Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert
Chapter 41: Cooperation!
Shu Yao naturally hoped that Chen Tuo would choose Guangming Mountain, so that she could take the opportunity to return to the mountain village and look for her grandmother's whereabouts.
But if Chen Tuo doesn't make a choice in the end, she won't have any complaints.
Because she knew that compared to other barren mountains near Jiaxing, Guangming Mountain was more habitable, but it also had more zombies.
Rather than risking an uncertain possibility for her own selfish reasons, she would rather Chen Tuo prioritize his own safety.
Now, she has placed all her hopes on Chen Tuo, so she will naturally consider their safety sincerely and unconditionally support all of Chen Tuo's decisions...
Hearing Shu Yao's words, Zhang Shanhai was somewhat surprised. "From what Brother Chen Tuo is saying, you're planning to leave the neighborhood and go to the mountains near Jiaxing to find a place to stay?"
Li Wenwu chimed in quietly, "Brother Hai, you're only just realizing it? Isn't it obvious...?"
"I thought Brother Chen Tuo was just asking casually."
Zhang Shanhai scratched his head and continued, "To be honest, Guangming Mountain is indeed a good place, but the risks are too great. If Brother Chen Tuo really has this idea, there are quite a few mountains near Jiaxing that are nice, but there aren't many ready-made man-made structures, so they're not as comfortable to live in. I'll think about it more carefully later and list a few for you..."
Li Wenwu remained silent, but he was completely baffled.
Isn't it better to live in a residential complex? There are ready-made houses to live in, comfortable and cozy, and you can keep out zombies by locking the door.
As for supplies, there are so many households to search, and there are so few survivors right now. If we search every house, it will probably take a year and a half to finish them all.
Even if Platinum International is completely emptied out, there's still the neighboring residential area.
After searching the neighborhoods next door, there are also neighborhoods next to those neighborhoods.
Why risk running out of the city and into the mountains?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Chen Tuo didn't respond; instead, he fell into deep thought...
From Zhang Shanhai and Shu Yao's words, he got a general idea of the situation at Guangming Mountain.
Going up the mountain is strenuous, but with the cable car, it saves a lot of effort.
Furthermore, the cable car is divided into passenger cable and cargo cable, so even large items can be transported up the mountain effortlessly.
At the same time, the effort also means greater safety, not only better preventing zombies from wandering up, but also making it easier to deal with some unscrupulous survivors.
The cable car control room is located on the mountain, so there's no need to worry about outsiders sneaking in using the cable car.
The remaining two routes are both longer than the last; we can deal with them along the way no matter what.
With its main peak reaching an altitude of 3,000 meters and surrounded by a continuous mountain range, it is undoubtedly an excellent vantage point...
As a large scenic area, the mountain has a full range of buildings, including hotels, villas, viewing platforms, and all kinds of modern facilities.
Behind it lies a vast protected area of primeval forest, rich in resources.
The only problem is that if you want to go up the mountain, you have to clear out the zombies that are stuck on the mountain first.
Two hundred is a conservative estimate; during peak tourist season, it could be as high as five or six hundred.
With so many zombies clustered together, there's no chance that there might be evolved species mixed in, making the danger level exceptionally high.
As for Huanghua Town at the foot of the mountain, it doesn't matter.
No matter how many zombies there are, they can't compare to Jia City. No matter where we settle down in the future, if we want to go out to search for supplies, we will inevitably have to deal with zombies.
Guangming Mountain is indeed the most suitable place for long-term survival, but it is also the riskiest. It all depends on whether you are willing to take the risk.

The bathroom door opened, and Jiang Xin came out.
Chen Tuo didn't dwell on the issue any further. Today was just to get a feel for the situation. As for whether to go or not, he would consider it later.
"Damn, I finally got to throw up..."
Jiang Xin was pale, as if all her energy had been drained. One hand was on the door frame, the other on her hip, and her legs were spread wide apart, making her look like a crooked "big" character.
She had changed her clothes beforehand and was now wearing a princess dress.
However, her petite and delicate appearance, coupled with such an unrestrained posture and rough words, just looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.
Just as Shu Yao said, this person is full of stark contrasts...
Anyone who saw her would think she was a delinquent girl, completely disregarding the opinions of others.
But the moment her gaze fell on Chen Tuo, she froze.
"Oh no, I forgot about my idol!"
She stood at attention with her legs together, her hands lightly clasped in front of her, and a gentle and obedient smile appeared on her face. She looked exactly like an adorable little girl.
Her appearance caught the few people who had just seen her face off off off for a moment. Could she change her expression so quickly?
"Brother Tuo!"
Jiang Xin, speaking in a low voice, ran to Chen Tuo's side with small, quick steps.
There were no empty sofas, but she managed to squeeze one out and pressed herself tightly against Chen Tuo.
Chen Tuo: "..."
When Li Wenwu saw Jiang Xin's appearance, his eyes lit up. He immediately sat up straight, cleared his throat, and tried to give her a gentle smile.
"Um... little sister, I still have a seat here. If you think it's too crowded over there, you can come over here..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xin quickly declined in a soft voice, "No need, I can just sit here."
Hearing that sweet, delicate voice, Li Wenwu felt his heart melt. "Don't be shy, come and sit down. My place is very spacious."
As he spoke, he squeezed Zhang Shanhai in, managing to make room for two people.
"Really, it's not necessary," Jiang Xin said with a smile, declining again.
"Come on, don't be shy..." Li Wenwu's enthusiasm remained undiminished, almost to the point of pulling and tugging him forward.
Chen Tuo, too lazy to listen to the two continue arguing, got up and headed towards the bathroom, just as he was getting into the mood.
But even as the door closed, my ears still caught the sounds from outside…
"Go to hell! This is my house, I can sit wherever I want! Besides, I'm twenty-three this year, I'm just petite, not really small. If you keep babbling on, I'll punch you and make your pig head even more symmetrical!"
Although he deliberately kept his voice very low, Chen Tuo, whose ears are always very sensitive, still heard every single word.
He smiled helplessly at this.
This die-hard fan of mine seems to have a personality that's quite deceptive compared to her appearance...
When Chen Tuo came out of the bathroom, Jiang Xin had already returned to her adorable self, sitting very ladylike on the sofa. She even shifted her body slightly and patted the sofa, indicating that she should come and sit down.
In contrast, Li Wenwu's face looked as if he had eaten shit.
Zhang Shanhai, sitting next to him, still had a righteous yet somewhat simple-minded look on his face, and he sat up straight.
Shu Yao's expression was subtle, as if she wanted to laugh but dared not.
Chen Tuo did not return to his original seat, but instead sat down in the empty seat that Li Wenwu had originally intended to leave for Jiang Xin.
He ignored Jiang Xin's resentful gaze and went straight to the point, "Old Zhang, you two both came down from the top floor, which floor are you cleaning up to?"
Zhang Shanhai hurriedly said, "Our progress is rather slow; we've only cleared up to the 26th floor in the last few days."
Chen Tuo nodded slightly, meaning that apart from the 25th floor, which had not yet been touched, most of the entire Unit 2 of Building 8 had been cleaned up, with only the floors below the 16th floor remaining to be cleaned.
"Since we're all survivors from the same building and share the same goal, how about we cooperate for now and clear out the rest of the building together?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shanhai was overjoyed.
The reason why progress has been slow these past few days is because he is the only one dealing with most of the zombies, while Li Wenwu can only assist from the sidelines.
He's good at searching for things, but he's really bad at killing zombies.
Zhang Shanhai was exhausted, but because of their long-standing friendship, he couldn't say anything.
He could tell that Chen Tuo was a skilled worker, and that working with someone like him would definitely speed up the cleanup process significantly.
"Excellent, Brother Chen Tuo, that's exactly what I was thinking!"
"Alright, let's not delay, shall we set off now?"
"No problem, let's go now!"
