Chapter 169: Chapter 167 Hide and Seek Game_1

After killing the obnoxious, show-off sergeant, Wen Yixian beckoned to a soldier from the Guanglan Base who was nearby.

"Find out all the people under Tang Ye, including Tang Ye himself, then photocopy their photos and post them as wanted in every corner of the base. Give me the last copy. I want to look at their profiles."

"Yes, sir!"

The soldier responded loudly and then ran off. After a while, he came back holding several files and handed them to Wen Yixian.

"Report! All the others have been found, but there’s no information or photos of Tang Ye!"

"Alright, you can go now. Inform the soldiers below to patrol and make sure to find that zombie!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

The shrill alarm woke up countless survivors who were in slumber, making numerous uninitiated new humans feel uneasy.

Some survivors panicked as they had arrived early and knew what the alarm signal meant.

But others looked utterly clueless, not knowing what was going on.

"Old man, what’s with this alarm? It’s bloody noisy!"

A young man with blue-dyed hair passed a piece of bread to an old man squatting on the ground.

The old man took a look and the wrinkles on his face broke into a smile. But before reaching for the bread, he wiped his hands on his clothes, took out a half-smoked cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.

"It’s nothing, just a small group of zombies attacking from the outside. Don’t panic, they’ll be gone soon. It’s been a while since we’ve heard this alarm, sigh."

Seeing the old man not accepting the bread in his hand, the young man could no longer maintain this gesture and started to bite the bread while muttering, "Take it if you want."

The old man was not in a hurry, savoring his cigarette. At this time, red and blue warning lights outside kept flashing.

"All residents, please be advised that zombies have entered the base. Please stay in your rooms and do not come out!"

"All residents, please be aware..."

The loudspeakers startled the old man, causing the cigarette to fall from his mouth onto the ground, and the blue-haired young man was also taken aback.

"What? Did...did he say zombies are in the base?"

"What’s going on?"

Patrol cars roamed the streets, and the unsettling sounds from the loudspeakers stirred panic among the people.

...

"There should be no one outside now. We can go out!" Li Xiaoyan said, crouching at the door, listening to the sounds outside.

"Wait a minute, let me tie this brat on... Wait, why am I doing the tying? You, get over here!"

Chen Chaoyang tore his shirt into strips, ready to tie Nannan on his back when he realized something was wrong and called Li Xiaoyan over.

Li Xiaoyan reluctantly went over, picked up the nonchalant Nannan, and with Chen Chaoyang’s help, tied her to himself. Then they quietly opened the door and walked out.

It was around four in the morning. The sky was still not light yet. Being winter, the dawn came later. The night sky was still thick, filled with the unique ambiance of a post-apocalyptic world.

The corridor was pitch dark. Fortunately, the senses of the new humans were heightened, allowing them to see clearly even in the dark.

Clip-clop-clip-clop...!

A series of orderly footsteps echoed from behind them. Their hearts skipped a beat. Both of them simultaneously reached for a nearby door. But upon turning the doorknob, they found it locked!

Seeing the door locked, Chen Chaoyang became flustered. He wanted to speak out but was afraid of attracting the attention of the approaching people. Li Xiaoyan was madly gesturing in the dark, but how could Chen Chaoyang pay attention to that?

Beams of flashlight shone on the winding corridor behind them. Taking a closer look, Chen Chaoyang saw they were soldiers in military uniforms!

Ignoring Li Xiaoyan’s attempt to hold him back, he pushed him away, raised his rifle, and shot frantically at the approaching soldiers!

Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang!

The soldiers didn’t notice them at first. But the sudden gunfire caught them totally off guard!

"All prepare for combat, we are under attack!"

Chen Chaoyang gained the upper hand and had killed two or three soldiers. However, when the soldiers reacted, they also raised their guns to fight back!

The sound of gunfire filled the air. The fiery muzzles flickered in the dark.

"Run!"

Knowing they were outmatched, Chen Chaoyang immediately turned and ran. Li Xiaoyan almost passed out from rage at Chen Chaoyang’s reckless act.

Originally, they could have pretended and slipped past. But now, Chen Chaoyang had angered them...

Not wanting to linger, he also turned and ran.

In the dark, visibility was naturally poor. Both Chen Chaoyang and the group of soldiers were firing blindly, trying to suppress their opponents with firepower!

Looking at his soldiers, the team leader grimaced and angrily said, "Are you assholes fucking stupid? What the hell are you shooting at? Did you forget your training? Throw some flares, goddammit!"

The group of soldiers were all raw recruits. It was understandable that they instinctively fought back when confronted with a battle and forgot some combat methods. Hearing their leader swearing, a few quickly reacted, stopped shooting, and threw out flares from their waists!

Clang!

Five or six flares fell to the ground, emitting a red light that brightly lit up the surroundings. But where were Chen Chaoyang and the other guy?

The team leader turned purple with rage!

"For fuck’s sake! Are you all morons? Why did you throw it all at once? They’ve escaped, you bunch of idiots!"

"Don’t just stand there! Quick, chase them! If you don’t catch them, none of you will sleep. Run fifty laps at dawn! No, one hundred and fifty laps! I’ll run you guys to death, fuck!"

"..."

The team leader was spitting furious words, almost having a meltdown as he let out every possible curse word.

The soldiers recovered from the shock and gave chase earnestly. The thought of running more than a hundred laps without sleeping upset them greatly.

They hoped the team leader was just joking. But he didn’t seem to be the type to make jokes. In the army, he was a demon!

One hundred and fifty laps, just thinking about it was horrifying. Given their physical condition, they could probably only manage ten laps. And they couldn’t even sleep!

Thinking about it made the soldiers resentful. They resented their team leader and the person who had shot at them.

If it hadn’t been for the person who shot at them, they wouldn’t have been in this predicament. When dawn came, they could have skipped a day of training, enjoyed a day off, or had a good day’s sleep.

The corridors in the government building were like a maze that left the two men feeling dizzy. When they came to a junction, they stopped and saw several shadows in the darkness. Panicking, they hurriedly took another corridor.

Playing a game of hide and seek in the darkness...
