"That girl really doesn't listen to advice. The first thing I saw when we went in was her."
Zhou Haimei also looked at the scene with a sigh.
It seemed as if the girl's fate had long been sealed.
"But what should we do about this man?"
Zhou Haimei looked at the man running ahead, a hint of worry on her face.
"This man must have realized something, which is why he deliberately brought people here to chase us. We just don't know if this man only brought that girl, or if there are others."
This was also the biggest concern for the two of them.
They were not afraid of one or two people, but if there were many, it would be difficult to avoid mistakes.
If they were not careful, their mother and Yueyue might fall into a trap.
They could not afford to take that risk.
"Let's find a way to kill this man."
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Haimei made this decision. The threat posed by this man was simply too great. He had already chased them all the way here, and who could guarantee that he would not pose a threat to them in the future?
At this moment, Xu An did not know that satellite communication had been restored.
Upon entering Zone B, she instinctively muted her communicator.
This was her usual habit, and it was no different this time.
Therefore, Xu An did not know that Qin Chuan was searching for her everywhere.
Xu An looked at the man below and said in a cold tone, "Let's observe for now. If it's not absolutely necessary, we should try not to make a move."
Xu An was not showing mercy. It was just that, at the Lighthouse, she never wanted to treat human lives so casually.
If a person's life became as insignificant as grass in her eyes, then what difference would there be between her and those mindless zombies chasing and running below?
The man ran very fast, indicating he was trained. His muscles were covered by a black shirt, showing a vigorous temperament.
Xu An had not expected that this man, who looked so gaunt, would possess such explosive power when running.
He kept looking back, firing his gun at the zombies behind him.
He would occasionally curse in Mandarin.
Seeing this, Xu An felt fortunate that she hadn't confronted the man head-on at that time.
It turned out this man still had a trump card.
Zhou Haimei looked at the man below with lingering fear.
"Damn it, I didn't expect this bastard to have a gun. He hid it pretty well."
Xu An nodded in agreement.
When they first encountered Liu Liu, Liu Liu had only said that this man had a very sharp dagger in his hand.
Liu Liu had no reason to deceive them, so it could only be said that this man had been disguised all along.
Xu An was now happy to watch the show.
As the number of zombies behind the man grew, their vast and dense ranks made one's scalp tingle just looking at them.
However, Xu An felt something strange.
"Why hasn't this man left yet? Even if he wants to get revenge on us, he wouldn't disregard his own life, would he?"
Xu An sensed something unusual.
Even if the man's target was them, he could have found a safe place, weathered the zombie tide, and then made other plans.
Besides, the only thing worth fighting for on Xu An's side might be that half-bag of food. But if they were chasing so relentlessly for just half a bag of food, it was quite ridiculous.
Zhou Haimei also felt something was not quite right as she watched.
"I also feel something is wrong. This man seems..."
Seeing the pause in the other's speech, Xu An turned to look at Zhou Haimei, asking with her eyes.
"The more I look at this man, the more he seems to be leading the zombies, not escaping. He seems like a lure, don't you think?"
Xu An's expression also became solemn.
"Are you suspecting this person is fishing?"
Zhou Haimei nodded. "Everything is too abnormal. Look."
As she spoke, Zhou Haimei pointed to some of the buildings beside them and said, "If this man was really escaping, he could have rushed past those small buildings he just passed with his explosive power. He would have even had time to block the doors."
Due to the special structure of the Lighthouse, the houses here were not privately owned but shared. Therefore, except for special residences, shops lined up on the streets generally did not have locks.
This man could have easily pushed open any shop, locked the door, and temporarily hidden, then thought of other solutions.
But he didn't. From the moment Xu An spotted him, the man had been running, and his escape route was also problematic.
He wasn't running outwards, but rather seemed to be leading these mindless zombies in circles.
So the question arose: whom was this man luring?
Xu An's expression turned completely cold.
"Then we must not kill him. I want to see what he is trying to achieve by risking his life to this extent."
The man's bullets seemed to have run out, and a look of bewilderment flashed across his face.
Just as Xu An thought the man was doomed,
A gunshot suddenly rang out from behind him.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
Three consecutive shots felled the zombies that were about to pounce on the man.
The entire process did not even take three seconds.
Xu An did not expect that someone would actually come to save this man.
Seizing the opportunity, the man picked up the dagger he had dropped earlier, and with a swift movement, decapitated several zombies.
He then retreated, but not before looking around as if searching for something.
The person who fired the gun never revealed themselves, making Xu An's expression even more grave.
Even Zhou Haimei sensed that something was amiss.
"No, it really is a lure! This man has accomplices? Who was that shooting?"
"Judging by the marksmanship, he's not an ordinary person. But the question is, is this man friend or foe, An'an? Why am I a little panicked right now?"
Xu An tightly held Zhou Haimei's hand. "Regardless of whether this person is friend or foe, or just a passerby, we must be cautious from now on. I have a feeling this matter is not that simple."
Indeed.
Ever since Xu An obtained that antibody vaccine,
The situation had been developing in a strange direction.
And Xu An was no longer simply here to save her mother.
She was also with Yueyue now.
However, Xu An did not know yet that
A huge conspiracy was approaching her.
And the key to everything, unexpectedly, was Yueyue, whom they had been protecting all along.
