The evolved beings of the Third Army, in platoons, slowly and steadily advanced towards the county town to encircle it.
A year and a half has passed since the disaster, and this small county town has been completely overrun by monstrous zombies.
Everywhere there were abandoned vehicles and ruins.
Besides zombies, mutated green plants are also trying to take root in this small county town and turn it into a completely green place.
In the southeast of the county town, thousands of zombies were scattered in various corners.
Chen Si walked at the front, drew her Level 2 Bio-Blade, and charged directly at the nearest zombie.
As a level 2 evolved being and a speed-type being, she is incredibly fast.
He instantly appeared in front of the zombie dozens of meters away and cut it in two.
The instant the zombie's head fell off, Chen Si appeared in front of another zombie and swung her knife again.
After killing more than a dozen zombies, Chen Si looked around and found that there were very few zombies left.
His soldiers were like they were on steroids, frantically reaping the lives of zombies.
Some are more elegant, always precisely piercing the zombie's skull with each attack, leaving each dead zombie with its entire body intact.
Some are quite violent; even though they have a knife, they always prefer to use the blade.
However, they were incredibly strong, and ordinary zombies would always be swatted away, sometimes even torn to pieces.
There were also those who were more conventional, whose alloy swords always struck the zombies' necks precisely, severing their heads.
They all went berserk.
Even the strength-based warriors who were responsible for defense with shields were now using their shields as weapons, swatting and smashing zombies to death.
Even in close combat.
Their faces were filled with excitement, joy, and the thrill of crushing their opponents.
The only thing they didn't experience was the fear of facing hordes of zombies.
Chen Si knew that this was a qualitative change caused by quantitative change.
When you are the only evolved being around, you will feel panic and fear when facing a horde of hundreds or thousands of zombies.
When you have a hundred fellow evolved beings by your side, you feel safe facing this horde of zombies.
When surrounded by more than a thousand fellow evolved beings, all they could think about was how to kill as many as possible to have some fun.
With a few light leaps, Chen Si landed directly on the roof of a five-story building.
She looked down at the street below, trying to spot any potential threats.
As Chen Si saw an M3 rapidly approaching, she was about to jump down when she discovered that the M3 had already been shot in the head.
Such precise marksmanship, was it Madam Gan who made the move?
She looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, the giant golden eagle circled in the air.
Even from hundreds of meters away, Chen Si could clearly see Gan Wei smiling at her from the bird's back.
Chen Si smiled at Gan Wei as well.
On the back of a bird.
Ning Chuxia kept her eyes fixed on the mutated jungle to the west of the county town.
There are many giant trees there, some hundreds of meters tall, and quite a few even over a thousand meters tall.
Even in winter, its branches and leaves are exceptionally lush.
It stretches endlessly, without end.
Compared to the dense jungle over there, this small county town is extremely tiny.
Gan Wei killed another M3 she had spotted and asked curiously, "Chu Xia, what's wrong? You've been staring over there, did you find something?"
Ning Chuxia said hesitantly, "I don't know either. I just feel like there's something over there. It feels like there's a level 2 or even level 3 mutated beast, but it's not quite right. This is the first time I've had this feeling."
Gan Wei frowned and looked towards the mutated jungle.
But the branches and leaves were so lush that nothing seemed strange at all.
Ning Chuxia thought for a moment and said seriously, "Let's clear out the zombies in the county town as soon as possible, and then move on. The world has changed a lot now, and we have no idea how many secrets it holds. We can explore slowly after we've dealt with the Chosen City matter."
Gan Wei could only nod.
She doesn't have Ning Chuxia's magical sensory abilities; she just has unusual eyesight and is more skilled at using firearms.
She was completely unaware of anything strange.
West of the county town.
Villa area.
Wei Chenglong kicked open the rusty iron gate and was about to rush in.
The two soldiers behind him rushed in like lightning and quickly killed the five zombies in the courtyard.
Wei Chenglong cursed, "Damn it, couldn't they have gone somewhere else? We finally found these few zombies."
One of the soldiers chuckled and said, "Company commander, how could a master like you dare to compete with us for these weaklings?"
Wei Chenglong's face twitched, and he said irritably, "There aren't many zombies in the western area that our Third Regiment is responsible for, and the villa area that our Second Battalion First Company is responsible for has even fewer zombies. Tell me, besides these weakling zombies, where are the strong ones?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "Company commander, don't you feel that this villa area is strange? There are too few zombies."
Wei Chenglong looked at the dark, mutated forest on the edge of the villa area and said calmly, "There aren't many people living here to begin with, and there's a forest not far away. It's normal for survivors to be active here. In time, they'll definitely kill off most of the zombies."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his subordinate's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Company Commander, come quickly! Something's fishy about the villas around here! There should be survivors nearby!"
Wei Chenglong pulled out a map and looked at it, then casually said, "Isn't it normal to have survivors? Don't make a fuss. Go find them."
Having experienced many major events, Wei Chenglong showed little interest in the few survivors.
"Company Commander, we've searched! We found a lot of signs of survivors in the basement, and they dug a tunnel in the basement. We don't know where it leads. Would you like to take a look? We don't have the level 2 bio-armor you're wearing, so we dare not go in rashly."
Wei Chenglong subconsciously glanced down at his Level 2 crocodile skin trench coat, then his face twitched and he cursed, "Damn it, no wonder you sent me over there, you just wanted to make me, the company commander, a scout!"
An awkward laugh came from the other end of the walkie-talkie: "Company commander, why don't you lend me these clothes? I'll go in and make a big contribution!"
Wei Chenglong recalled his subordinate's earlier statement that "signs of numerous survivors have been discovered," and his lips twitched as he cursed, "Get lost! I'll go in myself! Don't try to steal my credit!"
Arriving at the basement of the villa his subordinate had mentioned, Wei Chenglong shone a flashlight around, then stared into thought at the tunnel, which was taller than a person and a meter wide.
He couldn't help but ask, "How many people and how much time would it take to dig out a tunnel like this?"
The dozen or so subordinates looked at each other in bewilderment.
Wei Chenglong was just about to say something more.
Suddenly, one of his men whispered, "Company commander, there's a sound coming from the tunnel! A group of people are walking towards us!"
Wei Chenglong and the others were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the person who spoke.
Once he realized that the speaker was the one with the best hearing in the company, Wei Chenglong quickly waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse and be on guard.
