Chapter 681

"I think we should just leave quickly. This thing is too ferocious; we really can't afford to provoke it! But why is it here? It should be dead by now!"

Zhang Su clearly remembered that Zero-Zero-Four was set on fire while fighting against the hundred thousand zombies at the Azure Dragon Corps. Could it be that it wasn't afraid of fire?

"Why? Why should it be dead?"

Shen Linrui asked the key question.

"When we saw it, it was already on fire, slaughtering its way through the zombie horde and the crowd. We didn't dare stay to watch the show, so we just bolted. Usually, zombies die when they catch fire. How did this thing survive? It really is a freak!"

Zhang Su scratched his head. On the screen, Zero-Zero-Four was lying motionless on the ruins, but judging by the direction its head was facing, it was clearly pointed toward where they were.

"Sigh, I want to ask, when Brother Zhang takes you out on missions, do you also run into so many ridiculous things?"

Duan Wuhu felt like his head was about to explode. He hadn't even figured out where the massive zombie horde was going, and now some damn modified zombie called Zero-Zero-Four had popped up. Even if he turned into Zero-Zero-Seven, it wouldn't help...

The first to reply was Bullfrog...

【In the error-free version!】

While in the vehicle, Shen Linrui communicated with Lightning again and obtained more information.

"Zero-Zero-Four is following us!"

The four members of the 'Rush to the Mountains and Seas' team exchanged glances. Truth be told, they had previously believed that zombies were completely mindless, but that notion had changed recently...

Duan Wuhu shook his head: "No deployment. We'll build a trap and lure it in; that's safer. What do you think?"

Just as the car turned a corner at an intersection, Wu Lue's voice rang out from the walkie-talkie.

"No problem!"

For a moment, three different voices came from the five members of Shen Linrui's group.

Things had reached this point, and there was nothing left to hide. Duan Wuhu took a bomb out of his backpack, pointed at the screen, and said: "This is a special bomb made by our camp. We'll use it to send it to the afterlife!"

No one knew...

Wu Lue put down the remote control, ran to the trunk, pulled out a signal transmitter, fiddled with it for a while, and then signaled for Duan Wuhu to try it.

It was as if there was an invisible thread pulling between the two sides...

But everyone knew this was not a good sign.

Shen Linrui looked at the four people who were getting more and more excited as they talked, and said with a strange expression: "Judging by what you're saying, you have a way to deal with that monster now, right? Can you share the method? We can help coordinate."

To make it easier for Wu Lue to control the drone, they had to choose one person from Zhang Su and Hong Laosi to be the driver. In the end, Zhang Su recommended Hong Laosi, who knew how to drive a three-wheeler, to be the driver.

The five looked at each other. Although the Dragon Head Camp was gone, Shen Linrui was still the leader of the group, and the other four didn't say much, leaving it to Shen Linrui to handle.

With a powerful enemy in front, if the enemy doesn't move, we move—let's run!

Wu Lue felt the pressure, knowing this task would inevitably fall on him.

"This brother, what do you mean by 'haunting us'?"

Zhang Su put on a smile that was uglier than crying: "Give me an anti-tank grenade launcher with infinite ammo and no recoil, and I can fight!"

"Little Wu, is there any way to contact the camp now?"

Shen Linrui patted his forehead and said: "Bullfrog, this doesn't concern you. We've discovered a situation here!"

Park Canyong was fully supportive, Zhou Haiquan was a bit skeptical, and Shen Linrui expressed opposition.

Several people curled their lips. If we had that thing, would we need you?

The road ahead was blocked, but the way back was fine. The eight cars turned around to take a detour, intending to put some distance between them and Zero-Zero-Four and wait for the three from Bullfrog's group in the west of the city.

Fan Donglu looked at Lu Yubo and Zhang Su and asked gloomily: "Two brothers, with the strength of our ten people, can we really not handle that monster?"

Facts proved that as long as there were no traffic rules, driving a vehicle really wasn't difficult. Hong Laosi got the hang of driving a four-wheeled motor vehicle with ease on his first try.

Yuan Huotu asked in confusion: "It's a modified zombie, so it still counts as a zombie. Zombies eat people. It's been chasing us the whole way but isn't attacking. What is it planning to do?"

Duan Wuhu also wanted to know why it was inappropriate, so he said: "Captain Shen, what do you mean by inappropriate?"

Shen Linrui's consideration was not unreasonable. The Art of War's 'Attack Strategy' chapter says: Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger; if you don't know the enemy but know yourself, you have a fifty-fifty chance; if you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will be defeated in every battle.

"I think... I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"

The current situation clearly belongs to "not knowing the enemy but knowing yourself," with a fifty-fifty chance of winning. The probability isn't small; the problem is whether to gamble, and what the consequences will be if the gamble is lost! On the screen, Zero-Zero-Four lay motionless on the broken walls, like a decoration.

"From early morning until just now, Lightning has been sensing this guy. It followed us all the way from Honggou Village. It must have been hiding in the mountains of Yunlong Valley before!"

"Everyone, wait..."

"Starting from Honggou Village, which was early this morning, this Zero-Zero-Four has been watching us in the dark. If it wanted to do something to us, why wait until now? I think since it hasn't shown obvious hostility, we shouldn't provoke it."

"With only one-tenth of the dosage, the impact range definitely won't be large. It's easy to deal with ordinary zombies, but dealing with Zero-Zero-Four requires precise deployment!"

Lu Yubo perked up. He was never used to using explosives and had long since forgotten about the bombs.

Zero-Zero-Four stood guard in the distance, neither attacking nor approaching, but the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive. Duan Wuhu suddenly clapped his hands, his eyes lighting up as he looked at Lu Yubo and the others: "How about we use that?"

"Will this work?"

"Definitely, this plan is viable!"

Without waiting for a response, he waved his hand and said: "Go, go, let's go quickly. One kilometer doesn't feel safe. Little Wu, remember to control the drone to follow us!"

When people possess sufficiently powerful force, they often prefer to use force to solve problems and are no longer willing to think about other solutions. The members of the 'Rush to the Mountains and Seas' team fell into deep thought after hearing Shen Linrui's words.

"Not bad!"

"It's useless, that damn thing is haunting us."

Duan Wuhu took out the walkie-talkie.

Planning to do what?

Everyone in the 'Rush to the Mountains and Seas' team knew what 'that' was. Zhang Su even subconsciously touched the bomb tucked in his waist bag. "Right, we have a big killer weapon. Damn it, hehe, let's kill this bastard!"

"The trap plan is certainly good. If it succeeds, everything will be fine, but if it fails—I mean, if there's even the slightest mishap and it doesn't die, will it go crazy and start attacking us?"

The vehicles braked to a stop. Since they couldn't run, they wouldn't run for now. Interestingly, not long after the vehicles stopped, Zero-Zero-Four also stopped moving. It adjusted its posture on the ruins, head facing the direction of the group, and continued to lie there.

Wu Lue's expression gradually turned gloomy. On the screen, Zero-Zero-Four was running across the ruins in a strange posture, almost unaffected by the harsh terrain, moving as if on flat ground, easily catching up to the not-so-fast cars.

"Zombies are supposed to be instinctual animals. Is it possible it still retains consciousness?" Zhou Haiquan asked. The remnants of the Dragon Head Camp nodded one after another, feeling that this made sense.

Unable to make up their minds, they had to ask the higher-ups for help.

"Then what do we do, Teacher Duan? Give us a plan, let's get it done."

"Hey, hey, Brother Zhang, it's me. Please reply if you receive this, please reply."

Whether talking or smoking, no matter what he was doing, Duan Wuhu's eyes never left the screen. Only by seeing Zero-Zero-Four staying quiet could he feel at ease.

Unlike before, when they could get a response immediately, this time two minutes passed without anyone speaking. Without waiting for Duan Wuhu's instructions, Wu Lue immediately recalibrated the signal transmitter, studied the frequency band again, and then called out.

Still no echo...
