"Damn it, Luezi, you're not working!"

Zhang Su patted the signal transmitter in frustration. According to his childhood experience, if this kind of electronic product didn't work, you just had to hit it!

"This isn't my problem. I can't help it if the machine has a glitch..."

Simple assembly was no problem, but repairs were a bit difficult for Wu Lue.

Duan Wuhu waved his hand and said: "Stop messing around. Captain Shen, I think we can still give it a try. The bombs we brought out are... special bombs made from that extract. As long as we detonate them precisely, we can definitely eliminate that modified zombie!"

Hearing about the explosive extract, the expressions of the five from the Dragon Head Camp were indescribable. Shen Linrui closed his eyes, frowned, then relaxed his brow and sighed: "If you think you're sure, then go ahead. What do you need us to do? We'll cooperate fully!"

"Good, let me explain..."

Duan Wuhu explained the plan in his mind. The general idea was to use dummies as bait to lure Zero-Zero-Four and then detonate the bombs.

"Teacher Duan, I'm not trying to be difficult, but what if Zero-Zero-Four doesn't fall for it?"

"I think so too. Wouldn't it be more reliable to let Luezi drop it with the drone?"

Zhang Su and Lu Yubo both expressed concerns about Duan Wuhu's trap.

"Hey!" Wu Lue got anxious: "Don't look at it lying there like a turtle now; it moves so fast. What if it dodges? I can't guarantee I can throw it accurately!"

"Give me the bomb, I'll go find it!"

Hong Laosi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, and his words shocked everyone.

"No, no, no..."

Duan Wuhu waved his hands repeatedly.

Zhang Su said with a bitter smile: "We haven't reached the point of using human lives to fill the gap."

Using a person to deliver a bomb was absolutely a suicide mission. Unless it was a last resort, the cost was too high.

The five from the Dragon Head Camp were shocked. They didn't expect the unassuming Old Hong to be a fearless warrior! They couldn't do it themselves, but they respected him.

Seeing that everyone disagreed, Hong Laosi retreated into the crowd, leaving only a sentence: find him if needed.

"If that doesn't work... let's try Teacher Duan's plan first. Even if it fails, there's no loss, right? At least there's no danger?"

"My meaning is to let Luezi drop it once. If it's accurate, we detonate it. If not, forget it. At most, we waste one bomb, and the remaining ones are enough. What if it succeeds?"

"Okay, I'll try!"

After some deliberation, they finally decided to adopt the drone bombing method first.

Shen Linrui notified the three brothers rushing over that the drone was about to perform the bombing operation.

Wu Lue made preparations, and in less than a minute, the drone flew toward Zero-Zero-Four's location with the bomb.

Originally, there was a distance of over a thousand meters between the drone and Zero-Zero-Four, and Zero-Zero-Four had no special reaction. But when the drone flew toward it, Zero-Zero-Four jumped a few times in place, circled around, and showed signs of agitation.

"It seems sensitive to the drone. Is this damn thing a zombie or a human? How about... nothing."

Zhang Su stopped mid-sentence. He couldn't let the secret of the No. 1 program leak from his mouth.

Lu Yubo took over: "They used drones during the battle with the Azure Dragon Corps. Could it have left some vague memories?"

Wu Lue stared at the screen with a furrowed brow, looking troubled: "Heaven knows. But with it jumping around like this, it's hard for me to control!"

The drone's flight speed was unquestionable, and its flexibility was also exaggerated. Various sharp turns were easy, but it wasn't autonomous tracking; it relied on human control. Wu Lue's reaction speed was average, and with Zero-Zero-Four jumping around, he couldn't capture it at all! "Like this, I have zero confidence I can hit it. Whether to try is up to you. We can gamble that it's interested in the bomb and detonate it when it gets close..."

Wu Lue asked the people beside him.

"Throw it."

Duan Wuhu made the final decision. There were four bombs, and using one for a test was completely acceptable.

Wu Lue didn't speak. After nodding, he began to control it seriously, lowering the drone's altitude, and then trying his best to find the right timing to drop the bomb. The remote control was in Duan Wuhu's hands. He stared tightly at the screen, ready to press the detonation button at any time. However, the scene on the screen made him curse directly.

"Damn it!"

Zero-Zero-Four used its hands and feet on the ruins, as agile as an ibex climbing a cliff, with the speed of a cheetah racing across the grassland. Its long, vertical pupils noticed something falling from the sky. It had no intention of catching it and, very cautiously, jumped sideways, leaping over ten meters away! Even looking at it on the screen, one could feel that the distance was exaggerated...

Pfft...

The bomb landed on the ruins, splashing up a little dust, and got stuck alone in a crack between the stones.

Duan Wuhu sighed speechlessly. There was no need to detonate it at all. Zero-Zero-Four had already run forty or fifty meters away, its attention not on the bomb at all, still gazing from afar at the place where these people were.

At such a distance, let alone a one-tenth grape equivalent, even if a whole grape were thrown down, given Zero-Zero-Four's monster-like survival strength that could withstand fire, it would likely be difficult to cause fatal damage.

"Forget it, it doesn't even care, no chance..."

Park Canyong clapped his hands and spread his arms.

If Zero-Zero-Four had looked cautiously, like a monkey on a mountain seeing a mobile phone playing a video, both afraid and curious, it would have approached to touch it after waiting a while. But this lack of interest shattered everyone's expectations.

"I feel like it must be injured or something. Little Brother Lu, you know it better. Is it not as awesome as it was back then?"

Zhang Su kept staring at the screen, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"I can feel it. It looked very agile jumping around just now, but it gave me a very weak feeling. Look, after it jumped that far, it lay down not long after, like it was exhausted!"

Lu Yubo was the one who had watched Zero-Zero-Four fight for the longest time, and his feeling was very clear.

"Strike while it's sick?"

Fan Donglu, the tough guy from the Dragon Head Camp, suggested through gritted teeth.

"To be honest... even like this, I still don't think there's even a one-in-ten chance!"

Lu Yubo shook his head and analyzed logically: "First of all, we have no idea if bullets can kill it, or how many bullets it would take. It's weak, but not exhausted. Dodging our shooting is easy. Even at a distance of two hundred meters, it could kill us in the blink of an eye!"

"We absolutely must not take risks!"

Duan Wuhu raised his hand and said: "Come on, Plan B, stop analyzing so much!"

Weak or not, who would dare risk their life to test the bottom line? Everyone worked together, taking off some clothing from their bodies, and then using stones and other debris to prop them up on the ground. From a distance, it looked like three people huddled together to warm themselves by a fire. Of course, there was no fire in the middle, but two remote-controlled bombs...

"Can this damn thing really fool that monster?"

Lu Yubo looked at the three dummies that were fake to the point of exploding, feeling very speechless.

"Let's try it. Hey, Captain Shen, notify those three brothers. We're going west, tell them to change their route and not to come over."

Everything was set, and the convoy set off again. As expected, not long after the cars drove out, Zero-Zero-Four chased after them, completely ignoring the bombs left on the ground.

The two bombs in the middle of the dummies couldn't all be remotely controlled from a super long distance. One was for a hundred-meter range, and the other could receive signals within three kilometers. It was a small trick for saving devices. There were two super-long-distance remote-controlled bombs, and they had just thrown one...

Wu Lue stared at the screen, clutching the remote control, his expression nervous, muttering: "Look at the dummies, look, there are three people there, go eat them, three people, eat them, after you eat them, go to the gates of hell... come on, come on, come on!"

On the screen, Wu Lue calculated Zero-Zero-Four's running path. If it ignored the dummies, it would pass about ten meters away!

Whether to detonate or not became a very difficult multiple-choice question.

Detonating might not necessarily cause fatal damage to Zero-Zero-Four, but if they didn't even try... the haunting guy was following behind, the pressure was huge. What if it worked? Duan Wuhu was driving. At this moment, Wu Lue couldn't communicate with him. Some things could pass through the mind very quickly, perhaps in just a second, but expressing them in language for communication took more than two minutes! "Do it!"

Wu Lue decided to gamble! The dummies were useless and didn't attract Zero-Zero-Four's attention at all. Wu Lue's prediction was very accurate; Zero-Zero-Four crawled past the dummies, about ten meters away.

Snap! The button on the remote control clicked, and the pulse light flashed, representing the signal being sent.

BOOM!
