Xu Qian extended her mental power to cover more than half of the warehouse until she could no longer expand it.
Her mental power now covered an area about the size of a basketball court. If she paid attention, she could hear all sounds within this range.
With a thought, more than half of the warehouse emptied.
Using her ability again, the entire warehouse was cleared.
After collecting the supplies, Xu Qian closed the warehouse door and clicked on the side mission.
[1585/2000]
Still needed 415 more.
Alright, time to start the mission.
A Baser knife materialized in Xu Qian's hand. The blade flashed, and zombie heads tumbled to the ground.
She frowned. The zombies here seemed less potent than those in City G. They were a step slower. While the zombies in City G were also slow, they weren't this slow.
Normally, zombies would dodge when attacked, but here, by the time a zombie tried to dodge, the knife was already at its neck.
This was like the early stages of zombies, indicating that the zombies in this city hadn't evolved yet.
After fighting for less than 10 minutes, Xu Qian told everyone to leave. The zombies here were useless for improvement; they were just killing zombies for the sake of killing.
Xu Qian glanced at the map and decided to head to City T first.
City H was quite far from City T, about a three-hour drive.
Less than half an hour after setting off again, Gu Qing immediately stopped the car upon seeing the scene ahead.
"Sister Qian, the bridge ahead is broken."
A bridge that large was broken?
Xu Qian walked to the driver's seat and looked. The bridge was indeed broken, with a section missing in the middle. The broken section dangled beneath the bridge, still connected by rebar.
The once beautiful azure sea had turned into a dark, inky water. Countless monsters seemed to lurk within the blackness, making it impossible to approach.
Mei Yuebai followed and took a look. She immediately recognized it as man-made.
"It was blown up."
Xu Qian stood up straight. It seemed the local government had decided to sever the influx of people from the prosperous city, trying to reduce the number of zombies in the north.
"Then there's no other way. We'll go to City Q first."
City Q was closer than City T, about an hour away. Xu Qian's original plan was to go in one direction and then return, thus avoiding a long detour.
However, the only road from City H to City T was this one. If they had to detour, it would be better to go to City Q first.
City Q was famous for its hot springs, with almost all the hot springs in the province concentrated there. It was a place with abundant mountains and water, and excellent air quality.
The highway had few zombies or cars, but it had many tunnels, all located at the foot of mountains. Vehicles and zombies were concentrated in these tunnels.
Exiting the highway and reaching the border of City Q, scattered zombies roamed the edges.
As they moved towards the city center, the number of zombies decreased.
When the navigation indicated they had reached the city center, the area was eerily deserted. Apart from the haphazardly parked vehicles lining the streets, there wasn't a single zombie in sight.
Gu Qing and Cheng Liangqing, who were in the lead, their expressions changed slightly. This was impossible. There were no zombies in the suburbs, so how could there be none in the city center? They immediately reported the situation to Xu Qian.
Xu Qian frowned and immediately checked the system's live map. There were no red dots or green dots around the map. It seemed to be an empty city.
City Q was a small city, and nothing significant had been heard about it in her past life, but why was it so abnormal?
"How far is it to the warehouse?"
Gu Qing checked the navigation. "About 10 more minutes."
"Keep going, stay alert. If anything unusual happens, don't ask me, just turn back."
Everyone tensed up instantly, pulling out their weapons and holding them ready.
Xu Qian sat in the booth, pulling open the screen window to let in the outside breeze.
There was only a faint smell of blood, no stench of decay. It was truly strange.
