The next day, Wei Lun was still unconscious, while Qin Mutong went downstairs alone to handle official business.
This day was the toughest one the guard had ever faced since its formation.
Having defeated a horde of tens of thousands of zombies, mostly level 2-3 zombies, and even facing an attack from level 5 zombies, all the guards were extremely excited.
Leaving aside other places, within the large city of Changhan alone, it can be said that the Guardian Group suffered the fewest casualties and achieved the greatest success. This is undoubtedly the result of everyone's hard work.
The first matter was the recruitment of guards. Qin Mutong ate a quick bite and then personally set off to oversee the recruitment process.
In the center of the city of the Guardian Group, there was a huge arena.
The recruitment rules have changed; you can join the guard if you defeat three people in a row.
At this moment, all the able-bodied men from every household were gathered around the arena, hoping to successfully join the guard. Even if they couldn't join, it would be good to broaden their horizons.
Although the guards are mostly level 2-3 enhanced individuals, there are many hidden experts within the Guardian Group.
Some had even reached level 4 enhancement, surpassing Wei Lun in strength. However, these individuals remained hidden, shrouded in mystery. They might have originated from powerful forces, their backgrounds and identities remaining unclear.
On the ring, several burly men faced each other, all maintaining a tense defensive posture.
There were four people on stage, meaning that as long as one of them was standing, the winner would be decided. Their eyes were filled with the desire for success.
The guard, a mythical entity.
Clad in particle armor, each person is enhanced to level 2 or higher, and their daily lives are provided with the best possible conditions in the apocalypse. They also receive the best possible medical treatment for combat injuries.
Therefore, in this apocalypse, the best job is to join the Guard, which means you will have everything you could want.
The guards would casually give away at least ten zombie cores as a reward. Keep in mind, an average person might have to work for half a month to get ten cores, but for these guards, it was just something to be given away as a reward—a symbol of status.
Qin Mutong sat on one side of the arena, watching the stage with great interest, surrounded by five or six guards.
No one dared to challenge Qin Mutong's presence, for she was the highest authority in the Guardian Group, the boss's wife! Whether they knew it or not, there were those who coveted Qin Mutong's beauty, but they were usually reminded by those around them.
Once they learned Qin Mutong's identity, those people basically shut up and kept their distance.
Offending such a powerful figure is tantamount to suicide, so Qin Mutong was surrounded by very few people; apart from the security personnel, there was practically no one else around.
It also seemed particularly special because these were real examiners.
The fight quickly broke out on the stage, with everyone giving it their all.
A man, facing an oncoming fist, dodged to the left, and suddenly delivered a powerful knee strike to the approaching enemy, easily dispatching him.
There were still two enemies on the stage. After a final showdown, seemingly sensing the man's strength, the other two joined forces and decided to deal with him together first.
Qin Mutong watched from below and smiled slightly.
"His strength is not bad, but his temperament is unstable. He is too eager to make a move, which makes him easy to be targeted."
Qin Mutong spoke to a maidservant beside her. This maidservant was also a member of the guard, but was a woman, which was why she was chosen to stay by Qin Mutong's side.
“What you say is true, madam.”
The maidservant gave a slight bow and said in complete agreement.
Clearly, even if this man possessed some skill, he immediately found himself at a disadvantage once the two opponents were able to counter him.
He was knocked off the stage in no time, leaving the remaining two to duel each other.
Qin Mutong was quite interested in this scene. She usually stayed at headquarters reviewing documents, so having the opportunity to go out and have fun made her feel very relaxed.
However, Wei Lun was no longer by his side.
If Wei Lun knew I was coming to watch the fight, he'd probably say something like, "My bed is the most comfortable place."
It lasted about an hour, during which some newly recruited guards were gradually added.
Headquarters compound
Wei Lun stretched, looked at the sky, and his eyes glazed over.
"Damn, last night was too crazy, my old back is killing me!"
As he spoke, Wei Lun bent over slightly, a humming sound playing at the corners of his mouth...
At the same time,
Zeng Guangtian led his guards out early to search for supplies, as the recent supply situation had been very unstable.
Sometimes you can find electrical materials by searching through old residential areas, and sometimes you can find usable instruments by searching through factories.
Sometimes, however, nothing can be found at all. The most difficult thing is finding food in the apocalypse. Fortunately, the Guardians Group has no shortage of food.
Otherwise, under these circumstances, it would be difficult to support even a guard, let alone have a settlement.
Just as Zeng Guangtian was complaining, he crossed a small path and found a road sign.
"No entry, military restricted area."
The sign was worn and crooked to one side.
Zeng Guangtian's eyes immediately lit up. This meant there were good things inside; it must be a pre-disaster military base.
"Everyone, establish exploratory formation, facing due west!"
Zeng Guangtian immediately gave orders to the squad. This time, he brought two squads, a total of 40 people, which was equivalent to a reinforced platoon!
The guards immediately changed formation, with some remaining on guard of the outer perimeter while others advanced to explore, all maintaining absolute military discipline.
As Zeng Guangtian walked further inside, he felt increasingly uneasy.
Because the zombies inside seemed unwilling to leave the military base, and each of them was wearing clothing similar to military uniforms.
Clearly, they were infected when the catastrophe struck, but their unwavering will compelled them to protect the base, and their strong military discipline prevented them from ever leaving their posts.
The further you go in, the more zombies there are.
Zeng Guangtian finally understood: before the change, there were troops stationed here, so all the zombies here were military personnel, and their combat skills had not diminished at all.
They were still holding rifles, and some were laser guns. Although these bullets couldn't harm the guards who were wearing particle armor,...
However, the powerful cutting ability of laser weapons is something that particle armor can hardly withstand.
In the blink of an eye, four or five guards had their armor cut through, and blood was flowing freely from their wounds.
Zeng Guangtian, a former soldier, has a deep feeling that these people would have been his comrades before the disaster, but unfortunately, the disaster changed everything.
The world is no longer the peaceful and beautiful world it once was, and Zeng Guangtian could not change that.
If we want to continue exploring, we must clear out these zombies.
"Everyone, fire! Hit and destroy the zombies, and protect yourselves!"
Zeng Guangtian commanded, "We are now humans, but we are facing zombies. Humans and zombies cannot coexist!"
Soon, beams of laser light shot out, turning the entire military base into a dazzling display of colors.
Zombies were riddled with bullets, some had their heads smashed open, and the ground was littered with limbs, pools of blood, and countless explosions.
There was a hint of sadness in Zeng Guangtian's eyes. After all, these zombies used to be real men, the ones who protected everyone.
Unfortunately, the catastrophe changed everything.
