After Shen Feng recounted the day's events, Chang Jianyi also marveled at the numerous dangers Shen Feng had encountered and gained a clearer understanding of the horror of zombies. Facing an almost endless horde, evolved humans could only hold on for a few minutes. If ordinary people encountered zombies, they would be utterly unable to resist!
However, there was also good news. Without the disturbance of zombies at noon, the fortifications Shen Feng had planned were completed. Pulling back the curtains revealed that the amusement park planned for behind the hotel had been excavated, with a 500-meter diameter pit in the center, a full five meters deep. Connecting to the pit were over thirty ramps. The ramps were excavated to a depth of one meter, but the excavated earth was piled on the sides, making the ramps two meters deep.
The ramps were aligned towards three directions of the city, with their tails shaped like funnels. The further they progressed, the narrower the ramps became.
This was Shen Feng's plan: to utilize the zombies' low intelligence, leading them step by step into the pit, and then burning them all to death! During the execution of the plan, zombies would inevitably be heavily attracted, creating significant gaps within the city. Shen Feng would then seize this opportunity to go to the elementary school and rescue Chang Jianyi's younger brother, Chang Haojie!
Attracting the zombies was not enough. If the zombies suddenly returned, they would surround Shen Feng. Therefore, all the attracted zombies had to be killed, otherwise, it would lead to endless trouble.
At this moment, Chang Jianyi remembered something and quickly said, "Right, I noticed today that there seem to be people in a building in the distance. They've been staring this way. I don't know what they're up to!"
Shen Feng frowned and said, "We don't have time to worry about those people now. Let's focus on rescuing your brother first. If those people dare to cause trouble, we'll deal with them after this is over. Anyway, there shouldn't be too many people over there, so the threat is not significant."
Chang Jianyi nodded in agreement. The priority was to continue with the plan and not be sidetracked by minor issues.
However, Shen Feng then gently clasped her small hands, which were massaging him, and said to Chang Jianyi, "Senior Sister, it's getting late. We should go to sleep."
How could Chang Jianyi not understand Shen Feng's intentions? Newlyweds like Shen Feng were bound to be excited. And she herself found it difficult to refuse; she had been particularly passionate the previous night.
However, at that moment, there was a knock on the door. Chang Jianyi quickly withdrew her hand and went to open it. She found Yin Li standing there, holding a plate of food. "Vice President, I've brought food. Where is the President?"
"It's fine, you can go back now. Just give me the food," Chang Jianyi said, taking the food and quickly closing the door.
...
The next day, Shen Feng woke up early, got dressed, and set off. Before leaving, he called Li Xiang from the transport team and nine other people to accompany him on a crucial mission.
Li Xiang dared not refuse and immediately drove according to the instructions. It was the day of the critical battle, so why were they leaving now? Did they have an even more important mission? Li Xiang pondered, unable to understand.
Afterward, Shen Feng had Li Xiang park the car at an intersection two kilometers away. There weren't many zombies here, and as long as they remained silent, the zombies wouldn't make any significant moves.
Li Xiang didn't understand why they had come to a place so far from the battlefield and asked, "President, aren't we participating in the battle?"
Shen Feng said calmly, "There will be a battle soon, don't rush. And it will be an even more dangerous battle."
Hearing this, Li Xiang felt a sense of foreboding. A more dangerous battle? Did that mean facing the zombie horde directly? If that were the case, it would be life-threatening!
At the amusement park construction site, Chang Jianyi appeared with the combat team members. Beside them were the individuals who had had their hands and feet broken for rebellion earlier. Now, as the battle was about to begin, the combat team members were puzzled. Why wasn't the President here? Could the Vice President effectively command them against the zombies?
Chang Jianyi directly issued the order: "Take these traitors down and bleed them. Remember, there must be bloodstains in every ramp. After bleeding them, throw them into the pit!"
Upon hearing this, the team members immediately began to act. The traitors cried out in agony and began begging for mercy. They thought they had escaped disaster when they weren't thrown into the lake to feed the fish, but now it seemed they were still headed towards feeding the zombies.
Dean Hu was so terrified that he wet himself and pleaded, "You can't do this! We are all humans, how can you feed me to the zombies? At least I am your nominal teacher!"
Li Tianxiao was also in a sorry state. "Don't kill me, don't kill me! My father has a lot of money, a lot, a lot of money. He can use it to buy my life! Of course, if you don't want money, you can have food. My father can give you many benefits."
Among the other captives, some pleaded, some cursed, and some knelt down begging for mercy.
Chang Jianyi knew that all these people wanted to live. However, from the moment they started rebelling, Chang Jianyi had already sentenced them to death. Now, using them to lure zombies was merely making use of waste. She said coldly, "Proceed! This is the fate of traitors!"
The combat team members quickly carried out the executions. During the executions, the captives said all sorts of things to stay alive:
"We fought side by side before, do you remember me? I even helped you kill the zombies behind you!"
"Don't kill me, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a seven-year-old child. If I die, they will have no hope!"
"What did I do wrong? I just wanted a better life. Why are you treating me like this?"
"You have no right to kill people. You are just a group of students. Don't stray from the right path. Do you want to bear the stigma of being a murderer for your entire lives? Turn back now!"
To these varied words, the patient team members pretended not to hear. However, the impatient ones began to treat them roughly. They picked up stones from the ground and stuffed them into the captives' mouths to prevent them from making noise. Then, after reaching the ramps, they cut open the captives' veins to bleed them. Once they reached the end of the ramps, they threw the people into the large pit and finished.
Chang Jianyi looked at the others and said, "Go and remove the barriers around the ramps, but don't remove the barriers near the hotel. Hurry, try to finish the battle by noon!"
Then, Chang Jianyi had the prepared items brought out. They were bundles and bundles of fireworks. These things made a lot of noise, audible for several kilometers, making them excellent tools for attracting zombies. As for the fireworks, Shen Feng had collected a room full of them, and now, they could be set off for a long time.
"Light them and attract the distant zombies!" Chang Jianyi ordered.
In the hotel behind them, thousands of people were watching the battle intently. The previous day, everyone had worked diligently. Even the old man Chu Yangtian in the hotel had gone down to work with over a dozen people, because they knew this was for dealing with the zombies.
Everyone was filled with anticipation, looking forward to seeing the zombies destroyed. Once the zombies were dead, humanity could return to its normal life, watching movies in their leisure time, doing whatever they pleased, eating delicious food, and strolling with their loved ones. Thinking of this, everyone's hope grew stronger.
"Boom..." After the fireworks were lit, a white light shot up into the sky. The fireworks, carrying everyone's hopes, rose high into the sky and instantly exploded. "Bang," a loud noise echoed all around, waking countless zombies. Subsequently, the zombies began to move towards the direction of the sound.
"Bang," another firework rose and exploded. Both nearby and distant survivors saw the fireworks and immediately felt a surge of hope.
Survivors far from the amusement park could only hear the sound. However, to them, this sound was like heavenly music. They clearly recognized it as the sound of artillery fire, indicating that the army had arrived and was coming to reclaim the city. However, this army seemed somewhat unprofessional; why were they only firing blanks and not engaging in actual combat?
Shen Feng, sitting in the car, also saw the fireworks rising. He knew the plan had begun. Most of the zombies were heading towards where the fireworks were exploding, and he needed to wait for the opportune moment to set off and rescue people.
"President, what are we doing now?" Li Xiang couldn't help but ask.
Shen Feng said calmly, "Keep waiting. Wait for the right moment!"
Li Xiang's mind raced with guesses. Was the President planning to sneak behind the zombies with them for a surprise attack? Or were they going to scout the enemy situation inside the city? Or perhaps they were going to hunt mutated zombies specifically? Many possibilities crossed his mind, all within the realm of logic. Unfortunately, Shen Feng's target this time was very small.
One by one, the zombies approached. Upon smelling the scent of blood in the ramps, they entered. Once they did, there was no turning back, as the zombies behind them continuously pushed forward. The zombies at the front could only continue moving forward, but upon reaching the end of the ramps, they were pushed into the pit by the zombies behind them.
Many of the captives thrown into the pit did not die. They ultimately could not escape the zombie attack, and their lives ended there!
The fireworks continued to be set off. Chang Jianyi stood at the edge of the large pit, watching the zombies below fall.
The construction of the ramps was meticulous, with the wide opening shaped like a funnel facing the city. Any zombie that wanted to investigate would ultimately be led into the pit.
Hou Wenxi, in the club, was observing with binoculars. Upon witnessing the combat methods of Chang Jianyi and her group, he gritted his teeth and said, "These people are actually killing zombies in such a manner. They truly have courage and strategy."
Then, Hou Wenxi turned his binoculars towards Chang Jianyi, who was directing the operations. Chang Jianyi was wearing a jacket and jeans, her hair tied back, exuding a heroic and spirited demeanor. This excited Hou Wenxi greatly, and he muttered to himself, "This woman, I must have her, no matter what the cost!"
Hou Liangguo said with some concern, "Son, the people over there are not to be trifled with. They are planning to deal with a large number of zombies, and their methods are too ruthless. We should not provoke them. You like beautiful women, aren't there many others? Why not find a few more?"
"Shut up! How can there be anyone I want that I cannot obtain!" Hou Wenxi said coldly. "Those women are too weak, not special enough. I like this kind of woman. Don't think she has protection now; when the opportunity arises, I will still get her!"
Hou Liangguo was helpless. Ever since his son became an ability user, he could no longer persuade him. He now wanted to protect himself, but his son was clearly preparing to walk into danger.
Hou Wenxi suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "Dad, do you still have the medicine? Give me a bottle later."
Hou Liangguo quickly replied, "Yes, there's still plenty. I'll give it to you later!"
A sinister smile spread across Hou Wenxi's face. He knew that if he wanted to take away a woman without offending the people opposite them, it was impossible, especially if this woman seemed to be the leader. There was only one way: to take her away stealthily. How could he achieve that? Of course, by drugging her!
"Heroic and spirited, graceful and elegant, and also beautiful like a flower. She truly suits my taste!" Hou Wenxi murmured.
Chang Jianyi was unaware that she had been targeted. She continued to lead everyone in luring the zombies. Success or failure depended on this moment!
