Chapter 254 Danger
That midnight, Chief Steward Wang left the underground research institute alone.
He packed his belongings, rode a motorcycle, and headed towards the zombie city.
A lone figure on a motorcycle quickly disappeared into the distance, shrouded in darkness...
Manager Wang was only wearing goggles, letting the yellow sand blow freely against his bald head.
The night breeze was a little cool, but it had no effect on his strong physique.
Steward Wang's gaze was deep; he knew that of all the missions he had received in the past two years, this one was the most difficult.
But it was also the most important one!
No matter how dangerous the mission may be, he will do his best to complete it.
Because this is the duty he has always upheld in his heart!
Without further thought, Manager Wang shifted his grip on the handlebars, increasing the motorcycle's speed again, and then sped away, kicking up dust.
"lonely……"
...
Several hours passed quickly, and by then, dawn was breaking.
Manager Wang also arrived at his destination. Looking at the city before him, he murmured to himself.
Is this the city?
After turning off the motorcycle and leaving it in place, Manager Wang got off the vehicle and ignored the several zombies that came running from afar after hearing the noise.
His eyes narrowed, and he quickly set off, running straight into the city.
At this time, there weren't too many zombies on the streets. Manager Wang didn't stop and didn't waste too much time, continuing to venture deeper into the city.
These ordinary zombies were no match for him; after just a few intersections, he had completely left them behind.
And so, without realizing it, he arrived at the intersection where Han Shuo and the others had been standing.
From the dust on the wall, Manager Wang could clearly see that someone had leaned against it.
Not daring to be careless in the slightest, he peeked around the corner to take a look.
His gaze shifted, and he saw the scene that Han Shuo had witnessed that day.
"Zombie King, so you really are here?"
He silently muttered something to himself and quietly backed away.
After determining the approximate safe distance, Manager Wang surveyed the surrounding terrain.
He then set off again, sneaking into a tall building and climbing to the rooftop.
From here, he could clearly see what was happening below.
"As expected, it is a legion of death. The number of mutants is much greater than I imagined."
He didn't pay much attention to the ordinary zombies below; for him, the task at hand was to count the number of the alien species here.
Manager Wang felt that if they were just ordinary zombies, the underground research institute could definitely hold them off.
These variant species are the most uncontrollable factors at that time.
He had by this time roughly determined some of the zombie king's abilities.
Ordinary zombies can be produced in any number you want, but the number of mutants will not change much in a short period of time.
If all the alien species here are properly counted, then the director can make corresponding arrangements in advance based on the information he brings back.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
The reason why Steward Wang took such a huge risk to come here was precisely because he understood this principle.
...
And so he kept moving his position, going up to the rooftop of a nearby building again and again.
One, ten, twenty...
With his extraordinary eyesight and exceptional computing power, he memorized every alien species he saw within his field of vision.
Without exaggeration, at this moment, his efficiency in exploring on his own was comparable to that of a team of dozens of people.
Two hours later, when it was already broad daylight, Manager Wang moved to the next building.
As usual, he climbed to the rooftop.
"Phew—, judging by the area, we should have explored most of it by now. There are really a lot of alien species here."
Having maintained his concentration for so long, coupled with constantly moving between floors, Manager Wang was slightly out of breath and a bit tired.
Before he knew it, his bald head was covered in sweat. Although everything was going well so far, he dared not let his guard down for a moment.
After searching for so long, he still hadn't found any trace of the zombie king.
However, this was good news for him. He knew that if he found the Zombie King, it meant that the Zombie King might also find him.
However, what Manager Wang didn't know was that the building he was climbing was directly facing the house where the Zombie King was!
...
At this moment, the Zombie King was still sitting in that dilapidated chair, gazing through the glass at the death army he had assembled outside the window.
Suddenly, his pure white eyes turned and he looked straight up at the rooftop of the building in front of him.
He seemed to have discovered something!
Meanwhile, Manager Wang lay on the rooftop, cautiously peering down below.
Sudden!
"Bang!"
A loud bang came from afar!
Steward Wang's pupils contracted as he saw the door of an inconspicuous house below instantly shatter!
Then, a scarlet figure rushed out from inside!
"Oh no! We've been discovered!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Manager Wang instantly climbed up from the rooftop, turned around, and ran to the other side of the rooftop as fast as he could.
Then, he stepped out and fell straight down.
Keep in mind, this is dozens of stories high. Falling from such a height would absolutely result in being smashed to pieces.
Manager Wang was naturally prepared. After a few seconds of freefall, he quickly adjusted his position in the air.
He faced the sky and pressed his hand against his waist.
Whoosh!
A claw device popped out from his waist and went straight for the wall above.
"Clang!"
As expected, the iron claw remained firmly wedged in the wall, and the stretching of the iron chain in the middle gave Steward Wang some time to recover.
Once the iron chain was pulled to its limit, the muscles in his shoulders bulged instantly, preparing for the impact.
"Bang!"
At a height of five meters above the ground, Manager Wang was slammed into the wall by the inertia of the swinging iron chain.
Although he felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, he was also able to remain suspended in the air as a result.
Despite the pain, Steward Wang used his right hand to forcefully remove the iron armor device from his waist in an instant.
Then, he landed safely on the ground.
After landing, he didn't dare to linger for a moment and quickly fled towards the outskirts of the city.
...
On the other side, the Zombie King also began his pursuit, and he soon arrived at the spot where Steward Wang had just landed.
Looking at the iron chains above and the cracks in the wall, he let out a soft exclamation.
"Huh? Your reaction time is pretty quick, and your skills are quite good too. Looks like an old acquaintance."
"Who could it be?"
The next second, the Zombie King set off again, quickly chasing after the direction that Steward Wang had gone.
A slight smile played on his lips as he muttered to himself.
"A cat-and-mouse game, huh? Interesting, very interesting..."
