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

Before they came, the two had some skepticism regarding Lin Mo's words.

However, after arriving at the legendary military factory, Liu Bing and Gao Feng's only target became one, the position of deputy squad leader.

Lin Mo had made it very clear.

In the entire Hunter Squad, only the squad leader and deputy squad leader had official positions.

Even the little devils who kept boasting about being company people were just nominal employees of the Combat Department.

Whether they could be promoted to permanent status depended on their future performance.

It's even less worth mentioning for the rest.

Their names weren't even listed yet.

After parking the car by the roadside, the people inside did not get out immediately.

They just sat quietly inside the car, waiting until they were sure no new enemies would pop up around them, before carefully jumping out one by one.

Aside from the "cage" truck that Lin Mo and Liu Bing were in, the rest were crammed into an off-road vehicle behind them.

Naturally, it was also modified.

Provided by the auto repair shop.

After seven or eight Hunters with shields disembarked, they quickly formed a circle around the truck, cleaning up all the zombies attracted by the sound.

During this time, there were several more instances of zombies turning their heads and running away.

But this had become normal for everyone.

The factory gates were tightly closed, and the chains above were quickly hacked through by a few Hunters with axes, followed by a loud clang as they pushed open the iron gates that might not have been opened for years.

Facing the entrance was a large area overgrown with wild grass and several abandoned lathes scattered on it.

"Squad leader, could we have gotten the wrong place?"

"This is too empty."

Liu Bing walked in front of Lin Mo.

As he spoke, he looked around but only saw a few skin-and-bones zombies.

Theoretically, the number of beggars and vagrants hidden in these abandoned factories should amount to at least a few hundred.

Could it be they were all hiding behind those buildings?

Just as he was thinking about whether to take this chance to prove himself, Lin Mo's voice, full of caution, suddenly rang in everyone's ears:

"Be careful."

"We're not here to clear the buildings."

However, clearly some people did not take his words seriously.

"Ha, squad leader, there are only a few zombies inside."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

The speaker was a young man in his twenties, named Wu Yi.

He eyed the few zombies wandering ahead, his face brimming with an eager expression, and at the same time, his feet were already stepping towards them.

After finally finding a group to join, the leader was replaced in just a few days?

And it just happened to be someone he had clashed with?

Wu Yi replayed the events of the previous day over and over in his mind, his urge to prove himself growing even stronger.

He had to seize this opportunity; otherwise, he feared he would not have good days ahead.

Sharing the same thought were two others.

All three were newcomers who had recently arrived in the safe zone and had had conflicts with Lin Mo and his party yesterday.

Their thoughts were surprisingly unanimous.

It was as if they had reached a prior agreement, simultaneously moving towards the direction of the few zombies.

The three had survived up to this point by having some courage.

With not only company-issued equipment but also more than ten fellow Hunters covering for them, how could they care about three or five zombies?

Under Wu Yi's lead, they quickly approached the vicinity of the few zombies.

"Uh... aaaah!"

Just as Wu Yi was about to make his move, the zombie on the outer edge suddenly noticed them and began to shriek, tilting its head back.

Several fast-moving figures suddenly appeared from within the tall grass.

Two zombies lunged straight for Wu Yi, but they were quickly knocked down by the shield he held in front of him, followed by a sweep of his crooked knife that chopped off the head of one of them.

Meanwhile, the two men slightly behind him also rushed forward quickly.

With Wu Yi's cover, they took down another zombie.

The remaining one turned and ran.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Come back!"

Liu Bing saw this and quickly planned to call them back, but the three in his line of sight had already given chase and soon disappeared behind those abandoned lathes.

Lin Mo had kept silent since entering the factory.

But now he seemed somewhat displeased.

"Lin Mo, are all your people this disobedient?" he asked.

"Get someone to call them back."

Gao Feng's face was equally grim.

Before Liu Bing had a chance to reply, she had already signaled her subordinates to head in the direction where the three had vanished.

Another four or five minutes passed quickly.

The courtyard was eerily quiet.

The surrounding grey buildings loomed like tombstones.

In this deathly still atmosphere, everyone began to realize that something seemed off.

The person who had chased after them had not yet returned.

Wu Yi and his three men were also nowhere to be seen.

Had something happened?

But there were no screams of pain to be heard around them.

To be precise, there was hardly any noise, aside from the occasional wind blowing through the yard.

From beginning to end, they had barely seen any zombies.

Except for the few earlier on.

Just as Lin Mo was about to lead a retreat, a faint rustling sound suddenly emerged but was quickly drowned out by the soft rustle of the wind.

"Captain! Quick, look over there!"

Xiaogui suddenly pointed to the right front of the group and yelled.

His expression was indescribably horrified.

In the grass, about half-man-tall, several dark figures were rapidly closing in.

They moved quickly, their slender and elongated bodies like swordfish cutting through the sea.

Panic quickly spread across everyone's faces.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat out the main gate!"

Lin Mo issued the retreat order without a second thought.

Laopao and Xiaogui, who were beside him, hurriedly raised their shields, covering him as they retreated toward the gate.

At the same time, cries for help had already erupted from somewhere else.

"Help me!"

"Hurry, it's going to bite me!"

A man was about to turn around when a dark figure that had pounced at him pinned him to the ground.

He didn't even have time to slash with his knife.

Grit, grit...

A grating scraping sound.

The dark figure bit directly into his chest, but instead of penetrating the flesh, its teeth were stopped by the armor the man wore on his chest.

Although the onlookers were panicked, they still maintained a basic level of rationality.

Seeing this, one of them immediately hacked at the dark figure's back.

"Woo woo—"

The dark figure reacted fast but was still cut in half by that strike, causing intense pain that made it leap down from the man's body.

Liu Bing didn't hesitate to pull out his revolver and fire!

Bang!

Its head, like a rotten pear, burst open!

The headless body fell to the ground instantly, but before the man on the ground could get up, another dark figure leaped out of the bushes and pounced on his belly.

"Aaahhh!"

"My belly, my belly!"

The man's agonized screams tightened everyone's scalp in an instant.

His belly was completely ripped open.

His blood-soaked innards, like the stuffing of a rag doll, were pulled out by the dark figure, which then started to feast right in front of everyone.

Liu Bing didn't hesitate and fired another shot!

Bang!
