After establishing the self-help association, Shen Feng's first order was to steal rebar from the construction site outside the school. He realized that the students' current weapons were mostly wooden sticks, at most with nails hammered into the ends to serve as maces. This kind of lethality was clearly insufficient. To deal with zombies, a fatal blow was necessary, otherwise, the zombies would pile up. For a fatal blow, blunt weapons were best.
Of course, blunt weapons also had a drawback: they consumed more physical strength.
Li Xiang opened the main gate and drove off with several other vehicles. Although everyone's driving skills were not great, in this era, there were no other cars on the road. As long as they didn't drive into a ditch, everything would be fine.
Li Xiang, now a team leader, was in high spirits. He said, "I've never stolen rebar so openly before. I used to be afraid of getting caught!"
The boy in the passenger seat looked at Li Xiang with surprise and asked, "Brother Xiang, you used to steal rebar? I always thought you were such an upright person, you wouldn't do such petty thievery! I never expected this!"
"That was when I was a child. I didn't have money for candy, so I'd steal short rebar from construction sites to sell for money. The candy I ate then was really sweet!" Li Xiang didn't hide anything and directly recounted his childhood misdeeds of stealing rebar.
There weren't many zombies at the construction site, and since it was just starting construction, the road surface was uneven, making it impossible for zombies to get through. Thus, everyone confidently tied the rebar to the back of the vehicles, started the engines, and the rebar dragged sparks along the ground with a "hissing" sound as the convoy left the site in style.
Meanwhile, Shen Feng found a spacious room to serve as his office. He was currently talking with Ren Jing and Wu Kai, holding two bottles of pink liquid. He intended to give these to the two men, but before they took them, he needed to explain the origin of the evolution serum.
"Actually, the zombie virus can infect nine out of ten people. The stronger the immunity, the harder it is for the zombie virus to successfully infect humans. Similarly, the amount of viral protein in the human body will be very small! And viral protein can cause people to evolve..." Shen Feng patiently explained the source of the serum in his hands, and the two men in front of him looked at the serum with excitement.
"So, President, you evolved because you drank the serum?" Ren Jing quickly asked.
"No, I evolved naturally!" Shen Feng said casually, "I chose you two because you are good at reading the situation. Ren Jing, you do the tasks I assign to the best of your ability. As for Wu Kai, you are willing to do the dirty work for me! Therefore, I know you are both very loyal!" 138 Reading Network
"Yes, yes, we are very loyal!" Ren Jing and Wu Kai nodded quickly. Now, they also wanted to evolve into strong individuals like Shen Feng. In previous battles, whenever a mutated zombie appeared, they could only let Shen Feng handle it. But now it was different. If they could drink the serum, perhaps... they could also possess the power and status that Shen Feng currently held!
Once they became evolved individuals, they could have anything they wanted. Both of them became excited. As for loyalty, they were absolutely devoted!
"You must keep the matter of taking the serum a secret. No one must know! I will naturally bestow the serum upon loyal individuals, but for those who are not loyal, then..." Shen Feng's eyes revealed a meaningful smile.
"Then let us handle it!" Wu Kai said shrewdly, understanding that he sometimes needed to handle the things his boss didn't want to do!
"Then go. Remember, after drinking it, you will be unconscious for five to six hours. You will become an evolved individual after waking up!" Shen Feng instructed.
"How do you know it's five to six hours?" Ren Jing asked casually, but then Wu Kai nudged him. Ren Jing realized that this was not a question he should have asked. Did someone who had taken the serum before have to reveal it?
Afterward, the two left with the serum. Shen Feng leaned back in his seat, thinking to himself, "I still need more evolved individuals. I'm just not sure about their loyalty. Speaking of which, I don't know the difference between other evolved individuals and me yet! Why not have a spar sometime?"
Later, Shen Feng returned to the dormitory and saw the senior student studying the map. He reached out and hugged her, asking, "Senior, are you still studying the route? Have you thought of a rescue method?" As he spoke, Shen Feng's hand slipped into her clothes.
Chang Jianyi looked at the complex map and said helplessly, "There's no way. This primary school is in the city center and not close to the Yangtze River. No matter how we set out, we will encounter a large number of zombies! There's no way to choose a shortcut, nor is it possible to finish quickly!"
Shen Feng rested his chin on the senior student's shoulder, then looked at the location of the primary school. This primary school was in the city center, surrounded by many residential areas, and it was far from both the outskirts and the Yangtze River. Just reaching the primary school would require passing through a large number of zombies, making rescue almost impossible.
The city center was different from the university. The university was at least on the outskirts of the city. As long as the school gate was closed, the zombies outside could not get in. But the city center was full of people. Once you rushed in, you would completely fall into the vast ocean of people! (Physically speaking!)
"So, we should still choose to clear the surrounding zombies before rescuing the people!" Shen Feng said quickly, "Actually, I've thought of a good plan, but the primary task is to go to the vocational school and rescue the students inside! Some of them are students who study excavators, and I plan to gather them to do something big!"
Chang Jianyi grabbed the hand under her clothes and said, "Stop messing around. In a couple of days, we'll change to a better place, and you can do whatever you want. It's not good to be seen by classmates here!"
Shen Feng withdrew his hand, smiled, and then continued, "I observed the zombies' movement speed and found that these zombies basically move at a distance of three kilometers per hour. However, when attracted, they will rush towards the target, and their speed can reach eight kilometers per hour! Therefore, as long as we lure away the zombies along the way, there will temporarily be no zombies on the path ahead, and we can take the opportunity to carry out the rescue!"
It turned out that Shen Feng's plan was to lure the tiger away from its mountain, similar to the method used when they rushed out of the logistics center. The only difference was that they had attracted hundreds of zombies then, but now they were attracting tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of zombies!
"But, it's at least ten kilometers from here to the primary school, and there are still many zombies on the road!" Chang Jianyi said helplessly.
Shen Feng shook his head slightly and then said, "It's okay, not all zombies are on the road. I plan to build fortifications to deal with a large number of zombies and temporarily clear a path forward. After rescuing your brother, we will proceed with further actions!"
Chang Jianyi put down the map in her hand and pondered for a moment before saying, "If we rely on building fortifications to deal with zombies, it will require a lot of manpower. Just the manpower from our school and the vocational school is not enough to build large fortifications. It would require at least thousands of people! It's very difficult!"
"There are probably hundreds of people at the vocational school. Besides that, I really can't think of any other place with more people! Luzhou College is quite far from us. In addition, there are two nearby villages. If we consider one-tenth of the population, there might be five to six hundred people!" Shen Feng was also very helpless at this time. There was a way to eliminate zombies, but currently, there was a shortage of manpower. With only four hundred people available for combat, they were powerless against a city with hundreds of thousands of zombies.
"No, the people in the villages might be able to help us!" Chang Jianyi suddenly looked up. She thought of something very important that seemed like it could turn the tide.
Li Xiang successfully dragged the rebar back to the school and began cutting it. Shen Feng planned to have the students use unified weapons, cutting the rebar into one-meter-long rods, with cloth wrapped around the handles to prevent slipping. This would be enough to deal with ordinary zombies.
With a generator in the school, some electrical appliances could be used, such as cutting machines. Soon, the rebar was cut into short rods, and the boys all received their weapons.
Afterward, Shen Feng came forward, holding his katana, and gathered the boys. He said to them, "Classmates, the recapture of Luzhou is about to begin. However, before that, we need to get more companions first. Our target now is the students and teachers at the vocational school! Rescuing them is the priority, killing zombies is secondary!"
The classmates responded loudly, expressing their agreement. However, Li Xiang was a bit confused and asked, "By the way, where did Ren Jing and Wu Kai go? Aren't they captains?"
Shen Feng explained, "They two need to deal with the remaining zombies in the school, so they can't set off with us for now. But don't worry, with me here, I can still command you."
Shen Feng knew very well that those two were going to find a place to secretly evolve, and it was very likely in a classroom in the second teaching building, where basically no one would go. However, now was not the time to reveal the evolution serum, so it had to be kept secret for the time being.
Originally, in Shen Feng's mind, Li Xiang was also very loyal and could be evolved with the serum, but his courage was too small, so he was not suitable for combat. Therefore, he had to give up for now and use the serum when the opportunity arose later.
At the construction site, there were several trucks, but none of the current students knew how to drive them, so they were just placed there randomly! The group set off in the school's vehicles. As for the gasoline used, it was taken from other cars.
More than four hundred people set off in vehicles, and most of the cars were filled to capacity. A few cars were pickup trucks that could carry a few more people, but more students had to squeeze into narrow sedans. However, according to Shen Feng's plan, as long as they reached the vocational school, they could find a way to get enough cars.
The vocational school was not particularly far from Shen Feng's school, only about two kilometers away. They arrived quickly by car. After opening the gate, over a hundred zombies immediately rushed out. Everyone quickly stepped forward to meet the enemy. Shen Feng didn't want to waste too much time, so he shouted loudly, "Li Xiang, drive and lure the zombies away. The others, immediately search for students. Don't get bogged down in prolonged combat; fighting these mindless creatures is meaningless."
Li Xiang immediately called out to Hu Lai beside him and said, "Turn on the stereo to attract the zombies. I'll drive slowly, lure the zombies away first, and then we'll take a detour back!"
Hu Lai was also obedient and immediately turned on the stereo. Then, lively music began to play. Li Xiang drove the car in a circle in front of the zombies, and the zombies were lured away. Zombies still prioritized chasing targets with louder sounds. At this time, the students rushed out.
"Prioritize searching the dormitories, then the teaching buildings and the cafeteria. Don't search other places for now!" Shen Feng instructed. Thus, the group split into three teams, led by their squad leaders, to search the three locations.
However, there were still many zombies in the vocational school, and the students inevitably had to fight. In the end, every student's hands were stained with zombie blood. Shen Feng watched from behind everyone. Ordinary zombies were simply too weak. Without the advantage of numbers, these zombies were only destined to be slaughtered.
But just as Shen Feng was relaxing, someone came to report the appearance of speed-type zombies in the dormitory building, so Shen Feng immediately rushed over with his sword. The boys retreated in a timely manner. The moment they discovered the speed-type zombies, they withdrew. With their large numbers, the speed-type zombies did not dare to charge forward rashly.
"Very good, just like this! Continue to inform me next time!" Shen Feng was very satisfied with the boys' reaction this time. They did not linger or rush forward to their deaths but waited for him to resolve the situation.
Afterward, Shen Feng pursued them. After several rounds of combat, he successfully cornered the speed-type zombie and then stabbed it to death with a single blow. Its body was very slender and could not withstand Shen Feng's full-force strike. Shen Feng had also gained experience when facing this zombie and could easily resolve it.
