Chapter 105: A Nice Place
"Advisor Zhang, there's only a dark area there, and we are in a good position with a light on. We have a more important mission in front of us. I am afraid that it will ruin the whole mission if we act rashly." Jeffrey organized his language to persuade Zhang Jue to give up that childish idea. In his opinion, this kind of counterattack is useless, and he's the careless one. In his opinion, the careless one would fall into the enemy's trap, which was not worth the loss.
Not only him, but the other team members looked at Zhang Jue in a less friendly way, knowing that they would have to risk their lives to carry out some unnecessary actions because of the young advisor's words. But surprisingly, Zhang Jue waved his hand.
"Captain Jeffrey, I think you've misunderstood me. I'm not trying to get your team involved in a risky situation; you just need to wait for me for a few minutes."
"Hmm?" Jeffrey still didn't understand what Zhang Jue was up to.
However, Zhang Jue didn't wait for him to reply and acted first. He just turned back around and pulled out the javelin that was stuck in the ground. Jeffrey's pupils dilated as if he guessed what he wanted but still couldn't believe his eyes.
With all the team members watching, Zhang Jue took a few steps backward, then quickly ran forward, stopped with his feet, and threw the javelin back along the route he had come with his arms firing, just like a professional athlete.
Zhang Jue's speed was so fast that the javelin disappeared from their view with a swing before the team could see his movements. Everyone reflexively looked in the direction of the javelin's flight, but on the other side of the fog, there was no movement at all.
A team member whispered, "Missed?"
Zhang Jue smiled faintly, "Let the javelin fly for a while."
As soon as Zhang Jue said that, a sound could be heard from the distance. Seemingly the sound of something heavy hitting the ground. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
It's a hit? Geoffrey was slightly stunned.
"Uh, never mind." Jeffrey looked at his watch, "Shall we move forward?"
Zhang Jue nodded, then said, "Captain Jeffrey, no need to look at me like that. You're the one who's in charge here."
Captain Jeffrey's mouth twitched involuntarily, perhaps a few minutes ago. After seeing Zhang Jue's "real strength", he unconsciously looked at Zhang Jue. In this world of survival, those who are the strongest are the leader of the group.
The exploration team continued, and they passed under a building and saw the first infected person who was killed by a single shot from Zhang Jue. The javelin had gone straight through his eye sockets, hard and accurate, and Jeffrey had felt a little sick when he saw that the blood coming out of his body was green.
The infected man's arms were very thick, apparently evolved, and these mutated enemies were indeed terrifying. Jeffrey was about to go up and check it out but was stopped by Zhang Jue.
Although these team members had been inoculated with the vaccine that Yang Xue had just developed before they left, who knew if the infected blood of these infected was more transmissible to the virus, it was better to be careful.
After Zhang Jue's purge, the threat posed by the infected was greatly reduced, the speed of the team's expedition was significantly accelerated, and the atmosphere within the team was not as gloomy as when they first entered the town. With such a big brother in charge, even someone like Jeffrey was greatly relieved.
Zhang Jue did not need their protection, and he could even protect them, which was a real surprise. His confidence in completing the mission increased by a few points. Jeffrey looked at Zhang Jue's leisurely back as if he were shopping and thought that what he had heard was true. The top brass of the Foundation were all monsters.
After advancing for another ten minutes, Jeffrey opened his map, double-checked it, and turned to Zhang Jue. "Advisor Zhang, this is it. The area where two previous exploration teams visited, this is where we lost contact with them."
Zhang Jue looked around at the road sign that reads 'Cemetery', and his eyes twitched slightly.
"Heh, it's a really 'nice' place."
