The burly man clutched his head and roared, "You brat... are you tired of living?"
I quickly forced a smile and said, "Big brother, please calm down! Calm down! This... this is all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"
This muscular guy looked like a walking powder keg with a temper even more explosive than Zhong Dali's.
I pulled Zhong Dali over and whispered in his ear, "Can you... be a bit more reliable?"
Zhong Dali wore an innocent expression. "I... I didn't do it on purpose..."
I rolled my eyes at him. This guy was truly more trouble than he was worth.
How could he even say it wasn't intentional? That brick he threw nearly cracked the guy's skull open. If this were peacetime, it would definitely qualify as intentional injury!
The burly man's subordinates had already surrounded us.
Each one looked fierce and menacing, brandishing weapons as if they were ready to fight.
I thought to myself... this is bad.
It seemed today... there was no way to avoid trouble.
I should have consulted an oracle before leaving home to see if today was a good day to go out.
Just then, the mysterious girl suddenly spoke up.
"Stop!"
She stepped in front of me.
"They... are my friends."
This girl really came through in a critical moment.
The burly man froze.
"Your friends?"
He scrutinized the mysterious girl from head to toe.
"Who are you?"
I could guess that the burly man was thinking, this little girl looks so delicate and weak, yet she dares to meddle in my business?
The mysterious girl did not respond.
She simply stared coldly at the burly man.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
A scent of gunpowder filled the air, making it feel like an explosion could happen at any moment.
I silently prayed in my heart.
I hoped that this girl could hold her ground against these guys.
The aura of the mysterious girl was indeed powerful.
Her gaze seemed capable of freezing anyone in place, even more terrifying than when my mother chased me with a feather duster back in the day.
The strong man's subordinates dared not make a move.
It seemed they were intimidated by her stare, each one of them huddled like quails, shrinking their necks and remaining silent.
The strong man also appeared hesitant.
It seemed this girl was no ordinary person; even he had to think twice.
Just then, a commotion erupted from a distance.
"What’s going on?" The strong man furrowed his brow.
One of his subordinates rushed over to report.
"Boss! It's bad! A large horde of zombies is coming this way!"
The strong man's expression changed dramatically.
"Damn it! How could this happen?"
It was truly a case of misfortune piling on misfortune; the zombies couldn't have arrived at a worse time.
He glanced at us.
"You all heard that, right?"
I nodded.
"It looks like we have to cooperate for now," the strong man said.
The plot twist came too quickly; just moments ago, we were ready to fight, and now we had to work together.
"Cooperation?" I was somewhat surprised.
"That's right," the burly man said, "now is not the time for infighting. We must first address the threat of the zombies."
This burly man had a good sense of the situation; he understood that with a great enemy at hand, we should unite against it.
I thought for a moment and found his reasoning sound. The current circumstances indeed did not favor internal conflict.
"Alright," I said, "I agree to cooperate."
The mysterious girl did not voice any objections either.
Thus, we reached a temporary cooperation agreement with the Flame Mercenary Group.
This agreement was established faster than when Zhong Dali and I went to the market to buy vegetables.
The burly man assigned us to defend the western side of the base.
It was said that this western side was the main direction from which the zombies would attack.
We immediately headed to our designated position.
As I walked, I pondered.
Was this cooperation really reliable?
I couldn't shake the feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Would the Flame Mercenary Group truly cooperate with us sincerely?
My heart was filled with doubts.
Once we arrived at the western side, I immediately began to set up defensive fortifications.
The defenses on this side were nothing short of shoddy; any zombie could easily knock them down.
Zhong Dali also joined in to help.
Although this guy was usually unreliable, he put in a lot of effort when it mattered most.
The mysterious girl was responsible for keeping watch.
Her perception was incredibly sharp.
Any rustle or movement would not escape her eyes.
As I worked, I observed the members of the Flame Mercenary Group.
I noticed that there was a hint of vigilance in their gazes.
It seemed they did not trust us either.
A cold smile crept into my heart.
Since that was the case,
let's each harbor our own secrets.
Night fell.
The howls of zombies grew closer.
The sound sent chills down my spine, more terrifying than my mother's lion's roar.
We all entered a state of combat readiness.
I tightened my grip on my weapon,
preparing to face the impending battle.
Suddenly, I noticed a member of the Flame Mercenary Corps sneaking away from the group.
He headed toward the back of the base.
My heart stirred.
What did this guy intend to do?
I decided to follow him and see.
I quietly trailed behind the member of the Flame Mercenary Corps.
He arrived at a secluded corner of the base.
Then, he pulled out a communicator from his pocket.
He began to contact someone.
I hid in the shadows.
Listening carefully to his conversation.
"Hey... it's me... I've infiltrated the base according to plan..."
"The target is already hooked..."
"Everything is under control..."
A chill ran down my spine.
Indeed, there was a problem!
This Flame Mercenary Corps is a traitor!
He was sent by the opposing forces!
His purpose is to collaborate from within.
To destroy our base!
I must return immediately to inform everyone!
Just as I was about to turn and leave,
the member of the Flame Mercenary Corps suddenly turned around.
He spotted me!
"Who’s there?" he shouted sharply.
