Chapter 478 Assassination Operation
Not long after, Han Shuo returned to the vicinity of the small villa.
He hid behind a large tree, took out his binoculars, and carefully observed what lay ahead.
A moment later, he put away the binoculars and nodded in satisfaction.
Just as he had thought, this group of corpse-covered men were moving with a purpose. Because they were not stationed in one place for a long time, there were no surveillance or reconnaissance facilities set up near the mansion.
That would make things much easier.
According to the information he learned from the silver-haired man, the characteristic of the Corpse-Wearers is that they only rely on nanotechnology to control ordinary zombies; their own combat strength is actually no different from that of ordinary people.
Five ordinary humans, I could easily kill them!
However, the horde of zombies ahead was quite troublesome, as the small villa was surrounded and protected by these zombies in layers.
To kill these five corpse-wearing men, we must first find a way to deal with the zombies.
As for guns, they were naturally unusable. After evolving to level 5, Han Shuo's marksmanship was incredibly accurate. His aim when using a rifle was almost as good as Xiao Zhao's.
Unfortunately, no matter how accurate his marksmanship was, he couldn't kill five people with a single shot.
Using a gun would only kill one person at a time. Once the remaining four corpse-wearing men reacted, they would likely launch another rocket at him. Han Shuo wouldn't risk his life.
Moreover, as he thought of this, he touched his back and realized that his rifle hadn't had a chance to be taken off the vehicle and had been destroyed in the explosion.
At this moment, he was unarmed; his backpack contained only food, some ammunition, and biological grenades...
...
After much deliberation, Han Shuo finally decided to approach the villa in person. If he could reach the villa, the rest would be much simpler.
But how can you get around so many zombies? You can't possibly kill them all.
He looked around, trying to find another way.
Without realizing it, Han Shuo looked up at his own upper left and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a plan!
Then, with a smile playing on his lips, he quietly retreated, preparing for the assassination plot...
...
When Han Shuo returned, he was dragging back the corpse of a zombie.
Next, he was very patient and crouched in place for more than two hours before officially starting his operation when night had completely fallen.
Tonight, the sky is overcast, dark clouds obscure the moonlight, and the entire earth appears utterly dark...
Under the cover of darkness, Han Shuo quietly drew the dagger from his waist, not minding the dirt, and slowly dissected the zombie corpse beside him.
He then smeared the filthy flesh and blood evenly on his clothes, thus masking the scent of a living person on his body and confusing the sense of smell of the zombies in front of him.
A few minutes later, the preliminary work was completed, and Han Shuo had become a bloody mess, emitting a foul stench from his entire body.
He paid no attention to any of this, picked up the Tang sword from the ground and slung it around his waist, then took out his binoculars and observed the location of the Western-style building for a while.
After the firelight inside disappeared, the five corpse-wearing men finished their dinner and went to sleep before getting up from where they stood.
...
At this moment, the area around the Western-style building became completely quiet. Han Shuo glanced expressionlessly at the horde of zombies in front of him, then turned and walked to the side.
Despite smearing himself with zombie blood and flesh, he still did not choose to walk directly into the pile of corpses.
After all, this method only concealed some of the living scent on his body, rather than making it completely disappear. If he passed close to a horde of zombies, there was still a possibility that the zombies could smell him.
He had better ways to get close to the villa; there was no need for him to take such a risk...
Soon, Han Shuo arrived next to a telephone pole.
He noticed during the day that the high-voltage line on the utility pole happened to extend directly above the small villa.
These high-voltage power lines are generally about 78 millimeters in diameter. They are very sturdy and can easily support the weight of a person. Han Shuo planned to use this method to approach the small villa.
Without further ado, let's get to work!
In just a few seconds, he nimbly climbed to the top of the utility pole.
The high-voltage lines were naturally out of power. In this post-apocalyptic environment, if they still had power, Han Shuo would be truly out of his league.
He clung tightly to the top with both his hands and feet, hanging upside down, and slowly crawled forward, making no sound whatsoever.
Along the way, he carefully climbed over several utility poles supporting the high-voltage lines, and soon reached the top of the zombie horde.
As expected, the two remained a distance apart. The zombie flesh and blood smeared on his body perfectly masked his original body odor, and the zombies below did not react in any way.
...
"It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon!"
Han Shuo turned his head and glanced down, inwardly cheering himself on.
Before he knew it, another two minutes had passed. Persistence pays off, and he finally climbed up the high-voltage line to the top of the small villa.
"Phew~"
Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo's eyes narrowed, and without any hesitation, he released the high-voltage wire and fell straight down to the rooftop below.
While still in the air, he drew his Tang sword. The high-voltage line was about 10 meters above the roof. He knew that at that height, no matter how careful he was, it would still make a lot of noise.
The moment he lands, he must launch his attack!
...
At the same time, the five corpse-wearing men who were sleeping soundly on the top floor were suddenly awakened from their sleep.
"tread!"
The moment Han Shuo landed, he intentionally lowered his voice, but it still reached their ears clearly through the walls.
Inside the room, one of the middle-aged men was very alert. Upon hearing the strange noise, he sat up abruptly from the bed.
"who!"
However, the moment the word left his lips, the sound of shattering glass rang out.
"Crack!"
After the sound, the man saw a dark figure slip in from outside. Before he could react, a sharp Tang sword slashed across his neck.
The man's eyes widened, as if he hadn't felt any pain before his consciousness plunged into endless darkness.
...
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Han Shuo raised his knife and struck, finishing off one person before slashing three more times, sending three heads crashing to the ground once more.
It took him less than two seconds to kill the four people closest to him. Just as he had predicted, things became incredibly simple once he got close enough to them.
The next second, ignoring the four corpses beside him, he rushed straight toward the last corpse-covered man who had just been sleeping in the corner.
The corpse-clad man was a little further away from him and didn't die immediately from his Tang sword.
However, just as Han Shuo swung the knife in his hand at the man, a communicator next to him suddenly rang.
He frowned, a hint of interest appearing on his face.
