Then let the witch offer her loyalty

Now that Zhou Si's wife is dead, the death quota is full. If any more people are lost, the resonance mission will fail immediately. There is no room for error, and no further incidents can be tolerated.

Alexander and the others understood this as well, and they all raised their vigilance to the highest level.

Chen Moxin turned and rushed into the rain, reaching a high point in the factory.

At this moment, the wind and rain howled, and on the empty plain, the torrential rain wove a blurry curtain between heaven and earth. Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, the distant outlines flickered in and out of focus.

On the open field, the wild grass was bent low by the wind, and the withered tree shadows swayed like twisted skeletons reaching towards the sky in the lightning.

As empty as before, apart from the scenery of the wasteland, no trace of the Dead Apostles' sneak attack was observed.

Seeing this, Chen Moxin left the high ground and moved quickly along the perimeter of the factory, constantly scanning the surroundings to find the source of the dead.

As he circled around to the back of the factory, his attention was drawn to an unusual muddy color. It was a large patch of soil that had been turned over, its moisture and color completely different from the surrounding ground, clearly indicating that it had been recently unearthed.

He ran behind the wall and discovered a huge black hole in the mud, about two meters in diameter. The hole was irregularly round, and the mud was covered with scratch marks, deep and messy.

Just as Chen Moxin was observing the cave entrance, a rustling sound came from inside. Then, a member of the Death Squad crawled out, supporting himself on the muddy ground with his hands, his face full of a bloodlust.

Chen Moxin stabbed the assassin in the eye socket with a backhand, killing him instantly, and then kicked the body back into the cave.

A cacophony of curses could be faintly heard from inside the cave, indicating that many of the Dead were still inside, trying to squeeze out and crawl out.

At this moment, Chen Moxin understood.

Judging from the structure of the hole, it is definitely not a naturally formed pit, but rather one that was carved out by humans.

The Dead Apostles must have already identified the survivors in the factory and knew that someone was guarding the high ground. Approaching through normal means would only alert them.

So they came up with a plan: to dig tunnels from underground, in places where they couldn't be observed from a high vantage point.

Without the help of heavy equipment, ordinary people certainly cannot dig a hole by hand. But these Dead Apostles are different. Their bodies, corrupted by madness, are incredibly strong. They can dig through the earth with just simple tools or even by hand.

No wonder Alexander and his men, who were on guard at the high point, couldn't find it; the cave entrance was inside the factory, completely hidden from view.

When they are on duty, they mainly observe the activity in the fields and rarely focus their attention on the inner areas.

Adding to the problem, the weather was terrible tonight, with torrential rain drowning out all sounds. The friction and collapse sounds from digging were completely swallowed up by the noise of raindrops hitting the ground.

The Dead Men dug their way through the earth, crawling out and sneaking into the factory.

It wasn't until the assassins approached the bus, killed a survivor, and caused a riot that the people realized something was wrong.
