Chapter 487 – Hunting
Editor: Zephyr04 Translator: Jhung
There was a reason why Ling Mo had said okay to Lucy –
In this plan, she would also be taking huge risks.
Although this woman said she was confident in herself, Ling Mo still decided to help her with her task.
Once this task is complete, it’ll be helpful to his plan…
Ling Mo and his party set off early in the morning of the third day. Without the Air Force Regiment’s obstruction, their traveling speed was quick when they found the correct route.
Although the zombies on the road would cause them some trouble, they were basically unhindered in their journey since most of the zombies had been led away in advance by Xiao Bai.
……
Meanwhile, inside the X-City’s Survivor Isolation Zone.
This area had completely changed into another appearance in less than a month.
Probably even Ling Mo would no longer recognize it if he were to come here again.
Not only could you see traces of war everywhere, but you could also see billowing black smoke still.
This place looked more like ruins than other places…
At the edges of the isolation zone, the survivors had blown up the roads to create gullies and filled them up with spikes made from steel bars.
Many zombie corpses had piled up inside and were being burned by raging flames.
On one side of the gully, densely packed zombies were on the streets, ready to attack
the wall of flames.
However, the war apparently allowed these zombies in X-City to evolve rapidly. Seeing the flames ahead, they no longer rushed forward without fear, but quietly waited for an opportunity.
But this kind of calmness are what make people feel nervous.
On the other side of the gully, there were high walls that had been repaired at an incredible speed.
Humans can really bring out their full potential when their existence is being threatened…
Machine guns were mounted on top of the walls and hundreds of black muzzles were facing across the road.
At the same time, several soldiers were holding rubber hoses, sprinkling oil into the gully, increasing the fire.
Looking at the tacit understanding between the humans and the zombies, you could tell that this stalemate situation had been going on for a long time.
However, the humans didn’t believe that a wall could stop these ferocious humanoid beasts. Less than 500 meters behind this high wall was another line of defense.
This defensive line could also be counted as locally made. Various squashed cars were densely packed together. They then poured the whole thing with cement and also mounted machine guns on the top.
Behind this line of defense, there was another new line of defense…
And every five hundred meters was another line of defense that extended towards the location of the real isolation zone.
The entrance here seemed to be much livelier. The survivors who came from all directions entered the isolation area through a safe passage reserved by the Falcon camp and were now registering here.
Although the isolation zone seemed to be in a desperate situation, people could still
enjoy a moment of peace here under the danger.
At least here, people could still have sex and give birth to children with confidence, couldn’t they?
If they were outside, perhaps they would be attacked by zombies halfway through their ‘work’.
As a result, the Falcon Camp quickly gained a foothold in X-City in a short time.
At this time, an SUV vehicle drove out of the isolation area.
A soldier standing guard at the entrance immediately saluted and walked forward.
Those who could drive in the isolation zone were all important people in the Falcon Camp.
Ordinary military officers couldn’t receive such extravagant treatment.
At a time like this, gasoline was a luxury and had become a non-renewable resource within a short time.
Although you no longer needed to buy it with money, you would have to rely on luck to collect it.
The man in the passenger seat put his arm out of the car window. While biting his cigarette, he said exhaustedly, “I am Zhang Yu, the deputy captain of the first special team. The guy sitting behind is our captain, Yu Wen Xuan. He also serves as the deputy chief of staff.”
PA!
The soldier immediately became tense upon hearing the names of two of them.
But then, he became curious again and glanced towards the back.
Could it be that… the person who obtained the largest promotion for their outstanding service this time in establishing the isolation zone was the person lying in the backseat with his shirt covering his head?
Although he heard of Yu Wen Xuan’s name before in rumors, he had never seen this ‘suicidal lunatic’ before.
This soldier only joined the Falcon Camp after the war. Towards Yu Wen Xuan, he only heard of his name and never met him in person.
“Umm….”
Zhang Yu had already handed him his identification card over, “Don’t worry, this guy is just exhausted.”
“Oh…”
The soldier didn’t dare ask why. After carefully inspecting the identification card, he asked, “Then, may I ask why you guys are going out this time…”
Having said so, he looked at the back of the SUV.
“Where are you guys going with this truck?”
Zhang Yu said, “We are going out to collect supplies and we have already notified Chief Su Qian Rou. Let us pass quickly.”
As he was talking, he saw Yu Wen Xuan sitting up while yawning.
The shirt slipped off, and a very haggard face appeared, almost startling the soldier.
From his point of view, this person looked like he was suffering from high levels of nicotine poisoning!
“Hurry up… I’m in a hurry to collect supplies.” Yu Wen Xuan muttered vigorously.
“With that appearance, the only thing you’re going to do is meet your maker! Don’t even talk about collecting supplies! You probably won’t even be able to come back if you meet a zombie!”
Although the soldier was shocked, he could only say this in his mind.
After watching the vehicle leave, the soldier still couldn’t calm down for a long time…
“Ahh… We actually got out.”
Zhang Yu looked back at the entrance, then leaned back on the seat, “This time we even deceived the Chief of Staff. Is it really okay?”
“Did we?” Yu Wen Xuan continued to yawn.
“FUCK YOU! Just what the hell were you doing? Why do you look like this…?” Zhang Yu couldn’t wait to jump in the back seat to grab his boss’s neckline and shake him severely.
Yu Wen Xuan opened a pair of dead fisheyes, looked ahead, and said, “The saying
goes… when Brother-in-law asks, I do…”
“Where did you hear this saying? There is no such saying anywhere, alright?!”
After Zhang Yu cursed, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, “Have you really thought about this? To be honest, I still have no idea what is going on….”
He immediately thought about the scene when Yu Wen Xuan went to find him. —-
This guy who just got a promotion didn’t want to stay home. Instead, he decided to kick down his door in the middle of the night and pull him out of bed when he was sleeping. “Zhang Yu! Contact our men and get ready to go hunting!”
“Huh? What… Also, where did you come from?” Zhang Yu asked bewilderedly.
“The city!”
Yu Wen Xuan wiped the sweat from his head, opened a pair of very excited eyes, and stared at Zhang Yu expectantly.
….
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu really wanted to kick Yu Wen Zuan.
However, for the captain who saved him numerous times in battle, Zhang Yu still immediately agreed to his orders even though he often planned on hitting him from behind or accidentally shooting him.
“Although I chose people who were trustworthy, the mission this time…”
Zhang Yu frowned, “If you’re regretting it and want to turn back now, there is still time…”
“Hehe… Don’t worry. If I said we’re going hunting, then we really are going hunting. It’s just that the thing we need to grab this time is a bit large.”
Yu Wen Xuan rubbed his eyes and lay back on his chair, “Besides, when have I ever gotten you guys killed?”
“You really have the face to say this?! When have you not?!”
After Zhang Yu glared at him, he said, “Since the loot is too big, why not discuss it with the Chief of Staff…”
“If this matter is made public, we wouldn’t be able to do it. Plus, that woman knows my true purpose very well. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to let me take out so many people this time.”
Yu Wen Xuan stretched his neck and said, “Moreover, our first stop isn’t where the prey is staying, but his next door. If you want to fight a tiger, you must first catch the little fox [1] next to him, which is the smartest one, right?”
“When you ask me this question, does it ever occur to you that I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!? You should at least tell me now, no?”
“Aiya, there’s no need to rush~”
“Stop fucking with me and just tell me already!”
[1] – This is a saying that if you are going to fight, you should always take out the smart one’s first. The fox is basically a sly and treacherous person.
