Chapter 168 Searching for Survivors
What benefit would it bring to the person behind this operation to keep these zombies within this area?
For a moment, Han Bei couldn't think of any possibility.
After all, this kind of thing is really quite unbelievable.
"Should we look for survivors first?"
Han Bei's gaze couldn't help but fall on Su Yang and Guo Yong.
"Can."
Su Yang nodded.
They now have four days left to travel back in time.
It shouldn't be too difficult to spend a day or two finding the survivors here.
Then, after exploring the area for another day, you'll have explored most of it.
As for the last day, they will most likely choose to go to the vicinity of that lithography main plant.
You don't have to go in; you can just stay on the outskirts a short distance away.
If this time the portal can open completely and reliably, just like last time.
Therefore, taking over that lithography plant was their primary objective in bringing their troops here.
"Since few of these zombies have ventured to the outer perimeter, the survivors shouldn't be too difficult to find."
Guo Yong frowned and said in a deep voice.
After all, there isn't much danger in the outer area.
The survivors in this city are likely to lower their guard.
Another one.
This place is almost a completely different place from the city they came from.
The buildings here are almost all wooden houses, and no one lives in them.
A little careful observation is all it takes to determine this.
Unlike concrete buildings, log cabins are not easily found once abandoned.
Therefore, Guo Yong is not worried about not being able to find another group of survivors.
His only worry was that the survivors would rather die than live in dishonor.
This was what caused Guo Yong some trouble, along with the dense number of zombies in that area.
Their current ammunition is insufficient for them to carry out a new round of fire coverage.
Therefore, finding a way to ensure everyone's safety upon entry becomes especially important.
"Begin the search. If you encounter any survivors in this city, do not kill them immediately. Try to communicate with them first. If they are willing to communicate, then proceed to the next step."
"If the other party is unwilling."
Guo Yong's eyes turned cold as he spoke. "Kill him on the spot. No need for further explanation."
In the end times, the last thing we need is to be soft-hearted.
Who can know what kind of butterfly effect their letting those people go will cause?
"clear!"
Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison.
After two hours of searching, Zhu Haotian and his team finally discovered traces of a group of survivors.
"Captain Guo, we've found traces of survivors here!"
After Zhu Haotian discovered a group of survivors not far from them using a drone, he immediately informed Guo Yong and others about the situation via walkie-talkie.
Upon hearing this, Guo Yong quickly led his men over.
the other side.
A group of survivors, gathering supplies from all directions, were searching for resources among the houses on both sides of the road.
The leader, by chance, looked up and happened to spot the drone flying high in the sky.
Everyone must immediately find a place to hide.
When Zhu Haotian saw the survivors rapidly entering various houses in the drone footage...
He couldn't help but frown.
Judging from this situation, the other party had obviously discovered the drone, which is why they adopted an evasive strategy.
"Boss, are those things flying in the sky part of the Empire's surveillance network?"
One of the survivors, hiding inside a house, stared in horror at the drone hovering high in the sky.
A sense of dread, as if shackled by imperial surveillance, washed over him.
"Not really."
The leader, named He Dong, was also the head of these survivors and the second-in-command of the base.
At this moment, He Dong was staring at the drone hovering high in the sky.
Hearing Cai Su's words beside him, he couldn't help but shake his head.
He had seen the imperial surveillance shackles several times.
Even the latest generation of surveillance shackles doesn't look like something floating in mid-air.
"But besides the surveillance shackles, are there other things that fly in the sky?"
Cai Su still spoke with some apprehension.
His parents, even his grandfather, and him.
Three generations of the family lived under the surveillance and shackles of the empire.
When he was a child, he also witnessed several relatives who were dissatisfied with the emperor.
After saying a few bad things about the emperor, he was discovered by the surveillance shackles.
Not long after, he was arrested by the Imperial military.
I heard news of those relatives again half a month later.
The Empire notified them to collect the body and pay a collection fee.
If they don't pay, those people will just lie dead in the wilderness.
But where did they get the money?
In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the bodies of those people were carried away by a pack of wolves in the dead of night.
And this matter.
This also left a deep psychological scar on Cai Su's mind.
Every time Cai Su saw the imperial surveillance shackles, a feeling of fear would involuntarily well up in his heart.
even if.
So many years have passed since the emperor's death.
Upon seeing the drone flying high in the sky, Cai Su subconsciously regarded it as a surveillance shackle of the empire.
"Let's stay here and see if that thing leaves."
He Dong did not reprimand Cai Su upon hearing his words; instead, he comforted him.
after all.
He was also once monitored by the Imperial surveillance shackles.
He was extremely familiar with that thing.
Logically speaking, after the emperor's death, those shackles should have been rendered useless long ago.
Even if it is to be reused.
Then there should also be news of a new emperor's ascension to the throne.
But over the years, there hasn't been a single piece of related news, and He Dong has never thought about it in that direction.
If even the emperor is dead, how could those who are qualified to inherit the throne possibly survive?
Even if you are alive.
That's impossible. To ascend the throne amidst such a vast number of zombies within the empire's borders and then reinstate those surveillance shackles.
At the moment, He Dong can't think of any benefit in these matters.
just.
If it's not an imperial surveillance shackle, then what is this thing floating in mid-air?
So far, He Dong has only seen one thing of this type that can float high in the air: the Imperial Surveillance Shackles.
Just now.
Dozens of white figures slowly approaching them from not far away immediately caught He Dong's attention.
"Someone's there!"
He Dong was startled and quietly made a hand gesture, signaling everyone to hide quickly so as not to be discovered by the other party.
Even if He Dong doesn't say it.
Everyone else automatically moved to hidden spots when they saw Han Bei and the others wearing white protective suits.
Try not to reveal any part of your body.
