Lin Ran stood by the window for a while, airing out the smell. She recalled the elevator in Building 10. If the elevator was functional, they could save a lot of effort by using it to move supplies instead of carrying everything by hand.

Lin Ran immediately called Wang Wuyang, "Once this batch is done, have them come up. You and Ye Li stay on the first floor. I'll check if the elevator in their building works. If it does, we can save a lot of effort."

"Got it, Sister Lin. I'll let them know," Wang Wuyang said promptly.

"What did Sister Lin say?" Ye Li asked.

"Sister Lin wants to check if the elevator works. Otherwise, moving everything up and down will take too long," Wang Wuyang explained, then turned to Wu Qi and the others, "Sister Lin wants you to come up and check the elevator. If it works, we won't have to carry everything down by hand."

"Got it." Wu Qi and the others, though exhausted, gritted their teeth and headed upstairs for the sake of food and water.

Lin Ran had already summoned the elevator to the 9th floor. There were no zombies in the left elevator, but as soon as the right one stopped, three zombies rushed out.

With a swift upward slash of her Tang sword, Lin Ran decapitated the first zombie. Without slowing down, she slashed the second zombie's neck while kicking the third one to the ground.

After finishing off the second zombie, she bent down and finished off the third one on the floor.

Mo Shuyu placed two water cups from 901 at the elevator door to prevent it from closing.

Wu Qi and the others had arrived by then. Seeing them, Lin Ran said, "Let's use the elevator for moving things. It'll save a lot of effort. Once you're loaded, call Wang Wuyang to operate the elevator from the first floor."

"Got it, we'll start moving things out." Wu Qi and the others hurried to move the supplies.

Although the supplies weren't particularly heavy, going up and down the stairs was difficult. But with the elevator, it took less than half an hour to move everything from 901 to the first floor.

Lin Ran looked outside the building. There were only four zombies. She instructed, "Move everything to the corridor on the first floor of Building 9, then come back for more. Leave the zombies to me. I'll clear the four outside first, and you can start moving supplies when you get the chance."

"Okay, Sister Lin," Wang Wuyang responded quickly.

The two buildings weren't far apart, and the path was flat, so moving the supplies wasn't difficult. The main issue was the constant harassment from zombies, but with Lin Ran around, it wasn't much of a problem.

Initially, Xu Xiaoying and Wang Wen were a bit scared, but after a few trips, they became numb to it. They knew that no matter how fierce the zombies were, they couldn't beat Lin Ran. The piles of zombie corpses around Buildings 9 and 10 were proof of that.

After killing zombies for a while, Lin Ran's light jacket was soaked through. She kept swinging her sword, and soon the road was littered with zombie bodies.

When Wang Wuyang and the others finished their last trip, Wang Wuyang called out to Lin Ran, "Sister Lin, we've moved all the useful things."

"Alright, head back inside." Lin Ran kept swinging her sword, quickly dispatching the three zombies around her.

With that, she grabbed her Tang sword and rushed into the corridor of Building 9. By then, her face and neck were covered in sweat.

Mo Shuyu and the others had also sweated a lot while moving supplies, but Lin Ran had it the hardest, as she couldn't stop for a moment. If she did, the zombies would attack the others.
