A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse

After lunch, Shao Bai came to find Bei Nuan and the others.

It seemed he was really anxious to complete the mission and find that Li Rui.

Their special operations team moved quickly and was already prepared. Except for a few people staying behind at the camp to protect the refugees, everyone else would set off with Bei Nuan and the others.

"When you find Li Rui, are you planning to kill him?" Bei Nuan asked Shao Bai.

"We hope to capture him alive. It would be best to take him back to the safe zone and hand him over to the researchers to study why some zombies develop intelligence and have organizational skills, capable of commanding other low-intelligence zombies."

Shao Bai added, "But if we can't capture him alive, we must kill him. In short, we absolutely can't let him live."

Bei Nuan understood that this kind of intelligent, rare zombie was a huge threat to humanity.

Zombies were like venomous people with their own poison, and they didn't feel pain, making them extremely powerful in combat. Their biggest weakness was that they were crushed by human intelligence, being stupid and clueless.

If zombies weren't stupid anymore, it would be very difficult to deal with them.

"You've seen the refugees in the camp. Some of them escaped from a nearby settlement and happened to run into us," Shao Bai said.

"Many of them saw Li Rui commanding zombies to attack the settlement, and they said he liked to eat fresh children the most."

Bei Nuan shuddered.

This Li Rui was a little pervert when he was alive, and he's still a zombie pervert after becoming a zombie. Fortunately, he didn't grow up; if he had, he would definitely have become a big pervert.

"Our special operations team has been looking for him in the vicinity, searching for several days, but we haven't even seen his shadow, and we've suffered several losses in a row," Shao Bai said.

"I know he might really be nearby because when fighting zombies in this area, we often encounter very strange situations, like yesterday. You all saw it."

Bei Nuan understood what he meant.

Yesterday's zombies cooperated, with some attracting firepower from the front and others quietly detouring to attack the special operations team from behind. It was indeed very strange.

Bei Nuan thought of something.

"But yesterday, the zombies that attacked us were completely wiped out, and not a single one was left. We didn't see Li Rui. Could it be that he gives the zombies a lecture on strategy and tactics before the attack and then hides in a safe place in the rear? Is he that awesome?"

Shao Bai honestly replied, "Actually, we don't quite understand how he controls the zombies if he's not on the battlefield."

Tang Tang asked, "Then why didn't we search the area carefully yesterday? Maybe he was secretly hiding somewhere watching us, and we could have dug him out if we had searched."

Shao Bai replied, "It's useless. The previous few times we encountered this kind of thing, we searched the area carefully, but we didn't find anything."

Bei Nuan thought, this is strange. Could it be that Li Rui can remotely control zombies?

The place Shao Bai and the others were going this time was a hospital.

This hospital was located in the suburbs and was originally a private hospital for treating mental illnesses.

Shao Bai and the others received information that someone had seen Li Rui there.

Shao Bai had personally led people to investigate and found that this hospital was very special. There were too many zombies inside and out, in groups, making it impossible to enter. It was like a heavily guarded fortress.

"In the infected area, our special operations team may have to abandon the vehicle and walk at any time, so we don't have suitable weapons," Shao Bai raised the gun in his hand. "We can only rely on this to force our way in."

Bei Nuan now understood why he desperately wanted Bei Nuan and the others to help.

He suspected that Li Rui was hiding inside the hospital and needed people with good marksmanship to help them take down this tough nut to crack.

The hospital wasn't too far away, and the convoy arrived quickly.

Outside the hospital was a large area of farmland, with only the hospital standing alone. Inside was a large building.

Shao Bai was right. There were zombies everywhere, inside and out.

Moreover, a large number of zombies were scattered, everywhere, and constantly moving back and forth, as if patrolling.

It was impossible for living people to sneak in.

Bei Nuan observed and felt that even if it was Lu Xingchi and the others, the only way to get in was to attack head-on.

There was no other way, so they had to fight and clear the area bit by bit.

Today, Shao Bai was very generous and gave Bei Nuan a complete set of equipment, including a combat uniform made of specially reinforced fabric for protection against zombies and a tactical helmet.

He also gave her plenty of ammunition, several times more than others, as if he was afraid she wouldn't have enough.

Bei Nuan pretended to put it in her backpack but didn't want to carry such heavy things herself, so she put it all into her space.

There were zombies everywhere, so it didn't matter where they started fighting. The special operations team simply started clearing from the hospital gate. Several team members went up and broke through the gate, and zombies swarmed out, directly colliding with the guns of the team members outside.

The gunshots were loud and attracted zombies, but fortunately, the surrounding area was open farmland, and there weren't many zombies coming over except for the hospital area.

"Everyone, follow me and don't wander around on your own."

From the beginning of the battle, Lu Xingchi whispered to Bei Nuan, Du Ruo, and the others.

There were many zombies and people here, and Bei Nuan and the others had to stay within his sight so he could take care of them.

Bei Nuan blinked her eyes as sincerely as possible to agree, but Lu Xingchi saw through her at a glance.

Lu Xingchi narrowed his eyes.

"I know you have good marksmanship now, but there are too many zombies here, and anything can happen. If you dare to rely on that and run around on your own, believe it or not, from now on, I'll make sure you can't even touch the edge of a gun?"

This was a blatant threat, but Bei Nuan felt that he could definitely do it.

Bei Nuan agreed dejectedly.

Seeing her pouting and dejected expression this time, Lu Xingchi was finally satisfied and ruffled her little head.

Today, Bei Nuan was wearing a combat uniform that was a whole size too big, with the sleeves rolled up, holding a gun, and wearing a tactical helmet on her head.

Under the helmet were a pair of clear, watery eyes and a serious, pursed light pink lips.

Lu Xingchi looked at her from time to time, each glance filled with a smile, as if he found her current appearance very interesting.

Like a beautiful girl figurine wearing the wrong clothes, holding a gun, and posing.

However, Bei Nuan wasn't a figurine for display.

Countless zombies rushed out of the hospital gate like a flood being released. She switched the auto-aim to the fastest headshot mode and fired wildly.

Zombies fell in rows in front of her. The entire special operations team combined didn't kill as many as she did alone.

Lu Xingchi watched her with a smile for a while before picking up his crossbow and joining the battle.

Under the leadership of Bei Nuan and Lu Xingchi, the special operations team steadily held the zombie horde a few meters away from the hospital gate, not even touching the edge of the team.

After fighting for a while, there were fewer zombies automatically coming to the gun, and the team began to advance into the hospital.

Bei Nuan immediately realized that the zombies inside seemed to have changed their strategy.

They no longer stupidly followed the sound of gunfire, giving themselves away for nothing.

Even if they heard the gunshots, they didn't come out easily, only quietly hiding in the corners, waiting for the special operations team to come over before suddenly rushing out and pouncing on people.

It sounded absurd, but that was the truth.

Now Bei Nuan could understand Shao Bai's worries—

The zombies suddenly had brains. The situation really seemed wrong.

After entering the hospital, the team first cleared all the zombies in the corners of the courtyard and then began to enter the building, searching floor by floor, room by room, starting from the first floor.

The special operations team couldn't stay together anymore and had to split into small groups of three or four people.

Lu Xingchi kept a close eye on his group, and also spared some attention to take care of Shao Bai and the others, giving them a hand when they were in danger.

Now they were encountering close combat.

Although Shao Bai and the others didn't have the cheat-like abilities of Bei Nuan and the others, they were much stronger than ordinary people, and they cooperated well with each other, so they advanced smoothly.

After clearing the entire first floor without finding Li Rui's shadow, Shao Bai signaled everyone to go upstairs.

Lu Xingchi stopped him.

"If I were a zombie, and I wanted to hide in this situation, I would definitely hide in the basement."

This hospital had a basement floor without windows. In the apocalypse, when there was no electricity, it was pitch black.

In this environment, zombies, relying on their keen sense of smell and hearing to identify the enemy's location, had an absolute advantage over humans.

Shao Bai thought for a moment and decisively told everyone to go downstairs.

The situation in the apocalypse was special, and the special operations team often had to fight in the dark, so they were equipped with low-light night vision devices with infrared lights, one on each person's helmet.

It was Bei Nuan's first time using this thing, and she found it very fun, as if she was holding a telescope in front of her eyes.

Although they had night vision devices, it wasn't as convenient as using their bare eyes after all. Zombies had an advantage in the dark, so everyone was more cautious than before, and the team advanced very slowly.

Bei Nuan obediently followed closely behind Lu Xingchi.

While everyone else was highly nervous in the zombie-infested darkness, paying attention to the zombies, Bei Nuan wasn't.

Because Lu Xingchi was there, Bei Nuan wasn't worried at all. Her mind wasn't focused on the zombies. She was wearing night vision goggles and looking around everywhere.

Suddenly, she discovered something good in a room that had just been cleared.

It was definitely a generator.

It was much bigger than the generator in Bei Nuan's space, but it looked almost the same.

Bei Nuan quietly walked over and studied it carefully, confirming that it was indeed a gasoline generator, which seemed to be connected to the hospital's power grid, probably for emergency use during power outages.

Next to the generator were two oil drums, which Bei Nuan picked up and looked at. They were already empty.

The thing Bei Nuan's space had the most of was gasoline.

She quietly took out a full portable gasoline can, placed it next to the generator, and then called Shao Bai and the others over.

"Shao Bai, come and see, isn't this a generator?"

Lu Xingchi saw her secretly putting the oil can, and Lu Xingchi smiled without saying a word.

As soon as Shao Bai and the others came over, they became happy.

Maybe this generator could still be used.

Shao Bai found the gasoline can that Bei Nuan had placed next to it, immediately added oil to the generator, started it, and pulled the switch.

The basement floor was flooded with light.

The zombies hiding in the darkness suddenly saw the light and howled in panic.

"This is much more convenient." The members of the special operations team breathed a sigh of relief and sighed.

Du Ruo was quite proud. "You didn't notice that there was a generator here, did you? It was our Bei Nuan who found it!"

Bright light was more beneficial to humans after all, and the special operations team advanced quickly, clearing the floor.

Even Bei Nuan could feel that the further into this basement floor they went, the more zombies there were, densely packed, layer upon layer, as if something was really hidden there.

Soon, they cleared all the rooms on both sides of a corridor.

When the corridor turned a corner, it was dark again ahead.

All the lights in the long corridor in front were broken. Only the entrance had a little light from behind, and the further in, the less they could see.

It wasn't a coincidence. It looked like someone had deliberately sabotaged the lighting.

There was no other way. Everyone put on their night vision devices again.

There were many zombies inside, and Bei Nuan and the others cautiously advanced.

At the end of the corridor was a room with double doors.

Although a large number of zombies were gathered along the way, the long corridor in front of the door was strangely empty.

The emptiness seemed very abnormal, even more eerie than if there were zombies.

The team stopped not far from the door. Shao Bai signaled another team member to go forward with him, preparing to break down the door, when the door suddenly opened.

A large group of zombies pushed and shoved, rushing out of the door together.

In the dim corridor, they were only a few meters away from the rushing zombies. A moment of carelessness could mean death.

Everyone focused their firepower on blowing the zombies' heads off.

Shao Bai and the others opened fire together. A burst of gunfire rang out, and the zombies rushing out of the door fell one after another.

They finally managed to kill all the zombies that kept rushing out, and the door opened again, with another large group of zombies rushing towards them.

Bei Nuan and the others continued to clear them out.

However, batches of zombies kept pouring out of the door endlessly.

It was as if that door was a legendary treasure, a monster's big mouth, capable of spitting out zombies endlessly.

The special operations team killed several batches in a row, and Bei Nuan felt something was wrong.

She looked up at Lu Xingchi.

Lu Xingchi lowered his head and exchanged a look with her.

"The bodies on the ground have disappeared," he said softly.

He was right.

Looking out through the night vision device, if one paid attention, one could see that when a batch of zombies rushed out, the bodies of the previous batch of zombies lying on the ground quietly disappeared.

Shao Bai and the others hadn't noticed yet.

Because zombies were constantly coming out of the door, and they were too close, all of Shao Bai and the others were concentrating and constantly shooting the zombies' heads, unable to pay attention to the abnormality.

Only Lu Xingchi, for whom killing zombies at this speed was basically resting, saw the problem at a glance.

Bei Nuan also noticed another strange thing.

Because bullets were precious, others shot very conservatively. Bei Nuan was different from other special operations team members. She fired much faster than them.

Her magazine of bullets should have been used up long ago.

However, the bullets didn't decrease. Her gun could fire endlessly.

"About a minute," Lu Xingchi said.

Bei Nuan completely understood what he was saying.

"Just enough time to kill a batch of zombies," Bei Nuan added.

They were in a loop.

A batch of zombies rushed out, was killed, and the bodies on the ground disappeared. Then another batch of zombies rushed out, was killed, and disappeared again.

This was repeated endlessly.

Even if the light was dim and they were nervous, after repeating it so many times, some people noticed something was wrong.

Knowing how many bullets were left in the magazine was a basic skill for a soldier. Someone finally reached the point where they should have run out of bullets, but like Bei Nuan, they still had bullets.

"Why do we keep having bullets?" Someone looked at their gun.

Someone wondered, "Wasn't that the zombie I just killed?"

Bei Nuan had also seen it early on. Every time the zombies came out of the door, it was the same batch.

The zombies all had red eyes, bared their teeth, and were ragged, looking almost the same. However, after seeing them again and again, they could recognize their faces.

"The bodies on the ground are gone too," someone said.

Shao Bai also noticed that something was wrong. He frowned and asked as he continued to kill zombies, "What's going on?"

He was the captain. Before anyone could answer, he said, "We're retreating first."

At his words, the entire team immediately retreated.

However, before they could take a few steps back, everything suddenly blurred.

Everyone seemed to teleport, jumping back to where they had just been standing.

Bei Nuan already understood.

This was a trap.

The trap lasted a minute, like a circle, imprisoning everyone, repeating over and over again.

The same batch of zombies emerged endlessly, and they killed them endlessly.

Like an inescapable hell.
