After figuring out that it was Li Honglin who had captured those guards, Wang Jian quickly summoned everyone back to the screening room.
“Why did those scums capture out people?” Some of the others shouted with anger.
Wang Jian frowned and thought for a moment, then said, “They left a couple of hours before us but stopped here. Clearly, they don’t want to take a detour. Are they trying to get through this gathering spot of zombies?”
He paused briefly to think, then wore a sullen look. “They are at level-three at tops. They can’t possibly get through the zombie crowd. I think they captured our people because they want to use them as baits!”
Hearing his words, the others became even angrier.
“What! How can those animals do that!”
“They’re monsters! The human population has been decreasing all the time, yet they plan to use living human beings as baits! What’s the difference between them and those b*stards from Earth Dragon Base? They such scums!”
“You’re right! The new base shouldn’t accept them. They won’t do good in there!”
The people were agitated. They cursed wrathfully, and some couldn’t even believe what they had heard.
Li Honglin and his people took their food, and now planned to use living human beings as baits to distract zombies. That was so brutal! Those people were so heartless!
“What should we do now? Are we going to save them? But, we’re only commoners. Guns aren’t enough to defeat those superpowered people, are they?” Asked a man beside Wang Jian with concern.
“Of course, we’ll save them! But, we are no match for them indeed. We need a plan,” Wang Jian knitted his brows and dropped his eyes.
Was there a way for them to approach those superpowered ones without being noticed?
Superpowered people were able to sense the vibes of theirs from distance. Commoners didn’t have that ability. Even the people who had accepted special training could only sense living beings in a range of ten meters around them. Unlike them, superpowered people were all good at long-range attacks. They were able to launch attacks to their targets from much longer farther away.
Therefore, to search for the traces of superpowered people, the commoners needed to use reconnaissance means.
“I’ll lead a squad out to look for clues. You guys stay here and lock the door. If they only want to capture some baits, they won’t come here to start a war against all of us. Besides, If I’m right, they’ve already left,” Wang Jian didn’t worry that Li Honglin and his people might come back.
They had captured over ten people. Those should be enough for their plan.
Wang Jian’s only choice was to make a move to try and save those captives when they were released as baits. By then, the movement of the zombie crowd would help them to locate their friends.
Wang Jian and his people left the building quietly and followed some traces that were found earlier toward where Li Honglin and his men were.
On the other side, Li Honglin learned that Wang Jian had already discovered what he had done. So, he and his people quickly left with those captives and moved toward the zombie crowd through an alley.
The group of captives was in a van with their hands tied up, under control.
The superpowered ones found an undamaged, luxurious sleeping bus. Currently, their motorcade contained a few sports utility vehicles, armed off-road cars, the luxurious sleeping bus, and a van.
Li Honglin and his people were going closer and closer to the zombie crowd. They sealed all the windows, then threw a captive off the van. The captive’s hands were tied together, and the other end of the rope was tied on an off-road car.
“Roar…” The zombie crowd was immediately stirred by the human sent, and all the zombies turned to the captive. Then, they madly rushed at the captive that was thrown off the van.
The commoner who had his hands tied up looked with fear at those zombies that were coming at him with weird gestures. His face had turned ghastly pale. He twisted his wrists as hard as he could with fright and tried to free himself from the rope but failed. He could only watch the giant zombie crowd come closer and closer to him.
“No… Help! Help me! I don’t want to die!” He looked at those zombies with fear and screamed in panic.
At that point, the off-road car that he was tied on started moving, dragging the captive to another direction at a low speed.
He unwittingly screamed for help, but then realized that it was completely in vain. On the contrary, the off-road car moved faster and made him run.
With that, the zombie crowd instantly started running behind that captive.
On the other side, another commoner was thrown off the van, being dragged in another direction by an SUV. Soon, the zombie crowd was divided into two parts, each part chasing a captive.
“Roar…”
The zombies bared their teeth and reached out their claws as they moved forward, seeming to be starving.
The two captives ran as quickly as they could at first, but before long, they were exhausted and started shambling, almost losing balance.
Thankfully, the zombie crowd wasn’t moving fast enough to catch up with the two commoners anytime soon.
It was dark. Under the coldness, starvation, and extreme fear, the two captives even started to lose their minds. Being dragged behind the vehicles, they soon had their sensations turning numb, and they began swaying.
Li Honglin and his people stayed in the luxurious sleeping bus, watching the zombie crowd split into two parts and move in two different directions. A path soon appeared in the direction that they intended to go.
They were in no rush to go, because the zombies in front of them were still moving away.
In the van, Chen Hao and his people were controlling the group of captured commoners. The van was driving side by side with the two baits. When the two captives couldn’t stand it anymore, they would switch them.
Before long, the two groups of zombies were both led to West Lake, where Lin Qiao and her zombies were present.
Xie Dong and his five-zombie squad were standing on a tall building nearby, watching the zombie crowd be drawn away in two groups. He looked at the luxurious sleeping bus with cold eyes. If Lin Qiao didn’t tell him not to interfere for now, he would certainly rush down and rip off the heads of those superpowered people who believed that they were higher than the others.
They thought their superpowers made them a level higher than the others. They saw commoners as cats and dogs, and didn’t care about those people’s lives. In their eyes, the commoners were no longer at the same level as they were, as if they had the right to live but the commoners did not.
That was why they used commoners as baits to distract zombies with no pressure at all.
