However, there is a hidden danger in doing this: the location is not far from the safe zone.

The sound will attract nearby zombies to this area, potentially leading to a larger zombie horde later.

In addition, the presence of living beings in the safe zone is too obvious. With the distance getting closer, it won't be long before the base's safe zone is attacked by a zombie horde.

This is one of the reasons why Lu Jin'an had insisted on not letting his team members use weapons.

Just as Li Xin'er had expected, Lu Jin'an and his group, aided by their weapons, managed to blast a hole and break through.

The first thing the Dragon Flame Squad did after retreating to the safe zone was not to report the crystal core situation to Lu Chen, but to go directly to Qi Hongshen, the head of the base, and tell him about the nearby zombie horde.

"We were surrounded by zombies on Mingcheng Road. We had to use our weapons when we retreated, which made quite a commotion."

As soon as Lu Jin'an finished speaking, Qi Hongshen frowned, his head throbbing with worry.

Approximately how many?

He's already overwhelmed with work, and then during the meeting they said it was going to snow heavily. He's at his wit's end!

Lu Jin'an already had a general idea in mind, and her answer was crisp and clear.

"It's around two or three thousand, and the number is still increasing, so it's hard to estimate exactly."

Qi Hongshen felt slightly better upon hearing that the number could still be controlled, and even nodded.

"Okay, I understand. I will arrange to strengthen the perimeter deployment as soon as possible, while also increasing the number of personnel in the cleanup teams."

"If you need any help, feel free to contact me anytime."

Originally, the base did not have the authority to dispatch Lu Jin'an and his Dragon Flame Squad, but Lu Jin'an felt that their squad had caused trouble today and felt a little guilty. They would definitely help without hesitation if they could.

Hearing this, Qi Hongshen felt much better and laughed heartily.

"Okay, if something really happens, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
