Chapter 490: Chapter 214: To Save or Not to Save_2
After catching his breath, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue took a wide detour heading towards the entrance of the sports center. The vehicles of the fourth squadron were all parked there.
It was already evening by the time Wang Tao arrived at the entrance of the sports center, and he immediately furrowed his brow.
The vehicles were still there, but not a single person was in sight.
Upon closer inspection, well, well, the tires had all been slashed? The gas tanks were leaking too!
“Sabotage?”
Seeing the neat incisions on the tires, Wang Tao’s brow furrowed instantly.
At that moment, the walkie-talkie on Wang Tao’s body rang.
“Crackle… Brother Wang, look behind you!”
Wang Tao turned his head and saw on a building not far away, over a dozen stories tall, someone was waving a red flag. That person was Nie Siyan.
Wang Tao didn’t bother with the vehicles and ran immediately towards the building.
The entrance to the building had long been shattered, but the door to the stairway inside was tightly shut. As Wang Tao approached, Nie Siyan immediately opened the door from inside.
“Brother Wang, are you alright?”
Nie Siyan said, her face full of concern.
“I’m fine.”
Wang Tao clasped Jiang Shixue’s hand and while walking upstairs, he asked Nie Siyan:
“What happened?”
“When we got here, we found all the vehicle tires slashed, and we couldn’t leave. There were also quite a few zombies around; we killed our way through them to get here. Lan Yulian then suggested we go up…”
Nie Siyan hastily explained.
“Who did it?”
Wang Tao was somewhat puzzled.
“Lan Yulian said it was the people from the prison and the Alliance!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Tao’s brow furrowed.
The three of them went upstairs, where Lan Yulian was treating someone’s injuries. Lu Yingfeng and Xu Xiaojun were on guard duty. When they saw Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue arrive, everyone hurried over.
“Wang Tao, Little Xue, you’re not hurt, are you?”
Lu Yingfeng immediately hugged Jiang Shixue, checking to see if she was missing an arm or leg. Lan Yulian then cast several green glows onto Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue’s heads.
The feeling of being healed was warm and comfy.
Seeing that Lan Yulian was about to continue, Wang Tao quickly waved his hand.
“I’m fine. Don’t waste your effort!”
Although the warm feeling was very comfortable, that green light made Wang Tao somewhat uncomfortable.
Lan Yulian immediately stopped.
She looked at Wang Tao with a face full of gratitude.
“Wang Tao, thank you! If it weren’t for you, we might all have died…”
“Thank you, Mr. Wang Tao, for saving us!”
The others also bowed to Wang Tao in a soft voice.
“It’s good that everyone is safe.”
Wang Tao gestured with his hand and then gathered separately with Lan Yulian and a few others to inquire about the current situation.
Their fourth squadron had initially more than sixty people, but now only over thirty were left. The team had directly lost half of its number, which was a heavy loss.
However, they had gained quite a bit. If this group could all make it back alive, it’s possible that some Level 3 ability users would emerge.
Regarding the tires, Lan Yulian explained with an angry face:
“It must have been the doing of the prison and the Alliance! I had contacted the Zijin Base Team before, and they too had suffered heavy losses. We had agreed on a rendezvous point. But they told me their vehicles had been tampered with… and then I discovered ours had been tampered with too! I tried to contact the prison and the Alliance again, but still couldn’t get in touch…”
As to who would have a motive for such an act, apart from their own people, everyone else had a motive, given the undercurrents between these four major forces.
But at that time, Lan Yulian and the Zijin Base Team had jointly attacked District A and had witnessed the heavy losses of Zijin Base firsthand. If they really wanted to set someone up, there was no need for such a self-sacrificial scheme.
On the other hand, the prison and the Alliance had claimed they were going to attack District B and also suffered heavy losses, but all of this was communicated over the radio, with no one seeing it with their own eyes.
Now their own vehicles had been tampered with, and it was only those two groups they couldn’t contact. It wasn’t possible they were all annihilated, so obviously there was a problem!
“Crackle…”
Just then, Lan Yulian’s walkie-talkie rang.
She answered it, and on the other side was the leader of Zijin Base, “General”.
“One piece of good news, one bad. The bad news is, the prison and the Alliance didn’t attack the zombies at all. Their goal was to take over my base, so they went straight back.”
This statement made everyone’s faces fall.
“And the good news?”
Lan Yulian asked, her face grim.
She had some subordinates in Zijin Base; if the base fell, they would be in trouble.
“The good news is, they didn’t make it, I stopped them.”
General spoke in a very calm tone.
“Ah? Where are you?”
Lan Yulian’s face showed a hint of surprise.
“Oh, there’s another piece of bad news. All the remnants of our four teams are trapped in the Diving Training Hall. Outside are a large number of Mad Demon Zombies and Level 3 Zombies.”
“…”
The diving hall was located at the very edge of the sports center, a short distance from where they were, and because of the angle, it was not possible to see it.
Lan Yulian immediately switched to another room and took out binoculars.
In her view, she saw several people with binoculars on the roof of the diving hall and the dense mass of figures outside the diving hall!
“I think I see you…”
Lan Yulian said.
“…”
There was a pause from the other side, then the question came:
“Can you rescue us?”
Lan Yulian shook her head instinctively.
“No, there are too many zombies outside of you! There must be at least ten thousand, and they’re Level 2 and 3 zombies, and we only have thirty people total now…”
“…Okay then, can you guys go back to Zijin Base for reinforcements? I still have a fully armed military force.”
