"Does the Oasis owner like zombie movies? Tired of the commercial ones and planning to make his own documentaries?"
Zhang Xiaojuan was completely bewildered when she flipped from the chest of a female zombie at her feet onto a machine the size of a finger joint.
"Has my heroic performance just now been transmitted to the Oasis backstage?" He raised the machine and struck a cool pose.
"But how can they control so many zombies? Is it some kind of psychic ability?" Sun Tiantian wondered curiously. "Could there be psychic ability users inside the oasis?"
High-level psychic abilities can not only attack the mental realm of humans, but also even exert mind control over zombies.
Faced with the horde of zombies' suicide attack, everyone's first reaction was that there was a psychic nearby who was activating it.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly and rejected Sun Tiantian's idea. "Controlling zombies requires very strong mental strength. Even a fifth-level mental ability user can only control three to five at a time. It's not realistic to control such a large number of zombies at the same time."
Controlling zombies is more difficult than controlling humans. At the current level of human capability, it is impossible to control so many zombies at the same time.
The silly dog Rocket excitedly pawed at the ground, panting and running wildly around Lu Sheng's legs, sticking out its tongue and grinning obsequiously.
It's okay! No matter how many there are, it's fine! It can still eat them all!
With just one command from its human, it can easily carve a bloody path through the enemy's defenses! The Paw Patrol has done a great job!
While they were discussing this, a team from K3 had already dug out the crystal cores of over a hundred zombies.
Su Zheng had his men wash it clean, put it in a bag, and handed it to Lu Sheng.
“These zombies were all killed by rockets. We didn’t do much. These crystal cores should be yours.” Su Zheng said earnestly.
Lu Sheng glanced at the bulging bag and said truthfully, "I have plenty of crystal cores, you can take them back."
I just heard from Ma Dongmei that the K3 base has taken in a lot more refugees, and the entire base is running a deficit, with everyone from top to bottom tightening their belts.
She's quite wealthy when it comes to crystal cores, so she'll just leave them to the Oasis Group.
Su Zheng: "..."
An awkward toe dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on the ground.
"Sister Lu, you have a tiny bit of Versailles." Zhang Xiaojuan pouted.
As they were talking, Zhang Xiaojuan suddenly sniffed hard, like a puppy sniffing around, "Why does it smell so good? Did any of you put on perfume?"
The moment he spoke, everyone present tensed up instantly.
In the apocalypse, perfumes, being flashy but impractical, have almost no market.
On the one hand, people are struggling to even afford food, and apart from the wealthy, few are willing to spend money on things that are of no use for survival.
On the other hand, safety is paramount in the apocalypse, and the pungent smell of perfume can easily attract mutant beasts and zombies with a keen sense of smell, increasing the danger.
The three girls on Lu Sheng's side didn't have the habit of wearing perfume after the apocalypse. Most of the K3 team members were female soldiers or policewomen, so they paid even more attention to this.
Everyone followed the scent and searched for a long time before finally finding a fragrant bead emitting a faint fragrance in Lin Xiaobao's hair.
It's about the size of a soybean, with a texture similar to a vitamin E softgel, and a translucent yellow color. You can only smell the fragrance when you get close.
"Sister Bao, you're so meticulous! You should smell nice even when you're on a mission." The bespectacled young man removed the fragrance beads from Lin Xiaobao's long curly hair.
Lin Xiaobao's expression changed. "My skin is prone to allergies, and I never use perfumes, let alone these cheap fragrance beads."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Since Lin Xiaobao didn't bring this thing with him, it must have been attached to him after he joined the Oasis Group.
"What's the principle behind it? It smells so good." The bespectacled guy curiously pinched it with his fingernail.
As the gelatinous substance on the surface of the incense bead broke open, the faint fragrance suddenly became much stronger.
Among the mountain of zombies nearby, a corpse that wasn't quite dead yet suddenly tensed up upon smelling the aroma, and a mutilated arm stretched out from the mountain of corpses.
"This fragrance actually has a stimulating effect on zombies?" The bespectacled young man handed the incense beads to Su Zheng in surprise.
“Oasis Group has likely developed a zombie attractant.” Xu Yi’s sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Zombies have a more developed sense of smell than ordinary people. This group of zombies was most likely attracted by the scent of the zombie attractant, which is why they attacked us without regard for anything.”
Previously, it was only speculated that the Oasis Group intentionally allowed them to enter the park, but now, with the existence of the zombie attractant, it is a foregone conclusion that the Oasis Group deliberately lured them deeper into the park.
"Pack your things and continue the operation," Lu Sheng decisively ordered.
There's no turning back now that the arrow has been released. Since they've been targeted by the Oasis Group, this targeted attack won't be the only one.
The real owners of the Oasis Group must be in some dark room right now, monitoring their every move.
There are too many trees and weeds here, severely limiting visibility, and staying here indefinitely would be too dangerous.
They must find a relatively open space as soon as possible.
A strong sense of crisis gripped both teams. Even Zhang Xiaojuan and the bespectacled guy, who were usually quite goofy, stopped joking around and quickly packed their things to leave.
Now that they've been targeted, a fierce battle is inevitable.
To prevent a sudden attack from enemies lurking in the shadows, Lu Sheng divided everyone into several groups.
Zhang Xiaojuan and Ma Dongmei each possess unique abilities: one is capable of both offense and defense, while the other has a high degree of tolerance for mistakes. These two are responsible for leading the way.
Su Zheng could gain different attribute bonuses depending on the type of animal he was transformed into. Lu Sheng simply turned him into an eagle with excellent eyesight, who perched on Zhang Xiaojuan's shoulder to keep watch.
Sun Tiantian, Xiao Yu, and Lin Xiaobao, among others, worked together on both sides, while Xu Yi and Lu Sheng were responsible for the most dangerous rearguard action.
The remaining few who hadn't been assigned tasks each grabbed their weapons and filled in any gaps in the team.
Once the entire team was assembled, they immediately headed deeper into the woods.
Time was of the essence; they needed to find control of the oasis as soon as possible.
The temperature inside the woods was about five degrees higher than outside the oasis. After walking for more than twenty minutes with great tension, the group finally saw a spacious pavilion.
"Shall we take a break?" Ma Dongmei glanced at her team, then turned to Lu Sheng in a low voice, "Everyone's almost at their limit, how about a five-minute rest?"
To ensure the safety of the operation, everyone at K3 Base carried a pack weighing about 20 kilograms. After more than two hours of continuous high-intensity movement, many people were already panting heavily.
It's too hot, and the body loses water too quickly, so it's essential to replenish fluids promptly.
Lu Sheng glanced at the few female team members at the back of the group who were grimacing from exhaustion, and nodded silently.
The pavilion is hidden under a huge banyan tree, so it receives very little natural light.
