Yu Yanbin looked at the small lamp at the entrance of the courtyard, which still had a faint light and could last for another half an hour.
He knew the time hadn't come yet, but there was a reason why they were taking over the shift early.
"You guys...?" Zhang Kaisheng was quite puzzled, as there hadn't been any such advance notice.
As was his habit, Shao Jie took the small lamp from Li Xiao and hung it at the door, replacing the one used by the Mad Lion Squad.
This little light is special because it has a time limit.
It can maintain brightness for a period of time; once the brightness is adjusted, it can be used until that time.
They all use the kind that can be set for two hours. After two hours, it dims and turns off.
This way, you don't need to calculate the time; you can simply look at the brightness of the light to know what time it is.
The small lamp that the Mad Lion Squad brought over was still on. Based on their experience these past few days, although the light wasn't bright enough, it could still last for about half an hour.
But now that the Chaoyang team is taking over at this time, how can they not find it strange?
It can't be this early, can it?
"High-level zombies are coming. You should go down quickly. You've been fighting for an hour and a half, and your physical strength and energy aren't as strong as they were at the beginning. You'd better go down and rest."
Zhang Kaisheng was startled when he heard Yu Yanbin say that.
"What?!" Zhang Kaisheng's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.
"Okay, you guys go and rest now, we'll take care of the rest."
Zhang Kaisheng was pulled away by Yu Yanbin, his shock evident in his eyes.
He was just as shocked as everyone on his team.
I just heard that some high-level zombies have arrived. Is that true?
Advanced zombies?!
They were replaced, just as Yu Yanbin had said. They had already used up a lot of their supernatural abilities, and their physical strength was also running low.
They didn't leave either, but stood in front of the gate between the small courtyard and the large courtyard, looking at the few people standing there.
Everyone in the Chaoyang team was on high alert, their eyes fixed on the outside of the courtyard, their expressions tense.
Here's the thing: Li Xiao basically keeps the map open all the time now, and rarely closes it.
It's always on even when there's no battle, and sometimes it even helps the Mad Lion Squad keep an eye on things.
Even before the appointed time had arrived, Li Xiao noticed that the zombies on the map had different levels of energy.
That's the energy of a high-level zombie. It's much more powerful than the energy of an ordinary zombie.
She didn't dare delay and immediately told Cheng Shaolin and the others.
This is not very good news.
Yu Yanbin and Cheng Shaolin dared not be careless and immediately planned to switch shifts early. After all, the Mad Lion Squad had been fighting for more than an hour, and they probably didn't have much of a chance against the high-level zombies.
This is why Yu Yanbin and his team took over the reins ahead of schedule.
"Xiaoxiao, how much further?" Yu Yanbin asked with a stern face.
"There are still more than 300 meters left."
"Okay, keep an eye on it."
"Um."
The zombies outside the door seemed no different, still trying to rush into the courtyard as before.
Yu Yanbin slowly lowered the zombie inside and then closed the courtyard gate.
The dozen or so zombies that were let in were quickly wiped out, leaving behind about a dozen crystals and about a dozen corpses.
Three batches of zombies were let in. Just as they finished eliminating the third batch and hadn't even thrown the bodies out, they heard Li Xiao say, "We're here, 10 meters to the right."
Yes, the zombie on the right came from the residential building. It's right outside their yard now.
Everyone perked up and dared not be careless.
The recent high-level zombie incident still haunts them and remains fresh in their minds.
How could they dare to be careless? That could be fatal.
We still don't know what kind of superpowers these zombies have; let's hope it's not some kind of psychic ability. I don't even want to experience that fear of being dominated by zombies again.
"Be careful, Xiao Xiaoxiao, you guys stay back."
Following Yu Yanbin's command, they all saw the zombies that had been waiting for them.
This was a zombie that wasn't very tall, and it was skinny with tattered rags clinging to its dark body.
The hair on the top of his head drooped down, with a few strands falling over his eyes.
Now, the zombies' eyes are no longer visible; only empty eye sockets remain, and it's unclear whether the eyeballs are still inside.
His cheeks were all gone, dark and looked like a skull. His mouth was reduced to just half of its lips, and you could see his teeth.
This advanced zombie wasn't moving fast; it walked towards the entrance along with the other ordinary zombies.
Without Li Xiao's map, at first glance they would be mistaken for ordinary zombies.
If this high-level zombie were to suddenly attack from among the ordinary zombies at the door, it could easily catch people off guard.
Thankfully, we have Li Xiao. Li Xiao's map-based ability is incredibly useful.
Li Xiao's map-mapping ability is getting stronger and stronger, and the range he can see is getting wider and wider.
Li Xiao sometimes daydreamed, wondering if her map-mapping ability would eventually cover an area as large as a city. If it did, she could monitor the entire city from home anytime without ever leaving. Just thinking about it made her feel very comfortable.
However, it's just a thought for now; we haven't reached that point yet, we're still a very, very long way off.
The advanced zombies stopped 3 meters away from the gate, watching as the ordinary zombies were let into the yard.
It didn't move, and it's unclear whether it had thoughts. It even roared like a normal zombie and joined in the commotion, but it didn't seem to want to rush into the yard like a normal zombie.
They simply pretended to be ordinary zombies, moving around casually, and looked no different from those ordinary zombies.
Everyone thought this advanced zombie was very cunning and had a lot of tricks up its sleeve.
If it weren't for Li Xiao, this would have been easily overlooked.
No one underestimated it because of its acting skills; instead, they became even more vigilant.
This advanced zombie has so many ulterior motives; who knows what else it might be plotting? It's always good to be cautious.
Yu Yanbin pretended not to know and opened the door to let the zombie in. After watching for about 4 or 5 minutes, he let in two more batches of zombies before actively mixing in with the ordinary zombies and following them into the courtyard.
Yu Yanbin gave everyone a look, and they all understood and focused their attention on the advanced zombie, watching to see what it was going to do.
This zombie is definitely very smart; I just don't know what she's planning to do next.
Just as Yu Yanbin and the others were still thinking, the zombie moved.
As soon as it entered the door, it rushed towards Shao Jie inside and pounced on him with its claws.
"Awooo!" Shao Jie roared, wondering what criteria this high-level zombie used to select its victims. He slashed at the outstretched claw.
The zombie's dark claws and Shao Jie's curved knife collided halfway through the fight, making a "clang" sound.
