At this moment, attracted by the sound, over twenty zombies appeared from the side, running over at a rapid pace.
These dozen or so zombies were completely different from those encountered when the sun was scorching hot.
They were more frenzied, faster, and even the teeth in their mouths seemed sharper.
Li Tie and Zhao Dapao raised their guns, intending to shoot at these zombies, but Li Yu stopped them.
Watching the zombies draw closer, Li Yu looked at the two people on the ground and said, "Still not talking?"
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.
Silence.
Li Yu said nothing more, picking up all the weapons he had just searched from these people's bodies and their car.
He directly walked backward.
The zombies were getting closer, less than 20 meters away from them, especially after smelling the bloody scent from the wounds on the middle-aged man and the other man.
They became even more frenzied.
Seeing that they were about to rush the two people, the middle-aged man stood up directly, wanting to escape, but although he hadn't been knocked unconscious just now, his whole body was still a bit dizzy, so he couldn't run fast.
He staggered as he ran, and before he had run many meters, he was caught by the zombies.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the middle-aged man picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the head of the first zombie that rushed over.
The middle-aged man threw with great force, and the sharp part of the stone directly hit the zombie's temple, knocking the zombie to the ground.
At the same time, several other zombies also rushed up, and the middle-aged man shook his dizzy head, throwing stones at the heads of those zombies.
It must be said that this middle-aged man's combat power was indeed fierce; even after just being hit, his head broken and bleeding profusely, and feeling somewhat dazed, with no weapons in his hands, he was still able to fight against the frenzied zombies.
On the other side, the man clutching his arm was not so lucky, nor did he have such high combat power.
Moreover, his arm had been shot, he was closest to the zombies, and he had no weapons in his hand.
He resisted the two zombies that rushed over, but was soon bitten by a zombie from behind.
Under the temptation of fresh blood, the zombies became even more frenzied, and nearly twenty zombies had completely surrounded the middle-aged man.
Finally, surrounded and without any sharp weapons in his hand, the middle-aged man was accidentally bitten on the arm by a zombie.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes in despair.
Besides the zombies surrounding the middle-aged man, the remaining few zombies also rushed towards Li Yu and his group.
Li Yu saw this scene, completely unmoved, standing still and not leaving.
It wasn't until the middle-aged man was devoured by the zombies that he said to Li Tie beside him, "Let's retreat!"
The three of them ran wildly in the rain, with the few zombies behind them following closely.
Generally, when the sun is scorching hot, zombies move slower, and they are afraid of light, especially strong sunlight.
In the dark, zombies move faster, especially when it rains, which greatly enhances their agility.
In the night rain, the running speed of zombies is comparable to that of an adult man.
Li Yu ran for a while, seeing that the few zombies behind were still following closely, and directly shot them to eliminate them.
However, these zombies have astonishing combat power in this rain; it's best not to take risks unless necessary.
Especially since there were still some zombies behind, and they were still some distance from the base, Li Yu didn't want to waste time fighting these zombies with a knife.
If the number of zombies increased, it would be bad.
The few of them ran wildly, reaching the base wall in less than 10 minutes.
And at the base wall, a few scattered zombies were also wandering, and seeing Li Yu and his group approach, they greedily rushed towards them.
On the wall, his uncle saw them from afar and immediately came down to open the wall gate to receive them.
Li Zhengping and Li Haoran, who were also on the wall, took out their crossbows, aimed, and shot at those few zombies.
Thud! Thud!
After continuous training these days, both of their shooting skills had improved, and at this moment, they accurately hit those two zombies.
The remaining zombie had its head directly cut off by Li Yu's knife.
The three entered Weng City and stayed there for about 10 minutes.
This was a rule Li Yu had set with everyone back then: no matter who it was, anyone returning from outside had to stay in Weng City for ten minutes, and Li Yu was no exception.
During these ten minutes in Weng City, Li Tie and Zhao Dapao also recounted to Li Yu the information they had obtained from interrogating the man earlier.
It turned out that the middle-aged man was a retired scout.
He wasn't with Brother Hao and his group, but his younger brother had joined them.
Later, when Li Yu and his group went to kill Brother Hao's people, they also killed his younger brother.
Some of the people who escaped from the driving school at that time later met this middle-aged man, and after learning that his younger brother had been killed, he had always wanted revenge.
So, he temporarily formed a group with the remaining ten or so people from Brother Hao's group, intending to seek revenge on Li Yu.
However, they could never find out where Li Yu and his group were, only secretly observing and tailing them from the shadows during Li Yu's recent entries into the county town.
Li Yu had always been quite cautious, often handling road traces on his way back, so this middle-aged man never found an opportunity.
It wasn't until later that he finally saw Li Yu and his group, but seeing that they had firearms and were fully equipped, he never found an opportunity for revenge.
He kept planning until today, when it rained and Li Yu and his group went to the Gas Station to refuel, he orchestrated that zombie attack.
Originally, they had planned to release zombies when Li Yu and his group got out of the car, but unexpectedly, Zhen Fu and others arrived later, along with the Salvation Army, who lured away some of the zombies they had originally attracted.
The Salvation Army also indirectly helped Li Yu and his group.
Otherwise, under their meticulous design, even with firearms, escaping from numerous zombies would certainly consume a lot of bullets, and getting out unscathed would also be quite difficult.
The opportunity these people had waited so hard for was thus shattered, and of course, they were unwilling.
So they decided to continue following, being very cautious, not immediately following directly behind, but instead, in the middle of the night, risking the danger of zombies, they drove along, observing road traces, and barely managed to find Li Yu's location.
However, all their plans have now been ruined with the death of the middle-aged man.
Hearing this, Li Yu felt a bit fortunate.
If he had gone straight back just now, he probably would have encountered all sorts of troubles again.
He secretly warned himself to be more careful in the future.
The base was getting more and more people, and with the increasing number of times Li Yu and his group went out, the base's location might become easily exposed later on.
Li Yu felt a bit anxious, but there was no way to solve this problem; he couldn't stay inside forever, nor could he make it impossible for others to find their location.
The only solution was to strengthen the base's power!
According to the man's answers during Da Pao's interrogation, besides the four people who came today, there were still 12 people near the Gas Station.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Li Yu's eyes.
They chose the path of death instead of the path of life.
