Chapter 309

That evening.

The night gradually enveloped the entire sky, and the calls of various insects and animals began to echo among the trees, and occasionally the unique roars of zombies could be heard.

On a forest path not far from the legion base, Lu Jiayi and his group were sitting in a dimly lit bus. There was only one dim light on in the entire vehicle, and all the armor outside was lowered.

A group of people sat silently around. The atmosphere in the car was a little silent, and only the heavy breathing of a few people could be heard.

Since the weather got hot, the task of going out has become extremely difficult. Not only can we not get enough sleep, but we also have to endure the hot and humid weather at night. The only consolation is that we can take a simple shower on the bus. However, due to the number of people, it is impossible to use a large amount of water. Each person can only get some water to wipe themselves.

At this moment, the door of the bathroom was opened, and the only woman, Emily, came out. She changed into a loose men's suit. The loose and soft clothes added a touch of sexy temptation to the girl, but everyone was so hot that they were sticking out their tongues and had no mood to pay attention to these.

Lu Jiayi glanced out the window, stood up and said.

"T, you and Rick are on the first shift."

“…”

"Lu, I think I should go with you later."

"No, we've seen it, haven't we? They've occupied the only building in the village. It's too easy to be exposed if we go there during the day. I'm the only one here who has experience in carrying out missions at night, so let's stop arguing."

"Then you must be careful."

…

Before I knew it, it was midnight, 1:30 in the morning.

Lu Jiayi packed up his equipment. His target this time was the legion base. He had to find out whether the other party had imprisoned Daryl, and if possible, rescue him.

Because of him, almost everyone in the car stayed awake and watched him get off the car in silence. It was not until Lu Jiayi disappeared into the night that Glenn spoke with some self-pity.

"We have to strengthen our training in the future. We can't rely on just one person for this kind of thing. If something happens to him, we are all responsible."

…

Lu Jiayi was moving quickly across the grass. The wilderness at night was inhabited by zombies and animals. He could see roughly a few meters around him with the help of the moonlight. However, he was well prepared. He put on a helmet and quickly activated the night vision goggles.

Everything in the field of vision turned into a dark green, and the originally dark surroundings became bright.

All of a sudden, a familiar feeling surged into his body, a familiar feeling from the missions he had performed in the past merged with him at this moment, and his steps became stronger and more powerful. The even and rhythmic breathing matched with his steps seemed to bring him into a state of harmony, making every cell in his body seem to come alive.

It didn't take long to reach the outskirts of the village wall. Perhaps due to insufficient manpower or time, the other party did not surround the entire village but only chose the area with the most concentrated buildings in the center of the village as their settlement. This actually made it convenient for Lu Jiayi. The outskirts were no longer an empty wilderness, but had sparse buildings and trees at a distance from the wall.

He nimbly climbed up a tree, the top of the tree was just a little higher than the city wall, allowing him to see part of the yard clearly. The enclosed area was approximately 6,000 to 7,000 square meters, with no less than a dozen houses and shops. In the center was the four-story building he had seen before, which should be an office building in the village. He had no idea why an office building was built in such a small village.

The reason why these details can be seen clearly is that there are several bonfires in the yard at this time. The whole town is illuminated by the bonfires in an orange-red color. There are two people holding guns and standing guard beside each bonfire, and there are even a few people on the city wall next to it.

Seeing this, Lu Jiayi couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect the other party to be so alert. There were at least twenty people in the night watch team, which made it extremely difficult for him to sneak in unnoticed.

Should we just go back like this? But what if Daryl is in there? Let's wait a little longer.

Several thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but he was unwilling to give up and quickly climbed down the tree. He dealt with a few zombies that had just been attracted by him and quickly went into a residential building, which was a two-story villa. He could continue to monitor from the second floor.

The villa was very clean, and she could see two traces of dragging. The completely black traces told her that the other party must have cleaned up the entire village.

Lu Jiayi quietly came to the second floor of the villa, found a chair and sat down comfortably, silently waiting for an opportunity.

…

Daryl was brought here in the afternoon, and then he was summoned by the leader here.

Following Hiro into the small building, Daryl heard the noisy sounds coming from the rooms on both sides as soon as he entered the first hall. Daryl secretly estimated that judging from the loudness of the noise, there should be no less than a hundred people on this floor. Walking up the stairs all the way to the top of the building, he could hear similar noisy sounds on every floor. The moment he stepped onto the fourth floor, the noises around him died down.

Shiro walked deeper into the corridor without stopping. Daryl saw two big men with guns standing outside the door of a room at the end of the corridor. That should be the leader's room.

When he reached the center of the corridor, an open door caught his attention. He tilted his head slightly and looked over. He saw a man with a sinister look sitting quietly on the sofa in the room, with a cigarette hanging from his mouth. Wisps of smoke passed over his face. Finally, he turned his eyes slightly and greeted Daryl outside the door.

The sinister eyes moved slightly, and after taking a look at Daryl, he turned his head away expressionlessly. At this time, Daryl had already walked through the door. The momentary contact and the fleeting glance made his heart tighten and his brows slightly frowned.

Finally, Hiro walked to the door at the end of the corridor, nodded slightly and greeted the two guards, who glanced at Daryl, didn't say much, and slowly pushed open the door behind them.

…

Lu Jiayi just sat there quietly, staring at the yard not far away without blinking. Time slowly came to around three o'clock. A group of more than twenty people yawned and walked out of the small building. They quickly divided into several groups and walked to their respective positions.

A few people from the previous class simply greeted them and hurried into the small building. Seeing this, Lu Jiayi frowned again. He had no chance at all. He had too little information at hand and couldn't just rush in. If he didn't find Daryl by then, he would be in trouble.

At this moment, a figure walked out of the small building again. Lu Jiayi looked at it intently, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

That person turned out to be his target this time, Daryl!
