Chapter 81: 066 Too Brutal (First Update)_2

He thought Bai Qianqian was just a child, so he suggested she stay in the carriage. Fang Yuxin knew he meant well, but she refused nonetheless. By participating in this mission, they would receive a substantial reward upon their return. It would’ve been fine if it were just the Fang Family; they wouldn’t mind sharing the credit with Bai Qianqian. However, there were many other mercenaries present, and if Bai Qianqian did nothing, they would inevitably harbor thoughts.

Even Bai Qianqian herself didn’t want to cause any issues for Fang Yuxin, so after watching the others disembark, she made a point of glancing at Captain Zhou and then followed Fang Yuxin out of the vehicle.

To avoid drawing too much attention, not only had Fang Yuxin and her team donned tight-fitting protective suits, but they had also layered loose sportswear over them. They buckled small fanny packs around their waists for various items, and their weapons of choice were carried in hand.

When Bai Qianqian got out of the car, she was holding a pair of military daggers. She followed closely behind Fang Yuxin, keeping a safe distance. When Fang Yuxin hunted zombies, she’d deliberately kick them in Bai Qianqian’s direction, controlling her strength so that the zombies fell to the ground. That’s when Bai Qianqian would pounce, stepping on the zombie’s back and plunging her military dagger into the nape of their neck.

After a full day of training yesterday, Bai Qianqian had become quite adept at this. The angle of her dagger’s entry would hit the Crystal Core just right; if there was a core, she’d flick her dagger upwards to lift the bone and extract the core. If not, there was no wasted effort.

Fang Yuxin and she had a perfectly coordinated routine, and every time she managed to time her actions with precision. Her moves were even more brutal, killing more zombies, with Bai Qianqian effectively picking off the leftovers. Eventually, Fang Yuxin would decapitate the zombies, leaving Bai Qianqian to handle the extraction of the Crystal Cores.

The other Fang Family members were spread out around them, slaughtering zombies just as mercilessly, and in many cases, more proficiently than many of the other mercenaries.

Others saw only their continuous slaying of zombies, with the ferocious undead appearing like sacrificial lambs before them. Their sharp nails and teeth were utterly ineffective, resulting only in their demise!

Because of their ruthlessness, the other mercenaries were also influenced, feeling a surge of boldness, they toughened up in their actions. In half an hour, they had cleared the encountered Zombie Group.

While the others would kill the zombies before extracting the Crystal Cores, the Fang Family was different. With Bai Qianqian’s increasing speed at core extraction, by the time they finished cleaning up the zombies, he had almost gathered all the Crystal Cores.

These Crystal Cores were to be theirs to keep. After Bai Qianqian collected them, Fang Yuxin took them all and pretended to tuck them into her fanny pack.

Back on the vehicle, everyone hit the road again. However, while the Fang Family was unscathed, the others did not share this fortune. Upon reboarding, over a dozen people approached Fang Yuxin with their Crystal Cores, requesting she heal their wounds.

Their injuries were minor, but if left unattended, they could impact the mission ahead. They had obtained a fair number of Crystal Cores, so using one or two for healing seemed reasonable.

Moreover, they had noticed that Fang Yuxin hadn’t used her superpower while hunting zombies, so there was no concern that she wouldn’t have enough power to heal them.

She didn’t decline, and after accepting the Crystal Cores, she began to heal them. Though freshly extracted from the zombie brains and cleaned, the cores still had an offensive smell. Fang Yuxin didn’t mind, taking the cores and sliding them into her fanny pack.

Captain Zhou had informed them that their mission was to rescue people from a prestigious university in the city. The university, being populated, naturally had many zombies. Apart from them, there were many other rescue squads, each with different objectives.

The university they were headed to was not in the suburbs but in a bustling city district. Getting in to perform the rescue meant facing higher risks. Moreover, the city’s roads were severely damaged, requiring them to take detours, thereby extending the journey and increasing the danger.

After entering the city, zombie sightings became more frequent, each time in significant numbers. Captain Zhou did not always send people out to clear the zombies, as their primary mission was rescue. They only engaged when small groups of zombies blocked their path; otherwise, they would simply try to break through.

The soldiers on the roof were responsible for both vigilance and clearing the way or taking out the zombies chasing after them. Their marksmanship was good, and even if they couldn’t achieve headshots with every shot, they weren’t far off.

They carried packs with spare magazines, but they never squandered their bullets, instead being very frugal. In the current dire situation, with the Safe Zones freshly established and all munitions factories incapacitated, the bullets they had were virtually the last of their stock. Using one less meant saving one more, so no one wasted any.

It took nearly an hour more after entering the city, and after dealing with several Zombie Groups, they finally arrived at the prestigious university, safe but shaken.

The area was once a thriving district, but now the surrounding streets were in ruins, displaying a desolate scene. The university, once known for its beautiful scenery, had many areas collapsed from meteor impacts, and numerous zombies roamed inside, evoking a feeling of desolation in anyone who saw it.

Once inside the university, Captain Zhou pulled out a map and said, “We’re splitting up now. Each squad is responsible for a different area; try to find as many survivors as possible! If you encounter danger, withdraw immediately and regroup here. Understood?”

Everyone chorused, “Understood!”
