Chapter 283 – A New Day
Lone Returner and Coyote led the men to inspect underneath the buildings near the plaza, and closed all the doors that needed to be blocked off. Zhou Hao also walked between these floors, encountering zombies that should be killed or should be killed. In the plaza, Zhuge Hongduan was watching, preventing the nearby buildings from having zombies rush out when they hadn’t blocked the passageways.
Time passed quickly, and no large-scale zombie hordes appeared, and the surrounding ghost walls did not suffer from zombie attacks. It was as if everything was proceeding as Zhou Hao wished, calmly and quietly, which was what everyone wished for.
Soon, after all of these floor passages near the plaza were pretty much blocked, the crowd once again came to the plaza, and then went inside the Li’s Department Store Grand Mall together.
When everyone came in, Zhou Hao immediately closed the Li’s Department Store’s main door and the ghost door, and at the same time, Zhou Hao also used something to block all the windows on the first floor with something together with the crowd.
When this was done, the sky slowly darkened, and the night, too, was about to come. This day, also ended like this, however, what the crowd had to do still wasn’t over.
Lee’s Department Store Grand Mall from the first floor to the eighth floor were all selling things, all kinds of small stores were on these floors. The ninth floor, on the other hand, was where the Lee’s Department Store Grand Mall’s offices were located, and there was also a security room, which was filled with surveillance instruments that allowed them to see what was going on in the mall. However, there was no electricity coming in anymore, so the surveillance and whatnot here had become just for show. There is also a staff dormitory here, and there is also a kitchen, everything that should be there is there.
Lee’s Department Store Grand Mall also had a lot of zombies here before, but they were all killed, and now they have been dragged out and thrown out the window one by one by Stone with the people to throw out these zombie corpses. Now can only first throw these corpses out of the outside, tomorrow and then continue to the square here zombie corpses clean clean, otherwise people living here, these zombie corpses can not always put here.
Lee’s department store shopping mall is very large, and the center is still hollow, two large columns from the first floor has been extended top to the eighth floor ceiling. Looking at it from here, the whole thing was like a hall, very empty, but there were also many stores on each floor, and the goods sold were all kinds of goods, as if everything a human would use could be bought from here.
Food is indeed a lot, in the first floor planning there is a piece of place is specialized is to sell vegetables, rice, oil and salt these things, in fact, is like a fresh market. This market was connected to the building behind it, but the doors there were closed, so the zombies outside couldn’t come in. Zhou Hao came here and immediately brought people to continue blocking the doors and windows here again with stuff, making it impossible to open any passageways here.
When the sky was all completely dark, everyone gathered here in the staff cafeteria on the ninth floor to eat ……
Because this staff cafeteria is in the floor, and there are no windows around to see the outside of the building directly, so there is no problem to make some bright light here. But now there is no electricity near here, all the lighting and what not can not light up, only to be able to use those emergency lights placed here to open.
Lee’s department store shopping mall here all the emergency lights have been put away, have been put on the ninth floor here.
The meals that everyone is eating now are all made by themselves, and those few girls, although they rarely speak, are still helping out with the work in a disciplined manner. They also knew what the situation was now, so they didn’t have any complaints, although they were being abused by Li Tianhong before, but now that they were rescued, it was good to be alive.
“As you all know, the place we were in before couldn’t stay any longer, so we came here. Being here is not guaranteed to keep everyone 100% safe though, because there is no place in this city that is 100% safe. We are now all linked together in life and death, we are all brothers and sisters, and everyone who had any conflicts in the past should let go of them, because these conflicts already seem unimportant compared to our own living.” Dokuroku Guiyu also followed the group as they ate together, while eating, Dokuroku Guiyu also spoke to the group.
“Right now we are struggling for survival, we can only live longer for all of us if we are united together. Now that we’re here, Zhou Hao is helping us build a safe area, but it’s not completely finished yet. Therefore, I hope that all of you will do as I say and not act or leave this place privately. If you don’t want to live anymore, but I hope you won’t drag us down as well.”
“Don’t look at the fact that this place is big and you guys can move around indulgently, it will only attract the zombie hordes. So, no one should yell or make any noise, just live quietly in this place. I would like to make one thing clear, and we all have to understand the fact that we should not expect anyone to come to save us, and it would be better for us to survive on our own first. We have to learn to save ourselves, and we have to form a group to fight against those enemies. Having said all this, it’s really to make everyone understand that we have to rely on those of us who are trying to survive, because all of us still want to be alive in this world.”
Among the dozens of people here, Dokgoo Guei Zuo was the only one who was talking, everyone else was quietly eating their meals while also quietly listening to Dokgoo Guei Zuo’s words. What Dugu Gui Zuo said, everyone’s heart understood, after so many days, anyone who knew what was happening in this city, what needed to be done, everyone’s heart still knew.
Now in the hearts of these people, Dugu Gui Zuo was like the leader of the group, and there was no one who dared to disobey what he said. Of course, except for Zhou Hao, Zhou Hao did not take Dugu Gui Zuo as any leader, he took Dugu Gui Zuo as a friend and brother, what to do or what to do.
Because the Li’s Department Store Grand Mall was too big, and because it was only here today, Dokgoo Gueiquan did not arrange for people to patrol the various floors. Moreover, all the stores between each floor were not completely cleaned up, there might still be zombies inside any store, patrolling in the dark environment was a very dangerous thing.
Therefore, Dugu Zero let all the people stay here on the ninth floor, and those who want to stand guard still walk around this place on the ninth floor. Close all the doors here on the ninth floor tightly, everyone stayed in this place, none of them should go out.
There are also a few bathrooms on the ninth floor, these are used by the employees, and now they have become used by everyone. After everyone had eaten their fill, they began to take a bath, and then everyone slept in the various beds they had chosen. Since the staff dormitories here are divided into men and women, so now everyone sleeps separately for men and women, which makes Zhou Hao’s heart itch ……
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and it was also very quiet here on the ninth floor, because the Li’s Department Store Grand Mall was surrounded by buildings on three sides, with only the front facing the plaza, so it was very difficult to hear the roar of the zombie hordes outside inside the Li’s Department Store Grand Mall.
Also because they can’t hear the sounds of the outside world, the crowd here, it is also easier for people to fall asleep. The crowd that had been tired for a day could finally sleep peacefully, especially those who had stayed up late last night.
Except for the five or six who were on watch, everyone went to bed early. Because there weren’t a lot of beds here, many people didn’t sleep in their beds. However, now that it was summer, the weather was hot, and there was no electricity to turn on the air conditioner, some people just took a mat and casually spread it out on the ground to sleep.
Zhou Hao is no exception, also took a mat on the ground, lay on the ground and began to sleep. However, Zhou Hao didn’t sleep now, but switched his mind to his brain and looked at his data.
Now Zhou Hao’s rank level was already three stars (5%), looking at this data, Zhou Hao was of course very excited, after all, he had already killed five evolved muscle zombies, and could not imagine that he had actually increased his rank level progress by so much. However, after Zhou Hao did some math, he still couldn’t figure out how much leveling progress had been added by killing an evolved muscle zombie, and it always felt like the system wanted to give as much as it could.
Zhou Hao thought about it and didn’t care how much level progress he got, anyway, there was an increase on the line. In the future, no matter what type of zombie you see, kill the ones you can, it’s all experience.
According to this trend, he should be able to upgrade again soon. Of course, one’s strength would also become stronger and stronger, however, Zhou Hao still preferred having more Ghost Sniper Bullets now. Only by having a greater number of Ghost Sniper Bullets, then one could get more Ghost Walls and build the defense of this place even stronger.
However, Zhou Hao knew that this was not something that could be done in a day or two, and now having 5000 Ghost Sniper Bullets per day was not bad. And now that he had arrived here at this Li’s Department Store Grand Mall, the surrounding street entrances and exits had all been surrounded by his own Ghost Walls, so for the time being, he shouldn’t be attacked by any zombie hordes. Then, it would also be possible to spend the next few days here at ease.
Of course, Zhou Hao will not do nothing to spend his days here, Zhou Hao will definitely need to go out of the ghost wall to walk around, kill all the zombies around, and also slowly increase the defense here.
Those who could sleep were still sleeping, and those who couldn’t, were still going to sleep. No matter what happens, this night still passes quietly.
There were no words in the night!
When Zhou Hao opened his eyes, the sky had already begun to lighten. The others were also starting to get up in droves, although they said that they didn’t have to go to work or anything, there were still quite a lot of things that needed to be done today.
Zhou Hao had Zhou Hao’s own things to do, and the others had other people’s things to do as well.
A new day had arrived here.
