Chapter 587 - 9.57 Too Smooth
It seemed like even the Goddess of Luck was siding with him today, Yang Tengfei thought as he ran past the crowd of immobile zombies with nine soldiers following behind him.
Because the abandoned airport was located in the suburb, as soon as it rained hard, the sharp scent of petrichor spiked, shielding the smell of humans from the zombies’ nose. The same could be said with their footsteps. The ferocious downpour was akin to the perfect thick curtain for today’s important operation, covering any tracks that they might make. Everything went smoothly until the team arrived at the entrance of the building.
Yang Tengfei’s tense nerves finally relaxed and he let out a quiet sigh.
He tapped on his earpiece and asked, "Scout, how is it going?"
"Reporting to the Commander, Professor Zhao is still on the third floor, doing something. Due to the low visibility, I am unable to discern what he is working on. The Zombie King is still nowhere to be seen. Over."
"Received," Yang Tengfei replied. "All teams, proceed according to plan."
"Yes, Sir!!"
As seconds ticked by, Yang Tengfei stuck his back to the damp and cold wall and gazed coldly at the rows of zombies standing on the runway. Heh, an army of undead... Even if they were powerful, they were still foolish creatures who only acted on instinct. Under difficult terrain, their so-called terrifying prowess would be reduced into nothing, just like now. In this battle, Yang Tengfei only needed to focus on the Zombie King. Although there was still no scientific explanation on the King’s relationship with the other zombies, he had a strong hunch that once the Zombie King was killed, then every zombie in this world would perish as well.
Just then, fierce lightning struck, illuminating the dark area around. Yang Tengfei heard the soldier beside him suck in a harsh breath. His heart skipped a beat. "What’s wrong?" he asked in a low voice.
"N–Nothing, Commander," the soldier said in a shaky voice. "It’s just... this is the first time I have seen so many zombies."
Ah... Yang Tengfei nodded in understanding. Even though they had fifty capable soldiers with ’brawn’ and ’brain’, the sight of nearly a thousand zombies would still send chills down their spine. Yang Tengfei reached out to pat the man’s shoulders. "Hang on a little more. We will obliterate them soon."
