In order to save time, Li Nansheng divided his team into three groups A,B and C. The three groups would patrol the forest from three directions on the island at the same time. The person in charge of each group would take a walkie-talkie, so they could immediately report whenever there was a problem.
“The person in charge of Group A is me, the person in charge of Group B is Taozi, and the person in charge of Group C is A Yong. Group A is responsible for patrolling the forest from the north, Group B is responsible for patrolling the forest from the southwest, and Group C is responsible for patrolling the forest from the southeast. The purpose of this mission is to check whether there are zombies hidden in the forest. Therefore, safety first, no matter which group finds traces of zombies, immediately retreat and report, do you understand?” Li Nansheng saw that the members of the team were depressed, so the last words were extremely loud.
The team members just dragged a long tone and reluctantly replied, “We- heard – clearly.”
Li Nansheng had no choice. He knew that his brothers were tired after patrolling all night. Suddenly that they had to perform some urgent tasks during the day, everyone was impatient, so he couldn’t bear to scold them again.
“If you understand, then start to act.”
The forest was on the edge of the island. From a distance, it was lush.
Because the forest was too densely grassed, the light there was not very good during the day, and it was a bit gloomy, making the scalp numb.
“Brother Tao, what does the captain mean by this? We have been patrolling all night, and suddenly we got a task to perform during the day? We are not made of iron. And just now I asked the people of the second team. They didn’t receive any urgent tasks at all, but the first team has to be on duty. Brother Tao, what’s the matter?”
Chen Tao’s pupils shrunk and his head felt dizzy. He was too lazy to pay attention to the complaining team member. He just replied angrily, “Are you questioning the task arranged by the captain?”
“Brother, don’t you ever wonder? You’re the head of Group B. I thought you…” the man was interrupted by Chen Tao impatiently before he said the word “know”.
“Get back to your post. This is very annoying. You’re chirping in my ear like a fly. Are you bored?”
The man looked sullen, but he didn’t dare to say anything back, so he had to walk bitterly to the back of the team.
Group B was walking listlessly in the forest. Suddenly, a man in the team screamed.
Chen Tao was so frightened that he turned back and scolded, “What the hell, you scared me!”
The man’s voice trembled slightly and said, “Brother Tao, Brother Tao, there is blood on the ground.”
Chen Tao was stunned and realized the seriousness of the matter. He quickly approached to check. It was really dry blood.
Suddenly, the entire team was full of energy and looked around nervously.
Suddenly, another person screamed.
Chen Tao’s heart pounded with fear and hurriedly asked, “What’s the matter?”
The man was pale, pointing at something in the grass, and his tongue was knotted, “Tao… Brother Tao, the grass… There is a hand in the grass.”
Chen Tao hurriedly pushed away the people and approached, and looked at the grass. The hand was already swollen and rotting, and a few live maggots were still squirming on the flesh, and seven or eight flies were buzzing around it.
“Brother Tao, look at the wound on this hand. It looks like it was bitten.”
The people in the team commotion, “This… there won’t really be zombies in this forest, right?”
Chen Tao looked around. In the gloomy woods, there was a big alarm in his heart. Before he had time to analyze, he immediately took out the walkie-talkie, “Group A, Group A, there is a situation in Group B, there is a situation in Group B, please answer when you hear it, over.”
“Group C, Group C, Group B has a situation, Group B has a situation, please answer when you hear it, over.”
“Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw quickly!”
Chen Tao issued an emergency retreat order, but it was too late. A brother who was at the end of the team was suddenly caught by a zombie who sprang out. The brother only screamed while he was dragged.
A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Chen Tao’s forehead, and he squeezed his gun tightly, and said to everyone, “Everyone, get together, and move out of the forest.”
Everyone quickly took out the guns around their waists. Got together and quickly retreated out of the forest.
……
Group C and Group B were both located on the south side of the island. The person in charge of Group C heard the call for help from Group B and immediately led the team to the direction of Group B.
After Group C arrived, there was a lot of movement, gunfire and screams in the forest. Zhang Yong, the leader of Group C, did not dare to act rashly, but led the team members to wait for the captain outside the forest.
“Brother Yong, the members of Group B haven’t come out yet, should we go in and help out?” A member of Group C stepped forward and asked tentatively.
Zhang Yong looked back at him, his face looked very bad, “Did you not hear the movement inside? If we rush in over from the southeast direction, we will reach there after twenty minute. Twenty minutes later, the people in Group B might be…” Zhang Yong didn’t go on.
“Brothers, if a zombie rushes out of the forest, shoot it directly,” Zhang Yong said loudly toward the brothers behind him.
The movement in the forest gradually diminished, but there was still no living person coming out of it, and the C team members became more nervous. They didn’t dare to blink their eyes, for fear that a zombie might suddenly pop out of nowhere in the next second. They were all people who had escaped from Yunjing City, and they knew the fear of being surrounded by zombies.
Suddenly, the sound of branches rubbing and hurried footsteps sounded in the forest, as if something was going to rush out of the forest.
