If only another wave of people would come with tanks to attack the fast-food restaurant! It would be a thousand deaths delivered right to my doorstep, a gift of great meaning despite its lightness! Luo Yunshi muttered to herself.
She put away the tank, and after setting a location, instantly returned to the flying vehicle.
At this moment, Ming Yi, holding the speaker, was still attacking the zombies running from the city with fireballs.
Although there were many ordinary zombies among them, nearly half were first-level zombies. Therefore, this bombardment still yielded quite a few crystal cores.
Luo Yunshi collected all the crystal cores on the ground. She then boarded the Golden Bell Shield Cloud Flying Vehicle.
...
On the other side, after Luo Yunshi and Ming Yi left, Kang Lian, holding a speaker, said to the crowd.
"Everyone! As you can all see, we have eminent figures helping us now.
The chance for all of you to survive is right before your eyes. In a moment, follow my command, and we will move together. Ordinary people, grab your clubs, and we will go kill monsters together. We will search the city for other survivors. Only by uniting can we survive."
Hearing this, some people suggested, "My lord, can't we just stay here? It's too dangerous outside. With this music player, the monsters can't get in, and we can still buy food."
"Yes, my lord, we will die if we go out. It's too dangerous outside, let's just stay here!"
Kang Lian shook his head, his expression serious. "It is indeed dangerous outside, but think about it, if we stay here, we will continue to be trapped here forever, just like before.
Moreover, this music player will be taken away by the eminent figures soon. After that, this place will still not be safe.
As for buying food, we need points to buy food. And the crystal cores used to exchange for points just now were obtained by killing those monsters, from their heads.
Do you still want to have no points and continue to feel hunger?
Do you not want to take advantage of the monsters being immobile to kill them and earn points?
By killing those monsters, we can obtain points, and we can survive. Think of your loved ones who were eaten by them. Do you also want to be eaten by monsters?
Only when all the people in our city gather together and fight against the monsters can we turn our hometown, Qing'an City, into a pure land.
And if you do not go together, we will leave soon, and this music player will be taken away. At that time, this place will not be safe. Will you still dare to stay here then?"
Kang Lian's words caused the people to waver completely. Soon, someone stood up.
"Lord Kang, I'll go."
"I will too."
"That's right, let's all go. Staying here is also death, it's better to listen to the lord and have a chance to survive."
The crowd echoed their agreement.
"Haha! Good! These are the fine men of Qing'an City. The crystal cores each of you kill monsters for later will all be yours.
The more monsters we kill, the more we can eat. Whether you want to starve or eat well depends on yourselves." Kang Lian smiled and encouraged them.
When the people heard this, they became even more excited. This meant that the more they killed, the more crystal cores they would get!
Instantly, the people became as if injected with adrenaline, filled with excitement.
Seeing this, Kang Lian was satisfied. He reminded everyone, "Everyone, our chance to survive is right before us. If you want to live, you must obey my command later."
"Yes, we will all listen to Lord Kang." The crowd said, picking up whatever was convenient in their hands.
A group of people walked out of the room.
This room was originally a grain storage warehouse, and it was very large.
Kang Lian glanced back at the room. He decided that this place would temporarily serve as a temporary shelter for the citizens. As for the future, he would make further plans.
Kang Lian instructed all the ability users to surround the ordinary people in the middle, forming a circle.
With the rabbit food truck following behind, nearly a thousand people moved forward bit by bit.
When the surrounding zombies were still, the nearly thousand people spread out. The ability users interwove among the ordinary people, rapidly killing within a 200-meter range.
When the ordinary people saw the terrifying zombies standing still, their courage grew significantly, and they dared to use clubs to kill zombies. At first, their movements were not skillful, but they gradually became more proficient.
Some timid people were so scared their legs went weak at the beginning. But seeing others kill zombies and get crystal cores, they also gained confidence and slowly got the hang of it.
Kang Lian felt much more at ease seeing this. If this continued, even ordinary people could survive.
He stood in the very center, holding the speaker, directing everyone to advance at their own pace.
Nearly a thousand people fighting zombies together made quite a commotion, and soon survivors hiding in their homes throughout the city heard the noise.
Kang Lian led the group street by street. They rested on the spot when they were tired. Some citizens even used the crystal cores from newly killed zombies to exchange for points to buy boxed lunches.
They paid no mind to the foul and rotten smells around them. A few people shared a boxed lunch, each taking a few bites, and quickly regained their strength.
Others saw this and followed suit.
In this way, Kang Lian led nearly a thousand people, alternating between attacking and resting, and truly rescued many surviving citizens.
The rescued citizens, upon hearing that killing monsters could earn points to buy food, gradually joined the thousand-person army of zombie killers.
Kang Lian's team grew larger and larger, and the speed of killing zombies also increased.
Everything was proceeding smoothly.
Luo Yunshi and Ming Yi returned to the city and saw this scene, and both felt a sense of relief.
Although the number of zombies in the city was still immense, as long as they persevered, they believed that before long, this place would be transformed into a pure land. Perhaps this would become the first base in this ancient post-apocalyptic world.
Luo Yunshi and Ming Yi also took another speaker and went to help.
With two speakers playing music together, even more zombies stopped moving.
The citizens became even more excited, and their speed in killing zombies increased.
Soon, a safe corner of the city emerged.
After more than an hour, the citizens were somewhat fatigued, but their hearts were filled with hope. As long as they could survive, no hardship would be in vain.
Seeing this, Kang Lian instructed the crowd, "Let's rest for a while. Half the people will rest, and half will continue to kill zombies. We will switch later."
The crowd responded with "Yes," and those who rested began to use points to buy food to replenish their energy.
The remaining people continued to kill zombies.
Luo Yunshi saw this and walked forward, saying, "The two of us will leave for now. The food truck and one speaker will be temporarily left here to help you. If you want to contact me, you can communicate with the rabbit food truck."
"Thank you both. We are immensely grateful." Kang Lian clasped his fists.
Luo Yunshi waved her hand and took away one speaker. "It's just a small effort, nothing much. Then we'll withdraw for now. Contact me if anything comes up."
"Yes, miss, please go."
"Mhm." Luo Yunshi said, and then, with Ming Yi, they boarded the flying vehicle and quickly disappeared before everyone's eyes.
