Chapter 280: Chapter 279: The Man in the Hat

The members of the Security Bureau appeared exceptionally tense and silent, until more than ten minutes later, one of them suddenly stopped walking.

A young man with fair skin and two fresh blood marks on his chest, his name was Wang Wu.

”What’s wrong? Wang Wu.”

Hao Yi stopped and turned his head to look at him.

Wang Wu hesitated and said, ”Squad Leader, we might need to stop advancing now, it’s meaningless, and your injuries are severe and not enough to support us moving forward.”

While speaking, the others all turned to Hao Yi, clearly agreeing with the suggestion, whatever their motives might be.

Su Changxing’s mouth curled up without speaking, appearing as if watching a show. Although fearless in battle, it didn’t mean they were truly fearless.

People are complex beings; bravery and cowardice are merely a thought apart.

Hao Yi remained silent, the blood soaking large chunks of his clothing, leaving bloody red footprints as if stepping onto a wet beach, leaving long marks.

His face was chilly and he sternly said, ”You all know the consequences of fleeing in battle. Think it through yourself, if you want to leave, I won’t stop you.”

Injured, he looked like a sick lion, still intimidating but not as much as before.

The others were unmoved.

Wang Wu rubbed his hands, laughed awkwardly and said, ”How can we? I only made a suggestion considering the actual situation. The captain and the others are dead, and we’re like moths to a flame... It’s just Brother Su who is formidable, hence fearless.”

Hao Yi’s expression softened slightly, and he said quietly:

”Since some have died, we can’t give up; otherwise, those who died would have died in vain.”

With these words, the atmosphere in the team slightly relaxed.

After walking for more than half an hour, a surfing sound vaguely came from the front.

”Wait a minute.”

Su Changxing suddenly stopped and said, ”There’s something happening; let’s go upstairs and take a look.”

Hao Yi nodded and led the people to follow Su Changxing to the rooftop of a nearby building.

The view here was decent, able to see far.

”This... so many zombies.”

A woman named Ling Ya looked at the scene in front of her, too shocked to speak.

Extremely exaggerated.

As far as the eye could see, there were dense zombies stretching to the end of the street, forming a boundary like a tide, one side with zombies, the other a deserted street.

The night breeze retained the stench unique to zombies, foul and pungent.

This resembled the scene at Shield Company, only the scale much larger.

But this direction seems to be the direction of Shield Company...

Everything seems to return to the starting point.

Su Changxing stood there, recalling last time seeing such a scene with Huang Biao, not long ago, just days before.

”These zombies are congregated here by some kind of force, are they the Hunters?”

Hao Yi took out his phone, reported the situation to the settlement, and said,

”The captain and others are submerged in this sea of zombies; we don’t know the exact situation.”

Ling Ya was silent for a moment and said, ”Doesn’t this mean we’re also in danger? The captain and others shouldn’t charge in.”

Su Changxing couldn’t imagine how hundreds could be wiped out so quickly; these weren’t pigs but hundreds of people with considerable combat power.

Teng Beng?

Or who?

Su Changxing leaned on the railing and said while looking at his phone, ”What do you say next? We can’t possibly charge against these zombies.”

Hao Yi’s face was pale, due to excessive blood loss, and he said:

”Wait for others, there will be people coming to assist us. We’ll just wait here.”

It seems the Security Bureau hasn’t given up.

Su Changxing nodded and said, ”You better step back a bit; these zombies could riot at any time. That being the case, I’ll leave first.”

”Hmm, thank you for your help.”

Hao Yi expressed gratitude again, saying, ”Brother Su, it’s still dangerous around here, do you have anything important to do?”

Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, ”Walk around, see the situation nearby.”

After speaking, he flipped over the railing, slid down the building’s exterior with skillful moves, as if done a thousand times before, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

Wang Wu watched Su Changxing leave in an absurd manner and turned his head toward Hao Yi:

”Captain, he must be an Extraordinary, I somehow feel familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere.”

”Seen him where?”

Ling Ya thought for a moment and said, ”Maybe before the apocalypse, you might have seen him in the real world.”

”Cough cough cough~”

Hao Yi coughed, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

”Squad Leader!”

Ling Ya rushed forward to assist.

Hao Yi said with sharp eyes, ”Let’s go, we need to leave this place now; those zombies seem to be moving.”

He had been holding on all along, like burning his own energy, still maintaining a good status despite severe injuries.

······

The zombies were continuously moving north, and the boundary line was shifting.

Su Changxing walked along the edge of the undead tide towards the other end, without any intention of forcing through; it’s unrealistic and unnecessary. It wasn’t his goal tonight.

If nothing is gained, he intended to leave this troublesome place; no need to linger here.

Until now, the progress of various teams in the settlement seemed quite good, having acquired several dozen Mysterious Shops, though losses were significant too.

Unable to determine specifics, but seven or eight teams had completely lost contact.

Tao Yi hovered on the edge of the undead tide, constantly harvesting zombies, noticeably feeling her speed increasing.

As a sentient being, she possessed the ability to learn, even without consuming souls, could strengthen combat techniques in this way.

This made her not much different from humans.

This also gave Su Changxing the familiar feeling of pet-raising, like game pets, bringing pet along to grind on low-level monsters, farm experience.

”Hmm, this is the taste.”

Su Changxing considered whether to release the Evil Spirit too, to slaughter these zombies, despite little effect, some kills were better than none, always useful.

”Hmm?”

Su Changxing keenly noticed his clothes moving unusually, as if pulled by some force.

A bright cold light flashed in the moonlit night, followed by a sharp sound.

Su Changxing watched the flying cold light, making no move, as it couldn’t hit him, nor had killing intent.

A weapon with only a blade flew across his cheek, pierced through a nearby abandoned car, embedded in the ground, its penetration power frightening.

”Looks like there will be a good harvest tonight.”

A cheerful voice.

A tall, upright man in a dark grey coat and deep brown cowboy hat appeared not far away.

Curiously, he wore sunglasses on such a pitch-black night.
