nThe bullet hit Alex’s brow bone!

n“Good marksmanship!”

nFang Heng raised his eyebrows and gave a compliment.

nThe unconscious Alex ended up with a white mark on his forehead.

nAfter being shot, Alex immediately showed signs of waking up.

nThe vines on his body squirmed rapidly.

n“Bang!”

nChen Yu raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

nThe bullet hit Alex on the cheek.

nAlex had completely woken up.

nHe supported himself with one hand and slowly stood up. Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at Fang Heng and the others.

nAt the same time, Sister Li activated her perception barrier at once, blocking the senses of the ordinary zombies around her.

nAlex was a Tier 4 mutated zombie, so he wasn’t affected by the perception barrier.

nHe locked his eyes on Fang Heng and the others, then quickly chased after Chen Yu.

n“Run!”

nFang Heng shouted and everyone turned around to run!

nAlex continued to chase until he was led to the central intersection that Fang Heng had planned out beforehand.

nHao Zhou stared at the position where Alex was moving.

n“He’s coming!”

nHao Zhou pressed the detonation button for the small explosives.

n“Boom!!!!”

nThe twelve small explosives that had been installed at the central intersection exploded at the same time!

nThe timing was just right.

nThe explosion point was triggered perfectly!

nFang Heng was also staring at Alex.

nHe was glad to have met Hao Zhou, a genius in explosives!

nIn an instant, a huge explosion resounded throughout Hope Town.

nThe ground shook violently.

nAlmost all the zombies in the town turned to look in the direction of the explosion at the same time.

nThey hesitated for about half a second.

nThen, they turned around and staggered toward the direction of the explosion.

nAlthough they were prepared, the loud explosion still made Chen Yu’s ears ring for a short while.

nHe felt his feet shake, and he couldn’t help but stagger.

nWhen he regained his balance, he saw yellow dust in front of him.

nHis vision was blocked, so he couldn’t see clearly what was happening inside the dust, let alone confirm Alex’s condition.

nChen Yu raised his vigilance.

nHe also noticed that the explosion was perfect, it was better than he had expected!

nHowever, it was impossible to kill Alex with the explosion alone!

nAt most, it would only injure Alex.

nHis ears were filled with the whimpering sounds of zombies.

nChen Yu turned his head again and saw the zombies rushing toward him from all directions.

n“Not good!”

nThe explosion was too successful, but it caused the zombies to gather here frantically.

nIf they didn’t run now, they would be surrounded by the zombies!

n“Run! If we don’t run now, it would be too…”

nWhile speaking, Chen Yu saw the blurry scene in the smoke, and the second half of his sentence was stuck in his throat.

nEh? Where’s Alex?

nWhere is he?

nChen Yu was still in a daze when he saw Fang Heng shouting.

n“Chen Yu! Quick! Bring your men and follow me!”

nChen Yu turned his head and saw Fang Heng take the lead to rush into the smoke.

nIn the blink of an eye, Fang Heng and Hao Zhou’s group disappeared into the smoke.

nWhere were they going?

nWhat was going on?

nChen Yu followed them and took two quick steps forward. He couldn’t help but be stunned.

nIt was a hole!!

nThe ground in the middle of the intersection had been blasted into a huge hole by the explosives.

nAlex had fallen into the deep hole because the ground had collapsed from the explosion.

nIt was pitch black below and it was hard to see what was there.

n“Quick!! Don’t just stand there! Come over together!”

nChen Yu turned his head and saw that the manhole cover of a sewer not far away had been lifted.

nHao Zhou stuck half of his head out of the sewer and waved at them.

nChen Yu suddenly understood.

nThat’s right, the hole was part of their plan!

nThe explosion itself was not to kill Alex but to create a hole in the ground.

nBut what happened next? What should he do next?

n“Captain? What should we do?”

n“Quick! Let’s go into the sewer together!”

nSeeing that the surrounding zombies were about to gather over, Chen Yu didn’t have time to think about these things.

nHe commanded his team members to quickly follow him and hide in the sewer.

nChen Yu was in charge of the rear. He was the last one to climb into the sewer and close the manhole cover.

nJust as he climbed down the ladder and landed on the ground, an indescribable stench assaulted his nostrils.

nSeeing the black face masks on the faces of Fang Heng and his team, Chen Yu suddenly understood something.

nSo the face masks were used at this time!

nHowever, Chen Yu was not in the mood to take the face mask from his backpack.

nHis gaze quickly moved away from Fang Heng and the others to look for Alex in the sewer.

nWhere was Alex?

nWhat was that?!

nAnother hole!?

nWhy was there such a big hole in the ground of the sewer?!

nChen Yu could not help but raise his head.

nThe hole in the ground that collapsed earlier was right above this hole.

nAfter the explosion, Alex, who was supposed to be at the centre of the intersection, would have fallen straight into the deep hole in the sewer!

nAll of this was Fang Heng’s plan?

nChen Yu was a little dumbfounded.

nHe walked quickly to the hole and looked down.

nThe hole was at least seven to eight meters deep!

n“Roar!!!”

nAlex, who had fallen into the deep hole, let out an angry roar.

n“Be careful!”

nWhile he was distracted, Chen Yu heard a loud shout.

nFang Heng pulled Chen Yu away from the hole.

n“Chi Chi Chi!!!”

nLooking down, a few vines shot out from the hole and stabbed into the spot where Chen Yu was standing.

nMore vines came out from the hole.

nThe vines stuck into the crack.

nAlex was using the vines that extended from his body to find a point of leverage!

nHe was trying to escape!

n“You still want to run?”

nKun Ta and Kun Ba each carried a barrel of gasoline and poured it on the vines. Then, they threw the remaining barrels into the hole and smashed them on Alex’s body.

n“Roar!!!!”

nAlex let out another roar. The vines that extended from his body contracted rapidly, and his body was pulled towards the top of the hole.

n“Get out of the way! I’ll do it!”

nFang Heng took out the focused flamethrower, took half a step forward and pressed the trigger as he aimed at the vines on the ground.

n“Boom!!!!”

nThin blue tongues of flames spat out.

nThe vines were flammable, to begin with, not to mention that there was a layer of gasoline attached to them!

nThe flames burned along the vines and spread to Alex’s body in the blink of an eye.

n“Roar!!!”

nAlex, who was using the contraction of the vines to stay in mid-air, was covered in flames. He let out a howl and fell into the hole once again!

nThis…

nSo this was Fang Heng’s plan. He was using the hole in the sewer to create a fire pit and burn the Tier 4 mutated zombie Alex to death!

nFrom the explosion to the deep hole to the fire pit…

nAll of this was orchestrated by them!

nIt was too shocking!

nThis huge hole was dug by his team?

nWhat the hell!

nHow long would it take to dig such a huge hole?

nIt had only been half a day since the federation issued the mission to the outside world?

nHow did they do it?

nEven if they didn’t eat or drink, they couldn’t dig such a huge hole continuously!

nCould it be that one of their talent skills was an excavator?

nChen Yu turned around and looked at Fang Heng in shock.

nHe noticed that Fang Heng was looking up, and a smile of success appeared on his face.

nWhat was that guy looking at?

nWith doubt, Chen Yu subconsciously looked up and followed Fang Heng’s gaze to the sky..
