Chapter 859: Chapter 855: The Tier 6 Zombie Beside Him

The news that the Third Army of the United District had begun mobilizing spread like wildfire, and countless scheming individuals, having caught wind of it, slowly revealed their ferocious smiles in the darkness, their masks disappearing into the streets and alleys.

Perhaps, this was truly a chance given by the heavens!

The next day, countless survivors surrounded the Central United District inside and out, watching as one by one, fully armed soldiers entered a massive transport plane, the explosive sound of engines roaring constantly in their ears.

The gigantic transport plane below expelled four dazzling flames, shooting straight into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

"Victory is certain!"

"Victory is certain!"

The neatly arranged Peace Party soldiers marched in uniform steps, their slogan resonating loudly, carrying an undeniable fierceness as they entered the transport plane one after another, stirring the excitement of the survivors outside as well.

Right after, tens of thousands of Death Knights, forming a knight order, appeared, causing a stir among the crowd outside.

This was the newest force of the United District, and everyone was curious whether it would be as timid as the Seven Commissioners had been in the conflicts between the Peace Party and Jiuge.

At this time, the advantage of a great power was fully evident. Under Xu Haishui’s arrangement, the War Fund began preparations, with one individual after another putting their own Yajin into the fund, hoping to have more money in hand soon.

War was extremely costly, but at the same time, it was also immensely lucrative. With the War Fund, there was no need to worry about the massive consumption of Yajin.

While this grand military operation was taking place here, something else was happening among the wastelands of Longyang City.

...

"Let’s go! Let’s get inside!"

From within a pit, a person poked his head out and yelled to those outside.

The few survivors outside tightened their grip on their weapons, glanced at the outside horde of zombies, and whispered, "Is it through?"

"It’s through, straight to the supermarket across," said a person inside the pit sneakily rolling his eyes, motioning for the survivors in front to hurry in.

"Then let’s go!"

The survivors looked at each other, seeing excitement in each other’s eyes, and then dragged over the corpse of a zombie, slit its belly open, and smeared its pus and blood on themselves to mask the human scent.

"Go, go, go!"

One by one, the survivors jumped into the pit, their eyes focused on the light filtering in from ahead, where the supermarket wall was, their hearts filling with excitement.

Although they still walked with care, their disordered steps already reflected what was on their minds.

Indeed, after emerging from the pit, they made it to the supermarket on the opposite side, where they had been trapped for several days, famished. The supermarket was only a dozen meters away, but the dense crowd of zombies made it impossible for them to cross that distance.

Out of desperation, they chose this most foolish method — digging a tunnel!

Starving for days, digging for days, at this moment, their great achievement was complete, their excitement indescribable.

Within the survivor team, a tall member, seeing the supermarket getting closer, could no longer care about anything else, hurried his steps, pushed past a few others to the front, and quickly poked his head out of the pit’s end.

After taking a quick look around the supermarket and seeing no zombies, his face brightened with joy, he praised the previous survivors in the pit, "Yao Monkey, not bad, you’ve dug to the right place."

"... Of course!"

The man known as Yao Monkey was startled but quickly beamed with joy. No matter the occasion, receiving a compliment was always delightful.

However, he was also puzzled as to why this was considered a good place. Could there be something he had overlooked?

Yet, he did not care much about that.

The tall man’s mood was visibly excellent; his face, pale from hunger over the past few days, now sported a radiant smile.

"Alright, there are no zombies outside. Everyone follow me and let’s see if there’s anything to eat inside."

"Yes!"

The others cautiously responded, following the tall man as they climbed out of the pit. After everyone had emerged, aside from the fallen cargo containers and the cluttered debris, as well as the dried, blackened blood on the ground, there was nothing else.

"There are no zombies here. You go check elsewhere, see if there are any zombies, and avoid them if possible."

"Okay!"

A few survivors divided the tasks among themselves and left the area, heading towards other parts of the supermarket, and Yao Monkey, being the last one out and too timid, reluctantly said to the tall man, "Boss, can I stay with you?"

"Hmph! I knew you were a coward. Don’t worry, considering the great deed you’ve done, just stay here with me until they return."

Yao Monkey was thrilled and thanked him repeatedly, waiting for the others to return. But at that moment, he suddenly saw constant red lights flashing from the pocket of the tall man’s clothes. He knew that inside was an anti-life substance meter taken from the United District, which was set to be silent and not alert unless it encountered a high-level zombie.

Yao Monkey’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, a sudden unease hitting him. The flashing red lights from the tall man’s pocket made him feel somewhat nervous, but after scanning the surroundings and noticing no zombies, he reassured himself.

This anti-life substance had been used for a long time, and it being a bit faulty was quite normal.

Maybe that was the case...

Meanwhile, the survivors who had ventured out were initially cautious, but after finding no zombies in the other parts of the supermarket, they became more daring. Ultimately, they discovered that there were no zombies in the supermarket at all!

This nearly made them ecstatic. They hurried back to report to the tall man, their faces filled with an expression known as happiness. However, the only exception was Yao Monkey, who looked puzzled.

Being naturally timid, he had only peeked once while breaking through the tunnel and then quickly withdrew his head to report to the tall man. And in that glance, he had distinctly seen at least three zombies at the entrance of the tunnel!

Where had they gone? Could they have left?

He momentarily suppressed his doubts and followed his companions to scavenge for food. However, after only a few steps, his attention was again drawn to the red light continuously flashing in the tall man’s pocket.

"Boss, why is the detector constantly flashing red?"

Finally, he could not resist asking the tall man.

"Hmm?"

The tall man was taken aback, looking towards his pocket, where a red light was indeed flashing incessantly.

"That’s strange."

He took out the anti-life substance, and the display, which usually showed a green interface, was now flashing several large red letters!
