Chapter 538 A Night of Trembling
The three of them were incredibly excited to see the blond hair again.
Han Shuo quickly ran forward, placed his hands on the blond man's shoulders, and asked.
"Blonde hair, you escaped? Where's silver hair? Why isn't he with you?"
The blonde man had many scars on his body and looked very tired.
She clenched her two small fists, her eyes slightly red, and explained to the three of them.
"Second Brother has been captured by the Corpse-Clad Men!"
"At that time, the two of us fought our way through the horde of zombies for several kilometers without seeing the end of the horde."
"At the last moment, my second brother didn't want to be a burden to me anymore, so we ran away separately, and in the end, I was the only one who escaped."
"I knew you would come, so I waited for you here in advance."
...
Han Shuo's eyes revealed a serious expression as he spoke.
"Golden-haired guy, don't worry, we will definitely be able to rescue Silver-haired Brother."
The blond man nodded without saying anything more, and walked to the side to bandage his wound.
Although she doesn't feel pain, allowing these energy fluids to flow out will still affect her bodily functions.
At this moment, she seemed like a little adult, no longer laughing and joking as usual, but instead gazing into the distance with a blank expression.
Being arrested with silver hair and constantly facing the risk of death was a huge blow to her.
...
After resting for a moment, the four continued to cautiously explore the forest.
The oasis was vast, and they did not leave the forest when night had completely fallen.
However, there is good news: there are no zombies or ghouls in the forest.
After all, this was the lair of the Corpse-Clad Organization, and all the surrounding dangers had already been dealt with by the old man's men.
...
Han Shuo looked up at the dark night sky and decided not to go any further.
"Alright, let's rest here tonight. Everyone, get some rest. I feel that old man's base isn't far from here. We must be in top condition tomorrow."
"good!"
The fat man responded and took out some food from his backpack to share with everyone.
At night, the temperature plummeted, but even so, they dared not light a fire.
For safety reasons, Han Shuo and the other two climbed a tree to sleep that day, which also served as a simple way to stay hidden.
The blond man didn't say much for a while, following behind the three with a gloomy expression.
She doesn't need to sleep; she stays up alone at the top of the tree at night to keep watch for everyone.
...
"Shh, shh, shh..."
In the forest, when the cold wind blows, you can often hear the leaves rustling.
Han Shuo was in a daze and never fell into a deep sleep.
It was unclear what time it was at night, but the blond man suddenly jumped quietly onto the branch of the tree where he was sleeping.
"Wake up! Something's wrong!"
As soon as the voice fell, Han Shuo opened his eyes instantly. Just as he was about to ask a question, the blond man extended a finger and made a shushing gesture.
"Shh~"
Then she turned and pointed into the distance.
...
Han Shuo sat up, leaning against the tree trunk, and looked in the direction of the blond fingers.
In the dense forest, the faint glow of electric batons could be seen in the distance, and if you listened carefully, you could also hear a very faint footstep.
In the next instant, he was wide awake, turned over, and quickly woke up Fatty and Xiao Zhao.
"Let's go! We might have been discovered. Evacuate immediately!"
The four reacted quickly, grabbed their luggage, jumped down from the tree, and ran rapidly towards the other side of the forest.
...
After running for more than half an hour, the four of them found another relatively secluded spot in the jungle.
Here, the weeds were at least two meters tall. Han Shuo looked around at the surroundings and spoke, slightly out of breath.
"The old man must have guessed we were coming, and he has already sent his men to search this forest in advance."
The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked in a low voice.
"Were we just discovered? How did they find us in such a large forest?"
Han Shuo frowned, thought for a moment, and then replied.
"I don't know either. Maybe the old man had some means to detect us, or maybe we were just unlucky and happened to be patrolling the spot we were in."
"Sigh~ It's so hard, I can't even sleep soundly." The fat man slumped his head and replied listlessly.
...
"Um……"
Han Shuo glanced at the night sky, and seeing that it was still early, he spoke.
"How about this, everyone take another rest? These weeds will perfectly conceal our figures."
"I refuse to believe they can still find us like this. Blonde, I'll leave the night watch to you."
The blond man nodded without saying a word.
Then, drowsiness overwhelmed the three of them again, and they lay down and fell asleep among the weeds.
...
However, the three of them hadn't even slept for half an hour when the blond-haired guy woke them up again.
The reason is the same as before: another squad of corpse-wearing men has discovered this place, and this time, they seem to be forming a pincer movement.
While fleeing, Han Shuo and his three companions stumbled upon a horde of corpses that had been brought in from the west.
A fierce battle was inevitable, but fortunately, the terrain in the forest was complex, and the number of corpses in that horde was not endless.
They fought fiercely for a while, tore open a gap, and managed to escape.
However, after this incident, all four of them felt as if they were haunted by a ghost.
No matter how far they fled in this forest or what corner they hid in, the horde of corpses led by the Corpse-Clad Man could always find them in a very short time.
That night was truly exhausting for them, as they spent it trying to break through the encirclement and escape, and the three of them barely slept a wink.
...
As the sun rose slowly from the east, the warm rays of dawn shone into the forest, and the night of trepidation finally came to an end.
Early in the morning, Han Shuo, sporting dark circles under his eyes, led everyone to escape to a nearby open space.
Looking at the tired eyes of Fatty and Xiao Zhao, he knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die any longer.
"No, we can't stay passive like this!"
"They seem to have incredibly precise detection equipment; they can find us no matter where we hide."
"If this stalemate continues, the situation will only be disadvantageous to us. If we don't figure this out, we might be worn down by them before we even reach the base in the center of the oasis."
Xiao Zhao, standing next to him, pulled out his sniper rifle and nodded.
"Yes, we must find out how they are investigating us. We've been exposed to their sight the whole time, and we haven't had a chance to save Silver Hair Brother."
The fat man rolled up his sleeves, striking a pose as if he were about to fight.
"Damn it, these bastards don't let us sleep well at night. If we don't fight them, do they think we're pushovers?"
Han Shuo glanced at the Tang sword at his waist, a fierce glint in his eyes, and said coldly.
"We begin our counterattack!"
