Thank You for the Re-donation, Zhuang Zhuang!
It wasn't until many years later that Ye Zhongming personally encountered a monster baby and truly understood the horror of this little creature.
For anyone, it was a nightmare.
Yet the people of today remained completely oblivious to this.
Ye Zhongming knew that many people would die today, but he had no intention of stopping it.
Humanity still needed to understand the proportional relationship between risk and reward, which remained true even in the apocalypse, and this truth was drenched in blood.
If they did not understand this, or more precisely, could not grasp it deeply, then no one would live long.
Ye Zhongming had no obligation to remind his fellow humans, as he himself was facing significant dangers, perhaps even greater ones.
Moreover, even if he tried to warn them, no one would listen, and it might even bring unnecessary trouble.
"Hold onto the walkie-talkie. After we start moving, Liang Chuyin, you need to hide over there. If you spot a creature about a meter tall with a golden bag on its back, inform me immediately."
"Teacher Park, you will observe from here, report the situation on the battlefield to me at any time, and pay special attention to the movements of that little monster."
"I will ambush near the bank building. If Teacher Park can confirm the little monster's movements, report it anytime. Liang Chuyin and I will meet at the direction you indicate."
The two women listened carefully to Ye Zhongming's instructions, committing them to memory.
"Later, there might be many bizarre creatures appearing here, along with countless zombies, so don’t be afraid. Relative to you, Teacher Park will be a bit safer, but it’s not absolute. So if you encounter danger that you cannot handle, retreat first. If there’s a chance, find a high point to report the situation and the location of the little monster. If not, go to this location."
Ye Zhongming pointed to a building behind them: "Wait for Liang Chuyin and me there."
Then he turned to Liang Chuyin: "If you discover the target, make sure to notify me. That little thing may not have much power, but it’s extremely slippery and can summon many mutated creatures, so don’t act alone."
"Lastly, regardless of the outcome, after I signal, meet here with Teacher Park."
"Did you all remember?"
Liang Chuyin nodded to indicate she had remembered. Ye Zhongming felt quite reassured about this internet celebrity; she was decisive in her actions, always able to identify the essence of a problem, and obedient.
"This time will be very dangerous. You both need to be mentally prepared. If you want to back out, now is still a good time."
The two girls shook their heads, their expressions serious, showing no intention to retreat.
Suddenly, without any warning, a tremendous light erupted at the shore of Pearl Lake, overshadowing the sunlight and forcing the three of them to squint.
Immediately after, the roar of a tracked vehicle echoed from the end of the street. Along with this rumble, a distant horn began to resonate nearby, its sound traveling far into the air, audible to most of the district.
The Treasure Gathering Disk had been activated, and the monster baby had officially appeared!
"Go!"
After Ye Zhongming uttered this word, he rushed out ahead.
……………………………………………………………………………
This city had three districts, and the Ping'an District where Pearl Lake was located was not the largest in area. It had a university town, a plaza, and parks, making it the most scenic area of the city.
At the start of the apocalypse, this place had relatively the least disturbance from zombies.
However, the number of mutated creatures here was the highest among the three districts. After that distant horn sounded, many survivors in high-rise buildings witnessed a shocking scene.
All sorts of bizarre creatures crawled out from unexpected places and corners, rushing wildly towards Pearl Lake, creating black lines on the ground.
The most terrifying were the hordes of zombies.
