Chapter 498 – The Shadow in the Grass

However, while Ling Mo was patiently waiting for the takeover, a group of uninvited guests quietly approached the Air Force regiment base while sniffing the air...

At this moment, the sky’s color had gradually dimmed, and the work of cleaning the battlefield inside the Air Force regiment base was slowly coming to an end.

“Hey, did you notice that there aren’t many that died...?”

Somewhere in the airport, a man suddenly grabbed his companion, lowered, and said mysteriously, “Many of them are just injured or knocked out...”

“Fuck off, isn’t being injured worse? We’ll have to gather and observe them to see if they mutate.”

The man squinted at him and said, “Once these people mutate, they’ll be killed immediately by the soldiers guarding them. In my opinion, it’s just the difference between dying early and dying later.”

Although both of them were also members of the Air Force regiment, they were the only two in charge of logistics.

They were usually responsible for maintaining the infrastructure, growing crops, cleaning, cooking, washing clothes for the soldiers and officers...

It was a huge base, and all kinds of chores required someone to do them.

And not all of the survivors that joined the Air Force regiment were capable of fighting.

The disabled, elderly, women, and children were all put in the logistics team. They were responsible for maintaining the daily operations of the Air Force regiment.

For this enormous machine to work, it was inseparable from these logistical tasks.

The cleaning of the battlefield now was also part of their job.

Although their task was to clean up the battlefield, they were also responsible for sending the wounded in and cleaning up the blood.

Most importantly, they also had to fix the broken gaps on the wired fence.

After a full day of battle, the security tonight was more vigilant than ever.

No one knows where these zombies came from, and no one knew how those zombies who sneaked into the building got in.

But this can easily be summed up in a few words: I don’t get it, but it was impressive.[1]

This description was fitting for the unclear zombie race. They’re always in the process of evolution, and everything they do is unusual.

Moreover, although the disturbance was severe this time, the casualties weren’t high.

Especially for people like them in the logistics team, they were completely unaffected.

Therefore, although the two of them had pale faces, they didn’t display much horror. At least they had the strength to gossip.

“You’re right...” The man shivered at once and then asked a puzzling question, “But weren’t all the injuries caused by iron pipes? Can they still be infected?”

“No matter what, they need to be isolated first. Isn’t this the rule?”

The man said impatiently and shook half of his left arm, “When I first arrived here, they left me in a small room and locked me inside for two hours. Fuck!”

“Oh, that’s right, did you hear? All the people with at least the captain rank died...” the man lowered his voice and said.

The man snorted coldly and said, “They usually look down on everyone. I’m glad they’re all dead! They do nothing all day except bullying other people. Weren’t they trying to kill an ordinary person these past few days? They really are bullies. Aren’t they ashamed...”

“SHH! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!”

The man quickly glanced around and said, “We finished the basic cleaning and repaired the places that needed repairs. Let’s go...”

The two men talked as they walked, and their voices moved further and further away.

Hua~Hua~

A figure suddenly emerged from a bunch of weeds.

Those sharp eyes stared at the backs of the two men for a while, then turned around and beckoned.

Afterward, two figures came out, one after another, standing in the open space around the airport.

The first of the two figures was a short man that wore a red coat with black-rimmed glasses and was skinny like a monkey. He didn’t seem to have a scholarly aura around him, but he did give off an uninteresting feeling.

He squinted his eyes, glanced left and right, and said, “I’m right, he’s around here.”

“That man came to the Air Force regiment? Did he get caught? Then, doesn’t this mean we came here for nothing?”

The person that beckoned them had a tall figure, and when the two of them stood together, the contrast between them seemed pretty funny.

“No, he’s not over there.” The “monkey” pointed his finger at the buildings in the middle of the airport, then he turned and looked at the wilderness, “He’s inside.”

“He really came here...”

“Should I say he’s bold or stupid...”

The three of them just arrived and missed a good show.

Although they felt the situation in the Air Force regiment was a bit strange, they had no idea what happened. The two logistics personnel were pretty far away from them, and their voices were also very low, so they didn’t hear anything.

But soon, their attention shifted to things more important to them.

“Isn’t this better for us? We can kill them at a critical moment right before they launch a surprise attack on the Air Force regiment. This credit...hehe.”

“Monkey” pushed up his glasses, smiled for a moment, and said, “We can also hand in this credit quickly since we’re nearby. By the way, where’s Captain Liu?”

As soon as he asked this question, the woman standing at the back laughed twice, turned around, separated the bushes, and brought out a guy who was as tired as a dead dog.

“Brother Zhen....”

Smoke was almost coming out from Liu Bao Dong’s throat. Running all the way had reduced his physical strength to its limits. “This is...”

His eyes had a hint of expectation, but before he could speak, he heard Zhen Zhi Yuan say, “Captain Liu, we can go back together to the Air Force regiment after we kill those people.”

“Uh...” Liu Bao Dong struggled to stand up and nodded.

Liu Bao Dong could also understand the reason for them doing this. It’s just that following these lunatics was very tiring.

Seeing the Air Force regiment in front of him, he still couldn’t go back for the time being.

He wasn’t afraid that these three psychics from the FIRE group wouldn’t let him go back, and even if they did, he wouldn’t want to. He wouldn’t dare go back without completing his task...

“What about the rest of the people in your FIRE group...”

As soon as Liu Bao Dong started speaking, Zhen Zhi Yuan interrupted him, “They are short-sighted. No matter how good a wolf pack is, they can’t show their strength without a wolf king. Working together is simply meaningless. When we complete this mission, the wolf king will naturally be born once we obtain the rewards from the Air Force regiment.”

Speaking up to this, Zhen Zhi Yuan revealed a sneer, which made his grotesquely shaped face look even more unsightly.

Especially when he held his glasses with confidence, pretending to be an intellectual...

The woman also nodded and said, “Even if it is in games, the resources and prestige obtained by individual players that formed a group will never be as good as a guild. Our group is so small. We’ll never really be able to become a big organization.”

“Hei Mao [2] is right, haha.” The man named Dong Fang Long smiled, “The food that we can collect now is decreasing. If we don’t show off our strength, how will people know about our power? The Falcons can grow their own, but if we want to exchange food with them, we have to be able to offer them something. What’s the point of being together, just to live... However, I’m not interested in power.”

His eyes gleamed as he said this, “You said that group of people are amazing, but I want to see just how amazing they are. I have fought against all of FIRE’s psychics, and I haven’t met anyone that can beat me.”

“Why the fuck would you use a game analogy for this? And why is your motivation so fucking twisted? The one most normal is actually the guy with a wretched appearance!”

Liu Bao Dong was starting to have a headache. These undisciplined idiots were much more dangerous than the ordinary members of the Air Force regiment.

Although they each had different goals, the views of the three people were the same.

“Ling Mo is in this area?”

He turned his head and glanced at the wilderness behind him, then involuntarily took two steps back.

Seeing Zhen Zhi Yuan nodding his head, Liu Bao Dong said, “I’ve repeatedly warned you guys that this group of people are really strong. You guys need to be careful.”

Just thinking about ambushing Ling Mo caused Liu Bao Dong to shiver.

“What are you trying to say?” Hei Mao stared at Liu Bao Dong and asked. Although Hei Mao was a good name, she was a woman with a cold heart.

“No...nothing..”

With Zhen Zhi Yuan’s perception ability, they dived into the wilderness again.
