Chapter 332 Cleanup (Part 5)

The two spiritual entities intercepted the special zombie.

Everyone tacitly refrained from attacking, instead observing its every move.

Unlike other zombies that are covered in blood, this zombie has relatively intact limbs, bluish-black skin, and a slightly open mouth revealing a set of sharp teeth with some bloodstains remaining on them.

Yun Zhao made his move at this moment.

These unusual zombies are closer to mutants in form, except they lack the black slime and black mist around their bodies.

It doesn't look that disgusting.

The little bluebird glanced at it lazily, without reacting.

The surrounding greenish-blue fluorescence, following Yun Zhao's movements, rapidly converged into a galaxy that headed towards the zombie.

The moment the spiritual thread entered the body.

A chaotic and disordered dark emotion surged forth, unleashing a violent force that seemed intent on tearing everything apart.

She felt a lot like the two mutated sentinels she had treated back then.

The goalkeeper is a truly contradictory figure.

It wanted to tell them information on one hand, and on the other hand, it wanted to keep them in the contaminated area forever, as if it couldn't control its instinctive malice.

Yun Zhao turned to Xie Tu and asked, "Could it be a Sentinel mutant? It looks very similar to me."

Xie Tu hummed in agreement, his gaze towards the monster growing deep. "The gatekeeper is deceiving us with a slow evolution."

"It's fine for now, but we need to speed up the cleanup."

The so-called evolution at present is still within the range that the Sentinels can handle.

The weak electric current cannot harm the sentinels for the time being; as long as the zombies are still in their flesh and blood, bullets remain deadly weapons.

However, given the current rate of evolution, the longer the process drags on, the stronger the zombies will become, making the subsequent cleanup increasingly difficult.

Yun Zhao seemed to be deep in thought.

Xie Tu had already raised his hand and shot it dead.

*

The battle lasted until nightfall.

Fewer and fewer zombies were rushing in, but there were still a few monsters scattered around, drawn in from relatively far away by the movement of the monsters.

During this period, all sorts of strange evolved zombies also appeared.

By a rough estimate, only the lightning-type zombie and the wind-type zombie behind it could reach the speed of a level two mutant.

With the Sentinel's superhuman senses.

The rabbit released the King Chameleon, which easily tracked the movements of the wind-type zombie.

She set up her sniper rifle, tilted her head to aim, and shot him dead across the smoke-filled intersection.

The supplies behind them filled truck after truck.

These vehicles were found on the nearby streets. It didn't matter if they couldn't be driven; the streets were very close to the suspension bridge, and as long as they could be loaded with supplies, they could be hauled back.

The sky was getting dark.

A group of middle-aged men huddled inside the shop, hearing the noise outside subside and the gunfire become less frequent and more intermittent.

Each person, carrying a bulging backpack, gradually gathered on the street.

More than twenty people stood at the back, looking at each other, nudging each other.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and mustered up the courage to speak up, "It's getting dark, officers, shouldn't we go back?"

The man who had spoken lowered his head guiltily.

He seemed to sense something was wrong and couldn't help but explain, "The supplies are all packed. It's too late. The zombies will evolve at night, and it's dangerous for us to stay here any longer."

Xie Tu lowered his head, casually changing the magazine. Upon hearing this, he looked up and gave them a half-smile.

"That's right."

With that, Xie Tu turned and called to his team members, "Fall back!"

"receive!"

Scattered zombies still darted out in the distance.

The entire Zero Team disregarded everything, putting away their guns and jumping out of the car. Qi Ling even kindly told Jing Yao and the others, "Let's go."

The group of people didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

But then several zombies rushed to the defensive line, ramming the pile of wrecked cars with a loud crash.

Xie Tu bent down and picked up the black handbag on the ground, gesturing for Jing Yao and the others to return the guns.

Six veterans, drenched in sweat and looking completely exhausted, leaned against the back of the car. When they saw the zombies charging at them, they instinctively raised their guns.

"Never mind, we'll leave in five minutes."

Xie Tu turned his head and said calmly to the crowd, "The supplies will be transported by you twenty-four people. You have five minutes to leave. If the supplies are lost, you will pay with your lives."

A chilling silence fell over the crowd.

Some people were the first to react, turning around and rushing to find a supply truck that could be driven.

These vehicles loaded with supplies were randomly selected from the street; the keys were almost all in the ignition, some were still drivable, and others were too damaged to start.

If you choose a damaged car, you definitely can't outrun the zombies while towing it!

A group of people quickly grabbed any drivable car.

Most people secretly hid their supplies. Faced with the instinctive guilt of the Zero Team members, not a single person asked why there were only five minutes, nor did anyone doubt the truthfulness of Xie Tu's words.

Superhumans kill zombies so easily.

If they dare to abandon the supplies, guns might really be pointed at them.

Dong Hui was a beat slow, cursed under his breath, and quickly called his accomplices to rush forward. He rudely pushed aside the two people in front of him and plopped down on the electric tricycle.

The two men whose car had been stolen dared not speak out in anger, nor did they have time to argue with them; they hurriedly went to find other supply vehicles.

The scene suddenly became somewhat chaotic.

Duan Xi reached out and nudged Song Liang. "See? I told you the captain was petty and held grudges."

They had plenty of time to retreat, yet they insisted on leaving a few zombies behind to scare people.

Song Liang glared at Duan Xi speechlessly.

Since everyone knows the captain holds a grudge, how dare they openly cricket in front of him? They've been punished so many times and they still don't learn their lesson.

Xie Tu glanced at Duan Xi but didn't say anything. He picked up the black bag and said to Yun Zhao, "Let's go."

Five minutes have passed.

There's no need to stay put and wait for these people.

Yun Zhao was whispering to the little bluebird when he heard this, and he jogged to catch up with him.

The little bluebird flapped its wings and flew toward the lion that was intercepting the zombies behind it.

It stomped on the lion's head as if it were disgusted.

You're dirty!

Lion: [...]

Little Blue Bird: [Let's go find the bag.]

It's going to throw away all the supplies those people have hidden!

The brown bear and the king chameleon didn't leave either.

The spirits gathered together, whispering and plotting to do something bad.

The members of Team Zero were the first to leave.

Jingyao and the others recovered and quickly followed.

The survivors, still pushing the cart, saw that the superhumans were actually disregarding everything and planning to leave first. The group of people were so frightened that they used all their strength to push the cart forward.

Yun Zhao glanced at them indifferently, then looked up at the man beside him and asked, "How's things going with Fire Phoenix?"

Dongyi Town is actually not far from the sea, about a kilometer away as the crow flies.

However, coastal cities have very long coastlines, and Fire Phoenix's primary destination is the beach on the opposite side of Peach Blossom Island, which is about seven kilometers away.

Standing here, with buildings blocking the view, the enormous figure of the Fire Phoenix is ​​completely invisible.

Xie Tu led her away from the zombie corpses on the ground and said, "Everything is going well."
