Everyone heard the wounded man's words clearly. The reaction of the second man after wiping the bullet clean also fell into full view. What was happening, where the bullet had come from—everyone had formed some kind of guess.
The captain leading the group had been carried on someone's back due to his severe injuries. His head throbbed, and his thoughts had stagnated from the shock.
The first massive blow had killed or injured nearly half the team. The second blow...
Made them feel utterly hopeless!
Abominations?
The ones who had fired on them earlier were the abominations Wang Chen had solemnly claimed were their allies?!
Then weren't they walking straight into a trap?
Before anyone could make sense of it, before they even had the ability to analyze the real situation, a burst of footsteps suddenly drew closer from ahead.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
They were extremely fast, many times faster than ordinary New Humans. There clearly were not many of them, and they made no effort to conceal their presence.
Crash!
Qi Kai's Regiment of a thousand people instantly fell into chaos. Some turned and ran without a thought for the proper response, while more simply stood rooted in place, helpless and bewildered as noise erupted everywhere.
The captain abruptly came to his senses, inwardly crying out in alarm. Such disorder would not only expose them—it would get them killed!
But it was already too late...
Whoosh!
A hideous abomination suddenly appeared around the corner ahead, gripping one of the most advanced and powerful weapons available in the apocalypse, already loaded and ready to fire!
Then, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—a group of abominations emerged one after another behind him. The instant they saw the team not far ahead, they surged forward, baring their fangs and claws as they howled without pause.
