Chapter 274

Finally, the entire team watched as the helicopter departed.0

The two groups headed towards their respective destinations.0

Since the helicopter could travel directly without detours, it saved a significant amount of time on the road.0

In less than fifty minutes, they arrived at their destination.0

Yi City.0

It was located at the confluence of three major rivers, with a vast bamboo forest to the northwest.0

From a distance, the city looked like it was situated on an ink painting, breathtakingly beautiful.0

But upon closer inspection, one could see the swarming heads of zombies below.0

It resembled a massive man-eating den, just waiting for people to walk into its trap.0

Yun Xiaoxiao and her team hovered above the city, thoroughly observing its layout.0

Then, they landed on a large open area in the western part of the city.0

Yun Xiaoxiao instructed Nie Yizhou to take some people and dig a pit.0

Nie Yizhou was puzzled, "But kid, we don’t have any drones left. How are we going to lure the zombies out of the city?"0

Yun Xiaoxiao had already sent half of the drones to Peng Shaowei’s side, delivered by Mu Yang.0

Along with the drones, some phones and power banks were also sent over.0

The remaining half was left with Jiang Huai and his team.0

So, they didn’t have a single drone left with them.0

"Don’t worry, even without drones, the zombies will obediently leave the city," Yun Xiaoxiao said with a mischievous wink.0Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Do you have another brilliant idea?" Nie Yizhou asked excitedly.0

"You’ll find out soon enough."0

"Alright, kid, you’ve learned to keep us in suspense," Nie Yizhou laughed and then led the group to a green lawn on the right side of the city gate road to start digging.0

With the help of earth-based ability users, digging the pit wasn’t difficult.0

Before long, a massive pit appeared.0

It was as large as a football field, with a depth of at least fifty meters.0

Nie Yizhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and rushed back to Yun Xiaoxiao, panting.0

"Kid, is it time to set up the explosives now?"0

Although he knew that half of the explosives had been sent to Peng Shaowei’s side and the other half left with Jiang Huai’s team, he assumed Yun Xiaoxiao must have hidden some in her space without telling anyone.0

But to his surprise, Yun Xiaoxiao tilted her head and said, "Explosives? We don’t have any."0

Nie Yizhou: ???0

"Without explosives, how are we going to blow up the zombies?"0

Previously, it had always been a pit paired with explosives.0

Lu Chen and the others were also confused.0

The next moment, Yun Xiaoxiao started pulling out items from her space.0

Huge oil barrels were neatly arranged in a row.0

They stood tall and proud, like a group of soldiers, exuding an imposing aura.0

"What’s inside these?" Hua Bai asked curiously.0

"Oil," Yun Xiaoxiao replied.0

Hearing this, the expressions of the forty or so people present changed.0

Lu Chen and the others were unaware of when Yun Xiaoxiao had collected such a thing.0

Aunt Long, Han Bing, and the rest were equally astonished, not only because Yun Xiaoxiao was a spatial ability user but also because she had stockpiled so much oil.0

Yun Xiaoxiao took out all the oil they would need.0

She also placed several large speakers and a generator on the ground.0

Then, she calmly scanned the group.0

Seeing that everyone was shocked but no one harbored any ill intentions, she smiled faintly.0

"Everyone, please keep it a secret that I’m a spatial ability user. If I find out that this information has been leaked to outsiders, I won’t be happy. And if I’m not happy, the consequences will be severe," she said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.0

If it weren’t for the special circumstances, she wouldn’t have revealed her spatial ability in front of so many people.0

However, these people were all from her base and were bound by the system’s restrictions.0

Any action that harmed her interests would be punished by the system.0

Moreover, if she didn’t reveal her ability now, their efforts to take over the city would be severely limited.0

Time was money, and time was life.0

They couldn’t afford to waste any more of it.0

After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to reveal her ability.0

Besides, she could monitor their thoughts in real-time.0

If she detected any malicious intent, she wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate the threat immediately!0

"Don’t worry, Sister Xiaoxiao, we’ll definitely keep this secret," Ci Wan was the first to pledge her loyalty.0

"That’s right, if anyone dares to spill the beans, I’ll be the first to object," Lei Ming added with a hearty laugh.0

Everyone chimed in, expressing their commitment.0

Only Lu Chen and Ling Jing remained silent.0

There was no need for them to speak.0

They treated Yun Xiaoxiao like a younger sister and would never do anything to harm her.0

"Of course, I trust all of you," Yun Xiaoxiao said with a sweet smile.0

From her appearance, no one could guess that she had just been contemplating killing someone.0

Next, everyone started pouring the oil from the barrels into the pit.0

However, they didn’t pour all of it—only half was used, and the other half was kept in reserve.0

The oil was mainly applied to the walls of the pit to ensure it would burn quickly.0

Lu Chen and Ling Jing busied themselves with starting the generator and connecting the large speakers.0

Meanwhile, Yun Xiaoxiao, Mu Yang, and a few other ability users went to set up the barrier walls.0

Once everything was ready, Yun Xiaoxiao signaled everyone to cover their ears and then played a song on her phone.0

The ten large speakers erupted in unison.0

"The great river flows eastward, the stars in the sky follow the Big Dipper, cough cough, follow the Big Dipper, life and death are sealed with a bowl of wine..."0

The deafening sound pierced the sky, and the ground seemed to tremble beneath their feet.0

"Roar!"0

A thunderous roar erupted from the city.0

In the next moment, a series of footsteps echoed in unison.0

It sounded like the charge of a thousand horses, overwhelming and heart-stopping.0

Soon, the vanguard of zombies rushed out of the city at full speed.0

"They’re coming!"0

A glint of excitement flashed in Sun Xiaoming’s eyes.0

Ci Wan and the others also showed eager expressions.0

This was their first time participating in a zombie extermination battle.0

When they had returned to the base from the farm, they learned that Yun Xiaoxiao and her team had already left.0

They had wanted to join but had to stay behind to guard the base.0

They had always felt a sense of regret about it.0

Now that they finally had the chance to participate, they felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.0

The zombies on the other side of the pit howled ferociously as they charged forward.0

But they had no idea that a massive pit awaited them ahead.0

One by one, the zombies tumbled into the pit.0

They fell into the dark oil, covering themselves in it.0

They kept trying to stand up but slipped repeatedly, some even being knocked down by the zombies falling on top of them.0

More and more zombies surged forward.0

The pit was gradually being filled.0

As the number of incoming zombies dwindled and the pit was nearly full, Yun Xiaoxiao instructed the others to pour the remaining oil into the pit.0

"Alright, light it up!"0

She nodded to Xiao Feng and two others.0

In the next moment, flames erupted around the pit.0

The fire spread uncontrollably, crackling and roaring.0

Soon, thick smoke billowed into the air.0

A mix of oil fumes and the stench of decay filled the surroundings...
