But as Ghostfire Eldest Brother said, there was someone he cared about in the Military District Hospital.
When he was a soldier, the chief he followed lived in that hospital area.
One of the reasons he chose to retire in this island city was to continue staying close to the old man.
Although three weeks had passed since the outbreak of Zombie Beasts, he never believed that there were only 15 survivors.
It was just that communication was cut off, and they could not find each other.
The appearance of Ree Shil and the others was undoubtedly the best proof.
Moreover, the defense and guard power of the Military District Hospital was not weak; their chances of surviving were quite high.
Originally, with his own skills, he was not confident about passing through the Zombie Beast gathering area and reaching the Military District Hospital.
But it was precisely because of the appearance of Ree Shil and the others that he was given hope.
He really wanted to go and see for himself if the old man was safe.
It wasn't until Mr. Liu finished narrating that a panel text finally popped up in front of them.
[Do you accept the hidden mission: Assist Mr. Liu in Finding an Old Friend - 0/1]
"Alright, I'll help with this."
Ree Shil clicked to confirm.
"How can I not be involved in this kind of thing?"
"I'll go too, Grass~"
Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man also clicked to confirm.
"Good, good, good! I'll thank you three in advance!"
Mr. Liu was overjoyed.
"We'd better set off today."
Ree Shil did not forget that they only had 10 days.
Who knows if this hidden mission has any other follow-up tasks.
"Alright, let's have lunch and set off immediately!"
Mr. Liu did not expect the other party to be so proactive.
"But to go to the West City District, we need to make some preparations."
"You follow me."
After that, he left Ghostfire Eldest Brother on duty and led the three people off the penthouse.
Ree Shil and the others followed him to the first floor, and when Mr. Liu pushed open a hidden door, they suddenly discovered an underground room.
Mossy Mushroom: "My goodness, this is the gun you mentioned?"
Ree Shil: "So it's a real gun, sorry for misunderstanding you."
Mr. Liu: "?"
This basement was filled with various weapons.
From light handguns to heavy rocket launchers.
"I'm just a collector."
"But we can't rely on these big things because there's no ammunition."
Mr. Liu picked up the rocket launcher and put it back.
"Only these small ones have a few bullets left."
"Do you guys know how to use guns? Do you need them?"
As he said that, he threw a pistol to Ree Shil.
Bang!
As a result, just as Ree Shil caught it, the muzzle spat out a tongue of fire.
The bullet's trail grazed Mr. Liu's scalp, leaving a smoking bullet hole in the wall.
"!!!!"
His battlefield experience told him that he had just had a close call with death.
"What were you doing! Cute Mushroom!"
Mossy Mushroom glared at Ree Shil angrily.
If their host got hit, they wouldn't be able to carry out their mission.
"How would I know? As soon as I touched it, it fired on its own."
Ree Shil spread his hands out.
"Hehehe... It's okay, just put the gun down first."
Mr. Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He had always maintained and played with the gun, and it had never misfired before.
But he didn't see the other person's trigger finger move just now.
So after a series of questions, it turned out that none of the three had planned to use a gun.
Mossy Mushroom already had a Mushroom Gun.
Straw Man trusted his fists more.
Ree Shil, on the other hand, accidentally missed another gun and was banned from carrying one by the others.
"If that's the case, I'll bring a few more, and you can ask me for one when you want."
Mr. Liu said while organizing the guns.
Following his instructions, the four of them carried some firearms onto the fire truck.
After lunch, they prepared to set off.
"I'm familiar with that area; let me drive."
Mr. Liu volunteered to drive.
Ree Shil shook his head and refused, "Nobody touches my precious steering wheel."
"Alright, then I'll sit in the co-pilot seat and guide you."
Mr. Liu didn't mind.
With the current situation in the city and a driver from other places, he thought it was necessary for him to navigate.
"Uncle, you're such a nice person."
"Thank you, Grass~"
Their decision was strongly welcomed by Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man.
Mr. Liu had heard Little Apricot and the Ghostfire Brothers mention it before, so he knew what they meant.
"Don't worry, I used to be a soldier, and I've experienced all kinds of situations."
"It's just a piece of cake."
But he still chuckled and sat in the co-pilot's seat.
2 hours later, somewhere in the West City District.
Bang!!!
A fire truck pushed a security post and slammed it into a wall.
"Ugh!!!"
A figure quickly jumped off the truck and started vomiting on the ground.
"Are you alright, uncle?"
Ree Shil walked over and gently patted the man's back.
"Your piece of cake is probably a saucer from a UFO."
"Hahaha, damn."
Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man helped each other off the truck, laughing mockingly.
It took Mr. Liu a while to recover from vomiting.
"Is your superpower being undying?"
He looked at Ree Shil with suspicion.
He had never really experienced a situation like this before.
A mere fire truck was being driven like a tank.
Looking at the force on the steering wheel, it seemed like they were rushing to a heroic death.
In his mind, only an undying person would dare to drive like that.
"What should we do next?"
Ree Shil looked into the distance.
As expected, the streets between the buildings were densely filled with Zombie Beasts.
It was much higher than any other encounter they had before.
The key point was that they seemed restless, pacing back and forth with quick steps.
It seemed that their rampage period was approaching.
After Mr. Liu's introduction, they now understood the characteristics of these Zombie Beasts.
Specifically, there are 4 main points.
1. Zombie Beasts only bite human faces, but being bitten at any part can cause infection.
2. Zombie Beasts mainly rely on their vision and sense of smell to find their target; their hearing is almost non-existent.
3. Zombie Beasts' vision and sense of smell are poor, with an effective range of no more than 5 meters.
4. But during their rampage period, the vision and sense of smell of Zombie Beasts increase significantly to over 100 meters.
"We can't delay any longer, let's go upstairs."
Mr. Liu looked up at the towering building in front of them which served as a temporary shelter.
It was a well-known hotel in the city with relatively open positioning for reconnaissance.
The most important thing was that it was next to the city's only river.
This section of the river was wide, and the currents were gentle.
Should anything go awry, they could jump into the river to escape.
"Alright, let's go."
Ree Shil took the lead, carrying his exclusive iron stick and entering the hotel.
However, shortly after entering, a Zombie Beast in a front desk uniform lunged at them.
[Roar!]
Smack!
Ree Shil dodged to the side and smashed its head with one hit.
Walking through the middle of the grand hall would be too conspicuous, so they decided to follow the walls.
The grand hall was spacious, with three to five Zombie Beasts wandering around, their movements becoming more and more exaggerated, and their footsteps increasingly panicked.
"The rampage period might really be coming."
Mr. Liu watched with anxiety and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
[Eh? Live humans?]
Then, at that moment, a broadcast sounded in the grand hall.
The four people crouching down all looked stunned.
"I knew it, there must be more survivors!"
Mr. Liu's face immediately lit up with joy.
"Where are you?"
Mossy Mushroom tried to talk loudly with the person on the other side, but it was obvious they couldn't hear.
[Hey, hey, can you hear me talking?]
[If you can hear me, please wave your hand.]
Upon hearing the voice, Mr. Liu raised his hand.
[Great, please come over here quickly!]
[These guys are about to go on a rampage, and it's going to be dangerous!]
The voice on the broadcast became excited and anxious.
[Don't go through the staircase, there are too many Zombie Beasts there]
[Look to your left, behind the screen there is a safe staff elevator]
[Take the elevator directly to Floor Three, then go right to the end where there is a fire door]
[Hurry up!]
