“What! Are you crazy?” The others looked at her with surprise.

“You guys stay here. I’ll get down first. If I go through safely, you come down!” Duan Juan made her mind and said determinedly. Meanwhile, she handed the telescope to a man near her.

“No! It’s too dangerous! You can’t go alone! We do it together!”

“Yeah! Juan, we’re all men and you’re a woman! How can we let you risk your life? You stay here! We’ll go!”

“Yeah, we’ll go! You stay here!”

The others strongly disagreed.

Women were rare in the post-apocalyptic era, so they all had the responsibility of protecting women. How could they possibly let Duan Juan do something so dangerous alone?

“I’m going, and none of you can stop me!” Duan Juan said with a strong tone, after which, she turned and walked straight to the stairs. The others glanced at the others, then sighed helplessly and hurriedly followed behind her.

Soon, they walked out of the isolation area. All the sentries on the fence wall had been disabled, so they didn’t need to worry that the people from the base might spot them.

But still, Duan Juan wasn’t silly enough to walk in the middle of the road. She and her people sneaked toward the base through the shaded areas. They stopped about three meters away from the zombie crowd, then quietly stared at those zombies.

Duan Juan had always been a cautious person. And soon, she found something strange.

“You see, it seems that these zombies can’t see us!” Duan Juan said with surprise.

Even if those zombies couldn’t see them from this short distance, they should certainly be able to smell them. However, those zombies made no response to them even though they were just two or three meters away.

The others were surprised to find that Duan Juan was right.

“You’re right! Can’t they smell us?” A man who was holding his gun and preparing to fire said with confusion.

“Is what that woman said real?” Duan Juan blinked and said expectantly.

“Let’s give it a try and find out,” said someone behind her.

Duan Juan nodded, then began moving toward those zombies very carefully.

They were on one side of the base entrance, and not in front of it. This area used to have many buildings. Those buildings were torn down when the isolation area was created, but still, some large rocks and broken walls and other ruins were left there.

On the ground, one would find many obstacles in this area; but from the top of the fence wall, every corner in this area could be seen clearly. That was why Lin Qiao disabled all the sentries on the wall top and opened the gate for Duan Juan and her people.

“Don’t shoot! Just go over there carefully!”

Under great pressure, Duan Juan and her people moved closer and closer to those zombies. Two and a half meters… Two meters… One and a half meter…

They were so close to those zombies, yet those zombies didn’t seem to feel their existence at all! They couldn’t even believe it!

Duan Juan and her people popped their eyes as they inched their way to the least crowded part of the zombie crowd, feeling both shocked and confused.

Soon, something that surprised them happened.

When they were about a meter away from those zombies, those zombies suddenly moved. Duan Juan and her people took fright and prepared to fire their guns, but they all paused suddenly.

That was because those zombies didn’t pounce on them, but started to move backward.

“They… they’re drawing back!” said a man beside Duan Juan. He looked surprised as if he just saw a ghost.

Duan Juan had noticed that too as she silently took two more steps forward. As she thought, the zombies before her moved further backward.

“They’re really drawing back!” The people behind her didn’t understand why.

“Move! Don’t speak!” Duan Juan made two more steps and found those zombies stepping further backward. Thus, she immediately turned back and told her people to move quickly.

Then, the group of human beings slowly moved across the zombie group. Once they approached, the zombies automatically made a path for them. They went through the zombie group with a confused look. Some of them even felt like they were in a dream.

They had no idea that earlier on, Lin Qiao had given a little bit of her scent to each of them when she paced around them. For that reason, those zombies couldn’t sense their scents; instead, what they had sensed was Lin Qiao’s scent.

Lin Qiao’s scent was faint but not strong. Therefore, those zombies only responded when Duan Juan and her people were less than one meter away.

Lin Qiao’s scent wouldn’t linger on the bodies of Duan Juan and her people for a long time. Duan Juan made the decision quickly and grasped the opportunity. If she and her people hesitated for a longer time, Lin Qiao’s scent might fade away. When that happened, it wouldn’t be so easy for them to go through the zombie crowd.

After going through the zombie crowd, Duan Juan and her people ran toward the entrance. They felt like they were in a dream. If those soldiers didn’t fire at them from the base, they might still not wake up.

“Stay alert!” Duan Juan shouted loudly, and her voice woke her people up from the shock. However, when they finally entered the base, they saw a large number of soldiers lying on the ground.

Those soldiers were injured, but wouldn’t die anytime soon. The line of defense had been broken completely anyway.

As Duan Juan and her people entered the base, Lin Qiao showed up beside them. “Stop looking around. Go up there and save those people hanging on the wall first!”

Duan Juan and her people turned to find Lin Qiao in the guardhouse. A young girl with twin tails was standing by her side.

At that moment, the girl in a white dress was standing with her back toward them. Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, she turned around to look at those people.

Seeing Qiu Lili’s face, Duan Juan and her people all took a step backward with fear, then instinctively pointed their guns at her.

“Wait a minute! If I were you, I wouldn’t point my gun at her,” Lin Qiao hurriedly stopped them.

“Em, don’t forget how you got in!” Qiu Lili was a little unhappy about those people pointing guns at her, but she only said a few words scornfully before turning her head around and leaping away.

She knew that it was Lin Qiao who let those people in. Otherwise, she might have cut them with wind blades for pointing guns at her.

Hearing her talk, Duan Juan and her people were stunned again.

They heard a zombie talking! That girl who had dark eyes and red pupils was a zombie, a very high-leveled zombie!
