Chapter 574 Unusual Changes Before the Operation
That day, after eating a large, sumptuous breakfast prepared by Chen Hai, Han Shuo and his two companions packed their gear and set off with high spirits.
The fat man hoisted the large axe on his shoulder, his face bearing the expression of a ruthless bandit, and shouted rudely.
"Damn it, we're finally going to take down these bastards! I've now joined the ranks of the masters, so get ready to face our wrath, hahahaha!"
Han Shuo glanced at him with an expression as if he were an idiot, and thought to himself, "This kid definitely didn't take his medicine this morning."
Then, his eyes returned to normal, he turned to Xiao Zhao and smiled, and said.
"Let's go find Brother Silver Hair."
"Okay, Brother Han."
...
A few minutes later, the three arrived at the open area in the center of the base.
The first thing that catches the eye is the 2,000 identical cyborg warriors standing still in place.
"Yo ho!"
The fat man shouted excitedly and ran over quickly.
"Wow, that's impressive! Silver Hair and the others really deployed this secret weapon. 2,000 of them! These are 2,000 beings with genes comparable to Level 1 evolved humans! How can the enemy withstand that?"
Han Shuo ignored him and looked around, but did not see the silver-haired and blond-haired figures.
"Strange, where did those two go?"
Just as he was thinking this, a voice suddenly sounded from the communicator next to his ear.
"Brother Han, come to the conference room for a moment, we need to discuss something urgent."
He had silver hair, and his tone was noticeably off; it lacked a relaxed feel and instead carried a hint of seriousness.
...
"Um?"
Han Shuo frowned slightly, but didn't think too much about it. He turned around and waved to the two people in front of him.
"Let's go. Brother Silver Hair is in the conference room and he's calling us over."
"good!"
A few minutes later, the three of them pushed open the door to the conference room.
As soon as Han Shuo entered, he saw the silver-haired and red-haired people discussing something, the purple-haired person operating the complicated communication device, and the blonde person sitting quietly and obediently in a chair.
Good heavens, all four siblings are here?
With a sense of curiosity, he stepped forward and asked.
"Silver-haired brother, what's wrong? Aren't we about to set off?"
"There's no rush yet."
The silver-haired man looked up and responded, then stood up and pulled Han Shuo and the other two to his side, saying something.
"Take a look at this first; there are some special circumstances."
"Oh? A special circumstance?"
The three of them were immediately intrigued and turned their attention to the few pages of papers on the table.
Han Shuo also saw that the radar instrument he had retrieved from the old man was also here, with red dots flashing constantly on all sides.
At this moment, the silver-haired man continued to explain.
"These red dots represent the current location of the Corpse-Clad Squad. They are moving, but the distance on the screen is reduced many times, so you can't see it with your naked eye right now."
After saying this, Xiao Zhao was filled with doubt and asked in confusion.
"Silver-haired brother, is there a problem? Corpse-wearing people are human too, shouldn't their normal activities be perfectly normal?"
"It's normal to have one or a few events, but!"
Silver hair gave a solemn look, pointed to the eight red dots on the radar instrument, and continued speaking.
"There should only be 8 squads of corpse-wearing men left outside, and they are all constantly moving!"
"Everything is moving?" Xiao Zhao exclaimed in surprise.
Han Shuo gradually became serious as well. This was indeed an abnormal phenomenon, but he did not speak and continued to wait for the silver-haired man's answer.
...
Then, the silver-haired man took out a few more pages of paper from the side.
An animated graph showing the historical positions of eight red dots was copied onto the paper.
He replaced the papers for the three of them to check while explaining.
"This one shows the enemy's location at 3 PM yesterday, this one shows their location at 9 PM last night... and this one shows their location this morning."
As the pages were turned one by one, Han Shuo and the other two could indeed see that the eight red dots on them were constantly moving.
The silver-haired man continued, "At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, since you can't tell much from a short distance of movement."
"However, this morning I discovered that this group of people had been marching all night and had covered more than 100 kilometers in one night."
After saying this, Han Shuo finally realized that something was wrong.
Traveling over 100 kilometers in one night doesn't sound like a particularly fast pace. However, it's important to remember that the Corpse-Wearing Man commands a massive horde of zombies.
In this situation, even if they have a means of transportation, they cannot move at full speed and must maintain a movement speed in sync with the zombie horde.
It can be said that they covered these 100-plus kilometers on foot.
"What urgent matter could be causing them to be in such a hurry?"
Just as Han Shuo was pondering, the silver-haired man's next few words completely brought him to his senses.
...
Silver Hair picked up a ruler and pen from the side and bent down to mark on the paper.
"When I started analyzing the direction of their route, I finally understood what they wanted to do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew a straight line extending forward from each of the eight red dots in all directions.
When the eight straight lines begin to intersect each other, the point in the very center is where all the lines converge.
Upon seeing this, Han Shuo and the other two widened their eyes instantly, while the silver-haired man's gaze sharpened, and he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the center point.
"Clang!"
"That's right, this is where we are right now. They've locked onto my base, and eight squads of corpse-wearing men are all heading this way!"
...
A brief silence fell over the room.
After what seemed like an eternity, the fat man finally spoke, his face filled with disbelief.
"Holy crap! Holy crap? We've been exposed?"
"Are they... going to surround and attack us?"
The silver-haired man nodded, his face darkening.
Han Shuo didn't say anything, his brain was spinning rapidly, constantly thinking.
He didn't know how the other side discovered them, nor did he know where his side had made mistakes that led to the exposure of their hidden location.
All he knew was that the current situation for everyone was not optimistic...
According to the information they brought back from the old man, there are about 15 small teams of corpse-wearing people who are active in the wild for a long time.
He felt that the reason why some of the groups suddenly disappeared might be that they were wiped out by the zombie king in the east, but the remaining eight groups on the radar instrument were also a force to be reckoned with.
Because each squad of zombie-wearers controls an average of 100,000 ordinary zombies.
Eight guns mean 800,000 zombies!
And these 800,000 zombies are preparing to besiege their base.
