Led by Captain Li, the group quickly arrived near the underground casino. Since the casino's entrance was open, there were many zombies surrounding it, roughly estimated to be at least three hundred.

Dealing with these zombies is simple, but avoiding attracting the attention of the surrounding zombies is difficult. For a moment, Captain Li was also having a bit of a headache.

While Captain Li was having a headache, Wang Bin quietly pulled Li Dazhu aside, while Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao stood by to shield the two of them.

"There are a lot of zombies on the left side of the street, and they are easy to be attracted to. You should suggest that Captain Li clear out the zombies there first, and then go and clear out the zombies at the entrance."

"Ah, I think it would be better if you went to say it; that way you can gain his trust."

“No, I’m new here. Even if I gain Captain Li’s trust, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the other volunteers. You’re different. You’re a veteran. If you step forward and win Captain Li’s trust, he will definitely assign you some volunteers, which will make things easier for us when we take action.”

"Okay, I understand!"

Li Dazhu was a smart man and understood immediately. After the two finished discussing, they returned to the crowd. After a while, Li Dazhu strode towards Captain Li.

"Captain Li, I have a suggestion."

"Oh, Dazhu, what suggestions do you have? Tell me about them."

"If we want to get in, we have to clear the zombies at the gate. However, if we clear the zombies at the gate, we'll easily attract the zombies on the left side of the street, and then we'll be surrounded. I suggest we clear the zombies on the left side of the street first. It will take a little longer, but it'll be safer that way."

"Haha, Dazhu, you're absolutely right! No wonder you were a scout! Let's go clear out the zombies on the left side of the street!"

Captain Li was very happy to hear Li Dazhu's words. He patted Li Dazhu's shoulder heavily a few times before leading his men to clear out the zombies on the left.

To gain Captain Li's favor, Li Dazhu put on a real show of skill when clearing out zombies. While others killed one zombie, he killed three. In an instant, he became the most dazzling person, and many people whispered their praises.

Seeing how fierce Li Dazhu was, Captain Li once again considered subduing him. Of course, if Li Dazhu refused, he would have no choice but to obey Boss Jin's orders and kill him.

By the time a safe zone was cleared, half an hour had passed, and everyone was a little tired.

"Everyone, take a break. Dazhu, come here!" After clearing out the zombies, Captain Li sat down on a rock with an air of authority and gave the order for everyone to rest.

Upon hearing the order to rest, everyone ignored how dirty the ground was and plopped down to rest.

Seeing Li Dazhu walk towards Captain Li, everyone cast envious glances their way, knowing that Li Dazhu was about to make it big.

"Dazhu, you're quite skilled!"

"It's alright!"

"You'll be assigned twenty men to command later!"

"Thank you, Captain Li!"

"Don't be shy, do a good job, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

"Okay, thank you!"

In order to lull Captain Li into a false sense of security and to gain more power, Li Dazhu pretended to be interested.

Upon hearing Li Dazhu's words, Captain Li smiled happily.

"Dazhu will be your leader from now on, so you all have to listen to him!" After resting for more than ten minutes, Captain Li called everyone up again and pointed to the volunteers in one direction.

Upon hearing Captain Li's words, the people on the other side nodded in understanding.

"Let's go clear out the zombies at the entrance. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go back for a drink!"

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing about drinking, everyone perked up and followed Captain Li toward the casino's main entrance.

The underground casino is located on the upper floors of a hotel, while the casino itself is on the second and third basement levels. The place they were going to was the third basement level.

With their worries gone, the zombies at the entrance were quickly cleared away, and the group went down to the basement level.

The basement level is a parking lot. Because the space is very large, it is full of zombies, at least one or two thousand.

It's unrealistic to expect to clear everything out, but clearing out the passageway on the second basement level shouldn't be a problem; it just will take some time and effort.

Everyone was a seasoned veteran and wouldn't risk their lives fighting zombies, so no one got hurt as they cleared the way.

After clearing the passage to the second basement level, Li Dazhu hurriedly went to Captain Li's side.

"Captain Li, I think we should leave some people at the main gate and here, in case the zombies come and block the road."

"Hmm, your suggestion is very good. Ah Chen, Ah Xing, you two take four people and guard the main gate upstairs. Don't let the zombies block us out!"

"Understood, Captain!"

"You few stay here and guard the entrance to the passage!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After assigning tasks, the group took torches and headed down to the second basement level. There were still five or six hundred zombies on the second basement level, though not as many as on the first.

It took the group a little more time to clear the passage to the third underground level again. This time, Captain Li assigned seven or eight people to guard the entrance to the passage.

Captain Li didn't name any of the guards Li Dazhu; instead, he selected some from his subordinates and volunteers. As a result, when everyone arrived at the third underground level, Captain Li only had fourteen men under his command.

It was still very difficult for Wang Bin and his three companions to deal with fourteen people, but it was a little easier than dealing with twenty-five people at once.
