The next day, early morning.
The sky was just beginning to brighten, and there was still a hint of mist in the air.
The three teams that are going to investigate the whereabouts of the Zombie King will gather at the gate of the base today.
The Dawn Team came to the meeting point at the agreed time, but when they arrived, they were the only team at the gate of the base, and no one else was seen. After waiting for about ten minutes, they finally saw the first team.
This team is called the Navy SEAL Team, and is currently the tenth ranked team at Base Hope.
"I was delayed on the way. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
In fact, Captain Huang of the SEAL team was very jealous of the Dawn Team that suddenly shone brightly in the base. This time, they were also deliberately late for a few minutes, mainly to test the team in front of them.
The perfunctory tone in the words the SEALs just explained to them was obvious, and the people from the Dawn Team were not someone who could be easily fooled, so they naturally heard it right away.
Gu Yicheng stood there, looking at the group of people opposite him with a half-smile. Lin Yang had a bad temper. After he realized that these people were deliberately playing tricks on them, he didn't need to wait for Brother Gu to deal with such a trivial matter. He started to mock them in advance, "Since you can't come on time, why bother others? If you don't have the diamond, don't take on this porcelain job. If you are so unpunctual every time you do a mission, then I probably understand why your team has been in the base for so long, but your ranking is getting lower and lower."
Knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. Therefore, they had conducted investigations in advance on the teams that would be working on the mission with them this time. Although the information might not be comprehensive, they had gained a certain understanding of the two teams.
If Lin Yang really started to speak harshly, his fighting ability would not be something that ordinary people could withstand. Just like this time, he didn't say a single dirty word, and he criticized these people from top to bottom. The others were fine, but that one sentence about the lower and lower rankings really hit the sore spot of the SEAL team members.
The tenth place in the base might be a good result for other teams, and the survivors of the base are vying to join. But the SEAL team is different. They used to be the second-ranked superpower team in the base, and were envied and hated by other teams. However, others are on the rise, but only their team has been on the decline, and even fell out of the top ten. And experiencing such a big gap all of a sudden also changed their state of mind. Now they are the ones who envy and hate others.
The Dawn Team has a much higher points ranking than the SEAL Team a few months ago, and they do have the capital. Now the two teams are compared together, one is making rapid progress and is unstoppable, while the other is constantly regressing. Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed and vomit blood.
Naturally, there were many people in the Navy SEAL team who were furious at Lin Yang's words. Those with a more explosive temper even wanted to roll up their sleeves and rush over to fight him, but as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by the captain next to him.
"Captain Gu, we were a little too rude just now. I'd like to say sorry to you." Even though he was not particularly willing to do so, the way and tone in which Captain Huang apologized to the Chenxi team this time was obviously much more formal.
Because he knew very well that their team would most likely not be able to defeat these people. At the same time, he began to regret listening to the deputy captain's words and testing the Dawn Team before coming.
Captain Huang secretly sighed and gave up the original plan, not wanting to clash with the Dawn Team again. However, he did not have the idea of ​​committing suicide, but that did not mean that the deputy captain beside him was willing to give up. Because he had fallen from the peak before, the deputy captain of the SEAL team now disliked the new teams that suddenly rose and became famous in the base.
And this time, the team that was working with their Navy SEALs was actually a newly emerged team. This made him feel very frustrated and he couldn't figure it out. It seemed like he had walked into a dead end.
The deputy captain noticed another team out of the corner of his eye, and with an idea in mind, he pointed in a direction and said, "...We are not the only ones who are late. Look, the Thunder Team is also late. They were late even longer than us. Why don't you say anything to them?"
The deputy captain had once come into contact with the Thunder Squad. He knew clearly how arrogant the Thunder Squad was and how they looked down on everyone. If the Dawn Squad had said such sarcastic words to these people, the Thunder Squad would definitely not be able to bear it. At that time, the two teams would definitely fight.
Instead of getting involved in the fight themselves, it would be better for the two teams to fight each other. The SEAL team could take this opportunity to watch the fire from the other side of the river and understand their strength without any effort.
Captain Huang frowned at the deputy captain's behavior, but ultimately did not scold him in public. However, he has begun to consider whether to replace the deputy captain after this mission is over. His behavior today was too radical, and he did not obey management at all. He had just stated that he would no longer continue to target the Dawn Team, but who knew that he would actually go and provoke them.
"Everyone in the Thunder Team is not a good person. You should be careful and stay away from them. It is said that all those who go against them will end up in a bad situation." In order to save some impression, Captain Huang reminded them not to let any conflict really happen between the two teams. If a conflict really happened, their Navy SEAL team might not be able to escape unscathed.
Ruan Ning couldn't figure out what the SEAL team was up to for a moment. They almost had a fight with them just now, and it was their people who instigated the conflict between them and the Thunder Squad, but now Captain Huang suddenly reminded them of these things.
The SEALs didn't know that the Dawn Squad had once met the Thunder Squad at the Salt City Base. They had long known that these people in the Thunder Squad had a bad reputation and acted recklessly. If they worked with them, they might have to be on guard against them all the time in case they suddenly switched sides and did something on the way.
However, these people are not good people, and the Dawn Squad is not easy to mess with. So everyone is the same, as long as these people don't mess with them, no matter how fierce and evil these people are, they have nothing to do with them.
Compared to the SEALs, the Thunderbolts have a much stronger presence, as can be seen from the mental state of their members and the valuable equipment they carry.
This group of people clearly saw the two teams waiting here, but they still walked at a leisurely pace and did not seem to be in a hurry at all.
"Sorry, we just took care of a few random people on the road, so we're late. I hope you don't mind?" said one of the big and strong men, holding a long knife in his hand, with blood still dripping from the tip of his knife.
I hope that fighting is strictly prohibited in the base, and these people not only knowingly committed the crime, but also probably used brutal force. It is hard to say whether that person is still alive.
Lin Yang was not used to seeing someone so arrogant in front of him, so he just wanted to spar with him to test his strength, but this time he was stopped by Gu Yicheng. Lin Yang looked at Gu in confusion, but saw him shaking his head with a disapproving expression. Lin Yang always listened to Gu. Last time he didn't stop him, but this time he didn't let him take action. He must have his reasons, so Lin Yang could only give up.
The reason why Gu Yicheng stopped Lin Yang was because he had just noticed that there was a hint of black on the blade of this man's knife, which meant that this man's knife must have been coated with a deadly poison.
It was different from the last time. That time they were very confident of defeating the SEAL Team, but this time, even though they would lose against the Thunder Team, it would still be difficult for them to win.
This group of people is difficult to deal with.
There is a long way to go, and there is no need for them to act bravely just for the sake of verbal pleasure.
The location of this mission is far from Hope Base, so they need to drive to get there. The news of the discovery of the Zombie King was first reported a day ago. If they go later, it will be more difficult to find its whereabouts.
Regardless of what everyone present thought, the last three teams still set out with caution.
The three teams participating in this mission are all the best teams in the Hope Base, and their strength is not bad. However, sometimes one plus one plus one may not necessarily have a synergistic effect.
If it weren't for the name of a mission, it would be much more convenient for Gu Yicheng to do his own thing, so he wouldn't act with these irrelevant people.
"Brother Gu, it's bad, there's a group of zombies ahead." Jiang Jingchao's ability was just one step away from the fourth level, so he noticed this situation when the group of zombies was still quite a distance away from their convoy.
So if they change their route now, they should still be able to avoid the zombies. However, the Dawn Team has a psychic who can detect unknown dangers in advance, but I don't know if the other two teams have this ability.
However, according to Ruan Ning's observation, there should be no psychics in the other two teams, and their team should be the first to discover the zombies. Now the zombies are getting closer and closer to them. If they go forward, they will definitely encounter a large group of zombies.
"Brother Gu, should we send someone to warn them about the zombies?" Jiang Jingchao asked after reporting the situation. Of course, he didn't like these two teams, not because he was worried that they would be attacked by zombies, but because he didn't want to be held back by them.
Gu Yicheng calculated the distance between their convoy and the zombie swarm, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "We go first. If something goes wrong with them, they will catch up naturally if they want to. If they don't want to catch up, let them deal with the zombie swarm on their own."
During this journey, the three teams were all concerned about their own affairs, and they could not even pretend to be at odds with each other. Therefore, there was no need for them to waste time and make trouble for themselves. Maybe these people would think they were fooling them and would not appreciate it.
Previously, the three teams had a disagreement over who should go first and who should go last in the convoy. At that time, the Dawn Team was too lazy to argue with others over such a matter and waste time, so they took the initiative to be the last one to leave.
"Captain, why are the two teams behind us gone?" The driver of the SEAL team at the front of the team suddenly realized this situation after driving for a while. He couldn't make a decision and could only quickly report it to the captain.
Captain Huang looked at the two disappearing teams and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He didn't have time to think about it and said, "Hurry up and turn the car back and follow the other two teams." The route they were taking was obviously the most convenient, but now the other two teams suddenly turned a corner and changed the route. There must be something that he didn't know about, and it was most likely a bad thing.
The driver listened to him and quickly turned the steering wheel to turn the car. However, his sight fell on a place that made him so shocked that he was speechless. In his rearview mirror, he suddenly saw a zombie... two, three, four... countless zombies.
The zombies densely packed throughout the street were heading towards them, which was exactly the opposite direction of their previous movement. This meant that their previous actions were tantamount to walking into a trap.
"What the hell are you still sitting there in a daze for? Drive the car! Do you want all of us to be left here to feed the zombies?!" Even Captain Huang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was stunned by the scene. But after all, he was experienced and had been through big scenes before, so he quickly came to his senses. When he found that the driver next to him was still in a daze, he quickly shouted loudly, wishing he could take his place and drive the car away.
Now there are so many zombies behind the car. He couldn't imagine the consequences if he was caught up.
