Chapter 52 Chapter 52 "Have those mutants come up with new tricks?"...
"First of all, you went to the territory of those two teachers yesterday. Most of the people with them were students from the same sports school, about 120 in number. Although not the largest number, their overall strength should be the best. It's a pity that they don't have any powerful weapons."
"They are ready to move. If a fight breaks out later, they will be your best helpers."
Gong Lan stood in front of the window, listening to the outside returning to peace. There had been no gunshots for a long time, but his expression did not relax. Instead, it became more solemn.
It was not until she heard familiar footsteps behind her that she slightly concealed her worry and turned to look at her husband Nie Jianping.
"The stray mutants have been dealt with, and they are all ready. Should we go out now or wait and see?"
Seeing his surprisingly calm expression, Gong Lan paused, then sighed and said, "Wait a little longer, and get out as soon as the next wave of mutants arrives."
Although the accident happened too suddenly, it was not a solution for them to just keep waiting day after day. If they wanted to survive, they could only rely on themselves instead of hoping for someone to rescue them.
After saying that, she walked into the living room and looked at Wang Xu, who was a little uneasy: "Are you sure there are only two of them and a mutant dog? No one else came to support them?"
There were a few people on the farm who could barely fight, but they were not included in the plan. Wang Xu thought about it and shook his head: "Probably not."
Gong Lan and Nie Jianping looked at each other, more in deep thought than surprise - who are they? Even if they awakened earlier, there shouldn't be such a big gap between them, right?
And if they are really that powerful, then this may be their only and last chance to escape.
Seeing the two of them had made up their minds, Wang Xu couldn't help but clench the road map that Ye Mian left for him in his hand, and said carefully: "But, you are included in their plan."
?
Gong Lan was stunned for a moment before vaguely understanding what was going on. His expression changed several times before finally returning to calm: "Then you come with us."
"Then there's the group of people who occupied the police station. Their leader is called Brother Tian. He's been in jail for wounding someone before. He's a bit reckless but he doesn't have any bad intentions. They don't have many people, but they have a lot of firepower. It's said that they raided several police stations in a row. They can fight and are loyal, but there's one named Lu Chun who's very cunning. Don't expect them to be of any help with him around."
"Yawn——" Lu Chun rubbed his nose, looking puzzled, "Who is scolding me behind my back?"
Gao Tianyu turned to look at him: "No movement, it doesn't look like he lost."
"Really?" Lu Chun took the telescope from Gao Tianyu and confirmed that the roads outside were quiet. He couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, "Brother Tian, do you think two evolvers, both of whom are women, plus a mutated dog, can really handle so many mutants? There are three of them with higher levels."
"You mean," Gao Tianyu frowned, "these mutants have come up with new tricks?"
Lu Chun nodded and said, "It's very likely. After all, generally speaking, with such a big commotion, you have to go out to help or check the situation. But Brother Tian, did you see anyone?"
No.
This means that not only them, but others also think there is something fishy. Gao Tianyu crossed his arms and said, "It's quite smart."
"However," Lu Chun changed the subject, "this is not entirely a bad thing."
"What do you mean?"
"No matter what the real situation is, it means that Dannan Town may be in chaos. We have a lot of weapons, and we can take advantage of the chaos to kill our way out. But there is one thing, I hope you can make up your mind, Brother Tian."
Gao Tianyu realized something: "You say."
Lu Chun lowered his voice and said, "If someone wants to blackmail us, we will treat them the same as the mutants."
“…”
Seeing that Gao Tianyu was still hesitant, Lu Chun didn't say much, but just stared at him. When he slowly lowered his eyes and sighed, he knew that he had compromised.
Lu Chun then revealed a satisfied look. It was not that he was cruel, but at this moment it was better for everyone to fend for themselves and escape.
Anyone who tries to stop him will die.
"Finally - we are the locals of Denam."
At this point, the yellow-haired young man remembered to introduce himself: "By the way, my name is Shi Lang, Shi means charity and Lang means clear and bright."
"Yes, Ye Mian." Seeing that he finished the not-so-small roasted sweet potato in just a few bites, Ye Mian handed him another one.
"Wow!" Shi Lang took it with his eyes shining again, "Thank you! Do you want to talk to our sister Yun in person about your plans or something?"
Sister Yun?
Ye Mian paused, then nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the way?"
"Okay, follow me, it's just over there!"
Following Shi Lang through several intersecting roads, Ye Mian was slightly startled when he saw a sign hanging above a large doorway. He then looked at Shi Lang and asked, "Inside?"
Shi Lang did not go directly through the doorway, but turned into a small alley next to it: "I guess so. It's very big inside. Not to mention the mutants, even outsiders would get lost if they come here."
Before following, Ye Mian glanced at the sign that read "Dannan Vegetable Market" again, and had an inexplicable premonition in his heart.
And this premonition came true after he met Sister Yun mentioned by Shi Lang.
"Hello, I'm Su Peiyun. Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to confirm that your actions have been carefully considered and you are not just seeking death, right?"
The woman in front of me was about thirty years old, with her long hair tied in a low ponytail tucked into her coat, looking neat and tidy.
He has a delicate face, firm eyes, and an obvious leadership demeanor. His skill is to convince and make people obey [commands].
Without asking too much, we can know that she is the leader of the survivors in Danan Town.
But more importantly, before Ye Mian left yesterday, he learned from Qi Shu his wife's name - Su Peiyun.
It is unlikely that someone has the same name and surname in the same town. It can only be the same person.
Unexpectedly, she really found the person. Although the couple had different personalities, they were subtly similar in some aspects, and both of them were equally loved by her.
Ye Mian also skipped the step of testing each other and said directly: "Of course not, our plan is to defeat them one by one. If everyone can gather together, we can fight the final BOSS together. If you can't or can't defeat it, we can escape in the chaos."
When Su Peiyun heard the final BOSS, she was stunned for a moment. After Shi Lang explained to her that it was a higher-level mutant who commanded the actions of all mutants behind the scenes, her expression became a little serious.
"So, even though your plan included all of us, you implemented it without consulting us? And then you let us improvise and adapt to the situation?"
That’s right, that’s why Wang Xu called it “making trouble”.
Ye Mian looked calm, "So-called discussions are actually just a waste of time. There are always people who object, or want to elect someone they support to take charge, or are worried about this or that, causing conflicts and contradictions. But you have been trapped here for so many days, you should be able to see that the mutants are getting stronger. If you delay for one more day, the big boss will become more difficult."
Shi Lang, who likes to go out for a run whenever he has nothing to do, couldn't agree more: "That's right, at the beginning the town was full of low-level mutants running around like headless flies, and it took less than a month for it to become what it is now. If it goes on any longer, it will only be more difficult to fight."
After he finished speaking, seeing Su Peiyun fall silent, Ye Mian continued: "Although the chances of winning are slim, the chance of escaping successfully should be around 80%, provided that you are willing to join this plan."
"So high!?" Shi Lang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Su Peiyun was also surprised and stunned again: "Really?"
"Well, how many of you are there?"
Although Ye Mian had realized on his way here that there were many small bungalows winding around, which should be able to hide many people, he was still a little surprised when he heard Su Peiyun report the number of people.
"More than 300 people?"
"Yes," Su Peiyun looked embarrassed, "but there are not many young and strong people, most of them are women and children, I guess they can't help much."
It seems that when the mutation occurred, almost no one reacted and ran away. Instead, they all stayed in the town and were completely trapped afterwards.
And in the past month, they have lost many companions trying to escape, so they have become more cautious and will not easily approach even foreign evolvers.
Ye Mian nodded and asked, "How many of you can drive?"
"A lot. People usually drive their children to school, but many trams are out of service."
Su Peiyun paused, then said hesitantly, "Some mutants are very fast, and you may not be able to get rid of them even if you drive."
"Don't worry, I have this in mind." Ye Mian took out the route map he had drawn in the morning, with some text annotations on it, "Divide the people into two groups, one group is responsible for attracting attention, and the other group is responsible for covering the rear."
"But remember one thing, don't rush out of town before I give the signal, and try to stay calm no matter what happens."
Shi Lang was startled: "The more powerful mutant is outside the town?"
Ye Mian hummed: "Although my plan is to lure it into the town, the fact is that once there is chaos, it will come here without any special intention to lure it."
After hearing this, Su Peiyun understood that the ultimate goal of Ye Mian's plan was to delay the mutants and then create opportunities and time for them to escape.
"you……"
Without giving her a chance to say anything extra, Ye Mian briefly explained the subsequent arrangements, and then set a signal with the two to contact each other. Before leaving, he reminded them: "Now what you have to do is to divide into groups as quickly as possible and find a car that can be driven. Don't worry about other things, and don't come out to help without permission."
After saying that, she immediately went back to the car she had just found and opened the door to get in.
Gong Lan has already taken action, and should be listening to Wang Xu talking about the plan she has drawn up.
As for Su Peiyun, since her skill is [Command], she doesn't need to worry about any problems.
Only Brother Tian is left. He has not been seen since and no one knows what he is thinking.
However, they certainly do not want to be trapped forever, but will come out at the right time to fight for a chance to escape.
This timing is not too early, so it will not have much impact on the plan.
Ye Mian fastened his seat belt, took out his pistol, stroked it and waited for a while, then lowered his eyes, started the car, and suddenly crashed into the car in front and drove onto the road.
