To make sure citizens were helping each other, police personnel made a database of who donated food and water to the warehouse, together with people, who took from it. The highest donators were put in the hall of fame for all to see.

Teenagers were the new eyes and strength of the city; they accompanied and helped police and firefighters during the patrols. Bing Shi was afraid that if they were left alone, it’d get out of control.

For traveling, citizens used bikes with any solar panels they could find. A small 200V panel in the size of a 19-inch monitor was enough to charge a laptop for 22 hours. Because of the highlighted awareness of renewable energy for this past year, there was an abundance of solar panels.

Knowing that fuel would go rancid in time, citizens used gas from abandoned cars for fuel generators. It was decided that gas stations were going to be used by soldiers, exclusively.

While Ren Han and Yi Zen were discussing a new strategy, Bing Shi and Qua Tao were outside on the open field. She couldn’t compare to those two when it came to military knowledge. With a tablet in hand, she started to do experiments with soldiers, who were grouped in accordance with their abilities.

It wasn’t mentioned in the world story, but if metal and earth users could manipulate surrounding objects, why not others? Instead of spending energy to produce flashy moves, which was good against a dozen of zombies, but not thousands of them. Soldiers were required to utilize their surroundings proficiently.

The most beneficial advantage against the zombies was the ability to fight from above.

Air users had to learn how to control the direction of air enough to levitate themselves and others off the ground, and remain in the air for as long as they could.

.....

Fire users had to learn how to levitate themselves with a thermal field. This would also train them on how to create, shape, and manipulate heat by increasing the kinetic energy of atoms and thus making things hotter, ranging from subjective feeling of heat to absolute hot.

Due to the limited quantities of water present in the air, about 1%, water users couldn’t use their surroundings to their fullest without expending lots of energy. However, they were tasked to extract water from objects containing water, like grass and flowers.

Earth users were at the moment trying to sink a boulder into the ground forcibly; in the future, they could imprison their opponents or even suffocate them in the earth.

It was much harder than they thought it would be. For it, a sturdy body and mind were needed. Each time soldiers learned something new, they were required to share it with Bing Shi, slowly establishing a group of deadly combatants.

In her mind, she quietly lit a candle for all the zombies in city K.

‘Whose idea was it to give humans so much power?’

In the southern part of the city, inside a truck for drone pilots, the soldier tried to track down high leveled zombies.

According to Bing Shi, more intelligent zombies brought fear to low leveled ones. So wherever there was some irregularity among LVL 1 to LVL 2 zombies, there was a high chance that a LVL 3 zombie and higher was nearby.

Five months after the apocalypse...

Bing Shi, who was hugging Kuro, looked at the helicopter disapprovingly, “What if something happens to me?”

Fu Lian watched Bing Shi in annoyance, “Then stay back in the base.” She turned her gaze to Yi Zen, “Nobody wants to carry a burden around.”

These past few days, during sparings, Bing Shi would always run away like a chicken, fully showcasing how useless she was in combat.

Bing Shi covered Kuro’s ears, “Don’t listen to her Kuro; you are not a burden.”

“??,” Fu Lian veins popped up, “Don’t act stupid. We all know who I was speaking about.”

Bing Shi looked up at the soldiers and tilted her head, “Do we?”

Ten or so men snickered in amusement, “Hell, no.”

Yi Zen checked the rifle before giving it to Fu Lian, “Why don’t you stay back with Bing Shi? It’s dangerous outside.”

Bing Shi nodded, “Great idea. Miss Fu Lian, we should leave it to the professionals.”

Fu Lian smiled in mockery. “Professionals, who can’t even defeat a woman,” she said and hopped on the helicopter.

“...” The men who painstakingly trained and fought on a daily basis for years grew silent. Their egos flattened as they looked at Fu Lian in admiration and suspicion.

The rich young miss was a hidden genius. As far as they knew, there was no information about her learning martial arts. They didn’t know that one year was enough for Fu Lian to comprehend martial art and swordsmanship from an elderly, who lived in the mountains. Combined with the strength, she gained from absorbing jades; she was able to defeat all the men who challenged her for the fight.

But how could sparing be combined with actual combat, where anything could happen? First and foremost, Fu Lian was the worst teammate that would make one pull out their hair. She didn’t listen to other’s orders at all, mocking their every action! Just because she defeated them, she thought that she could order them however she wanted?

Yes, she could, because their general Yi Zen acted as a wife slave!

????+(??? +)

So whenever Bing Shi teased Fu Lian, soldiers put a blind eye to it and play along with her.

Like now.

On their way to city D, Fu Lian noticed someone was missing, her gaze switched to Kuro, “Where is Yi Zen?”

Qua Tao rolled his eyes and scoffed, “General Yi Zen’s and Bing Shi’s life is too important to go to the battleground. They can’t be replaced like us, mere soldiers.”

Fu Lian furrowed her brows, not believing his words, “But I saw him during the cartel war. And he fought during the zombie lure too.”
