Chapter 85 Tianxing Shopping Mall

"Fatty! Tianxing Shopping Mall is just ahead, wanna do some shopping?"

Gray Bear walked ahead of Darkfire, easily taking down a few zombies rushing over, while pointing to a shopping mall on the right side ahead.

"Definitely! This is the first large commercial district we've encountered, we have to loot it thoroughly!!!"

The Fatty, sitting on the roof of the car, immediately nodded:

"That's Tianxing Commercial Area, not just Tianxing Shopping Mall, there are many other shopping places nearby. We'll check them all out later. I still have plenty of space in my room!"

Because they were clearing the city while collecting supplies, Li Chenzhou's team now had a considerable amount of resources stored. Not to mention just a few of them, even if tens of thousands of people came, they wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for two or three months.

Fortunately, they had Darkblood, this space combat vehicle. Li Chenzhou also spent a lot of Slaughter Points to specifically expand a huge warehouse. Otherwise, even two trains wouldn't be able to hold all the supplies they collected.

Moreover, after several large-scale scavenging trips, Gray Bear and Fatty and the others now quite enjoyed this kind of free "shopping". Every time they entered such a place, they seemed quite excited, like diligent ants, carrying all the usable resources back to the warehouse in the car, trip after trip.

However, because Li Chenzhou and his team were circling around the outskirts of the city, clearing the city little by little, there weren't any particularly large shopping malls in the early stages, because these shopping malls were all concentrated in the commercial districts in the city center.

And now, this Tianxing Shopping Mall was the first commercial district they had encountered, after all, they were already within the Third Ring Road.

Li Chenzhou didn't stop them from scavenging, but he required these guys to only take up to one-third of the supplies, leaving two-thirds untouched, no matter which store they were collecting from, whether it was a convenience store, a large supermarket, or even a shopping mall.

This was what Li Chenzhou was leaving for the later survivors!

Although most of the survivors had now escaped the city and gathered together, building many bases around the city, none of these bases were self-sufficient. In the early days of the apocalypse, all the survivors still had to rely on the supplies in the city to survive the first six months!

If Li Chenzhou and his team scavenged all the supplies, the other survivors wouldn't find enough supplies when they entered the city, and their bases wouldn't be able to hold out until the later stages.

Because Li Chenzhou could use Slaughter Points to expand the internal space of Darkblood, he could really move all the supplies away if he wanted to, but of course Li Chenzhou wouldn't do such a short-sighted thing.

In the early stages, he would also actively help some bases to overcome difficulties. In the end, he still hoped that as many humans as possible would survive.

Gray Bear and the others had now trained themselves. In the zombie-infested city, they all looked relaxed, as if they were strolling down the street. After more than ten days of slaughter, they had now completely adapted to this apocalypse.

Even Fatty and Tian Ya felt that the apocalypse was the most suitable world for them. Now, even if they were given the opportunity to return to the world of the past, they probably wouldn't want it.

"We are now on the edge of the Third Ring Road, about ten kilometers away from the most central area of the city. I estimate that we will need at least six or seven more days to truly enter the city center area!"

At this time, Duan Lei and Li Chenzhou were in the living room, looking at the Qing City map projected on the coffee table. Duan Lei reached out and drew a circle in the central area of the city:

"This is the location of Leopard and the others, which is the shopping mall we broke out from before. It is only three kilometers away from the city center. According to the disappearance ratio of the zombies, no matter who is behind the gunman, they should have already contacted Leopard!"

"Mm!"

Li Chenzhou nodded in agreement. With so many fewer zombies, the scale of the zombie tide alone might cover an area of three or four kilometers. If the gunman and the creature behind him were in the central area of the city, they would definitely collide with Leopard's horde of corpses.

However, it was unknown whether they eventually destroyed Leopard, or absorbed Leopard as well! Turning him into one of them.

"Anyway, no matter what, we just need to maintain our current state and slowly clear towards the city center!"

Li Chenzhou said:

"That way, even if we encounter them, we will have enough space to retreat!"

"Right! In the current situation, we can collect supplies while killing zombies to strengthen our team. As time goes on, we will only become stronger and stronger!"

Duan Lei nodded, and then subconsciously looked at the top of his head – of course, he couldn't see anything.

In fact, Duan Lei wanted to see the new weapons mounted on the Darkfire car. In the past few days of slaughter, most of the Slaughter Points obtained were used by Li Chenzhou to equip Darkfire. After all, because Li Chenzhou suddenly fainted before, their car was surrounded by a group of rats, and they almost got wiped out!

To prevent this situation, Li Chenzhou spared no expense, spending more than 10,000 Slaughter Points to increase the defense system of Darkfire and mount weapons.

The Darkfire car body had a total of eight weapon mounting positions, six combat bunkers, and five combat positions. The combat positions didn't need to be considered, because they were actually just a space teleportation point.

And the eight weapon mounting positions and six combat bunkers could all be strengthened using Slaughter Points. The difference between these two positions was that the weapon mounting positions could be controlled by Number One. That is to say, after the weapon was mounted, they didn't need to go over and operate it. If they wanted to use it, they could directly order Number One. Li Chenzhou could even control the mounted weapons through his own thoughts.

Such weapons were naturally convenient to use, and because they were mounted on the car body, they were also heavy weapons, and their power was considerable. The only downside was that the price was very expensive. Even though Li Chenzhou and his team had obtained more than 20,000 Slaughter Points by clearing the city for so many days, they had only mounted weapons on four of the eight mounting positions, and they were still relatively ordinary ones!

As for the combat bunkers, they were like strongholds. People could shoot outwards from inside. These bunkers could also be strengthened, such as adding some bulletproof plates, or other auxiliary combat equipment, and so on.

However, these combat bunkers were only suitable for ranged combat, not for close combat, so Li Chenzhou hadn't arranged them for the time being. Among them, the only real ranged fighter was Gray Bear, and the others were all melee fighters.

Moreover, due to the weakness of ranged combat in the later stages of the apocalypse, coupled with the fact that the weapons mounted on Darkblood were even more powerful than sniper rifles, even Li Chenzhou's Death Howl was inferior, there was no need for anyone to engage in ranged combat.

After strengthening the defense of the Darkblood space combat vehicle, they could actually walk sideways in the city now. They didn't even need to go out, the four machine guns mounted on the car body could destroy approaching zombies.

However, the ammunition for those machine guns also required Slaughter Points, and they were expensive. The cheapest bullets cost one Slaughter Point each. If they were used to kill ordinary zombies, they could only break even. Therefore, Li Chenzhou would not easily use those weapons unless it was a critical moment...
