Chapter 106 – Damn it!

"Hehehe... I not only have reasons to suspect you, but also want to use you as a scapegoat! Don't move, maintain the same posture as when we were chatting just now. There's someone peeping on the wall to the east!" Despite being scolded and threatened, Hong Tao not only didn't glare, but also smiled and leaned closer until their heads were almost touching, then whispered a warning.

"A person? A survivor?" Randy originally wanted to avoid the strange expression on his face, but as soon as she heard familiar English, she immediately realized that Hong Tao wasn't joking and tried hard to relax her body, resisting the urge to turn around.

"I can't see clearly... I'll pretend to give you a cigarette, and you use your hand radio to call Team Leader Sun. He has a better angle to observe!" Hong Tao wasn't joking. When Randy was scolding earlier, he wanted to teach this overly casual American a lesson. But before he could fully turn his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small black dot in the corner of his eye.

It appeared on the southeast corner wall of the South Korean Embassy, and its outline resembled half of a person's head. Is it a human head? Hong Tao thought so, and he had a feeling that the person was staring at him.

If that's the case, any action he takes will be seen by the other person. Fortunately, Randy's hand radio was hanging on the chest of her stab-proof vest, and she could easily call the other teams by slightly lowering her head.

"Each team, pay attention. That guy might be a person... or not... we're all a bit uncertain. Why don't you come over and take a look in person? Xiao Pan has taken a picture of him."

Sun Ge is a person who lacks interest and is very conservative, but he is also very reliable. As long as it's within his capabilities and he approves of it, he will meticulously complete the task. This time was no exception, not only did he complete it, but he did it perfectly!

When Hong Tao and Randy jumped off the roof of the car, there was nothing on the wall to the east. But thanks to Sun Ge's serious attitude, the thing on the wall was recorded by Pan Wenxiang with his phone.

At this point, it's time to praise the otaku. His familiarity with game consoles and mobile phones far surpasses that of an average person, including Hong Tao. The video was recorded very clearly. According to Pan Wenxiang, the video can be further enhanced in clarity through sharpening and other methods.

No one is completely useless. Whether they are useless or not depends on the dialectical perspective. Hong Tao didn't ask Pan Wenxiang to continue enhancing the video's clarity, not because he didn't trust him, but because it wasn't necessary. He could already see clearly what it was.

No, he could clearly see the outline and facial features. It was a clear half of a person's head, male, with dark curly short hair and a slightly chubby face. The approximate ethnicity couldn't be determined for now.

The main thing was that his eyeballs were gray-white, very similar to zombies, except there was a black dot in the position of the pupils. It might be the pupils, otherwise, if he was lying on the wall and his eyes were constantly moving, it wouldn't be with his nose, right!

Oh my god, a zombie with vision! This thought sent a chill down Hong Tao's spine... With this, the search distance of the zombies would suddenly increase from one to two hundred meters to one or several kilometers, if the weather is good and there are no obstacles.

Oh my god, a zombie with vision that also peeps! This thought directly made Hong Tao's crotch tighten... What does peeping mean? Can something without any intelligence do such sneaky things?

Zombies with intelligence, it's hard to live with them. Imagine, if zombies can communicate with each other, no matter which one discovers a target, they will first assess the strength comparison between the two sides. If they are unsure of winning, they will immediately use various methods to attract others.

Who knows if zombies have some kind of sound waves or pheromone communication that humans can't hear or perceive. Soon, a large number of zombie brothers and sisters will come rushing over, some launching a frontal assault, some flanking, and some cutting off the escape route...

"Sun Ge, what do you think?" Maybe there are zombies that can use tools, opening doors while driving a car, or simply grabbing weapons... Hong Tao didn't dare to continue thinking.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].

"I observed it through the telescope for over a minute before shooting this video. It seems to be very afraid of us, always poking its head out... What do you think it is, a person or..." Although Sun Ge was getting older, his eyesight hadn't deteriorated much. He had already sensed the problem, but he didn't dare to confirm it. Or rather, he placed his hopes on Hong Tao, hoping that this capable leader could provide a reason to deny it, so he could feel more at ease.

"I hope it's a person... Randy, hold onto this. The shooting distance of this thing is limited, and its power is also average. It would be best if you could go to the basement and test fire a few shots to get a feel for it. Our next step is to find the person in the video and figure out whether they are a human or something else. It might be dangerous, considering you served in the military, don't shake your hand at a critical moment!"

Hong Tao took a deep breath and handed his phone to Randy beside him, then handed over his police pistol and spare magazine. Old Sun reminded him that the thing or person was also very afraid of being discovered. This means that he or it doesn't have the ability to besiege their group, at least not for now.

Alright, now the multiple-choice question has arrived. Should they wait for it to call more companions or quietly slip away, or should they quickly lead the field team members to retreat and avoid the potential danger?

This is a difficult choice, but Hong Tao made a decision in an instant. They must take the risk!

If the other party is indeed a higher-level zombie, they must kill it before it grows stronger. Avoidance won't solve any problems. Living a few more days, weeks, or even a year or two might be important to others, but it has no meaning to Hong Tao.

He can act like a grandson and bow his head in many things, but there are some things that can't be negotiated, such as matters of life and death. He's not afraid of death, and he doesn't care much about the life and death of others. If he dies, what does it matter if the entire human race survives or not.But he still belonged to the human race and didn't want to see other races being wiped out, like zombies. When it's time to struggle, you have to struggle, whether it works or not, and no matter what the cost is. At worst, it's just death, no loss!

"... We have really been abandoned by God. How could there be such monsters... Where is the basement?" Randy took the gun in a daze, still unaware of what had happened. She had mentioned it so many times before, but the captain never agreed to give her a gun. Why did he suddenly change his mind?

But as soon as he finished watching the video on his phone, he immediately understood why. It seemed that he was being asked to fight the unknown monster. This was a bit too much, using people as cannon fodder. But it was too late to say no now. Besides complaining to God, he needed to quickly familiarize himself with the revolver in the basement.

"Ah, misfortunes never come singly. The heavens are really not giving us a way out... Come on, come on, whether I stick my neck out or not, it's still a death sentence. I've had enough..."

Sun Dacheng didn't need to wait for Hong Tao's answer at this point. He sighed heavily, with self-mockery, attachment, and determination. But when he saw Zhang Tao, Pan Wenxiang, and Shui Nanqin, his killing intent weakened a bit. These young people probably hadn't had enough of life yet. They didn't know how many of them would survive this time.

"As usual, Randy and I will lead the way in the front. Keep each group within sight of each other and don't enter dark spaces like hallways or basements without permission. The zombies we are going to face this time may be different from before. Everyone should have watched the video. Whoever finds it, shoot it without hesitation! Shui, bring all the usable vehicles here and be ready to evacuate at any time!"

Seeing Sun Jianguo's expression, Hong Tao understood. But he couldn't agree. No matter the cost, that thing had to be killed. If there was time before to let these young people slowly familiarize themselves and grow, now it was a test. Only by passing the test could they continue to survive. Those who couldn't pass could only say goodbye.

Facing Hong Tao's serious expression, even those who had different opinions had to keep them to themselves. They trusted his leadership abilities, but it was not enough to willingly obey. The most important factor that made everyone unwilling to oppose or dare not oppose was Hong Tao's ruthlessness.

Killing zombies was nothing to mention. Everyone knew how to do it, and there was nothing to be afraid of. But killing his uncle with his own hands and cremating the body was not something an ordinary person could do.

The most terrifying thing was that he killed several living members of Sun Dacheng's gang, not with a gun or a crossbow, but with a paratrooper knife, face to face, feeling the blood spray several meters away.
