“I think Little Xue will definitely be okay!”

“Hmm…”

Li Qiuyu obviously didn’t believe that.

At this moment, Wei Zhenguo and a few others came over and said to the three women:

“Have you all packed your things?”

Since Wang Tao said he would take them away today, they had to be ready, even though he really did not know how Wang Tao was going to get them out… Could they possibly fly out?

“Yes, we’ve packed up too.”

Han Rui nodded.

“Alright, then I’ll call everyone else over; hopefully everything goes smoothly for Wang Tao…”

Wei Zhenguo gathered everyone together.

There were 22 people in total. Besides a few of their core members, the rest were survivors they had encountered on the road. If they felt someone was of good character, they kept them in the group.

Since they had been on the move, the size of their team had essentially not expanded, with the number fluctuating around twenty.

The rest of the team members knew that someone was coming to rescue them today, but they weren’t too excited. After all, their previous plan involved drawing the zombies’ attention while they made a forced breakout.

The plan was very risky, and there would definitely be casualties! Thus, far from being excited, they were filled with a sense of grim determination…

Just then, someone standing at a high point with a pair of binoculars suddenly spoke up:

“Captain! A Level 3, Lord Zombie is coming this way!”

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up.

In this group, the strongest were Wei Zhenguo and a few others, but all were Level Two. They had already struggled against the horde, and if a Level 3 Lord Zombie attacked their temporary camp, then they would be in even more trouble.

“Don’t panic!”

Wei Zhenguo ran to a higher ground, took out the binoculars, and saw a Level 3 Lord Zombie approaching their location.

They had spotted about three to five Level 3 Lord Zombies in this horde, but not all of them would come at once, only occasionally one or two Level 3 Lords would attack the base.

But whenever they came, everyone had to give their all.

Unfortunately, their luck was not good today as a Level 3 Lord Zombie arrived early in the morning.

Wei Zhenguo quickly checked and, confirming there was only this one zombie, immediately gave an order.

“Grab the gasoline and light up the fire barrels around us!”

“Got it!”

Everyone immediately grabbed the gasoline and poured it into the iron barrels around the base, then ignited the gasoline inside.

Boom!

In an instant, flames surrounded the entire camp. Even the rain wasn’t enough to extinguish the fire.

But Wei Zhenguo didn’t feel much relief; after all, this was the last of their gasoline. They might be able to hold off the zombies until the gasoline burned out, but what would happen after that?

Zombie Lords generally brought minions with them or could control other zombies. This was one way to tell if a zombie was a Lord.

Like the zombie that was approaching now, although it didn’t have minions, as soon as it arrived, ordinary zombies immediately gathered around it, bringing a group of other zombies to the outskirts of the camp.

Facing the flames, the ordinary zombies were somewhat afraid and halted in their tracks. The Level 3 Lord Zombie, although also instinctively afraid, wasn’t so scared that it wouldn’t dare to come closer.

It stood outside the flames and howled, staring at the people on the rooftop with its pale grey eyes, giving off a feeling it could leap in at any moment.

Everyone was on edge.

If the Level 3 Lord forcibly assaulted their camp, they definitely would not be able to hold it back.

Fortunately, the Level 3 Lord Zombie just roared outside and didn’t actually charge in.

This allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, but before they could speak, they saw another Lord Zombie approaching from another direction!

“Here comes another one!”

Everyone’s faces looked grim.

They could deal with one Level 3 Lord Zombie if they worked together, but two would be a different story.

“It looks like… there’s another!”

Someone noticed that yet another Level 3 Lord Zombie was coming from a different direction!

Three Level 3 Lord Zombies had effectively surrounded their camp.

Although the flames kept the Lord Zombies at bay for the moment, the gasoline was burning out fast!

Once it did, they would have to face the assault of three Level 3 Lord Zombies… They wouldn’t be able to hold out!

“Looks like we’re going to have to fight hard in a bit…”

Wei Zhenguo sighed helplessly.

He wasn’t surprised by the situation; when they were surrounded by the horde, he had already prepared for the worst.

The others were silent. So a battle was inevitable, after all? The so-called rescue probably wasn’t going to arrive in time.

Everyone felt downhearted.

No one wanted to die, but in this situation, even if they could escape, there probably wouldn’t be many who’d make it out alive.

Watching the flames in the surrounding barrels grow smaller, nobody spoke, but everyone was prepared for the last stand.

Suddenly, someone’s ears twitched, and they said with uncertainty:

“Do you hear a ‘buzzing’ sound?”

“Huh? Do we? I haven’t heard anything, just the sound of rain…”

Some shook their heads.

“I think I heard it too…”

But there were those who said they heard it.

Wei Zhenguo and the others exchanged glances, confusion in their eyes—they had heard it too.

“There definitely is a buzzing sound, but why does it sound so familiar…”
