The frontline further contracted towards the quarantine gate, but no one entered the inspection area.
Because it’s enclosed inside, once a monster rushes in, everyone would be trapped inside to die.
Cheng Ye tried to use the Defense Communication to contact the outside world. The screen lit up normally, the functions resud operation, but the signal was still blocked by the mist.
But at that mont, a burst of dense gunfire suddenly pierced the silence.
Da da, da da da.
Not Zone B, nor Zone D, but... Quarantine Zone A.
Mixed in the gunfire were the sinister snarls and frenzied roars of monsters.
It was like a fuse had been instantly lit, making the previously quiet mist, where one could hear each other’s breathing, suddenly beco noisy.
"It’s here!"
Almost simultaneously, the mist in Zone C brought a clear ’click, click’ sound, as if so hard claws were tapping on the ground, slowly but with an oppressive sense of approaching from multiple directions.
The infected bodies won’t make such strange sounds.
"Mutant Beast?"
Cheng Ye shouted abruptly, raising Thunder 1 first and pulling the trigger towards the direction where the sound was clearest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The roar of the shotgun exploded in the mist, and a few streaks of crimson shot up in the mist ahead, followed by the sharp, painful howls of monsters.
It’s effective!
The sound of gunfire instantly beca the main the, and without caring where exactly the things inside were, everyone started pulling the trigger into the thick mist with the thought of striking first to gain the upper hand.
The bullets tore through the fog curtain, making sharp whistling sounds as they cut through the air.
Suddenly, a dark shadow disregarded the shooting blockade and rushed out, and Cheng Ye pulled the trigger without thinking.
A beautiful blood flower blossod.
Then ca the "thud" sound of sothing heavy falling, landing in front of the truck and bouncing twice.
"Is it an Ant Wolf?"
Everyone looked closely, and the true form of the monster corpse in front of the truck was revealed.
Its gray-black fur was stained with blood and dirt, with fangs exposed. Its size was slightly larger than an ordinary wild wolf, just the Ant Wolf at the bottom of the wasteland food chain.
For no reason, the panic in everyone’s hearts instantly disappeared.
Especially Hei, who was huddled in the corner, who stood up directly and barked furiously at the mist.
Damn, who are you trying to scare?
We thought it was so powerful monster, turns out it’s an Ant Wolf that humans can defeat barehanded?
Seeing the barely contained eagerness in everyone’s eyes, Cheng Ye lightly coughed, suppressing the gradually heating agitation: "Hold your positions, until the mist clears, no one move recklessly."
When you’re scared to the bone, you always need a window to vent.
The shooting just now was a wave of release, instantly letting out most of the fear and anxiety accumulated in everyone’s hearts.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
In fact, if you really let them charge out, they definitely wouldn’t dare.
And after the gunfire ceased, the mutant beasts in the mist were clearly scared off and dared not advance any further.
But awkwardly, as the mist gradually cleared, the corridor they could pass through seed to...
Disappeared?
Sounds of anxious roars ca with scratching noises.
As the mist dissipated a bit more, Cheng Ye squinted and saw more Ant Wolves erging, as many as thirty or fifty.
They crowded in front of the quarantine warehouse, huddled at the edge of the mist in the corner, baring their teeth and drooling in front of the defensive formation by the quarantine net, yet they dared not step a foot over.
"Fog Cave, it’s real..."
Cheng Ye’s heart sank a bit.
If the Ant Wolves want to enter the quarantine zone, they must first go through his inspection area.
But now, so many Ant Wolves suddenly appear in the quarantine zone, already proving one thing.
Through the Fog Cave ford by Void Mist, it’s indeed possible to instantaneously reach the other side, ignoring spatial distance.
The Ant Wolves, at the bottom of the food chain, pose negligible threat.
But what if it’s the infected bodies, the pri sources, or even the Extraordinary Earth-bound Spirits that appear?
"I hope this Void Mist is just an accidental formation, otherwise, if it continuously erupts around Happiness City for a long ti..."
Cheng Ye looked at the gradually dispersing mist, silently praying at this mont.
Ti approached just after 3 o’clock, and the mist enveloping the checkpoint seed to receive so kind of signal.
In just a minute or two, it suddenly dispersed as if swept by a whirlwind, shrinking back to its original scale.
Though there remained a veil-like mist, it was now akin to ordinary water vapor, completely not affecting visibility.
Cheng Ye instinctively looked towards neighboring Zones B and D, discovering the situation was remarkably similar to Zone C.
Each area had ford a defensive circle centered on the quarantine gate, facing only mutant beasts, without any infected bodies appearing.
Even in Zone A, which saw the earliest outbreak of combat, the opponents were rely larger mutant beasts, with no unmanageable monsters appearing.
"Clean up the Ant Wolves."
"Yes."
After the mist cleared, the dozens of Ant Wolves huddled in the corner posed almost no threat.
Cheng Ye instructed She to bring people for cleanup, while he walked back to the quarantine net just as Song Hai approached.
"The Fog Cave is real, these mutant beasts probably ca through the Fog Cave passage."
"Indeed, the trouble might be significant." Song Hai’s expression was noticeably dazed; after a mont of silence, he suddenly squeezed out two words:
"Take care!!!"
?
Cheng Ye was taken aback, his expression suddenly fell silent.
If he hadn’t co to report, by regulation, Song Hai would need to team up with Wang Kang for a full cycle before being able to leave, not deserting his post due to the increased danger level.
But now that he’s here, Song Hai can smoothly step away.
The Third-stage Inspector already had the qualification to enter the Inner City. Whether hiding inside the Inner City or leaving the city for a secret refuge was much safer than staying at the checkpoint.
But leaving the checkpoint, going to other places, would it really be safe?
