Chapter 269 Unraveling the Mystery
"Hmm... this swift zombie doesn't seem to have undergone secondary mutation."
Han Shuo looked at the corpse at his feet and muttered to himself.
Then, he picked up the head he had severed and threw it toward the fat man.
The fat guy loved doing things like scooping out turbid fluid...
Without further thought, Han Shuo put away his Tang sword, stepped on the front wheel of the truck, and reached out to open the door.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
At this moment, the young man in the car was still in shock. He nodded and said intermittently.
"No, I'm fine. Thank you, Captain Han."
"Alright, let's continue on our way!"
Han Shuo waved his hand, then jumped out of the car and turned to walk towards the front of the convoy.
"Brother Han, you're amazing!"
Cheng Shenghong gave him a thumbs up, and at that moment, the fat man also took out the turbid fluid.
The Swift Zombie's danger level is 2, and since it hasn't undergone a secondary mutation, the amount of turbid liquid it produces is the same as before, only two drops.
The fat man happily put the bottle of turbid liquid into his arms, and then climbed back onto Lao Wu's car.
Han Shuo glanced at him but didn't say anything more.
As for the spoils, we can divide them up when we get back to the underground research institute. It doesn't matter if the fat guy takes them for now.
...
"Alright, Brother Yao Nan, let's not waste any more time and continue on our way."
"Um."
After the brief incident, everyone quickly got back into their cars.
However, Cheng Shenghong felt that Han Shuo was even more capable than he had imagined.
Although he could also kill swift zombies without taking damage, he was far less efficient than Han Shuo.
And so, the group continued on their journey without any major incidents.
Around 1 p.m., they finally arrived at the location of the chemistry laboratory.
However, what Han Shuo didn't know was that about 5 kilometers behind them, a large jeep was following closely.
The yellow sand on the road was thick, and Wang Bahu and his men could easily track the vehicle by following the tire tracks on the ground.
All of this was part of Qin Hongling's plan; she was waiting for the most opportune moment.
Once the opportunity arises, she will decisively order Wang Bahu to take action, thereby wiping out Han Shuo and his group.
...
At this moment, Han Shuo looked out the car window at the chemistry laboratory ahead.
The convoy circled the chemistry lab and easily found the entrance gate.
"Xiao Zhao, let's park here for now. There are a lot of zombies over there, we need to go and clear them out."
"good!"
As the sound faded, the armored vehicle stopped not far from the entrance gate of the chemical laboratory.
The six trucks behind also stopped one after another.
Everyone instinctively grabbed their weapons and got out of the car.
"Boss, it's Captain Han!"
Fatty followed Lao Wu and stood next to Han Shuo first.
Han Shuo nodded without speaking. Only after everyone behind him had gathered around did he turn his gaze to Cheng Shenghong.
"Brother Demon Man, then I'll take full command."
Cheng Shenghong replied with a smile, "Brother Han, please. We will all follow your instructions."
Han Shuo stopped wasting time and began the pre-battle planning.
"I just roughly estimated that there are about 200 zombies around the chemistry lab. This number doesn't pose much of a threat to us."
"To be on the safe side, let's clear out all the zombies here first. That way, we'll be safer when loading the cargo onto the truck later."
At this point, Han Shuo paused, glanced around at everyone, and seeing that no one had any objections, spoke again.
"Alright, the usual rule: try to rely on melee weapons as much as possible. In critical moments, you can use guns."
Then, he looked at Cheng Shenghong.
“Brother Yao Nan, you lead your brothers to clear from the left, and I’ll lead Fatty and the others to clear from the right.”
"no problem!"
Cheng Shenghong responded readily.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo added another sentence.
"Old Wu and Little Zhao, you two have the best marksmanship, so you shouldn't participate in the cleanup mission."
"In a moment, the two of you will find a spot to climb to the roof, set up your guns, and be ready to provide support at any time."
"Yes, Brother Han!"
"Yes, Captain Han!"
The two nodded in response.
Since each team has a sniper, Han Shuo should make the most of his strengths.
With the two of them providing support from the rooftop, the brothers below will be safer.
After confirming that nothing had been overlooked, Han Shuo waved his hand and gave the order to proceed.
"Set off!"
Everyone quickly got to work, grabbing their swords, spears, clubs, and other cold weapons.
Han Shuo took the lead and quickly beheaded the first zombie.
The cleaning operation has officially begun!
This mission wasn't too difficult. They had 12 people and over 200 zombies. Each person only needed to kill about 20 zombies to clear them out.
Both teams consisted of seasoned veterans, and almost every member could kill an ordinary zombie with a single blow.
However, this chemical laboratory is quite large, and the zombies are scattered, so it will still take some time to completely eliminate them.
And so, as Han Shuo and his men got into the heat of the fight, Wang Bahu and his men arrived.
...
Because Han Shuo and his group were in the open, while Wang Bahu and his six men were in the shadows.
Therefore, Wang Bahu could clearly observe the situation ahead from a great distance using his binoculars.
After the six men got out of the car and hid the jeep, he led his men to lie down behind a ditch.
Because Han Shuo and his group had been driving forward, Wang Bahu still didn't know who the people in front of him were, but soon, this question was answered.
He held up his binoculars and glanced towards the chemistry lab.
"Huh? It's them?"
Wang Bahu was lurking on the right side of the chemistry lab, so he spotted Han Shuo hacking at zombies in the distance with just a glance.
He knew Han Shuo and others, after all, they had worked together before.
After confirming the other party's identity, Wang Bahu frowned and glanced thoughtfully at Qin Hongling.
The two had been together for over a year, and he already knew that Qin Hongling had a past conflict with Han Shuo and others.
"This is tricky. It's these kids. If it were anyone else, I would have killed them, but should I kill these people or not?"
He felt a pang of inner conflict, because these sensible boys had once given him turbid fluid.
Overall, Wang Bahu had a fairly good impression of Han Shuo and Fatty.
However, he soon stopped hesitating and made up his mind.
"Fine, if you little brats are smart enough to hand over the turbid liquid to me, I might spare your lives. But if you dare to resist, don't blame me for being impolite."
The moment Wang Bahu had such a thought in his mind, his attitude changed drastically the next second.
Because, through his binoculars, he saw Cheng Shenghong walking out from the other side of the wall!
His expression was incredibly ferocious, and his eyes seemed to burn with endless rage.
A mystery that had been in Wang Bahu's mind was instantly solved!
