Chapter 805: Who Is That Woman?

“Yama Corps, listen up! On-duty personnel stay put, everyone else gather at the parking lot immediately! Repeat…”

Zhang Su picked up the internal communication walkie-talkie and issued the order. On Celestial Horse Island, shadows flickered as everyone who received the order began to move.

At the sentry post at the mountain gate, Pang Dakun was munching on seeds while guarding the gate. Normally, it was training time, but due to some special affairs today, it was delayed by an hour, allowing him to relax. The voice from the walkie-talkie shocked him, as he wondered what was going on, and then saw Zhang Su leading a huge crowd hastily up the mountain.

“Uncle, why is there an emergency assembly all of a sudden?”

Pang Dakun quickly hid his sunflower seeds under the seat cushion and stood up holding his gun, as he was exempt from the assembly because of his guarding duty.

Seeing sunflower seed shells still hanging from Pang Dakun’s mouth, Zhang Su helplessly curled his lips and said, “Go find your Aunt Yang Wenjie to take over your post. You can’t miss this mission!”

“Oh, alright!”

Pang Dakun dared not delay and jumped down from the sentry post before sprinting towards the camp.

In less than two minutes, the personnel assembled, yet Zhang Su was nowhere to be seen.

“What’s going on? Old Wu, Brother Su called you all up. Is something wrong?”

Pan Guoliang asked with a frown.

The Yama Corps members were puzzled, unclear about what was happening.

Wu Baokang said with a serious expression, “The brothers heading to the Mountain and Sea District encountered trouble, we’re going to rescue them!”

“What? Zhuzi and the others are in trouble?”

Yu Qing turned pale upon hearing this.

Tan Huajun hurriedly asked Wu Baokang, “Did Xiaolu and the others get into trouble?”

It was well known that Lu Yubo and her daughter were close, not exactly a secret. Mo Qianlan often talked to her about Lu Yubo. Tan Huajun liked her prospective son-in-law and had a good relationship with the others, so hearing about their trouble made her very anxious.

Pang Dakun exaggeratedly said, “Impossible, my Uncle Zhuzi and the others can’t be in trouble!”

“Teacher Duan and the other four, except Xiaowu who is slightly weaker at killing zombies, are pretty strong! Plus, with those guys from Dragon Head Camp together, what could possibly go wrong…”

“It wouldn’t be a conflict with the people from Dragon Head Camp, would it?”

“Heck, maybe it’s not far fetched. Could it be that the survivors from Dragon Head Camp captured Zhuzi and the others?”

There were only about thirty people present, and the news quickly spread as people discussed the situation, considering multiple possibilities.

“Quiet, quiet, Brother Su is coming.”

At this moment, three people walked over from the guest house area. It was Zhang Su, Zheng Xinyu, and a woman with a peculiar walking posture…

“Hmm?” Liu Yao tapped Qi Xiaoshuai’s shoulder, curiously asking, “Xiaoshuai, who is that limping beauty?”

“I’ve never seen her before. Could it be… King Yama took another concubine?”

Wu Baokang curiously asked.

“Oh, a concubine? That’s impressive!” Fan Dahai joined in the fun.

“What the hell… she’s not a concubine!” Qi Xiaoshuai grimaced at Wu Baokang and Fan Dahai’s words and quickly said, “You’ll find out shortly!”

Program 003’s bodily coordination skills have significantly improved, reaching about eighty percent of normal walking speed. However, when Zhang Su speeds up, it’s still quite lacking.

Under everyone’s gaze, Zhang Su and his group of three approached the parking lot, neither hurried nor slow.

“Must be curious who she is, right? Let me introduce the new member of Yama Corps to you all!”

Zhang Su wasted no time and swiftly removed the mask from Program 003’s face.

“Oh my gosh!”

“Damn…”

“Hey!”

The eight people coming up from the mountain were all shocked upon seeing the visibly zombified face.

“Don’t panic. She’s called Program 003, a zombie who hasn’t completely lost human consciousness, and she’s part of Yama Corps. Her ability is to communicate and exert some degree of control over zombies. However, her body techniques are relatively weak. You’ve all seen it, she’s struggling with walking and other aspects, so try to look out for her during battles!”

Zhang Su candidly introduced Program 003’s situation. It wouldn’t be possible to hide her condition from the comrades in arms, so they might as well know earlier to strategize better.

“That’s amazing…”

“Oh my, we’ve upgraded from clueless zombie-killing?”

“Yama Corps really is full of hidden talents!”

After hearing Zhang Su’s words, the eight Elite Corps members looked at Program 003 with strange curiosity, their eyes burning with interest. Ever since zombies appeared, people’s receptiveness to new things had increased significantly.

“Come on, Program, everyone likes you, say hi to everyone.”

Awoo awoo.

Program 003 wore a pale blue lightweight down jacket, and if one ignored her face, she looked entirely like a skinny and charming girl. She raised her hand, waved to everyone, and even nodded along.

“Alright, hello…”

“Oh my god, a zombie said hi to me…”

“Am I really not dreaming, hiss…”

The eight people found the fantastical scene particularly amusing. Liu Yao even pinched himself to confirm he wasn’t dreaming.

Zhang Su pressed his palm down to quiet the crowd: “Alright, back to business, today’s rescue operation is no small matter. Xiaoliu, go to Cui Leng Pavilion and call Qiu Hui!”

Qiu Hui, another unfamiliar name.

Not only were the Elite Corps confused, but even many members of Yama Corps were curious, wondering who Qiu Hui was.

Only a few of those who stayed on Celestial Horse Island during the third snowfall knew. In their memory, after Qiu Hui’s leg was severed, she had been receiving treatment at Cui Leng Pavilion, and there hadn’t been news for a while, leading some to think she was dead. It was unexpected to hear her name again.

Not long after, Liu Tianji brought Qiu Hui to the parking lot.

The people who witnessed Qiu Hui’s leg being chopped off were stunned. The lively and swift-running woman was indeed Qiu Hui.

“Brother Su, is this… a prosthetic limb?”

Lü Leiyang asked in shock, having witnessed Yang Liehuo sever Qiu Hui’s leg.

“It’s not a prosthetic limb. After injecting the zombie inhibitor, Qiu Hui underwent some peculiar changes, including limb regeneration!”

Zhang Su didn’t hide the fact but added, “This is not a conventional treatment method, so it won’t work on disabled individuals with amputations. Don’t spread the word!”

Everyone nodded, understanding the importance of keeping their mouths shut.

“Brother Su, what is… today’s mission?”

Qiu Hui looked nervously at the elite individuals before her, feeling a bit inadequate despite some special abilities.

Zhang Su signaled Liu Tianji and Qiu Hui to return to the group, speaking, “Don’t be nervous, taking you along today is mainly for some training! Alright… next up, I’m going to tell you something very important!

Those brothers who went to Cyan Dragon Corps should remember that night we watched from Qing County as Cyan Dragon Corps was surrounded by the zombie horde. We fled in haste because of a modified zombie called 004!

Back then, 004 was ablaze and incredibly strong. Based on past experiences, it seemed doomed, but unfortunately, it survived the trial by fire, and now it’s trailing the Mountain and Sea Squad and Dragon Head Camp fighters!

When this news was announced, those in the know were greatly startled. The Yama Corps witnessed Program 003’s power, but 004 was far stronger than 003, undoubtedly a formidable foe!

Tan Huajun covered her mouth with her hand, eyes filled with despair. She feared those tracked by 004 on their way to Mountain and Sea wouldn’t survive.

“No… they can’t be in danger!”

Yu Qing’s face showed a hint of sorrow.

“It’s not that bad, don’t be pessimistic!” Zhang Su raised his hand, “004 suffered significant injuries at that time and hasn’t recovered. It only dares to track Bozai and the others from afar, likely seeking an opportunity to strike. I’ve already arranged to confront 004 at the chapel to the north!”

After Zhang Su’s words, he looked at the eight puzzled faces: “You don’t know about 004’s situation, so let me briefly explain. It’s approximately four to five meters tall, elongated, with movement speed and jumping ability several times that of a normal person, immensely strong, capable of swatting five or six people away with a single strike! Big-bodied beasts are strong, but ten of them wouldn’t match 004. Despite showing signs of weakness, it’s still formidable, so you all must stay in peak condition to face it, understood?”

“Understood!”

Everyone had never seen Zhang Su so serious and solemn, where dared they slack off? They all nodded in agreement.
