Capture live zombies and successfully evacuate

 Roar!

The zombie lying on the ground nibbling on the corpse stopped eating when it saw the sudden appearance of a human.

They lifted their grotesque, blood-stained faces, with blood dripping continuously from their mouths, and let out a loud roar.

Using both their hands and feet, they lunged directly at Li Changqing.

"Synchronize movements!"

Li Changqing quickly retreated while giving orders to the seasoned members of his team.

As the zombies charged towards Li Changqing, the team members swung their ropes and hurled them towards the zombies.

In the next second, the zombies' hands, feet, and necks were all ensnared by the ropes.

As the team members pulled the ropes from different directions, they began to spin rapidly, entangling and immobilizing the zombies.

Li Changqing, who was retreating, acted swiftly and threw out a wire mesh.

The wire mesh descended, enveloping the zombies within it.

Seeing this, the team members immediately pulled the zombies closer, allowing Li Changqing to tighten the wire mesh.

Once it was confirmed that the zombies could not escape, Li Changqing hurriedly tied the rope attached to the wire mesh to the rope lowered by the helicopter.

"Retreat!"

After completing everything, Li Changqing grasped the rope with both hands and climbed up to the helicopter at a rapid pace.

The team members behind him quickly followed suit, climbing up the rope.

The entire capture process was incident-free and exceptionally smooth.

It took less than a minute from start to finish.

Roar! Roar!

The zombies, thoroughly restrained and dragged into the air as the helicopter ascended, let out furious roars that echoed and lingered above Blackstone State.

As the roars spread through Blackstone State, hundreds of zombies emerged from buildings and alleys in an instant.

Howl!

They gazed at the captured zombie and howled towards the sky simultaneously.

Many zombies even converged in their direction immediately.

Li Changqing glanced downwards and felt a chill run down his spine.

He silently thanked their swift action.

If they had been a moment slower, they would have been unable to leave Blackstone State.

As the helicopter carried them rapidly out of Blackstone State, the weight on their hearts lifted.

...

Huanzhou.

Inside a building.

Lin Chuan saw the footage of the captured zombie through the information-sharing screen at the first opportunity.

His brows furrowed as a possibility crossed his mind.

"System, can zombies be studied?" Lin Chuan quickly inquired of the system.

[Reply to the host: Zombies are mutated by viral infections originating from their parent bodies and possess immense research value.]

[If humans obtain virus samples, they should be able to develop vaccines to prevent infection and mutation.]

[If humans unlock the genetic locks of evolution within the zombies and apply them to humans, humans will also acquire the ability to evolve, master different abilities, and become stronger.]

"What if this zombie dies?"

[Even if a zombie dies, the virus within its body will not dissipate, and the genetic locks will not be destroyed, unless the zombie is destroyed.]

After receiving the system's response, Lin Chuan's brows furrowed even more, forming a "chuan" shape.

He immediately scanned the information on the zombies in Blackstone State.

He must stop the captured zombie from falling into human hands!

Absolutely no chances can be given to humans!

...

Heizhou Province.

Jiang Yang, who had turned into a zombie, stood on the street, just like the other zombies around him, unaware and roaring at the sky out of instinct.

Suddenly, he received an instruction from Lin Chuan.

He stopped roaring, shouldered his sniper rifle, and climbed up to the top of a tall building with his bare hands.

Gazing at the helicopter in the sky, carrying captured zombies and gradually disappearing into the distance, he immediately set up his sniper rifle and aimed at the direction the helicopter was flying away.

Bang!

The next second, a crisp sound of breaking through the air rang out.

The bullet flew quickly through the sky, attempting to sever the rope connecting the helicopter.

However, the distance was too far, and the helicopter was still moving rapidly, causing the shot to miss its target.

Upon hearing the sniper shot, Li Changqing's just-relaxed heart tightened up again.

Following the direction of the sound, he soon spotted a zombie on top of a building, aiming a sniper rifle at this direction.

"Use your bodies to protect the rope!"

"Increase altitude!"

Li Changqing immediately gave orders to the members below him while shouting loudly.

In this brief moment, Jiang Yang had already fired another shot.

Unfortunately, this shot hit a policeman.

When Jiang Yang was about to fire the third shot, the helicopter's altitude and distance had already exceeded the sniper's range.

He could only watch as the helicopter flew out of Heizhou Province, gradually disappearing from sight.

...

Huanzhou Province.

Inside a building.

Boom!

Watching the helicopter fly away safely, Lin Chuan felt a surge of anger and punched the wall with all his might.

The immense force caused cracks to appear on the wall, which then collapsed with a loud noise.

Just a moment ago, he was lamenting the internal and external troubles facing Wuguo, feeling besieged on all sides.

Little did he expect that the next moment, he would be outmaneuvered by the upper echelons of Wuguo.

At this moment, Lin Chuan finally realized something.

The upper echelons of Wuguo's generous abandonment of fifteen cities was not just to facilitate the blockade and defense.

Their main purpose was to take advantage of the vast territory to find vulnerable locations among the zombie hordes and capture live zombies.

Their sights had already fallen on the zombies themselves.

This was something Lin Chuan had never imagined.

Soon, Lin Chuan calmed down.

The capture of zombies had become an irreversible fact.

It would also take a lot of time for the upper echelons of Wuguo to conduct research.

If the research of the upper echelons of Wuguo succeeds, it will pose a significant obstacle to my future development.

I must seize the time and make further progress before they come up with their research results!

"Host, please rest assured. The captured zombies are just ordinary ones, and their genetic locks are incomplete."

"Humans can only conduct research on the zombie virus."

Sensing Lin Chuan's concerns, the system provided a prompt.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan didn't pay too much attention but felt relieved instead.

If the upper echelons of Wuguo had ideas about zombies, even if this interception were successful, they would still launch second, third, and even more attempts.

Currently trapped in fifteen cities, the zombie army's development would be unable to prepare for such sudden attacks from the upper echelons of Wuguo.

With repeated attempts, the upper echelons of Wuguo would eventually succeed.

Right now, instead of worrying about whether the upper echelons of Wuguo can succeed in their research, it's better to seize the time to develop and find opportunities to break out of the blockaded fifteen cities.

Besides, even though that zombie has been captured by the upper echelons of Wuguo, as long as it's not killed,

Lin Chuan can still understand the progress of their research and everything that happens through information sharing.

Indirectly speaking, he has also infiltrated the upper echelons of Wuguo.

From now on, he has another channel to obtain information.

However, Lin Chuan never wants such things to happen again.

Immediately, he issued an order to the entire zombie army.

During the development process, no zombie is allowed to act alone.

In case of any crisis, surrounding zombies must provide support immediately.

Absolutely not giving humans any opportunities!

After the order was given, Lin Chuan took out his mobile phone and watched as the moat of Liuli Prefecture was completely sealed off, and the thick walls grew ever higher. He shifted his gaze to the actions and influences of the various countries.

Although there was some panic within the territories of the various countries, there was no sign of preparation for defense.

Then he saw the foreign envoys from multiple countries flying into Wudu, and the five armies of the White Country pressing against the borders, creating considerable pressure on the Wu Country.

Lin Chuan began to ponder.

How to use the unrest among the various countries and the pressure brought to the Wu Country to create favorable conditions for himself.
