Chapter 758: 404 Start!_2

Gradually, the time reached 8:30 in the morning. By then, the team attacking Luyun County was almost at their destination, assuming nothing unforeseen had occurred on the road.

Fang Yuxin was still idly wandering the commercial street of the base, pretending to shop, admiring the goods in the stores. Suddenly, the piercing sound of an alarm blared throughout the base! The sound was very sharp, somewhat reminiscent of an air raid siren. As soon as the noise sounded, Fang Yuxin saw the faces around her turn pale with panic as people anxiously looked outside, trying to discern what had happened.

The alarm sounded several times, followed by everyone’s wrist communicators going off, and announcements also came through the loudspeakers on the streets. Everyone instinctively looked down at their wrist communicators, including Fang Yuxin. The communicators were ringing because they had received a message; it was an announcement stating that high-level zombies had infiltrated the base, and everyone should return home, lock their doors and windows, and not come out.

The loudspeakers on the streets broadcasted a similar message. The content conveyed the same instruction to everyone—to return home, lock the doors and windows, and not to go outside.

Clearly, those people had made their move! However, the fact that they were able to send out such a message meant they were not completely heartless. They didn’t mean to drag innocent residents into the conflict.

Fang Yuxin’s expression darkened as she saw the people around her running frantically in all directions. Meanwhile, the shopkeeper said to her, "We’re closing up, you should hurry home, too!"

Fang Yuxin didn’t respond; she turned and headed outside. Instead of going home, she used her Spiritual Sense to scan her surroundings as she walked, eventually reaching a secluded corner. Once sure there was no one watching, she promptly brought out her Invisibility Jade Pendant. With an invisible ripple spreading outward, Fang Yuxin vanished on the spot.

After the Jade Pendant was activated, it opened a unique barrier that enveloped her completely. This was no ordinary barrier but a folded space; she could see others, but they couldn’t see her, nor could they even touch her, as if she did not exist at all.

Wearing the Jade Pendant, Fang Yuxin headed straight for Zhao Qiankun’s research institute. She did not care about the struggle between Bai Zhengyi and the Qiankun Mercenary Group. She had no intention to interfere; her goal was Zhao Qiankun’s research institute, along with its various research materials and findings.

Snowflakes as big as goose feathers were falling from the sky, layering the streets. Snow had already been falling since last night, covering the streets with a thick layer. But by the time Fang Yuxin and the others ventured out, the snow on the roads and rooftops had been cleared. Unfortunately, it was too cold, and the snow had started to fall again.

The white snow settled on the streets, forming a thin layer. Many people, in their panic, trampled over the snowy ground, muddying the pristine surface and leaving behind a mess of disordered footprints. However, where Fang Yuxin passed, not a single footprint was left, and no one knew of her existence.

Fang Yuxin soon arrived at Zhao Qiankun’s research institute, a place guarded far more heavily than Bai Yi’s former Secret Research Institute!

Fang Yuxin stood across from the institute, observing from a distance and waiting in silence. Soon enough, the people she waited for arrived. Members of the White Wolf Mercenary Corps drove up to the institute’s entrance in a truck, then, as the doors opened, they burst out like fierce wolves and charged directly toward the main entry of the institute.

However, before they could reach the door, a squad charged out from the institute as well, each one of them armed and ready, their dark gun barrels aimed squarely at the members of the White Wolf Mercenary Corps.

Although high-level zombies were no longer afraid of bullets, and regular bullets inflicted only limited damage, humans were different. Vital areas on a human body are abundant, and even superpower users could not escape vulnerability. Shot in a critical spot meant certain death, while a bullet wound to the limbs would result in a temporary loss of combat capability!

Thus, despite the fact that firearms were rarely used against zombies, they still held a powerful deterrent effect on humans. However, the members of the Qiankun Mercenary Group had guns, and so did the White Wolf Mercenary Corps!

Both sides pointed their dark muzzles at each other. At the same time, they all wore bulletproof vests and steel helmets. Members of the Qiankun Mercenary Group shouted angrily, "What do you think you’re doing? This place belongs to the Qiankun Mercenary Group, and outsiders are not allowed! Trespass and we will show no mercy!"

The members of the White Wolf Mercenary Corps clearly had their excuse prepared, shouting back just as loudly, "We’ve received reliable information that a high-level zombie has infiltrated the base, and it may have gone into the research institute. We must go in to check!"

After a period of mutual shouting, seeing that words were getting them nowhere, the tense standoff escalated. As the first gunshot rang out, a barrage of bullets followed. Along with the sound of gunfire, all the superpower users utilized every means at their disposal to enhance their defenses, some covering themselves with a layer of hard ice, others with metal.

Seeing that these people had ways to protect themselves, Fang Yuxin decided not to make a move and continued to wait. It wasn’t the right moment yet; real chaos had not begun, and she couldn’t take advantage of the confusion.

In Beishi Base, the White Wolf Mercenary Corps had already started causing trouble, and not far away in Luyun County, the battle had also broken out completely. Luyun County was teeming with zombies. Although quite a few had been killed over the past three months, the number of zombies there was still vast.

To eradicate these zombies, Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi had spared no expense. The total force added up to 50,000 people, and they poured into the county inexhaustibly.

With an angry roar, hidden zombies lurking within Luyun County surged out, greedily and fiercely pouncing on the Corpse Hunters.
