When they arrived at the food wholesale market, if it wasn't for the general layout and the clear billboard that showed that they were in the right place, it would be difficult to associate this place with the neat and clean market in the picture. Fortunately, everyone was mentally prepared. After the apocalypse, if they saw a clean and tidy place, they would be surprised and not used to it.
The truck stopped, and the minibus stopped one after another to maintain a safe distance between them. Four people got out of the truck. Seeing that the people on the minibus did not get out, the Hope team remained motionless. Because they were new, it was safer to tail them in unfamiliar situations. If they didn't understand anything, they could just refer to the previous teams.
Sure enough, the four people jogged to the front and got into some cars. One or two minutes later, the cars started to move. After a few rounds, they finally cleared out an empty space. Zhang Tiesheng parked his car in the center of the open area once again. The other vehicles followed him and parked after a safe distance. After Zhang Tiesheng got off the minibus and made a hand gesture, all the people on the minibus exited the minibus one after another, closely followed by the Hope Team.
After seeing them all get off the vehicle and gather around, Zhang Tiesheng quickly assigned tasks,""There are many shops in this market. We can't visit every shop. We mainly choose food that is easy to fill our stomachs, such as grain and oil, preserved products, canned food, and so on. The four of you will be split into two groups, and the second group will be staggered to deliver the goods. Safety first! Alright, since there weren't many zombies yet, they had to act quickly!”
Besides Zhang Tie, the others all ran towards their destination. The parking spot was not far from the destination, and they arrived in a few minutes. Everyone divided their work. The second team transported grain and oil, while the second team transported preserved products and canned food.
Previously, in the car, each team had been assigned to be in charge of transporting and escorting. At the same time, the captain of each team was responsible for escorting. At this moment, the guards were on guard with weapons in their hands. The people in charge of moving the goods found a fork lift and directly loaded the goods into the car.
The Hope Squad was carried by Yu Xiaowei, Guo Rui, Zhao Yuedan, and Lu Hui, who had weaker combat strength. The other three were guarding them.
After training, the members of the team were definitely stronger than ordinary people, including Zhao Ledan, who had the weakest physical strength. Now, his strength was comparable to that of an ordinary man. Besides, they had already taken off their weights before carrying out the mission. At this moment, they all felt as light as swallows. This little bit of moving work was not a problem.
The zombies in the market had been strolling through the shops and corridors like they were taking a stroll. Now, they heard strange sounds (although they had tried their best to control the noise made by the vehicles, the zombies 'sharp hearing and sense of smell were not inferior to hearing). The signal of "food is coming" stimulated them to gather excitedly and quickly, forming a dumpling wrapping posture.
The people who participated in the mission were all experienced in combat. They were not as afraid of zombies as ordinary people, but there were too many zombies!
Some of the people in the other three teams who were responsible for moving the goods did not forget to guard against the "sneak attack" of the zombies during the process of moving the goods. Only the people in the Hope Team were focused on moving the goods and did not worry about their own safety at all. It was not that they were not cautious enough, but they trusted their teammates 'strength and sense of responsibility. The others did not notice because they were too busy to take care of themselves. However, the soldier in charge of their team's security noticed this because his attention was on them. In surprise, he looked up to their team even more. Especially when he saw that the combat strength of the three members in charge of escorting was above the other teams, and even the female members were so powerful (the women in charge of escorting and transporting were no worse than the men), he planned to report the situation of their team to the leader when he returned, hoping to cooperate more in the future. It would be even better if he could persuade them to join his team.
The members of the Hope Squad did not know that this soldier had already thought so far ahead. At this moment, they cooperated well and arrived at the truck first, loading it neatly. Standing in the trunk of the truck, Zhang Tie was slashing the zombies who were trying to climb up the truck. Even though they were stiff and could hardly climb up the truck, it was still disgusting to see so many claws. Seeing that a small team was coming over, he quickly helped to pick up the goods and handed the zombies around the car to the people in charge of guarding the car.
The Hunter Squad also arrived right after them. When the two teams finished loading the goods and were about to make their second trip, the Bravehearts Squad and the Mighty Squad arrived just in time.
The more zombies there were, the more obstacles there were. The body fluids of the zombies splattered everywhere. Some of them accidentally splashed on people's faces. The members of the Hope team were all wearing masks and hats, so they were not worried that these disgusting things would accidentally splash on their faces and get infected. When they first saw them dressed like this, they were teased. Those who didn't know better would think that they were from the Flying Tigers. Now that they knew the benefits of dressing like this, they silently calculated in their hearts that they would do the same next time.
The passage between the shops was originally quite spacious. There should have been many people who had come here during the apocalypse. It seemed that there were more ordinary survivors. They took some here and some there, not caring about the things that had fallen down in the passage. Other than the zombies, their current care for the people who came after them had caused such a chaotic situation.
Other than moving goods and killing zombies, they also had to clear some obstacles from time to time, which made them seem quite flustered.
Li Xi was standing guard beside the shelf. He inadvertently glanced at the gap of the shelf next to him from the corner of his eye. A stiff green-white arm with long nails stretched out, and its target was a member of the hunter team responsible for moving. He was bending down to lift the box under his feet, so he naturally did not see the danger coming from above. His bodyguard was facing away from him to deal with another zombie.
After all, they were partners who were carrying out a mission together. It was a little unreasonable to leave them in the lurch. He quickly looked around at the people he was protecting. There were no problems. Li Xi decided to make a move. At this moment, she was close to two arms away from the person. It was too late to run over. If she warned him, she was afraid that she would make things worse. He would die even faster because of his panic. Fortunately, she had a whip with her. This consideration, the decision to make a move, and how to make a move seemed to have gone through a few thoughts, but in fact, only two seconds had passed.
When the zombie's arm was only one centimeter away from the man's head, Li Xi's whip had already wrapped around the man's waist. He pulled and pulled. When the zombie's arm stopped where the man's head should be, Li Xi had already pulled the man to his side and supported him. The man was still confused about the situation.
This movement naturally attracted the attention of others. They all looked over and saw the person beside Li Xi. They saw a stiff arm stretching out from where the person was originally standing, accompanied by the unwilling roar of the zombie. They immediately understood what had happened. Especially the hunter team member who was in charge of guarding, his face was pale with shock, and the person who reacted was in the same state. Then, he felt relieved and thanked Li Xi.
"You're welcome. Hurry up and work. There are more and more zombies!”Li Xi did not care if others thanked her. At this time, she only hoped to complete the task as soon as possible.
After this incident, everyone moved even faster, and the people in charge of defense became even more careful.
After three trips, the truck was finally filled. The four soldiers stayed behind to guard the truck. Next, it was the turn of each team to move freely. They could choose their favorite food according to their needs.
This time, the four teams moved at the same time. In order to avoid crowding, everyone split up into four directions, but they were careful not to go too far from the parking lot.
Li Xi and the others planned to go to the grain and oil area first, then to the dry goods area and the seasoning area. As for the others, they would pretend to be whatever they saw nearby. They had no time to pick and choose.
Previously, when he was moving with other teams, there were too many people and it was not convenient for Li Xi to play tricks. At this moment, she first used her mental power to scan the area to make sure that there were no humans in the small area. Then, she chose an area where other people's vision was blind (if someone accidentally saw something disappear into thin air, it would be very troublesome) and used her mental power to store the items within the storage range into the space earring. These actions had to be done multiple times. If one took in too many items at once or if the items were too large, one would be mentally exhausted. It was very unsafe to be in a dangerous place.
After filling up the food, seasonings, and other necessities, Zhao Ledan couldn't help but choose some biscuits, chocolate, canned eight-treasure porridge, and other snacks. Food like puffed food that was not good for the body was not within everyone's consideration. The only two girls in the team did not like these either.
Everyone moved very quickly. In just 10 minutes or so, they were almost done. The main reason was that Li Xi had collected a lot of space earrings, so he was very confident. In addition, the number of zombies was increasing. Many ants could kill an elephant!
"That's enough. Hurry up and retreat!" Li Xi saw that they still wanted to add one or two more boxes, so he made a prompt decision.
The people in the team had always followed orders. Moreover, for them, Li Xi's orders were as effective as the captain's. At this time, when they heard the order, they immediately stopped their original actions and retreated in tacit understanding.
Lu Hui took the lead to open the door of the car. He then got into the car with Zhao Ledan and Guo Rui. They caught the boxes that the others passed to them. When they were all loaded into the car, they realized that they were the first team to arrive.
The truck was surrounded by many zombies. Zhang Tie and the others were driving them away. As there was nobody in the other vehicles, of course, the zombies didn't disturb them. However, the arrival of Li Xi's team attracted some zombies to surround them.
After another 5 minutes, the hunter team also arrived. Seeing that the other two teams had not arrived yet, Zhang Tie sent two soldiers to urge them.
A few minutes later, two soldiers returned. One of them shouted as he ran,""Hurry up and provide support! They are surrounded by zombies!"
Zhang Tiesheng could only ask for help from Li Xi's team and the hunters. However, they only sent a few people who were previously in charge of defense, while the others stayed in the car to sort out the goods.
When Li Xi and the others arrived, they only saw a circle of zombies outside, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Fortunately, the two teams met and could resist together. Unfortunately, they were surrounded at the same time and could not get out.
Sensing that there were people behind them, some of the zombies turned around and pounced on Li Xi and the others. The reinforcements quickly joined in the fight with the zombies.
Li Xi felt that this would not do. It was too inefficient. Their main purpose was to help the other party escape, not to clear out the zombies. As he looked around, he thought of a solution. Something that caught his eye made Li Xi's eyes light up. She quickly ran over and put the knife back into the scabbard. She held a stick that was about two meters long and as thick as an adult's arm with both hands and swept it horizontally at the zombies. The unprepared zombies were swept to the ground. It seemed that there were benefits to having a dense horde of zombies. If they were scattered, they would not have such a good effect.
The others saw that Li Xi's idea was good and followed suit. For a moment, they only heard the sound of zombies falling to the ground. However, they did not have intelligence and did not know how to learn from their experience. They only knew how to instinctively struggle to stand up and pounce on the " food ".
Zheng Ji was not like the others. He followed closely behind Li Xi and dealt with the scattered zombies that wanted to " sneak attack " her in time, so that Li Xi could focus on dealing with the zombie crowd in front of her.
