Chapter 532: Memory Fragment Intelligence

Jian Qi wanted to roll away, but he was stuck

The dismissive tone of the others only added to his frustration, and he cursed inwardly: Damn it! Who are these people?! fr(e)ewebn(o)vel

Jian Qi didnt move, and neither did they pay him any attention.

The seven or eight people formed a semicircle, trapping the female zombie in the middle.

The first iron chain that was thrown out had accurately wrapped around the female zombies waist, and simultaneously, a vial of potion had been shot onto her.

Are these not bullets? Could it be some kind of sedative?!

Jian Qi was dumbfounded. Instead of taking advantage of the momentarily restrained female zombie by finishing her off, they were shooting her with potions!

Of course, he wasnt sure if it was a sedative, but whatever it was, it seemed to have a similar effect.

Boom!

The female zombie strained and snapped the iron chain, then tore off the vial of potion and threw it to the ground, crushing it underfoot.

Such dominance! Truly worthy of being a high-level zombie!

Wait, nows not the time to be watching! The more dominant she is, the quicker these people will die!

Even though the potion had entered her body, it clearly hadnt had any effect yet.

You had your chance and you blew it, this is pure suicide!

By now, Jian Qi had realized that these people were specifically targeting this female zombie, and judging by their determination they were trying to capture her alive?!

Typically, a survivor wouldnt dare to confront a high-level zombie; upon sighting one, they would quietly sneak away or take a detour. If an encounter was unavoidable, they were ready to fight for their lives. But these people, they actually wanted to capture her alive!

Indeed, after the Disaster Outbreak, there were all sorts of people, and the world had gone mad!

Although Jian Qi was greatly exhausted, under these circumstances, he still struggled to move backward. With this group as a buffer, he might have a chance to escape

Clang!

Another iron chain flew out, but the female zombie, sprinting, deftly dodged by sidestepping.

However, this missed chain was then struck by another in mid-air.

Clang!

After another crisp sound, the chain took a turn and caught up with the female zombie from behind, wrapping around her again.

This momentary pause gave the group their opportunity. The sounds of clang, clang, clang were incessant, followed by one after another, the sedatives being fired rapidly.

Despite various close calls, the group managed to firmly trap the female zombie in the middle.

But the female zombie was indeed ferocious; one of the men was a bit slow, and she dragged him over by the chain, then grabbed his arm.

Shhhh!

With a savage tear, he immediately let out a piercing scream.

However, before the female zombie could grab his head, another iron chain flew over and yanked him away.

Witnessing this, Jian Qi felt a chill run down his spine.

He was thankful that he had run fast enough earlier. Otherwise, if he had been caught by this witch who tore people apart, he would have been dismembered by now.

Ah!!!

The female zombie suddenly let out a piercing shriek, her movements becoming erratic and shaky.

The tranquilizer, potent enough to take down n elephants, was finally taking effect on the female zombie.

Her actions started to slow, as layers of iron chains wrapped tightly around her body, significantly diminishing her struggle.

Bang!

Minutes later, the female zombie hit the ground hard, her body twitching slightly. The group of people didnt rush in immediately but instead stood by, watching quietly.

Everyone knew that zombies, much like poisonous snakes, could still deliver a deadly bite even if its just their head left. Despite her reduced energy to mere twitching, anyone daring to get close would likely be torn to shreds within moments.

Only when the female zombie had stopped moving entirely did the group swarm in. They deftly stuffed her into a sack and then bound her with steel ropes relentlessly.

The man whose arm had been torn off was taken aside, his wound swiftly attended to.

He was lucky, having not been bitten elsewhere by the female zombie, so there was no risk of infection.

Yet seeing his pale face, the way he clenched his teeth through the pain, and his near fainting spells, compared to the others practiced moves and indifferent expressions, Jian Qi felt a surge of alarm.

What on earth was this group doing?

The flawless cooperation they had just displayed could only be the result of hundreds, if not thousands, of rehearsals. It couldnt have been so perfect in a real fight otherwise.

Indeed, even a single mistake would have seemed perfect in Jian Qis eyes. Capturing a high-level female zombie and only losing an arm in the process was incredibly badass!

So shocked was he that Jian Qi didnt realize he had forgotten to run away until after the group had finished their task.

They noticed him too, and one of the men, frowning, walked over. Jian Qi gave him a nervous glance, vaguely remembering this was the man who had told him to scram.

Psychic? the man sized him up and asked.

Yes

Jian Qi swallowed nervouslya habitual action that made Ling Mo, the first-person perspective character, feel helpless. He really didnt know how this guy later managed to kick the habit.

Not only Jian Qi was shaken, but Ling Mo was also quite taken aback.

This groups strength was actually not much different from Jian Qis at that time. If there had been an overwhelming power difference, injuries wouldnt have occurred.

What was truly frightening was their teamwork and their quick response to a crisis. A sudden injury to a comrade didnt affect their operation in the slightest. Except for one who immediately freed his hands to provide aid, everyone elses focus remained on the female zombie. Without repeated drills and practical training, such coordination would have been impossible.

Had the others been distracted by their companions injury, the outcome would undoubtedly have been very different.

What kind of psychic power? the man asked again.

Asking about someones psychic abilities so bluntly was quite impolite, even hostile.

Jian Qi was taken aback at first, but under the mans icy gaze, he blurted out, Enhancement type

Enough, the man said, cutting Jian Qi off mid-sentence without much interest in the details.

This left Jian Qi cursing silently, Damn it! Does he have to be so arrogant?!

But the problem was that the man really was that arrogant, and Jian Qi had just witnessed him capturing zombies alive. He didnt dare to show even the slightest dissatisfaction.

You guys are Jian Qi also realized that this group was probably extraordinary. Of course, that was obviouswho else would be out catching zombies for fun?

The man looked like the leader of the group, and Jian Qi was both probing and trying to ingratiate himself.

Could he possibly join such a badass group?

Most importantly, he was curious. What did they want with the captured zombies?

The man glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and then asked directly, Do you know what we do?

Jian Qi shook his head. How could he know, having just met them?

Ling Mo perked up, sensing some crucial information was about to be revealed after watching for so long

Do you want to join? the man asked.

Uh Jian Qi didnt answer directly. He still didnt know what this group was up to.

After a moment of thought, the man waved his hand, Come with us.

Jian Qi hesitated, then agreed.

He was an opportunist. After seeing his own group wiped out by a female zombie, and himself chased like a dead dog, but these people could capture them alivehe was in awe.

Besides, in these chaotic times, if he felt it wasnt a good fit, he could always sneak away.

So he followed the group to a factory in the suburbs of City F. To his surprise, it didnt seem like their main base, but more like a transit point.

There were loud thumps from cages covered with black cloth, and tubes running from inside them filled with plasma.

Drawing blood? Ling Mo immediately guessed what was inside the cages. To be able to contain such creatures, this group was indeed capable.

Then, on a truck, Ling Mo saw a familiar face.

A tall man with a scarred face

The man jumped down from the truck and walked over to the one who had brought back Jian Qi. After a brief conversation, Scarface approached Jian Qi.

Two rules, the tall, scarred man said. First, even if you join now, youre still the lowest-level member. Second, once you decide to join, someday youll receive benefits beyond your imagination.

After finishing, Scarface folded his arms and watched Jian Qi coldly.

Jian Qi was silent for a moment, then asked, What kind of benefits?

Upon asking, Scarfaces face broke into a slight smile.

In that moment, Ling Mo suddenly felt as if Scarfaces expression was like watching prey walk into a trap, an unsettling feeling.

But at that point, even he felt his mouth water.

What kind of benefits? Could it be related to the Origin of the virus?

To make you stronger isnt a short-term project; its about slowly becoming a true powerhouse among humans. Youve seen the gap between humans and zombiesdont you want to bridge that divide? Think long-term. Everything else is fleeting; only strength truly matters, Scarface said directly.

Jian Qi was taken aback for a moment, then felt a longing stir within

After a brief pause, Ling Mo cursed angrily, Damn it! I was all mentally prepped up and you hit me with this?!

But then again, it made sense. The guy hadnt officially joined yet. What kind of secrets could he expect to hear?

So, what do I need to do? Jian Qi wasnt stupid. As he spoke, he glanced at the others, making it clear he had no interest in capturing zombies.

Well discuss the specifics, but remember, once you join, you must never betray the organization under any circumstances Of course, you wont have the chance to betray us

Scarface said this with confidence, a playful glint in his eye.

Obviously, he was referring to the Zero.

However, when he said this, he had no idea that in a few months, not only would Ling Mo destroy the so-confident Zero anti-betrayal device, but he would also spectacularly turn the tables on them
