Chapter 36 Rendezvous
"Captain, we are surrounded by zombies. There are zombies everywhere outside. If no one can lead them away, they will not disperse until night."
The situation was critical, and the Eagle Squad members temporarily hid in a messy restaurant.
They did not complete this mission smoothly.
Not only did they fail to reach the mission location, but they also lost a communications team member, and two teammates were injured by zombies, infected and transformed into zombies.
Edmund could only reluctantly deal with these two completely transformed teammates.
The most important situation now is that they have completely lost contact with the higher-ups.
This means that they have completely lost their command and it will be very difficult to continue according to the original plan. They can only rely on themselves to improvise.
Edmund is their captain and should make judgments for the actions of the entire team.
The situation was urgent, and the higher-ups had ordered them to rescue Li Sen from Northon Biotechnology Company and find out the core information about the virus infection.
This zombie outbreak was too sudden, and the R&D center laboratory of Northon Biotechnology Company was completely destroyed.
Many valuable paper records and experimental materials were not transferred out.
The military needs these things to research vaccines and avoid causing greater harm.
The Eagle Team's mission lasted only 48 hours, and 16 hours had already passed.
After they came down from the roof of the building, they were attacked by a large number of zombies when they landed on the ground. They lost one-third of their team members while fighting and fleeing, and could only hide in this small restaurant in a panic.
The restaurant's waiters were locked in the kitchen and they also turned into zombies.
Fortunately, they found two survivors, one was a local policeman and the other was a doctor, who helped them a lot.
The policeman was a tall black man. After checking the situation outside, he took the initiative to suggest: "I remember there is a small path outside the kitchen window. There are fewer zombies there. We can go through that way. But we need to deal with the zombies in the kitchen first."
After weighing the pros and cons, Edmund nodded and pointed to a team member, "Follow me."
Two minutes later, a burst of gunfire was heard from the kitchen. The zombies at the restaurant door became even more excited and violently slammed the glass door with their hands and bodies.
The glass door was shaking and seemed like it would fall down at any moment.
The team members guarding the gate used various tables to prop up the door, which was extremely strenuous, and the rest of the people rushed to help.
Shouted inside: "Captain, is it ok?"
After a moment, the gunfire stopped.
The captain's voice came from the kitchen: "Okay, let's go."
The moment they gave up guarding the door, the broken glass door collapsed immediately, and the surrounding glass windows and cabinets shattered as well. Soon, a large number of zombies poured in from various openings.
The team members and the police fought and retreated, closing the door to the kitchen, but they couldn't hold out for long.
Edmund had already led his men out through the window, and the people behind him followed closely. At the moment the last doctor jumped out of the window, the wooden door of the back kitchen was also broken by the zombies, and they rushed towards the window.
Gunshots rang out.
The team members dealt with the zombies that followed them out of the window.
Although new zombies were attracted, the narrow street was only wide enough for two people to pass through, and the zombies' movements were restricted.
Soon, they shook off the zombies behind them.
The sky gradually darkened, and Edmund's face darkened.
Zombies in the daytime are easier to deal with. They are more afraid of sunlight and will not walk around the streets casually.
Waiting until night is the best time for zombies to appear.
They will come out from their hiding places and roam the streets in groups, making them very difficult to deal with.
This means that they must rush to the research institute of Northon Biological Company before dark.

"There were gunshots? Did you hear them?"
After Hal regained his strength, the two began to hurry on their journey.
Su You used a drone and an offline map to find the best route with the fewest zombies.
Apart from encountering a few zombies, which they successfully dealt with, they encountered almost no danger and successfully arrived at a location two blocks away from Northon Biological Company.
"Gunshots?" Su You listened carefully and indeed heard faint gunshots.
"Is that your teammate?"
Hal was a little uncertain. "They are very familiar. There is a high probability that it is the captain and his men."
Su You glanced at the direction of the gunshot and said, "The gunshot is approaching the company. As long as we keep moving forward, we will definitely meet the shooter."
As she spoke, she raised her gun and fired a few shots behind Hal. The bullet instantly penetrated a zombie's head.
She looked up at the sky and said, "Zombies are starting to appear more and more here. From now on, we need to be more vigilant and speed up our journey."
She also saw from the footage taken by the drone that as the sky gradually darkened, zombies gradually began to gather around the road section where there were few zombies before.
When they don't encounter a living person, their movements and behaviors are relatively small and silent, like prey lurking in the shadows, and can easily be overlooked.
But once awakened, they reveal their true colors.
So the two of them not only had to speed up their journey, but also had to try their best to avoid being discovered by them.
After two blocks, the two finally saw the source of the gunfire. Hal saw the captain and his men and immediately greeted them, "Captain!"
After seeing Hal, the captain's eyes lit up, "Great, Hal, you're okay."
At the same time, he saw the strange man next to Hal, wearing a black helmet, knee pads and leg guards, dressed strangely and out of tune with ordinary people.
But it is definitely the best thing to wear to deal with zombies.
"Who is this?"
Hal quickly introduced: "This is Miss Su. She saved me and helped me get here. Miss Su is a good person. She is also here to find someone who can help us with the mission."
Edmund nodded, "Thank you for saving my team."
Su You nodded at them and said, "Let's go and go into the company to find something. The gunshots in this block have attracted a lot of zombies."
This caused dissatisfaction among the team members.
"Captain, our mission is confidential. How can we rely on an outsider? From the sound of her voice, she's a woman."
Under the helmet, Su You let out a light sigh, and he encountered someone who discriminated against him.
She had seen many people like this in her previous life and was not angered.
"It's okay. If you don't want to take me, I can find someone myself. After all, I was just trying to do a favor for a friend."
Hal immediately stopped her and said, "Captain, Miss Su is a very capable person. I promise that she will not only not hold us back, but will also provide us with great help. Miss Su also has a walkie-talkie and a radio that can help us contact headquarters."
Then he turned around and scolded the troublemaker: "Rayleigh, can't you see the situation? This is not the time for you to discriminate!"
The team member named Rayleigh was a troublemaker and had a bad relationship with Hal. His expression changed when he heard this. "Hal, what's your attitude? It's not your turn to speak here."
As he spoke, he gradually approached Hal with a fierce look on his face, looking like he was about to attack.
Edmund immediately stopped him and said seriously, "Rayleigh, what are you doing? Are you affecting the progress of the mission?"
