Chapter 741 - 612: Any Progress Is Good

In the train carriage, the aisle was littered with miscellaneous debris, predominantly composed of severed limbs. Oftentimes, there was no place to step, necessitating movement on the seats. Thankfully, the zombies had turned into idiots, making them easy to deal with; otherwise, humans would be utterly defeated in such an environment!

Of course, if there was a choice, the battlefield wouldn’t be placed inside the narrow carriage.

Whoosh!

Zhang Su moved nimbly on the seats, silently creeping up behind the zombies to make the first move.

It was exceedingly simple to kill unresponsive zombies, yet he remained vigilant, gripping the zombie’s nape while delivering a firm blow, cleanly ending its life.

The aisle was so narrow that people couldn’t spread out, so the other five simply vaulted over the seats, their movements equally swift, following closely and starting the cleanup.

"Watching this makes my palms sweat..."

"Tell me about it, I’m constantly worried the zombies will suddenly go berserk!"

"Let’s not talk about those... let’s have some faith in Sister Cheng Xu. There are still several carriages!"

The remaining dozen members of the Yama Corps watched through the windows, seeing the tense yet quiet cleanup inside, feeling a strange contrast.

Whoosh whoosh!

When the last zombie in carriage five was eliminated, the whole situation unfolded with no danger or surprise, all the tension and fear originating solely from their speculation.

"Whew... ever since the disaster started, this is the first time killing zombies felt so easy, like dreaming!"

Guo Dachao took off his mask to breathe, looking at the zombie slumped on the seat with disbelief, his face filled with emotion.

"Ugh..."

Seeing Guo Dachao unfazed after removing his mask, Zhang Ya thought it was fine, removed hers for easier breathing, but as soon as she inhaled deeply, the stench nearly made her vomit, hastily putting her mask back on.

"Move move move, let’s air out the smell, we’ll come back later to clean up; let’s go clear out the other carriages first!"

Zhang Su maintained a low breathing rate, and after a thorough check, he led his team out of the carriage.

"Bro, let me take a turn this time, let me enjoy it too!"

As soon as the group stepped out, Zhao Dezhu hurried forward to volunteer. It’s rare to beat zombies like scarecrows. He had to get involved.

Seeing the eager companion, Zhang Su took off his mask to breathe fresh air and said, "What’s the rush, with so many carriages left? The remaining ones are all yours..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was more than happy, not a hint of discontent.

With the addition of Program No. 1, clearing the zombies from the carriage became exceptionally simple, yet a problem arose: Program No. 1 only listened to Zhang Su...

Even if Zhang Su issued delegated orders, designating someone else for Program No. 1 to follow, she ignored it.

The other members didn’t mind, but Zhang Su was annoyed. He had planned to take a break and think over Program No. 1, but was now caught up in the hustle.

Outside carriage four, Zhang Su said to Program No. 1, "There’s a special zombie inside this carriage, it’s quite large, you’ll see it, why not try controlling it first."

To avoid angering the big guy, everyone kept away from the windows.

Program No. 1 heard Zhang Su’s words and walked clumsily towards the window. Glancing inside, she immediately saw the standout figure.

Following the usual method, Program No. 1 awakened all zombies inside the carriage. When she awakened the zombies, they wouldn’t go berserk, making further operations convenient.

Against Zhang Su’s expectations, the big guy was less obedient to Program No. 1, requiring nearly a minute just to control this giant.

"We can do this!" Zhang Su felt elated, giving orders to Program No. 1 from a distance, "Try letting the big guy attack other zombies."

Program No. 1 didn’t nod nor vocally respond, instead, she made a twisted "OK" sign with her stiff hands.

Perhaps having gathered experience from controlling zombies to fight each other, this time it didn’t take long to control the big guy to attack other zombies. In less than a minute, the big guy swung his pot-sized fist, pounding at a nearby zombie.

As the large fist rose and fell, the power was terrifying, coupled with its high hardness, instantly smashing the head of another zombie...

However, just as Program No. 1 continued the onslaught, she suddenly shivered, and a loud bang was heard, startling those leaning against the high-speed train into jolting upright.

"Quick, Program, calm the big guy, make sure he settles down!"

Zhang Su hurriedly issued the command. Even the sturdy train windows couldn’t withstand the big guy’s destruction—it’s something that could crush cars flat!

Bang!

Another punch...

Members of the Yama Corps had already armed themselves, ready to fight at any time, but fortunately most had experience dealing with the big guy and didn’t panic.

The sound of the big guy punching the window echoed like a bell toll in the ears of ordinary zombies, gradually freeing them from Program No. 1’s control. But before they fully regained consciousness, the big guy settled down.

Confronted with the accident, Program No. 1 remained calm, possibly due to her robust nerves.

The calming process proceeded swiftly, in less than half a minute. After withstanding two more punches from the big guy, the zombies inside the carriage were quiet once again.

"Oh my gosh!"

Zhang Su and his team went to the window, and predictably, it showed spider web cracks with the inner layer shattered. One more punch and it would definitely break!

Despite roaming outside the window, it didn’t draw the zombies’ attention inside the carriage. Even the big guy remained absentmindedly dazed.

"Your controlling ability is improving steadily, let’s not risk having them fight each other for now. Keep it up, and we’ll start working!"

Zhang Su said to Program No. 1.

"Oh oh."

Program focused intently on the carriage, nodding slightly.

This time everything was convenient, even explosives were spared. Cleaning personnel simply entered from carriage five, and the passage doors were a lot easier to pry open than the carriage doors!

As the Yama Corps cleaned zombies on the railway bridge fervently, the logistics team on Celestial Horse Island also kept busy.

Yi Xiaoling and Mo Qianlan, after feeding the pigs and sheep, turned to the poultry, attending to the livestock and poultry before heading to the greenhouse.

On the mountain were one large and small greenhouse combined, totaling less than an acre, initially set up by the B&B owner as a gimmick to attract guests. With some investment and decent materials, these greenhouses now play a crucial role in supplying vegetables to the camp, necessitating attentive management.

Due to lack of sunlight, the thermal blankets over the plastic sheets weren’t removed until past nine, providing internal and external warmth to ensure proper vegetable growth.

"With no sun day after day, the cucumber saplings aren’t growing well..."

Yi Xiaoling inspected the crops, looking at the grey sky through the plastic sheet, feeling troubled.

Mo Qianlan squatted beside a lettuce patch, fiddled with the wilting leaves, then checked the temperature near the stove, removed the stove lid, and added a piece of zombie remains.

"Sister Xiaoling, if this weather persists, shouldn’t we consider installing solar lights?"

"Ahem ahem!"

Suddenly, a throat-clearing sound came from the greenhouse entrance, followed by a cheerful voice.

"When sunlight is insufficient, indeed we can use blue, green, red, and orange-light solar lamps. If there are LED grow lights, all the better; they’ll effectively enhance photosynthesis and promote plant growth. I wonder if I’m right, Sister Xiaoling."
