Chapter 580 The Empty City Stratagem
"Strange, these bio-engineered humans wouldn't be so foolish as to give up resisting, would they?"
The captain of Team 3 looked at the base ahead, frowned, and muttered something under his breath.
His words just now were obviously just a casual remark, a joke. He was well aware of the consequences of underestimating the enemy.
Everything is so abnormal, which means that an ambush has definitely been set up here!
...
Thinking himself very clever, he didn't rashly approach the base ahead.
He took out the device from his pocket again, made sure the signal source was inside, and then controlled the zombie horde to scatter in all directions in the valley.
He did this to check if the other side had laid any ambushes around the valley, such as landmines, bombs, etc.
However, as the zombies ventured deeper into the valley, the scenario the team leader had envisioned still did not materialize.
No landmines were detonated in this land; it remained as silent as ever…
"What's going on? There weren't any landmines planted?"
This time, he was completely dumbfounded, having no idea what those cyborgs were up to.
The captain of Team 3 felt a growing anger rising within him as he repeatedly wasted time on this pointless behavior.
He looked menacing and strode forward, pulling out a pistol from his waist as he reached the front of the gate.
"Smack!"
A bullet struck the gate squarely, but the gate was not only bulletproof but also extremely sturdy. The bullet only left a white mark on it before falling to the ground.
"snort!"
The team leader of Team 3 was still not giving up. He took out several more grenades from his pocket, pulled the pins, and threw them over.
"Pound, pound, pound, pound..."
Grenades exploded one after another, and after the dust settled, the gate remained unmoved, as solid as a fortress.
Now, the captain of Team 3 was in a dilemma, because he was the only one scouting ahead, so he had no more powerful weapons besides grenades.
The zombies he controlled were of no use at this time.
He surveyed the base and, after confirming there was no risk, he immediately called out into the communicator without hesitation.
"Fifth Brother, bring your men over here quickly, and remember to bring heavy weapons!"
As soon as the voice fell, a worried response came through the communicator.
"Team 3, what's wrong? Is there danger inside?"
"No, those cyborgs are hiding inside the base. The base has an extremely high level of defense, and I can't break through it by force at the moment."
"Okay, okay, I'll be there soon!"
...
Meanwhile, the five team leaders, who were anxiously waiting outside, immediately began to assign people to make preparations.
After the large weapons arrived, he led all three teams and they rushed into the tunnel.
Not long after, the two sides reunited, and the corpse-covered people quickly surrounded the captain of Team 3, asking him questions with concern.
"Team 3, are you alright? Were you attacked?"
"We were all really worried for you."
...
The team leader of Team 3 smiled, gave a few brief replies, and then pointed to the gate of the base ahead, issuing orders directly.
"Alright, let's break down the gate first!"
At that moment, he suddenly remembered a military treatise he had once read, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
He believed that the reason these cyborgs hadn't resisted was to pretend they weren't in the base, thus creating a ruse to lure them away.
However, he is an extremely persistent person and will not be easily deceived. He will not leave this place easily until he has completely broken open this door and found out the truth.
Next, cannons were placed one after another in front of the base gate.
"Fire!"
At his command, shells were fired in rapid succession.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Smoke filled the valley, and the ground beneath our feet trembled more and more violently.
Under the bombardment of artillery shells, the base's gates gradually developed crisscrossing cracks!
...
Little did they know that while these corpse-wearing men were violently attacking the base, Han Shuo and the silver-haired group had already withdrawn from there.
At this moment, they were on a mountain peak 10 kilometers away, occupying the highest point and carefully observing this scene in the distance with high-powered binoculars.
From the moment the corpse-covered men began surrounding the mountain to the moment they set up cannons to bombard the gates of their base, every scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.
They really pulled off an empty city stratagem on the enemy...
Even now, those people covered in corpses haven't considered this possibility.
Because they had a blind confidence in nanotechnology, firmly believing that the intelligence fed back from the signal source would not be wrong, and were certain that the silver-haired group was holed up in this base.
...
"My god, these guys are so stupid! After all this time, haven't they noticed anything wrong? They're still stubbornly doing useless work?"
The fat man stood behind a large rock on the mountaintop, put down his high-powered binoculars, and turned to speak.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The silver-haired man laughed and casually replied, "They will definitely notice anything unusual, since we haven't shown up to resist. But... I remember there was a saying in your country, what was it again?"
"Uh... I won't give up until I hit rock bottom."
Han Shuo smiled and chimed in, a relaxed expression on his face, because everything was going according to their plan.
At this moment, the fat man asked again, "Huh? Are they really that stupid? Don't they realize that we've already left the base?"
After he finished speaking, Han Shuo stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and continued speaking.
Even if they could understand this, they still wouldn't leave easily. Do you know why?
"Huh? Why, Brother Han?" Before the fat man could speak, Xiao Zhao asked in confusion.
Han Shuo explained patiently with a smile.
"Because that's the human mind."
"As the saying goes, since we're already here, how can we let it go without finding out the truth?"
"For example, if you were on a mission and you reached the enemy's base, only to find the gates locked and the place completely quiet, would you just leave? You'll understand the answer if you put yourself in their shoes."
Xiao Zhao suddenly realized what was going on, said no more, and nodded seriously.
...
After chatting for a few minutes, Han Shuo picked up his high-powered binoculars again and looked into the valley.
Then, he turned to the silver-haired man and spoke.
"Brother Silver Hair, isn't it about time? Three groups of Corpse-Clad Men have already entered the valley."
"I think it's time to officially begin the attack!"
