The spherical zombie ball spun rapidly, like a high-speed gear, crashing through the narrow corridor and rolling swiftly towards Yun Xiaoxiao and her companions.
Standing at the front, Yun Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen wore extremely cold expressions. Their eyes narrowed as they acted almost simultaneously, one after the other.
Ice shot forth!
Purple lightning exploded with a boom!
The ice had just frozen the zombie ball in place when the purple lightning immediately split it in half.
Their actions, though sequential, were perfectly coordinated!
Instantly, four semicircular unidentified objects trembled in place, like two round watermelons forcibly cut in half, still wrapped in a layer of ice.
Grandma Qin leaned forward to take a peek.
Then she wrinkled her already wrinkled face and stepped back, wearing an expression that said, "Oh, so that's how it is."
Fat Uncle glanced indifferently before averting his gaze, seeming uninvolved in the matters around him.
Qin Zhi didn't even look, instead staring proudly at Yun Xiaoxiao the whole time.
The young boy Nan Yi crouched down, wanting to tap it with his finger to test its hardness, but Mu Yang pulled him back.
"Don't touch it carelessly."
Although it was frozen, it had just been split in half, and blood was still on it. If one wasn't careful and got infected, it would be disastrous.
"It's getting dark soon, let's speed up," Mu Yang glanced outside the corridor.
Everyone nodded in unison.
With the cooperation from the previous two floors, the group had formed a rapport, naturally increasing their speed.
On this floor, possibly due to locked doors, there were several who had starved to death inside, while the rest had either turned into zombies or left empty rooms.
As for the doctors' offices and nurses' stations, like the previous floors, there was no one.
Yun Xiaoxiao, as before, took the opportunity to collect any usable items like medicines, computers, and documents.
The reason she had become stingy again was because that Little Di fellow didn't finish explaining things!
Previously, it said clearing one residential area would reward ten identical areas.
Indeed, that was true.
It rewarded ten identical, brand new areas.
And it even included basic equipment like beds, sofas, coffee tables, air conditioners, and so on.
So, she instinctively believed that for subsequent tasks, she wouldn't need to specifically collect resources from within the mission, as the system would automatically give her all the basic facilities associated with that task!
Of course, this wasn't the only reason for her firm belief.
There was also the subsequent street mission, where the system similarly provided her with the basic resources inside.
For example, various facilities in hotels, equipment in gyms, gear in KTVs...
As for some small, used items like clothes, soap, towels, mops, and such, she naturally didn't care about those. If they were gone, so be it.
She wasn't the same person she was at the beginning.
She was now considered a small wealthy lady, with broadened horizons.
But who knew, the school mission would be different!
Little Di said clearing one school would reward a complete set of schools.
Yes, it did reward that.
It even came with desks and chairs.
But...
Where were the textbooks? The teaching aids? The books in the library?
There was nothing!
How could classes be conducted in a school without these things?
Although she had never attended school, she wasn't completely ignorant. Even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had at least seen a pig run.
Besides, not attending school didn't mean she hadn't read books or lacked knowledge. She at least knew these basics.
She only discovered this when she took the opportunity to mentally probe the school inside her space while they were lying low at the hospital entrance!
That's why she was worried that Little Di would be unreasonable again, only rewarding the hospital building without the computers, documents, medicines, and medical equipment.
Especially the medicines and medical equipment!
Was an empty shell of a hospital supposed to invite patients in for tea and a chat, where everyone just smiles at each other?
To avoid this blunder, she thought it best to collect these items first.
If they weren't rewarded, she would be prepared.
If they were rewarded, even better, she would have double.
It was a win-win situation.
After collecting everything, Yun Xiaoxiao opened the closed door.
As soon as she opened it, she saw Qin Zhi with teary eyes, looking pitiful.
Yun Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Nini!" Qin Zhi immediately brightened up upon seeing Yun Xiaoxiao emerge.
Mu Yang looked a bit helpless, "She was still afraid of losing you and insisted on going inside to find you."
Uh...
This was the third time already...
On the second and third floors, she had reacted the same way.
As soon as she saw Yun Xiaoxiao disappear, she would worry frantically, fearing she might never return.
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled gently at Qin Zhi.
"Don't worry, I'm back."
"Mm-hmm, Nini shouldn't leave Mommy~" Qin Zhi immediately cheered up.
Yun Xiaoxiao then noticed carefully that the woman's eyes were very beautiful when she smiled, like crescent moons.
"Alright, let's stay on this floor for the night. This doctor's office is quite nice."
It was clean, spacious, and even had its own bathroom.
"Then I'll go check the situation at the main entrance. If there's nothing going on there, I'll call Nie Yizhou and Xiao Feng up," Mu Yang volunteered with a sunny smile.
"Okay." Yun Xiaoxiao gave an OK hand sign.
At the hospital entrance.
As Mu Yang walked over, he saw that the zombie corpses at the hospital entrance had almost piled up into a small mountain.
There were zombies from outside trying to run in, and some from inside trying to run out.
"Brother Yang, have you finished up there?" Nie Yizhou asked with a smile.
Mu Yang nodded, "We'll continue with the rest tomorrow. How's the situation on your end?"
"There are hardly any zombies running this way anymore, just one or two occasionally circling around."
"Then I'll seal off the entrance, and we can go rest."
"Great, I've been hungry for a while." Nie Yizhou stretched lazily, patting his belly with a grin.
"All you think about is food, are you a pig?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but retort.
Nie Yizhou glanced at him, "If you're so capable, don't eat later."
Hearing their familiar banter, Mu Yang chuckled lightly.
These two were really quite the comedic duo.
He concentrated his power, and a metal wall slowly rose from the entrance.
They hadn't built it initially to conserve fighting strength.
Building walls was quite draining.
They had already consumed a lot of energy today, and if guns could be used, there was no need to use their life-saving personal energy for now.
Moreover, when they arrived at the hospital, there were less than two hours until nightfall, so the task couldn't be completed anyway. There was no rush to have everyone go all out together.
Preserving some of the team's fighting strength was still necessary.
After finishing the wall and ensuring zombies couldn't easily climb in, the three of them went to the inpatient department together.
When they saw Qin Zhi and the other three, Nie Yizhou and Xiao Feng were both taken aback.
"Oh, new people have arrived?"
At this moment, they saw Yun Xiaoxiao in a corner of the room, tilting her head back and staring wide-eyed at a big-bellied fat man.
The three of them exchanged bewildered glances.
What... was going on here?
