“Come on, you can do it…”

Puff—

When Xiao Bai finally squeezed in half of its enormous body, it suddenly paused.

Then it stretched out its paw and waved desperately twice towards Ling Mo, “MeiGrr… (I’m stuck…)”

“Hmm…” Ling Mo turned his head, ignoring the idiot beast and the idiot zombie that was behind it, and walked towards the other end of the alley. “We should make our move now since everything is ready. As for our helpers…. they should also be coming soon.”

“MEIGRR?!”

“Hey, Sausage Human! Don’t go yet! Sister Ye Lian… Sisters, I’m being crushed here… Hey, can you guys see me?”

……

From an outsider’s perspective, the incident this time didn’t seem to have much of an impact on the Air Force regiment.

Behind the tall walls of wire, everything looked the same as usual.

On the watchtower, several black muzzles pointed at the wilderness outside.

Gunshots could be heard from time to time and the zombies that had suddenly burst out from the wilderness could be seen falling to the ground as they approached the wire.

In addition to the watchtower, there were many security checkpoints placed around.

A small airport like this wasn’t easy to guard, but there was still an advantage. It was l

ocated in the suburbs, far away from the city, and there weren’t any densely populated residential areas around.

Although there were constantly zombies appearing nearby, it wasn’t enough to cause any enormous threat.

Plus, helicopters are dispatched from time to time to investigate the situation nearby. Even if it was a zombie horde approaching or a large group of survivors, they would be discovered in advance.

As for the small number of people that did come here… They either came to seek refuge or came to wander around nearby.

Those that dared to provoke them have not yet appeared.

“Do you want a cigarette?”

A man carrying a gun walked to a checkpoint not far from the entrance and patted the soldier who was aiming his gun at the road ahead.

The soldier looked back at the man, and when he saw the half of the cigarette in his hand, he was immediately happy, “Of course I want it!”

He couldn’t wait to take it and immediately took a deep puff, “Where did you get this one?”

“People from the ninth team. These past two days, they’ve been asking if there were any updates regarding the situation with the helicopter. As you may know, the people in the search team won’t bother answering them. Because of what happened to Captain Li, their search team has become unlucky and is often scolded by the boss…”

Seeing that the soldier wanted to suck more, Xing Yao quickly snatched it back with a

smile and said, “So those people from the ninth team, as long as they find a guard going to the bathroom or something, they will take the time to come up and ask quietly. It’s not a lie to say they’re rich. All their cigarettes are of good quality. The smoke that comes out is good stuff.”

“No wonder you’ve been going to the toilet so much these past two days. I thought something was wrong with your bladder or something…”

The soldier laughed teasingly.

“Fuck you! You’re the one with the bladder problems. My little brother is completely healthy, just a bit lonely…”

Xing Yao suddenly stretched out and patted the soldier. He lowered his voice and said, “I heard from the search team that the ninth team is in deep shit this time. It was originally a free contribution mission but as a result, two teams were destroyed in succession, and even the captain went missing. There was also the helicopter that got shot down in X-City, the boss almost went crazy…”

“Hey… Then that Captain Li is probably dead… Whatever, we aren’t the ones that are going to get scolded anyways. However, the boss did say that he won’t be casually recruiting people during this time.”

Taking advantage of Xing Yao’s unpreparedness, the soldier snatched the cigarette butt back, and said with emotion, “And here I was, hoping for survivors to come so that I could accept some bribes… I totally forgot what wine smells like.”

“You’re already lucky to be alive! Besides, didn’t you just join two months ago? You already know how to get along with people so quickly…”

Before Xing Yao could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He quickly pulled up the submachine gun and aimed it at the road ahead.

As a “veteran”, his reaction was obviously much faster than this soldier.

“What’s wrong?”

The soldier threw away his cigarette butt and grabbed his gun, “Is it a zombie?”

“I don’t know…”

Xing Yao squinted his eyes and stared at the empty road.

There seemed to be a figure swaying under a street sign in the wilderness.

A situation like this where they notice an issue only after it got so close was relatively rare, so Xing Yao and the soldier seemed a little nervous.

Ordinary zombies weren’t a problem for them, but advanced zombies or mutant beasts were a different story…

Those numerous repair marks on the iron wires were all caused by those monsters.

Each time one or two appeared, it was enough for them to fight for a long time, and it wasn’t uncommon for them to see casualties.

Xing Yao glanced at the iron wires in front of him. He could vaguely see traces of cracks and many places that looked black.

But it wasn’t rust, it was blood that couldn’t be washed away.

This soldier’s predecessor had been suddenly dragged over by a high-level zombie amidst the screams and was regarded as an unfortunate person to block bullets.

After being shot by his companions, he was directly torn to pieces by the zombies in front of everyone.

The impact of that scene was too strong, and Xing Yao still has lingering fears just thinking about it.

Rustling*

The tall grass swayed again, and Xing Yao’s body suddenly became tense.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the grass, and then a figure that seemed to be covered in blood fell out and into the ground.

“What is that!?”

It wasn’t easy to shoot from this angle, and when both Xing Yao and the soldier had fully prepared themselves, the figure suddenly raised his hand and waved.

Then, a hoarse voice came over, “Don’t… don’t shoot…”

“Huh…. It’s a person?”

The soldier slowly lowered his muzzle and said questioningly.

But Xing Yao kept his gun up, frowning as he stared at the figure.

This person…. Why does he look so familiar?

………

A few minutes later, Xing Yao stood side by side with this figure.

He stretched out his hand to help support him, enduring the bloody smell and other strange smells emanating from this person.

This guy was seriously injured. Although his injuries weren’t fatal, he would need a long time to recuperate.

Most of his weight was on Xing Yao at this time, causing Xing Yao, who was trying hard to move him, to complain deep down.

He really wanted to just kick the guy away… But on the other hand, he was secretly happy that he could pick up some contribution.

Fortunately, this guy didn’t jump out directly, otherwise, he would probably have gotten shot…

“Surprisingly, the captain is still alive…”

Xing Yao looked at him from the corner of his eye and muttered in his heart.

Li Hao, the captain of the ninth team, is one of the survivors who joined the Air Force Regiment after the apocalypse and currently has the highest ranking among them.

But who would have thought that a failure from one mission would completely plunge him into the abyss?

The search team only had a tenth of a percent hope for his survival and didn’t spend much time looking for him.

Unexpectedly, this guy, who was considered dead by most people, actually crawled back on his own.

But just by looking at the large and small wounds on his body, his dirty appearance, his pale complexion, and his chapped lips, he knew that he was struggling from death.

Xing Yao didn’t dare to delay. He knew that for the senior officers of the Air Force Regiment, although this guy was a sinner, he also had a lot of value.

“Over here…”

After helping Li Hao into the hall, a group of people walked towards him.

The leader was a middle-aged man. When he saw Li Hao, he showed a very contemptuous smile, “Oh, isn’t this Captain Li? You really have the nerve to come bac

k?! Seeing that you were so arrogant at the meeting, I’m guessing you never thought a day like this would come, right?”

As he said this, he looked Li Hao up and down. He saw that Li Hao seemed to be unable to stand still, and sneered, “What’s wrong? You don’t even have the strength to speak?”

Li Hao slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of swollen eyes.

Seeing Li Hao staring at himself without speaking, the middle-aged man snorted uncomfortably, “Stop pretending!”

“….”

Li Hao still didn’t speak….

The middle-aged man seemed to have lost interest in this loser. He gave him a stern look and said, “Just you wait, there will be a time where you will have to speak!”

As he said this, he waved at Xing Yao, “Bring him in.” After he finished speaking, he frowned and added, “Don’t let him die.”
