26 Showed No Mercy

However, the suicide squad had no right to ask questions. In the night, they could only walked forward step by step and look at the shops that had been destroyed.

"Wait, there's someone!"

King Kong shouted through the communication device. The suicide squad members who were advancing forward stopped. Under the moonlight, they saw a few people staggering in front of them. They put on their night vision goggles. King Kong raised the sniper rifle in his hand, he shouted at the person staggering in front of him,

"What's wrong? Are you injured?"

The person walking toward him ignored King Kong. He dragged a seemingly weak leg and let out a series of laborious "ho ho" sounds. A teammate beside Ye Yu turned his head and said,

"They look like normal civilians. I don't see any weapons on them."

"Should we kill them?"

King Kong turned his head and looked at Ye Yu. Ye Yu shook his head. How would he know what to do in this situation? The order from the higher-ups was to kill without mercy, but they did not say that a normal civilian with no ability to resist was also within the scope of being killed without mercy.

"Ask for instructions?"

King Kong asked again. Ye Yu nodded. King Kong then held the communication device in his ear. Before he could speak, the streets and alleys were filled with injured people who were staggering over. The suicide squad members were stunned and turned to look at each other. Ye Yu asked curiously,

"Why does it feel like we're in a movie about the end of the world?? F*ck, they're not human, they're zombies!!!"

Before Ye Yu could finish his sentence, a zombie pounced on a suicide squad member closest to it. As the suicide squad member screamed in pain, Ye Yu reacted quickly. He raised the gun in his hand and fired a series of shots. King Kong, the scholar, and the fortune teller all reacted in succession, immediately, they stood back to back and started firing at the zombies that were surrounding them from all directions. Then, Ye Yu continued to shoot the zombies while he retreated slowly. He closed in on them as the four of them formed a defensive perimeter.

"F*ck, there are too many of them. Open a path to the east and enter one of the buildings!"

Pointing at the area with the least number of zombies, Ye Yu started shooting crazily toward that direction. However, those zombies were not afraid of bullets at all. Other than hindering their movements, they did not feel anything and continued to move forward. Soon, Ye Yu was surrounded by zombies.

He raised his foot and kicked down a zombie that was pouncing at him. He swung the gun in his hand to open a path. Then, Ye Yu realized that using brute force against these zombies was sometimes more effective than shooting. The zombies would fall to the ground when they were kicked, and the speed at which they got up was even slower than walking. It was as if their bodies were extremely stiff, and the bones and joints were also very inflexible.

Soon, with the help of his teammates, Ye Yu managed to open a path. He kicked open the door of a nearby building with one foot, shielding his teammates behind him as they entered the building one by one.

Then, he quickly closed the door and found a heavy object to block the entrance. No matter how many zombies gathered outside, the suicide squad members sat in the building and fell into a dead silence.

King Kong squatted on the ground and kept calling their commander. However, no one answered him. After calling for countless times, King Kong raised his head with a rare look of fear in his eyes. He looked at Ye Yu and gave him a smile that was uglier than crying as he scolded,

"No wonder they gave us so much money this time. They threw us in, and they never let us out again."

Their country, their nation, and their righteousness belief had long been carved into their bones. When facing with challenging situations, no one would be stingy with their lives. However, this time, they felt wronged for the first time.

When they arrived there, no one told them what they were going to do, who they were going to kill, or what kind of monster they were going to kill. Maybe the leaders of De City deliberately chose to hide the truth. They wanted them to risk their lives to kill these zombies, but they did not want to expose the truth, or it could be that the people above them were afraid that the infection would spread or something. In any case, based on the situation, even their commander had cut off contact with them, so they were obviously abandoned here.

Ye Yu's face was ashen, and everyone's expression looked terrible. Their hearts felt heavy and angry. Suddenly, the member of the suicide squad who had been bitten by the zombies lay on the ground and started twitching all over. A few teammates closest to him immediately stepped forward and pressed him to the ground. Ye Yu raised his gun and looked at his comrade as grief welling up within him.

Everyone realized a serious possibility. How did those zombies and monsters appeared there? Why was the CDC of De City unable to control their situation in just a few days? Why did they have to sacrifice people like them to make up for it? The barbed wire fence was so high and it was electrified. Just because they were dropped in from the sky, and they could see there was another fence outside the barbed wire fence!

All these things told them that there was indeed a possibility of infection. Moreover, their comrade who had been bitten by a zombie might have been infected too.

Some people could not help but hold their guns and wipe their tears. They were strong men, and they did not fear anything. However, at this moment, they were facing their brother who used to eat, sleep, and risk their lives together. Hence, what should they do? They knew that perhaps they should kill him, but no one was willing to be the one to shoot him.

They did not dare to shoot him, so Ye Yu stepped forward. Seeing his brother who was twitching and struggling on the ground had quieted down, he squatted down and pressed his finger on the man's neck artery. Then, he said coldly,

"His pulse is still beating. Tie him up first, then... we have to think of a way to go out and find some food. We can't starve to death in here."

The instruction given to them was only three words: kill without mercy! At first, Ye Yu did not understand what did it mean, but now he did. They needed to be merciless as they needed to kill all of the zombies,. They would kill until the last zombie died, and then they would be killed. This was the smallest sacrifice in exchange for the greatest benefits.

These benefits might include social stability, or it might include the righteousness of certain human races and countries. However, it definitely also included the personal interests of certain people. Just as they had always guessed, some people in De City did not want things to get out of hand. Hence, they tried to cover up everything that had happened in De City.

Ye Yu and the others were just a small group of people who had been sacrificed, so before the last zombie was killed, they could not starve themselves to death. It did not matter even if they starved to death because other special forces would be tricked into here as well.
