Zombie Sister Strategy

Wang Jian’s scalp went numb when he saw the countless zombies crowding on the roads, streets, and alleys.

“What should we do? Are we going to take a detour?” asked a man by Wang Jian’s side.

“We definitely need to… There are too many zombies. Not to mention if they’ll attack us, they can easily crush us by just jumping on us,” said Wang Jian with a sullen face.

“I guess we have to take a detour, but that means we’ll spend an extra night on the journey. Let’s rest a little for now,” the man sighed and said, also with a depressed look.

Wang Jian nodded, then turned and went downstairs. He didn’t know that Lu Tong and his people who were hiding nearby had grasped his every movement.

“Do it when it gets dark. Don’t expose yourselves,” Lu Tong said to Li Honglin and the others.

“I get it,” Li Honglin nodded.

They couldn’t just rush out and capture every commoner they saw. Starting a war would do them no good, not to mention the fact that Wang Jian and his people were armed. Therefore, Li Honglin and his people watched Wang Jian and the other commoners from a distance. Fortunately, there were no zombies nearby to cause them difficulties.

Watching Wang Jian and his people fall back and then get stationed in a relatively safer area, Lu Tong and his people were delighted. Those commoners had created them a perfect opportunity for capturing.

That night, Wang Jian arranged a squad of people to guard the site once it got dark. He and his people planned to spend the night in a screening room in the movie theatre which was located on the top floor of the building, and leave the next morning, to take a detour to the new base.

The people under his leadership were all commoners. They weren’t as sensitive to the surroundings as zombies or superpowered people. Except for the few who used to serve in the army, most of them were just normal people. Back in Hades Base, they lived average lives. Most of them did simple jobs to earn a small amount of food, and lived in the poor area.

There were a few paths leading to the screening room, each guarded by Wang Jian’s people.

A closed passageway which was the furthest away from the screening room was guarded by four people. They were holding their guns in their arms, leaning against the wall.

“It’s so cold! I think I’m starving and tired. I want a warm bed so much!” One of the four murmured while letting out a warm breath onto his hands.

“I just want to eat! I would die for a warm grilled chicken!” Said another man. He put the gun before his chest and crossed his arms.

The others nodded in agreement.

Right at that moment, a sound was heard from behind the closed door.

“Something is happening!” One of the four suddenly tightened his face and turned vigilant. He pressed his ear against the door to try and listen more carefully. The others instantly became alert as well.

“What was that sound!” Another man whispered.

“Shh!” The man who had his ear on the door immediately raised a forefinger to signal for the others to be quiet. However, he heard no sound from the outside, as if nothing had happened just now.

After spending a while listening, the man looked at his friends and said confusedly, “How strange! There was a sound just now, right? Why can’t I hear anything now?”

“That’s right. We all heard it, right?” Another man asked the other two, and the latter nodded.

At that time, one of them shivered as he rubbed his arms and said, “Why is it getting colder and colder?”

“Really? It’s always this cold! Are you having an illusion?” Another man looked at him, feeling queer.

None of them noticed that a thin layer of ice was creeping in under the door at that very moment. Within a blink, their feet were frozen. They felt something and lowered their heads to look at their feet, then found that their feet were already iced. They opened their mouth wide, but before they could utter any sound, they were all turned into ice statues.

Next, some noises were heard from the door lock, and the door was soon opened. A few people quickly came in and dragged the four frozen guards away, leaving the door unguarded.

The four guards were defrosted once they were dragged out of the door.

They gasped for air as they finally came back to their senses. At the sight of the people before them, they started to struggle intensely.

“You b*stards!”

Bang!

One of the guards burst in curses, ended up suffering a gunstock strike on the head. All four of them were soon pressed down and tied up.

“Shut up if you want to live!” Li Honglin glared at them and said coldly.

The freezing and defrosting happened within a minute, so the short suffocation didn’t kill the four guards.

“Li Honglin! You took our food and left! What are you doing back here now!” One of the four stared at Li Honglin and said with anger.

“You are about to find out,” Li Honglin gave a cold smile, then turned and left. “Keep an eye on them. These aren’t enough. We need to capture more!”

“Li Honglin! Let us go! Or our boss will kill you and your people! You scums!” Another guard cursed loudly.

Thud! A superpowered man kicked on his head while yelling, “Shut the f*ck up!”

“What do you want?” Hearing Li Honglin mention about capturing more people, a man among the four had a bad feeling. He immediately glared at one of the superpowered men and asked wrathfully.

“You’ll know. Now, shut up, or don’t blame us for having no mercy!” said a superpowered man.

Soon, Li Honglin and his people returned with another few commoners. Those commoners were tied up and pushed to a corner.

On the other side, Wang Jian had learned that some guards were missing.

“There is ice here! Superpowered people!” Wang Jian and his people went to the exit passageway and found ice on the ground, but not on the door. Clearly, the ice had reached in through under the door.

A few footprints were found on the ice, and some other traces. The four guards should have been dragged away from there.

The door was open, but not broken. Clearly, it wasn’t zombies that attacked them. Zombies would leave claw marks everywhere.

Wang Jian quickly figured out that the attackers were human.

“Superpowered people? Was it Li Honglin and the others? Didn’t they leave?” One of Wang Jian’s men said with surprise.

“I guess they haven’t left,” Wang Jian watched the ice melt with a serious look. He was trying to figure out why Li Honglin had captured those commoners.
