Holding an arrow shaft without a tip, he pointed at the map and said, "We'll wait for the air raid to start, then the zombies will move out of the city towards the southern highway exit..." Lin Yuan repeated the route he had discussed with Wu Tian.
"That's the route I've proposed. Does anyone have any suggestions?" Lin Yuan waited for their questions.
"Captain, what if the road is blocked by zombies? Do we have a fallback?" Wang Zhihai was the first to ask a good question.
"If we encounter a dispersed or clustered zombie group of less than 50, we'll find an opportunity to deal with them. If we encounter a clustered group of more than 50, within 2k..."
This guy could just be taken hostage then.
"It's in Xiangyang Village, south of Qu City. Captain, you can check your phone." Du Mingzhi was secretly smug. As soon as they reached his father's territory, all these weapons, ammunition, and women would be his!
Before Lin Yuan could even look at the map, Zhu Mingjun seemed to recall something, suddenly stood up, and said to Lin Yuan, "Captain, don't go there. My grandfather is in the village next to Xiangyang Village. His father is a beast, the kind who kidnaps women and does all sorts of evil deeds. The Qu City Bureau already has evidence, and they were going to take him down this month!"
As soon as he said this, everyone stared at Du Mingzhi.
"Good heavens, I knew you had bad intentions. Hurry up and tell me if you're planning a double-cross!" Zhao Anjing also slammed the table and pointed at Du Mingzhi, her words tumbling out.
"Bang." Zhao Mengnan smacked his forehead. What was this girl saying? What do you mean, a double-cross? We're a legitimate survival team, alright!
Du Mingzhi panicked a little. His eyes darted around, and he quickly said, "You're framing me, Captain. I only know my father is the richest man in our village, and the village chief even drinks with him. He doesn't seem like someone who does evil deeds! If you don't believe me, ask Ziqi. She knows my father isn't a bad person."
Jiang Ziqi, who had regained some of her spirit, shook her head repeatedly, "Captain, I have indeed met his father once. Although I didn't see anything suspicious, I'm also not sure about the facts."
She didn't want any further entanglement with him. The current predicament was half her fault and half the fault of this glib liar.
"Captain, don't believe him!"
Wang Zhihai and the other two SWAT officers remained silent. They listened to Lin Yuan and didn't want to interfere too much with his judgment.
"Alright, let's drop this matter." Lin Yuan signaled Zhao Anjing and the others to sit down and said to Du Mingzhi, "You know the truth of the matter. However, as long as you obey orders and don't do anything to harm the team, I won't do anything to you."
He said these pleasantries, but Lin Yuan already had a plan in mind. If he really hadn't done anything, he would just keep a distance and be wary of him. But now, his intentions were as clear as day to everyone.
What an idiot.
The unpleasant atmosphere improved with Lin Yuan's mediation, as if nothing had happened, and they chatted about all sorts of things.
"I'm sorry, Captain. I've really troubled you. Not only did you save my life, but regarding my ex-boyfriend's affairs, I really don't know much. But perhaps I was too slow-witted. In the year we were together, I didn't notice anything."
When it was time to sleep, Jiang Ziqi stood at the doorway, repeatedly apologizing. Her right hand had been bandaged. Now, except for her head, her body was split down the middle into two different forms.
The left side was still human, while the right side had turned into a zombie. Black veins covered her skin, the color looking like it had been scorched. It felt like a hardened protective layer.
She didn't resemble any zombie they had seen before. There were no mushrooms growing, and although her tentacles were somewhat similar, these tentacles were also black. Unlike the rest of her body, they were covered in intricate, dark red patterns resembling blood vessels.
To be honest, she looked quite cool, just a bit thin and overall disproportionate.
"It's fine. Stay with the team properly from now on. As for your situation, when rescue arrives, they might ask you to undergo some experiments. Don't worry too much; it'll probably just be drawing blood or taking X-rays."
He didn't believe the country would conduct cruel human experiments on its own people.
"It's okay, Captain. I'm not afraid. Even like this, I'm still happy."
"Hahaha, good. Eat as much as you can these few days to recover your strength. Look at you now, you've become as thin as a lightning bolt."
"Oh, right, Captain, my ex-boyfriend had a taser. He said he bought it for self-defense. I saw him carrying it when we came out today, but I don't know where he put it," Jiang Ziqi suddenly remembered something and ran back to tell Lin Yuan.
After chatting with Mu Qingtian and Lin Qingyan for a while longer, she went back to sleep.
"Oh, Lin Yuan, chatting for so long. Are you having fun talking to beautiful girls! I'm angry ☄ฺ(◣д◢)☄ฺ!"
Then she pinched his cheek (～￣▽￣)→))*￣▽￣*)o.
"Wife, let's go back to sleep quickly." Lin Yuan's face was squeezed into a bun, and his words were muffled.
In the quiet of the night, when everyone was asleep, faint footsteps sounded from the room next to Zhao Mengnan's.
The door was opened, and the creaking sound almost startled the figure.
"This crappy door." Muttering an insult, he groped his way towards the living room where the weapons were kept.
The rain outside had stopped. The moonlight filtering in was as clean as if it had been washed by water, illuminating the room slightly.
Searching for the gun, Du Mingzhi suddenly saw something that nearly scared him to death.
Someone was sitting next to the weapon case!
About to be discovered?
Du Mingzhi almost fell to his knees, almost dropping the item in his hand. But after standing still for a moment, he realized the person on guard seemed to have fallen asleep.
He then patted his chest, vowing to kill this person first once he got the gun.
Not listening to the radio, he couldn't even figure out that the sound of gunfire would attract zombies.
The weapon case was covered with a lid. The airdrop didn't provide a lock, only a lid.
Lifting the lid, he saw the thing he had dreamed of since childhood. He quickly took the magazines and bullets and filled them. Just as he loaded the magazine.
A loud bang erupted from behind: "Who's the thief!"
"Combat team, assemble!!" This was a shout into the walkie-talkie.
In less than 10 seconds, the combat team members were already in the living room. Except for Zhao Anjing, who was in her pajamas, everyone else was in combat gear. Lin Yuan's instruction was that combat gear must be kept in an accessible place and arranged like firefighters, with pants and shoes together, for quick donning.
"Yo, it's really a taser?"
Du Mingzhi was already standing to the side, pointing the gun at Lin Yuan. Wang Zhihai's hand was slightly numb from being hit by the taser, so he hadn't grabbed him immediately.
"Don't move, everyone. If you move again, I'll kill your captain. Listen to me now!"
Surrounded by so many people, Du Mingzhi was a bit outwardly fierce, but his hand holding the gun didn't tremble, which somewhat surprised Lin Yuan.
Did he learn that from his father?
Wu Tian first blocked in front of Lin Yuan, followed by the other team members.
They didn't know about Lin Yuan's and Mu Qingtian and Wang Zhihai's plan.
"Everyone, don't block in front of me. I won't die so easily."
Wu Tian glanced at them, then stepped aside, holding his gun pointed at Du Mingzhi.
"Du Mingzhi, I'll give you a chance. Put down the gun, and I'll give you a gun and let you go."
"Idiot!" Du Mingzhi didn't listen and directly pulled the trigger.
Of course, it didn't fire because the firing pin connected to the trigger had been removed beforehand.
What happened?
Before Du Mingzhi could even comprehend, he was apprehended.
What a shame, I gave you a chance, but you were useless!
"Idiot."
Now killing him was justified, and he felt much more at ease.
