109 Who’s ‘Chief’? (1/2)

The two vehicles stopped about a mile away from where Du Yuanxing and his team were. No one came out of the vehicles. Instead, some people in the car were talking via interphones.

”Go and see what they're doing. Remember to hide. Don't alert the enemy or let them run.”

”Copy!”

”Let's go!”

”Yes, sir!”

At that moment, Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying, who were brought to the hotel room by Lin Qiao, had no idea that some enemies were coming for them quietly. They were still waiting for their seven teammates to wake up.

Before long, a small squad of soldiers in camouflage clothes and mufflers on their guns were scouting the surrounding area while avoiding the ordinary zombies nearby. When they found some zombies that were hard to dodge, they'd blow their heads with bullets.

Soon, following the dead bodies of zombies which piled on the road, they found the spot where Du Yuanxing and his team were saved by Lin Qiao. Next, they checked the surrounding environment and the dead zombies in that area, including the big-headed zombie which was killed by Lin Qiao with one single claw movement.

”It was a level-four spirit-powered zombie,” the squad leader pointed at the dead big-headed zombie and said.

”Captain, how did you know that?” A soldier beside him asked out of curiosity.

”I heard from others that high-level spirit-powered zombies are all short and big-headed. Look at its body! It seems that it was the combination of two zombies. I heard that this kind of zombies can't move quickly, so they always disable their targets from moving with long-range attacks first, then show up, bite their targets to death, and eat them. But, this kind of spirit-powered zombies are scarce, so their nuclei are precious.”

”Did Du Yuanxing and his people kill it? Eh? Wasn't their target the wind-powered zombie? How come it became a spirit-powered one?”

”I think some unexpected changes have happened. It seems that they've already gotten the zombie nucleus. Perhaps, the wind-powered zombie has already been killed by this spirit-powered one. After all, two high-level zombies can never show up in the same place at the same time.”

”I see!”

”Alright, cut the crap. Let's go find out where did they go. The mission is our top priority.”

”Copy!”

After checking around, this squad of soldiers headed to the surrounding areas to look for more leads. Since they had confirmed that Du Yuanxing and his team have been in this place not long ago, they believed that their targets were still nearby.

Du Yuanxing and Long Qingying failed to discover that some people were approaching them. However, the invisible Lin Qiao, who was in the room, and Qiu Lili, who was on the roof, had both sensed the scents of another group of human beings.

Without a doubt, only zombies could sense the scents of human beings so quickly. Some creatures were able to hide their vibes, but no creature could hide their scents.

Besides, Lin Qiao's sense of smell was already sharper than that of dogs by many times over. Therefore, even though the window was closed, she still sensed those newcomers.

She raised her head and gently moved to the window side, then put her nose near the gap between window glasses to sense the scents more clearly.
