NOVEL NEXT Chapter 520: Setbacks_2
The leader said, "I know, we'll hide first, then find a shielding spot to take out the drone before anything else."
One by one, the youngsters looked up and saw the drone overhead, their hearts already filled with great resentment towards it.
"Alright, they slowly made their way toward the houses next to the street."
Li Yu, observing from the drone, watched them enter into the room, then said to Li Gang, "Raise the drone higher, it's too close now. They have guns, if we get shot down later, that would be the end of us."
Li Gang, upon hearing this, felt it made sense, and raised the drone to a height of fifty meters.
At that height, plus with the darkness of night, they shouldn't be visible from below.
Immediately after, Li Gang turned off the lights on the drone.
The drone, like a specter, hovered in the night sky.
However, with the lights off, they too could no longer see the scene below the drone.
It seemed the drone needed to be upgraded and remodeled.
Li Yu looked at the somewhat blurry image; after all, there was no light, even though it had some night vision capabilities.
But in this post-apocalyptic world, there were no city lights, and even the moon tonight was covered by clouds.
The darkness of the night was so deep that the drone could hardly see anything below.
....
Li Yu took out his telescope and looked at the entrance of the hospital, breathing a sigh of relief.
Because of the drone and the gunshots just now, they had attracted the zombies over there.
There were only a few zombies left at the entrance.
But now wasn't the time to completely relax, the enemy was still within a kilometer or two.
For Li Yu, there was no reason to suffer in silence. Since they dared to mess with him, they had to be prepared to face his fury.
But at this time, the drone couldn't approach them too closely, and their group couldn't venture outside, as it was all zombies outside, and leaving would be a death sentence.
It was crucial to eliminate the enemy, but even more important was the lives of his companions; he was unwilling to gamble with the lives of his partners.
Li Yu thought for a while, and then said, "Let's just leave it at that for today. Everyone, follow the duty roster and take turns resting.
Gangzi, bring the drone back later, don't keep it out there to get damaged.
We'll check out that side tomorrow."
The crowd pondered for a moment; night had fallen, and indeed there was no better option than to wait for the next day.
So they all retreated to rest.
Just as they were preparing to rest, suddenly, they heard several gunshots.
Bang Bang Bang!
Echoing through the sky.
The people who were just about to go downstairs stopped in their tracks and looked through their telescopes in that direction.
But they were obstructed by the building and couldn't see anything.
Only to see, the zombies around the streets were multiplying.
More and more.
Then, a few more gunshots rang out.
Li Yu said to Li Gang, "Send the drone down to take a look."
Li Gang immediately controlled the drone to fly downward.
To the building that they were just at.
The group peered at the drone's screen from all around.
The drone lingered around that building for a while, only to see the zombies below had broken through the glass and the door of the same building where those people were just now.
Swarming into the house.
Truly like a tide, the sight made everyone's scalp tingle with numbness.
Suddenly, there was another burst of gunfire.
The drone reached the sixth floor.
Through the windows of the sixth floor, Li Yu and the others saw.
There were about a dozen zombies chasing a person, who, with a handgun in hand, was continually firing at the zombies behind him.
The coat and mask that this person was originally wearing were gone.
Without this layer of protection and disguise, the surrounding zombies spotted him and began to encircle him.
Bang Bang Bang Bang!
In terror, he emptied all his bullets from the handgun, then yelled loudly, "Big brother, save me!"
In a room on the fourth floor, hidden within the Zombie Tide, the squad leader helplessly closed his eyes.
Just too damn frustrating.
The subordinate who had rushed in was in such a hurry that his coat got caught on the doorknob.
With his head covered, he couldn't see clearly; he took off the headgear and was about to undo his coat.
The zombies behind noticed him, and in his agitation, he took off the coat.
With the coat gone, he excited the zombies.
Smelling the scent of a human, they all chased after him.
That's what led to the scene just now.
"Ah!" This foolish person who had taken off his coat, after firing all his bullets, was ultimately bitten by a zombie.
He looked at the many zombies behind him and kneeled down, begging, "May the true God descend and turn me into a messenger of the apocalypse."
The horde of zombies slowly surrounded him and devoured him.
....
On the rooftop of the hospital residential building.
Everyone watched the scene on the drone screen where that person was devoured.
Especially seeing how he kneeled down.
It was indescribably eerie and strange.
"It seems we've encountered another bunch of lunatics!" Yang Tianlong said, speechless.
Old Luo and Old Bi were somewhat confused by the "another."
But to Old Lü, Dapao and the others, it clicked instantly, especially Dapao. Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, they had seen all kinds of demons and fiends.
At first, there were the likes of God's Church, then the White Lotus Sect, and a bunch of other messy ones.
