Chapter 1579 No Malice

However, although the four of them had tried to restrain their movements as much as possible when reinforcing the wall so as not to attract too much attention, the unique fluctuations and sounds produced when they used their supernatural powers inevitably reached the ears of the guards patrolling nearby.

These guards are responsible for the important duty of guarding the wall, which is related to the safety of the base all year round. Their nerves are always like taut bowstrings. They are extremely sensitive to any slight movement around them, like a frightened bird.

When the strange sound quietly entered the ears of the guards, their hearts suddenly tightened, as if they were grabbed by an invisible big hand.

Instinctively, they clenched their weapons tightly, and their knuckles turned white from the force.

In this crisis-ridden and thrilling apocalypse, danger is always around. In an instant, they think of zombies breaking through the defense line and pouring into the base like a tide, or other terrible thoughts that endanger the safety of the base.

Almost subconsciously, they immediately looked alert, walked hurriedly, and walked quickly in the direction of the four people.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The leading guard shouted loudly, and the sound was like thunder exploding in the night sky, echoing abruptly in the silent night, exceptionally loud.

Although there was a strong sense of vigilance in his shout, the experience he had accumulated over many years in the base prevented him from immediately showing strong hostility.

Although the weapon in his hand was tightly grasped and ready to go, he did not make any aggressive movements. His eyes were filled with more doubt and scrutiny, like two beams of searchlights, looking up and down at the four unfamiliar faces in front of him.

Li Luo, who noticed the movement, subconsciously stepped forward to negotiate with the guard.

However, the moment she took a step forward, Lu Jingcheng was quick to reach out and gently grabbed Li Luo's arm.

He shook his head slightly, with a soothing smile on his lips, and patted Li Luo's arm gently. When their eyes met, he indicated that he would handle the matter.

Then, Lu Jingcheng looked calm and composed, and slowly withdrew his supernatural power without panic. He quickly put on a confident and friendly smile on his face, walked towards the guard at an unhurried pace, and explained:

"Brother, we have no ill intentions. We just happened to pass by here and saw at a glance that the wall in this area is too weak. Once a large-scale zombie tide occurs, the wall may not be able to withstand it. So, we thought of helping to repair and reinforce it, which can also be regarded as doing our part for the safety of the base."

When the guard heard this, his eyes were full of suspicion. He looked up and down at the four people opposite him, and then turned his gaze to the wall they were reinforcing.

I thought to myself: These people look unfamiliar, and although their intentions may be good, this wall has always been okay. Is it really as serious as they say?

In his opinion, the zombies in the entire city had been almost cleared out by the people in the base, so a large-scale zombie tide would not be so easy to occur.

Even if it is true, how much effect can the "reinforcement" of these four people have?

"Well, we appreciate your kindness. But this wall has always been in good condition. Are you sure it is necessary to strengthen it?"

The guard's tone was a little skeptical, but still polite.

Chu Yuanqing frowned slightly and said seriously:

"Brother, we are not exaggerating. Take a close look at this wall. There are gaps and holes everywhere. I heard that a few zombies got in from the corner a few days ago. If it happens again, who can guarantee that we can be as lucky as last time?"

When the guard heard this, he was slightly startled and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face.

Indeed, the incident of those zombies crawling in from the corner of the wall some time ago made the guards very nervous for a while.

But he still said cautiously:

"That, that was just an accident, and we have already stepped up patrols. We understand your intentions, but reinforcing the wall is no small matter, and if we end up making things worse..."
