The half-hour break ended, and Zuo Feng stood up, scanned the surroundings, and said in a deep voice:
"Break over, training continues! Remember—in this apocalypse, survival is the only rule;
Only by constantly strengthening yourselves can you establish a foothold in this cruel environment.
Now, everyone, brace yourselves, check your equipment, and adjust your state!"
This experimental base has a living area on the first floor, and the four floors below are all experimental zones.
The further down you go, the higher the security, and even Xiao Mi Tao's authority only allows her to go down to the third floor.
Zuo Feng and his team's goal for today was to clear only the zombies on the first-floor living area, and then conduct special training for Zhan Wu Zha.
The zombies on the lower floors would be left for later, to be killed by Zhan Wu Zha after her special training, as it was only around 11 AM, so the zombies on the first floor were to be used as practice for Zhan Wu Zha as much as possible.
Zuo Feng led everyone back into the first floor of the base; the roars of zombies rose and fell, and the air was filled with a putrid smell.
Standing in the center of the parking lot, Zuo Feng scanned his surroundings; all he could see was chaos, discarded debris scattered everywhere, shocking bloodstains on the walls, and dense bullet holes that silently recounted the past brutality.
Zuo Feng's expression became serious; it seemed Xiao Mi Tao's earlier statement about the base's evacuation was not as smooth as imagined, and intense battles must have occurred during the evacuation, with these marks serving as the best proof.
Here, many zombies and people must have died, and in this enclosed area, the dead zombies must have been completely devoured by the remaining zombies.
And zombies devouring the bodies of their own kind accelerates their evolution, which means there must be more powerful, more dangerous zombies hidden here.
Zuo Feng's heart tightened, and he reminded everyone to heighten their vigilance and proceed with extreme caution.
Every step required prudence; a slight oversight could lead to unthinkable consequences.
"Da Mi Tao, Xiao She Jing, pay attention, if you find any Gray-skinned Zombies with bars, kill them immediately."
Da Mi Tao and Xiao She Jing nodded in agreement, their eyes sharp as knives.
They also knew that the Zhan Wu Zha team was not yet strong enough, and facing evolved zombies, a slight mistake could lead to their complete annihilation.
Zuo Feng took a deep breath, and the Space Shield appeared, protecting Zhan Wu Zha.
This time, they were to clear the zombies in the fitness area; Zuo Feng was the first to step into the fitness zone, his gaze like a torch, scanning every corner.
The glass doors of the gym were already shattered, fragments scattered everywhere, and bloodstains covered the toppled equipment; the air was filled with a strong, fishy smell.
Inside the fitness area, more than 20 Gray-skinned Zombies wandered lifelessly, occasionally emitting a low growl.
Zuo Feng observed carefully and found that more than half of the Gray-skinned Zombies had bars, and there were even two Gray-skinned Zombies with two bars.
Zuo Feng's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said in a low voice:
"Attention, the two-bar Gray-skinned Zombies are for Da Mi Tao; Xiao She Jing, you kill the approaching one-bar Gray-skinned Zombies; Xiao Mi Tao, Da Bai Tu, Xiao Shao Fu, Xiao Chu Niang, Xiao Nv Pu, the five of you, try to kill the ordinary Gray-skinned Zombies."
Zuo Feng took a step forward, standing like a rock in front of the girls, the Space Shield whistling as it smashed any approaching threats.
As for why Da Mi Tao was assigned to kill the two-bar Gray-skinned Zombies, it was because among the Yinghuo Team, only Da Mi Tao could instantly kill two-bar Gray-skinned Zombies.
Da Mi Tao could fire a maximum of three arrows with full power, killing two Gray-skinned Zombies with two arrows, leaving one arrow for emergencies.
Xiao She Jing's lightning balls were more geared towards area-of-effect attacks; although her single-target damage was not high, it was more than enough to deal with one-bar Gray-skinned Zombies.
As soon as he finished speaking, Da Mi Tao drew her bow and aimed, arrows shooting out like meteors, and two two-bar Gray-skinned Zombies fell to the ground.
Xiao She Jing followed closely, over a dozen lightning balls whistling out, and over a dozen one-bar Gray-skinned Zombies were instantly defeated.
It wasn't until Da Mi Tao and Xiao She Jing had killed all the Gray-skinned Zombies with bars that the wandering ordinary Gray-skinned Zombies noticed Zuo Feng and the others, roaring and pouncing.
The "Zhan Wu Zha" team cooperated tacitly, their postures elegant, movements synchronized, and with three consecutive volleys, arrows shot out rapidly, like a rain piercing the air, tracing dark arcs, and over ten Gray-skinned Zombies were instantly impaled with arrows.
Zuo Feng's mouth twitched as he looked at the 8 Gray-skinned Zombies charging over, swung the Space Shield, and individually smashed the heads of the charging Gray-skinned Zombies, sighing inwardly: This Zhan Wu Zha team absolutely needs intense training.
Five people, three consecutive volleys, and they only killed two; this record was simply—a fierce operation, but less than 2.5 damage.
Looking helplessly at the Zhan Wu Zha, Zuo Feng shook his head:
"Go out and rest for a bit, then continue."
This time, it wasn't that Zhan Wu Zha were tired, but that Da Mi Tao and Xiao She Jing needed to adjust their state, as high-intensity combat consumed a great deal of their abilities.
He led them to quickly retreat from the fitness area, back to the base's main entrance.
Everyone sat on the ground, and it was also lunchtime, so they gathered to eat their dry rations.
Zuo Feng chewed his food, his vigilant gaze sweeping the surroundings like a hawk, his alertness never wavering.
Just then, Xiao She Jing leaned over, poked Zuo Feng, and with a mischievous smile, asked: "Feng Ge, have you found your bamboo stick yet? Do you need my help? Xiao Yu hasn't killed a single Gray-skinned Zombie yet!"
"That's right! Xiao Nan Ren, you need to pull down his pants and spank him hard!"
Da Bai Tu said teasingly, smiling as she looked at Xiao Mi Tao, whose face was almost buried in her chest.
"Isn't there still an afternoon? No rush, you guys... you love to watch the drama, don't you? And pull down his pants and spank him! What are you thinking? Impossible!"
Zuo Feng rolled his eyes, his face serious as he rejected Da Bai Tu's suggestion.
In his heart, he had already nodded a thousand times; he wholeheartedly agreed with this suggestion!
Such an excellent suggestion must be maintained!
Xiao Mi Tao's face was as red as a ripe apple, her head bowed, not daring to make a sound, her fingers constantly twisting the hem of her clothes.
"Feng Ge, when I came, I saw that the bamboo shoots in the mountains had grown. How about we go into the mountains tomorrow to pick some bamboo shoots?"
Xiao Chu Niang was truly the team's cook, thinking of changing everyone's diet; fresh bamboo shoots would definitely be much better than these dry rations.
"Hmm! Okay, I'll go hunt some more prey and get more fresh ingredients!"
Da Mi Tao immediately agreed; how could one go into the mountains without hunting? Moreover, through this period of observation, animals were not affected by the zombie virus and were not attacked by Gray-skinned Zombies; at least, no animal-type Gray-skinned Zombies had been seen so far.
"That's right! I agree too! We can also pick mushrooms!"
Xiao Shao Fu immediately raised her hand in agreement!
"We can also catch snakes! Snake meat soup is delicious!"
Xiao She Jing got excited; this woman was indeed a special police officer, not afraid of snakes.
"Brother Feng, there are also many wild fruits in the mountains; we can go pick them."
Xiao Mi Tao mumbled softly with her head down; sure enough, as soon as they heard about fruit, pairs of beautiful big eyes began to light up, clearly these girls loved to eat fruit.
Zuo Feng nodded, secretly chuckling: These greedy and playful girls.
