NOVEL WEB Chapter 520: Twists and Turns
The Corpse Speakers looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock.
The leader's face turned iron blue as he slowly moved his body. He had just lured zombies over, only to find that the other party had used a drone to lead them back.
The other two people with him saw their team leader retreating, so they followed suit and moved as well.
They did not follow the zombies chasing the drone but headed toward another street.
As they were moving against the direction of the zombie horde, they were very noticeable, so they were soon discovered by the drone.
Li Gang saw those people moving against the direction of the zombies on the drone's display screen, their postures distinguishable from the surrounding zombies.
He shouted to Li Yu, "Brother Yu, come take a look. There's something going on here."
Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately walked over and saw those few people.
From the edge of the building, looking over, the distance was too far and the view was blocked by another building, so they had to give up.
Reluctantly, he said, "It looks like it was them causing trouble just now. We can't see them from here. So, fly the drone over their heads and attract the zombies there."
Li Gang instantly understood Li Yu's idea and controlled the drone to fly over the heads of those few people.
The drone's loudspeaker was still ringing, also attracting the surrounding zombies.
Wherever the drone went, the zombies followed.
Those people who had just separated from the zombie horde saw the drone flying towards them and immediately felt a tightening scalp.
This meant that the people at the hospital had discovered their presence.
Li Yu watched as the drone flew past and then hovered above those few people.
The surrounding zombies clustered together, and those individuals were crowded at the center by the zombies attracted by the noise.
"What should we do? Big brother?" The short young man asked.
He was the shortest and almost half a head shorter than an ordinary person. Now he was almost out of breath as the surrounding zombies closed in.
The leader, looking at the drone hovering in the sky, flashed a look of irritation and wanted to pull out his handgun to shoot the drone down, but there were too many zombies around.
If he fired his gun, it was highly likely that the surrounding zombies would discover his disguise.
Li Gang and others watched those few people getting squeezed by the zombies, laughing uncontrollably.
"Big brother, look at them, hahaha, they're hilarious."
However, Li Yu did not laugh, but rather thoughtfully said, "Using this drone merely to attract zombies is too wasteful.
Although we trapped them momentarily with the drone, we couldn't kill them.
It'd be great if we could use the drone to shoot.
We should ask He Bing at the base to modify it, so we can use the drone to kill enemies."
The others lit up upon hearing this, thinking it was a good idea.
The drone hovered in the air, and as the sound continued, more and more zombies gathered.
"What should we do, big brother? We can't keep going like this," the short young man said in despair.
The zombie on his left was almost touching his face.
"Push through," the team leader said.
The three of them pressed tightly and slowly made their way out.
The faces of these zombies, like ravines, with dried blood streaks making them look even more terrifying.
The few of them held their breaths and moved their bodies slowly.
In five minutes, they had only moved less than 5 meters, and the drone overhead saw their movement and instantly moved above their heads.
Seeing the drone following them, they were somewhat desperate.
Just then—
Bang!
A gunshot sound.
It wasn't clear where the shot was fired from, but it hit the drone's loudspeaker.
The loudspeaker immediately gave out a sound of electric current.
The force of the bullet caused the drone to wobble as it almost fell to the ground.
Li Gang quickly lifted the drone.
He raised it to a height of about ten meters.
The loudspeaker was damaged by the shot, and the sound stopped.
But the gunshot had immediately drawn the attention of the zombies.
The zombies turned to the street to the east, where a man holding a handgun was now loudly yelling after seeing zombies looking his way, "Big brother, let's get moving."
After shouting, he darted into the house behind him.
Immediately after entering, he closed the wooden door and hid inside.
The zombies attracted by the gunshot noise quickly surrounded the place.
From high above, the drone could clearly see the scene: thousands of zombies, like a tide, left from beneath the drone and headed towards the house where the gun was fired.
"It's Dongdong, boss," the short young said after the crowd of zombies around him diminished, taking a deep breath.
Earlier, their group had split into two teams to lure zombies in two different directions.
Dongdong was the one who had gone to Paris Spring to attract the zombies.
The team leader, looking resentfully at the drone, then said to the others nearby, "Let's go."
Then he turned towards the nearby building.
The short young man, looking at the building Dongdong was in, couldn't help saying, "What about Dongdong? He was trying to save us, and now he's trapped there."
