"What’s going on today? Why are there no guards? Are they all that busy?"
A man’s moderately-paced complaining voice sounded from outside. His footsteps quickened as he approached the area.
From the sounds of it, there seed to only be one outsider.
The three individuals behind the door tensed their muscles, crouched down like leopards ready for the hunt!
The man outside apparently didn’t notice anything strange and imdiately opened the door, continuing to grumble under his breath.
"Dammit! It’s just soone from the United District, acting high and mighty! F*ck, Li Songhua you’re such a coward!"
"Jinhai, Jinhai! F*ck! It’s all your fault!"
"Bastards!"

As the man reached out and pressed down on the doorknob, his complaints abruptly halted as his expression flipped from anger to horror!
The mont he opened the door, he felt sothing cold pressed against his neck. Years of experience surviving in this post-apocalyptic world told him that this was the chilling sensation of a blade!
Who would have known that he would be t with such a surprise right from the start!
The room’s lights were turned on brightly, and from behind the door, three soldiers in uniform erged, one of whom was a middle-aged man who was brandishing a blade against his neck.
"He’s a civilian," said Zhang Ding.
Dai Changhao scrutinized the man who had just entered. His eyes lit up as he noticed that the man was dressed not in a military uniform but a white protective suit. The badge pinned on his chest indicated that this man was a scientific researcher at Qinshan Base.
As a scientific researcher, he should know the location of the item they were looking for!
Once they realized he was an ordinary civilian, the three of them hesitated slightly. After ensuring no one was outside, they closed the door. Dai Changhao moved the sofa forward and sat down comfortably.
The researcher looked horrified, he tried a few tis to brush off the blade from his neck that emitted this chilling aura, but Zhang Ding slapped his hands away each ti.
"You... you aren’t from here..."
The researcher, sounding shaken, asked. It had just occurred to him that sothing was off about these three.
"Correct, we ca to find sothing. As long as you tell us, we can let you go."
"What are you looking for?"
The man promptly asked without any hesitation.
"You should know about the incident that happened yesterday. We ca here to find that ’super cannon’ capable of defeating a Level 6 zombie."
"Super cannon?"
The man looked puzzled for a mont. After considering it for so ti, he finally said, "You’re probably looking for the Dragon Slayer Sword, not so super cannon..."
"Who cares what the hell it is, the Dragon Slayer Sword... You even know its na, don’t you? So, you should know where Li Songhua hid it."
Dai Changhao asked. However, upon saying this, the man threatened by Zhang Ding suddenly beca anxious and pleaded, "Gentlen, although I am part of the research team, I am only a D-tier staff mber. I don’t know where the Dragon Slayer Sword is hidden. I... I don’t know how to answer..."
"Don’t know? So you’re of no use? Okay! Then you can go to hell!"
A murderous aura emanated from Dai Changhao. His weapon, the Canghe-P90, was aid at the man’s head.
Startled, the man cowered, pleading quickly, "No, no, no, even though I don’t know where the Dragon Slayer Sword is, I was present yesterday. It seed to be fired from the Floating Flower Park. It was rumored that the park used to be Chen Huaijiang’s storage place and there was a shelter with a basent in it. It should be hidden there. Please don’t kill , I’ve told you everything I know."
"Floating Flower Park?"
Dai Changhao stood up abruptly, commanding, "Let’s go!" He then took the lead, opened the door and headed out.
Before the researcher could even fully exhale, he heard Zhang Ding’s sinister voice.
"Want to live? You might go and snitch. However, we are n of our word. So, why don’t you die for a bit."
Bang!
Without warning, the man’s speech was cut off as Zhang Ding struck him on the back of the head with his elbow, causing him to lose consciousness on the spot.
The three n moved swiftly, leaving Li’s Mansion and traversing several blocks to arrive at Floating Flower Park. But when they got there, they realized that the original park had been torn down. In its place, seven to eight-story residential buildings had been erected. There was quite a bustle of activity, with people coming and going from a few of the buildings.
"This place... has been turned into barracks for the soldiers by Li Songhua." Little Wu frowned.
"Wait, look closely. Those people don’t seem to be Qinshan Base’s soldiers."
Dai Changhao noticed sothing off. As a Level 4 New Human, his eyesight was excellent, allowing him to clearly see that sothing was off about the people in the brightly lit barracks.
There was a constant flow of individuals on the third floor. Groups of people, carrying washbasins, walked down the hallway, laughing and joking. They seed to be freshening up before bed, but it was only around eight o’clock. Soldiers at Qinshan Base usually slept at around eleven, so those who returned to their dormitories to freshen up by eight were unprecedented.
"Their uniforms..."
After Dai Changhao’s reminder, Little Wu and Zhang Ding noticed that although the upper garnts worn by the people in the dormitory were military uniforms, the dye was slightly lighter than that of Qinshan Base’s military uniforms. Moreover, the patterns embroidered on their chests were distinctly different from those at Qinshan Base!
"Great, these people might be reinforcents coming from Jinhai to assist Li Songhua."
"So, how are we supposed to search now?" Little Wu beca a bit irritable.
Just then, a voice, carrying an undeniable tone, rang out in the darkness.
"Hey, you three from Qinshan, co here."
Dai Changhao turned to look, noticing a few flickering red lights in the darkness. They were the glowing ends of lit cigarettes.
"There are people over there."
"Didn’t you hear? Are you looking for trouble?"
The few n squatting in the darkness and stealthily smoking seed slightly annoyed when they saw that Dai Changhao and his group didn’t respond.
The three n didn’t move, they just quietly observed the n in the dark.
"Ah, a few audacious old fuckers, are you defying us?"
The three continued to remain indifferent, which infuriated the smokers in the dark. They spouted so dialect, instantly rising to their feet and striding towards Dai Changhao and his group.
"Are you fucking deaf? Can’t understand people’s language?"
"What are they saying?" Little Wu scratched his head and gave a confused look. The n spoke too fast and in dialect, making it hard to understand. In China, people from neighboring counties could have difficulty understanding each other’s dialects, let alone from a different province?
"Damn it, they seem to be saying we are deaf and can’t understand them!" Zhang Ding got the general idea, and a murdurous glint flashed in his eyes.
"Don’t jump the gun, let’s ask what they want first," Dai Changhao placated Zhang Ding, then politely asked the n approaching them.
"Excuse , what do you need us for?"
