After a massive renovation, the entire shopping mall has been transformed into a testosterone-fueled arena. No matter where you are, you can hear the frenzied shouts of the crowd. The mall itself has numerous connecting corridors for people to move around freely, now serving as excellent spectator spots...
"Is this what you call recruitment?"
Herian's face immediately darkened. Although she wasn't worried that M4 and the others would be in danger, the unexpected situation made her question the other party's attitude.
But Palmer wasn't surprised: "Yes, only those who can fight their way out of this shopping mall will not easily die in the streets outside. But you can rest assured, there are people nearby waiting to go in and clean up the mess, that is, to protect those who are not capable enough."
Protection? There's no protection to be seen here. Besides M4 and her team, the only other active creatures on the field are the remaining zombies...
"Helian, you should let me play."
The executioner quietly approached Helian and whispered his displeasure.
Helian shook her head, focusing her gaze on the M16 that was wreaking havoc: "Any one of you could easily handle this. The problem is, how do these natives treat outsiders like us..."
Then, turning back to AR15 behind him, he said in a deep voice, "Contact Ange. We have successfully infiltrated and are awaiting a response."
"it is good."
......
“We rarely see women participating in the recruitment process, so the three of you, take it easy. If you can’t take it anymore, just shout it out. Your life is more important.”
Above the mall, a middle-aged male voice, transmitted through a deep microphone, echoed. It could be the host, or it could be Alfred himself. In any case, proving their abilities here would give them a chance to meet him...
【Puff】
A zombie was lifted up by the hunter with one hand and thrown into the gap in the damaged wall. At the same time, more zombies fell from other entrances and the second floor area. The flashing ultraviolet flares near the third floor were the source of people's fearlessness.
"They seemed to be really enjoying it."
The hunter uttered a casual remark before returning to the bloody slaughter, easily crushing the mangled flesh and blood of the three with overwhelming force.
"Let them watch for now," M16 said, lifting a zombie by the waist and slamming it heavily to the ground. "Any later, and they might not be laughing anymore."
......
"Angie, Commander, we have successfully infiltrated the survivor settlement near the checkpoint and attempted to negotiate with their leader. We are awaiting a response."
“Received,” Luo Fan’s voice rang out again, but strangely, it was mixed with a few gunshots and a beast-like roar: “But we can’t get to the scene immediately. The military was attacked by that monster. We are preparing to go and provide support.”
"We'll move towards your location first. Give me the route, and we'll follow you in later."
Anjie responded on the spot. Although AR15 was a little uneasy about the unknown situation outside, she still did as she was told and sent over the sewer route map from when they came in.
After AR15 turned around to confirm that it was safe, he added, "Once you get out of the sewers, contact SP9, she will meet you... I have a little trouble here, so this is the last minute."
After quickly hanging up, AR15 focused its attention on a tall man in the crowd, wearing a black coat and a beanie...
"I didn't expect the military to be so efficient."
Muttering to himself, AR15 raised an eyebrow and concealed the pistol in his jacket sleeve.
The other person seemed to notice her as well, immediately pulled up their mask, and moved towards the outside of the venue.
"Humph......"
She immediately increased her speed, fortunately the area wasn't crowded, so her speed wasn't affected. But her opponent was in a difficult position; she didn't want to be noticed and was trying to escape AR15's pursuit at a faster speed, but...
"Helian, I saw an old acquaintance here. I'll rejoin the team later."
"Received. Take care of yourself."
......
Perhaps the steel plate became an advantage at this moment, making it easy to pass through the crowd. If Luo Fan were there, he would definitely take the opportunity to say something to her, but she didn't have time to pay attention to such details.
The two maneuvered through the crowd until they reached the edge near the floor-to-ceiling window...
"Hey, watch out, damn it."
"Tsk, why are you squeezing in?"
Ignoring the curses of passersby, AR15 sped up until she reached out her hand to the figure in front of her...
"..."
The other person stood frozen in place, afraid to move; he knew exactly what was pressing against his lower back...
"Come with me."
......
With no other option and no room for resistance, the other party had no choice but to obediently be pushed forward by AR15 until they reached a storage room on the fourth floor where no one else was around.
“I still have to admire the military’s efficiency,” AR15 said coldly, tearing off the other man’s mask. “Leon, I didn’t expect you to have so many missions on your plate.”
"Well, I've been promoted quite quickly recently, so the responsibilities on my shoulders have become heavier."
Exposed, Leon could only shake her head awkwardly. She remembered the girl in front of her, who was bundled up tightly; it was the girl who had chased her away in the police station. She never expected to see her here again, which meant...
"The military has been watching this place for a long time, hasn't they? The real operation only began after we showed up."
The speculation had existed for some time, but the appearance of Lyon made AR15 certain of it.
Lyon paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, this place has been a top priority for four months. Since the outbreak, the military has been keeping an eye on this place and has been negotiating and infiltrating for a long time. Now, it's time to resolve this problem."
Mutual exploitation was to be expected. Although it's unclear what the military's true intentions are, their appearance has likely shown them another possibility—a possibility of being united and utilized...
We're in the same boat; we share the same goal...
AR15 holstered his pistol and said in a deep voice, "So, can you provide any valuable clues? For example, do you know who Alfred is?"
"Of course, we not only know about it, but we can even contact it directly."
"Oh?"
Just as he was about to ask another question, Lyon inexplicably appeared at the door, opened it, looked around a few times, and then returned to AR15.
“Your intelligence is very valuable, and I can trust you now. So, I’m telling you the next piece of information in my private capacity. Don’t leak it out, or I’ll lose my job.”
668 Lovan PART.3
AR15 simply stood there with its arms crossed, waiting for the other party to provide the information it already possessed...
“Salson Alfred was the colonel who was in charge of the Yudan B area checkpoint. He was one of the first military squads stationed here. I can’t disclose the squad number, but it is clear that the riot he led caused the conflict between the military and the civilians to escalate, which led to the current situation.”
......
The entire conversation was recorded, allowing everyone to learn about Alfred at the same time, which was truly unexpected...
No wonder the food rationers who were rationing Parmuel just now called him Colonel...
However, what was originally expected to be a civilian uprising turned out to be a rebellion led by military personnel. Who could have imagined this? The motives and benefits are incomprehensible, but this precisely explains why the military has long harbored resentment towards the region.
"So, what is your objective? To eliminate Alfred?"
AR15 asked.
“I don’t have the authority to know that,” Leon shook his head, his expression not much better than when they first met. “We are only responsible for carrying out the orders. However, we have Alfred’s appearance, address, and all other valuable information. And now, he is here. My purpose in coming here is to make contact with him.”
"I'm guessing Chris planned to act alongside us during our operation, so the military also took a radical approach at the same time, right?"
"Uh...indeed..."
......
It seems that Chris, as a partner, has enough credibility to not report their actual presence after the cooperation, but the military must have more or less seen through the clues, so they plan to launch a full-scale attack at the same time, intending to take down Alfred in one fell swoop tonight.
It seems both sides are impatient, which is good; dragging it out any longer won't do any good...
AR15 chuckled coldly and leaned against the door behind him: "So, what's the plan next?"
......
"NTW, Dreamers, are you ready? We'll be providing support to the military immediately."
"This is NTW, too far to reach at the moment."
"Dreamer, get ready~ If you're planning to help, you'd better hurry up, the military is being routed by a beast."
The beast the dreamer spoke of is the special zombie that attacked Luo Fan and the girls, letting out a roar that echoed throughout the city. On their current path, the military has been attacked by this zombie. As temporary allies, and to prevent them from falling behind...
"Everyone, charge!"
Amidst the chaotic battle, Luo Fan led the girls out from a side alley, simultaneously throwing ultraviolet flares that proved highly effective. The zombie's attention was quickly drawn to them, and it began to target Luo Fan and his companions.
"AA12!"
"coming!"
The zombie, moving at high speed using its tentacles, was hit in the face by AA12's ferocious firepower when it was only twenty meters away from Luo Fan. The zombie, in pain, had to turn around again and retreat out of AA12's firing range.
Amid the chaos, observing the situation, the military had already suffered considerable casualties. Their lack of experience in dealing with this monster had caused them great losses. Luo Fan believed that their appearance was a signal for a counterattack, which would surely boost the morale of the military and allow them to unite to deal with this monster!
However......
"Enemy encountered! Enemy encountered!"
"Unidentified unit, open fire!"
Before the joy of their first collaboration could even take hold, a fierce barrage of suppressive fire brought Luo Fan back to reality.
"Damn it, Commander, they're firing at us!"
Before 45, the forward, could even make a move, he was pinned behind the car. Without exception, the girls were all rendered helpless by this unexpected barrage of firepower.
"damn it......"
The drastic change in circumstances enraged Luo Fan. He grabbed his headphones and yelled, "Chris, you son of a bitch! You fucking hit us!"
"what?"
The other person also looked surprised, and immediately notified their teammates: "Everyone, cease fire! Cease fire! Friendly units!"
"What, friendly forces?"
"Are there other teams with us on this mission? The terminal doesn't show it, and their uniforms don't look like it."
Despite the ongoing doubts, the military team obediently withdrew their firepower and continued to focus their attention on the zombie.
“Damn it…”
Although annoyed, Luo Fan couldn't blame Chris, since Chris couldn't just tell his teammates about their existence, so this blunder was unavoidable.
Fortunately, the conflict did not escalate further...
Ultraviolet flares have been deployed, creating a makeshift safe zone and giving the military a temporary respite. But the monster isn't stupid; just like last time, it sprayed a pool of purple liquid from the tear under its arm.
【puff】
The flares evaporated and exploded, extinguishing the flares on the ground and plunging the area back into darkness.
"Damn it, my UV flashlight won't turn on!"
"No, it's charging at us! Hey!"
Some military personnel were also contaminated by the liquid, resulting in the inability to use ultraviolet equipment, just like with the M4 before. Chris was extremely anxious, as they had not yet mass-produced these ultraviolet flares!
"then!"
AR18 threw a lit flare, interrupting the zombie's attack in time. The momentum sent it crashing straight to the ground, and the military soldiers reacted immediately, ducking to avoid the monster's impact.
Meanwhile, 416 quickly passed by from the side, picked up a grenade launcher, and prepared to finish off the enemy.
"Roar!"
"Don't get up!"
The trajectory was corrected instantly, and 416 pulled the trigger. In less than a second, the grenade hit the ground and detonated. But before he could even check the situation, the monster rushed out of the smoke again and attacked Chris.
Oops!
Realizing the speed difference was insurmountable, Chris abandoned the idea of dodging and used his hands to protect himself, but the impact was greater than expected, directly slamming him into the car behind him and shattering its windshield.
Having found a breakthrough, the zombies immediately followed up with their tentacles, preparing to press their advantage.
"Quickly open!"
Luo Fan roared instinctively, and the adrenaline forced Chris to get up quickly and hide under the car. The zombie's attack missed, but the car was still moved back several tens of centimeters by the impact, and the hood was severely deformed.
It's unimaginable what would have happened to me if I hadn't dodged in time...
But there was no time to think about it anymore!
669 Lovan PART.4
"Commander, are you sure you don't need my help? The situation looks extremely critical."
