Chapter 741 - Snipe

On the other side, Wang Jian quickly discovered the zombie crowd’s movement.

“Over there!” He immediately led his squad toward the front end of the zombie crowd.

He and his men didn’t dare to get too close, so they observed those zombies from distance through telescopes. Soon, they found out that the zombie crowd was divided into two groups, meaning that two captives were released at one time.

After figuring out the situation, Wang Jian found a van before the zombie crowd. The three vehicles were drawing the zombies toward the opposite direction while the other vehicles weren’t visible. It seemed that the three vehicles were carrying the mission alone, and the rest of the team was hiding somewhere, waiting for all the zombies to be lured away.

It would certainly take a long while for them to lure away all the zombies on the scene. No one could say for sure how many zombies were in that area exactly.

At last, Wang Jian and some of his men followed behind the van and also sent out two other squads after the two vehicles which had captives dragged behind.

“Boss, why did they make us deal with the baits? Li Honglin is clearly trying to send us away so he himself can get through this area sooner. He’s gonna leave us behind, isn’t he?” At that moment, a man in the van said to Chen Hao with discontentment.

Chen Hao was wearing a sullen face as well.

He and Li Honglin were at the same level, and so were their forces. Reasonably speaking, he didn’t need to lead that kind of mission personally. His subordinates could simply do it for him.

However, Li Honglin insisted that the others might not be able to do the job well, and that he had to lead the mission himself.

Why?

Chen Hao and his men rejected on the spot. They started an intense argument that nearly developed into a violent conflict. At that point, Lu Tong stood out and took Li Honglin’s side. For that reason, Chen Hao had to obey.

Lu Tong, as a space possessor, was in charge of all their food.

Chen Hao didn’t need to do it for Lu Tong, but he had to do it for the sake of the food stored in Lu Tong’s space. He could choose to give up on the food actually, but Lu Tong had some other things on him that gave him no choice but to follow his words.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“If this mission succeeds, we’ll make them pay when we get to the new base,” said Chen Hao with a cold face.

“Boss, why do we have to do what Li Honglin says? Why don’t we just quit? Now, we’re distracting the zombies to let them go first. This isn’t good for us at all. We’ll need to take a long detour to the new base,” one of Chen Hao’s subordinates asked.

After saying that, he glanced at the group of commoners who were in the backseat with their hands tied up. He felt that he and his friends were doing something hard but not good for themselves.

“I know. But, if we don’t do what they say, we’ll be in trouble,” Chen Hao said. His face looked especially sulky under the dim light in the car.

“What trouble?” The subordinate looked at him confusedly.

Chen Hao glanced at him but stayed silent.

He, of course, wouldn’t tell his men that if he didn’t follow Lu Tong’s orders, the latter might tell other people about what he had done before. After all, the new base was still under Lin Family’s leadership.

If Lu Tong exposed that thing, the All Beings Base would have no space for him.

Chen Hao wanted very much to kill Lu Tong, but the latter had been highly vigilant against him. He was looking for a chance to kill Lu Tong all the way, but the chance never occurred. Lu Tong was always under Li Honglin’s protection.

“You don’t need to know,” Chen Hao responded to his subordinates.

At that time, he had no idea that Wang Jian already had his eyes on the van and had pointed his sniper rifle at a tire.

Apart from himself, the people by his side each had a sniper rifle as well, pointing at a tire.

Meanwhile, another group of commoners had secretly blocked the way before the van from hundreds of meters away.

“Fire!” Wang Jian gave the order once the van went into the shooting range.

Puff! Puff! Puff! A series of bullets were shot out through silencers.

Bang! Squeak… The van stopped moving abruptly and shook intensely.

“What happened?” Chen Hao was nearly thrown off his seat. He held the window frame tight and yelled to ask the question.

“Boss, the tires burst!” The driver didn’t know what exactly had happened either as he turned and answered his question.

“What!” Chen Hao knitted his brows, then gave the order, “Keep moving! We can’t stop here. Move to the side to avoid those zombies!”

“Yes,” The driver didn’t say anything else, but responded quickly and kept driving forward.

Driving a van with flat tires didn’t feel so good.

Right at that moment, another ‘puff’ was heard. Along with that, a bullet broke into the car window and sank into the driver’s chest.

“Eh…” The driver gave a muffled moan, then fell to the side, his hands dropping from the steering wheel. As a result, the van lost control and immediately veered off.

Chen Hao noticed that in time and instantly reached out to grasp the steering well.

“Long! Come here and drive!” He looked straight at the road and shouted while controlling the steering wheel.

“Yeah!” One of his subordinates quickly came over and dragged the driver’s body out of the driver’s seat, then sat in himself.

Chen Hao opened the car door and pushed the dead body out, then shut the door.

“Be careful! They have sniper rifles!” Chen Hao gave a shout to his men once the door was closed and looked around vigilantly in the meantime.

It was all dark outside the window. The enemies weren’t nearby, so Chen Hao wasn’t able to sense them.

On top of the building, Xie Dong glanced at Wang Jian and his people, then at Chen Hao’s van. He was surprised.

Wang Jian and his people were at least a thousand meters away from where Chen Hao was. Clearly, Wang Jian and his people were all very good at shooting. Otherwise, they couldn’t possibly shoot the tires through such a long distance, that too in the darkness.

At that point, a series of gunshots were heard from around the van, then came a loud boom and a fire.

The people who had ambushed not far away from the van jumped into action when the driver was shot dead, throwing out grenades. As commoners, all they could rely on were weapons.

Thankfully, the enemies weren’t at high levels. Otherwise, bullets and grenades would hardly hurt them.

Right after Chen Hao warned his people about the snipers, a grenade went off right beside the van. The van was turned over, rolling to the side while smoking.

Chen Hao and his men were too shocked to react immediately. As they finally came back to their senses, they hurriedly crawled out of the van through the broken windows.

Chen Hao had a sense of danger the moment he stuck his head out of the window, so he shrank back into the van as quickly as he could.

Puff! A bullet flew over his head and hit another window of the van.
