Chapter XVIII: Crisis
Following.
On the third pole of the sun, Zhang Xiaoming, who had big dark circles under his eyes, got up from the bed listlessly.
After washing up in the bathroom in a trance, when he came to the living room to eat breakfast slowly, he realized that there was only one musketeer in the living room.
He absentmindedly took a bite of food and asked vaguely, "Where have they gone?" β
The musketeer bowed and saluted, "Back to the city lord, they have gone to search for resources and continue to hunt zombies, leaving only their subordinates to protect the safety of the city lord." β
"Well, you're all pretty good." Zhang Xiaoming praised casually.
"These are the things that subordinates should do." After the musketeer saluted again, he stood upright in the aisle, quietly acting as a competent guard.
After eating breakfast, Zhang Xiaoming slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and observed the zombies outside the window for a while, before sitting back on the sofa in the living room, closing his eyes and contemplating.
After pondering for more than ten minutes, he opened his eyes and glanced at his watch, which was already nine fifty-two in the morning.
After a slight pause for a few seconds, he said lightly: "Gunner One, you go and get everyone back first, and then there will be other actions." β
"Order!" Musketeer Number One was ordered to leave quickly.
"Time is of the essence! We have to find a way to break out of the community. β
Zhang Xiaoming muttered, calling out his personal information card.

After reading the personal information, he nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I have saved a lot of points and energy points, and it's time to break out in a wave." β
"Buy two tent cards!"
[System]: "Ding! Two tent cards have been successfully purchased, 20 points, and 10 wood has been deducted. β
Without hesitation, just select Build, then drag one of them into the building placement and start compositing.
However, what he never expected was that a warning box popped up in the system.
He looked up at the warning box that popped up in the system.
"Warning: There are other types of buildings in the building placement slot, if you forcibly craft them, there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance that the synthesis will be successful, if the synthesis fails, all the buildings that are crafted will have a 90% chance of being damaged."
After reading the warning, Zhang Xiaoming couldn't help but scold: "Damn, there are other buildings in the placement bit, and there is no way to synthesize them, so you don't need to be so tricky." β
Unable to synthesize for the time being, he had to recruit five farmers first.
His side has just finished recruiting, and those subordinates who went to loot resources have also begun to return one after another.
After a little waiting for two minutes, the fifteen subordinates had already assembled in the living room in an orderly manner.
Zhang Xiaoming glanced at his subordinates with a serious expression before he said in a deep voice: "Our task today is to break through many obstacles and fight out of the community.
However, before we can get out, we have to go up to the top floor.
I need to build a watchtower on the top floor to see what's going on inside the neighborhood and what's going on outside the neighborhood. β
After a slight pause, he continued: "Alright, now I'll assign the teams that go upstairs, and the tasks of each team, and all the peasants will come out!" β
Ten peasants took a step forward at the same time and said in unison: "Grass people listen to orders!" β
"You go to the floor in groups of two and collect resources as fast as you can."
"The grass people take the order!" Ten people bowed and bowed.
"Infantry No. 1 and No. 2, and Musketeers No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 are out of line."
Two infantrymen and three musketeers took a step forward at the same time and said, "Subordinates obey orders!" β
"You come with me to the top floor."
"Subordinates take orders!" Five people saluted at the same time.
After a slight pause, Zhang Xiaoming bought three more tents, and handed over the two new tents he had bought before to five of the leading farmers.
As for the tent that the farmers brought back, it had already been filled with all kinds of supplies.
After a slight pretentious glance at the subordinates, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" β
With that, he dragged the tent and strode out of the room.
All the subordinates hurriedly followed, and walked quickly towards their respective mission locations.
"Whew! Whew! Tired...... Tired brother...... Finish. β
Zhang Xiaoming, who was already so tired that he could barely breathe, could barely walk, and under the protection of his five subordinates, it only took a few minutes to climb to the twenty-ninth floor.
"No...... No, first, rest, for a while, and then ...... Go again. β
However, when he climbed a few more steps up the stairs, he finally lost his strength and sat down on the stairs, never wanting to move again.
In fact, his body is not bad, but he has been hit hard by a recent accident, which has caused him to be physically and mentally exhausted, and he has been hungry for a few days without thinking about tea and food, which has caused his current body to be a little weak.
Having said that, they didn't encounter any zombies along the way, except for two zombies on the nineteenth floor, who were shot in the head by Musketeer No. 1 and Musketeer No. 2, which made them feel a little surprised.
After being silent for more than ten seconds, Infantry No. 1 suddenly squatted in front of Zhang Xiaoming and said respectfully: "City Lord, my subordinates will carry you upstairs." β
Zhang Xiaoming was a little stunned when he heard this.
However, after only a slight hesitation, he nodded and said, "Well, there are still a lot of things to do today, and it is true that we can't delay too much time." β
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoming nodded in agreement, the two musketeers hurriedly and carefully supported him and put him on the back of Infantry No. 1.
After lying down, Zhang Xiaoming said weakly: "Thank you for your hard work!" Let's move on! β
"Yes!" Infantry No. 1 was ordered to quickly get up and set off.
However, in the next second, Zhang Xiaoming was stunned.
Because, Infantry No. 1 was like a puppet on his back, and he swept up as quickly as nothing.
In just a few blinks of an eye, he carried himself and the four people who were guarding him to the gate of the top floor above the thirty-third floor.
"Damn, don't you want to be so exaggerated!"
was stunned for a moment before Zhang Xiaoming came up with such a sentence.
At this time, Musketeer One had also completed the survey of the top floor and confirmed that it was safe.
Coming to the top floor, Zhang Xiaoming made a quick purchase and built a watchtower.
In an instant, a wooden watchtower about seven or eight meters high, resembling an ancient lookout, stood on top of the already high roof.
The infantry No. 1, who was closely following on the side, comprehended, continued to carry Zhang Xiaoming on his back, and quickly climbed towards the top of the sentry tower.
Infantry No. 1's body was as dexterous as an ape, and in just a few vertical jumps, he easily jumped to the top of the tower with Zhang Xiaoming on his back.
The moment he stood at the top of the tower, Zhang Xiaoming felt that the whole city was already in full view.
However, before he could take a closer look at this wonderful feeling, he suddenly struck a spirit.
didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly crouched on the top of the tower.
