Chapter 1000...
"Dead man!?" Wang Ning's eyes widened in shock.
Yin Kuang explained: "Dumb! Of course, he's just pretending to be dead."
"Oh. Scared me to death. I don't want to die." Wang Ning said: "Pretend to be a dead man? That's not bad... But what if there are zombies wandering around and they come here, what then? I don't want to make it real."
Yin Kuang said: "It should... be impossible, right? And I think that if our enemies were just zombies... the principal wouldn't have to go through so much trouble setting up this 'hidden task'. A small number of zombies can't pose a threat to us, and a large group of zombies... Mary would have been overwhelmed by zombies long ago, where's the need for rescue?"
"Perhaps we can understand it as, the enemies we are about to face are already enough for us to bear, there is no need to use zombies to increase the difficulty of the task. Haven't you noticed? Since we met the blind man Mack, it's been particularly quiet here, not even a single zombie. You know, Xiongshi City has already become a world of zombies, how can there be no zombies? The only explanation is..."
Have to say, Li Shuang has a very strong overall view.
"Principal's setting!" Yin Kuang said: "So, since the enemy we are going to face is not a zombie, but very powerful, who will it be? Our current enemies are zombies, crawlers, avenging goddesses, that is, tracker Matt, and also mutated animals. I really can't figure out what special connection there is between tracker Matt and guide dog Mary, the zombies can be ruled out, so only mutated animals and crawlers are left."
Mutated animals are still manageable for a few people. But if it were crawlers...
"If we're going to be crawlers, then we'll really become dead men." Wang Ning said with a bitter smile.
Li Shuang nodded and shook her head, saying: "You've left out one more... Although I also can't figure out what connection they have with this dog, it's not impossible either."
"Them?"
"Protect Umbrella Corporation!" Zeng Fei said coldly.
"How is that possible? The Umbrella Corporation? A dog? What on earth is the principal going to use to connect the two of them?! I'd rather believe we're facing a crawler than that damned Umbrella Corporation. They're a hornet's nest! We can't mess with them." Wang Ning said.
"No matter what kind of enemy we're facing... but if we lose our confidence now, we'll definitely be doomed! So let's cheer up. Thinking about anything else is meaningless at this point! Whether it's the Crawlers, the Mutated Creatures, or maybe even the Umbrella Corporation intervening out of nowhere, we have to face them bravely, don't you think?"
"Hmm!"
Then, Zeng Fei and Qianqian Qian formed a group, Li Shuangmu, Yin Kuang, and Wang Ning formed another. When they parted ways, the two sides exchanged secret signals again - Qianqian Qian would hang a piece of cloth on the rooftop, if the cloth fell down, it meant the enemy was a Crawler, if the cloth was taken back, it meant the enemy was an Umbrella Corporation, and if it remained still, it indicated a Zombie!
"Be careful!"
"You too."
After finishing speaking, the two groups separated.
Ling Frost watched as the two entered the building, then said: "Let's change our clothes too. This outfit really doesn't look like a dead person. It's just a pity that we used so many study points to exchange for this set of clothes." Ling Frost, who had never worried about money before, once again lamented the importance of money. Of course, this money referred to study points.
After bustling about for a while, the three of them also looked a bit like corpses, and then they lay down in a place not far from Mike to start playing dead.
"Hey! Boss, is the guy who gave this damn order out of his mind? He wants our renowned 'Black Snake Mercenaries' to catch a Labrador Retriever?! Oh God, I can hardly believe my ears. Is today April Fool's Day or something? This has got to be the worst mission I've ever received since I started working." A fully armed skinny black man kept muttering to himself.
Ever since he got on the helicopter, after hearing the task being conveyed from above, he started muttering to himself tirelessly, rubbing his thick lips, even now that he's gotten off the helicopter, he still can't close his sausage-like thick lips.
"Shut your thick and hot dog-like mouth, or I'll cut it off and feed it to the dogs!"
Next to Black Ron, a white thug who couldn't take it anymore pulled out a gleaming Nepalese military knife.
"Heh heh heh, calm down, William, you should calm down... Alright, I apologize, a very sincere apology." Ronan finally surrendered again under William's Nepalese khukuri, "But, William, my good friend, don't you think that giving us such a mission is simply an insult to our Black Snakes?"
William grunted twice, sheathed his sword, "Shut your mouth. If it were someone else, he would have given you a bullet."
"Alright, alright. I admit it, I was just venting to the air when no one's around. It's really frustrating to keep it all bottled up inside! A load of crap!" Ronan looked like a deflated balloon, "No idea what's going on with the boss either, or if they've found that damned dog."
"Why don't you just tune in to the wireless channel and ask?"
"Alright, forget I said that."
Suddenly, William stopped, a pair of beast-like eyes scanning around.
Because the road was piled up with all sorts of overturned cars, the traffic was slightly congested. At a glance, apart from abandoned vehicles, there were still abandoned vehicles everywhere.
A cold and gloomy night shrouded every corner of Otter City.
"Hey William, why aren't you leaving?"
"Don't you think it's too quiet here?"
"Too quiet? What?! Do you want a whole bunch of disgusting zombies here saying 'Hey, buddy, welcome to my stomach'? Are you crazy?" Rona made a face. "You should thank the advance team for those idiots, they attracted all the zombies in the city over there so we can stroll around like in a garden looking for that damned dog!"
“……” William ignored Ronah's nonsense and pressed the switch on his wireless earpiece, "Boss, I've got a bad feeling. It's too quiet here." As a mercenary forged in iron and blood, William had always trusted his instincts. Because that could keep him alive longer!
"Shhh... shhhh..." The earpiece transmitted the sound of Shasha, but it was unclear what Luona was saying even when she leaned in closer. "Head" continued to speak, but it was still unclear what he was saying.
"Yes, sir."
William replied, "The captain says prepare for battle!" As he spoke, he pulled out his own rifle, loaded a round, and assumed a standard at-the-ready stance, advancing cautiously.
His eyes shone brightly in the dark of night.
"Alright, alright," Ron said with a shrug.
As he spoke, he drew his own gun.
Just then, a clear dog barking sound suddenly came from not far away. The "wang wang wang" barking sounded on the street, echoing back and forth, from afar to near, and spreading all along the street. On this originally quiet and eerie night, this sudden dog barking seemed particularly eerie. Even those with slightly smaller courage would be frightened and tremble all over.
But Ronan, on the other hand, seemed to have gained energy all of a sudden. "Hey! It's that damned dog, it must be him! My nose has already caught that disgusting smell on him. Just watch me catch him and give him a good beating!"
As he spoke, he ran through the gap between the vehicles towards the direction where the barking sound came from.
Roof top.
Qian Qian put down the tactical binoculars that Zeng Fei had used 30 points to exchange for, and said anxiously: "Zeng Fei, a helicopter has landed over there. I saw the logo of the Protection Umbrella Corporation on it. What should we do?"
Zeng Fei's eyes snapped open from his meditation, and he saw a chubby round face filled with solemnity.
"Damn it! I was right about Lixiaomu. Unexpectedly... It's really the Protective Umbrella Corporation. Hurry up and put away the blue cloth."
"Oh!"
Zeng Fei let out a deep sigh and said, "If only I had brought more money with me back then, I could have exchanged it for a set of wireless communication devices... No choice now! Even if it's the Protective Umbrella Company... giving up is already too late. Let's do this!"
