"Bang! Bang bang!"
The moment Ye Feng landed, he kicked several zombies away. Then, he casually picked up a broken cement utility pole that had fallen and was pressing on an armored vehicle, and swung it at the horde.
"Bang~ Pfft~ Pfft~"
The utility pole smashed zombie parts all over the place.
"Bang bang!~"
"Kekeke~ Roar~ Bang~"
"Clang~ Bang~!"
After a series of loud noises, a small area was cleared within the zombie swarm where Ye Feng had landed.
"Holy shit, who the hell is this lunatic, jumping into a sea of zombies?"
"That kid is pretty strong, already Gold rank one, and showing signs of breaking through!"
"That little girl's combat power is also ridiculous. Could she be some old monster who took a strength serum or something?"
...
On the city wall, many people started discussing after seeing Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao jump into the zombie horde.
"Why is that man so cruel? He's killed so many zombies. Zombies are also life forms... Ah~!"
On the city wall, a woman adorned with gold and silver, with some beauty, exclaimed halfway through her sentence. She was then pushed down by someone.
"Ah~!"
"Let go of me... Help..."
"Roar, Sizzle~ Pfft~"
"Ah!~"
...
After falling into the zombie horde, the woman screamed as she was torn apart and eaten by the zombies.
"Stupid idiot, keeping her around would have endangered us sooner or later!"
The strong man who pushed the richly adorned woman off the city wall clapped his hands. "While that kid is distracting the zombie horde, let's go down now, climb to that tall building, and jump across the rooftops..."
As the strong man spoke, some people were already using ropes to descend the city wall, and they were moving quite fast.
Clearly, he wasn't the only one with this idea!
Ye Feng ignored the exploration teams who were taking the opportunity to leave. He charged and crashed, killing a large number of zombies, and tore open a gap in the zombie encirclement.
Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao had already gotten onto the off-road motorcycle, powered by arcane energy, and was preparing to charge through the gap Ye Feng had opened.
"Xiao Xiao, watch out for radiation!"
Ye Feng threw the radiation detector over. He didn't want to accidentally stumble into an area with high radioactive dosage later.
"Okay!~"
Xiao Xiao caught the radiation detector and quickly put it in her satchel.
The next second, she twisted the throttle on the handlebars, intending to break through the rapidly closing gap in the zombie encirclement.
"Ya!~"
Suddenly, Xiao Xiao cried out. The rear wheel of the off-road motorcycle spun too fast, causing the front wheel to lift. The entire motorcycle flipped over in a showy maneuver. Xiao Xiao wobbled for a moment before regaining control.
"Whoa~"
"I forgot to tell Xiao Xiao."
Ye Feng suddenly remembered that it was Xiao Xiao's first time riding a motorcycle, and he had forgotten to give her any training beforehand. Xiao Xiao must have seen him ride before and was imitating him.
"Bang bang~ Crack~"
"Roar~ Pfft~ Bang!"
Ye Feng, holding the thick cement utility pole, once again tore open a gap in the zombie encirclement. Xiao Xiao, having slightly familiarized herself with the off-road motorcycle, found an opening and charged through.
"Vroom~ Vroom vroom~"
A short while later, Xiao Xiao rode the off-road motorcycle back. She shouted to Ye Feng from across the zombie horde, "Big brother, I've checked. There's no radiation in this entire area, and I've found a good spot for us to rest!"
"Oh, okay. Xiao Xiao, continue scouting the surroundings and keep an eye on those exploration teams!"
As he said this, Ye Feng grabbed the cement utility pole and charged into the zombie horde again.
"Okay!~"
Xiao Xiao replied, then rode the off-road motorcycle, skillfully weaving through the surging zombies, occasionally taking down a wave or two.
"Bang~! Crack!"
After Ye Feng swept away another wave of zombies with the cement utility pole, he leaped to higher ground. Seeing that Xiao Xiao was not in any danger, he jumped back into the zombie horde.
"Roar~ Bang~ Bang~"
"Crack~ Crack~ Pfft~"
...
As Ye Feng moved, waves and waves of zombies fell.
Ye Feng was no longer fighting like he did before reaching Gold rank. Instead, he was integrating that mysterious set of movements into his combat. This was a new training method he had developed after experimenting for some time.
Although this combat style placed a significant burden on his body, making him more easily fatigued, and sometimes his movements looked awkward, redundant, or even a bit silly...
Ye Feng was very happy!
Because this training direction had greatly accelerated his strength enhancement. Especially in this human forbidden zone filled with zombies, he didn't have to worry about the consumption of usable points at all.
...
As evening fell,
On the rooftop of a hundred-meter-tall building,
"Slurp!~ Slurp~"
Ye Feng was wolfing down the dried meat and scallop noodles that Xiao Xiao had just cooked, taking bites of braised chicken legs intermittently.
He ate very quickly, and soon a large bowl of noodles was gone.
"Big brother must have been really hungry."
Looking at the nearly empty noodle pot and the scattered packaging of braised chicken legs and beef jerky on the ground, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but mumble.
She had anticipated that Ye Feng's strenuous training would lead to a huge appetite and had specially prepared enough noodles for more than ten people. She hadn't expected it to still not be enough.
"Xiao Xiao, you can get something to eat yourself later."
As he spoke, Ye Feng scooped the last remaining noodles from the large pot into his own bowl.
"Oh, no need. I'm not very hungry."
Xiao Xiao waved her hand at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng didn't say much and continued eating the noodles in his bowl with some shredded pork floss bread.
"Phew~!"
After finishing the last bowl of noodles, Ye Feng let out a light sigh. "This new training method consumes an incredible amount of stamina... I'm already this hungry after only half a day."
"Huh..."
Suddenly, Ye Feng's eyes lit up.
He scanned his [Personal Information] panel and discovered that he had already been promoted to Gold rank two.
"So sleepy~"
After a full meal, Ye Feng felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, his eyelids even feeling heavy.
"Big brother, it's very safe here. I've set up traps in several places, so the zombies can't get up!"
"If you're tired, you can rest directly!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao immediately spoke to Ye Feng.
"Okay."
Ye Feng walked towards the tent, turned on the solar air conditioner, and lay directly on the soft mat. In a short while, he was fast asleep.
After finishing her meal, Xiao Xiao cleaned up and began to stand guard around the area.
...
The next day,
Ye Feng, who was usually an early riser, woke up near noon. He stretched, and a series of cracking sounds came from his joints.
"Keng keng keng!~~!"
Ye Feng frowned slightly because he heard a series of very dense knocking sounds from outside.
"Xiao Xiao, what's with these dense knocking sounds?"
Ye Feng walked out of the tent and asked Xiao Xiao, who was at the edge of the rooftop.
"Big brother, the knocking sounds are made by me, on that building across the way!"
"The air conditioner's sound was too loud last night, attracting a lot of zombies. I found something like a school bell on the building opposite and rang it to lure the zombies away!"
"The thing I bought from the [Trading Channel] yesterday turned out to be useful!"
As she spoke, Xiao Xiao pointed to a vibrating bell hanging on the opposite building.
"This rope... Xiao Xiao, you climbed over using this anchor rope to install the vibrating bell?"
Ye Feng saw a nylon rope tied to the rooftop and looked at Xiao Xiao, whose eyes had slight bloodshot streaks, with some surprise. "Xiao Xiao, you didn't sleep at all last night, did you?"
"I slept a little, big brother, don't worry!"
Xiao Xiao waved her hand and smiled sweetly.
"You've worked hard!"
Ye Feng squeezed Xiao Xiao's fair cheek.
Xiao Xiao's face flushed slightly. She was very happy to receive Ye Feng's acknowledgment.
