Chen Hao and the other superpowered people unexpectedly fell into a disadvantage because the enemies were at a distance and they couldn't sense them.
Meanwhile, the enemies' bullets hit them accurately.
"Fall back!" Chen Hao crawled out of the van and gave his people a shout, then turned and ran into a building nearby. He didn't want to do that job in the first place. Now, as some people had shown up to stop him, he intended to make use of that opportunity and free himself from the mission.
So, Chen Hao soon led his people away from the upturned van.
Wang Jian wasn't expecting Chen Hao and his men to retreat so soon. With hesitation, he spent a few seconds observing, then rushed down with his people.
"Go! They have left! Let's go and save our people!"
At that moment, the people who were doing an ambush near the van had already rushed up, surrounding the van and rescuing the group of commoners who were tied up in the van.
Chen Hao and his people had retreated, while the people on the other two vehicles only had level-one superpowers. They were no match for Wang Jian and his men, so they were turned into corpses by the bullets before long.
The captives tied on those two vehicles were exhausted. They were close to the zombie crowd, so it was difficult for them to be rescued.
The vehicles stopped moving once the drivers died, but the zombies behind them didn't stop.
Wang Jian's men found a spot nearby, strafed the zombies, and stopped them from moving forward temporarily. Then, two relatively nimbler ones darted up and untied the captives to save them.
The bullets wouldn't hold the zombies back for long, so they needed to be very fast to save the two captives.
Xie Dong glanced at them, then at the zombie crowd which was growing larger and larger. He abruptly flashed across the air and landed somewhere that neither Wang Jian nor Chen Hao could see, then released his zombie king vibe that spread in no time.
Chen Hao, Wang Jian, and their people instantly sensed a dangerous vibe. Even as a commoner, Wang Jian sensed it clearly. Xie Dong's vibe was obviously too strong.
The zombies nearby reacted even more strongly. They paused simultaneously and stopped chasing the human scent, even though the source of that scent was right near them.
"Move! Move!" The zombies suddenly stopped moving, and the rescue team didn't have the time to wonder why. They only wanted to rescue their people as soon as they could. They were delighted nevertheless.
As Wang Jian's team completed the rescue mission, Xie Dong expressionlessly restrained his vibe. Lin Qiao told him not to interfere, and he did exactly what she said. He had merely released his vibe shortly, and that was no interference.
On the other side, Li Honglin and his people were slightly confused as they watched the zombies being lured away like the tidewater, but never saw an end of the zombie crowd. But all of a sudden, those zombies all stopped moving.
At the same time, Li Honglin, Lu Tong, and the other level-three superpowered ones suddenly felt an oppression from the direction that Chen Hao and his people moved in.
"That vibe..." Lu Tong knitted his brows. Something flashed across his mind, but he didn't grasp it.
"This is bad! It might be a high-leveled zombie!" Li Honglin had his expression changed. He didn't panic though.
There were certainly high-leveled zombies among such a huge group. Li Honglin had thought about that long ago. He was thinking that if any high-leveled zombies showed up, he and his people only needed to avoid them. However, he didn't think about whether those high-leveled zombies would let them go or not.
Thankfully, the zombies that they saw were gathered by Lin Qiao. Lin Qiao had brought away all the high-leveled ones. In a regular zombie crowd, some high-leveled zombies must exist.
The stupid Li Honglin believed that he was able to sense high-leveled zombies from distance away and then avoid them.
Both he and Chen Hao were commoners. They lived in the base and rarely went out to deal with zombies, not to mention high-leveled zombies. Lu Tong used to rely on his family for living, who died when Long Yubai attacked the base. He had never dealt with zombies either.
Some people tended to think too simply about the things that they hadn't have come across in person.
"Did Chen Hao and his men run into a high-level zombie?" Lu Tong said uncertainly.
"It's alright. We're all in the bus, and this vehicle is sealed. The zombies can't smell us, " Li Honglin turned and said to Lu Tong.
Lu Tong glanced outside the window; Li Honglin was right. The smells in the car didn't leak out. Many zombies passed by just now, but none of them noticed the people in the bus.
Thinking of that, Lu Tong relaxed slightly.
On the other side, Wang Jian rescued all his people and then hid inside a building. After that, he found that the zombies out there were still frozen.
"What happened to those zombies? It's like someone suddenly disabled them from moving!" said one of Wang Jian's men.
Some other people were dressing wounds for the group of captives. Earlier on, as the van was upturned, some of those captives were injured by the shattered glasses, and some had crush injuries.
"I don't know! No matter what, this is good for us, " Wang Jian said calmly. He stood by the window, observing the zombie crowd through a night-vision telescope.
At last, Li Honglin's plan was, of course, ruined.
Wang Jian and his men rescued their people, then took a detour toward All Beings Base that night. They needed to arrive at the new base as soon as they could. They hadn't eaten anything in two days; all they had was water. They were all starving at the moment.
Some of them were sick, and their conditions weren't stable. There was not a good chance for them to heal without food. The longer they waited, the worse it might get.
So, taking a detour was like fighting the clock.
The next day, Xie Dong went back to Lin Qiao to report to her.
"They took the detour last night. I think they'll enter Upper City District this morning. Those commoners aren't in good conditions. They have been starving for a couple of days, and many of them are ill, " Xie Dong said with a hoarse voice, "The group of superpowered ones didn't suffer heavy casualties either. But, I think there's an internal conflict among them. They have nearly split into two groups. By now, they're following behind those commoners, taking the detour as well."
"Did they think that they really had a chance to get through the zombie crowd?" said Lin Qiao blandly and carelessly.
