Bro, Can I Ask for Directions?
Inside an abandoned steel building, two blood-stained young men leaned against the wall, panting heavily. They were pale-faced and of similar age, with the older one holding a submachine gun.
Another younger man was holding a large Revolver that looked like a hand cannon, with an outrageous type of bullet. He was covered in bullets and was covered in blood.
The older young man was named Guo Kai, and the other was his younger brother, Guo Shan.
Guo Shan said, "Brother, this can't go on. I shouldn't have taken this mission. This godforsaken place is no place for a human to stay!"
They were just attacked by Zombies, and now many Zombies are lurking nearby.
One of the Zombies, dressed in overalls, was agile and nimble; it was a Third Order Zombie.
The Guo Kai brothers, Guo Kai and Guo San, were second-tier warriors. They originally took on this mission to explore the outer perimeter, but unexpectedly encountered some unforeseen events and fled all the way here.
Guo Kai said, "This thing is even more intelligent than the Zombies we've seen outside. If we hadn't encountered another Zombies riot just now, we might have been able to escape. Now it's too late!"
Guo Shan bit the bullet and kept loading it into the revolver in his hand.
He mumbled, "Then what should we do? Hide here?"
Guo Kai shook his head. "This thing has a very sensitive sense of smell, especially for the scent of living people. Take a break, we still need to rush out later. I'll hold off that Zombies in work clothes, you take the opportunity to escape, the other Zombies shouldn't be able to stop you!"
Guo Shan frowned. "That won't do. If anyone's going to stop him, it'll be me stopping him, or the two of us brothers will stay here together."
Guo Kai roared, "Bullshit! If we all die here, who will take care of me in my old age and see me off in my final days? What? You want her to starve to death in the Slums!"
They have an elderly mother at home who is not in very good health.
The two brothers risked their lives to take on this peripheral exploration mission in order to earn some money to treat their elderly mother's illness.
Guo Shan's eyes were slightly red as he said, "I'll go instead. I'm not as meticulous as you. Without your guidance, I probably wouldn't survive the mission on my own."
He raised his head, looked firmly at his brother, and said in a deep voice, "You are more suited to live than I am. I'll go stop that Third Order Zombie!"
Guo Kai shook his head. He quietly peeked down and saw that the Zombies below had begun to gradually rise.
"If you keep making excuses like this, neither of us will be able to leave. It's settled then. I'll charge in, and you retreat!"
Guo Shan was about to say something, but Guo Kai had already started walking down.
"Hurry up and catch up, or it will be too late if we get surrounded here!"
The two brothers rushed downhill.
Ordinary Zombies couldn't withstand their powerful firepower.
Bang bang bang! Several Zombies fell after being hit by concentrated fire.
These are ordinary Zombies and don't pose much of a danger to them. What's truly frightening is the Third Order Zombie, the man in overalls.
"Damn it, why are working people making things difficult for each other!"
Guo Kai cursed under his breath.
The two of them rushed down quickly.
The two brothers were extremely agile and skilled. Even before the Gene Serum injection, they were much more capable than ordinary people.
The Zombies surged forward, their hair disheveled and their skin dry.
Some had burns, some had gunshot wounds, and they looked extremely gruesome.
At first, nothing seemed amiss, but the next moment Guo Kai was suddenly startled. He noticed another Work Clothes Zombie dressed in Zombies next to the first one! Their clothes were identical, covered in grease and stained with dark brown blood! His heart sank. "Damn it!"
If there's only one head, he'll desperately try to entangle it, perhaps giving his younger brother a chance to survive.
But if it's two ends, there's no chance of escape! The brothers exchanged a glance, and Guo Kai still rushed forward without hesitation. "Go!"
He decided to take a gamble, and Guo Shan didn't hold him back; he simply turned around and ran away.
Guo Kai rushed forward. As a second-tier Flame Manipulator, he opened his mouth and spat out flames at one of the third-tier Zombies. At the same time, he raised his hand and pulled the trigger, firing at another Third Order Zombie! He wanted to use his own life to attract the attention of these two Zombies, buying time for his younger brother! The gun in his hand was quite powerful, but it only left some small holes in the Zombies, without causing any real damage.
What good guns can these ordinary freelancers get their hands on?
The flames swept past, and the Third Order Zombie leaped away to avoid them. Then, it soared high into the air and pounced down like a tiger! Guo Kai's heart sank, knowing that his strength was far from enough to deal with two Third Order Zombie.
The next moment, a loud bang! The Third Order Zombie was shot away! Its legs were blown off, its flesh was mangled and scattered all over the ground, like a firework exploding in the air! Guo Kai was shocked and saw a large vehicle speeding towards him, drifting past him.
At the same time, a young man fired a shot through the window while drifting! The truck stopped, billowing dust! Guo Kai was stunned for a moment; the sound of the truck had also attracted the attention of the two Zombies.
The Third Order Zombie had its legs shattered, but it managed to pounce forward quickly, even faster than a normal cheetah, which was quite terrifying!
Another Zombies turned and lunged towards the truck! "Watch out!!"
Guo Kai roared!
The car came to a smooth stop, and the young man got out, muttering something under his breath.
Then Guo Kai saw the Zombies, which had lunged forward with its hands on the ground, being kicked by the young man with a whip kick. With a bang, its head was smashed, and half of its body was also smashed! The severed limbs still had some vitality and twitched on the ground, but they were no match for him.
Guo Kai: "..."
Guo Shan: "..."
That's incredible!
They knew all too well how powerful this Third Order Zombie was, and how fast it was; some attacks simply couldn't hit it.
But he was dealt with by a whip kick! Another Third Order Zombie rushed up, and the young man moved extremely fast, showing no sign of panic.
As the Zombies lunged at him, he spun around and shoved the gun into the Zombies's mouth. His enormous heart was truly astonishing!
The next second, the young man pulled the trigger, and the head of the Third Order Zombie exploded like a watermelon with a bang, which looked extremely shocking! The scene was horrifying and visually impactful.
Guo Kai stared in disbelief. "What a huge heart, what a fast move, and... what a twisted sense of humor!"
He sensed that the young man was doing it on purpose, seemingly deliberately pursuing this visual effect.
The young man was tall and straight, with sharp features and deep-set eyes. He turned to Guo Kai and smiled, "Handsome, isn't he?"
Guo Kai opened his mouth in stunned silence. With his professional skills, he would never be momentarily speechless on the battlefield, but this scene was simply too visually striking! The surrounding Zombies were all drawn to the young man and pounced on him! But the young man remained unfazed, holding a Shotgun in his hand.
Bang bang bang bang bang! The bodies of the Zombies were smashed to pieces!
As he walked along, he found not a single intact Zombies, only scattered limbs and broken pieces.
Guo Kai's pupils contracted as he looked at the gun the young man was using.
Compared to theirs, the submachine gun in my hand was practically a fire poker!
"But isn't it a bit of a waste to use this gun to fight these Zombies?"
Guo Kai felt a pang of regret at the thought of using a gun that wasn't his own and bullets that weren't his own.
Is this shooting someone with a gun? It's practically throwing money at someone! High-end firearms and high-end bullets, extremely expensive to manufacture!
Guo Kai even had a somewhat absurd thought: he wanted to go up and remind the young man, "Brother, why don't you let me do it? It hurts me to see you firing like that."
For a low-level freelancer, this young man's arrogance was a huge shock.
With this young man there, the Zombies were quickly dealt with, and not a single intact corpse could be found.
"Damn it, is this some young master from a wealthy family out hunting?"
Guo Kai said.
Judging from the other party's posture, I wonder if I'm also one of their prey, and they'll come over and shoot me in the head in a moment!
Fortunately, the young man's eyes were very clear, and he did not have any perverted desires.
Guo Kai said, "Brother, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, my brother and I would be dead here!"
The one wielding the high-powered Shotgun and firing recklessly was Chen Wang.
"It's been a long time since I've heard the sound of gunfire."
Chen Wang thought to himself.
Seeing Guo Kai thank him, Chen Wang nodded. "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you something."
Guo Kai was taken aback. "What is it?"
Chen Wang took out several photos. The first one was of an extremely charming and beautiful woman.
It was a photo of his team members.
Have you seen these people before?
Chen Wang asked.
He had finally encountered a living person here, and his intention was not to save them, but to ask for directions.
Guo Kai glanced at the photo, then examined it carefully. "I've seen it before."
Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Where?"
Guo Kai explained, "We originally received a mission to explore the outer perimeter, but the Zombies riot was so powerful that we were forced to come in. That's when we met them."
Guo Kai continued, "But besides this woman, I only saw this short guy."
Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Just the two of them?"
The short man was named Dou Wu. He was a third-level Martial Warrior and a miner. He was originally a bodyguard for a big businessman, but was recruited into Yan Zhi's team.
Guo Kai said, "The situation was quite urgent at the time. I only saw the two of them. Perhaps the others were somewhere else."
Chen Wang nodded. "Where did you meet back then?"
Guo Kai gave a location, and Chen Wang checked it against the map.
"Okay, thank you, I'll go take a look."
Guo Kai said, "We've explored that area before, so we know the way pretty well. Do you want me to show you the way, and take the two of us with you?"
Chen Wang grinned. "What, want a ride?"
Guo Kai said, "You saved both of our lives, and I want to repay you. It would be best if I could also curry favor with you."
Chen Wang's lips twitched. "You're quite frank."
Guo Shan is a Blood Qi young man, while Guo Kai is more composed.
"It's easier to find someone if there are more people involved, isn't it?"
Chen Wang glanced at him. "You really know how to take advantage of a situation."
Guo Kai smiled and said, "If you find us useless by then, just abandon the two of us. No problem."
Guo Shan seemed somewhat displeased with his brother's pleading manner.
He didn't say anything, nor did he do anything embarrassing at this time.
Chen Wang shook his head. "It's not very convenient. You'd better take care of yourselves."
He didn't want to bring these two burdens along; he just wanted to ask for directions.
In this world, everyone wants to seize opportunities to climb the social ladder, and there are plenty of smart people among them.
Whether or not one will have the luck is another matter.
Chen Wang drove away, and Guo Kai felt a little regretful watching his departing figure.
Guo Shan said, "Brother, there's no need to beg him so humbly."
Guo Kai frowned. "He is our savior. Watch your tone."
Guo Shan sighed, "I know he saved us, and I'm very grateful, but I can't stand seeing you begging!"
He was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Chen Wang saved him, so giving him his life was no big deal.
Seeing his brother in that state, however, made him feel a tightness in his chest.
Guo Kai chuckled, "People like us with no connections, of course we have to seize the opportunity to climb the ladder. What's so special about that? Stop spouting nonsense!"
He punched his younger brother.
Watching Chen Wang's departing figure, he said very seriously, "This guy is a big shot. Look at that car, it's official. And look at the gun in his hand, and his skills."
Guo Kai said irritably, "This guy must be from the government. He dares to venture deep into this place alone. He must be a tough guy. I'd be willing to be his driver. What nonsense are you spouting!"
The two brothers left quickly.
It's a miracle you survived. If you can find someone to rely on, it's worth the risk, but if you can't, you should leave this hellhole as soon as possible.
Chen Wang drove away, heading in the direction Guo Kai had indicated.
Guo Kai explained it in great detail, so it wasn't difficult for Chen Wang to find this place.
Along the way, he saw many signs of battle; the ground was littered with the corpses of Zombies, some violently smashed by fists and kicks, some seemingly flattened by heavy objects, and some killed by gunfire.
There are a lot of them.
Chen Wang got out of the car and began to explore with his divine sense as he walked inside.
He quickly spotted a corpse, strode over to it, and frowned.
This person wasn't part of their squad; he was wearing camouflage and had run out of ammunition.
His neck was bitten off, and he had multiple horrific bite wounds on his body.
Chen Wang frowned. He'd discovered the man's identity during his inspection earlier. "A member of Apocalypse?"
Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.
"That person said there was a Zombies outbreak here and that he saw them, but now there are also corpses of Apocalypse Warriors here. What exactly happened back then?"
A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
"There wasn't just one force here at the time!"
