The others did not hesitate for long. They hurried after him, because if they failed this mission, they would have no way to answer for it when they returned. If they fled before the battle, they would face severe punishment...
Especially the hunting team captain, who charged ahead like a wild dog off its leash. He had to remain within tracking range at all times.
The humans moved swiftly. Some ran through the streets, while others leaped across rooftops, like a swarm of locusts passing through.
But moments later, the hunting team captain frowned.
"Brother Yuan, the target has stopped!"
"Oh?"
Cai Yuan looked surprised. Why had he stopped running? Could he be plotting something else? He swept his gaze ahead and saw that the Black Mist had dimmed somewhat.
That meant they had already left the Black Mist's range.
"Could it be... he has nowhere left to run?"
Without the Black Mist's cover, his ability to conceal himself would be weakened. Besides... he had been marked with a Hunting Mark, so they could easily locate him.
No matter how he calculated it, the advantage seemed to be on their side. The scales of victory were tipping in their favor.
"Come on. Tighten the formation and slow down a little."
Having learned his lesson, Cai Yuan no longer intended to give the enemy another chance to ambush them. He became especially cautious.
Lin Dong had already left the Black Mist's coverage and arrived in the city center. Clearly, this was no longer Mist's so-called "territory," but an area occupied by another Zombie King.
Lin Dong figured that since the humans were so active and full of energy, they might as well do some work for him first. They could clear out the zombies in this district before dying, maximizing
