In fact, Brother Xu's arrangements were quite good. In the middle of the night that day, sure enough, zombies attacked again.
Guo Xiaobei pulled out his long spear to attack the zombies while asking others to go and notify everyone to get up quickly, lest the zombies break into the vehicles.Xing Fang fought while discussing with Guo Xiaobei why there had always been zombies attacking at midnight recently.
Before Guo Xiaobei could say anything, a guy named Hei Zi shouted loudly in reply, "There are just more and more zombies!"
However, Guo Xiaobei silently disagreed in his heart. If he wasn't mistaken, the way Brother Xu chose locations in the past two days hadn't been any different from before, but there had been frequent zombie attacks these two days, and even the time was so coincidental. This really made people suspicious. It's just that the system didn't give any prompts in this regard, and he really felt at a loss about where the problem lay.
If it had been ordinary zombies, it would have been okay. But the one they were attacking right now was obviously like the one from yesterday, an evolved zombie. Coincidentally, he had received a task to kill three evolved zombies in a row today, so he could count this one.
The zombie in front of them was extremely powerful, even more so than the one from the night before. The one from the previous day seemed to have a relatively balanced combination of agility and strength, while this one was more strength-oriented.
Although it wasn't too fast in movement and had taken quite a few attacks from everyone, it always managed to avoid vital parts. On the contrary, when everyone tried to withstand the force of its charge, they all felt their arms numbed from the shock. Moreover, they had to be careful of the zombie's black, sharp and long nails and the green liquid on its body.
Last night, a short guy was scratched by it. To avoid discouraging everyone, Brother Xu left him alone in the rear compartment, gave him a bottle of water and a few steamed buns, and stated that if he mutated, there would be nothing they could do.
Although Brother Xu's method was risky, after all, this was a younger brother who had followed him. If he was abandoned just like that, others would probably feel uncomfortable in their hearts. By isolating him like this, it would be best if nothing happened. And if something did happen, they could deal with it immediately.
In this regard, Guo Xiaobei actually admired Brother Xu. This man still had some magnanimity and wasn't as narrow-minded as he had thought.
When they finally dealt with the evolved zombie in front of them, everyone was so tired that they didn't even want to talk. If one like this came every day, it would be really a pain in the ass. Life would be unbearable.
Today's zombie was surprisingly strong. Guo Xiaobei kicked the corpse and wondered if these evolved zombies were divided into different evolutionary directions. Otherwise, how could the two zombies from today and yesterday be so completely different.
Everyone cleaned up the place, rearranged the patrol teams at night, and then took turns to rest. Guo Xiaobei checked the system map and saw that the surrounding area was already clear, with no blue dots. It's just that... he hadn't had time to figure out where these blue dots came from in the past two days. They hadn't been shown on his map before.
Come to think of it, if he hadn't been constantly looking at the map, the viewing range of the map was only half a kilometer, which meant that only zombies within 500 meters around could be detected. And within a distance of 500 meters, even though zombies moved slowly, it wouldn't take them long. Besides, the evolved zombies that appeared yesterday and today were much faster than ordinary zombies.

It seemed that the system map needed to be monitored all the time.
After that, Xing Fang and Guo Xiaobei, who were the main forces, got into the vehicle to rest. The others continued patrolling at night. This could also be regarded as a privilege given by Brother Xu to them. Moreover, usually after one round of patrol, there would be very few zombies left, and the remaining few people could handle them completely.
In the following few days, every night, an evolved zombie would Collaboration (I assume you mean "Collaboration" as "cooperate with" here, so it should be "cooperate with") a dozen or so ordinary zombies to attack. Everyone was almost numb from it, apart from the fact that it was really exhausting.
Finally, everyone discussed it and organized the relatively weaker men and women to be responsible for giving the alarm in the early part of the night. And once the zombies attacked, they would wake up the main combat team that was on standby. In this way, the strength could be concentrated and everyone's physical strength could be saved. In the last few days, everyone was so eager to drive through the night without sleeping. But Brother Xu thought about it in the carriage and then came out to reject everyone's opinion.
The only one who had an easy time these days was Guo Xiaobei. He completed one task of killing evolved zombies after another, and his experience points were rising rapidly.
Before long, their convoy was blocked by someone again as they were approaching the next city. Actually, it wasn't that the other party took the initiative to stop their vehicles. There was a small group of zombies in front, and there was only one person, a young man, fighting against these zombies.
Brother Xu watched from a distance for a while and then ordered everyone to go down and help kill the zombies. One reason was that this group of zombies blocked the road and they couldn't get through. Another reason was that he saw the man's extremely powerful combat effectiveness, which was really appealing.
In the post-apocalyptic period, if there was anything that mattered the most, it was two words: survival. And there weren't many factors that constituted survival. Having powerful abilities to protect oneself from being killed by zombies, and having food were both indispensable.
Food wasn't a problem for Brother Xu. Although he was leading a group of over twenty people, he had even more food. The trucks at the back were full of food and water. And along the way, they had been living frugally. Guo Xiaobei estimated that the full trucks had enough food for them to eat for at least a year or two. And a lot of things could happen in a year. There would also be new sources of food discovered along the way and added to their supplies.
So what Brother Xu lacked the most now was capable people. Although he had over twenty people under him, they were all ordinary people, and several of them had died or been injured along the way. Xing Fang was considered one of the more powerful ones among them, but he didn't get along with Brother Xu's brother-in-law, and he had a rather stubborn temper. Brother Xu didn't dare to bet on him. Guo Xiaobei looked thin, but his actual combat effectiveness was quite good. However, relying on just one person wasn't enough. Now, seeing the young man in front of him with combat effectiveness no less than that of Guo Xiaobei and Xing Fang, Brother Xu was immediately tempted.
Soon, everyone cleaned up the zombies, and Brother Xu enthusiastically invited the young man to get into the vehicle. In the evening when they had dinner, Brother Xu took the young man to meet everyone and announced that he would be a member of the convoy.
The young man was quite tall, even taller than Brother Xu, about 1.9 meters or so. There was a pair of black-framed glasses on his cold and aloof face, giving off an air of being difficult to get along with. Judging by his appearance, he should be a student at this age, but obviously, a student couldn't have combat effectiveness comparable to that of a special forces soldier. At least a student wouldn't be able to keep wearing black-framed glasses while fleeing alone and still have his clothes neat.
"My name is Han Yang." The young man said his name and nodded at everyone, then didn't say anything more.
Brother Xu didn't take offense at this. For him, someone who didn't like to talk was better, saving him from trouble.
After everyone finished eating, Han Yang was assigned to the second to last vehicle. When the vehicles were parked in a circle, it happened to be face to face with Guo Xiaobei's vehicle.
"That Han Yang is not simple." Xing Fang got into the vehicle and started to comment.
Guo Xiaobei nodded in agreement. This Han Yang was not simple. Of course not simple, definitely not simple, because he was a person with special abilities, a young person with special abilities.
