Lanjiang City, a cinema in a shopping mall.
"What would you like to drink? Do you want some popcorn?"
"casual."
Lu Feng looked at the waiter at the counter: "Two cups of Coke and a bucket of popcorn."
While waiting, Zhixia, who was standing aside, held the counter with her hands, took off her high heels, rubbed her ankle with a painful expression on her face.
"Is this your first time wearing high heels?"
"Um!"
"No need, you should wear something sporty."
"I didn't want to at first, but Dong Qi and the others said that when watching a movie with boys, I should dress more femininely. Who knew this damn thing would be so hard to wear." As she said that, Zhixia took off the five-centimeter high heels on her other foot and simply walked barefoot on the floor tiles.
"I'll go buy you a pair of sneakers."
"No, the movie is about to start. Let's talk outside. I'm not that pretentious."
"Sir, your Coke and popcorn."
Just as Lu Feng turned around to get the popcorn, someone suddenly shouted from behind him: "Stop! Don't run! Stop right there! We're catching a thief!"
Two mall security guards are chasing a man clutching a cell phone.
When Lu Feng turned around, there was only a pair of high heels left beside him. Zhixia had disappeared. He looked up and saw that Zhixia had already run to the door of the cinema. With a clean and neat whip kick, she knocked the thief to the ground, followed by a naked choke.
Lu Feng: "…"
At the same time, warm applause broke out nearby, and the young couples and shop assistants around them all applauded.
When the security arrived, Zhixia let go of the thief with a flushed face.
Zhixia calmly returned to Lu Feng, picked up the high heels on the ground, and casually threw the high heels she had bought yesterday into the trash can. She took the popcorn bucket from Lu Feng and said calmly, "Let's go in."
After saying that, Zhixia walked towards the ticket entrance.
Lu Feng picked up two cups of Coke and quickly followed.
...
Both of them are seniors who are about to graduate from the Lanjiang Naval Academy. Lu Feng is majoring in navigation technology, and Zhixia is majoring in navigation engineering.
The two had a very good relationship, and many classmates were optimistic that they would develop into a boyfriend and girlfriend. However, in the past three years in college, neither of them had broken that window paper.
As for the reason, it is not that Lu Feng is not good enough. On the contrary, he is very good. Whether it is academic performance or business ability assessment, he has always been the first in the department, and he is also the president of the Student Union.
Lu Feng is 183 cm tall, with a cool and tough appearance, positive values, and a strong sense of justice, which can give people a special sense of security.
Of course, Zhixia is no worse.
The 22-year-old, 170cm tall, well-proportioned, and beautiful face, with her short, neck-length hair, is the top student in the Navigation Engineering Department. She is also the vice president of the Student Union and is known as the coolest senior student in the Navigation Engineering Department.
During his college years, Lu Feng never made any further progress, mainly because he was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. Compared with Zhixia's military family, he was far behind.
Four years ago, Lu Feng traveled to this parallel world called Blue Star. His original self had the same name and surname. He had just finished the college entrance examination. In the process of adapting to his new identity, he noticed that there were some differences between this place and the original Earth - the names of many countries were different from his original memory.
Now that graduation is approaching, everyone will go their separate ways to go on board for internship. In order to bring them together, their classmates forced them to go out and watch a movie together.
After checking their tickets, Lu Feng and Zhixia walked side by side towards the theater.
The girl from a young couple walking in front of them complained, "What's so good about zombie movies? They're just too scary."
The boy put his arm around the girl's shoulders and said, "Resident Evil 5: Retribution is great! It has our celebrities in it, and it's a great zombie-fighting movie. Come watch it, honey. I've already bought the tickets..."
"If I turn into a zombie, I'll bite you to death first!"
Zhixia looked at the movie ticket in her hand, which clearly said "Resident Evil 5: Retribution", and then turned to look at Lu Feng.
Feeling that Zhixia was looking at him, Lu Feng shrank his neck.
Following the young couple in front of them into the theater, Lu Feng and Zhixia went to the last row, while the couple sat in the middle row. There were not many people watching this movie. There were exactly ten people in the entire theater. Except for the two of them sitting at the back, everyone else sat in the front.
The lights went out and the screen came on.
Ten minutes later...
Zhixia looked at the screen and whispered, "This is the first time you take me out to see a movie?"
"Dong Qi gave me the ticket. She's your roommate."
Chinatsu: "..."
Lu Feng turned his head to look at Zhixia's profile: "Have you received the notice for your shipboard internship? Which ship?"
"Oriental Ship."
"Ah! Me too, what a coincidence..."
Zhixia looked at Lu Feng speechlessly: "Are you nervous? You're asking even though you already know the answer? You're the president of the student union, how could you not know who is assigned to which ship? What are we doing here today? Hurry up..."
"Uh..." Lu Feng was a little speechless.
Normally, whether he was giving a speech on stage, making a report to his superiors, or even facing Zhixia at school, he never felt nervous at all. But in this situation, Lu Feng was indeed a little scared.
Zhixia turned her head to look at the movie screen and said, "Okay, since you won't say it, I'll say it first. I've never been in a relationship. I don't want a house, because my family has one. I don't need a car, because I don't have time to drive one. I don't need a betrothal gift, because my parents are reasonable people and won't sell their daughter. It's your turn."
"Zhixia, it's like this, I..."
Before Lu Feng could finish his words, the girl sitting in the middle row suddenly stood up, sat directly on the boy, held the boy's head, and kissed him.
Lu Feng and Zhixia looked over at the same time.
Seeing the couple in front of her, Zhixia scratched the handrail with her fingernails, then clenched her fists. Her mind flashed back to what her roommate Dong Qi had said just before she left: "Lu Feng is a calm and strong-willed person who knows when to advance and when to retreat. He hasn't confessed his feelings to you because of his family situation, so you must take the initiative and dispel his concerns..."
Zhixia gritted her teeth and stood up suddenly, scaring Lu Feng.
She turned sideways and stood in front of Lu Feng.
Suddenly, a scream came from behind Zhixia...
"ah!"
Zhixia turned around and Lu Feng turned sideways, looking at the same time.
The theater was dark. With the help of the backlight from the screen, Lu Feng could vaguely see the girls in the front row like ferocious cannibals, burying their heads deep in the boys' necks and biting them madly.
The boy pressed himself against the back of the chair, his bulging blood vessels spasming in the dim light, his gurgling breaths tearing through the air. He pushed her away desperately with his hands, his nails scratching the girl's cold and stiff shoulders, but he couldn't move her at all.
Every tiny bump caused by the girl's bite was like a giant beast chewing its prey. The boy's futile struggle gradually weakened, and a cold chill instantly ran up Lu Feng's spine. That was definitely not the intimacy between lovers, but a bloody massacre scene.
Other people in the theater also noticed the couple's abnormal behavior and stood up to check.
"What is that?" Zhixia frowned.
Lu Feng stood up quickly and stared at the couple.
The boy stopped struggling, and the girl slowly stood up. Her stiff and twisted movements caused her bones to crackle, and the strange low growl and trembling sound was creepy.
Suddenly, the live speakers emitted a huge roar of zombies, and on the movie screen, a group of zombies were rushing towards Alice and Ada Wong.
At the same time, the girl turned around and looked at other people. The boy also slowly stood up from his seat at this moment, and his twisted body also made a crackling sound of bones.
"What the hell is that?"
As Zhixia finished her words, the couple climbed over the seats and rushed towards the confused crowd in front. In an instant, screams rang out in the theater, and two people standing near the exit were instantly thrown to the ground.
Faced with this bizarre scene, Lu Feng had no time to think. He grabbed Zhixia's hand and pulled her out of the hall. However, the exit was blocked by the two crazy weirdos...
Chapter 2 Awakening superpowers!
After the zombie couple finished eating the person under them, they immediately shifted their target to other people nearby who were already terrified. The emergency exit on the other side had also been blocked by zombies that had mutated at the same time.
A zombie suddenly turned around and saw Zhixia, then rushed over. Lu Feng stood in front of Zhixia and kicked her, knocking her off the stands.
"Let's flip over!"
Lu Feng immediately climbed over the safety railing, caught Zhixia below, and pulled her out of the theater. However, the situation in the corridor outside was even worse than inside the theater.
Roars, screams, cries, and howls of pain echoed in the corridor, one after another. Dozens or even hundreds of people ran out of their respective theaters in a panic. In just a moment, the corridors of the cinema were crowded and there was even a stampede.
Then an even more terrifying scene unfolded. Some people in the crowded crowd began to mutate. The entire transformation process took only a few seconds, and they began to frantically bite the people around them.
After a brief observation, Lu Feng saw the fire escape opposite.
"Hold on to me!"
Lu Feng held Zhixia's hand tightly, fearing that she would be separated by the panicked crowd.
Relying on his strong physique, Lu Feng squeezed his way through the crowded crowd and successfully reached the other side. The moment he opened the fire door of the fire escape, the crowd nearby suddenly turned around and squeezed into the fire escape.
Several zombies that were squeezed to the point of being unable to move followed the crowd into the fire escape. Some zombies that had just mutated and were lying on the ground could not lift their heads or stand up due to the continuous trampling.
Everyone rushed in the same direction, downstairs.
Seeing this situation, Lu Feng immediately pulled Zhixia in the opposite direction, that is, upstairs. Such a large crowd would inevitably cause congestion at the exit. Going down seemed like escaping, but in fact it was heading towards death.
The entire shopping mall has six floors. The cinema is located in the corner of the fourth floor. The fire escape here is rarely used. The fifth and sixth floors are mostly where employees smoke. They ran up one and a half floors and didn't even meet anyone coming down from the fifth or sixth floor.
Lu Feng stopped at the fifth and a half floor.
"Why did those people just now look so much like zombies in the movies?" Zhixia asked.
"That's a zombie."
Whether in his past life or this life, Lu Feng has watched a lot of zombie movies and played many zombie-themed games. In a sense, he is not unfamiliar with this kind of monster.
"Are you afraid?" Lu Feng looked at Zhixia.
Zhixia shook her head.
Given her personality, she wouldn't say it even if she was scared.
Not long after, shrill screams were heard from downstairs.
"Did you watch the movie just now? The weakness of those monsters is their brain. As long as we destroy their brain center, we can kill them." Lu Feng quickly popularized knowledge about zombies to Zhixia.
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire door on the sixth floor suddenly opened, and a female zombie entered the fire escape. It looked like it had mutated recently; its skin and flesh were not torn. If you didn't look closely, apart from its unusual behavior and movements, it looked like a pale female ghost in movie makeup.
Uhhh—
The zombies' growls were like a leaky bellows, deep and drawn out.
It staggered downstairs.
At the corner, the zombie saw Lu Feng and Zhixia. Faced with fresh human flesh, the zombie immediately became excited and pounced towards them.
Lu Feng pulled out a fire extinguisher from the fire extinguisher box, raised it high, and smashed it on the zombie's head. With a bang, the zombie in the floral dress shook and took two steps back.
Without giving it a chance to recover, Lu Feng continuously attacked the zombie's head until its face was smashed into a bloody mess and it fell to the ground. Seeing this, Zhixia pulled out another fire extinguisher from the red box and stepped forward to finish it off.
The two of them took turns hammering the zombie's head like they were hammering a wooden stake, coordinating with each other very well and smashing the zombie's head into pieces.
The next moment, Lu Feng felt his head was in a trance, his body shook twice, and a light curtain suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
"Successfully killed the first zombie, awakened the ship transformation ability, rewarded with +5 research points, and additional special reward: Constitution +1"
Basic Attributes
Constitution: 13 (Human average: 10)
Spirit: 12 (same as above)
Research Points: 5
Special Abilities
"Ship Design/Renovation Level 1: 0/200"
「Industrial Manufacturing/Maintenance Lv1: 0/200」
「Industrial Product Decomposition Level 1: 0/200」
Industrial material storage space: 10m³
"Tip: Upgrading ship design/modification to level 2 unlocks skills and rewards. Upgrading the three special abilities grants you random permanent basic attribute bonuses. Industrial material storage can only store industrial raw materials. Proficiency stops increasing after manufacturing a certain number of the same item."
Physical fitness +1 made Lu Feng's physical condition instantly recover to be as full as waking up in the morning. His strength seemed to have greatly improved. He felt that the muscles all over his body were swelling slightly, and the blood vessels under the skin of his arms were clearly visible.
"What is this? Superpower?" Faced with the suddenly awakened superpower, Lu Feng was a time traveler after all, so he was not overly shocked.
Zhixia saw him swaying and immediately stepped forward to support Lu Feng: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I seem to have awakened my superpowers."
"Superpowers?" Zhixia was stunned.
According to the information infused into his mind, Lu Feng came to the fire extinguisher box and gently touched the metal box in front of Zhixia. As his mind moved, the metal box began to twist and deform, and then disappeared in front of Zhixia's astonished expression.
"Successfully decomposed the metal box, industrial material decomposition proficiency +5, steel +2kg"
"What are you doing?"
"After killing that zombie, I awakened my superpowers. Have you read any superpower novels or movies? Have you seen X-Men? Something like that?"
Listening to Lu Feng's mysterious explanation, Zhixia seemed to understand but not quite.
She must have read novels and watched movies about supernatural powers, but she found it hard to understand that such an outrageous thing could happen in reality. However, she soon calmed down. Even zombies appeared in reality, so what else was impossible?
Lu Feng picked up the dry powder fire extinguisher, and with a thought, the entire fire extinguisher began to twist and deform. It took him two minutes to disassemble the fire extinguisher. No pressure relief occurred during the process. The entire fire extinguisher and the dry powder filled inside were all stored in the industrial material storage space.
"Successfully disassembled the fire extinguisher. Industrial material disassembly proficiency +6, steel +2.3kg, dry powder +4kg, rubber +0.15kg."
Then he disassembled another fire extinguisher in front of Zhixia.
The materials obtained are the same as before.
After three tests, Lu Feng discovered that the speed of decomposing objects is closely related to the decomposition level, material structure, and material quality. The more complex the structure and the greater the mass, the slower the decomposition.
And his current storage space for industrial raw materials is limited.
Only 10 cubic meters.
"Wait for me a moment!"
"Um!"
Lu Feng used his mind to call out the panel, looked around in "Industrial Manufacturing/Maintenance", used 1 research point to unlock "Basic Tool Manufacturing", selected the fire axe, and made two 2kg fire axes.
"Make two fire axes, industrial manufacturing/repair proficiency +6"
The ground space in front of him twisted and deformed, and two fire axes appeared out of thin air.
"This is?"
Zhixia looked at the two fire axes on the ground.
Lu Feng picked up the fire axe and handed it to Zhixia, adding some weight to it. It felt very comfortable to use, and then he used the remaining steel to make an axe.
Industrial manufacturing proficiency increased by +3 again.
At this moment, the fire door on the sixth floor was pushed open again, and a fat, bloated middle-aged man rushed down from the upstairs. When he passed by the headless zombie, he was frightened and jumped into the air. When he landed, he almost stepped on the zombie's overflowing brain matter.
The man looked at Zhixia and Lu Feng, and was about to continue running down when he suddenly noticed that the young man was holding a fire axe in his left hand and a hatchet in his right hand. He immediately stopped and looked at the tool in Lu Feng's hand: "Hey, young man, can you sell me the hatchet?"
Without waiting for Lu Feng to speak, the middle-aged man took off the big gold chain around his neck, which was as thick as his little finger, and put it in Lu Feng's hand, and took away his axe.
Lu Feng looked at the gold chain in his hand, then at the man in front of him. He was about to warn him of the danger below, but the fat man said directly: "What are you looking at? I'm giving you a gold chain in exchange for an axe. I'm giving you face."
After saying this, the man rushed down without looking back.
"Oh, damn!"
The terrifying growls of zombies came from downstairs...
The fire escape below the third floor was completely blocked by a dense swarm of zombies. None of the people who had just rushed downstairs were spared and all of them turned into zombies.
Whoever goes down at this time will die.
The sickening smell of blood hit my nose.
In the passage, the growling sounds of the zombies became clearer and clearer.
A man with blood all over his face ran up from downstairs holding an axe. Lu Feng noticed the missing flesh on the right side of the man's face, and then pulled Zhixia to the sixth floor and quickly opened the fire door. At the moment of closing, one of the man's arms suddenly stretched out and blocked the fire door from closing.
"Brother! Come on, let me in, I'll give you a million!" As the man spoke, a large number of zombies roared and chased him downstairs. He squeezed in desperately, "Brother! Save my life!"
Lu Feng used his body to hold the fire door tightly.
Zhixia looked at Lu Feng: "Will I turn into a zombie if I get bitten?"
"Yes, think about the couple in the theater just now!"
Zhixia took two steps back and took a running start pose.
Lu Feng understood.
Taking advantage of the moment when Zhixia rushed forward, Lu Feng quickly opened the fire door.
Zhixia kicked the man out.
The moment Lu Feng closed the fire door, the man cursed: "Ah, fuck your mother!"
Immediately afterwards, a terrible howl was heard from the other side of the fire door.
"Ahhhh!"
Lu Feng quickly locked the fire door.
In this situation, there is absolutely no way out. The bitten person will mutate within seconds, minutes, or even tens of minutes depending on his physical condition. Even if he is let in, the man will definitely die, and it will increase the risk for both of them.
The sixth floor of the mall is the office area for internal staff.
The fire door behind him clanged loudly. Lu Feng, fire axe in hand, moved forward cautiously, carefully checking each office. Since it was 9:00 PM, the staff had already left work, and the entire mall office area was empty, which gave them some time to breathe and rest.
Entering the general manager's office, Lu Feng saw the photo of the man in a suit on the huge desk, then walked to the window and looked outside.
Zhixia stood beside Lu Feng.
What greeted them was Lanjiang City, shrouded in billowing smoke. A ball of fire rose in the distance, a gas station in the distance. Below, cars lay haphazardly parked on the streets, many overturned and burning. A horde of zombies frantically pursued the survivors.
A hundred meters away from an office building, a figure flew out of the broken window and fell heavily to the ground. Behind him, seven or eight figures jumped down together. After falling to the ground, those zombies quickly stood up, their bodies staggering, and surrounded the person who had jumped from the building, eating him frantically.
"this..."
Zhixia's eyes suddenly widened.
Lu Feng took a breath of cold air.
He hadn't expected the infection to spread so quickly. It looked like the disaster wasn't just limited to the mall, but to the entire city, maybe even the world.
He sat down in his boss's chair, turned on his computer, and logged into Tieba. All the posts from all over the place were about the zombie outbreak. He quickly browsed other social platforms, which were filled with messages for help.
Zhixia turned on the TV and saw an emergency warning broadcast, reminding everyone in various cities to take shelter nearby and wait for rescue.
Outside, the sound of helicopter propellers could be heard. Lu Feng turned around and saw the helicopter's door suddenly open, and the pilot jumped out...
The helicopter spiraled down rapidly out of control, crashing into the tide of corpses on the ground and exploding violently.
Zhixia quickly took out her cell phone and called her parents.
Called N times in a row...
"How about it?"
Zhixia looked worried and shook her head slightly.
"Zhixia, don't worry too much. Your uncle and aunt will be safe. The most important thing now is that we must survive. Only by surviving can we find your uncle and aunt." Lu Feng patted Zhixia's shoulder. "Where are they now?"
"In my hometown..."
Zhixia turned around and gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall.
"Yanbei City?"
"Um."
Lanjiang is a full 1,000 kilometers away from Yanbei. No matter what, they can't rush there right now. After a moment of silence, Lu Feng changed the sad topic: "I thought about it. Zombies can't swim. I've awakened the ability to transform ships and manufacture industry. We should go to the docks, find a ship, and build a river shelter first."
"I'm very confused now, you decide..."
After saying that, Zhixia sat on the sofa and covered her face with her hands.
Lu Feng took out his cell phone and dialed the number of his roommate and best friend Peng Yu.
The call took a long time to get through.
Peng Yu's voice came from the receiver:
"Fuck, Lu Feng, why didn't you answer my call?"
"I was just watching a movie and muted it."
"I'm telling you, it's the end of the world! All the teachers and classmates have turned into zombies. It's horrible."
Hearing from Peng Yu that all the classmates had turned into zombies, Lu Feng felt extremely heavy-hearted. At that moment, he felt the helplessness that Zhixia had felt when she couldn't contact her family. Holding back his inner grief, he murmured, "I know... It's the same here. The mall is full of mutant zombies. Where are the other people in the dormitory?"
"I don't know about the others, but when it happened, Dong Qi and I were on the rooftop of the teaching building, looking at the stars. Luckily, we were there. If we were downstairs or in the dormitory, we would have been eaten by those monsters."
"Peng Yu, listen up! The entire Lanjiang River is doomed to fall. It's known that being bitten by zombies...will turn you into one. So you and Dong Qi must be careful and avoid being bitten. The brain is their weak spot. There should be a fire axe in the fire hydrant box in the corridor."
"Okay, I understand."
"Zombies probably can't swim. I plan to take Zhixia to the riverside pier to find a boat. If possible... we'll meet there. It's very chaotic outside right now, and it's hard to get out. So... we'll set off tomorrow afternoon and meet at the riverside pier at dusk."
"Okay, no problem. See you at the riverside pier tomorrow afternoon!"
"Be sure to stay safe!"
"Don't worry!"
Peng Yu hung up the phone.
Lu Feng came to Zhixia and patted her shoulder gently: "I contacted Peng Yu, he is with Dong Qi."
Hearing Dong Qi's name, Zhixia raised her head and looked at Lu Feng.
"I've agreed with them to meet at the riverside pier tomorrow afternoon. There are zombies everywhere outside, and we can't get out right now. We'll just have to stay here tonight."
"Um..."
Just then, a "ding" sound was heard from the far end of the corridor.
Lu Feng thought something was wrong, picked up the fire axe, walked to the office door and looked outside.
Six or seven zombies walked out of the elevator...
"What happened?"
"lie!"
Lu Feng held the fire axe handle tightly in his right hand.
Zhixia came behind Lu Feng holding a fire axe.
The group of zombies paced back and forth aimlessly in the empty corridor. Suddenly, the zombie walking in front seemed to smell something and walked towards Lu Feng and Zhixia.
Right now, they have no way out.
They must be resolved.
When the first zombie showed up, Lu Feng raised the fire axe and was about to chop it down, but Zhixia got there first. The red fire axe directly split the zombie's head in half, and black and red blood mixed with brain tissue splattered out.
The next second, Zhixia suddenly covered her forehead.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I seem to have also awakened... my supernatural powers..."
Chapter 4 Test Breakdown!
While Zhixia was in a trance, the zombies wandering in the corridor noticed the movement here at the same time. After seeing the living people, they went berserk and rushed towards the office where Lu Feng was.
Without time to think, Lu Feng stood in the middle of the corridor, blocking Zhixia, picked up the fire axe, raised it and chopped it down. With a "pop", the head of the first zombie that rushed up cracked to both sides like a ripe pistachio, and the gushing black and red blood splashed on Lu Feng. He kicked forward suddenly and kicked the zombie over.
Since Zhixia was right behind him, Lu Feng had no way to retreat and could only move forward.
With a head-on chop, the zombie's head was separated from its neck and fell to the ground at Lu Feng's feet. Its black pupils were fixed on Lu Feng's calves, and its mouth opened and closed, trying to bite the tempting flesh.
Lu Feng kicked its head off and it hit the head of a zombie.
After all, he has received systematic military training and can still deal with a small number of brainless zombies. In the end times, the most terrifying thing is not two or three zombies, but the endless tide of zombies.
Even if you can kill ten, twenty, or thirty zombies, you will eventually be eaten by the zombies due to exhaustion. It is also extremely dangerous to be completely blocked by the zombies in a small space.
The most important thing to kill zombies is to overcome the fear in your heart.
Lu Feng chopped down three zombies in a row, buying enough time for Zhixia.
Just as he raised the fire axe and aimed it at the fourth zombie's head, Zhixia rushed over and chopped it down at an angle. The axe blade cut into the base of the ear and directly chopped off the zombie's cerebellum. He then pulled out the fire axe with force.
"How are you?"
"It's okay! The last two, one for each of us!"
Puff——
The last two zombies had their heads split open and fell to the ground.
After clearing the zombies in the corridor, Lu Feng rushed to the elevator with a fire axe, pressed the elevator door open, and used the fire extinguisher box next to it to block the elevator door, preventing the elevator from closing and going down.
There were still zombies banging on the door in the stairwell next to it. Fortunately, the fire door was strong enough and the zombies were unconscious and couldn't unlock it.
Looking back at Zhixia, Lu Feng asked, "What superpowers have you awakened?"
"treat."
"What's the treatment?"
Zhixia shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
At the moment, Lu Feng and Zhixia were not injured. Even if she wanted to try, no one would let her. She couldn't treat a zombie lying on the ground.
Lu Feng has the ability to transform ships and engage in industrial manufacturing. This ability doesn't seem that powerful in the early stages. He thought Zhixia would awaken a combat ability, but he didn't expect it to be healing. But that's okay, it's better than ordinary people without abilities. He just doesn't know if Zhixia's healing ability can cure infected humans.
"Any hints? Like, will words appear before your eyes?"
"There's no text."
"Then how do you know that the superpower is healing?"
"It's subconscious. I can't explain it well."
Lu Feng nodded thoughtfully. When he awakened his superpowers, the light curtain and information flow in front of him were synchronized. This might be because his superpowers required unlocking the technology tree and selecting the category of manufactured items, so there was a special text light curtain.
"If you have a chance, try your special ability to see if you can cure those infected people." Lu Feng walked in front of Zhixia and suddenly found that the black and red blood flowing out of the zombies was about to stain Zhixia's feet, so he quickly picked her up like a princess.
"ah!"
It was the first time that Zhixia was carried like a princess, the first time that she was in such close contact with Lu Feng, and the first time that she felt Lu Feng's strong heartbeat. Her little heart was pounding wildly, and a blush instantly appeared on her cheeks.
After carrying Zhixia back to the general manager's office and gently placing her on the sofa, Lu Feng looked at Zhixia and said, "You take a rest first. I'll go to other offices to see if I can find shoes."
"good!"
After Lu Feng left, Zhixia gently stroked her chest and slowly exhaled.
Lu Feng searched everywhere in the general manager's secretary's office. On the desk stood a photo frame, and the photo inside was of the woman in the floral dress whom he met in the stairwell.
I casually opened the drawer and saw two boxes of Durex 001, next to which was a box of levonorgestrel tablets.
After closing the drawer, Lu Feng came to a door leading to the next room, reached out and turned the door handle, and found that it was locked. He used a fire axe to dig open the door lock in two strokes and pushed the door open.
This is a very nicely decorated dark room with a 2m x 2m De La Mousse bed, a wardrobe, a TV, and a separate bathroom. It is almost a suite in a five-star hotel.
Walking around Mousse's bed, Lu Feng opened the door opposite.
He saw Zhixia sitting on the sofa and said to himself, "The boss is always good at playing..."
Zhixia turned her head and looked at Lu Feng who was standing at the door of the inner room.
Returning to the boss's love room, Lu Feng found a pair of women's AJs under the wardrobe, and then took them to Zhixia and placed them on the ground: "Come, try them on to see if they fit."
Zhixia tried on the shoes and said, "Not bad."
Lu Feng looked at the love room and said, "There's a bed in there. You can rest in there tonight. I'll sleep on the sofa."
"Um!"
Late at night, Lu Feng arranged for Zhixia to come and go to the corridor alone. He dragged all the zombie bodies here into the office next door. The zombie head that had been kicked like a ball was still crackling. Lu Feng raised the fire axe and smashed it with the other end.
After cleaning up the corpse, Lu Feng decided to decompose some industrial raw materials while he was temporarily safe. He placed his palm on the metal filing cabinet, and with a thought, the filing cabinet began to slowly twist and deform.
It took him more than twenty minutes to disassemble the filing cabinet, and after he finished, he became a little depressed.
"Successfully decomposed the filing cabinet, industrial material decomposition proficiency +10, steel +60kg, silicon dioxide +15kg"
Continue disassembling another identical filing cabinet.
"Successfully disassembled the filing cabinet, Industrial Material Disassembly Proficiency +10, Steel +60.5kg, Silica +15.2kg"
After two tests, Lu Feng found that decomposing larger objects not only took a long time, but also required a lot of energy. Just two metal filing cabinets made him feel tired.
"It seems that we can't decompose items when they are dangerous."
After a short rest, Lu Feng continued to decompose other items until he felt sleepy and his energy was about to be exhausted. Then he stopped. After several hours of decomposition, he obtained a total of 470kg of steel.
Due to limited storage space, he had to give up a large amount of silica, rubber, wood, and plant fiber. Some raw materials were very light and large in size, and would take up a lot of space.
However, the gold chain must be stored in the storage space, as some high-end precision industrial products, such as chips and circuit boards, require gold.
Tired, Lu Feng returned to the general manager's office and lay directly on the sofa, his eyelids gradually closing...
Creak—the sound of the door opening was heard.
Standing at the door of the love room, Zhixia looked at the man who gave her a sense of security in the moonlight from the window...
Returning to the room, Zhixia took out a quilt and gently covered Lu Feng with it, then she gently placed it on the edge of the sofa and sat down, quietly looking at the sleeping Lu Feng. The disaster had struck, her parents had lost contact, and she couldn't fall asleep at all.
Lanjiang City is located in the middle reaches of Hengjiang River, at the confluence of two rivers. Hengjiang River runs almost through the entire Central Plains from west to east, and its estuary is Donghai City. The temperature in early March is still relatively cool.
Moonlight poured into the office, and Zhixia sat there for three hours.
Suddenly, Zhixia seemed to hear gunshots outside, so she stood up and went to the window to check. In the dark night, a light flashed frequently behind the anorectal hospital opposite the mall.
"That's... Riverside Wharf."
The main reason why Lu Feng wanted to go to Jiang'an Wharf was that it was close. Across from the shopping mall where they were was the Lanjiang City Anorectal Hospital, and the hospital was backed by Jiang'an Wharf.
The straight-line distance is about 500 meters.
Zhixia opened the window a little, and the gunshots became clearer and more frequent. Judging from the flashing light, there must be a lot of people shooting over there.
Could it be the army?
boom!
A ball of fire rose up, followed by an explosion. However, due to the distance, the explosion was not loud.
Lu Feng was still fast asleep on the sofa. He was very tired from having spent a lot of energy on decomposing the raw materials.
Zhixia looked down, and with the help of the streetlights, she saw a huge tide of zombies attracted by the gunshots and heading towards the dock. Thousands of zombies also appeared in other directions.
The zombies in the mall were also attracted by the gunshots and staggered out.
She took out her cell phone and continued to dial her parents' number.
Still can't get in touch.
At this moment, a huge passenger plane appeared in Zhixia's field of vision. The plane dived rapidly in the night sky and crashed into the river in the distance. A huge fireball rose up. A few seconds later, the glass in front of Zhixia began to vibrate with a buzzing sound.
She took a deep breath and stared at the fireball rising in the distance, stunned for a long time. Looking back, she saw Lu Feng was still sleeping soundly. In order to let him get a better rest, Zhixia did not call him.
She returned to Lu Feng and sat on the other side. Unconsciously, Zhixia gently rested her head on Lu Feng's calf and slowly closed her eyes.
The next day at noon.
Zhixia woke up quietly, opened her eyes, and found herself lying on the sofa with a quilt covering her. She looked up and saw Lu Feng sitting in the boss chair looking at something.
"You're awake." Seeing Zhixia wake up, Lu Feng filled a glass of water from the water dispenser, walked to the sofa, and handed the cup to her: "Drink some water, I only found some snacks."
"When did you get up? Why didn't I feel it?" Zhixia took the water handed to her by Lu Feng and took a big sip.
"Maybe you are too tired. I just got up not long ago. When I was collecting supplies, I found the architectural drawings of the shopping mall." Lu Feng returned to his desk, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at the architectural drawings spread out on the table.
Zhixia came to Lu Feng's side, glanced at the blueprint, and said, "Last night, there was intense gunfire from the direction of the Jiangan Wharf. I think it was the army. It lasted for about an hour, and then there was no more sound."
Lu Feng turned to look at Zhixia: "Why didn't you call me?"
"I see you're too tired. And... it's no use calling you. There were at least a few thousand zombies gathered under the mall last night. Even if there were rescue efforts at the dock, we wouldn't be able to get through from where we are."
"Well, you do have a point. I was indeed too tired last night. From now on, I must use my supernatural powers in moderation and ensure absolute safety. Decomposing materials requires a lot of my energy."
"What are your plans next? Are we going to the dock again? Have you contacted Peng Yu and Dong Qi?" Zhixia asked.
Lu Feng placed his phone in front of Zhixia and unlocked it: "I can't contact you for the time being. When I got up, there was no signal."
Zhixia looked at her phone screen and saw that there was no signal. She immediately took out her own phone and found that there was no signal either. A look of worry instantly appeared on her cheeks. This meant that her last hope of contacting her parents was gone...
Lu Feng wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, it's okay. Tell me about your plan." Zhixia adjusted her mood and said.
"My ability is closely related to ships. We must go to the docks. Besides, I've already made an appointment with Peng Yu and the others. I just observed the situation outside. There aren't many zombies on the streets. Going through the hospital is the shortest route to the Jiang'an Docks. I checked earlier, and there are still zombies in the fire escape. I don't know what the situation is like inside the mall right now."
Lu Feng pointed to the elevator shaft on the architectural drawing: "While the mall still has power, we can go down the elevator shaft. If there aren't many zombies on the first floor, we can rush all the way to the hospital."
"Then do as you say."
"Have some snacks first to replenish your energy."
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"I've eaten."
Zhixia took the potato chips that Lu Feng handed over.
While Zhixia was eating, Lu Feng left the general manager's office. A few minutes later, he returned with four shoelaces in his hand: "I used my supernatural powers to make some simple protective gear."
Coming back to Zhixia, Lu Feng picked up the simple cone-shaped arm guard made of steel on the table, put a sponge torn from the sofa on Zhixia's forearm, put on the cone-shaped arm guard, and then passed the shoelaces through the opening and tied a knot.
"If you really can't avoid them, you can use this thing to prevent them from biting you." As he said that, Lu Feng put on protective gear for Zhixia's other arm.
Zhixia looked at the other person's face: "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."
"I've watched a lot of zombie movies."
Next, it was Zhixia's turn to put on a simple arm guard for Lu Feng.
After putting on protective gear, Lu Feng glued a piece of mirror to the axe, and then the two of them each put on the backpacks they found in the office area.
Everything was ready. Lu Feng, holding a fire axe in his left hand and a prepared crowbar in his right hand, brought Zhixia to the elevator. The elevator door, which was blocked by an obstacle last night, was still opening and closing.
Lu Feng moved the fire extinguisher box, pressed the fifth floor button, and exited the elevator.
If they took the elevator directly down to the first floor, it would be extremely dangerous. Who could guarantee that there would be no zombies outside when the elevator door opened? If they were blocked by a group of zombies, they would surely die even if they had special powers.
When the elevator descended to the fifth floor, Lu Feng used a crowbar to pry open the elevator door, and looked down. The elevator was parked on the fifth floor. He grabbed the steel cable and descended to the top of the elevator, followed closely by Zhixia.
Use a crowbar to pry open the vent on the top of the elevator and look inside. No zombies have entered. Reach the crowbar into the elevator and press the button for the first floor. The elevator starts to descend.
"Follow me closely and don't look back!"
"OK!"
Ding Dong——
The elevator arrived at the first floor and the doors opened to both sides.
Lu Feng extended the fire axe with a lens attached to it...
Through the reflection of the lens, Lu Feng saw what was happening outside the elevator.
There were eight zombies wandering around within the field of vision.
Lu Feng lowered his voice: "I'll get off first, and then pick you up. You must follow me closely."
Zhixia made an "OK" gesture.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Feng jumped down and caught Zhixia. At the same time, the zombies outside the elevator smelled the scent of living people and turned towards the elevator.
The zombies let out creepy growls.
"Walk!"
Lu Feng rushed out of the elevator and raised his hand to insert the crowbar into the head of a zombie.
Inside the first floor of the mall, there are hundreds of zombies.
One zombie made a sound, and the attention of the other zombies was attracted. The group of zombies rushed towards the elevator.
Lu Feng and Zhixia rushed out of the mall regardless of everything. The broken glass under their feet made a crisp "crackling" sound. The two rushed out of the mall and came outside. The zombies wandering in the square at the main entrance faced Lu Feng and his friends.
Can't stay here.
Lu Feng took the lead and rushed to the road.
Zhixia followed closely behind.
A large number of zombies followed behind them.
The zombies on the street heard the noise and moved towards this side together, and a tide of zombies gradually formed.
Fortunately, the gunshots last night attracted a large number of zombies, otherwise they would never have been able to leave the mall today.
Lu Feng chopped down several zombies that blocked his way.
They crossed the road and rushed into the hospital. The zombies hiding under the wall pounced on them. Lu Feng blocked the zombies' bites with his left arm and swung the fire axe with his right hand to chop off a zombie's head.
Just as another zombie was about to pounce on Lu Feng, Zhixia chopped off the other's head with an axe.
A large number of zombies rushed out from the backyard of the hospital, and the tide of zombies behind them were chasing them closely. Lu Feng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pulled Zhixia into the hospital complex building.
In the general hall, the security guards, doctors, nurses, and patients who had turned into zombies let out shrill howls. Lu Feng pulled Zhixia along the fire escape all the way up to the sixth floor, rushed into the urology inpatient department, quickly closed the glass double doors behind him, and inserted the fire axe in his hand into the door handle.
The group of zombies that caught up from behind clung to the glass door, their limbs digging into the edge of the door frame like dead branches, their knuckles almost embedding into the cracks in the glass. Their disgusting bloody faces pressed against the glass, their facial features twisted into a ball, their eyeballs cloudy and bloodshot, staring intently at Lu Feng and Zhixia inside.
The entire glass door shook violently under the push of the zombies.
Lu Feng used his supernatural powers to create a fire axe.
Zhixia murmured, "This door won't last long."
"Follow me!"
Lu Feng ran inside.
Maybe this hospital is a rectal hospital. There are not many patients in the urology department where they are, and there are not many zombies. There are only a few in sight, and they were all chopped to the ground by Zhixia and Lu Feng.
call--
Zhixia's breathing became heavier and heavier, and her physical strength decreased significantly.
She is a girl after all, and no matter what, she can never compare to Lu Feng.
"Are you okay?" Lu Feng looked at Zhixia.
"I'm fine..."
Lu Feng helped Zhixia into the nurses' station: "You rest here first, I'll go see if there is another way."
"Okay, be careful!" Zhixia sat on the chair. After Lu Feng left, she noticed the pharmacy in front of her...
Lu Feng came to the end of the corridor, pushed open the door of the ward, and the nurse blocking the door came into his sight.
The young nurse has an oval face and fair skin. Her eyes are like obsidian immersed in water, clear and deep. The saliva flowing from between her red lips and white teeth is like a spring. Against the backdrop of the flesh-colored stockings under her apron, she looks charming. She is staring at the handsome man in front of her without blinking.
Lu Feng raised the fire axe and chopped it down fiercely.
In an instant, the skull shattered, black blood splattered everywhere, and the disgusting smell of blood filled the air.
"I have no interest in zombies."
Stepping over the zombies, Lu Feng entered the ward and went to the window to look at the riverside dock just across the street. They had to reach the dock and find a usable boat before the tide of zombies completely surrounded them.
At this moment, a zombie wearing a white coat, with its right eyeball drooping outside the eye socket only connected by the optic nerve and fascia, suddenly appeared behind Lu Feng. Before it could make a pounce or bite, its head was split open by the fire axe raised high behind it.
Lu Feng turned around and looked.
"I've collected some medicine. All the zombies here have been cleared out, and this one is the only one that slipped through the net." Zhixia kicked the zombie over, pulled out the fire axe stuck in its skull, and casually tossed a bottle of glucose to Lu Feng, "Take it!"
Lu Feng raised his hand to catch the bottle of glucose, pried open the sealing cap, tilted his head back and drank it in big gulps. Drinking some glucose could quickly restore some strength.
"That door won't last long, you'd better find a way quickly!" Zhixia also drank a bottle of glucose.
"Help me keep an eye on it while I break down some materials."
Lu Feng walked to the bed, grasped the metal part at the end of the bed, and moved his mind. The metal bed began to slowly twist and deform and gradually decompose. After about two minutes, after expending some energy, the bed completely disappeared.
[Successfully decomposed the hospital bed, industrial material decomposition proficiency +8, steel +15.7kg]
There is an additional 0.002 cubic meters of steel in the raw material storage space, about 15.7 kg. Together with the steel collected previously, there is now a total of 485.7 kg of steel in the raw material storage space.
Lu Feng used a fire axe to smash the glass of the ward window.
At the same time, the sound of breaking glass came from the other end of the corridor. A group of zombies broke through the glass door of the inpatient department and rushed over, smelling the scent of the two of them.
"Lu Feng, they are rushing in, hurry!"
Zhixia quickly closed the ward door, holding the axe in both hands, staring at the door.
The horde of zombies ran wildly in the corridor until it reached the end and blocked the door of the ward where Lu Feng was. Growls and howls came one after another. The zombies leaned against the observation window of the ward, baring their fangs and sticking out their bloody tongues to lick the glass in front of them.
Seeing two living people in the ward, the zombies became even more excited. The wooden ward door was violently slammed, the metal door lock kept shaking, and the lock tongue gradually showed signs of cracking.
Zhixia stepped back slowly.
Lu Feng opened the industrial product manufacturing option, used 1 research point to unlock plate manufacturing, consumed 471 kilograms of steel, and made a rectangular steel plate that was 10 meters long, 30 centimeters wide, and 2 centimeters thick, and placed it on the roof of the opposite building.
Lu Feng pulled Zhixia to the window: "You go first!"
Zhixia was pushed directly up by Lu Feng. The ground between the two buildings was full of hungry zombies. These monsters became violent when they smelled the breath of living people floating down from above their heads. They looked up, raised their arms high, and a hint of greed appeared on their hideous faces.
The two buildings are 7 meters apart, and the steel plate has support points only at both ends. After Zhixia walked forward about two meters, the middle section of the steel plate began to sink and fluctuate up and down, making it difficult to maintain balance.
Zhixia stretched out her arms to both sides, trying to maintain her balance.
"Don't look down, believe in yourself!" Lu Feng shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the observation window on the wooden ward door was smashed by the zombie's head. Hearing the sound of glass breaking behind him, Lu Feng turned around suddenly, picked up the fire axe, walked over and chopped the zombie's head in half.
Zhixia gritted her teeth and took two steps forward.
at the same time,
The zombies broke through the door, and a large number of zombies rushed in...
