Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 730 The Function of Formations

After eliminating all the zombies at the site of the formation, Lu Hao simply burned all the zombie bodies to ashes.

Only Lu Hao and Nie Qing were setting up the formation, and Su Jin also suggested that everyone else go back to the vehicle first to prevent them from becoming too big of a target and attracting more zombies or sudden attacks from zombie cockroaches.

"Su Jin, what are they doing now?"

Qiao asked, puzzled. Why couldn’t he understand what those two were doing, pacing back and forth?

"Setting traps,"

Su Jin said simply.

The two quickly finished setting up the confinement formation, but there was still something missing within the formation to attract the zombie cockroaches.

"Avril, Abby, could you help seal these two pots with Metal Element Ability? However, we need to leave some small holes on top that the zombie cockroaches can’t get through; we just need the scent inside to waft out,"

Su Jin explained, this was a method they had come up with the night before in their space.

Although Mao Zhihang could make a ventilated cage with Metal Element Ability, Qiao knew that there were no Metal Element Ability Users among them, so he had to explain it to Avril and Abby, who were Metal Element, and ask for their help.

The ventilated cage was just to protect the food inside from being eaten too quickly by the zombie cockroaches. Otherwise, constantly placing food inside was not only a waste but also unsafe.

"Of course, we’d be happy to serve,"

Avril readily agreed, as they all understood that this was to use the food in the pots that was smeared with blood to attract the zombie cockroaches. However, the contents of those pots looked disgustingly messy—unclear what kind of animal meat it was.

"Oh, that’s the mutated fish we caught on the road some time ago; they were almost rotting because we kept them in the space, so they ended up like this,"

Su Jin bluffed, but those were actually fish from their space’s stream. They had to disguise it, so Mao Zhihang ruined their appearance beyond recognition...

"It’s mutated fish; no wonder they look so big. But it’s such a pity, why didn’t you eat them sooner?"

Morris lamented as he looked at the two large pots.

"They say pregnant women can’t stand the smell of fish,"

Reese explained softly from the side.

"..."

Su Jin thought to herself that she still heard it, but let them interpret it on their own...

Avril and Abby quickly made the ventilated cage according to Su Jin’s request. The cage was thick enough that even giant cockroaches couldn’t break through it, a method that Su Xiangzhe had come up with.

"Excellent, the fish’s bloody scent won’t attract zombies, you’re so clever!"

Qiao praised.

While the scent of livestock blood could attract some zombies, it didn’t affect all zombies. And it had been found that the bloody scent of fish generally had no impact on zombies; it would only attract zombie animals.

"Indeed, if it attracted Mutated Zombies, this cage might not hold up,"

Su Jin said with a smile.

After the ventilated cages were ready, Lu Hao placed them in the center of the formation, then came up and said to everyone, "This should do it; let’s head to the next place."

???

That’s it?

Shocked, Qiao asked, "Aren’t we going to wait here? To deal with the zombie cockroaches that get lured in."

"No need, if they do get lured here, they won’t be able to escape,"

Su Jin stated.

Qiao was surprised for a moment but sensibly didn’t ask why. He remembered Su Jin saying that even if they saw it, they might not understand, so they might as well just wait for the results.

Although David and the others didn’t know what drama the Heart Talk Team was causing, Qiao had already advised them in the hotel the day before that if the Heart Talk Team didn’t want to speak, they should not ask, since Huaxia is a country with a long history and is very mysterious.

Lu Hao’s goal was to have all six locations in the area he divided set up with formations by the morning, so that they could start clearing the Zombie Cockroaches caught in the formations in the afternoon.

Two hours later, when the group returned to the place where they had first set the traps, David was so startled by the scene ahead that he dared not continue driving forward.

What’s the deal with those two dark and oppressive spots?

Upon closer inspection, they were actually piles of Zombie Cockroaches stacked dozens of layers high!

To think that the area of the trap was already not small to begin with!

Seeing that the formation had truly been effective, Su Jin was also very pleased. She hadn’t expected that after eliminating the Cockroach Nest, so many Zombie Cockroaches would still come running from elsewhere. This indicated just how many Zombie Cockroaches there must be in Y country.

"There are Zombie Rats inside too!"

Huang Yunxiang exclaimed in shock, as they had all seen Zombie Rats before, but they had never seen ones this large.

Qiao also looked at the so-called "traps" in shock. Why couldn’t the Zombie Cockroaches and Zombie Rats inside escape?!

What kind of divine trap was this?!

"It’s okay, once they’re in, they can’t get out. David can keep driving forward,"

Su Jin said to David, who had been scared stiff.

"Really?"

David was still somewhat in disbelief; he had never seen so many gathered Zombie Cockroaches before.

"Really, we guarantee it,"

Su Jin said with a smile. If one didn’t know the purpose of the formation, they would probably be scared too.

"Wow, Old Nie, I didn’t expect your thing to be so useful here,"

Lu Guanhai also looked excitedly at the "results" ahead, as the efficiency was greatly improved.

"What do you mean it’s useful here? It works everywhere, okay?"

Nie Qing objected.

"It looks like no more are being attracted. We’ll observe for another 10 minutes, and then we’ll get out of the car and deal with them,"

Lu Hao said. He had already surveyed the surroundings, and aside from some restless Zombies, there were no more Zombie Cockroaches or Zombie Rats rushing over.

It seemed the fishy smell still attracted some Zombies, but since there were very few Zombies in this area to start with, there were only a few dozen Zombies outside.

"Mr. Lu, are you sure they won’t run out?"

Yves asked.

"They won’t,"

Lu Hao replied. As the car approached, everyone noticed that in addition to Zombie Cockroaches and Zombie Rats, there seemed to be some Zombie poultry animals inside the formations, too, only they couldn’t be identified because they had lost all their feathers or fur.

However, their sole behavior was to face the minibusses, charging and crashing inside the formation, as if they wanted to devour every person in the bus.

"Can I go deal with them?"

Yves hesitated before asking. He was a Fire Element Ability User, though only Level Four.

"Of course, you can,"

Su Jin thought Yves just wanted to experience the thrill, but after Yves got out of the vehicle, it was Qiao who explained that Yves’s wife and child had both been eaten by Zombie Cockroaches...

All the Zombies surrounding the vehicle had been dealt with, and Yves walked up to the two formations. Looking at the still noisy Zombie animals inside, he conjured a huge flame in his hand...
