Shi Qing, Jiang Bihan, and Zhang Tieniu led the team members to set off to the neighborhood where zombies were cleared yesterday.
At a glance, none of the zombie corpses that were all over the ground yesterday could be found. The streets were clean and there were still traces of yesterday's battle.
"Captain Zhang, do you know what's going on?" Shi Qing's face was not very good. He caught Zhang Tieniu who was walking slowly over and asked.
"What's all the fuss about? The zombies will eat it themselves." Zhang Tieniu looked indifferent. Shi Qing recalled that on the broken bridge, the leader had ordered the zombies' corpses to be burned.
"Be careful, zombies will evolve if they eat zombies." Shi Qing thought of Yu Beichuan's words, and for a moment, cold sweat broke out on his face unconsciously.
Yesterday they killed thousands of zombies, which meant thousands of zombie corpses. He didn't know how many new zombies could be evolved.
"Attention, squadron leaders, zombies may evolve on a large scale!" Shi Qing kept conveying information as he ran.
The evolved zombies may have been highly concentrated. Not a single zombie was found in this section of the block. Some zombies must have gathered them together. In other words, this zombie may have developed preliminary intelligence.
"You guys, hurry up and inform each squadron leader of the information that zombies may be intelligent." Shi Qing grabbed a few messenger team members around him and gave hurried instructions.
According to the tactical plan, there are three squadrons, each of which is responsible for a street. The area Zhang Tieniu and Shi Qing are responsible for is on the main road, which was originally the place where zombies were densest.
"Captain Shi, it's not that serious." Zhang Tieniu still didn't take this matter to heart. As a fourth-level evolver, he did have such confidence.
"Zombies may evolve in large numbers, and among them there may be zombie leaders who develop wisdom. In this way, the zombies will have an organization, and the overall combat effectiveness will change greatly." Shi Qing said anxiously. Over the past few days, he had re-understood the zombies.
A lot of effort was spent on researching them.
"What are you afraid of? Come and kill one, come and kill two," Zhang Tieniu didn't care. His mind was still fixed at the early stage of the zombie outbreak.
Shi Qing was very nervous. He pointed to the street in front of him and said, "Captain Zhang, take a look for yourself. All the zombie corpses have disappeared. The zombies that were so dense in front are no longer visible."
"Hey, if that's true, can the zombies eat so much by themselves?" Zhang Tieniu stretched his neck and looked around. He pulled Shi Qing unwillingly and ran towards the roof of a tall building in front of him.
Looking down from here, most of the landscape of City S comes into view. Not far from two blocks away, there are so many zombies gathered densely there. Judging from the number, there are about 30,000 to 40,000 zombies.
"Where, where are they all concentrated!" Zhang Tieniu pointed in that direction. The zombies were neatly gathered there, a dense mass, like an army.
"It's over, it's true," Shi Qing was horrified. His conjecture was finally confirmed. Zombie evolution will also have a chance of evolving wisdom. With intelligent zombie command, the combat effectiveness of the zombie group will definitely make a qualitative leap.
"Captain Tieniu, which squadron is in charge of that street now?" Shi Qing looked at the area and asked Zhang Tieniu. The areas that each squadron was responsible for were originally designated by the leader, and he had always been only responsible for his own area.
"Zhang Jiade," Zhang Tieniu knew very well. Zhang Jiade showed off to him last night that after he had just broken through the third level, it was easy for him to kill ordinary third-level zombies.
"Hurry up and inform the other squadrons not to go deeper and gather in the direction of Zhang Jiade." Shi Qing thought of the seriousness of the matter and ordered the few messengers who followed him.
"I'll lead my squadron there first!" Zhang Tieniu was unambiguous. He immediately thought of the terrible consequences that might happen. He didn't understand the matter of making plans, but when it came to fighting zombies, he still had the highest combat power here.
Zhang Tieniu was running fast on the street. Zhang Jiade was his little brother. Why didn't he take it to heart? "Don't let anything happen to you, Jiade, hold on."
Zhang Jiade's squadron only has five squadrons. According to the original discussion, each squadron was designed to have 250 people. However, the number is now insufficient, and his squadron only has three squadrons.
The boss of Yubeichuan still cares about him. The five teams are all equipped with twenty people. Six ordinary team members left in the morning. Shi Qing selected six people from the people he rescued from the neighborhood to make up for the three teams, a total of six people.
A team of ten people.
Tong Gude was lucky and happened to be assigned to Zhang Jiade's squadron.
Although Zhang Jiade is young, he has experienced several battles. He is more caring about newcomers. For every newcomer in the team, he is assigned an old member to lead him.
Autumn is here, and the breath of autumn is hidden everywhere on the streets. The trees are beginning to lose their leaves, and the withered yellow leaves are falling to the ground, soft when stepped on.
Without the constant flow of cars and the usual bustle, the streets are quiet, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Captain Zhang, no zombies were found in front of us," the two squad leaders who went to investigate rushed over.
They didn't look down on this squadron leader who was much younger than them. In every dangerous battle, Zhang Jiade was on the front line. They admired such a squadron leader from the bottom of their hearts.
"What's going on?" Zhang Jiade frowned, and the whole street was silent.
It was terrifying. He couldn't find any of the corpses of the zombies he killed yesterday. He felt a little uneasy in his heart. The uneasiness seemed to come from things hidden everywhere in the dark.
"Are you sure you have all searched carefully?" It's not that Zhang Jiade doesn't believe them, it's just that this matter is too mysterious and he must find out.
"Captain, don't worry, we have searched everything within one mile of the surrounding area." The two team captains said categorically that this matter was related to everyone's safety, and they could not be careless.
"Let's all come over and discuss it. Anyway, I feel weird." Zhang Jiade couldn't make up his mind, and three team captains gathered around.
"Captain Zhang, why don't we retreat first?" A team leader suggested. From the moment he entered this street, he had always felt something was wrong. What exactly was wrong, he couldn't explain.
"What's your opinion?" Zhang Jiade looked at the other two squad leaders, waiting for their suggestions.
"We can try to move forward slowly. There was a tall building ahead just now. How can we make plans when we get there?" the team leader who had just gone out to search expressed his opinion.
"I think it's okay. If we don't go back in such a dejected manner, other squadrons will definitely laugh at us." A squad leader said bluntly. Anyway, we are all our own people here, and we are not afraid of others laughing at us.
"Find someone from this place and ask about the situation." The team leader who had previously proposed retreat pouted at the sixteen newly joined people over there.
As a local, you will definitely be familiar with the situation. This method works, and other team leaders also agree with this method.
A team leader ran over, and after a while, he brought a new person.
"Captain Zhang, that's him. He said he is familiar with this area." The team leader also knew that the situation was serious and quickly pulled the person over.
In front of him was a sturdy young man with a square face, a tall build, thick eyebrows, a black mole at the corner of his mouth, and sparkling eyes, looking relatively upright.
"Hello, Captain Zhang! I am Tong Gude, it turns out that this is..." Tong Gude did not dare to underestimate the young man in front of him. Since the end of the world, everyone has become more and more extraordinary.
Just because of Zhang Jiade's age, he can be a squadron leader in this team. It seems that several squad leaders respect him, so he must be somewhat capable.
"Gude, do you know this place very well?" Zhang Jiade asked slowly, holding the black iron short stick in his hand.
"I know!" Tong Gude replied, smiling bitterly in his heart. Not only did he know this place, he had been staying here for twelve years from graduation to now.
From the time he joined the company to his current position, he walked from street to house every day. He could walk around this place with his eyes closed.
