"Weilun, it's such a pity that so many of these researchers died at the hands of zombies."
As Qin Mutong walked, she talked about how researchers were among the best-off people before the apocalypse, but the nuclear disaster turned them into helpless, vulnerable people, and they ended up in their current state.
"Well, it's a pity. We were lucky. If we could get in touch with technical talent, we would try to recruit them into our guard."
As Wei Lun spoke, his thoughts drifted far away. What he wanted wasn't to dominate the apocalypse, but to build a new world.
A new world, created by Weren's own hands, where peace has returned and people's lives are once again filled with hope.
These talents have become an indispensable key factor in Wei Lun's dream. With talents, there is a future and the possibility of truly standing firm!
"Yes, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Qin Mutong nodded and took Wei Lun's hand, and they walked out of the alley together.
As the two walked along the main street of the Guardian Group, some people cast curious glances their way.
A very unusual-looking man was accompanied by a slender and beautiful woman; such a pair were rarely seen in the community.
Since the Sixth Gathering Place was renamed the Guardian Group, many people here have started to notice the arrival of many strangers.
Most of them were renowned members of the guard, but these two were clearly not soldiers, so they must be members of management.
Those who can stroll so leisurely on the street are probably high-ranking officials. People only dare to steal glances and don't dare to approach them to chat, much less block their way.
When we arrived at a store, I suddenly heard a report coming from outside through my earpiece.
Zeng Guangtian's combat formation has been newly discovered outside.
"Is headquarters there? Reporting to headquarters, boss! Level 3 zombies have appeared within five kilometers of the Guardian Group! Alert! Don't come out!"
Zeng Guangtian's words kept repeating in the headphones: Level 3 zombie!
This was the first time Wei Lun had encountered a Level 3 zombie in the apocalypse. A Level 3 zombie was simply beyond the limits of human capability.
Their six senses are incredibly powerful, allowing them to accurately pinpoint human locations. They can leap two meters high in a single bound and run at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, covering ten meters per second.
They are incredibly elusive, appearing and disappearing without a trace; automatic rifles are completely ineffective against them.
Even laser weapons have difficulty detecting traces of Level 3 zombies; the only way to defend against them is with a lightsaber.
Zeng Guangtian and his team discovered a large number of Level 3 zombies gathered on the outskirts of the Guardian Group, which was not a good sign!
"Headquarters received. Ensure your safety and withdraw as soon as possible!"
Wei Lun said into the earpiece that since they didn't know how many zombies there were, and to avoid putting Zeng Guangtian and the others at risk, Wei Lun advised them to retreat as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Zeng Guangtian was also a level 3 enhanced being, giving him some resistance against level 3 zombies.
However, most of the guards are only at level 2 enhancement, so they will definitely be at a disadvantage when dealing with them.
"Reporting to the boss, we may not be able to get back for a while. We've been warned by a level 3 zombie."
Zeng Guangtian spoke, slightly out of breath. Clearly, while leading his team hunting and searching for supplies, they had been eaten by these level 3 zombies.
If the zombies can't fill their stomachs, they'll probably surround Zeng Guangtian and the others, preventing them from leaving.
"Do you need support?"
Wei Lun asked anxiously. Zeng Guangtian was their main force. If he were to be lost, their fighting strength would be greatly reduced!
"Boss, requesting backup. We're using laser swords now, which makes fighting very slow."
Zeng Guangtian reported into the headset, continuing to fight as he spoke.
Drawing his lightsaber, he aimed at a shadow and stabbed it fiercely. A zombie with a face covered in rotting flesh and blood fell to the ground.
This zombie looked incredibly disgusting; its features were no longer human at all, resembling a giant worm with deformed organs and exposed internal organs.
It's terrifying to look at!
"Okay, Zhu Guanjun has received the reply! Immediately mobilize the mobile units to support Zeng Guangtian!"
Wei Lun spoke into the headset, saying that Zhu Guanjun was already fully prepared; his mobile unit was specifically designed to handle this kind of risk.
"Reporting, boss! We've set off! Zeng Guangtian, hold on for 10 minutes!"
Zhu Guanjun said in the time-traveling headset that he had already put on his equipment.
A small team of 20 men went off to provide support, and Wei Lun breathed a sigh of relief.
Level 3 zombie?
What's going on lately? We used to rarely see even level 2 zombies, but now level 3 zombies are running all over the place.
What exactly happened? The more Wei Lun thought about it, the more bizarre and worried he became!
Passersby had already seen Qin Mutong and Wei Lun standing on the road giving orders.
Some passersby began speculating about the identities of the two.
"It sounds like they're giving orders to the guard captains. Who are they?"
"It must be a high-ranking leader!"
"Could it be the boss of the Guardian Group?"
"It's definitely Boss Wei!"
...
Wei Lun ignored the whispering passersby and prepared to take Qin Mutong back.
The Guardian Group is currently in a relatively stable position, but it is facing a severe shortage of manpower.
Although there were five or six hundred people, the settlement was very large, and once deployed, there were hardly any left to manpower.
"Weilun, do you think Zeng Guangtian and Zhu Guanjun might be in trouble?"
Qin Mutong was somewhat worried. Level 3 zombies were the highest level she had encountered so far, and she didn't know how many mutated traits they possessed.
If some of them are capable of ranged attacks, this battle will likely be very difficult.
"Sigh, there's no use worrying about it. We're so close to the Guardian Group. If we don't eliminate them, this place will become an independent battalion, and our connection with the outside world might be cut off!"
Although Wei Lun knew that this zombie outbreak was very risky, he still had a lot of confidence in Zeng Guangtian and Zhu Guanjun.
One is the strongest fighter, and the other is very young and vigorous. Working together, they should have no problem eliminating some level 3 zombies.
Even if they fail, they should be able to escape safely.
Most importantly, why are there so many high-level zombies outside the Guardian Group?
It seems the guard needs to be expanded!
All management levels need further strengthening; at least Level 3 strengthening is insufficient to meet the needs of the entire Guardian Group.
If more advanced zombies appear in the future, we may not be able to withstand them.
After bringing Qin Mutong back to the headquarters compound, Wei Lun let out a deep breath.
Sitting in the courtyard, Wei Lun pondered how much to expand his force, while Qin Mutong went back to her room to wash fruit.
After taking a sip of ordinary tea, Wei Lun thought for a moment.
"If robots could transform from service robots into combat robots, all the problems would be solved!"
What humans cannot do, robots absolutely can!
