Chapter 1340: Ambush and Be Ambushed
“Only one level-six? He sent over a hundred of them last time! Is this a joke?” Chen Yuting couldn’t help but snort with laughter after he heard what Jingyan said.
Yan Xiao leaped off the truck roof and said, “I guess he doesn’t want to fight face-to-face with us again. After all, his plan never worked.”
Jingyan looked at Chen Yuting and said, “What are you gonna do?”
Chen Yuting quickly responded, “You two take your squads to approach them from two different directions and deal them a surprise attack. They want to pretend to be robbers, so let’s pretend to be real zombies and play the game with them. I’ll keep move forward. You two first go and gather some wild zombies, and then make the move before they make any. Do you guys remember our goal?”
“Not let any of them get away… I know that,” Yan Xiao tilted her head and said with a grin.
Jingyan nodded and said, “Let’s start now!”
After saying that, she disappeared from where she was. Yan Xiao left along with her as well.
As Chen Yuting got back into the truck, the motorcade started moving forward again.
The two scouts who had their eyes on the motorcade from All Beings Base were killed by Jingyan, so the people in ambush didn’t know where Chen Yuting and his team were at the moment. But, while waiting for the message, the level-six man had also been doing the math based on the moving speed of the motorcade to estimate its current location.
He believed that his scouts would bring him more accurate information, so he didn’t pay much attention to the result he got in his head. Therefore, he missed something.
Soon, he started to grow suspicious, because the two scouts who were supposed to come back to him didn’t show up. At that very moment, he suddenly heard two zombies roar from both sides behind.
“Roarrr…”
The zombie roars were bright and resonant, seemingly to deliver some kind of message. All Huaxia people on the scene had their attention attracted to the zombie roars. The zombies sounded very close to them after all.
“What’s going on? Are they medium-leveled zombies or high-leveled?”
“I don’t know! But, something is wrong! How come two of them showed up at one time! It sounds like they’re gathering a zombie crowd!”
“Something is wrong indeed! There shouldn’t be zombies on this road! The zombies in this area should have been cleaned out long ago.”
“Maybe they’re from somewhere else. You, you and you, go and see what’s happening over there! I think those two zombies are probably up to something!”
“Yes, sir!”
The two zombies which had shown up somewhere they weren’t supposed to be were obviously not just pa.s.sing by.
As the unexpected zombie roars caught those people’s attention, Chen Yuting and his team had approached with full vigilance. They didn’t drive straight toward the ambush spot, but stopped about four-hundred meters away.
The soldiers who were sent to both sides in the back soon found large numbers of zombies gathering toward them from all directions. Those zombies weren’t shambling slowly. Instead, they were running at their highest speed with their faces twisted, teeth bared, and claws brandished. Some of them even got down on all fours and crawled like beasts.
They saw those zombies swarming madly at them but didn’t find a trace of the two that gathered those zombies. The scouts immediately realized that something very bad was happening. They turned and ran back to the others, reporting to their boss, “A small zombie crowd is coming at us from the left side!”
“The same thing is happening on the right side!” Soon, another squad returned and reported the same situation.
“Are they coming at us?” Their captain, who was also the man who talked the spy in Sea City Base into accepting this mission, said with a sullen face.
“They’re coming toward us, but we’re not yet sure if we are their target!” said one of the scouts.
The man who was supposed to find an opportunity to make a way into All Beings Base thought for a moment and said, “Those zombies are coming right in time actually. We can make them attack the team from All Beings Base. Then, you guys can follow them to launch further attacks. In that way, I think I’ll have a better chance to blend into the team. You all have the drug that can keep zombies away from you, right? I think they won’t attack you guys.”
“Take the drug now! We need to take the drug whether those zombies are coming at us or not!” The captain immediately gave an order. Then, he looked at the man and said, “I think G.o.d is helping you. If you miss a perfect chance like this and fail to get into All Being Base, I think you might not deserve to go to Huaxia Base.”
The two of them had a perfect plan. But soon, they realized that they were wrong. Two minutes later, great numbers of zombies showed up around them.
“What’s going on? Haven’t we all taken the drug already? Is there anyone who didn’t take it?” Looking at those zombies which had still been approaching him and his people, the captain scanned his soldiers with his eyes and then yelled at them.
“No!”
“No!”
“No…”
A few soldiers answered the question. Everyone had taken the drug as they were ordered to.
“Why are they still coming at us?” The captain shouted with anger and gave another order, “Fight!”
In the next second, Chen Yuting and his people who were hundreds of meters away heard all kinds of gunshots and explosion sounds.
“You guys want to play robbers and get into our base, right? Get past the zombie crowd first.” Chen Yuting stood before a truck and said. While speaking he was looking closely at a gun that was newly developed by Huaxia Base.
In the battlefield, Jingyan and Yan Xiao made eye-contact and separated, sneakily approaching the captain from both sides. Meanwhile, the zombie soldiers under their command had their eyes on the ten level-five superpower possessors.
One of those people had been moving toward the road where Chen Yuting and his team were on, with his vibe hidden as well as possible. That man possessed a special superpower. That was the power of one type of insects—color-mimicking mantis, the natural disguiser.
The mantis man was at level-five only, but his special power made him perfect for intelligence work. That was why Wei Haichao wanted him to blend into the transport team from All Beings Base and make a way into that base.
He was not only able to hide his vibe and turn himself invisible, but was also undetectable for some detectors. He was able to enter any place easily. It was hard for people to discover him!
However, the ones who were two levels or more higher than him were still able to sense his existence.
