"Sorry, guys..."

Louis scratched his head, slightly embarrassed.

He was kind-hearted by nature and felt very guilty about Old Bill's scheme against Yukino and the others.

After all, the other party was not lying, and came with sincerity to save people.

"1.2.3...6.7..."

"Huh, why is one person missing?" Louis blinked in confusion, making sure he hadn't miscounted.

"Oh!"

The words just fell.

A gunshot rang out from afar, instantly shattering the silence and leaving Bill and his three companions frozen in disbelief.

Being plotted!

The other side actually had a sniper hidden there...

They were careless!

"Gentlemen, I treat people with sincerity, and this is how you treat my people?"

Shiraha's cold voice came from the radio on Yukino's waist.

A leaf drifted slowly down and landed on old Bill's dirty hat.

His breath hitched, his heart raced, and he felt a slight numbness in his hands and feet.

Sharpshooter!

The other party must be a seasoned sharpshooter...

As a retired Vietnam War veteran, Bill knew all too well the difficulty of shooting this far from here.

He chose the motel as his campsite because the woods there were very dense, making it quite difficult for a sniper to aim.

However, the opponent still managed to pinpoint his location with his seasoned marksmanship.

The falling leaves were a warning from Bai Yu.

Old Bill believed that if the other party wanted, they could make his head explode into a watermelon on the spot.

"Now, can we have a proper talk, all four of you?"

Yukino stepped out from under Zoe's gun with a cold expression.

The enemy is in the open, while we are in the shadows.

Faced with this cold, unsmiling girl, the four exchanged glances and could only drop their weapons, letting Hayato Hayama take out ropes and tie them all up.

After a while.

Bai Yu, carrying an AWM sniper rifle, calmly walked out of the woods.

The person who came looked so young.

Bill and his three companions' expressions instantly turned a ghastly liver color.

These adults... were actually outsmarted by a little brat.

Are young people these days all so twisted?

To be able to hit every shot through such a dense array of obstacles is almost like the marksmanship of a sharpshooter...

......

Led by Bill and his group of four, Bai Yu and his companions arrived at their settlement.

Only then did they understand why the four-person group was able to safely enter and exit the horde of zombies.

This hotel actually has a basement that leads to the outside world.

The four of them carefully infiltrated the basement, waiting for Bai Yu and his companions to "lure them into a trap."

Who would have thought that the other side was just as cunning as they were?

He took down four people single-handedly with just one gun.

The four men accepted their defeat wholeheartedly.

[Mission Requirement 1 Completed]: Within 48 hours, successfully locate the survivors - Bill, Francis, Louis, and Zoe. Reward: 1000 points.

"Now we can talk properly, Mr. Bill."

I casually lit the smoldering campfire in the corner.

Bai Yu suddenly drew his katana and slashed forward.

The blade flashed like mercury spilled onto the ground, swift as the wind, so dazzling that one couldn't open their eyes.

When Bill and the others opened their eyes again, they realized that Bai Yu's slash had severed the ropes binding their hands.

"Where did this little monster come from...?" Francis was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and almost couldn't help but swear.

Bai Yu is not only proficient in spearmanship, but his swordsmanship is also abnormally advanced...

The campfire crackled and popped.

The leaping flames stretched Bai Yu's shadow to an incredibly long length.

The incredibly fast silver light from just now left the four of them still in a state of prolonged shock.

"..."

Old Bill's rough fingers gently rubbed his wrist.

Only a faint chill remained there.

The rope that had been used to tie them up had been broken into several neat pieces.

He looked up at Bai Yu, his cloudy eyes no longer showing any contempt: "Just who... are you?"

Bai Yu did not answer.

Instead, they let Yukino come out and talk to the others.

Gradually, as the conversation deepened, Bill and his group of four learned about Bai Yu and his companions' ultimate goal.

- Heading to the military base in Heihe City.

“Your destination is exactly the same as ours,” Zoe sighed. “We’ve thought about it for a long time. Staying here indefinitely, aimlessly wandering and without a fixed abode, isn’t a solution.”

"Perhaps going to a military base and relying on the military for trusteeship... would be better than this constant wandering."

Francis was still staring blankly at the broken rope on his wrist when he heard this and suddenly came to his senses: "Kid, if I may be so bold, your car definitely won't make it that far. Heihe City is way too far from here."

"I don't know what kind of car you drive, but you must be low on gas right now, right?"

He kicked the gasoline can in the corner, and the can made a hollow echo. "And the gas we have left is only enough to drive ten kilometers at most."

Chapter 33 Bloodshed at the Steel Plant: A Fierce Battle for Oil!

"Do you have a solution?" Bai Yu understood the implied meaning, took out a pack of cigarettes he had prepared beforehand, and handed them to the group.

He doesn't smoke, but he knows that people like Bill do.

"I have a lead on the oil issue." Old Bill glanced at Bai Yu with a look that said, "You're pretty shrewd, kid."

He took the cigarette and took a satisfying puff.

Amidst the swirling smoke, the veteran seemed to have finally regained his former composure.

He crouched down and used a stick to draw a simple map on the soil by the campfire. "Eight kilometers to the southeast, there's an abandoned steel factory, but it's now occupied by the 'Scarface Gang'."

“Those bastards robbed several gas stations a while ago and transported all the gasoline to the steel mill.”

“These bastards blocked all the nearby intersections with big trucks and set up heavy machine guns. Most of the people around here were killed by them, or they fled far away, which is why this area is so ‘peaceful’.”

Upon hearing this, Yukino frowned: "How many people are in the Scarface Gang?"

"At least thirty men, all of them desperados with real weapons."

Old Bill slammed his cigarette butt into the words "Steel Mill" and said gravely, "Their boss is a madman called 'Scarface.' This guy used to be a gang leader... He became even more unscrupulous after the apocalypse, not only stealing oil but also capturing survivors to use as 'bait' to feed the zombies for their amusement."

"With the few men you have, trying to get oil from them is tantamount to suicide."

Hayato Hayama rubbed his temples hard: "Besides that place, aren't there any other gas stations?"

“No.” Louis shook his head: “Those beasts have already taken over this place...that’s why we’ve been forced into a corner.”

All of a sudden.

Everyone was at a loss, and the atmosphere became gloomy.

"I have a plan."

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.

For an instant.

All eyes were on Bai Yu.

"No need to send them to their deaths, just use 'zombies'."

"?"

......

The next day.

It was 4:30 a.m.

This is the time of day when the body is most tired and its defenses are weakest.

Old Bill squatted in a thicket of trees and pondered, "This method is crazy, but it works."

"But the steel mill's walls are over three meters high, and they're covered with barbed wire... We'll have to throw the bile canisters inside the walls to attract enough zombies."

"Moreover, the person who throws the can will inevitably become a sitting duck for the Scarface Gang."

“I’ll take care of throwing away the cans.” Bai Yu stood up and took out a bile can from his tactical backpack.

They checked the howitzer's ammunition again; all six shells were already loaded.

"I'll go over the plan again." Bai Yu repeated the plan to everyone.

"After the bile bottle shattered, Bill and Francis were tasked with scouting the west side gate of the steel mill, which was the weakest point in the Scarface gang's defenses."

"Zoe and Louis, you two get the fuel hoses and cans ready. Once I distract them, rush in and pump out the fuel..."

"The others followed behind me, responsible for clearing out any remaining zombies and enemies."

After assigning tasks, everyone checked their equipment.

Bai Yu distributed white phosphorus grenades and M57 grenades to the group, keeping two white phosphorus grenades for himself.

This type of grenade produces high-temperature white phosphorus upon explosion, which not only kills enemies but also has strong burning and adhesive properties.

This type of grenade was used by the US and British armies during World War II.

unconsciously.

The sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

But it will still be some time before it is completely dawn.

Bai Yu and his group stealthily made their way towards the steel plant along the bushes beside the road.

The eight-kilometer journey felt exceptionally long on foot.

When they were one kilometer away from the steel plant, Bai Yu suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

"There are two sentry posts on the east side. Let's take care of them first."

Bai Yu lowered his voice, took the AWM rifle equipped with a silencer from his back, and pointed the muzzle at the east wall.

"boom!"

The bullet made a barely audible sound.

Instead of shooting directly at the sentry post, it drew a slight arc in the air, bypassed the corner of the wall, and accurately struck the left sentry post in the temple.

Crimson splattered!

The latter's body went limp, and he collapsed silently.
