You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

```

Bounty Hunters?

Lin Mo was a bit stunned at once.

Just then, his gaze suddenly caught sight of the Titan that was moving.

Could it be that Director Zhang intended for them to—

"Hehe, it seems you've already guessed,"

"Interested?"

The three of them suddenly became silent, completely lacking the fervor they had shown when swearing loyalty to Zhang Ye just moments before.

Nobody expected that the task Zhang Ye wanted them to do would be this.

To capture mutant zombies?

Just the three of them?

Those who had survived until today often had one advantage.

That is a very clear awareness of their own capabilities.

Otherwise, they would have died long ago.

However, even so, people would still perish every day, and the biggest reason often lay in a mentality of wishful thinking.

Believing that if you could succeed once, you could a second time, a third time.

And yet, it was this sliver of hope that often cost them their lives in the end.

Just how dangerous this Titan was, probably no one knew better than these three, aside from members of the Combat Department who had experienced it firsthand.

Walls a dozen centimeters thick were like paper to it.

Not even one charge could be withstood.

If walls were useless, let alone their shields.

The team had originally consisted of six people, but in one confrontation, two were crushed to death by the Titan and one was torn apart, leaving only the three of them to flee in a wretched state.

If it weren't for Lin Mo suddenly thinking of a rumor at the last moment and using a high-voltage electric shock to bring down the Titan, they might not have survived to return.

But this one-time success was clearly not easy to replicate.

Once the timing was off, the outcome was self-evident.

Moreover, would the company allow them to use the safety zone's high-voltage grid as a capturing tool?

Who knows if enemies would take advantage of the damage to sneak in?

Who would take responsibility then?

For all these reasons, the two who had been full of fighting spirit turned mute, looking at each other, then back at their current captain, Lin Mo.

The meaning in their eyes was very clear: he should hurry up and refuse the offer.

After all, the company would definitely compensate them to some extent.

The three of them would not be at a loss if they split it.

"Director Zhang, this job is simply too dangerous,"

"We don't think we can do it,"

Just as they were thinking this, they heard Lin Mo's voice, clearly also concerned about the dangers of the job.

It seemed the three of them had reached a consensus.

Next would be the negotiation for the reward.

But Lin Mo suddenly changed the subject, speaking seriously, "That's why we need more hands."

"And weapons and equipment."

"Preferably—"

Before he could finish, Zhang Ye had already understood his intention.

"Guns?"

"Hehe."

"You've got some nerve."

The two who had been ready to accept their reward heard Zhang Ye's cold laugh and were so frightened, they were beside themselves, wishing they could rush up and cover Lin Mo's mouth.

"Director Zhang, you've misunderstood!"

"How could that be what Brother Lin meant?"

Seeing this, one of them quickly tried to smooth things over for Lin Mo, but before he could finish, Lin Mo was already nodding emphatically,

"Director Zhang, you guessed right,"

"It is guns."

"Otherwise, we can't even guarantee our own safety, how can we help you catch these mutant zombies?"

He pulled away the hand of his companion who was blocking him, and looked straight at Zhang Ye without any hesitation.

"I want not only guns, but also more people."

```

"The more, the better,"

His two companions were now completely afraid to speak.

Keen intuition told them that something was off about the current atmosphere.

The guards around them, who seemed like iron men, had surrounded the trio at some point, their mouths under their helmets exhaling a stench.

A rumor had somehow surfaced within the safe zone.

It said that the company's zombies also fed on humans.

Otherwise, where did the bodies of those criminals executed for various reasons go?

Perhaps this was how the company managed to control the zombies?

Over a dozen crimson eyes were staring at them, especially at Lin Mo at the forefront, who appeared fearless but whose palms were already damp.

No one ever dared to haggle with the company, let alone with the mysterious Director?

Very few had seen him with their own eyes.

Most people were more familiar with Xu Lin, the current head of security and surveillance in the safe zone.

And at this moment, the look in Xu Lin's eyes was similarly unfriendly.

Zhang Ye was no longer the green youth he had once been, he had gradually adapted to the identity of a superior, his thoughts beginning to shift towards those of a true leader.

And as a leader, one must be able to control the situation at all times.

To put it bluntly, everything was up to him to decide.

And Lin Mo at this moment, had clearly misunderstood one thing, that he didn't have the capital to lay down terms with Zhang Ye.

As a survivor under the company, his only right was to obey.

"What if I say there aren't any?"

Zhang Ye suddenly spoke up, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.

"This task will be assigned to the three of you to carry out."

"No guns, and no one else."

"What will you do?"

The two men standing behind Lin Mo turned deathly pale upon hearing this, their frantic eyes quickly turned to Lin Mo.

Hurry up and admit your mistake!

Brother Lin, have you gone mad?

If you don't confess, the three of us are done for!

Gulp.

Lin Mo's throat bobbed.

Sweat beads had already formed a fine layer on his forehead.

Regret surged in his heart, wishing he could slap himself awake.

Preoccupied with how to seize the opportunity to stand out, he had completely forgotten his situation.

They were not company employees.

They were just residents here.

According to the rules, residents were not qualified to negotiate terms with the company, for their lives belonged to the company.

It was Xu Lin who had led the Combat Department to save them from despair.

Even their accommodations were only temporarily assigned.

Lin Mo's face also turned a bit pale, but the tone of his speech still maintained a basic calm.

"Since Director Zhang has personally assigned the task, we brothers will certainly do our best."

"But I cannot guarantee the outcome."

"Are you threatening me?"

Zhang Ye's tone remained as calm as ever.

But to others, it obviously did not sound like that.

Power and status were like an invisible halo, making every word spoken by those in higher positions seem fraught with implication.

Lin Mo's gaze dropped, and he silently lowered his head.

"I wouldn't dare."

"Just stating the facts."

"My life was given by the company, and I will naturally do my utmost to fulfill the company's demands."

Zhang Ye continued to stare at him for a while before breaking into a smirk.

"Honestly, I don't like people like you."

"But you're lucky."

"Pick anyone you want within the safe zone, just not more than twenty, and as for weapons and equipment, go negotiate with Old Zhou at the factory."
