A few survivors from Chaihe Town watched as several ragged individuals emerged from the thicket of devil vines ahead, whispering among themselves, "Could these people be from Birch Forest Town? That's quite something."
"Isn't it? Not long ago, Little Brother Tian wanted to go to Mudanjiang City, but those devil vines pulled him back hard, and he had to lie in bed for a day before he could get out of it."
"Let's assess the situation first. We don't know the strength of the remaining few. If they are all second-level professionals, who knows, maybe they've come as powerful reinforcements."
"What powerful reinforcements? I wish they were as strong as possible. The stronger they are, the better they can help us get rid of those zombies. Otherwise, we really won't have many days left to live."
As soon as this was said, everyone around fell silent.
Thinking of the zombie horde currently occupying Chaihe Town, as well as that terrifying corpse king, they placed their hopes on Wen Yu and the others.
When Wen Yu and the others approached, the leading middle-aged man stepped forward and greeted them first, "Hello, everyone, my name is Li Dalong. You can just call me Dalong."
The middle-aged man had a smile plastered on his face and spoke politely.
"We escaped from Birch Forest Town. You may have noticed that something went wrong there."
Li Quan'an nodded at Li Dalong.
"Yes, we thought Birch Forest Town had become a dead city. We didn't expect there would still be survivors inside. It's truly impressive that you managed to get out."
Li Dalong exclaimed. This didn’t cost anything and could enhance relationships, so why not?
Li Quan'an examined Li Dalong from head to toe, his heart sinking.
This man was heavily damaged in his gear, and his face was pale with several scars.
The situation in Chaihe Town could be seen at a glance just from Li Dalong's appearance.
Li Quan'an still held a glimmer of hope and cautiously asked, "How are the survivors in Chaihe Town doing?"
Li Dalong carefully looked Li Quan'an over, then glanced at the few professionals behind him.
They looked very disheveled, completely lacking the leisure that the previous person had, which indicated that these people were of limited strength.
"Not good, very bad."
Li Dalong shook his head and said to Li Quan'an, then directly looked at Wen Yu: "May I ask how to address you, young brother?"
"Just call me Wen Yu. Where is your gathering place?"
Wen Yu asked directly.
Li Dalong opened his mouth, almost about to flatter him, but managed to hold it back. Wen Yu really had a temper.
He sighed, thinking that a strong person really was straightforward. The difficulty of contacting him was only slightly less than that of Little Brother Tian, who was quite quirky.
"It's not far ahead, in the farmland. I'll take you to meet Brother Da Fei first, and we can talk on the way."
After Li Dalong finished speaking, he immediately led Wen Yu and the others forward. The teammates behind him carried the unconscious professionals on their backs, while Bai Xiao'an was also being carried by Sun Ruixing. Judging by Bai Xiao'an's injuries, his leg should be severely injured, but he was not in life-threatening danger.
Wen Yu quickly moved to catch up. He still had many questions about Chaihe Town.
"Why did you set up your gathering place in the farmland? The defenses in the wilderness are lacking, and there are many mutated beasts."
This was Wen Yu's question. Compared to high-rise buildings, farmland had absolutely no advantages.
Li Dalong forced a smile: "We didn't want to leave Chaihe Town, but we had no choice."
As if trying to organize his thoughts, Li Dalong paused for a moment and said, "We were driven out by the zombies. Now we can't get back into Chaihe Town."
"Zombies?" Wen Yu raised his eyebrows.
In Wen Yu's eyes, zombies equated to moving points. The fact that these weaklings could force the survivors out of Chaihe Town might indicate a situation he had never encountered before.
"What happened?" Wen Yu's voice had already taken on a serious tone.
