After driving out the zombies, there was less obstruction when picking up the car. Fortunately, they found more than one large heavy truck in the factory!\n
Unfortunately, there are only seven of them, and there are still risks in keeping a container of goods. If they want to make this cake bigger, they don’t have the appetite to swallow it<sup>1</sup>.\n
Put the large container on the heavy truck using a crane. This container, which is bigger than the average bachelor’s apartment, makes Hou Ying feel at ease—at least when they go to Yecheng, the part of materials he could share was enough for him, Wang Hehe, and Ji Yao to spend for a long time.\n
As long as the forklift is put into the container, the task of picking up the truck will be a perfect success, but Li Xuanyuan and Qiao Daye don’t seem to be in a hurry.\n
He saw Li Xuanyuan instruct Qiao Daye to drive the armored car again and load the two heavy-duty motors they saw when they were walking in the factory with forklifts. He used the automatic assembly line to cut a lot of steel and send it to the container. Then he removed the mainboard and display screen of the assembly line control computer and even removed the wheel of the heavy truck that couldn’t be taken away. When the tire and motor were removed and loaded unceremoniously, Hou Ying turned away and said silently: He misunderstood Jiang Tao before. It was clearly this guy who travels like the locust!\n</ins>\n\nThis trip can be regarded as a rewarding trip!\n
Looking at the available space in the containers and the armored car, Hou Ying said, “Down the main road, about two blocks away, there is a fuel factory. It’s said that the turnovers have been very good in recent years. Now there should be many finished fuel products in there.”\n
Hou Ying graduated from high school and went out to work very early. Before hopping to a game company, he worked in a machinery factory for several years and followed his master to almost all the heavy factories within the radiation range of Kangcheng Economic Center. Over the years, he still pays close attention to the business situation of these regular customers. He also sends some gift boxes and calls them to greet them on New Year’s Day. Over the past few years, they have mixed up some friendships with each other, and they will brag and show off when they win any big business. Although the words are not true, they are not all lies.\n
He wanted to mention it last night, after all, fuel is too important to them. But after Qiao Daye raised the status quo of the evolution of the zombies’ abilities, he decisively gave up this idea.\n
After all, no matter how good things are, they must be enjoyed. He has seen that these soldiers are brave and have a big appetite. If he said it last night, they would still take a chance under unknown circumstances. If the bamboo basket is empty, it will not only affect people’s emotions but in case of unnecessary casualties, Hou Ying will be a stranger in this team.\n
He just didn’t expect that the task of picking up the car was so smooth.\n
Now that he’s here, Hou Ying doesn’t want to let this great opportunity slip away in vain. Anyway, he’s not greedy. If he doesn’t empty the fuel plant, the risk is not so great.\n
He discussed with Li Xuanyuan how to go to the map and circled out the general location of the factory with the new automatic conveying line mentioned by the boss on the phone. Seeing that they were rubbing their hands in excitement, he couldn’t help saying, “Don’t think too simply. The fuel plant is different from the steel plant. The driveway is narrow and only the entrance and exit are connected. And open fire is forbidden here. In case of an accident, none of us can escape.”\n
Qiao Daye interrupted his chatter and said, “Don’t worry, Houzi, we soldiers are most disciplined. We will certainly listen to you.”\n
Finally, it was agreed that the heavy truck should be driven to the exit road first, Hou Ying should stay behind, and Qiao Daye and Li Xuanyuan should drive the armored car into the factory building, and then go after loading.\n</ins>\n\nThe three people keep in touch through Bluetooth and report each other’s situation every ten minutes. Hou Ying can always hear two voices when they speak. Their military Bluetooth technology is very high, and they can directly connect to the satellite transmission without media. They can almost achieve the effect of synchronous transmission, but it’s also almost the same.\n
With Hou Ying’s present hearing, the conversation between the two people a few hundred meters away can be heard very clearly. However, he did not dare to take off the earphones. He was relieved to hear that they did not confront the zombies in the fuel factory head-on, mainly driving them away.\n
“Arriving at the destination.”\n
So, Qiao Daye whistled and turned the dagger in his hand—they didn’t dare to shoot in the fuel factory, so they changed their weapon.\n
“We’re getting rich!” Knowing that Hou Ying can’t see the situation outside, Qiao Daye, who is very happy to share, said in surprise, “They are planning to ship them. They are all packaged ready-made goods! There are at least ten tons by visual inspection. Alas, we can only take a little.” He was very sorry that he could not empty everything he saw.\n
Hou Ying knew that he had a sense of propriety and no platitude. When he heard him move the box, he found that the labor wastage was too large. He asked Li Xuanyuan to drive the automatic transportation line and happily lifted the armored car to a certain height to connect with the conveyor belt. He also quite proudly said, “Let’s go back to our hometown in fine clothes<sup>2</sup>—Fuck!”\n
Hou Ying was shocked when he suddenly cursed before he finished laughing! Only a few sounds were heard inside, such as the sound of metal hitting the concrete floor, accompanied by the harsh sound of heavy metal dragging out on the ground and the rustling sound of sparks.\n
Hou Ying’s scalp tightened, listening to Qiao Daye roar, “Stop him from starting a fire! Xuanyuan, kill him first!”\n
“Bang!”\n
There was a sound of being knocked out, accompanied by sparks.\n</ins>\n\nThe scene is even tenser than Hou Ying imagined! The tall zombie was at least two meters high, and he came to Li Xuanyuan with the “big ax” in his hand—the ax handle was higher than the zombie, and the ax was as thick as an adult’s upper body.\n
The tall zombie stared at Li Xuanyuan closely, as if he was angry that he had evaded the first blow, but he just glanced lightly at Qiao Daye who was scurrying everywhere—it was like he had already defined the two pieces of raw meat in front of him, one is the venting goods that are about to be cut by him, and the other is his food.\n
He took another look and smashed the console to pieces. Suddenly, the wires came out and kept bouncing with sparks!\n
They were terrified that the burning wire would fall on the ground and detonate the whole warehouse. It’s too late to speak! A vine suddenly sprang out of Li Xuanyuan’s sleeve and entangled the spark emitting wire. In a moment, there was the smell of burning plants. The vine kept struggling but was strongly ordered by Li Xuanyuan to wrap the wire.\n
“Xuanyuan!”\n
In the time when Li Xuanyuan summoned vines to put out the fire, the “giant ax” aimed at Li Xuanyuan fell from the sky again!\n
At the critical moment, Qiao Daye exploded his potential, ran faster than sound, and immediately threw Li Xuanyuan several meters away. The voice just fell to the ground, followed by a loud crack! It turned out that the zombie had completely cut off the conveyor belt beside Li Xuanyuan’s position!\n
Their pupils shrunk when they looked sideways because they could see very clearly. In the fierce impact, the ax suddenly dispersed, and in an instant, it became the original shape!\n
Metal ability!\n
The two were shocked.\n
Qiao Daye grabs Li Xuanyuan to escape, and they finally found out that the tall zombie was not flexible with an axe, and what he used to drive the axe was its ability. The axe continued to attack as he stared at the two pieces of raw meat. The zombie seemed to merge with the metal on the giant axe. The speed of the movement made Qiao Daye and Li Xuanyuan dodge very embarrassedly.\n
Qiao Daye said quickly, “Xuanyuan, you go first, I will deal with him.”\n
“No!”\n
Li Xuanyuan roared, and suddenly hundreds of vines entangled the giant axe.\n
Qiao Daye knows that this is the limit of Li Xuanyuan’s wood ability, and the ax really has a momentary pause—Qiao Daye, who has a tacit understanding with Li Xuanyuan, rushes to the zombie with the fastest speed at the first time! But before his dagger pierced the zombie’s brows, a sharp iron rod suddenly separated from the handle of the giant ax and pierced his eyes!\n</ins>\n\nAlmost at the same time, all the vines on the giant axe had been severed!\n
Li Xuanyuan opened his eyes wide and roared, and suddenly a dozen vines spawned to entangle Qiao Daye who was about to smash into the wall.\n
Although the vine was soon cut off again by the angry zombie, the buffer of this moment made Qiao Daye avoid the injury of a broken spleen and bones when he fell heavily on the wall. But even so, Qiao Daye’s shoulder had been pierced by the sharp iron rod that could not be avoided, and the blood soaks Qiao Daye’s shoulder, his face pale.\n
Li Xuanyuan immediately gave up the plan to fight with the zombie, sacrificed countless vines, and pulled Qiao Daye back to his side, running out of the factory with the fastest speed!\n
But no matter how fast he is, he can’t control the zombie’s ability!\n
Qiao Daye was in pain, but his five senses ability didn’t degenerate. He heard the sharp metal weapon coming through the air. In his eyes, it stabbed him in slow motion. In fact, it had already arrived in front of him by the time he took a breath—\n
Pupupupu!\n
The fine and dense vine net suddenly stopped in front of Qiao Daye. Li Xuanyuan ran for two more steps with him, and suddenly fell to the ground!\n
Qiao Daye opened his eyes wide. It turned out that Li Xuanyuan’s speed of sprouting vines broke the limit at the critical moment, causing the vines to divide and multiply into new vines to form a mesh shield. And the toughness of the vine sharpens, although it is still cut by the metal, it has blocked the acceleration of the sharp weapon. However, his ability was limited after all, and he instinctively protected the seriously injured Qiao Daye, but his body can’t be completely covered in time, several blood holes were pierced into his body.\n
Even so, his eyes didn’t show weakness at all, and he stubbornly summoned the vines to form a shield in front of them.\n</ins>\n\nQiao Daye gritted his teeth fiercely, urging his speed to the limit, grabbing Li Xuanyuan and suddenly he flashed a few meters away.\n
The smell of fresh blood stimulated the violent zombies in the warehouse, and also attracted countless zombies in the fuel plant. They stepped out of the warehouse and thought they were finally out of danger, but immediately fell into the encirclement of the zombie group!\n
At that moment, Qiao Daye thought that he could not escape this catastrophe, but suddenly there were vines surrounding his body, blocking the claws of the zombies.\n
Li Xuanyuan, who was already weak, yelled in his ear, “Go, leave me alone!”\n\n
