Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 90 Temptation, Tug-of-War
Those who could drive slowly drove, while those who couldn't followed alongside, clearing zombies from the road.
Progressing at a snail's pace, they arrived at the farmers market after half an hour.
To be precise, this was an agricultural wholesale market, not a small vegetable market.
Small cold storage facilities, wholesale markets, grain and oil stores, condiment shops, agricultural products, and live chickens, ducks, and fish were all sold here.
Correspondingly, there were probably a thousand zombies here.
Moreover, the zombie density was relatively concentrated, often with a dozen zombies gathered together.
The four-person team method wouldn't work; using spells against a dozen zombies at once made it difficult to dodge through prediction and positioning.
Fighting head-on would lead to casualties.
Chen Luo smiled and said, "Faced with this situation, you must learn to use luring and constant kiting."
"Jiang Feng, you go and attract the zombies, luring them out in batches."
Jiang Feng grimaced. He, the dignified Swift Wind Swordsman, was stuck doing the job of pulling monsters.
For Jiang Feng's safety, Mi Li added buffs to him.
Jiang Feng entered the market. A group of seven or eight zombies on the periphery saw Jiang Feng and hurriedly chased after him.
As long as he maintained a distance of more than 20 meters from the zombies, they couldn't harm Jiang Feng; low-level zombies didn't have that kind of range.
Level 1 zombies couldn't even catch up to level 1 survivors, let alone Jiang Feng, who was a level 2 wind-type cultivator. He just needed to control the distance.
The zombies' speeds also varied; as they ran, clear gaps appeared between them.
Ten members waited, ready and in position. As the zombies at the front arrived, two members focused their fire and instantly killed them.
Normally, level 1 zombies had a little bit of intelligence; seeing so many people, they would retreat.
However, their IQ was limited; they believed their brothers were right behind them.
*We have plenty of people too, what are we afraid of?*
The result was like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandpa one by one.
This method wasn't easy to use. First, the area had to be open and spacious; otherwise, too many obstacles would affect their speed.
Second, there couldn't be any zombies nearby; otherwise, they would be surrounded from the front and back, leaving them nowhere to run.
Third, they couldn't have too much bad luck and encounter zombies that ran faster than them.
It also couldn't be used to deal with large groups of zombies; there would always be a few zombies that ran almost as fast.
Chen Luo said, "In the future, if you encounter slightly more zombies than you, you can use this method. If there are too many, don't use it, and don't blame me if you die."
The crowd nodded, their eyes shining.
In fact, this method wasn't brilliant; anyone who had been in contact with zombies for a while could naturally think of it.
Several level 2 members with good speed attracted zombies separately. Soon, they cleared out hundreds of zombies on the periphery of the farmers market.
Only the zombies in the center of the farmers market and on the other three sides remained.
Chen Luo said, "I will personally lure the zombies below."
Chen Luo didn't dare let Jiang Feng go; otherwise, if he encountered a mutated zombie, he would be instantly killed.
Now, as a level 5 cultivator, Chen Luo's maximum speed per second was close to forty meters per second, even though Chen Luo wasn't a lightning-type or wind-type cultivator.
In his previous life, Chen Luo had only heard people say that at this time, there was an earth-type mutated zombie in the farmers market, with a strength of around level 4, and possibly level 5.
But it couldn't be level 6.
Chen Luo first went to the area selling pork, beef, and mutton. This space was five or six hundred square meters, with about eighty or ninety zombies.
As soon as they saw Chen Luo, several zombies immediately chased after him.
Unlike the periphery, as soon as they saw a zombie move, the zombies crowded in this area also started to move.
It was like a catfish entering a pond.
All the zombies chased after Chen Luo. Seeing this situation, the zombies in the adjacent agricultural products area, although they hadn't seen Chen Luo, also rushed over to join in the fun.
Chen Luo took off running.
For Chen Luo, these zombies were nothing, but killing them all wouldn't serve the purpose of training the members.
In the agricultural products area, an old farmer zombie, wearing a straw hat and sitting on a stool, seemed to still be selling vegetables. Hearing the commotion, he also ran out.
He ran very fast, even a little faster than Jiang Feng.
Chen Luo was deliberately slowing down; otherwise, the zombies wouldn't play with him.
With nearly two hundred zombies chasing him, Chen Luo didn't immediately notice the old farmer zombie hidden in the zombie horde.
Suddenly, Chen Luo felt movement behind him. Looking back, he saw a zombie with extraordinary speed rapidly approaching him, about to catch up.
The old farmer zombie launched three earth spikes, arranged in a line, almost sealing off all of Chen Luo's movements.
Instead of being surprised, Chen Luo was delighted. *So you showed up so quickly?*
Chen Luo immediately crouched down, dodging the spikes, and began to condense the Void Blade.
Three more spikes came, and Chen Luo used Void Walk, instantly moving behind him.
Otherwise, if the old farmer zombie hid in the zombie horde, he would inevitably have to use Void Walk.
Void Walk not only dodged the old farmer zombie's attack but also brought him behind it while it was completely defenseless.
The old farmer zombie didn't even have time to use Earth Shield before Chen Luo slashed its head off with a sword.
Chen Luo, carrying the still twitching head, continued to run forward.
A level 4 zombie was completely helpless in front of Chen Luo.
More than two hundred zombies chased after Chen Luo, with more than forty zombies moving at roughly the same speed.
If Jiang Feng dared to lure such a zombie horde, he would kill his teammates.
Everyone was stunned to see Chen Luo lure so many zombies.
Chen Luo shouted, "Everyone run! Use your speed advantage to shake them off, and prepare your spells! Turn around and aim roughly, then throw and run, don't stop!"
Chen Luo bypassed the members, and the zombies behind him naturally began to chase the others.
Everyone ran, maintaining a little distance from each other.
Currently, the zombies couldn't catch up with them at all.
As soon as the spells were prepared, some people threw them directly backward; anyway, there were many zombies, and even a blind cat could catch a dead mouse.
No one dared to stop, at most a 0.3-second gap.
The zombies couldn't react in time to counterattack; by the time they wanted to counterattack, the members had already started running again.
The zombies forcibly launched spells, but they couldn't hit anyone; the distance wasn't enough.
As long as they maintained this rhythm and there were no zombies blocking the road ahead, there wouldn't be any danger.
The surrounding zombies had already been cleared.
More than two hundred zombies were easily wiped out.
Everyone showed happy smiles, some even excited. As long as they worked hard to train this method, no matter how many zombies there were, it wouldn't be enough for them to kill!
Chen Luo shook his head. *The premise is that you have to keep up with the pace of the zombies' evolution.*
Most survivors simply couldn't keep up with the speed of the zombies' evolution.
Besides, without Chen Luo killing the old farmer zombie, no matter what method you used, you could only run, and how many you could escape would depend on luck.

Even if I don't sleep, I will write the fourth chapter.
