### Chapter 47: Distracting Captain Li

Led by Captain Li, the group quickly arrived near the underground casino. The casino's entrance was wide open, surrounded by a horde of zombies, roughly estimated to be over three hundred.

Dealing with these zombies was straightforward, but doing so without attracting the attention of nearby zombies was quite challenging, leaving Captain Li with a bit of a headache.

While Captain Li was pondering, Wang Bin quietly pulled Li Dazhu aside. Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao stood nearby, shielding the two from view.

"There are many zombies on the left street, and they're easily attracted. Later, you should suggest to Captain Li to clear those zombies first before dealing with the ones at the entrance."

"Ah, I think you should say it. That way, you can gain his trust."

"No, I'm new here. Even if I gain Captain Li's trust, it's hard to earn the trust of other volunteers. You're different; you're a veteran. If you step up and win Captain Li's trust, he'll definitely assign you some volunteers, making our actions more convenient."

"Got it!"

Li Dazhu was a smart man and understood immediately. After discussing, they returned to the group. A moment later, Li Dazhu strode over to Captain Li.

"Captain Li, I have a suggestion."

"Oh, Dazhu, what do you propose?"

"If we want to get inside, we must clear the zombies at the entrance. However, doing so might attract the zombies from the left street, and we could get surrounded. I suggest we clear the zombies on the left street first. It might take more time, but it's safer."

"Haha, Dazhu, you make a good point. No wonder you were a scout! Let's clear the zombies on the left street first!"

Captain Li was delighted by Li Dazhu's suggestion, giving him a few hearty pats on the shoulder before leading the group to clear the zombies on the left.

To gain Captain Li's favor, Li Dazhu showed his true skills while clearing zombies. While others killed one zombie, he killed three, becoming the most impressive figure, earning quiet praise from many.

Seeing Li Dazhu's prowess, Captain Li considered recruiting him again. Of course, if Li Dazhu refused, he would have to follow Boss Jin's orders to eliminate him.

After clearing a safe zone, half an hour had passed, and everyone was a bit tired.

"Everyone, take a break. Dazhu, come over!" After clearing the zombies, Captain Li sat grandly on a stone, ordering the group to rest.

Hearing the order to rest, everyone sat down without caring about the dirt on the ground.

As Li Dazhu approached Captain Li, envious glances followed him, knowing he was about to rise.

"Dazhu, you're quite skilled!"

"Not bad!"

"I'll assign you twenty people to command later!"

"Thank you, Captain Li!"

"Don't mention it. Do a good job, and I won't treat you poorly!"

"Thank you!"

To distract Captain Li and gain more power, Li Dazhu pretended to be tempted.

Hearing Li Dazhu's words, Captain Li laughed happily.

"Dazhu will be your leader from now on, so listen to him!" After resting for over ten minutes, Captain Li called everyone up again, pointing to a group of volunteers.

Those people nodded in understanding at Captain Li's words.

"Let's go clear the zombies at the entrance. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go back for a drink!"

"Let's go!"

Hearing the mention of drinking, everyone perked up, following Captain Li to the casino entrance.

The underground casino had several floors above it as a hotel, while the casino was on the second and third basement levels. Their destination was the third basement level.

With no worries left, the zombies at the entrance were quickly cleared, and the group headed down to the first basement level.

The first basement level was a parking lot, spacious and filled with zombies, numbering at least one or two thousand.

Clearing them all was unrealistic, but clearing the passage to the second basement level was manageable, though it required some time and effort.

Everyone was experienced and wouldn't recklessly fight zombies, so they cleared the way without anyone getting hurt.

After clearing the passage to the second basement level, Li Dazhu quickly approached Captain Li.

"Captain Li, I think we should leave some people at the entrance and here to prevent zombies from blocking our way."

"Your suggestion is good. Achen, Axing, take four people to guard the entrance above. Don't let the zombies block us!"

"Understood, Captain!"

"You guys stay here and guard the passage entrance!"

"Yes, Captain!"

With people assigned, the group, holding torches, headed down. The zombies on the second basement level were fewer than on the first, but still numbered five or six hundred.

The group spent some time clearing the passage to the third basement level, with Captain Li assigning seven or eight people to guard the entrance.

Captain Li didn't assign any of Li Dazhu's people to guard, instead choosing from his subordinates and volunteers. Thus, when they reached the third basement level, Captain Li had only fourteen subordinates left.

Facing fourteen people was still challenging for Wang Bin's group of four, but it was easier than facing twenty-five at once.

The zombies on this level were fewer than the previous one, but still over two hundred.

"All zombies on this level must be cleared. Dazhu, take your people to clear the zombies on the left. I'll take the others to clear the right."

"Alright!"

To safely transport items, Captain Li decided to clear all zombies on this level.

Wang Bin nodded silently to Li Dazhu, choosing not to follow him to the left but instead going with Captain Li to the right, as Wang Bin had decided to make his move.

With no electricity here, the only light came from the torches in their hands, and not everyone had one. The underground casino was on the third basement level, where sunlight couldn't reach, making it pitch black and easy to act.

Wang Bin and his group didn't act immediately, following the team to clear zombies. After a while, they dispersed, each seeking their target.

Guan Xiaoyue quietly approached one of Captain Li's men from behind, quickly covering his mouth with one hand while her right hand swiftly sliced his throat with a dagger. The man struggled briefly before collapsing.

Officer Miao had excelled in police academy, with many subjects marked excellent, including stealth. She approached a lone person from behind, quickly grabbing his head with both hands and snapping his neck with a crack.

Wang Bin, from his system space, took out his entrenching tool, approached someone from behind, and with inner strength, smashed it down on the person's head.

With a clang, the person fell instantly.

He was no longer the same as when he first entered the apocalypse. With two superior martial arts techniques, killing was quite simple.

After the three finished their tasks, they glanced around, seeing no one noticed them, and quietly returned to the group to continue killing zombies.
