The cleanup took hours until the sun rose; everyone feared a second wave.
I used my dismantle skill to remove most zombies from the walls, earning items and resources, but avoiding the foul stench and disease issues. However, I kept the corpses of stronger zombies because Jiang Siwan asked me to.
The scientists at the base started examining the mutation and infection weeks ago, to see if there could one day be a cure. I wanted to give them such a chance. It felt a little dangerous to provide them with a Stage Five body.
I kept a Stage Four of each combat type; there wasn't a Stage Four command-type.
Thank god.
"John, there is food waiting in the cafeteria." Jiang Roulan's tired voice echoed from the ladders below. Since the battle ended, she started running around helping the wounded off the wall and rounding up any deserters.
"Will you join me?"
"Eh, I would love to, but I have to—"
Thud!
