It was 2:45 PM.
Zhang Hao then led Fang Ping and Wu Yanfeng, carrying umbrellas, to the opposite side.
Of course, they also brought some supplies, the purpose of which was obviously to lure awakened individuals.
The other level-two team members weren't brought along not because they were afraid of holding the team back, but because they were left behind to look after the supermarket's supplies and to prevent the zombies from breaking down the door.
We went into the residential building.
Arriving on the third floor, I knocked on the door and entered.
The other party pried open the wall between the two houses, making them much more spacious.
All twelve Awakened squads were present; not a single one was absent.
This was beyond Zhang Hao's expectations. Weren't they afraid of being double-crossed?
A quick glance revealed the reason: some members simply couldn't hold on any longer; the zombies had reduced the team to only two or three members.
Some were hungry, having not eaten for several days.
Killing zombies can make you stronger, but you can't live without food.
So they came here to see if they could exchange it for some food.
When Zhang Hao and his group came in, the others' eyes lit up when they saw the travel bags on their backs.
Although only three people came, Jiang Cheng had already informed them beforehand that the group from the supermarket was the strongest among them, so they shouldn't even think about stealing supplies.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Jiang Cheng walked over and said warmly, "This must be Zhang Hao, Boss Zhang, right? Haha! Young and promising! My name is Jiang Cheng, I'm thirty-two years old. If you don't mind, you can just call me Brother Jiang."
Seeing how enthusiastic Jiang Cheng, the initiator, was.
Those who don't receive this treatment are a little envious.
However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Hao said something indifferently.
"Sorry, I don't like it."
These words immediately created an awkward atmosphere.
Jiang Cheng was a little embarrassed, but he held back: "It's okay, don't call me if you don't want to. Sit wherever you like, make yourself at home, don't be shy."
Zhang Hao calmly sat down.
Fang Ping, standing behind him, felt a little annoyed; this guy was too pretentious.
He even made the boss call him Brother Jiang?
They are all prominent figures, all Level 3 Awakened, but none of them are as handsome or have the same charisma as the boss.
Why should I call you "Big Brother"?
Isn't this lowering one's status?
This guy pulls this stunt the moment he sees the boss, simply because he's worried they're too powerful to control the situation.
Trying to intimidate people with their age, they come in with a show of force.
Zhang Hao isn't the kind of person who'll indulge you easily.
Jiang Cheng, who was at the front, didn't seem to care and said with great emotion, "Everyone, the reason I called you here is not only because the black rain has been going on and on, but also because you have all noticed that the zombies have evolved again under the catalysis of this black rain. Level 2 zombies are certainly terrifying, but they are not so invincible."
"What's scary is that the black rain will weaken everyone's physical condition, and the zombies will become frenzied and difficult to deal with at night. I don't know if the black rain will stop, or when it will stop, but we should prepare for the worst."
"According to my subordinate Xiao Wu's summary, there were originally twenty-seven squads in the vicinity, but now it has been reduced to the twelve squads present here. In less than six days, we have already suffered heavy losses."
"We have to face reality and we have to unite. We don't have any grand goals, we just want to survive. So I hope to build an alliance, a big family where we can help each other, that's all."
Some team captains were unhappy: "Then whose orders should the league listen to?"
“You don’t need to listen to anyone. Just manage your own team and listen to the leader’s orders in times of crisis. This is not for personal gain, but to unite everyone,” Jiang Cheng explained.
"..."
Zhang Hao was too lazy to waste any more time.
He stood up and said contemptuously, "To put it bluntly, you want to be the alliance leader, don't you? Regardless of whether you're qualified or not, just now you said you'd listen to the alliance leader when there's danger. What if that danger is to solve your own problem? If others are in danger and no one goes to their aid, would you, as the alliance leader, go?"
"And if you say there's danger, then there's danger. What if this danger is a trap you deliberately set to double-cross? Then, after the other teams are all dead, you can claim they died in a zombie ambush. Anyway, there's no way to prove it, so who would know?"
"Without any system in place, they still want to put on a show? What's the point of going to such a disorganized organization? Isn't that just asking for trouble? Do they really think we're all idiots?"
Jiang Cheng was furious: "You! You're slandering me! You started making things difficult for me the moment I walked in. I was only trying to help everyone. What did I do wrong? You're the one who's judging me by your own petty standards!"
"Is that so? Since it's all for everyone's sake, then let me be the leader of the alliance." Zhang Hao sneered.
"Impossible! You don't understand zombies at all. The speed at which zombies evolve is unimaginable. Some zombies even have superpowers, and some even have intelligence that surpasses that of humans!"
Jiang Cheng said arrogantly, "What can you, Zhang Hao, do to fight against zombies of this level? Only I can lead everyone to the future, only I have this ability!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao smiled.
He was about to say something...
Suddenly, a series of roars came from outside the door.
Bang!
The gate was forcibly broken open, and five level-three zombies blocked the exit, their blood-red mouths wide open.
It was muttering under its breath that it wanted to devour all the humans, leaving everyone present dumbfounded and utterly horrified.
"Holy crap! What the hell?!"
"A level three zombie? And it's talking?!"
"Have zombies really evolved intelligence? Jiang Cheng wasn't lying to us. How could we possibly kill a zombie of this level?"
