Wild Wolf Gang...

Gao Tianlang!

Tang Long raised an eyebrow slightly.

The people who killed the police officer in the clothing store and attempted to assault Su Yan were thugs from the Wild Wolf Gang!

Wang Hu had previously said that he wanted to take revenge on the other side, but unfortunately he hadn't been able to find anyone.

Unexpectedly...

This group of people slipped away to the southern part of the city.

A hint of killing intent flashed in Tang Long's eyes, but he quickly suppressed the impulse.

The city they lived in was called Dongyun City, a county-level city with a permanent population of just over one million before the apocalypse.

The city is divided into four major urban areas: east, south, west, and north. The area where these four urban areas meet is called the central urban area, which is the city center.

Before the apocalypse, it would be fine; you could take a taxi and get there in 30 minutes at most.

But now, getting over there is going to be a bit troublesome.

He looked out the door, as if he could see a man lying on an operating room bed.

He muttered in a low voice, "Wang Hu, if you want revenge, you'd better wake up first."

"otherwise..."

"This grudge! Only I can avenge you."

He let out a sigh of relief, his gaze shifting to the very top of the wanted poster.

There was only one line of text there, written in long, bold letters.

[Wanted Target: The Queen]

[Danger Level: S]

[Criminal Summary: A super-infected entity that personally caused the extinction or transformation of over 100,000 humans into zombies in the central district of Dongyun City. Its very existence is the ultimate threat to civilized order.]

[Latest information: Located in the central district, currently dormant.]

[Mission Objective: Defeat the "Queen".]

[Mission Reward: 10 Order Points.]

Tang Long's eyes narrowed slightly, and he caught his breath.

"Did you personally cause the extinction of 100,000 people?"

In an instant, all the joy and ease brought by upgrading the base were filled with an overwhelming sense of urgency and pressure.

Last time, we risked the lives of the entire team and used all our trump cards to take down the Butcher and Cocoon duo, and we only gained a total of 5,000 Order Points.

And this "Queen" receives a reward that is twenty times greater!

It's easy to imagine how terrifying this thing must be.

This is something their small group simply cannot resist.

"Damn it!" Tang Long cursed under his breath, "System! Can you block the information about the Queen on the wanted poster?"

[Ding~ Queen's message has been blocked]

Tang Long breathed a slight sigh of relief as he watched the wanted poster for "Queen" disappear from the screen in the police reception hall.

If others saw this, the confidence we'd worked so hard to build would probably be completely shattered.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the "Queen" was still asleep, it would be impossible to tell.

Tang Long himself was starting to consider running away.

He shook his head, suppressing his unease, and headed upstairs.

According to the base map in my mind, the newly unlocked [Equipment Area] is on the second floor.

"call!"

Taking a deep breath, Tang Long took a step forward.

Nourishing~

The door was slowly pushed open.

The interior space isn't very large, only about 20 square meters. There are rows of weapon cabinets on both sides of the wall.

Tang Long stepped forward, and a list of weapons for exchange appeared on the cabinet door.

Ignoring the familiar weapons, we should focus our attention on the newly emerging equipment.

Type 95 Automatic Rifle: 100 Order Points

[Type 95 Automatic Rifle Magazine (30 rounds): 5 Order Points]

Type 88 Sniper Rifle: 150 Order Points

[Type 88 Sniper Rifle Magazine (10 rounds): 5 Order Points]

[8x Optical Scope: 20 Order Points]

[Police drones (reconnaissance and strike drones): 500 security checkpoints]

[Bulletproof Vest (Level 2): ​​100 Order Points]

Type 82-2 Hand Grenade: 20 Order Points

Tang Long glanced at his current Order Points.

[Current remaining Order Points: 3012]

Upgrading the base cost 3000 points, and some were also spent on exchanging for Su Yan's pills and Wang Hu's emergency supplies.

"That's enough!" Tang Long muttered to himself without the slightest hesitation.

"System, redeem one Type 88 sniper rifle, one magazine, and one 8x scope."

[Confirm redemption? This will consume 175 Order Points.]

"confirm."

Click~

The cabinet door opened.

A sleek, all-black sniper rifle lay quietly on the surface, next to a magazine full of bullets and a separate scope.

Tang Long picked up the sniper rifle.

Mount the scope on the rail and lock it in place. Then pick up a magazine and, with a "click," insert it into the gun.

He then pulled the bolt and chambered a bullet.

The cold metallic texture and heavy weight gave him an unparalleled sense of security.

With this, he wouldn't be forced to passively take hits when facing monsters like the "Butcher".

Even the thought of the "Queen" on the wanted poster, who lives far away in the central district...

A new sense of confidence appeared in Tang Long's eyes.

......

Late at night.

The entire police station fell silent, with only the low hum of the equipment running.

Tang Long came down from the second floor of the dormitory and stood in the courtyard.

He looked up at the sky.

It was pitch black, like a heavy curtain, making it hard to breathe.

There were no stars, no moon, only endless darkness and thick fog.

Come to think of it, this was the first time he had stood outside the room after dark since the apocalypse.

Staying indoors after dark is an ironclad rule ingrained in the bones of all survivors.

Even though the entire base was surrounded by a wall more than three meters high, he still felt inexplicably uneasy.

It was as if countless eyes were peering at this unique, isolated island from the darkness.

A cold wind blew by, and he subconsciously tightened his clothes and walked towards the emergency room next door.

In the corridor, Chen Ming, Liu Qiang, and even the injured Luo Yongchao were present.

He sat against the wall on a bench, his injured leg stretched out straight, immobilized with splints and bandages.

Chen Ming paced back and forth anxiously, his glasses reflecting the pale light of the corridor.

Liu Qiang stood motionless against the operating room door, like a statue, his eyes fixed on the red light.

"Why are you here too? Shouldn't you rest a bit more? How's your injury?" Tang Long walked up to Luo Yongchao and asked with a frown.

Luo Yongchao raised his head, gave a carefree smile, and waved his hand: "Don't worry, it won't break off yet."

He pointed to his leg, which was in a cast.

"It's just that I probably won't be able to go on missions with you during this period."

At this time.

Chen Ming leaned closer, his voice filled with concern: "Captain Tang, is Dr. Su feeling better?"

Tang Long shook his head, his voice somewhat muffled: "Still hasn't woken up."

Everyone fell silent.

Immediately, everyone's attention returned to the closed operating room door.

More than six hours have passed since Wang Hu was wheeled in.

It was completely dark, but there was still no sound from inside.

A sense of unease quietly spread through everyone's hearts.

Especially Liu Qiang, whose head was down and no one could see his expression, but his clenched fists, which were white with pain, revealed his inner pain and self-blame.

Just then.

Click.

The red light in the operating room went out.
