Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter 86 Going Out

"Sister Long, there's no water on the roads in the base. It's different outside; the roads have all turned into rivers." Qiu Ling leaned against the car window, curiously looking at the scenery outside.

The glitz and glamour of the city have long since faded into the past, and Qiu Ling has almost forgotten what the city's skyscrapers used to look like.

"Thank goodness it's hot and the rainwater evaporates quickly, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to drive out." Bai Zhi sighed. Who wouldn't feel emotional seeing such a scene?

Unfortunately, the dangers of the apocalypse left them no time to wallow in sorrow.

"Boom, boom, boom——"

Dozens of icicles rose from the water's surface, and seven or eight zombie fish, each two or three meters long, were ripped open and struggled on the icicles.

Several green rose vines shot out from the car window, precisely piercing the zombie fish's head, digging out the crystal core, and then presenting it to Long Yangyang like a treasure.

They were all level one or two zombie crystal cores. After Long Yangyang put them into her space, she immediately exchanged them for energy points for Xiao Fei, just in case.

Fu Muyu's actions were like stirring up a swarm of zombie fish; they emerged from the water and attacked their vehicle.

"Are zombie animals appearing in the water this frequently now?" Bai Zhi used her supernatural power to condense rockets, which she fired at the heads of the zombie fish like a rainstorm.

The zombie fish swarm dived underwater, causing Bai Zhi's attack to miss.

"Isn't it said that fish don't have brains?" Bai Zhi complained, surprised that the zombie fish knew how to hide.

“Sister Baizhi, even if you don’t have a brain, you still have instincts,” Qiu Ling said. “We are surrounded by a swarm of zombie fish. There is a level 3 mental zombie fish, which should be commanding the swarm. The others are level 1 or 2.”

"Can zombie fish still move when they leave the water?" Long Yangyang asked curiously.

“Shi Qing.” Fu Muyu was equally curious about the habits of the zombie fish and thought it would be a good opportunity to study them.

Shi Qing nodded, then swept his hands to the left and right, instantly parting the water on the road as if Moses were parting the sea.

The swarm of zombie fish surrounding the Hummer was instantly exposed on the road.

Long Yangyang watched the fish thrashing about on land, unusually lively, and couldn't believe their bodies were dead. However, their scarlet, lifeless eyes clearly identified them as zombie fish.

The zombie fish, out of the water, leaped forward using its tail, then slapped the ground with its tail, landing in a perfect arc after leaping through the air.

Seeing this perfect jump, Long Yangyang thought that if fish had this skill before the apocalypse, they would definitely be the top stars of the circus.

"Yangyang, look closely." Fu Muyu pointed to a zombie fish, reminding Long Yangyang to observe their way of moving forward.

"This is... water?" Long Yangyang looked closely and realized that after the zombie fish's tail landed, it would leave a puddle of water on the ground. With the support of water, the zombie fish could continue to move.

"Therefore, zombie fish cannot live without water."

“At least level three or lower zombie fish won’t work.” Qiu Ling pointed to a large blue-gray fish in the center of the school of fish. “That’s a level three mental zombie fish. Every time it lands, there’s water underneath it, which must be provided by aquatic zombie fish.”

“It’s quite interesting,” Long Yangyang said.

It was only because Long Yangyang and her group were highly skilled and daring that they were able to observe the habits of the zombie fish.

"After you've seen them, these fish are useless now." Long Yangyang's expression darkened, and countless rose vines appeared from behind her, easily swirling up the zombie fish in mid-air, inserting them into their heads, and digging out their crystal cores. The fluid movements showed that she did this often.

After Long Yangyang used Star Source Crystal to advance, she no longer restricted Miao Miao's upgrade. With a large supply of crystal cores, Miao Miao easily advanced from the peak of level six to level seven.

Dealing with level two or three zombie fish is now incredibly easy.

"Yangyang, there's a big shopping mall up ahead. Let's go in and take a look; maybe you'll find some furniture you like," Bai Zhi said, pointing to the building in front of her.

“Okay.” Long Yangyang nodded. The main reason they came out was because they were bored at the base. It just so happened that Fu Muyu’s family was away on a mission.

Long Yangyang and her group decided to go and take a look, and collect some useful supplies along the way. As they approached the mall, they noticed that there was a large residential area behind it.

"Sister Long, there are so many zombies inside." Qiu Ling looked at the dense red dots in the mall and felt a chill run down her spine.

"There are more in the residential area, and there's a level 5 mental zombie in the shopping mall."

"Does the store have special level 4 zombies and fire-type level 4 zombies?" Long Yangyang asked.

“Yes.” A flash of blue light appeared in Qiu Ling’s black pupils. “There is a level 4 superpowered zombie on each of the fourth to eighth floors of the mall. The fourth floor is fire-type, the fifth floor is wind-type, the sixth floor is metal-type, the seventh floor is mental-type, and the eighth floor is precognitive-type.”

"Precognition? A zombie?" Long Yangyang never expected that zombies would have precognition abilities. Zombies can't even speak, so what use are precognition abilities?

Long Yangyang thought for a moment. For them, the most useful things were the zombie crystal cores on the fourth, seventh, and eighth floors. "On which floor is that level five mental zombie?"

"The top floor," Qiu Ling said.

Long Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "I'll teleport everyone into the mall later. Shi Qing, you and Bai Zhi deal with the fire-type zombies on the fifth floor."

Qiu Ling, you take Yin Zhu and deal with the zombies on the seventh floor. Leave the mental zombies on the eighth floor and the top floor to me and Brother Fu. Brother Cang Shu will come with us.

The other level four zombies are fine to deal with; if you encounter them, just take care of them. If nothing unexpected happens, after this battle, Sister Baizhi, you and the others should all be able to advance to level four.”

"We know." Bai Zhi and the others understood Long Yangyang's intentions.

After escorting Bai Zhi and the others to their respective floors, Long Yangyang led Fu Muyu and Yun Cangshu into the eighth floor.

The eighth floor sells exactly the home furnishing products Long Yangyang wanted. Doors, curtains, beds, sofas, coffee tables, and more—the store has all the major brands.

“Yangyang, something’s strange. Qiu Ling clearly said there were level four zombies here, but this place is empty, there aren’t even any zombies.” Yun Cangshu cautiously observed the surroundings.

Long Yangyang was also somewhat confused. "Miaomiao, collect all the zombie crystal cores on the eighth floor."

Upon hearing this, Long Yangyang's rose bracelet jumped off her wrist and hopped away.

Long Yangyang wasn't idle either. She put all the intact furniture into her space. If she didn't like it, she could rent a shop in the base and sell it.

As Long Yangyang and her two companions walked forward, they collected furniture. After the eighth floor was emptied of most of its merchandise, the three of them didn't encounter a single zombie.

"Miaomiao is back. No zombies were found on the eighth floor."

Did the zombies on the eighth floor all run away when I teleported with my people?

"How about we go straight to the top floor?"
