Chapter 80 A Bad Premonition (First Update)

The news from the young man made everyone feel heavy-hearted. Captain Zhou was the first to come to his senses. He knew that this matter was serious. If it was true, he had to rush back to report to the higher-ups as soon as possible. However, the young man's words alone were not enough as evidence.

This young man gave him a very unreliable feeling, so Captain Zhou made a prompt decision and called out the speedsters in the team and asked them to go to the residential building the young man mentioned to see if it was real.

Speed ​​people have the advantage of speed. Even if they encounter a group of zombies, they have a great chance of escaping. They are very suitable to be used as scouts. There are a total of 8 speed ​​people in the team. After receiving the order, they first checked their weapon configurations, and after confirming that they were correct, they quickly ran towards the residential building mentioned by the young man.

The truck was too big a target, and there were many survivors on board. If what the young man said was true, the residential building was surrounded by thousands of zombies, and it would be too dangerous to drive over.

After these eight people left, Captain Zhou gave another order: "All the superpower users should absorb the crystal cores as quickly as possible and replenish their superpowers! Be prepared to fight at any time!"

After giving the order, he called the young man over and asked him about the specific situation of the residential building, such as how many survivors there were inside, whether there were any special abilities inside, why they did not go to the safe area outside the city, etc.

The young man answered very carefully, but he was not very clear about the specific situation. He only knew that there were many survivors living in the residential building, most of whom were residents who originally lived there. But he was not sure how many people there were. He had seen people with special abilities, but he was still not sure how many there were.

He just lied about why they didn't go to the safe zone. He told Captain Zhou that it was because they were too weak to reach the safe zone. But the reality was that they planned to save as much supplies as possible while they were still in the city so that they would have a guarantee for the future.

However, they didn't expect that a large group of zombies would appear on the third day of the apocalypse! If they hadn't gone out to look for supplies, they would have been in great danger!

Even so, they were still chased by zombies when they returned, and his companions were also caught and dragged away by zombies during this chase. Only he had the best luck, not only did he escape, but also met a military rescue team.

Even more fortunately, there is a wood-type mutant with healing abilities in the team!

The strength of Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin made the young man subconsciously want to join them. After Fang Yuyang refused, he remembered that there were still many people in the residential building whose lives were unknown, so he told Captain Zhou about it. He told this because he was worried about other survivors in the residential building, but he also had his own selfish motives.

He knew that a large gathering of zombies was definitely a problem, and he might have made a great contribution by sharing this news, which would also provide some protection when they reach the safe zone. In addition, he and his companions had collected a lot of supplies in the past three days and placed them where they lived. If the situation allowed, he planned to go back and take the supplies away.

Captain Zhou fell silent after asking, his face becoming increasingly ugly. He found out that the young man was completely clueless about the condition of the residential building, which made him disappointed and worried about whether the eight speedsters he sent out would get into trouble.

Seeing his grim expression, the young man hesitated for a moment, then spoke his guess: "Captain Zhou, I think something is wrong this time. Although I'm not sure how many people are in the residential building, there must not be too many people. How could they attract thousands of zombies? This is really weird! What's even weirder is that after my companions and I discovered this group of zombies, we hurriedly turned around and prepared to escape. There were only 8 of us in total, so we shouldn't have attracted so many zombies, but there were hundreds of zombies chasing us. It's too abnormal!"

Captain Zhou also felt something was wrong without him saying anything. If he hadn't suspected the reason for the zombies' gathering, why would he have risked sending out eight speedsters to investigate?

He could tell at a glance that the young man was showing off because he wanted to make a contribution. This made him have a worse impression of the young man. It would be fine if he could really come up with some ideas, but he didn't even have a decent guess and could only talk nonsense!

On the other side, Fang Yuxin also had an idea in her mind. She remembered that the large-scale gathering of zombies was usually because a leader appeared among them, and there were only two possibilities for the zombie leader: one was the appearance of a higher-level zombie, and the other was the appearance of a mental zombie.

It was only the third day of the apocalypse, and even if more advanced zombies appeared, they would only be level one zombies at best. Such zombies only had simple intelligence, similar to wild beasts. They would use some tricks in battle, but they were not enough to gather thousands of zombies.

Then, there is only one possibility left.

This leader is a psycho zombie!

The intelligence of the psychic zombies is higher than that of ordinary zombies. A level one psychic zombie is as cunning as a wolf. But even so, why did it surround an ordinary residential building? Could it be that this residential building is not ordinary? Or is there something it wants in this residential building?

Thinking of this possibility, Fang Yuxin couldn't sit still. Fang Yuyang, who was standing by, saw that she was in a bad mood, and asked in a low voice: "Xinxin, what's wrong with you?" Thinking of the dream Fang Yuxin had mentioned before, his face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice even more, "Did you think of something?"

Fang Yuxin nodded and was about to speak when she heard Captain Zhou ask, "Captain Fang, Miss Fang, do you have any guesses?"

Fang Yuyang instantly became alert and looked at Captain Zhou with caution. Captain Zhou immediately guessed that he had misunderstood something, so he walked over and said, "I saw that both of you looked unhappy and were talking in a low voice, so I guessed that you might know something, so I asked you."

Seeing his frank expression, Fang Yuyang realized that he had acted too deliberately just now. His expression changed slightly, with a bit of embarrassment. Fang Yuxin immediately said: "Captain Zhou, don't be surprised, my brother is just too cautious. I do have some guesses, but I'm not sure, so I want to discuss it with my brother first and ask him what he thinks."

Captain Zhou did not mind, but admired the Fang brothers and sisters' vigilant and rigorous attitude. He waved his hand to show that he did not mind, and then asked: "Ms. Fang, please tell me, what did you think of?"

Fang Yuxin simply said, "I just think it's too strange for so many zombies to gather together, so I wonder if there is a leader among the zombies? We have encountered a zombie with a speed mutation before, so are there other mutant zombies? Ordinary zombies have no intelligence, but mutant zombies know how to sneak attack, so they are obviously intelligent. If we compare them to wild beasts in nature, such as wolves, then will there be an 'alpha wolf' among them? If there is an 'alpha wolf' leading them, it won't be strange for so many zombies to gather together."

Captain Zhou had a bad feeling since he learned about the mutant zombies, but unlike Fang Yuxin, he had no experience of the end of the world and his thoughts were not as thorough as hers. Now, after hearing what she said, Captain Zhou suddenly felt that her guess might be true!

In this case, it is not surprising that the young man mentioned that hundreds of zombies came to chase them.

Captain Zhou was not the only one who heard these words. Many mercenaries and soldiers around him heard them. Like Captain Zhou, they all felt extremely heavy!

A zombie with a speed mutation is already enough of a headache. If a zombie leader appears, wouldn’t it be even more difficult for humans to survive?

Seeing that they all had heavy faces, and some even looked desperate, Fang Yuxin sighed silently in his heart.

What is a zombie leader? As zombies advance, there will be more and more such leaders! Not only that, animals and plants will also mutate, becoming brutal, bloodthirsty, and aggressive. Among the zombies transformed from animals, zombie rats and zombie birds are simply disasters that cannot be prevented!

Although she knew these things, she didn't dare to say them out loud. Otherwise, wouldn't all the survivors be even more desperate?

She thought for a while and said, "I don't think we need to be so desperate. Don't forget, when the zombies appeared, the psychics also appeared. Isn't this a case of God always has a way out? Since zombies can advance, then the psychics can definitely advance too! As long as we find the right way, we can also become stronger and stronger! Apart from other things, didn't we kill the zombie with a speed mutation?"

In fact, she killed the mutant zombie all by herself, but Fang Yuxin wanted to inspire the fighting spirit of these people and prevent them from continuing to despair, so she deliberately said "we".

Although everyone else understood this, her words played a significant role, especially the sentence "People with special abilities can advance", which made everyone full of hope!

Yes! Since zombies can advance, so can the superpowers! What is there to be afraid of?

Captain Zhou knew very well how serious the impact of low morale would be. When he saw that everyone's fighting spirit was mobilized by Fang Yuxin's words, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Miss Fang is right! Don't worry, we can definitely advance! Sooner or later, we will be able to eliminate all those disgusting zombies!"

Fang Yuyang also said: "That's right! As long as we become stronger and stronger, we will definitely be able to completely eliminate all the zombies!"

Fang Yuxin didn’t know if such a day would really come, but at this moment her heart was also full of hope!

Perhaps most of the zombies around had been moved away by the zombie leader. After they stayed there for a while, they only encountered a few sporadic zombies and did not encounter any more zombie groups.

Time passed by minute by minute, and half an hour after the eight speedsters left, they finally reappeared in everyone's sight! However, behind these eight people, there were hundreds of zombies!

I had diarrhea the night before yesterday, so I only wrote two chapters. I was going to write another chapter during the day yesterday, but I caught a cold. After taking medicine, I felt very sleepy, so I slept. I will continue to write three chapters from today. Please vote~
