Lu Chen stepped forward and began to control the zombies.
He reached out and placed his hand on the waist of the nearest zombie, activated his superpower, and completed control after 10 seconds.
And then the next one!
After he had subdued all seven zombies, he had a total of 28 zombies under his command.
At this point, all 30 available slots have been used up.
Of course, since he left two zombies guarding the fire escape on the 5th floor when he left, the actual number of zombies following him at this moment is 26.
Twenty-six zombies stood in two rows in the lobby on the first floor, awaiting further instructions.
"Alright, let's split into two teams here!" Lu Chen began to make arrangements.
The logic behind the division is simple: the combat strength on both sides should be balanced as much as possible.
He had the elite zombie lead 10 ordinary zombies, forming a squad of 11 zombies.
The remaining 15, including key players like Tiezhu and Dazhuang, formed another small team.
Elite zombies have the strongest individual combat power, but they are accompanied by ordinary zombies and rely on the "sharp blade effect".
He doesn't have any elite-level enemies, but his team has two Iron Pillar-level enemies, Iron Pillar and Second Pillar, plus several Big Strong-level enemies, making them more formidable overall, relying on overwhelming force.
Lu Chen assigned the squad led by the elite zombie to Shen Qingci.
He will then possess the elite zombie directly, and the two can continue to work together seamlessly. Shen Qingci will use his superpower to investigate, while he will control the elite zombie to attack, just like when they cleared out zombies before, without any reduction in efficiency.
On his side, without Shen Qingci, who is a human radar, he needs more zombies to scout ahead. He brings 15 zombies with him so that they can scout ahead, protect, and provide support.
"How many field staff do you need to help?" Lu Chen asked, pointing to the five field staff behind him.
A series of rapid hoarse sounds and the scratching of fingernails against the door came from inside. He straightened up and said to Lu Chen, "There are zombies."
Lu Chen immediately gave the order, and Tie Zhu went up, wedged the crowbar into the door crack, broke the lock twice, and pushed the door open to enter.
A short, sharp roar came from inside, followed by the dull thud of a blade piercing flesh, and then silence.
On the 102 side, Ning Tieshan quickly confirmed that there were zombies inside, and Lu Chen immediately signaled Erzhu to deal with them.
On the contrary, when Wei Dong knocked on the door of apartment 103, there was silence for several seconds before a woman's trembling voice came from inside: "Who? Who's outside?"
Wei Dong immediately followed Lu Chen's instructions and, instead of answering directly, turned on the radio and played the recording of Project Dawn.
The deep, steady male announcer's voice came through the radio, clear and distinct in the quiet corridor.
After the recording finished playing, Wei Dong spoke: "We are a team of superhumans, and we've cleared this building of zombies. We're currently searching for survivors. Would you like to come with us? I'll provide accommodation and meals."
There was a moment of silence inside the door, then the lock clicked open.
A woman in her thirties peeked out, her face pale and her eyes sunken. When she saw Tiezhu and Erzhu standing at the door, she instinctively shrank back, but her gaze steadied when it fell on Weidong.
She asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you... really have food?"
"Of course, we will provide three meals a day!"
The woman glanced at the fully armed zombie again, swallowed, and nodded.
Lu Chen kept Wei Dong behind to help the woman pack her things, and also left her two zombies as guards.
He directed the horde of zombies to quickly clear the first floor, and then led Ning Tieshan and Zhao Yongqiang upstairs.
