#345 - Chapter 345 Using Myself as Bait
"Aaaaah!!!"
A piercing scream came from a building nearby!
Li Bowen and his team reacted instantly.
That seemed to be where Xiao Ming and his group were resting!
Something had indeed happened!
"Keep a close watch here!"
Li Bowen gave a stern order and quickened his pace towards the area where the other team members were resting downstairs!
In less than twenty seconds, he was downstairs where he had been resting earlier.
What greeted him were several team members who had already woken up!
They're okay!
Phew!
He breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It was good that whatever had come in hadn't sneaked in here; these were his precious comrades, and he didn't want to lose any of them!
"Something just came in from outside. Everyone, prepare for battle immediately! We have to take down that thing!"
After saying that, he led the team members, who were also ready for battle, and cautiously headed towards Xiao Ming's location.
Without a doubt,
in this kind of dark night,
whatever could sneak in without them noticing was most likely a mutated zombie or some other monster!
If they didn't deal with it quickly, they could forget about resting or defending themselves tonight!
The scream from Xiao Ming's side had already gone out, and there was no need to ask whether it would attract more zombies from outside!
If things continued like this, and they also had to concentrate on dealing with the mutated zombie, their situation would definitely become extremely dangerous!
Damn it!
They had just gone through a harrowing experience in the afternoon, and now it was happening again at night!?
Everyone cursed inwardly, but their pace didn't slow down at all as they quickly headed towards where Xiao Ming and the others were staying.
This process took about twenty seconds.
And during that time, another scream came from that direction!
The "thing" that came in was still wreaking havoc!
The building where Xiao Ming and the others were staying had three floors, and they had chosen to stay on the second floor.
After Li Bowen arrived at the staircase of the building where Xiao Ming was, he turned the tactical flashlight in his hand to its maximum power, and the other team members skillfully threw out several light-emitting balls.
One by one, sources of light appeared on the second floor of the building.
The scene inside finally came into everyone's view!
Three survivors covered in blood were lying on the ground, the very same members of Xiao Ming's group they had seen during dinner!
At this moment, their wide-open pupils and chests that were no longer rising and falling showed that they were dead!
In a short period of time, they had lost three members!
"Xiao Ming! Where are you? What attacked you?!"
Team Leader Li stared vigilantly at every spot in front of him, defending against any dangers that might appear at any moment.
"Team Leader Li!"
As soon as Li Bowen finished shouting, two voices came from the second floor!
One of the men crawled out from behind a sofa; it was Xiao Ming!
The other, who crawled out from behind the TV cabinet, was none other than the rider, Green!
"Help! A monster came in!"
Extreme fear appeared on Green's face. When he saw the Green Source team members arriving with guns, he rushed over, scrambling and crawling as if he had found a lifeline.
Xiao Ming was no better off, his face filled with fear and anxiety. After running to Team Leader Li's side, he said in a trembling voice:
"We were sleeping just now when we suddenly heard a scream! As soon as I turned on my lighter, I saw a dark figure pounce on Little Zhou!"
"That was definitely a zombie!"
Xiao Ming's gaze fell on one of the disfigured bodies on the ground. The nose, eyes, and ears of this former companion were gone, and even chunks of flesh had been bitten off his face!
He had definitely been gnawed on by something!
"Where did that thing go?!"
Li Bowen didn't have time to delve into these details. The most important thing now was to immediately find that thing and kill it!
Xiao Ming and Green looked at each other, then together cast their gazes towards the staircase leading to the third floor!
"Jingyi and Li An are missing! They probably escaped to the third floor!"
Xiao Ming didn't continue, because since the monster wasn't here and Team Leader Li and the others had come from the first floor, there was only one possibility!
Team Leader Li had already taken the lead and ran towards the staircase leading to the third floor as soon as he finished speaking.
He had to get rid of it as soon as possible!
Otherwise, if this thing that had sneaked in got away, they would be in trouble tonight!
"Aaaaah!!!"
Another male scream came from above!
As expected!
Li Bowen's expression remained stern, and without showing any signs of being frightened, he rushed onto the third floor.
The team members behind him didn't fall behind either, and threw the light-emitting balls they had prepared early into the interior of the third floor!
Snap!
A series of lights dispelled the darkness on the third floor, revealing the scene here to Li Bowen and the others who had arrived!
A humanoid object with slender limbs and wearing only a pair of tattered shorts was facing a woman with a terrified expression, looking ready to pounce at any moment!
But this humanoid object seemed to have had its tail stepped on. As if sensing something, it gave up on pouncing on the woman and instead quickly flashed to the side!
So fast!
Da da da!
Li Bowen opened fire!
The moment he came up and saw the scene, he was certain that this was a mutated zombie!
A mutated zombie suspected to be the Jumper he had seen before!
The instant the lights came on and Team Leader Li opened fire, this strange being had already leaped high, seemingly wanting to use its extraordinary jumping ability to avoid the danger warning from behind!
"Fire!"
Team Leader Li's hands didn't slow down as he held the submachine gun and continuously swept at the Jumper, which was rushing left and right, while shouting for the team members to provide support!
Bang bang bang!
The team members who had arrived naturally wouldn't let the captain fight alone. Having prepared themselves, they also quickly opened fire on the zombie!
"Roar!"
The Jumper was extremely fast, and repeatedly dodging and shifting, it actually avoided most of the bullets!
Only a few shots hit its body.
But these attacks that didn't hit any vital points were just insignificant to it.
The two or three hundred square meters of space had actually become a performance venue for it to display its jumping ability!
This won't do!
This place was completely the home field for this type of jumping zombie. The opponent was using obstacles and its extremely fast speed to exhaust their bullets!
Compared to the previous saturation attack with a large amount of firepower in the open area during the zombie horde, their current firepower was actually a bit insufficient! (Several external support personnel were using crossbows or pistols, and their accuracy wasn't too high.)
Li Bowen quickly came to this conclusion.
Continuing like this wouldn't work!
Unless they were lucky enough to hit the opponent's vital points, it would be even more troublesome when the ammunition was exhausted!
They still needed to save some to defend against the zombies outside!
"Stop!"
"Yao Lei! Find the right opportunity in a moment! Take it down for me!"
Li Bowen instantly had a plan in his mind. After he called a halt to the team members who were constantly firing bullets, he also stopped shooting and then took a step towards the mutated zombie!
Using himself as bait!
This was the fastest method he could think of!
With his skills, he was confident that he could withstand the opponent for a few seconds.
In these few seconds, he had to create an opportunity for his teammates to kill the opponent!
Li Bowen's gaze became more fierce than ever before.
He wanted to see if these so-called mutated zombies were really that powerful!
