On Han Kexin and Liu Tingting's side, things were slightly more difficult.
Liu Tingting was a healer.
Han Kexin's skills were powerful, but they lacked area damage.
Using a submachine gun and pistol from a distance, the two had only managed to kill two Zombies,
while eight more were already closing in fast.
They had no choice but to fight while retreating.
At that moment,
Han Kexin holstered her pistol and gripped her Tang sword with both hands.
"Tingting, stop using your gun,"
Han Kexin said as she prepared for close combat.
If Liu Tingting kept shooting, she might accidentally hit her.
"Use your blade.
We can't always rely on guns to fight."
Basic firearms posed a threat to other survivors,
but when facing Zombies, even a bit of distance rendered them ineffective.
Liu Tingting nodded.
She stowed her submachine gun and gripped her katana with both hands,
then the two of them charged forward together.
With 4x attribute enhancement,
their strength, speed, and explosive power were unmatched.
They split up,
surrounding the eight Zombies as they hacked, slashed, swept, and sliced.
Their movements were lightning-fast—only flashes of blades and the sound of cutting through air could be heard.
One by one, the Zombies' heads were chopped off.
The system-generated weapons were incredibly sharp.
Han Kexin's single strike even cleaved a Zombie clean in half.
With Liu Tingting's final strike decapitating a Zombie,
all eleven Zombies were slain.
A pile of Lucky Tokens dropped to the ground.
Xiao Yu had remained still the entire time,
facing fifteen Zombies and simply waiting for them to rush at him.
With a sweep of his slender, gleaming Miao Dao,
three Zombie heads flew off in an instant.
A longer blade really did make a difference.
Xiao Yu immediately stepped back,
flipped his blade, and delivered another sweeping slash—
two more heads rolled to the ground.
Ten Zombies remained.
Xiao Yu sidestepped and swung his Miao Dao in wide, flowing arcs.
With 8x agility, his speed peaked—
often killing two Zombies with a single strike.
It was like a silent, elegant dance of death.
Zombie heads rolled to the ground one after another.
Whoosh—
He exhaled lightly and flicked the blood off his blade.
Fifteen kills complete.
He had intentionally avoided using any skills—
he was refining his swordsmanship by fighting the horde.
Just then, the four team members jogged over.
They had already finished cleaning up their side.
Xiao Yu gathered the Lucky Tokens from the ground.
Together with the others' loot, they had collected sixteen in total.
Suddenly, another large group of Zombies appeared in a nearby residential complex.
They began stacking themselves into a human wall, trying to climb over.
"Zombies are getting more numerous."
"The situation in S City is getting worse,"
Anna said worriedly.
But Xiao Yu smiled. "As long as the city hasn't fallen, it's all good for us—
because killing Zombies means Loot Drops."
"Everyone,
attack together!"
Xiao Yu led the team to the fence surrounding the complex.
While the Zombies were still climbing, they kept attacking non-stop.
Long, sharp blades stabbed through the gaps.
At such close range, every strike was a headshot.
Lucky Tokens dropped one after another.
Two Zombies managed to climb the fence and were about to leap over—
but Xiao Yu swept his Miao Dao and took both their heads clean off.
The team quickly cleared out this group of Zombies
and collected ten more Lucky Tokens.
Just then,
a woman's terrified scream came from an upper floor.
A moment later, she fell and slammed into the ground—dead.
Xiao Yu looked up
and saw a Zombie roaring on the balcony.
The woman must have been forced to jump.
The Zombie also spotted Xiao Yu's team and became even more agitated—
it tried to leap off the balcony to attack them.
Instead, it fell and died on impact.
At that moment, a military vehicle approached.
A soldier got out and was stunned by the scene—
all the Zombies had been killed with melee weapons.
His heart trembled.
"You guys killed all these Zombies?"
Xiao Yu nodded.
The soldier saluted and said,
"The city is severely lacking manpower. With your strength,
if you join the City Guard, you could make a huge difference."
"We must defend S City to survive."
Xiao Yu didn't explain.
He simply took out his Special Commissioner badge and flashed it.
The soldier saluted again.
Since Xiao Yu was a commissioner,
it didn't matter whether he joined the guard or not—
he was already an insider.
"I have a question."
"How many fighters are currently left in S City,
and how long can the city hold out?"
The soldier replied truthfully:
"Sir, after last night's battles,
the number of active soldiers has dropped sharply—only about 3,800 remain."
"But we've recalled retired veterans.
Now, including police forces,
we have a little over 6,200 personnel citywide."
He sighed and added,
"But with just this number, we can hold out for at most two more days—
unless the troops stationed outside the city come in to support us."
The soldier's tone was filled with resentment.
They were fighting to the death inside the city,
while over ten thousand troops outside had set up defensive lines
and watched their comrades die.
Xiao Yu nodded, signaling he understood.
He had gotten the information he wanted.
S City could still hold for two more days—
enough time for him to complete his final looting and retreat safely.
Just then,
as the soldier was about to get back into the vehicle,
his comrade in the driver's seat suddenly turned into a Zombie.
He pounced on the soldier, clawing at him.
The soldier froze—
but Xiao Yu didn't hesitate. He raised his gun and unloaded a burst of bullets.
The freshly mutated driver was gunned down.
The soldier silently saluted Xiao Yu,
then, grief-stricken, dragged his friend's corpse out of the vehicle
and left it by the roadside.
He got back into the military truck and drove away alone.
He was still alive—
so he had to keep fighting.
