You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

Time quickly moved into the afternoon.

Zhang Ye hadn't even gotten out of the car when he noticed the gazes from those wooden shacks around him, wary, curious, and mixed with a bit of confusion.

But before he had a chance to look back at them, these people had already hidden themselves again inside their dim huts.

The scene was just like what he had seen in other settlements.

Five Hunters had already gotten out of the car first, spreading out around Zhang Ye's Land Rover to form a frequently used defensive formation, with their weapons loaded and ready for any fight that might break out at any moment.

Some of them had been recruited only recently.

But that did not mean they lacked experience.

After all, these people's lives before becoming Hunters were no different from those survivors who now looked like rats, so they knew very well the dangers lurking in this kind of environment.

People fear death, of course, but for a bit of food to fill their stomachs, they can do anything.

Even if they appear heavily armed and difficult to provoke.

Madmen are common in these parts.

As expected, soon a survivor in tattered clothes and a dirty face tried to approach the pickup truck of the Hunters and was spotted by Gao Feng.

Perhaps because he saw that the person blocking his way was a woman, he didn't show much fear.

With a loud shout, the man actually lunged toward Gao Feng.

His eyes, wild with madness, now held a hint of desire.

Women are always vulnerable.

That's what he thought, but the woman who should have screamed in panic had no reaction, her calm eyes even unnerving him a bit.

But it was too late to stop now; the man, like a savage, had already reached out his hand.

It seemed that in the next second, he would touch the woman's smooth skin.

Just then, Gao Feng suddenly made her move.

She lifted her leg and kicked the man charging at her right in the stomach, and while he doubled over in pain, she grabbed his dirty, long hair and slammed his face downward with great force!

The man's face was instantly pressed against the ground covered in sand and gravel!

At the same time, a "whoosh" sound suddenly came from beside his ear!

A chill ran up the back of his head!

A cold, sharp object had already pierced his skin, and in the next second, it would be his brain!

But just then, a man's voice rang out.

"Enough."

The cold sensation instantly froze.

But it did not move away.

Then a pair of exceptionally clean white sneakers stopped in front of the man, their owner seemingly looking down at him from above.

"Gulp..."

"Spare... spare me..."

"Please, I beg you, spare me..."

Gao Feng's icy gaze showed no mercy; on the contrary, the dagger she pressed against the back of the man's head added a bit more pressure.

Blood was already slowly seeping out from the cut made by the tip of the knife. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

Seeing this, Liang Zhijie couldn't help feeling a chill on his scalp, although he had witnessed this woman's ruthlessness the night before, he hadn't expected her skills to be so extraordinary!

After confirming that there were no problems here, the five Hunters once again began observing and guarding their surroundings.

The strength of Captain Gao was something they had all experienced.

Ordinary people couldn't match her.

Just as the dagger in the woman's hand was about to pierce through the man's brain, Zhang Ye finally gave her a look, stopping the motion of the dagger pressing down.

The man being subdued below had already begun crying uncontrollably.

His voice was pitiful to the extreme, as if he had been violated.

While crying, he kept begging for mercy, making Zhang Ye feel as if he was bullying the weak.

Seeing that it was about time, he finally spoke out:

"Speak."

"Why did you attack us?"

```

It sounded like a pointless statement.

But when linked to today's conflict with the Security Bureau, it wasn't so trivial anymore.

If this person was really sent by the Security Bureau to seek an opportunity for revenge, then they definitely couldn't stay in Wanhao District for long.

After all, their main purpose here was reconnaissance.

If someone was secretly watching them all the time, they would have to be restrained in everything they did and constantly worry about the safety of the scouts they sent out.

It would be better to go back directly.

But the man before them clearly didn't seem like someone sent by the Security Bureau.

Intimidated by Gao Feng, his initial hostility had dissipated completely.

He was whimpering like a woman, unable to utter a word.

Until he felt the tip of the knife press against the back of his head again, and faced with death, he finally stammered in response:

"I, I just saw that your vehicle had....…"

"Food....…"

Food on the vehicle?

Zhang Ye paused for a moment, then quickly turned to look at the pickup truck.

The back of the truck was indeed open, but it was left that way on purpose to facilitate the Hunters getting on and off, not because they hadn't bothered to close it.

Inside, there were indeed some cans and instant noodles, meant to entice the survivors here to the company's base.

"You do have sharp eyes,"

Zhang Ye said with a teasing smile, then gestured for Gao Feng to let him go.

Feeling the cold sensation and pressure on his body disappear, the man quickly got up and knelt in front of Zhang Ye, continuously kowtowing and saying thanks.

Just as he was about to look up to assess the situation and look for an opportunity to leave, something fell in front of him.

A translucent plastic bag containing a pale yellow pastry.

His gaze suddenly fixed on it.

"This, this is....…"

The man's lips quivered as he asked, his eyes on Zhang Ye now containing a hint of inquiry.

Zhang Ye continued to look down at him with a slight smile on his face, saying:

"What?"

"Don't you want it?"

He glanced at Gao Feng beside him, and the woman quickly nodded and pretended to pick up the bag of instant noodles from the ground.

Seeing this, the man immediately lunged forward and clutched the bag of instant noodles to his chest.@@novelbin@@

"I want it!"

"I want it!"

"Thank you, boss! Thank you!"

As he spoke, he had already torn open the bag.

The sound of him crisply crunching on the pastry soon reached everyone's ears.

Seemingly worried that he might choke, Zhang Ye passed him his half-empty water bottle, and the man once again thanked him profusely.

Meanwhile, more and more of those eyes hiding in the shadows and spying on the scene were becoming apparent.

You could even faintly hear someone swallowing their saliva.

Many of the jumble of hovels were built on a mound of earth.

If you looked closely, you'd see that almost half of the mound was covered with garbage, making the low shanties seem as if they were directly built on a heap of trash.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Zhang Ye had already stood up and walked towards one of the shanties, no more than two meters high, with a pair of eyes behind the wooden door.

He pushed gently, and the eyes instantly vanished into the shadows.

A half-grown child looked at him with wide eyes, as if a ground monkey.

In the corner lay a stiffened corpse.

At the same time, a cough that seemed to be forcibly suppressed by its owner could be heard, clearly coming from the child.
