After formally announcing the formation of the team, Lin Yuan shook hands with the six people behind Wang Zhihai.
"Normally, after our team is formed, we should have a good meal together. But now, Wu Tian and I still need to clear the remaining zombies in the corridors of these two buildings. You are exhausted, so you can rest upstairs. Of course, if you want to come and watch, you can."
Since they were already a team, there was no need to question their true thoughts if they trusted them. He believed in his and Wu Tian's judgment.
Entrusting the rear to them with confidence was also a form of trust.
"Captain, Meng Nan and I will accompany you. Firstly, we have guns and can help in any emergency. Secondly, it's also a learning opportunity to see your tactics."
Wang Zhihai was a SWAT officer. Although he had some experience with cold weapons, he was proficient with daggers. He had some contact with longer cold weapons but wasn't very skilled. He was there to learn. After all, among the three SWAT officers, the only one with a silencer was Meng Nan's new submachine gun, and it only had five rounds left.
In the future, they would inevitably have to fight with long cold weapons, so it would be good to get some reference beforehand.
"I won't be humble about this captain title. You can come along. It's a good chance for you to broaden your horizons and see how we kill zombies, ha ha ha!" Lin Yuan was thick-skinned and accepted the title of captain without modesty.
"Alright, when do we set off?"
"Now!" Lin Yuan replied, "Mengyao, grab the binoculars and observe the situation. Your sister and I will set off immediately."
Neither of them changed their clothes. They simply zipped up their jackets, buttoned them, put on their motorcycle helmets, and grabbed their weapons and equipment before setting off.
Wang Zhihai and Zhao Mengnan exchanged a look and followed closely behind them.
There were still zombies in Wu Tian's former building, and they were quite close. If not for the three gunshots just now, these three zombies that had already broken through the barricade might have reached the rooftop.
According to the information provided by Wu Mengyao, these three zombies were lurking on the 12th floor.
"Old Wu, the formation will be the same as when we went out to rescue them earlier. I'll go first, you follow behind. If we encounter zombies, I'll hold them off, and then you shoot arrows. Aim for the head and neck."
After confirming their respective combat targets, Lin Yuan and Wu Tian descended from the 13th floor to the 12th floor.
The three zombies were already near the stairwell. As soon as they heard the commotion, they rushed up, disregarding everything else.
Unfortunately, these inflexible zombies were not yet at the "Fungal Monster" level. After only a few steps, they bumped into the stairs. Fortunately, their heads had become harder, unlike in the beginning when their heads hit the edges of the stairs, and they were gone.
However, they had the advantage of numbers, with three of them. Two zombies propped themselves up on the stairs, paving the way for the third one.
It smelled the scent of food in front of it, fresh and lively, which would surely satisfy its long-starved stomach. It accelerated directly upwards.
But when it got close, it saw that the person in front was holding up a shield slightly smaller than a door panel.
With a "dong" sound, the entire stairwell of that floor echoed with the sound of the zombie crashing into the shield.
Does it sound good? If it sounds good, then good head!
The zombie was dazed by the impact. It lost its balance and was about to fall backward. Before it could completely fall, Wu Tian shot another arrow. This time, the arrow pierced from its chin and went straight through to the crown of its head.
Finally, it wasn't as strenuous as fighting Nightmares, where the arrows couldn't even break their defenses and could only be stuck in their heads as decoration.
A single blow to kill.
The two didn't stop. They rushed forward and, with swift strikes of their axes, smashed the heads of the zombies that hadn't gotten up yet, almost shattering them.
Wu Tian was not weak, only relatively weaker than Lin Yuan.
This scene stunned the two SWAT officers who were ready to act at any moment.
It was that simple?
In their eyes, Lin Yuan and Wu Tian simply stood at the entrance of the corridor, knocked on the wall, and then the zombies rushed to their deaths. It was worse than the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather; they had no power to fight back.
"This... is truly..."
"No need for 'truly,' hurry up and follow us to watch."
Zhao Mengnan was interrupted by Wang Zhihai before he could finish.
The two followed. This was a good opportunity to learn. They already had a foundation, and these things were easy to grasp with a little guidance.
On the rooftop, a group of people surrounded Wu Mengyao, watching the scene in the opposite building. They didn't need to look that closely, so they didn't use the binoculars.
They only knew that three zombies had rushed up, and then, less than five minutes later, Lin Yuan and the others came down, followed closely by Wang Zhihai and the others.
"Holy crap? It's over already?" Zhu Mingjun and Zhao Anjing exclaimed in surprise.
The zombies that were like super soldiers in their eyes were resolved just like that?
The two nurses also opened their mouths wide and turned to ask Mu Qingtian, who was also a SWAT officer.
"Sister Qingtian, did Captain Wang shoot?"
Mu Qingtian shook her head, "No, at such close range, even with Meng Nan's silenced gun, you could hear the noise. It must have been Captain Lin Yuan and his girlfriend who dealt with them."
"Ah?! That's too powerful!"
It wasn't surprising they thought this way, given the zombies' immense strength, almost double that of ordinary humans. But they encountered Lin Yuan, this inhuman freak.
Wu Tian's estimation of Lin Yuan's strength was actually inaccurate because Lin Yuan was holding back. His true strength was about five times that of an ordinary person. Otherwise, how could he have only taken a few steps back under the full attack of a Nightmare and still have the strength to counterattack?
After all, according to the official reports from China, the strength of mutated creatures exceeding level 2 had broken through conventional understanding.
Therefore, ordinary zombies, or even fully formed Fungal Monsters, couldn't match Lin Yuan in a head-on collision.
The four of them, one after another, reached the stairwell entrance on the 7th floor. The remaining six zombies still had three clinging to the barricade, showing no inclination to jump over, being firmly blocked.
Lin Yuan and Wu Tian both smiled. One set aside his wooden shield and picked up a wood-cutting axe, while the other slung his bow across his back, took off his wooden spear, and the sharpened iron tip of the spear gleamed brilliantly in the sun.
Opening watermelons was the most satisfying thing. Just chop away!
Although the zombies' heads were swaying left and right, as Lin Yuan and the others approached, the scent of food grew stronger, and the swaying of their heads naturally lessened.
This was even better.
Lin Yuan swung his axe down, splitting a zombie's head clean in half, stopping only at the neck. He didn't want to splatter the entire corridor.
On the other side, Wu Tian also pierced through the neck of another zombie with his spear. The remaining zombies were drawn by the sound. Lin Yuan and Wu Tian cooperated closely, either one of them using the wooden spear to pin a zombie and then decapitate it, or one using the axe to immobilize a zombie before the other performed a neck-piercing surgery.
In less than seven to eight minutes, the six zombies were all dealt with.
At this point, the two turned back and said to Wang Zhihai and Zhao Mengnan with a smile, "Brother Wang, please tidy up the bodies and clear the passage. I'm afraid we might get tripped by the corpses if we encounter danger and need to retreat."
Wang Zhihai and Zhao Mengnan looked at the smiles of Lin Yuan and Wu Tian, and an inexplicable chill ran down their spines. At the same time, they felt fortunate that they had been respectful and had not harbored any greed. Otherwise, with Lin Yuan and Wu Tian's reaction speed and strength, they would have been enough to deal with them.
They quickly replied, "Alright, Captain. We'll be right there. Be careful."
"Okay, be careful when you move the bodies. Add another stab to the head. Some zombies' heads might still be mobile."
