Chapter 22 Rescue
"Hang in there, I'm coming!"
Yu Yao responded into the walkie-talkie, then tossed it into her system inventory.
He said to Luo Mei, "They've run into some problems. I'll go check on them."
"I'll go with you!" Luo Mei said without hesitation, casually folding and gathering the unfinished potato chips.
Yu Yao deliberately retorted, "I'm going to get some benefits, why are you going?"
"play!"
"..."
Luo Mei snorted, put her hands on her hips, raised her long eyebrows, and spoke in a threatening tone.
"You dare try not to take me? I'll make a scene!"
"..."
Luo Mei insisted, and Yu Yao had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's go together!"
"That's more like it!" Luo Mei snorted, turned around, opened the car door, and got in.
Then he poked his head out and asked Yu Yao, "Do you know where they are???"
"Ah."
"Wow, sisters!"
Ignoring her antics, Yu Yao said, "I'll go tell Company Commander Fang."
"OK."
Upon hearing that Yu Yao was going to rescue someone, Company Commander Fang immediately decided to send a team with her.
Yu Yao quickly refused: "No need, Company Commander Fang. There are still so many survivors here who need protection. If we send some people away, the survivors here will probably get anxious."
Company Commander Fang thought for a moment, then sighed, "Alright, thank you for your hard work, Comrade Yu Yao."
"will not."
Company Commander Fang added, "We will find a place to spend the night nearby as soon as possible. Contact me via walkie-talkie when you return."
Yu Yao nodded, "I understand."
"Be careful, we'll be here waiting for you to come back." Company Commander Fang said, giving Yu Yao a deep look with a serious expression.
"OK, thanks."
......
After saying goodbye to Company Commander Fang, Yu Yao and Luo Mei drove towards the place where Ji Yan and the others were trapped.
It was none other than the Xinxin Shopping Mall that Yu Yao and Luo Mei had visited.
Xinxin Shopping Mall is not far from Jinjiang Garden, usually only about a ten-minute drive away.
But now many roads have been destroyed by the earthquake.
Although the zombies in the vicinity had all been attracted away by the so-called "treasure" and no longer bothered them.
But it still took them more than twenty minutes to walk this short distance.
As the car approached Xinxin Shopping Mall, Yu Yao and Luo Mei both frowned.
Even though Yu Yao knew about the situation beforehand, she was still shocked by the densely packed zombie heads in front of her.
Luo Mei couldn't help but complain, "Damn it! What did they do? How did they attract so many zombies?!"
Luo Mei was genuinely frightened; nearly a thousand zombies had swarmed outside the entrance of Xinxin Shopping Mall.
Among them were many level-one mutated zombies, making the scene extremely horrifying.
Yu Yao frowned as she looked at the horde of zombies not far away and said, "They must have been attracted by something. There are two of us living people here, so we shouldn't be ignored by any zombies."
"That's really strange!"
After Luo Mei finished speaking, she rolled down the car window to test whether the zombies would really ignore her.
Sure enough, not a single zombie paid any attention to them, which reassured her a lot.
Yu Yao said, "In that case, why don't we just charge in?"
She was now very curious about what kind of treasures were in the mall and why they had caused such a commotion.
To be even more greedy, she was also a little tempted by the experience these zombies brought her.
If you're lucky, you might even get some equipment or items.
“Sure! Let’s go big!” Luo Mei replied excitedly.
......
After saying that, the two got out of the car with their knives and slowly approached the rear of the zombie horde.
The zombies, however, acted as if they hadn't seen her and continued to squeeze into the mall.
Yu Yao didn't rush to take action. Instead, she glanced at the map of the mall and confirmed that it was almost completely filled with red dots.
She then observed the location where Ji Yan and the others were gathered.
They were found trapped in the kitchen of a restaurant on the third floor, and their situation was worrying.
After confirming everything, Yu Yao took immediate action, swiftly severing the head of the nearest zombie.
Blood splattered everywhere, but not a single zombie reacted!
Yu Yao narrowed her eyes and pursed her red lips slightly.
Since that's the case, then she... won't hold back!
Yu Yao tossed Luo Mei a broadsword that they had agreed upon beforehand.
He then gripped his twin swords and began clearing out the nearby zombies.
The level one zombies were cut like melons, showing no sign of resistance whatsoever.
In addition to gaining a lot of experience, they also obtained several crystal cores and several talismans.
However, she didn't take a closer look at it for the time being. Instead, she redeemed two pieces of equipment called "Flying Tiger Claw" from the system shop.
They cleared a path to the bottom of the mall and prepared to climb up to the third floor through the window.
The two quickly decided which window they would enter through.
It was right below the restaurant where Ji Yan and the others were.
......
Yu Yao looked at the window there, picked up a piece of broken brick, and weighed it in her hand.
He then smashed the third-floor window with all his might.
A loud shattering sound of glass followed by a woman's shrill scream.
Yu Yao frowned and threw out the grappling hook, thinking: For the treasure, for the treasure!
However, I've made up my mind to stay far away from Zhao Han from now on, the farther the better!
Using a grappling hook, Yu Yao swiftly climbed to the third floor and jumped into the restaurant lobby from the window.
The hotel lobby was crammed with zombies, and these zombies seemed to be more rational than those downstairs.
When Yu Yao jumped in through the window, several zombies paused slightly as they squeezed towards the kitchen where Ye Ziang and the others were hiding.
Just in case, Yu Yao first used the Sky-Covering Stone to conceal all her aura.
Then, while Luo Mei was slashing at the zombies, they slowly moved to the shop entrance.
Before the zombies can react, deal with the zombies blocking the door and close the shop door.
They quickly secured the doorknob with the chains of the grappling hook.
After doing all that, they cleared a path and pushed the counter over to block the doorway.
Only after confirming that the zombies behind could not easily enter did they begin to clear out the zombies inside the store.
Zombies have no sight and rely entirely on their sense of smell and hearing. With the Sky-Covering Stone activated, she essentially gained the ability to become invisible, allowing her to wreak havoc among the zombie horde.
On the other side, Luo Mei wielded a wide-bladed knife with an imposing aura, striking down one zombie with each blow.
Soon, together with Yu Yao, they dealt with the horde of zombies that were gradually regaining their senses.
Only then, stepping over the corpses of zombies scattered on the ground, did he knock on the kitchen door, which was about to be breached by the horde of zombies.
Luckily, the kitchen had a thick iron door; otherwise, they would have been eaten to the bone long ago.
"Ye Ziang, Ji Yan, are you alright?" Yu Yao knocked on the door and asked.
The kitchen door was quickly opened, revealing Ji Yan, who was pale-faced, with his clothes torn in several places, looking somewhat disheveled.
"Yu Yao? You really came!"
His voice was full of contradictions, seemingly happy that she had come, yet also somewhat blaming her for coming.
Yu Yao carefully examined him, making sure he had no external injuries before asking, "Are you alright? Can you walk?"
Ye Ziang, who had followed closely behind, said anxiously, "We are all fine, but Fang Lianjiao was scratched by a zombie, and her condition is not good now."
Yu Yao frowned as she walked into the kitchen and glanced at Fang Lianjiao, who was being held in Jiao Yang's arms.
She was trembling all over, her face was pale, and a deep wound on her chest was shocking.
"What happened?" Yu Yao asked.
Yu Yao asked casually, but was met with silence.
She looked up in confusion and found that everyone was staring at Zhao Han.
Zhao Han, looking innocent and aggrieved, frantically waved her hands and said, "No, no, it's not my fault, I was just too scared. I, I didn't, I didn't mean to!"
Luo Mei clicked her tongue. "She pushed it?"
Zhao Han screamed, "No, I didn't mean to!"
Jiao Yang looked at her with disgust. "Shut up! You're disgusting!"
After he finished speaking, he told Yu Yao and Luo Mei about the events surrounding Fang Lianjiao's injury.
It turned out that while they were collecting supplies at the Xinxin Shopping Mall, they were suddenly attacked by a large number of zombies.
Zhao Han screamed in terror, which only attracted more zombies to attack her.
Just as a zombie was about to grab her, she suddenly pulled Fang Lianjiao, who was standing next to her, and pushed her towards the zombie.
This resulted in Fang Lianjiao being scratched by zombies.
Ji Yan and Ye Ziang reacted quickly, working together to save Fang Lianjiao before retreating while fighting.
Finally, they retreated into the kitchen of this small hot pot restaurant.
If the kitchen door hadn't been thick enough to allow them to hold out until Yu Yao arrived, they would have been wiped out long ago.
