Finally, Liu Xiaohui’s storage space had only expanded a little.
The rest had to be handled by Yun Xiaoxiao.
Just as they were preparing to meet up with Lu Chen, Mu Yang and Ayi’s group emerged.
Knowing that Yun Xiaoxiao and the others were about to handle serious business, Ayi and her companions offered to help.
But Yun Xiaoxiao refused.
For one, their offensive abilities were few and weak, so they wouldn’t be of much practical help.
Secondly, Ayi’s mother and younger brother had just recovered and were still very weak, needing someone to care for them.
As for helping, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
It’s just that the occasions for their assistance would be different.
“Then we’ll go home and pack up, waiting for you at the spot where you set up the tents before.”
“Alright.”
After Uncle Almu pointed them in a direction, Yun Xiaoxiao and the others immediately flew the plane that way.
Soon, they saw the full view of Liang City.
The buildings here weren’t particularly tall, mostly just a few low-rise floors.
The highest was only about eleven or twelve stories.
However, the city covered a vast area.
From a distance, they spotted Lu Chen and the others outside the city.
The pit had already been dug, waiting for Yun Xiaoxiao’s arrival.
Due to geographical reasons, Lu Chen had led people to dig pits in all four directions—east, south, west, and north—of Liang City.
Liu Xiaohui took out some gas canisters, and Lu Chen immediately started arranging them with the others.
The following process was similar to what they had done in Yi City.
Play music, lure the zombies, blow them up, kill them...
Earth Traveler Sun and the three hundred or so people were initially terrified, hesitating to move forward.
But under the pressure of Yun Xiaoxiao’s ferocity, they reluctantly entered the city in the end.
Faced with the oncoming horde of zombies, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and fight for their lives.
As the saying goes, you never know your true potential until you’re pushed to the brink.
To avoid being bitten to death by zombies, they all performed far beyond their usual limits.
Of course, Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t completely abandon them.
If they were truly in danger, she would step in to help.
After all, having so many “helpers” was valuable, and losing them would be a shame.
However, if anyone harbored ill intentions or tried to escape, she wouldn’t hesitate to send them for a “close encounter” with the zombies.
By the end, the survivors couldn’t even count how many times they had teetered on the edge of death.
When it was all over, they all collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.
They sighed: It’s good to be alive!
The battle for Liang City ended earlier than expected.
That was because, around 3 PM that afternoon, a large group of people arrived to help.
There were about five or six hundred of them.
After the battle, they learned that these people were survivors from a base near Liang City.
They had been hiding in a large mountain behind the city.
Initially, they had come to investigate after hearing explosions.
But upon seeing Yun Xiaoxiao and the others slaughtering the zombies in the city, they decided to join in.
The zombies in the city had always been a threat to them.
Now that someone was dealing with their biggest problem, they naturally stepped forward.
Upon learning that Yun Xiaoxiao and the others had formed a Zombie-Slaying Army, traveling from city to city to kill zombies, they were filled with admiration.
Their base didn’t have communication equipment like radios, so they had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
“Can we join? The... Zombie-Slaying Army?”
A girl suddenly stepped forward.
“Are you crazy!”
Another quickly grabbed her.
“Do you know what that means?”
The girl broke free. “What could it mean? I think they’re cool, really cool! I want to be like them, going to different places to kill zombies.”
“You think this is a game? People could die at any moment! Are you stupid?”
“So what if people die? People die every day now. Even if I die, I want to die gloriously, die with purpose.”
The girl’s face was full of longing, her eyes shining.
“You’ve watched too many war movies! This isn’t the time for heroism.”
“I’m not advocating heroism. Aren’t they doing something great and meaningful?
Look, the massive horde of zombies that’s been troubling us in the city has been wiped out by them.
We can return to the city and live again.
We won’t have to live in fear every day when we go out.
Isn’t that good?
I’m sure there are many places where people are living under the shadow of zombies. If I can follow them and kill those zombies, saving those people, I’d feel amazing!
Even if I die, it’s fine. Eighteen years later, I’ll be back as a hero!”
The girl’s eyes sparkled, and she smiled as she spoke.
The other person seemed convinced, pursing their lips.
“A hero? You’re a girl!”
“Hehe, I was just using that as a metaphor. It’s not important.”
The girl blinked playfully, then looked in Yun Xiaoxiao’s direction.
“Look, even a little girl has such courage, caring for the world, selflessly contributing, unafraid of death.
I’m so much older than her. Shouldn’t I join too?”
Yun Xiaoxiao, standing nearby: ...Not necessarily...
Yun Xiaoxiao took a closer look at the girl.
Her name was Zhang Piaopiao, and she was very cute, with a lively appearance.
Her eyes always seemed to be smiling, naturally cheerful.
Just looking at her made you feel full of energy.
Her ability was special—Absolute Domain.
Within her domain, the enemy’s attack power would weaken.
The stronger she was, the more the enemy’s abilities would diminish.
Meanwhile, she could use the power granted by her domain to attack.
Yun Xiaoxiao raised her eyes slightly.
She remembered that in her past life, there was a powerful user of Absolute Domain, and it was indeed a woman.
However, she had never met her.
People with such abilities were rare.
Could this Zhang Piaopiao be the one who almost made it into the top ten of the Apocalypse’s Wolf Rankings in her past life?
The argument between Zhang Piaopiao and the other person was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Soon, quite a few people stepped forward, expressing their desire to join the Zombie-Slaying Army.
The growth of their team was naturally welcomed by Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.
Just as everyone was preparing to head to Ren City, Zhang Piaopiao walked up to Yun Xiaoxiao, her eyes smiling.
“Little sister, I saw how amazing you were earlier. Though I’m not very strong, I’d like to spar with you. What do you say?”
Yun Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then didn’t respond.
Instead, she looked toward Earth Traveler Sun and the others, then strode over.
As Yun Xiaoxiao approached, Earth Traveler Sun shrank back, quickly explaining.
“Uh, I... I wasn’t planning to run, I just...”
“Lend me your axe.”
“Huh? What? The axe?”
