#644 - Chapter 644 Let Them Have a Taste of It
The New Hope Expeditionary Force was resting at their designated locations.
By this time, everyone had finished eating and was preparing to rest.
Most of the lower-level members and the survivors who had joined to get a piece of the pie had no idea about the specific strategies of the New Hope higher-ups.
They thought they would spend the night around Green Source as planned, and then officially launch the attack tomorrow morning.
They could still rest for one night; there was no rush.
In the evening, the New Hope Expeditionary Force even thoughtfully distributed food, causing the refugee survivors to exclaim their benevolence.
"New Hope is great! I haven't smelled the aroma of rice in ages!"
"After eating, we'll crush Green Source base tomorrow!"
"That's right! New Hope will win this battle! They are the future hope of mankind!"
Although the food they received wasn't much, everyone who got it was very satisfied.
This was the most direct benefit.
They were just that 'simple'.
Whoever gave them more benefits, they would side with.
If Green Source did the same, these survivors who participated in the expedition might immediately turn against them.
After eating dinner, the survivors began to rest in the large buildings around the area at a certain distance from each other.
The New Hope vanguard had already scouted the terrain here and knew which places could accommodate a large number of survivors overnight.
Attracting a small number of zombies wasn't a big problem; their powerful firepower was enough to hold them off for a short time.
Besides.
The New Hope higher-ups didn't really care about these independent survivors and vassal forces who had joined them.
Once the general attack started and the battle ended, it wouldn't matter even if these people were besieged and killed by zombies!
They were just brought in to confuse Green Source and to serve as cannon fodder to attract firepower.
"Huh? Old Wang, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?"
Suddenly.
In one of the outposts, a survivor noticed that something was wrong with his companion.
He saw that his companion, who had joined the expedition with him, had a pale face covered in fine sweat, looking very unwell.
A terrible thought flashed through the survivor's mind!
"Don't move! I'll go find someone to come and take a look!"
After saying that, he quickly ran away to other places!
His companion's face looked very similar to the faces of survivors he had seen who were about to turn into zombies!
While running away, various panicked possibilities flashed through his mind.
What's going on?
Why is his companion suddenly turning into a zombie?
Could it be that some acute illness has broken out and he's about to die?
Bang—!
While running, he didn't see the road clearly and suddenly bumped into someone, and the two of them fell together.
"I'm sorry!"
The survivor was dizzy from the fall. After getting up, he touched his forehead and apologized, while thinking about getting up quickly and continuing to stay away from his companion who seemed to be turning into a zombie.
"Roar—!"
Just as he supported himself with his arms and sat up halfway, he didn't carefully check the figure he had knocked down, who had already pounced on him and bit his cheek!
Sizzle—!
Ahhh!!!
Blood splattered!
The intense pain made him unable to help but scream wildly!
He wanted to call for help from the other survivors around him, but when he looked around with his remaining eyesight, this outpost was in chaos.
Complete chaos.
Many survivors were screaming and running, and some crazy figures were chasing after them.
Zombies!!
Many zombies appeared inside this outpost!
Why?
With this question in mind, the zombie on his body had already bitten through his throat, ending his life.
More and more survivors were dying in this outpost!
More and more zombies were appearing!
"Help! There are so many zombies here!! Save me!"
Some survivors who were slow to react were bitten directly by the suddenly appearing zombies. Even though they knew they would die if they were bitten, they were still shouting for help loudly.
The other survivors who reacted quickly had already silently tried to escape or resist the zombies that appeared in the outpost.
Chaos.
Not only this outpost, but other survivor outposts of the expeditionary force also had problems!
Large-scale chaos broke out in multiple residences not long after dinner!
A large number of zombie biting incidents suddenly broke out in those previously safe residences!
Even in several large residences of the New Hope main team, cases of zombification occurred!
Bang bang bang—!!!
Da da da da da—!!!
The originally quiet night was filled with bursts of gunfire as the New Hope base personnel who had reacted were shooting to deal with the riots.
"Kill all these zombies!! Hurry!"
Some squad leader-level commanders led their teams to quickly suppress the situation. With their powerful firepower, they were relatively easily able to kill those survivors and some New Hope members who had just turned into zombies.
"What the hell is going on!? Will someone tell me?"
In one of the building strongholds.
The New Hope headquarters was set up here, and the chief commander of this expedition was staying in this place to direct the battle.
But unexpectedly, the chess pieces buried in Green Source hadn't sent any news yet, and their own side had problems first.
At this time, the commander was furiously questioning his subordinates and some leaders of the affiliated forces in the room.
The others lowered their heads and dared not look at him. No one knew what was going on.
How could their side be in chaos first for no reason?
Anger was useless.
The command room quickly issued orders to suppress these riots.
Most of these riots occurred in the outposts of those who had temporarily joined the expeditionary force. On the contrary, the original New Hope garrison was not greatly affected. Only one or two places had zombie crises that were quickly suppressed.
The reason for the zombie riots?
Of course, there was no need to ask.
Naturally, it was the spies Green Source had planted outside who had taken action!
New Hope sent people to subvert the level 1 personnel in Green Source, so wouldn't Qin Jin and the others who knew about this situation take advantage of it in return?
Compared to the strict Green Source, this expeditionary force was full of loopholes!
It was unknown how many of the survivors who joined the expedition were chess pieces planted by Green Source or were originally Green Source personnel!
As for the reason for the zombification?
New Hope could find the virus of mutated zombies, let alone Green Source, the base that had just defeated an army of three million zombies!
The mutated zombie corpses that Qin Jin had ordered people to collect earlier were not random, and he had naturally planned to extract the extremely high concentration of virus samples from these special zombies!
Experimentation was only one purpose.
These things could also be used to make biological weapons!
When it came to who had more zombie viruses?
Green Source was really not afraid of anyone!
The base had stockpiled the corpses of dozens, nearly a hundred, mutated zombies!
Since New Hope didn't play by the rules and planned to use this trick to scheme against them, then Qin Jin would naturally not be polite.
He would let them taste this kind of taste in return!
