Chapter 54: Time for Business, Thunderstorm Rocket Launcher! (Seeking continued readership)
Gu Miantang's second aunt lived in Blue River Community, not far from here.
This family was quite lucky.
Before the apocalypse, they had just bought a batch of food and had been surviving until now.
After successfully bringing them back, Lu Zheng looked at Pang Ruoyu.
"It's time for business."
Pang Ruoyu was startled, then lowered her head, blushing, and silently followed Lu Zheng into an unoccupied ward on one of the floors.
She was still wearing her white nurse's uniform.
[Ding! Successfully sheltered Pang Ruoyu, obtained one Advanced Material Card]
The process went smoothly, and Pang Ruoyu gave Lu Zheng a thorough physical examination.
She found his body to be extremely healthy, almost like a superman.
This greatly astonished Pang Ruoyu.
After taking the Strengthening Pill, Lu Zheng's physical fitness was increasing daily, so Pang Ruoyu naturally couldn't understand how he could be so strong.
Lu Zheng was worried about her physical condition, so he had to ask Zheng Jingyi to come and help.
After all, Zheng Jingyi had Holy Light that could alleviate physical fatigue.
More than two hours later, Lu Zheng looked at the newly appeared Advanced Material Card with satisfaction.
[Item: Thunderstorm Rocket Launcher]
[Type: Advanced Material Card]
[Effect: Can obtain one Thunderstorm Rocket Launcher an unlimited number of times (comes with one fuel-air explosive, one armor-piercing round, and one incendiary round each, can specify ammunition type to load)]
With this, killing a third-tier Sonic Worm should be very easy.
High-power explosives, one shot to destroy a tank.
The Sonic Worm's defense was very strong; rifle fire, unless it hit the same spot for a long time, couldn't break its defense.
But one rocket would definitely be no problem!
With Lu Zheng's increasingly strong physique, using a rocket launcher in combat was as convenient as using a pistol.
Moreover, he could retrieve it infinitely, achieving a rapid-fire effect like shooting a gun, and one person could create an area of suppressive fire!
Lu Zheng was very satisfied with the new material card, which made him even more interested in extraordinary material cards.
Watching Pang Ruoyu emerge clean after taking a Strengthening Pill, he pulled her into his arms.
She immediately trembled, twisting her body and saying:
"No more, I'm not fully recovered yet."
Lu Zheng laughed:
"You said you'd introduce me to some friends; hurry up and tell me, start with the closest ones."
Upon hearing this, Pang Ruoyu's shyness instantly vanished.
She sighed and said:
"I have a high school classmate, the school doctor at Canglan No. 1 High School, named Tang Cailin. Her looks and figure are no less than mine. If you can rescue her, whether you succeed is up to you."
She paused, then continued:
"I also have another high school classmate named Shi Xueqi; you should have heard her name, a popular celebrity."
"Before the apocalypse, she was at the Pengcheng Hotel in Jinge Building. If you can get her, that shows your capability."
She didn't even realize that the last sentence carried a hint of jealousy.
Lu Zheng said in surprise:
"Shi Xueqi is actually your high school classmate, and you're still in contact with her? I didn't expect you to have such connections."
Pang Ruoyu snorted softly.
"I'm very outstanding! Letting you get me so easily, you really got a bargain."
Lu Zheng didn't argue with her, kissed her, and said:
"Let's go, we'll go find your school doctor classmate first. I hope she's still alive, don't disappoint me."
Pang Ruoyu showed a worried expression.
"She must still be alive. Cailin is very smart; she definitely knows how to protect herself."
"Let's hurry over; we can definitely find her."
Lu Zheng was surprised.
"You care about her that much?"
Pang Ruoyu showed a nostalgic expression.
"Back then, Cailin, Xue Qi, and I were classmates since junior high. Even after Xue Qi became a celebrity and got famous, we would often gather together."
"Before the apocalypse, we had just finished a get-together and returned to our respective posts."
"But I don't know if we'll ever have a chance to meet again."
At this moment, at Canglan No. 1 High School, in the faculty and staff cafeteria.
Almost all the students and faculty were gathered here.
Most of the buildings at Canglan No. 1 High School were six stories tall; floors below the fourth were covered by black mist, so students could only go to the fifth and sixth floors.
The school was densely populated; a large number of living people gathered together, increasing their presence, which caused the worms to also gather below, waiting for the food above to come down on its own.
They couldn't move at all.
Dean Huang Xu came to Vice Principal Liu Ping and whispered, reporting:
"Principal, the remaining food and water can only feed these people for one more meal at most. We must find a way to acquire new supplies, otherwise, people will starve or die of thirst."
Liu Ping said in a deep voice:
"Then we'll proceed with our plan from yesterday. Have everyone gather on the east side of the building, select a few people to go to the west side, and kill the worms with all their might to obtain their crystals."
So far, they had no ability users here.
And it was impossible for ordinary people to pass through the black mist to obtain supplies.
They had known about crystals for a long time.
It was just that all the worms were gathered together, making it impossible to obtain crystals.
Until yesterday, they discovered that the worms would move according to the movement of people. They only needed to gather the vast majority of people in one place to attract the worms below.
Then, dealing with isolated worms, armed with fire axes and other weapons, they still had hope of success.
The principal still had authority and quickly settled everyone in one location.
After a brave teacher took a flashlight to investigate, they indeed found that there were almost no traces of worms in another direction.
Using books to simply create a layer of protection, several teachers and sports students went downstairs.
As soon as they entered the black mist, they immediately attracted an attack from a Scythe Mantis.
Duan Yu, the shot put student, suddenly threw the axe in his hand, hitting the Scythe Mantis's head.
The axe was deeply embedded in the Scythe Mantis's body, but the Scythe Mantis, with an axe stuck in its head, still charged forward without losing speed.
At this moment, Sun Wuxing, the physics teacher, shouted loudly, stood at the front of the team, and vigorously chopped at the Scythe Mantis.
'Bang!'
The Scythe Mantis's forelimb sliced a large gash across Sun Wuxing's stomach, also sending him flying.
Duan Yu, who had taken another fire axe, immediately jumped onto the Scythe Mantis's body and continuously attacked the spot where the previous axe had wounded it.
Because there were many targets appearing around the Scythe Mantis at the same time, coupled with Duan Yu's thrown axe injuring it, for a moment, it couldn't shake Duan Yu off.
This also sealed its death.
Sensing the Scythe Mantis's death, Duan Yu, ignoring the burning sensation from the Scythe Mantis's blood, plunged his hand into its head until he felt a crystal, then shouted loudly.
"Go, hurry up!"
The other students and faculty dragged the injured Sun Wuxing and quickly went upstairs.
The worms that appeared afterward found nothing.
Sun Wuxing was gasping for breath, and Duan Yu shouted:
"Doctor Tang, come quickly and take a look, stop Mr. Sun's bleeding."
Tang Cailin, who had rushed over, looked at the wound on Sun Wuxing's abdomen, showing an expression of unbearable sorrow, tears almost welling up.
"Mr. Sun, hold on."
Recommended good book: "Apocalypse: Emotional Card Draw, School Beauties and Goddesses All Come Knocking."
With scarce resources and food shortages, Lu Zheng obtained the 'Emotional Value System'.
As long as the goddesses continuously provide him with emotional value, supplies are unlimited!
