Chapter 1136 – A Low-Key Entrance

One week later…

A helicopter flew over the wilderness and finally landed on a spacious rooftop.

The zombies on the nearby streets had long been attracted by the loud noise from the helicopter. By the time the cabin door opened, dozens of zombies were already climbing up the edge of the rooftop. Even more zombies kept crawling up, and if someone were watching from afar, they would see the entire building covered with zombies…

Rat-a-tat-tat!

Mu Chen and the others were the first to jump out of the cabin. As soon as they landed, they raised their Silenced Submachine Guns and swept the zombies with a barrage of fire.

The zombies kept crossing the rooftop railing, charging toward the helicopter, but almost all of them fell halfway. Even so, their relentless surge and frenzied assault were still quite shocking.

By this point, there were very few common zombies left. The zombies that had survived until now had, through gradual accumulation, already broken through to mutation-level.

Whether in speed or strength, they were much stronger than when the disaster first broke out.

However, the Miracle Squad members were all battle-hardened veteran Survivors. From their initial, unhesitating counterattack to forming a circle and firing in all directions, there was not a hint of panic.

But just a few seconds later…

“Roar!”

A zombie, taking cover behind its companions, had just rushed to the helicopter’s tail when a figure suddenly appeared behind it and took it down.

Thud!

As the corpse hit the ground, Mu Chen and the others couldn’t help but feel a jolt in their hearts.

They couldn’t help but glance over, just in time to see Li Yalin smiling as she lowered Snake Kiss, with the corpse lying at her feet.

“Looks like an Advanced Zombie…” Mu Chen glanced at the corpse and said.

“That was close. Even these common zombies have gotten so cunning now,” Zhang Xincheng sighed.

“Don’t let your guard down. What if there’s something even more advanced?” Ye Kai reminded them.

Yuwen Xuan’s attention, however, was on something else… When Li Yalin made her move just now, she seemed a bit different from before…

Faster, quieter, and more adept at delivering a killing blow…

Although her opponent had only been an Advanced Zombie, in that brief instant, the aura she unleashed was already razor-sharp.

If she used to be like a venomous snake, then just now, she was a brilliantly colored, deadly serpent.

Yuwen Xuan even vaguely saw that, in the moment Li Yalin sprang out, her movement was in a curve. Such a trajectory was almost impossible for a human moving at high speed.

A straight line is more stable, while a curve not only disrupts speed but also affects balance.

But in combat, such mysterious movement could undoubtedly have miraculous effects.

“Has she gotten stronger…” Yuwen Xuan couldn’t help but wonder.

He couldn’t help but recall the week they’d just gone through…

For the first five days, Ling Mo and the others had basically holed up in the granary. When they finally came out, the three girls and the two little ones with him all seemed subtly different.

Even the youngest little loli seemed to have grown up a bit…

But no one could tell exactly what had changed about the others.

During those five days, no one dared to approach the granary.

Not because they’d guessed anything, but because… who knew what those guys and girls were doing in there!

But now it seemed, what they’d been up to… was surprisingly proper!

Ling Mo didn’t give them much time to observe. Once he confirmed that Gu Shuangshuang and Skinny Monkey had mostly recovered, he announced their departure.

But the destination they chose was different from the original plan…

Ling Mo temporarily gave up on the armory and decided to come here first…

“The armory is too well hidden. No one can say what we might encounter there. So to be safe, we’ll take this place first. As for the armory… I have other plans.”

That’s what Ling Mo said.

The Miracle Squad thought it over and immediately understood…

Ling Mo was right… The area around the armory was all mountainous terrain. In the past, such an environment was relatively calm.

But after the granary incident, everyone had a whole new perspective.

Those Senior Zombies, or Progenitors, were no longer just mindless Monsters.

They were more terrifying than Monsters…

Such Creatures could appear in any environment. In fact, the less likely a place seemed for zombies, the more likely it was for these Monsters to be lurking.

Just like Dawn Town… an empty town hiding a huge crisis.

In such unpredictable environments, the Miracle Squad’s effectiveness was actually quite limited.

This was also the common weakness of human superhumans… their bodies were still too weak…

Especially in the armory… in a place like that, they probably couldn’t even use firearms freely…

Just like Niepan, they’d long since mastered the locations of these warehouses, but hadn’t taken the most important ones early on, precisely for this reason.

Of course, travel and transportation were also factors affecting their actions, but the most important was still risk.

After the disaster broke out, the main cause of death for human Survivors was searching…

Without Ling Mo and his group, the Miracle Squad probably couldn’t even have taken Rosen Company at the start.

After running into trouble in two places in a row, Ling Mo finally started to consider this issue…

The most dangerous and unpredictable areas were probably… already forbidden zones for humans…

“Whew…”

When the last zombie fell, the entire rooftop was awash with blood.

Yuwen Xuan took out the map, looked around from the high vantage point, and nodded, “Yeah… this is Dongtou Town! We’re about ten kilometers from our target. If we conserve our strength… we can reach it in about half a day on foot.”

“Why not just fly straight there?” The Pilot, seeing the fight was over, jumped down from the helicopter, frowned as he looked past the corpses into the distance, and said, “This town is pretty desolate, but at least there are zombies. We shouldn’t run into another Dawn Town situation.”

“Better to be cautious,” Ling Mo, who had been sitting at the cabin door, finally walked over and said, “If we walk, it’s much more low-key than flying straight over the warehouse.”

Not only that, they also chose a town in the completely opposite direction from the city as their foothold…
