"You... have you lost your mind?!" He clearly didn't expect me to act this way, his movements momentarily frozen.
Now's my chance!
I surged forward, delivering a sharp elbow strike to his abdomen.
He let out a muffled groan, his body curling up like a shrimp, and the dagger slipped from his grasp, clattering to the ground.
Seizing the opportunity, I snatched the dagger and spun around, pressing the blade against his throat.
"Speak! What is your true intention?!" I demanded coldly, my voice betraying a hint of tremor.
Damn it, playing tough is indeed an art; I almost scared myself to death.
His face turned pale, eyes filled with terror.
"I... I..."
Just as he stammered, a louder explosion suddenly echoed from afar.
Boom!
The deafening blast shook the entire base.
"This is bad! It's the main entrance!" His expression shifted drastically, clearly caught off guard by how quickly the enemy had breached our defenses.
A wave of dread washed over me; damn it, everything was falling apart now.
It seemed the opposing forces were eager to strike, not even bothering to deal with the traitor among us.
"You! Come with me!" I grabbed him and rushed toward the entrance of the base without hesitation.
Since he knew so much, he still had some value.
Halfway there, I suddenly spotted Zhong Dali flailing around like a headless chicken, mumbling something like "Wow! Wow!"
I could have smashed him with a brick; he was nothing but a walking troublemaker.
"Zhong Dali! Over here!" I shouted.
Hearing my voice, he froze for a moment before hurriedly running over.
"Brother Wei! Are you okay? I heard explosions!" His simple face was filled with anxiety.
I rolled my eyes, too lazy to waste time on him.
"Stop talking! Hurry up and follow me! The enemy is breaking in!"
The three of us quickened our pace, and when we reached the main entrance of the base, the sight before me made me gasp.
Dozens of mutated zombies were frantically assaulting the defenses. Their bodies were several times stronger than ordinary zombies, and some even had sharp bone spikes and thick shells.
The members of the Flame Mercenary Corps were fighting desperately, but it was clear they were starting to struggle.
"Damn it! Are these bastards insane?!" roared the burly leader, his face smeared with blood.
I focused my gaze and saw Xie Yutong watching coldly from the crowd, a faint smirk playing at the corners of her mouth.
A chill ran down my spine; it was indeed her!
This woman is more terrifying than a zombie.
“Wei Na! What should we do?” Zhong Dali asked anxiously.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.
Now is not the time to panic; in moments like this, it’s crucial to stay clear-headed.
“Listen! Zhong Dali, you’re in charge of the frontal assault, draw their fire!” I quickly issued the command.
“Me?” Zhong Dali was taken aback. “Brother Wei, how can I do it alone?”
“Just go! No more nonsense!” I snapped back.
He looked aggrieved but still obediently charged forward.
“Wow!” he shouted as he lunged at a mutated zombie.
The zombie was sent flying from his impact, knocking down several others in the process.
I couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly; this kid might not be the brightest, but he certainly had strength.
“Mysterious Girl, you’re in charge of flank support. Take out those mutated zombies attacking from a distance!” I turned to the mysterious girl.
She nodded without saying much and vanished into the darkness in a flash.
“And you,” I said, looking at the mercenary I had captured, “tell me their weaknesses!”
He trembled slightly, his eyes filled with terror.
"I... I don't know!"
"Don't know?" I sneered, lightly dragging the dagger across his neck. "Then let me make you know!"
Feeling the sting on his neck, he finally broke down.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! They... they are most afraid of... light!"
"Light?" My heart stirred; just as I suspected.
These mutated zombies, though physically strong, were extremely sensitive to light.
That was their fatal weakness!
"Very good!" I grinned, a sly smile creeping across my face. "You are quite valuable!"
As I directed Zhong Dali and the mysterious girl, I exploited the weakness provided by the mercenary, continuously attacking the mutated zombies.
Zhong Dali charged like a bulldozer, leaving no zombie unscathed in his path.
The mysterious girl was like the Grim Reaper, each shot she took precisely hitting the zombies' vital points.
However, just as we began to gain the upper hand, an unexpected event occurred.
The mercenary I had captured suddenly broke free from my restraints and lunged at me.
"Die! Wei Na!" His eyes were filled with madness as he thrust the dagger fiercely toward my chest.
I was taken aback; damn it, this guy had been holding back!
"You... what do you want?"
I didn't answer; I simply smiled mysteriously and pulled a bottle from my pocket.
"This is... the latest variant of the Soul Devouring Virus... guess what... it will turn you into?"
His face turned pale the moment he saw what was inside the bottle.
"No! Don't!" he screamed in agony.
"Tell me! Who sent you?" I asked coldly.
He finally broke down, spilling everything like beans from a bamboo tube.
It turned out he was an undercover agent sent by Qin Baye!
Qin Baye, the warlord of the apocalypse, the ruler of the technological city "Iron Fortress."
His goal was to swallow up all survivor factions!
A chill ran through me; Qin Baye was indeed formidable.
Just then, a series of even more intense explosions echoed from afar.
"This is bad! Other factions are attacking!" The burly leader's expression changed drastically.
I thought to myself, it seems Qin Baye wants to take advantage of this zombie tide to eliminate all factions that do not submit to him in one fell swoop.
"Everyone, pay attention! The enemy isn't just the zombies!" I shouted, "There are other survivor factions too!"
