The girl carrying the rifle said, "Even if they are willing to come, the psychic paranormal can also sense how dangerous this place is. Once they sense danger, I highly doubt they'll come to help."

Hearing the girl's words, the survivors felt depressed again. Of course, what that girl said was right. For most of the survivors' teams, a level-2 mutant zombie was quite dangerous. Generally speaking, avoiding the danger area was a common choice. How could that team come to rescue them? Actually, they were just trying their luck. Only some familiar teams would rescue them for the sake of God. But even that chance was infinitely close to zero, let alone an unknown team!

Thinking of this, the survivors became desperate. Their team was actually quite good as they had six paranormals, and the rest were all ordinary people. Usually, they worked hard together, trying to find food and medicine. The girl carrying a rifle was their captain, named Wei Feifei. In order to fight against that mutant zombie, Wei Feifei had barely slept, at most, she had only closed her eyes. She was almost at her limit, as long as she fell, nobody in her team could fight against that mutant zombie anymore. In other words, everyone would die.

"I'll just take a break. And then, I will launch an attack. You don't need to care about me, just escape as soon as possible. Whether you can escape or not, it all depends on your fate," Wei Feifei said. She took out a small piece of dried meat and began to eat slowly. She chewed slowly, in order to get a greater sense of fullness. After being trapped for a week, the basics that could be eaten had already been consumed, and her physical strength had been exhausted. If she didn't work hard, when she lost her total physical strength, she couldn't even have a chance to fight.

"Feifei…" The girl with psychic abilities looked at Wei Feifei sadly.

"Don't cry. You should save your energy and spirit. When you withdraw, you should lead the way," Wei Feifei said coldly. Although she was younger, she was as good as her word. The girl with psychic abilities was named Peach. After Wei Feifei scolded her, she immediately stopped crying and sat back by holding her knees. Peach regretted that when she met that mental strength, she immediately called her power back. Maybe she should send information to the other party for help. Trying was better than doing nothing. However, her mental energy had all been consumed. She closed her eyes, trying to calm down and regain her mental strength, but she failed.

'What a good-for-nothing I am!' Peach buried her head in her knees with her lips clenching. No crying sound could be heard, but she couldn't hold back the tears streaming down her face.

The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, and many people were secretly wiping their tears. They didn't dare to look at Wei Feifei at all because they couldn't be of help.

After some time, a strong psychic sense swept over the building.

Peach blinked and immediately looked up.

"What's wrong?" Noticing her change, a survivor quickly asked.

Peach was slightly stunned and then said, "They asked us where we are..."

"Well, does this team know us?" Suddenly, all the survivors in the room became excited. It seemed their luck had yet to abandon them.

"Who are they?" Wei Feifei asked.

"I'll let him talk to you directly," said Peach.

Soon, Wei Feifei heard a lazy voice in her head, 'We are the Celestial Pole Squad. I heard that your team has been missing several days now. Fortunately, we were in this area today.'

'Yang Ying?' Wei Feifei was shocked, and a complicated expression appeared on her face. She knew Yang Ying.

Although her team always acted around this area, as a captain, she still needed to trade for commodities with other teams. In that trading market, hundreds of teams of all sizes were gathered together. The Celestial Pole Squad was one of them. Yang Ying, the captain of that team, was a terrible paranormal. At that gathering area, Yang Ying had invited Wei Feifei plenty of times and was very attentive to her. However, Wei Feifei had refused every single time because Yang Ying's reputation was one of the worst.

'To think that with a casual scan I'd be able to detect you. Feifei, it seems that you can keep up for much longer.' Yang Ying smiled.

Wei Feifei replied in her mind, 'Were you the ones who detected us earlier?'

'Earlier?' Yang Ying was stunned. 'It's impossible. How could I waste my mental power on such a long distance? I just drove here and detected you. I found an extremely powerful creature near you. What's that? A zombie or a mutant beast?' Yang Ying asked.

Originally, Wei Feifei would like to ask who was the psychic paranormal who had detected them. However, after hearing Yang Ying's question, she forgot to ask.

' It is a level-2 mutant zombie,' Wei Feifei said based on facts. After all, Yang Ying wasn't a kind guy. Wei Feifei knew clearly that she couldn't trust Yang Ying.

'Oh, it's a vicious one. Although my team can already be ranked within the top ten, it is still somewhat difficult for us to fight against a level-2 mutant zombie. Feifei, I truthfully would like to help you, but I can't waste my ammo and personnel,' Yang Ying said perplexedly.

'Five boxes of ammunition, five tons of mutant meat, and four level-1 mutant nuclei,' Wei Feifei said directly in her mind. All those things were luxurious commodities for her team, but she knew that Yang Ying had come here to rob her while her house was on fire. And thus, Wei Feifei made a fast and resolute decision.

'Feifei, are the lives of your team members worth this little?' Yang Ying smiled. 'Or do you take my team as beggars?'

'Yang Ying, I know your team was powerful, but what I'm offering should be enough. Be straightforward, what do you have in your mind?' Wei Feifei frowned immediately.

Although Wei Feifei exposed him, Yang Ying did not feel awkward at all. He kept smiling and said, 'Feifei, I appreciate your forthright. Since you asked, I will be straightforward then. Even though your team had ordinary people, it is still above average as you even have a psychic paranormal, as well as you…'

'What's your point?' Wei Feifei asked coldly.

'If we rescue you, my team will annex your team,' Yang Ying replied.

Wei Feifei's expression changed the moment she heard that. 'So you want us to sell ourselves to you for saving us?' Wei Feifei asked angrily.

'Hey, don't say it that way. If you join us, it will still be a win-win situation. To be more precise, you will be the ones taking advantage of us. This is the only condition, make the decision,' Yang Ying said.

Naturally, Wei Feifei didn't believe anything of what Yang Ying had just said. Her answer could definitely change everything, but at what cost? Wei Feifei pondered over it for a while, and then she recounted Yang Ying's words to the others.

"Annexed?"

"But I heard that he was very cruel."

"Fang Shengjin is also in his team. It's said that anyone who dared provoke him was killed…"

The other members discussed, "But if we refuse…" Nobody dared to continue that sentence.

'Oh!' At this moment, Yang Ying's voice rang in Wei Feifei's mind again. 'Do you want to sacrifice yourself by battling the level-2 zombie while the others escape? Feifei, you are truly naïve.'

Wei Feifei was stunned when she heard that. 'How dare you read my thoughts!?'

'Hey, it is a common thing. I am a psychic paranormal you know,' Yang Ying said, 'You are so courageous. It is reasonable to say that I should not burst your bubble. But to be honest, I feel that even if you do that, you won't be able to help them escape…'

Hearing his words, Wei Feifei became annoyed. She had already thought of that possibility. 'Are you threatening me?'

'Don't mind me. Feifei, you can think about it carefully before giving me an answer.' Yang Ying's words made Wei Feifei feel disgusted. She knew that Yang Ying was not a kind man, but she did not expect him to be that vicious. If she refused, Yang Ying wouldn't only not help, but he would also harm them instead. With the strength of his team, it would be a quite an easy feat.

…

Presently, in a place less than a street away from the small building where Wei Feifei and others were located, several off-road vehicles were parked there with dozens of zombies' bodies around them. Not even a drop of blood flowed from the corpses, as their necks were all twisted off in a lively way. As a result, no other zombies were attracted by them, nor would they attract the attention of that level-2 mutant zombie.

Next to the zombies' bodies, stood a steel door-like strong man, and on the side of the car, a young man, who was very handsome, was leaning. His eyes looked somewhat sinister .

'Wei Feifei, you have nowhere to go, I don't believe you won't agree. As long as I, Yang Ying, like a woman, they will all belong to me sooner or later…' Yang Ying chewed his gum while ruffling his hair in the rearview mirror.

Currently, Wei Feifei was as isolated and helpless as a piece of meat on Yang Ying's chopping board.

However, at this moment, Yang Ying's eyes suddenly looked awkward. From the rearview mirror he saw that at the end of the street, a small white spot had suddenly appeared. The white dot was moving quickly, so he faintly saw what it was. It was a minibus!

Jiang Liushi and the others were not familiar with the road, so it took them some time to finally reach the building.

"Brother Jiang, the people in front, are the ones I told you that were also approaching that building."

Jiang Liushi nodded. He didn't know who they were at all. Actually, no matter who they were, it made no difference to him. He just wanted to ask about the route.

"Brother Jiang, that level-2 mutant zombie is still in front of them," Ran Xiyu continued.

In the eyes of Jiang Liushi, there was a glimmer of light. It was a good chance for him to upgrade his minibus. Meeting a level-2 mutant zombie was a real surprise for Jiang Liushi.

At the same time, Yang Ying and his members were staring at the minibus, and they also noticed an armored off-road vehicle following it.

As the minibus was getting closer, Yang Ying's ear heard an extraordinary sound, yet so familiar. But that sound also made Yang Ying's heart skip a beat and get an ominous feeling.

'This sound can't be-'
