#48 - Chapter 48 It's a trap
"Luo'er, eliminate the Level 1 zombies first," Shen Wengang shouted.
The two constantly changed positions, eliminating the approaching Level 1 zombies one by one in their movements. Meanwhile, the Level 2 zombie slowly followed from a slightly farther distance, seemingly not in a hurry to attack.
When the two began to attack, the two mechanical dogs also pounced forward. However, the zombies neither dodged nor attacked them. The most likely reason was that the mechanical dogs did not possess the aura of life. Therefore, the mechanical dogs entered the zombie horde as if entering a land devoid of "people."
Each energy bar of the Guardian I laser gun could only fire a maximum of 60 shots, and the energy was quickly depleted. There were too many zombies, and they were too close, so they didn't have time to replace the energy bars. They could only take out the daggers strapped to their legs and begin hand-to-hand combat.
"Big Brother, why is it taking so long? Hasn't it ended inside yet?" one of the men hiding in the shadows outside asked.
The leading man didn't answer, frowning as he continued to listen to the movements inside.
They were the three people who had come to Mozhou with Shen Wengang and Luo'er to carry out the recruitment mission.
The scene returns to the interior of the supermarket.
Although the two weren't afraid of being bitten by zombies, there were simply too many. Before long, they were already physically exhausted.
Suddenly, the leading Level 2 zombie moved. It was incredibly fast, heading straight for Shen Wengang.
Luo'er saw this scene, and before she could even remind him, he was sent flying by a punch.
"Brother!" Luo'er shouted loudly, but she was unable to split herself due to the constant entanglement of the zombies.
Shen Wengang was caught off guard by the sudden attack, and his chest churned violently. He could only kneel there, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.
Soon, the zombies surrounded him again.
Luo'er became anxious and shouted, throwing her dagger directly.
A miraculous scene appeared. The dagger she threw didn't fall to the ground but flew back and forth in the air. After piercing through the head of one zombie, it returned and pierced through the head of another.
That's right, this was Luo'er's mutated ability: mental control.
However, due to a lack of training, and because everyone doted on her, her mastery of this ability was only so-so.
This enraged the Level 2 zombie. It let out a loud roar, and all the zombies swarmed towards Luo'er.
Seeing this scene, Shen Wengang became extremely anxious. Ignoring his pain, he stood up and quickly chased after her.
Seeing that Luo'er was about to be squeezed in the middle and unable to move, Shen Wengang, in desperation, activated the tag. 100,000 nanobots, invisible to the naked eye, surged out of his body, heading straight for the zombies.
"Luo'er, activate the tag!" Shen Wengang shouted.
Soon, the zombies began to become chaotic. They no longer besieged Luo'er but fled in all directions, flailing their arms and legs and screaming loudly. Slowly, they collapsed to the ground and stopped moving.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo'er quickly ran towards her brother, and the two mechanical dogs returned to their side after all the zombies had fallen.
Now, only the Level 2 zombie standing at the back remained.
It was furious, roaring fiercely.
The two dogs also bared their ferocious fangs, bravely guarding their master.
"Luo'er, can you still hold on?" Shen Wengang asked.
"Yes!" Luo'er nodded.
"Okay. Next, I'll use the laser gun to attract its attention, and you'll use mental control to attack the joints of its legs with the dagger," Shen Wengang instructed while replacing the laser gun's magazine.
"Okay!" Luo'er readily agreed.
"Okay! Listen to my command, ready... begin!" Shen Wengang gave the order and fired the first shot.
Luo'er reached out her hand, controlling the dagger to fly towards the Level 2 zombie's joints.
The skin of the joints was also very tough, and the dagger pierced several times in a row without breaking through.
Luo'er was already covered in sweat. This couldn't continue.
Shen Wengang decisively aimed the laser gun at the knee joint, switching to burst mode.
The high temperature caused by the continuous laser bombardment greatly weakened the hardness of the joint skin. Luo'er also understood her brother's intention and, when the joint began to turn red, struck decisively.
The dagger successfully pierced through the zombie's joint. With a cracking sound, the leg joint fractured, and the zombie lost its balance and crashed to the ground.
At this moment, Luo'er had no strength left and fainted to the ground.
Shen Wengang quickly stepped forward, grabbed the dagger, and repeatedly attacked the same spot on the zombie's head.
He didn't know how many times he stabbed, but finally, the zombie's scalp was pierced. His strength was also getting weaker and weaker, but he kept stabbing down.
The zombie no longer struggled, and the entire supermarket finally fell silent.
Shen Wengang gradually lost strength, collapsing on the zombie and falling asleep.
"Big Brother, there's no sound!" one of the men outside said.
"Shut up!" the man called老大 scolded, then pressed his ear against the wall and continued to eavesdrop.
After repeatedly confirming that there was indeed no sound, the three men cautiously walked to the door, pressed the button, and opened the closed iron gate.
They naturally didn't dare to go in, only observing from the doorway. After waiting for a long time without any special circumstances occurring, they turned and left.
......
Mozhou City, Suiyang Resettlement.
"Big Brother, the matter has been taken care of," said the leading man who had rushed back from the Mozhou city area.
"Yes, you did a good job. Go and collect your reward!" Mei Wenhua said faintly, taking a sip of tea.
"Thank you, Big Brother!" the man thanked him with a bow and left.
"President Mei, what next?" the young woman standing beside him asked.
"Let's wait for now. According to the Divine Envoy, Nan'er is likely to advance to Level 3. At this time, we must be more cautious and should not bring people over in the short term," Mei Wenhua said.
"Yes!" the woman replied.
