The World Is Ending And I Am Surrounded By Female Zombies

Chapter 273 - 273 Occupying The Village

273 Occupying The Village

“Then… Then I’ll give you five… No, ten!”

Ah Yu quickly betrayed the bugs.

When Liu Shiyao heard this, she was so happy that she almost jumped into the air.

That was all?

It was too easy!

It would have been nigh-impossible to encounter such bugs in the forest, let alone capture them.

Getting ten living specimens was a windfall. It was enough for both the government and herself!

Liu Shiyao took out a few jars from her backpack.

Ah Yu immediately understood what she was doing. She picked up the flute and blew on it. A dozen black bugs left the zombie dog’s body and flew into the jars.

Liu Shiyao closed the lids with satisfaction. It was a generous offering, and she had been spared the trouble of capturing them herself.

Zhang Guozhu was staring at the jar with anticipation.

They had earned this with lollipops. He was almost too embarrassed to ask for it.

Fortunately, Liu Shiyao wasn’t a petty person.

She took out a jar containing three insects and handed it to Zhang Guozhu.

“Let me know if you guys learn anything,” Liu Shiyao said with a smile.

“Thank you, Researcher Liu!

“We’ve finally completed our mission.

“But… Avenging our brothers…”

Zhang Guozhu gritted his teeth.

Those mercenaries had killed eight of his brothers. They owed him their lives!

“Don’t worry, I’ve never been on good terms with those guys. I won’t pass up on the opportunity to deal them another blow.”

Wang Ran patted Zhang Guozhu’s shoulder and consoled him.

However, the forest was so big and there were mountains everywhere. It would be difficult to track down anything.

“Wang Ran, why don’t we send Ah Yu back to her village first?

“She’s a little girl. It’s dangerous for her to go back alone,” Liu Shiyao suggested to him.

Although Ah Yu could control the bugs, guns were still very much dangerous.

“Well, we basically robbed her with a ridiculous trade. We should see her off, at the very least.

“We won’t find those bastards so soon. Let’s escort her to her home.”

Wang Ran nodded.

Wang Ran was actually feeling a little guilty for scamming that girl.

Sending her home would earn him a few more hours of restful sleep.

The group escorted Ah Yu through the depths of the forest…

In a valley deep within the mountains, there was a small village.

Twenty well-armed foreigners were quietly making their way towards the village.

“Captain Lucas, Mike and Anthony have gone silent.

“Could they have been wiped out?”

One of the team members had a grave expression.

“Useless shits. Allowing those weaklings to get the drop on them…

“If they’re dead, let their corpses rot. We’re here for the insect. If we don’t get it done, we’re all dead,” Lucas coldly said.

The others were all shocked.

Lucas was even more ruthless than their previous field team leaders.

He may just summarily execute them on the field if they did not perform up to his expectations.

The group of people soon arrived at the village entrance.

A burly tribesman was walking out with a basket on his back when he ran into this group of people.

“You guys…”

The burly man was shocked.

The group was heavily armed, so it was obvious that they were not here for a vacation.

One of them raised his gun and was about to shoot, but Lucas immediately stopped him.

“Are you an idiot?

“If you shoot, you’ll give away our position!

“Do you want to announce it to everyone?”

Lucas pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed the tribesman under the chin.

The man was dead before he even knew it.

Lucas pulled out the dagger and wiped it on the man’s body.

...

“If the situation doesn’t call for it, don’t get trigger-happy.

“I have a feeling that this village is related to those black bugs.

“For a hierarchical structure as flat as this, go straight for the clan leader or village chief.

“Team One, go to the big wooden house on the left and take a look.

“Team Two, go to that structure resembling an ancestral hall.

“If anyone resists, kill them, and make a show out of it for the others.”

Lucas ordered.

The team split into two groups and quickly sneaked into the village.

Some of the villagers who were wandering around the village were killed mercilessly.

It did not take long before they found the clan leader in the ancestral hall.

The chief was a white-haired old man of the Miao tribe. He was quickly dragged outside the ancestral hall.

...

Lucas met up with them.

At that moment, the villagers had also discovered the invaders. They all picked up their weapons and rushed to the door of the ancestral hall.

Hundreds of people glared at Lucas and his men with bloodshot eyes.

They had set themselves apart from worldly affairs, yet found themselves under attack but such unsavory characters.

“Release the chief!

“You bastards, get out of our village!

“The heavens will smite you down for this!”

The villagers waved the hoes and machetes in their hands.

Lucas glanced at them and laughed in disdain.

“They’re all regular folk.

“Is the air of this place that bad? There isn’t even a single Awakened One in the entire village. Tsk tsk tsk…”

Lucas shook his head.

They would face absolutely zero resistance. This mission was going to be a cinch.

“If anyone approaches, make a fine example out of them,” Lucas said lightly, then turned to the old man, who had been pinned to the ground.

“Let go of our chief!”

A dark-skinned man waved his machete and rushed over.

Lucas did not even spare a glance at him.

If his subordinates fail to stop a regular man, they truly deserved to die.

A large white man walked out and gave the man a heavy punch in the chest.

The man was sent flying by the punch and fell heavily to the ground.

There was a huge hole in his chest, and it had almost gone cleanly through him.

“Gulp…”

A large amount of blood gushed out of the corners of the man’s mouth. His head tilted to the side, and he stopped breathing.

The other villagers’ faces were filled with fear.

This burly man was the strongest warrior of their village, yet he was killed with a single punch…

Those people were dangerous!

The villagers were shocked and scared, not daring to take a step forward.

Lucas walked up to the chief and sat down on a rattan chair.

“I’ll ask, you answer,

“If you don’t answer my questions, I’ll kill a villager every minute. Do you understand?” Lucas asked coldly.

“Are you here for jade or a rare earth mineral vein?

“Just ask me what you want to know, I’ll tell you everything!”

The old chief gritted his teeth and nodded.

Previously, many merchants had come here to ask the villagers for help in searching for mineral veins.

However, most of those people would try to arrange trades. Occasionally, they would threaten them with words.

But these people had started slaughtering his villagers as soon as they came…

“Rocks? I’m not interested in those things.

“I’m more interested in black bugs…”

Lucas went straight to the point.
