Chapter 110 Ambush
Having witnessed the bizarre nature of the insect-transformed zombies and the resulting casualties, everyone understood how terrifying these insects were.
After tallying the casualties, Scarface, who was standing next to Feng Ye, stepped forward and whispered, "Boss, six are dead and eleven are wounded. Three of them are seriously injured and probably won't make it."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye cursed and said, "We've only just arrived and we've already lost so many men. These bastards are really something else."
After thinking for a moment, Feng Ye said, "Treat the wounds of the three seriously injured people, find a safe place for them to stay, and leave them enough food. As for whether they can survive, that depends on their luck."
"it is good."
Given the current situation, the advance team certainly cannot carry out operations with seriously injured personnel, since their mission is to lure the insects.
Once war breaks out, there's no time to care about the wounded; just surviving is a blessing.
It's unlikely that we'd waste manpower and effort sending them back to the hotel.
The main team will be setting off soon, and if they can't complete the luring mission before the main team, that would be a real disaster.
So if they stay here, they might survive in the end.
After spending two or three minutes getting everyone in order, Feng Ye got back into the passenger seat and ordered, "Let's move on!"
……
Peace Hotel.
Not long after the advance team set off, the main force had also completed its final preparations.
Although the number of people was not much more than that of the advance team, most of the ability users were left in the main team.
After all, this trip is a dangerous undertaking, and even if it fails, all parties must leave themselves enough room to retreat.
This is a matter of life and death, so they can no longer afford to hide their strength as before.
In a guest room on the third floor, Wang Xiao said to Yue Man and Wan Menghuai, who were sitting on the sofa, "Just in case, I have to make a trip myself for this operation. I'll trouble you two to look after the hotel for me. This will also give you a chance to rest."
Yue Man nodded without saying anything more.
The two have been working together for so long and their interests are deeply intertwined, so Wang Xiao doesn't need to waste words on certain things.
Wan Menghuai joked, "Boss Wang, considering how generous your payment was last time, I won't charge you this time. But you still need to keep my affairs in mind."
Ordinary steel wires were no longer sufficient for her needs; only by having the Peace Hotel customize special weapons could she further unleash her full potential.
But now Wang Xiao is about to go to Wansheng Shopping Mall to fight the insects, and Wan Menghuai hopes that Wang Xiao can return safely for the sake of his weapon.
In addition, there was another reason that Wan Menghuai did not mention.
In the apocalypse, finding a safe place to settle down is not an easy task.
Having grown accustomed to the convenience offered by the Peace Hotel, she still found it somewhat difficult to adjust to her previous lifestyle.
Knowing a little about Wan Menghuai's little scheme, Wang Xiao didn't expose her, and nodded, saying, "As long as there are suitable materials, the Peace Hotel will make a suitable weapon for you as soon as possible. I can guarantee that."
Having received the answer he wanted, Wan Menghuai smiled and said, "Then I wish Boss Wang a triumphant return."
Wang Xiao didn't say much, his gaze fixed on the street outside the Peace Hotel.
All equipment and supplies are being loaded onto trucks.
While dealing with insects is important, it is equally essential to be wary of other forces.
There's not much to worry about regarding the twelve factions involved in this operation, since most of them are right under our noses.
If things really escalate, it won't be difficult to resolve.
Besides, they all chose to accept the invitation to this operation, so there's no reason for them to come back and make a fool of themselves after choosing to contribute.
But Wang Xiao had to be wary of those who weren't invited, or even those who declined the Peace Hotel's invitation.
Unfortunately, the biological research platform has not yet been upgraded due to insufficient points.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to allocate extra manpower and energy to ensure the safety of the hotel.
However, with Wei Yan, the security department, and the seven ability users entrusted with the hotel's security, any force that wants to take action while he's away will have to see if their claws are strong enough.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Xue Wu walked in and reminded him, "Boss, it's time."
Wang Xiao pulled out a Chinese cigarette and asked, "Is the Qin Group and the other forces all ready?"
Xue Wu nodded and said, "Everything has been arranged and we're just waiting for you."
Wang Xiao took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
Because they are taking a detour, the main team led by Wang Xiao will arrive in Wansheng much later than the normal arrival time.
……
1 p.m.
The advance team has successfully entered the insect's territory.
The once bustling streets have long since become chaotic and disorderly.
The collapsed buildings, the abandoned vehicles piled up in the middle and on both sides of the road, the bloodstains everywhere, the lingering smell of blood on the streets, and the human remains surrounded by flies—every scene was shocking.
As the commander of the advance team, Feng Ye sat in the passenger seat, constantly paying attention to the surrounding situation.
"Reconnaissance squads, report your situation."
"Squad One found no trace of insects."
"Squad Two found no trace of insects."
"Number four..."
"Number Seven..."
Hearing that none of the seven reconnaissance teams sent out had found any trace of the insects, Feng Ye showed no sign of joy.
I kept encountering creatures parasitized by insects on the road, but after entering the insects' territory, I couldn't see any of these disgusting insects anymore.
No, something's wrong...
Feeling increasingly uneasy, Feng Ye picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Listen up, everyone! We've entered the insects' territory. Anyone who doesn't want to die, be on high alert! Report any abnormalities immediately!"
Since no insects were found, Feng Ye had no choice but to order the advance team to gradually penetrate deeper in order to lure them in.
But just as everyone was wondering where the insects had gone, something strange happened.
A large number of insectoid monsters emerged from the shadows, and the seven reconnaissance squads tasked with scouting ahead were attacked at the same time.
At the same time, screams came one after another from Feng Ye's walkie-talkie.
"what!"
"There's an ambush!"
"Damn it! All the bugs are hiding in the room!"
"Watch out for tall buildings!"
"Help me!"
……
What was once a peaceful scene has instantly turned into a living hell.
Hearing the screams coming through the walkie-talkie, Feng Ye's face turned extremely ugly.
"Damn it! These bastards have actually learned how to ambush!"
He grabbed the walkie-talkie and yelled, "All squads, move towards the convoy immediately! Form a tighter formation! Use the convoy as cover and withdraw from this area. Ranged squads, keep an eye on the tall buildings on both sides!"
As soon as Feng Ye finished speaking, a large number of insect-like monsters poured out from the buildings on both sides of the street.
They no longer charged haphazardly as before, but instead split into several organized groups, flanking the convoy from different directions.
Some crawl on the ground, using all four limbs, at an extremely fast speed.
Some cling to the walls, moving swiftly along them like geckos.
Several larger worm-like zombies smashed through the glass windows and fell from the sky, rushing into the convoy. If capable people hadn't intervened immediately, who knows how many casualties would have occurred.
The insects' attack came swiftly, but those involved were all experienced combat personnel.
Soon, everyone formed a counterattack line based on their respective factions.
Secretary Huang of the Qin Group, startled by the sudden appearance of the insects, immediately ordered, "Fire! Stop them!"
The gunmen of the Qin Group raised their guns and fired, bullets flying rapidly towards the insectoid monsters attacking from all directions.
If a few scattered insects require aiming and shooting, then this overwhelming monster attack only requires pulling the trigger repeatedly!
"Boss! These bugs seem to have evolved again!"
Scarface shouted to Feng Ye as he swung his machete and cut down an insectoid zombie that lunged at him.
Feng Ye's eyes were bloodshot, and he swung his machete fiercely, cleaving a worm-like zombie in half at the waist.
"A bunch of vermin! You think you can copy our ambush tactics? I'll wipe you out!"
Feng Ye roared, his aura surging, making him appear even more ferocious!
As an ability user, Feng Ye's ability is called "Iron Bones," which can greatly enhance his own defense in a short period of time.
He suddenly pushed off the ground with both feet, appearing on top of the vehicle. After cleaving a mutated insect monster in two with a single blow, he looked at the chaotic group and shouted:
"Listen up, everyone!"
"Don't scatter! Stick together and fight as a team!"
"Retreat in an orderly fashion, using the convoy as cover! Don't let the bugs break through the defensive line!"
"Throw all the Molotov cocktails out! Build a wall of fire to stop them!"
