The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Evelyn turned to look at Lu Qianwei instead.

Lu Qianwei's goal is survival, so there's no reason for him to push people away.

"If someone is willing to leave with us, that's naturally no problem."

However, they still need to find a solution to the car issue.

"I understand. No one lives in the room next door. Their key is under the mat. You can stay there for the night."

Nothing happened overnight. When Lu Qianwei and Jack woke up in the morning, they were immediately surrounded by several burly men, including Barker, as soon as they went out.

The group looked around and confirmed that they were indeed not residents of this community.

Looking down from the rooftop, a car was parked outside, along with a large number of headless corpses...

The sheer number of zombie corpses left behind was enough to make them gasp in horror.

"Now we believe you have the ability to get us out of here."

Buck dismissed the two skinny outsiders and had to admit that he had misjudged them.

Perhaps there's another team waiting outside to meet them; otherwise, it's hard to explain how so many zombies died.

Since everyone agreed to leave, Lu Qianwei naturally planned to pack up and take the surviving members of the entire building with him.

Buck rubbed his injured palms and said bluntly, "There are still twenty-seven families hiding in this building."

They were all people who had been staying at home before the disaster, including elderly people and children…

Lu Qianwei nodded slightly, looking at the bald man with admiration. The apocalypse had only been going on for a few days, and someone was able to record such things in detail. Clearly, he had his own plan and was quite a talent.

Finding a car wasn't difficult; the challenge was getting a group of nearly a hundred people together all at once.

Evelyn and her companions thought for a moment and quickly remembered that there was a logistics park three kilometers away in the west of the city.

I happen to have a friend who works there. He remembers that on the day the disaster broke out, the highway was closed, and a lot of trucks and buses were stuck in traffic. Many drivers abandoned their vehicles and ran away. The vehicles were all intact and should be able to start.

Lu Qianwei nodded in agreement: "Then let's go open it. Leave the elderly, children, and the seriously injured here to wait for us. Those who are in good health, come with me."

That morning, Lu Qianwei led five capable men—Jack, Buck, Jimmy, and Ron—lightly equipped and headed to the logistics park.

Just past the collapsed pedestrian overpass at the intersection, more than twenty zombies hidden in the overturned bus were startled by the footsteps and rushed out howling.

Ron's knife wound on his lower back hadn't fully healed, and as he backed away, he slipped on the moss and half his body swayed to the side. A zombie waving its rotten claws, it scratched at his neck. Buck gritted his teeth and rushed forward, tearing his shoulder wound so that blood soaked through the gauze again, but he still managed to chop an axe into the zombie's head.

Jimmy was also knocked to the ground and almost bitten on the arm. He was saved by Jack hitting the zombie in the eye socket with a spear.

Twenty zombies were still too many for several years. Although Lu Qianwei wanted to let them practice, he still killed the vast majority of them one by one.

It was at this moment that everyone gained a direct understanding of Lu Qianwei's strength.

Surprised yet delighted, with such formidable combat power, their trip was unlikely to be too dangerous.

At the same time, being with such a capable person also ensures their future safety.

After several rounds of fighting, all of them suffered numerous bruises, but Lu Qianwei always stepped in to help at crucial moments, and they arrived at their destination safely.

Upon entering the logistics park, the group quickly struck it lucky. A 14-seater Iveco van was parked at the entrance, its fuel tank full, and it started on the first turn of the key.

Further inside, there was an empty heavy truck parked with more than half a tank of fuel left. In the corner of the garage, there were three unopened barrels of diesel fuel, enough for them, and even more!

But just as everyone was about to drive away, a number of survivors emerged from the logistics park, each carrying knives, guns, and clubs.

Fortunately, after the initial standoff and conversation, the two sides did not have a major conflict. After hearing that there was a shelter, they both chose to leave with them.

There was no other way; they didn't dare come out when the zombies were roaming around outside.

Now that the area has been cleared out, their hungry stomachs desperately need help, so leaving with them is the best option.

With the help of these local employees, the group spent more than half an hour loading almost everything usable onto five large trucks.

When they arrived at the apartment building, Buck and his gang had already knocked on every door in the entire building, and even the two neighboring buildings, to find any potential survivors.

Upon hearing the words "shelter," "guns and ammunition," "food," and "medicine," many people chose to leave with Lu Qianwei and his group.

Nonsense, they're not blind. Anyone living on a higher floor can see the trucks and the corpses scattered around outside.

Zombies are terrifying, but they also understand the principle that there is strength in numbers.

Although it's not very useful, at least having more people around can give us courage!

In the end, a total of 218 people were gathered, and the bus could just fit them all.

The young people and all the supplies were arranged in the back, while the Iveco was reserved for the elderly, children and women. Lu Qianwei drove the pickup truck with Jack and Evelyn and their son in the front to clear the way.

The sound of engines breaking the surrounding silence, the zombies were no match for the large vehicles, they just went crazy and crashed into piles of mangled flesh. The group quickly arrived at the shelter on the road that Lu Qianwei had intentionally cleared.

After settling the people in, Lu Qianwei drove his heavy truck to the weapons shop to pack up Flink and the other two, along with the weapons in the shop.

They also took the surrounding pharmacies and clothing stores without hesitation, packing up almost everything they could.

Chapter 240 Zombie World 3

"—Sizzle...splash..."

Along with the shrill sound of the radio, a strong, clear male voice rang out from the station.

"All surviving members of Colton City, please stop what you're doing and listen carefully."

This is the Maple Ridge Shelter in the North District...

"We have cleared away any dangers around the Maple Ridge residential area, reinforced the outer perimeter wall, and sealed off all unnecessary entrances and exits..."

This is now the safest survivor encampment in the entire northern part of Colton.

The shelter now has ample food, water, medicine, and weapons...

Fellow countrymen, the country can no longer be relied upon, but we at Maple Ridge Shelter will not abandon you!

There is strength in numbers. We need to unite and drive away those damned or dead people!

They don't belong here...

As long as you are a living, normal person, we will accept you all…

If you're currently hiding in an office building crevice, basement, or empty apartment, starving and being chased by zombies with nowhere to go...

So please remember our location: Maple Ridge neighborhood at the north end of Liberty Avenue in Colton City's North District.

We've sprayed eye-catching red triangles on the walls along the street, and the entire route has been cleared in advance...

"If you encounter any inconvenience, please contact us through channel xx, and we will send a professional team to rescue you..."

To reiterate: This is Maple Ridge Shelter in the North District of Colton City...

The surrounding zombies have been cleared, supplies are plentiful, and defenses are in place. We welcome all survivors who want to live together. We're waiting for you in Maple Ridge!

The current paused for two seconds, then circled back to the beginning, the buzzing, looping broadcast traveling along the current to every corner of the city where people were still hiding.

Logically speaking, establishing Maple Ridge Shelter within the city was not a wise choice.

But who can blame Lu Qianwei for having cheat codes?

He placed a simple 3D printing device in the center of the community.

Survivors can use equipment to produce high-strength reinforcement materials by collecting raw materials from the city.

The primary function of these materials is to reinforce and thicken the shelter.

Over the past month, the buildings have been reinforced by survivors who have arrived or been rescued, with the walls thickened by nearly half a meter to create a slope of over 60 degrees to prevent climbing. Even the stairwells, doors, and windows of every residential building in the community have been reinforced.

Ordinary bullets can only leave a white mark, let alone the zombies scratching and biting wildly.

Of course, foreigners also understand the principle of killing the enemy from afar, and they would never allow a group of running and crawling zombies to besiege the city.

Thicker buildings are merely a last resort.

For safety, it is necessary to have a safe zone with the neighborhood as the radiation point and the other party as a buffer zone.

Therefore, outside the wall, everyone had made arrangements well in advance, raising and reinforcing the outer perimeter with a large number of shipping containers that had been brought in.

It uses an angle to form an outward slope, and has many obstacles such as tunnels, moats, fences, and barricades to prevent zombies from gathering together and climbing up in a short time.

To prevent such accidents, the shelter has even created several one-way passages in different areas.

If any zombies manage to get inside, they will become targets of machine gun fire, Molotov cocktails, landmines, and other explosive attacks, leaving no trace of their remains!

Every twenty meters at the top of the wall, there is a sentry post equipped with an automatic mechanism.

With 24/7 mechanical control and comprehensive scanning and monitoring, it automatically identifies and targets any zombie that enters the area, ensuring that even those that sneak out from the shadows of the ruins cannot escape its reach.

This is just a means of defending the city, dealing with the zombie hordes that are slowly gathering in various parts of the city and could form a large-scale zombie horde at any time.

Lu Qianwei also has the most worry-free new force – the Terminator.

These things were useless to the multi-party alliance, but a pity to discard, so they all ended up in his hands cheaply.

In this post-apocalyptic world, Lu Qianwei cannot allow the survivors too much comfort.

Therefore, after initial consideration, he only took out sixteen tireless and fearless T800s to clear the areas where the zombie horde might form.

As for the scattered zombies, those are left for the survivors in the shelter to deal with.

They get bitten or die along the way; that's their fate!

If the apocalypse were to give them a comfortable life, it would only harm them.

Looking at the well-organized base, Lu Qianwei knew it was time to prepare to leave.

With the rules set and key personnel selected, the defenses are impregnable. As long as they are willing to go out and collect supplies, the printing equipment can provide them with a continuous stream of support.

In short, Lu Qianwei designed this device as a game mode.

We must fight monsters, level up, and collect materials to survive; we refuse to slack off.

After nightfall, the four core members sat neatly in the meeting room that had been converted from the community property management office.

Retired Sheriff Old Blake, former fire chief Karen, emergency room director Eve, and municipal engineering technician Joe are all leaders who have earned their positions through hard work and competence during this period.

Lu Qianwei pushed open the door and placed the two items directly in the middle of the long table.

One document consisted of neatly bound pages, with the title "Outline for Zombie Virus Vaccine Development" clearly written on the cover.

One document lists the raw materials and cultivation steps needed for the antidote to the virus, while the other is a metal USB drive engraved with a code.

“I’ll only say this once,” Lu Qianwei pulled up a chair and sat down, without any unnecessary sentimentality. “Here’s the list for you. Whether you can make the vaccine or not depends on yourselves.”
