The sentry gunshots rang continuously through every gear. Chu Han listened closely as he crawled toward the locations responding with sentry fire. In perfect synchronization with the sounds, each time he reached a new gear zone, it was precisely when that round of sentry fire erupted. The coordination between Chu Han and the Shooting Team had reached a state of flawless timing.
Neither side relaxed as they continued searching through the gears one by one.
Just as two-thirds of the gears on the battlefield had been checked, with one-third remaining, a faint ding suddenly rang out—the subtle sound of weapons striking each other, mixed amid the slaughter and the sentry gunfire.
The collision was so faint it was almost imperceptible, and so brief that its exact direction was difficult to pinpoint. Yet Chu Han immediately crawled swiftly toward its source!
With the gear formation rotating, and the enemy being zombies, such sounds of weapons colliding should rarely occur. There should only have been the constant sounds of meat being ground up, gunshots, and bullets striking zombie heads. Zombies did not use weapons. The appearance of such a sound could only mean that inconsistent movement among the team members had caused their weapons to collide out of sync.
But the period when inconsistent movements were most likely to occur was during the first few hours of adaptation. Now that everyone was familiar with the gear formation, had perfectly controlled the alternating timing of the two groups, and had the support of Silver Purifying Water, the probability of such an error was practically zero.
Once it happened, it meant there was a problem!
Yet just as Chu Han headed toward the source of the collision, the sentry gunfire from the center of a gear in the completely opposite direction suddenly stopped. The
