Fuck to Death the Villains (H)

46 Split into Two Groups

Ren Yue spent the next few days in a relatively leisurely manner, patrolling according to his shifts, occasionally encountering a few zombies to practice his skills as if it were a game, and only worked hard at night - in bed. Although there was no Internet and no computer, he hadn't touched those things for at least several months, so he didn't miss them that much.

It wasn't until the beginning of another corpse tide that he finally found something to do.

The patrolmen received news that the orderly movement of the zombies did not seem to be radiating from one point, but were located in the east and west directions of the base.

"Two?" Yaoyong tapped the table with his fingers, "Why, do you still want to play the pinch?"

"Looking at this situation, unless the mutant zombies have evolved to the point where they can control their companions from a distance... then there are indeed two of them."

"Divide the troops into two groups?" someone suggested.

Yao Yong thought about it for a moment and nodded. This was the only way.

Ren Yue had been sitting in the background, but when everyone started discussing who should go where, he took the initiative to speak up: "I'll go to the west."

Yao Yong glanced at him. With Ren Yue's special ability, he would be more assured if he could lead a group of people to Xibian'er alone. Besides, Xibian'er was farther away from the base, so he would of course stay away from the base as short as possible. After all, people's hearts were unpredictable, and he knew that the risk would be high if he left for too long.

So the matter was agreed upon. Ren Yue's true ability level was announced to the public some time ago. Of course, the so-called public refers to the few people above. Now that everyone knows this fact, they have no objection to Ren Yue leading a team to act on his own.

Qi Yangshu was so excited after he found out that Ren Yue's ability was A+ that he followed him around like a star and asked him questions, which annoyed him to death. During this operation, Qi Yangshu was the first to follow Ren Yue, saying that he wanted to see the A+ level up close.

Yao Yong was glad to have one less chatterbox around him, so he immediately threw Qi Yangshu to Ren Yue's place, so Ren Yue was fully prepared to chatter all the way. Unexpectedly, Si Ruizhen, who had been working as a logistics member in the base, insisted on coming along. Yao Yong thought that there wouldn't be any big danger, and Si Ruizhen was a self-protective person, so it wouldn't be a big deal for him to take up the back seat. Besides, if there was really an emergency, he could help, right?

So Yao Yong didn't realize the reason, and Ren Yue didn't realize it at first either - until Si Ruizhen's eyes were fixed on the back of Qi Yangshu's driving seat like a sharp sword, Ren Yue realized... they were kindred spirits.

"Qi Yangshu..." Ren Yue couldn't help but speak.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Qi Yangshu stopped speaking halfway and continued driving without looking around.

"Talk less while driving, and be careful."

"Hey, you know I've been driving for years, so there's no way anything could go wrong if we just talk a few words. Don't tell me, before..."

Ren Yue felt uncomfortable listening to Qi Yangshu chatting and talking nonsense with him again, coupled with the snoring of the two people in the back seat and the unhappy look of Si Ruizhen hidden behind the lens.

"Oh, well, I remember you two were classmates, right?"

"Yeah, have you forgotten? We ran away from school together and ran into the boss and you guys!" Qi Yangshu chuckled twice, "We're close friends, we've known each other since junior high school! At first we were..."

Qi Yangshu started talking nonsense again, but at least the topic this time was somewhat related to Si Ruizhen. Ren Yue could clearly feel that the unhappy mood in the back seat had eased a lot.

He sighed in his heart, thinking that it was so pure yet difficult for young people to fall in love.

Ren Yue then silently observed the interactions of this "young couple", just as a spice in their boring lives. On the one hand, they were carefree and had no intention of falling in love at all, while on the other hand, they had a lot of sneaky thoughts but kept them to themselves. No wonder they ended up like this.

But soon he no longer cared about other people's affairs.

Because it was supposed to be the time when the zombie tide was coming, Ren Yue found that the zombies seemed to be normal.

At first he wondered if the mutant zombies had learned to disguise themselves, but it didn't seem like that. He went to the corresponding location based on the previous reports and waited for at least two days, but not only did he not find any mutant zombies, he didn't even find any traces.

This situation made him feel very irritated, and the others felt the same way. In the past, they would just fight the zombies whenever they encountered them, and it all depended on who had stronger abilities and quicker reactions. But now it was like a game of hide-and-seek, and the enemy was in the dark while they were in the light. It made people feel uneasy. After wandering around for two days, Ren Yue and his team could not find any suspicious traces, and it was not like what was described in the report at all. Everyone said that since this was the case, they could just clean it up, and if they still couldn't find it after the tide of corpses passed, they could come back next time. This idea was not unreasonable, but Ren Yue became more and more uneasy. He always felt that this was not a solution.

Could it be that the zombies would retreat too? Ren Yue asked the system in his mind whether the zombies could sense the strength of the enemy. He thought that maybe the enemy hid because he, an A+ level psychic, was approaching. The system continued to remain clueless about this, which made Ren Yue very angry.

[Then you must know whether the mutant zombies are nearby, right? This is the mission objective after all.]

Originally, Ren Yue didn't hold out hope and just asked casually, but he didn't expect the system to actually know this time and gave the answer "not there".

If they are not nearby, then they have really retreated. In that case, there is no point in chasing them further.

There is another possibility...

"Let's go back to the base." The next night, Ren Yue finally made a decision.

"Going back now? But we haven't caught that mutant zombie yet!" The second-in-command who was traveling with them disagreed. It had only been two days since they left, and if they were to go back home without completing the mission, the boss might hold them accountable.

Ren Yue was also decisive this time: "Let's turn back now. I think something is wrong this time. That mutant zombie... may not even be in this area."

"so?"

"And did you notice that the zombies around here not only behave normally...but their numbers are also unusually small compared to the corpse tide?"

The man took a long time to figure out what was going on: "You mean, the mutant zombie is not here, and he brought a large number of 'subordinates' with him?"

Ren Yue nodded.

"But where can they go?" Qi Yangshu's mind was already a mess, and he asked with frowned brows.

Si Ruizhen, who was standing behind him, was surprised and looked at Ren Yue: "You don't think they are..."

Qi Yangshu turned his head back and forth and saw that the expressions of several people became serious. It felt that his brain could not keep up with this speed at all: "What are they doing? Please explain yourself clearly!"

Ren Yue patted his shoulder and said, "Drive quickly. Let's go back now and I'll tell you on the way."

In addition to their relatively high-level combat vehicle, there were several other vehicles. Ren Yue turned around and told them not to enter the base with his vehicle after they returned, but to stay at the outermost layer on the west side of the base to defend, just in case.

He got into the car and took the passenger seat, looking at the empty road and plain, hoping in his heart that it was not as he had guessed.
