Chapter 388 - 388: Evacuation!



[Daily mission completed. Reward: 50 Technology Points.]

“Retreat!”

Zhao Yu heard the system notification and quickly gave an order to the commander.

Immediately, the scattered soldiers quickly gathered and covered Zhao Yu as he retreated.

Along the way, numerous different species attracted by the noise pursued them. The snipers, not adept at close combat, were responsible for protecting Zhao Yu in distance.

The remaining five assault troops and land infantry in split into two groups to cover each other’s retreat.

They killed countless different species, yet, more and more kept coming relentlessly.

Seeing the endless, tireless, and seemingly indestructible swarm of different species, Zhao Yu wondered if he had been too rash this time.

Fortunately, the retreat plan was already fully developed by the commanding officer.

When they retreated to a midpoint in the fourth ring, an explosion sounded not far from their location.

The strategy successfully diverting the different species that were pursuing them and others drawn by the noise.

However, those that could still see and hear Zhao Yu and his team continued their relentless pursuit, although their numbers had reduced to about three or four hundred, which was significantly better than before.

Meanwhile, all the soldiers stopped firing after the explosion and began to flee in earnest.

According to the plan, they needed to create a buffer, drawing the different species from behind and the sides to the site of the explosion.

Unfortunately, the buffer time was only about a dozen seconds.

Zhao Yu and his team had only run about a hundred meters when their path was blocked, dozens of different species attracted by the noise.

At a time like this, a team of enhancers would have been handy…”

Zhao Yu had brought a large amount of firearms and ammunition, but very few melee weapons; each soldier only had a bayonet.

When facing a small number of different species, their current manpower was sufficient for using melee weapons, but the incoming swarm was too large. “Fire!”

Zhao Yu shouted, all soldiers opened fire, following an order previously given by the commanding officer.

Moments later, the dozens of different species were once again attracted more from further away.

Zhao Yu didn’t dare to stay any longer, hurrying on their way. This time, they didn’t care about the different species behind them, focusing instead on clearing those coming from the front.

Fortunately, the previous explosion had significantly draw a portion of the mutated species, and with full-speed running, the gap only widened.

“Damn it, who the hell is firing guns in the city?!”

At that moment, teams collecting supplies in the fourth ring were all cursing. Almost everyone who heard the noise stopped in their tracks, hiding in buildings, too afraid to make a sound.

“What do we do now?!”

Luo Bing’s team, on the fifth floor of an abandoned hotel, peered down through a gap in the curtains.

They saw dozens, even hundreds of different species passing by on the road below, a situation that made it impossible for anyone to venture outside.

“What else can we do but wait…”

LUO Bing said helplessly, “There are too many, we can only wait for them to calm down…”

The mutants and the mutated beasts in the entire city were scattered, and encountering small groups was manageable for them.

But now, the explosion had attracted a large number of them. Venturing outside would certainly attract even more.

“Captain, who do you think caused that explosion?”

“And those gunshots before…” Han Xiao Xiao, also experiencing this for the first time, dared not peek out again after one look at the large army of different mutants below.

To ease the tension, she said, “Could it have been Zhao Yu and his team…”

“It must be them!” a man said furiously, “Damn it, who else would enter the city with so many weapons?”

“Normally, teams searching in the old city have an understanding; no one fires guns…”

Luo Bing also felt helpless, not expecting their employer to be so unreliable as to fire guns in the city, and so intensively at that.

“What we should be thankful for now is that we have an agreement with Zhao Yu, and with Peace Town as the guarantor. Even if they die, well still get paid…”

Hearing this, everyone relaxed slightly, and the cursing gradually subsided.

After all, they were their employers. Though they had caused trouble, it was just a delay. Things would be fine once the different species calmed down.

‘Let’s go, judging the sound of the gunfire seems to be heading towards the fifth ring…”

“Huh—!”

Han Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask, “Captain, can we move now?”

“No, let’s wait a bit longer, rest for three hours…” Luo Bing shook her head, not wanting to venture out and provoke the mutants or beasts just yet.

“Boom—!”

Another explosion erupted, scattering six or seven tenths of the different mutated species surrounding Zhao Yu and his team.

After several such incidents, the number of pursuing enemy steadily decreased By the time they reached the sixth ring, there were only a little over a hundred left behind them.

This was because the mutants in the sixth ring had been repeatedly cleared out by various teams of enhancers, making them less dense than in the inner city. With the two teams alternating fire, they wiped out these mutants in just two minutes.

All the way to the seventh ring, the path was clear and allowing Zhao Yu and his team to smoothly return to the seventh ring.

At this point, the soldiers following him had only lost one member, a land infantry, who was ordered by the commander to lure away the mutants in the fifth ring and had since been missing.

Given the soldier’s capabilities, he was likely dead if there were no surprises.

Just as Zhao Yu and his team crossed the bridge, a group shouted to them from a distance.

“Hey there, do you know what happened in the city?”

“We just heard some explosions inside the city…”

Under normal circumstances, teams inside the old city didn’t interact much with each other.

With the sudden change in the city, everyone was on high alert, especially those in the seventh ring, mostly novices and weaker teams, all fearing any danger.

Zhao Yu coughed and replied loudly, “Don’t know, it seemed like someone was firing guns. We were forced to flee back here…”

Apparently, they also believed in Zhao Yu’s explanation.

Zhao Yu had no intention of getting closer for a chat and stopped near a small building close to the bridge.

After about half an hour, quite a few teams fled out from the sixth ring.

Almost every team started cursing after crossing the bridge, blaming the team that had fired guns inside the city.

During this time, some people noticed Zhao Yu and his team’s location and exchanged some information.

Naturally, Zhao Yu didn’t admit to being responsible, only saying they were operating near the seventh ring and were unaware of the situation in the city, instead asking them about the city’s condition.

“They probably won’t make it back…”

Zhao Yu took out his binoculars and looked towards the other side of the bridge. After several observations, he didn’t see the soldier who went missing while luring away the mutants.

“Forget it, let’s withdraw!”

Zhao Yu shook his head and knowing he couldn’t afford to waste too much time here for one soldier.

According to the commander’s calculations, if someone didn’t return within half an hour, the probability of death was high, and waiting any longer would be meaningless..
