Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran did not delay for even a moment and flew to the suburbs on the helicopter.
"4th of July was one of Lixin's important exams. Lixin is likely to have gone there. More than 50 minutes had passed before the apocalypse started which should have given him enough time to arrive at school safely. So, we'll start the search from the high school division. If we can't find him at his high school, we'll follow the road Lixin would take to return home and search the area around those parts." Song Haoran commanded Lin Wenbo and the ten soldiers accompanying them.
"Yes, sir." The subordinates saluted in unison. They were all men who participated in the special forces training camp. They had trained together with Gong Lixin for half a year and obviously cared about the child.
"These are night vision goggles and silencers. Everyone, be sure to equip them; zombies are very sensitive to light and sound. Any sound or light could lead to us being chased by a horde of zombies. Everyone, be careful." Song Haoran handed out military equipment that had been prepared in advance. Everyone quickly took the equipment in the box and configured their equipment.

"Xiaoxin was dressed in a pure white T-shirt and light blue jeans. Everyone should pay attention to that clothing combination when searching. Whether it's a living person or a zombie, pay attention." Lin Wenbo said the last part of the sentence with a numb voice. His heart felt like it was being torn apart by the claws of a monster, making it unbearably painful.
Song Haoran suddenly turned his head and stared at Lin Wenbo. A pair of raging inferno orbs violently glared at Lin Wenbo as if it was trying to set the man on fire.
"Don't look at me like that!" Lin Wenbo clenched his eyes shut, his face covered in pain. "Don't forget that Xiaoxin also got a fever which means his body also changed. Right now, he may have become an ability user but it is also likely that he became a zombie. You better prepare yourself."
Song Haoran slowly opened his mouth. His face distorted for a moment but he stood firm. "No matter what he's become, I'll still find him." If Lixin had really become a zombie, he would set the other free. Surely, such a person with a pure mind wouldn't be able to stand becoming a cannibalistic monster!
Song Haoran concealed the second half of his thoughts. Visible blue veins appeared on his forearm as he squeezed the back of his handgun with excessive force.
The helicopter was soon above a large stadium and everyone checked their equipment again. They made sure that the military satellite communicator was still operational before going down the rope to reach the ground.
The mobile phone and optical cable signal stations on Earth were all disturbed by an unknown electromagnetic pulse which made it impossible to contact anybody with conventional means. Fortunately, the military's communication satellite was far away, in space, and was not affected by that mysterious electromagnetic pulse. With their satellite communicator they could contact the helicopter immediately after they found Gong Lixin.

The helicopter projected a vertical beam of light on the ground and the propellers caused a loud ruckus as it kept spinning. The zombies, like moths to a flame, rushed toward the light and sound.
The twelve people descending landed in less than three minutes. Down on the ground, they immediately took out their guns and killed the approaching zombies. Then they quickly left and ran towards Gong Lixin's high school.
