zombies running toward the tank from all over the front suddenly increased.
Zhao Xuan ordered the two tanks to slow down to avoid attracting too many zombies, thereby reducing the pressure on the combat team members.
"Those who have just joined the team, please step back." Zhao Xuan suddenly spoke.
The forty or so people who had just joined immediately turned back.
"I have seen your fighting courage. However, the density of zombies has increased greatly now. This is your first time fighting zombies. Without someone to lead you, you may easily suffer casualties. You need to eat something and rest first." Zhao Xuan said.
The more than forty people were suddenly confused. It is true that many of them are now thirsty and hungry.
In order to prove themselves just now, they had to step forward and carefully fight the zombies, and now they really needed to eat, drink and rest.
But where is the food?
Zhao Xuan smiled slightly and waved his hand, and a pile of bags of food and drinking water immediately appeared on the ground.
"The legendary doomsday skill - space power!"
A group of people were stunned.
"You eat and drink these things first. I will arrange for someone to lead you right away." Zhao Xuan said.
"Gangzi, Jianjun, Ke Wen, Shu Dayong, you come back first." Zhao Xuan then looked forward and shouted.
