On the other side, the three directors of Blackthorn Company finally came out from the kindergarten teaching building where they were hiding.
Although the sun was not very bright, the three unfortunate directors were still in a good mood as they could not see even a single zombie or mutant creature within their sight.
Five days! Five whole days! God knows how they spent these five days!
Not only did they eat all the wheat cakes they brought, but they also had to be under extreme pressure every day.
Their mental state has become so tense that they may collapse at any time. Looking at the zombies and mutant creatures wandering around outside, they hide in the collapsed teaching building and shiver, not knowing how long this kind of life will last!
If the zombie and mutant riots are not ended in time, they will have to risk their lives and try to break through before their own combat effectiveness is severely weakened, in order to fight for a chance of survival.
Unless absolutely necessary, no one would be willing to risk their life in this way!
The probability of success is really too small. Even if it succeeds in the end, someone will definitely die in the process of breaking out. It is basically a pipe dream for all three people to run back to the camp alive.
The most terrifying thing is that if they really died in the process of breaking out, it would be a completely meaningless death for them.
Their mission was clearly to find someone, but before they even saw the target person's face, they were beaten to death by zombies and mutant creatures. Isn't that too unfair?
Fortunately, the worst outcome did not happen!
As the time limit they had set for themselves to break out was getting closer, the rioting zombies and mutant creatures around them suddenly retreated like a tide!
Just after midnight last night, the disgusting figures that could be vaguely seen through the window gradually became sparse.
At first the three of them didn't realize what was happening.
But soon, when they discovered that it was indeed the densely packed zombies and mutant creatures on the streets that were retreating, the three of them immediately became ecstatic.
Finally waited for it!
Fortunately they didn’t give up!
The three of them were so excited that they didn't sleep all night.
They lay in front of the window of the house, watching the zombies and mutant creatures outside the window quickly disappear without a trace, and then waited until the sun rose during the day before the three of them came out from their hiding place.
Greedily breathing in the air around him, the burly director couldn't hide his joy and said, "Shall we go straight back to the company? Or should we try our luck before leaving?"
The handsome director couldn't help but hesitate.
Deep down, he wanted to return to the company immediately.
The past five days have been too torturous for them. He now urgently needs to return to a place where he can be absolutely safe and use drugs and women to release the stress accumulated during this period.
But if I really just ran back in disgrace, not only without any gains but without even meeting the person, that would be really unacceptable...
The three of them are directors of the company and are the most powerful people in the company after the chairman.
They enjoy support from the company on a daily basis, so when something requires their presence, they naturally have to be able to stand on their own two feet, help the chairman solve problems, and become the chairman's truly trusted right-hand men.
Otherwise, what is the point of the chairman supporting them?
If they cannot complete any random tasks assigned to them and the chairman has to take care of them personally, how can their value be reflected to the company?
Thinking of this, the handsome director instinctively looked at the most silent director.
The director who was accustomed to remaining silent obviously had similar concerns.
After glancing at his two companions, the director spoke, "I don't recommend returning to the company immediately. Although we've lost our food supply, the zombies and mutants have returned to normal and hidden in dark corners somewhere. The danger to us has effectively been resolved."
In this situation, if something unexpected happens, we can retreat with all our might and reach the company camp in no more than an hour and a half. So there's really no need to rush. At the very least... after being out for so many days, we should have some sort of accomplishment before we can return to face Big Brother, right?
If we don't gain anything, and just hide for five whole days because of a zombie and mutant riot, and then as soon as the riot ends, we immediately flee back to the company camp like a frightened dog, how will we explain it to Big Brother then?"
The handsome director breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "I agree. Let's at least expand our search area to see if we can find any clues. However, considering we've run out of food, I suggest we only search for one day. If we don't find anything by evening, we'll have to return to the company camp to restock before heading out again."
The burly director nodded and said, "I'll listen to you, as long as you two agree."
"Okay! Then the three of us will each mark an area. Don't stray too far away. If we find anything, we must notify each other immediately!"
After a brief discussion, the three directors immediately chose a direction and began the exploration with high morale.
Originally, they should have checked the bodies left behind by the previous team as soon as they arrived here.
Although the dead cannot speak, their bodies always leave some traces that can be used for analysis.
But what they didn't expect was that they had just arrived here and had no time to check the corpses before they encountered a riot of zombies and mutant creatures.
After hiding for five whole days before emerging, the corpses had already been eaten by the rioting zombies and mutant creatures, leaving not even a bone...
This caused the three of them to lose all clues at once. The only thing they could do was to try their luck and spread out to search for any abnormal traces.
They really hope to make some real discoveries, no matter what they are, at least so that they will not be speechless when facing their eldest brother after returning to the company camp!
I don’t know if God heard their pious calls.
After a whole morning of individual exploration, the three of them, who had no expectations and just wanted to try their best, actually found a clue!
"Look! This observation post is in a great location! It has a wide field of view! I originally wanted to come up and observe the surrounding area from a high vantage point, but I found an already established observation post here! Although the observation post looks very simple, it must have been built by humans!"
The burly director said to his two companions excitedly.
