Zhuang Mian didn't have time to think about it. He squinted his eyes and counted carefully. He found that all the team members were there. Only then did he feel relieved.
After spending some time together, she found that these young and energetic team members liked them very much, and she had even met some of them several times in the college.
When Zhuang Mian walked down the city wall, the gate below had already opened little by little.
The residents of the outer city wanted to charge forward, but when they saw dozens of black gun muzzles and several people with unfriendly faces and holding strange weapons, they gave up the idea.
Everyone lined up in turn, and after their saliva, eye color, and heart rate were checked, they were allowed into the city one by one.
Although such inspections were slow, they gave these people hope of seeking refuge in the city.
In addition, there seemed to be no obvious changes in the rear, so the original dissatisfaction of the crowd disappeared while they were waiting in line.
Zhuang Mian gathered his team and took the initiative to join the team responsible for the inspection.
Ji Yongxing took out Zhou Zhuo's ID card and successfully broke away from the main group and rushed towards the research institute.
As for El and Li Rui, they served as volunteers at the city gate as Zhuang Mian's informants.
After all, the identities of the two people without formal jobs and academic qualifications cannot withstand scrutiny, and they don’t want to go to an empty place and wait in vain, so they can only do what they can to demonstrate their value.
Amidst the endless chores, El continued to deepen his sense of using his abilities in his mind, trying to break through that invisible barrier.
As for (one-armed) Knife Brother Li Rui, he felt very lucky. After all, recovery does not mean no pain. Having finally escaped from the sea of suffering, he worked with a sense of repaying a favor.

Southern wall of the outer city, Fresnel team.
The battle lasted on and off for nearly an hour.
The strange beasts seemed to be a little smarter than before, and now they even learned a few tricks of feint attack.
Many strange beasts attacked the top of the city wall with a fearless look, attracted most of the firepower and then began to retreat.
At the same time, another group of strange beasts quietly climbed up the city wall a few hundred meters away.
Fortunately, the observer who was watching the surveillance camera closely in the rear was very alert and issued a warning on the radio as soon as he discovered the problem.
At this moment, Wang Xiao's body was covered in his own blood and the blood of the strange beast. His whole body turned reddish-brown, like a messenger from hell.
The previous special training has brought Wang Xiao into a better combat condition now.
He began to learn to conserve his energy and recovery during battles, rather than relying on his own abilities to carry on.
The basic combat strategy of Fresnel's team was not significantly different from before. The five of them cooperated very well and cleared out the strange beasts that climbed onto the city walls many times.
After repelling another wave of attacks, everyone who was about to take a breath suddenly heard their names on the battlefield broadcast.
"Team 25, gather at the city defense officer immediately after hearing the broadcast."
The notification rang three times in a row, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
The situation was urgent, and everyone rushed over quickly. At the gathering place, they met the city defense officer with a gloomy face.
"Excuse me, is there anything urgent?"
Fresnel's tone was not as gentle as usual, and he did not understand the purpose of this order at all.
Every second that the well-coordinated team of super-powered people leaves the front line may result in unnecessary casualties.
The others had similar expressions, and none of them looked very friendly.
But at this moment, the city defense officer no longer had the awe he usually had towards the super-powered people.
He directly handed General Wencheng's order in front of everyone and shook it. Then he explained the situation in the outer city area while playing a ten-second tutorial on identifying the infected.
The crowd's originally somewhat excited mood gradually calmed down, and then became depressed and unbelievable.
Something invisible on the strange beast has actually infected so many people silently!
So is there any hope for those guys?
Are those guys still human?
One problem after another that had to be faced flashed through everyone's mind.
Seeing that everyone had realized the seriousness of the problem, the city defense officer continued:
“I called you here because the soldiers must not know about this.
“Or rather, the later they know, the better.
"The battle on the city wall is difficult to begin with. If they knew they had no escape route and that something might have happened at home, it would be hard for them to continue fighting."
He looked around at the people and continued:
"That's why I called a few of you here to explain in detail. You must assign at least one or two people to block the upward stairs under the city wall and hold those guys back or kill them."
The city defense officer's lips slowly stopped vibrating because he noticed that the faces of the people in front of him all looked a little strange.
As a newly trained team, Fresnel's team still relies heavily on the tacit cooperation between teammates.
Everyone’s position in it is indispensable. For example, the ability of the beacon is deeply bound to the puppeteer.
Once the two are separated, the puppeteer may be attacked from behind by his friends.
Although the ability to block the eyes is not particularly significant, it is also not very useful to stay and block the infected.
The only two people who can cause massive damage in a short period of time or prevent a large number of enemies from passing through are Fresnel and Wang Xiao.
But they are the main output force of the team.
Just as everyone was hesitating, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the city wall.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fat man with bloodshot eyes, bulging blood vessels, and drooling at the corners of his mouth, who was ramming into the gate of the military camp.
The two soldiers on guard had their guns pointed at him.
But the fat man seemed unconcerned, or he didn't even see the muzzle of the gun, as if the only thing in his eyes was the tall barbed wire gate.
Bang bang bang!
After three unsuccessful attempts to dissuade the guards, the two guards opened fire.
Several streams of blood mist suddenly burst out of the fat man's body, and an inhuman roar came from his throat.
What is shocking is that even though he has suffered several penetrating wounds, his movements are still not much deformed.
It was still banging against the door, again and again.
What’s even more terrifying is that behind him, on the street not far away, dozens or even hundreds of people with similar symptoms as him were approaching the gate of the military camp.
The people on the city wall saw everything and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was the puppeteer who spoke first. She asked weakly:
“These should be the infected people, right?”
No one spoke, the answer was self-evident.
"One last question."
Wang Xiao forced himself to calm down and looked at the city defense officer:
"Does the above mean to kill or stop?"
The city defense officer thought for a moment and said:
“The research institute must have been trying its best to create an antidote. Logically speaking, the main focus should be on blocking the enemy.
"But during the battle, everything about the army takes priority. Since they pose a threat to the defense of the city wall, they can be killed directly."
