Chapter 80: 066 Too Brutal (First Update)

After witnessing Fang Yuxin’s abilities, Captain Zhou suggested that she first heal the wounded on their team. All these people had injuries of varying degrees, none of them serious, but even minor wounds could affect one’s performance. Moreover, the scent of blood could easily attract zombies.

If the circumstances had allowed, the higher-ups would not have sent out these wounded individuals for missions. But given the lack of manpower in the Safe Zone, they had no other choice.

Those with more severe injuries either stayed in the Safe Hospital or took on simpler tasks within the Safe Zone, making the best use of their capabilities.

Now that they had Fang Yuxin, a Wood Element Superpower User who could heal, Captain Zhou hoped she could treat the wounded first. He didn’t demand that Fang Yuxin heal every single one of them, but the fewer injuries they had, the better off they would be and the higher their chances of survival.

He didn’t plan on having Fang Yuxin heal people for free, either. He arranged for each wounded person being treated to give her a Crystal Core as payment for her service. Additionally, he noted Fang Yuxin’s contribution, planning to secure her a more substantial reward once the mission was completed.

Although one Crystal Core was not a lot, considering the injuries were minor and there was more than one wounded person, Fang Yuxin ended up collecting as many as 23 Crystal Cores.

After the wounded were treated, Captain Zhou had the blood-stained bandages and gauze collected for the Fire Element Superpower Users to incinerate, ensuring the smell did not draw in zombies. By the time they hit the road, the team was clean and fresh.

The entire convoy consisted of 100 people. In addition to the four large trucks driven by Captain Zhou’s soldiers, the mercenaries also had many smaller vehicles. However, a long convoy was prone to accidents, so Captain Zhou suggested that all mercenaries ride in the trucks instead of driving their own vehicles.

With soldiers on guard, there was no concern about car thieves. Thus, the mercenaries locked their cars and boarded the trucks, raising no objections to Captain Zhou’s instructions.

All drivers were Captain Zhou’s soldiers. Apart from the eight sitting in the cabs, of the remaining 22 soldiers, 20 were divided into four squads. Armed with submachine guns, they were responsible for vigilance on top of the truck containers.

The rest of the people were in the first truck container. Although it was a bit crowded with so many people, it nevertheless provided a sense of security.

The Fang Family took up one corner, while Captain Zhou sat close by with the remaining two, looking at Bai Qianqian. He couldn’t help asking Fang Yuxin, “Aren’t you worried about taking such a small child on a mission?”

Fang Yuxin smiled with meaning and said, “I would be even more worried leaving him alone in the Safe Zone.”

Hearing this, Captain Zhou fell silent. The current Safe Zone was indeed rather chaotic. Due to the shortage of manpower, the military couldn’t allocate more personnel to maintain order, which often led to troubles.

With the apocalypse just beginning, many survivors were emotionally unstable and prone to acting rashly. Indeed, it was worrisome to leave Bai Qianqian alone in the Safe Zone.

After a moment of thought, he said, “I can find someone to look after the child for you.”

But Fang Yuxin shook her head, “I appreciate your kind offer, but the only way I can be at ease is if I keep an eye on him myself.”

With that, Captain Zhou didn’t insist further, saying instead, “There are no zombies in sight for now. You should absorb the Crystal Cores. You’ve consumed so much superpower just now, use this time to replenish. Once we’re in the city, injuries may occur at any time, and we will need your help.”

Fang Yuxin had anticipated this and did not refuse. Nodding, she took out purified Crystal Cores and began to absorb them. The others couldn’t see the Core in her hand, so they didn’t know that the Crystal Cores she held were special.

As she began absorbing the Crystal Cores, the Fang Family watched over her with vigilant eyes.

Occasionally, zombies appeared on the road, but they were swiftly killed by the soldiers’ gunfire. After the sound of gunshots faded, two of the soldiers by Captain Zhou would swiftly descend from the vehicle to extract Crystal Cores from the zombies before setting the corpses aflame.

The closer they got to the city’s outskirts, the more zombies appeared. Initially, the rooftop gunmen could handle the small numbers, but as more and more zombies surfaced, Captain Zhou had the mercenaries in the trucks disembark to clear out the undead.
