"Commander Li, are we really going to go back to Shaluo County with them?"

The person asking the question was Dean Wang, who was fifty years old and had previously served as the principal of the affiliated science and technology college of Wudu University.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen people sitting in front of Li Yong, divided into three camps.

One was a military special forces team led by Li Yong, another was a sequence awakener team led by college students like Zhang Mu, and the third was a school staff team led by teachers like Dean Wang.

It's clear that the survivor team is not united.

"Commander Li, you've seen the situation in Shaluo County. It's full of monsters and strange things. We're extremely lucky to have escaped."

"If we turn back now, aren't we just going back to our deaths?"

Some people in the crowd nodded in agreement; clearly, their experience in Shaluo County had left them with psychological trauma.

"I think we should go with them."

Zhang Mu suddenly spoke up.

"You all saw that water monster. We all tried our best, but we couldn't kill it."

"But Captain Zheng only threw out a paper figure, and that terrifying water monster was brutally killed. He didn't even lift a finger himself."

"The opponent's strength is absolutely unfathomable!"

"Even a powerful expert like him says it's dangerous ahead; going there would only be suicide!"

Dean Wang frowned, not expecting that even Zhang Mu was willing to go back.

"But have you ever considered that he's lying to us!"

"This is already the end of the world, how can you easily trust others? Besides, look at him, he's covered in tattoos and has such dark circles under his eyes, he doesn't look like a good person at all."

"If he's deliberately lying to us and has ulterior motives, we'll regret it too late if we follow him!"

"Why don't we just keep going and check out Sanqiao County? If the situation is really dangerous, we can turn back later."

Dean Wang's words instantly resonated with many, clearly demonstrating that this was the most rational judgment.

"Commander Li, what do you think?"

Dean Wang finally looked at Li Yong. As a member of the military, Li Yong was the one with the most authority in the team.

Seeing everyone looking at him, and knowing they were waiting for his decision, Li Yong slowly began to speak.

"I'm going to go with them back to Shaluo County!"

Upon hearing this, Dean Wang, who was standing to the side, frowned, seemingly somewhat annoyed.

"Commander Li, why? I don't think these strangers are trustworthy at all, especially that Zheng Sheng."

Li Yong paused for a moment before explaining.

"For no particular reason, I just think he's very strong!"

"Moreover, Professor Bai is still in Shaluo County; he might not be dead yet..."

Professor Bai is the youngest and most authoritative biological expert in the building, and he is the target of their mission in Shaluo County.

It is also the highest level of secret, classified as S, in the Spark Program list.

The Black Tide has begun to indiscriminately devour the human world, and the entire building is now at its most critical moment.

Humanity's flame must be preserved!

If we can rescue Professor Bai, it will be worth it even if everyone here dies!

"Professor Bai..." Dean Wang murmured the name, his face growing increasingly grim. He knew that Li Yong was beyond persuasion.

"Fine, you can go back if you want. I'm not going back to Shaluo County to die!"

"Liao Wenchang, let's go!"

As Dean Wang spoke, he led Liao Wenchang and a group of teachers away from the crowd and began recruiting people from the survivors' ranks, preparing to leave together.

"Dean, do we really have to separate from Li Yong and the others?"

Liao Wenchang frowned, clearly unwilling to leave the military and still hoping for rescue.

Dean Wang noticed Liao Wenchang's unease and patted him on the shoulder.

"Wenchang, don't worry. I already told you, I've also awakened my sequence, and I'm even stronger than Zhang Mu!"

"I originally planned to use that water monster to win people's hearts and gradually take control of the entire team, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, and unfortunately, I almost succeeded!"

"Separation is fine too. My priority is [Manager]. Leaving them will allow me to take control of the entire team more quickly. Then I can harness the power of a hundred people and kill any monster or demon!"

"Walk!"

Dean Wang patted his large belly, clearly indicating that everything was going according to plan.

……

"Captain, why are we exchanging so many guns and bullets?" Luo Hao looked at the guns Zheng Sheng brought back with a puzzled expression.

"This thing can't kill ghosts, it's useless!"

Seeing his disgusted expression, Zheng Sheng gave his loli-like face a playful slap.

"It's indeed useless against the supernatural, but it's very useful against people."

Although firearms cannot cause substantial damage to the supernatural, they are, after all, the fruits of human technology and are still very destructive.

If you encounter a team of survivors, firearms are obviously more threatening.

For example, if Grandpa Niu's physique exceeded the normal human limit by more than twice, he would probably be taken down with a single shot.

His physical abilities have reached more than four times the human limit, allowing him to fight his way in and out of monsters using black dog blood. However, if he is pointed at by a dozen gun barrels, he can only stare helplessly.

Unless he regains his dominance using survival points.

At least for those of lower ranks, the power of guns and cannons is still very great and terrifying.

Grandpa Liu, who was standing to the side, nodded.

"Indeed, no matter how skilled you are, you can still be taken down with a single shot."

Zheng Sheng carefully put away the gun and bullets, and even hung the five grenades on his body, hiding them close to his body.

He wanted these weapons and equipment partly to deal with superhumans, and partly to upgrade them later using survival points.

Moreover, although these firearms cannot currently harm the supernatural, who knows, maybe in the future some methods can be developed to deal with them.

After all, he can use his survival stats to enhance himself, and perhaps he can develop his skills in the direction of enchanted weapons.

……

The next day.

It was just dawn.

The group continued on its way, but split into two groups, each heading in completely opposite directions.

Dean Wang seemed to have great prestige among the survivors. Although Zheng Sheng had already informed them that there might be nightmare-level monsters ahead, more than a hundred people were still willing to follow him.

He even brought along Liao Wenchang, the awakened one of the [Lawyer] sequence.

The remaining two hundred or so people still trusted the military more and were willing to follow Li Yong and others.

More importantly, Zhang Mu and other sequence awakeners were also in the team.

"Zhang Yang, didn't you say yesterday that you'd rather die than go back to Shaluo County? Why didn't you go with Fatty Wang?"

Chen Pan looked at Zhang Yang with amusement. Although Zhang Yang had been shouting loudly yesterday, he hadn't actually left in the end.

"Tch, if it were Commander Li, I'd go with him, but this idiot Fatty Wang, I'd rather die than go with him."

"I don't know what these people were thinking. Didn't they get ripped off by him on the way here?"

Zhang Mu nodded. In terms of survival and combat experience, Commander Li and his men were clearly more reliable.

"I rolled my eyes at Captain Zheng; he gave me a very unusual feeling."

"Very strong!"

Upon hearing Zhang Mu's words, the group immediately became interested.

Zhang Mu is a B-level [Spiritual Eye] sequence. In addition to being able to see strange things, his eyes actually have many other wonderful uses.

"Zhang Mu, is he really that strong?"

Zhang Mu Ning nodded.

"Judging solely from his physical strength, he's at least four times stronger than me!"

"And that doesn't even include his other abilities!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

His physical strength is already four times that of Zhang Mu, so isn't he already like a little superman!
