The drones hovered over the military base for a long time. Upon discovering several helicopters, Li Yu visibly became much more excited, his eyes shining with a keen light.

Yet, despite his excitement, he remained calm.

Through the drone, one could see near the gate of the military base, where there were many skeletons, some still clad in clothes and with vehicle banners that indicated they were left by the Motorcycle Gang.

As one goes deeper inside, there are no traces left by the Motorcycle Gang.

This indicates the Motorcycle Gang never entered inside.

Did they not want to go inside? Based on the interrogation of Motorcycle Gang members, they couldn't enter; the further inside, the more zombies there were.

The small barracks were crowded with zombies.

So Li Yu said to Li Tie, "Tiezi, turn on the loudspeaker, let's test the waters."

"Okay." Li Tie looked at the deserted military camp. He was also very curious why, with no one there, the Motorcycle Gang hadn't gone inside.

"Beep—"

A loud speaker blared, the sound echoing throughout the military camp. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Even Li Yu and others outside the camp could hear the distant loudspeaker.

Boom—

Zombies rushed out of the barracks all at once; most of them were wearing uniforms. Since doomsday broke out during winter, they were still dressed in winter uniforms.

Through the drone perspective, Li Yu and his team could see the zombies, rushing out of the barracks at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a tidal wave.

Soon, they gathered underneath the drone.

The number of zombies was immense; the previously empty playground was now filled with zombies.

On the corridors, the playground, under the trees…

Almost two-thirds of the military base was filled with zombies.

Watching this scene, Li Yu and others gasped.

Technically, the camp was not small, yet it could accommodate so many zombies.

A rough estimate put the count over 30,000 zombies.

Moreover, since these zombies were military personnel before death, they were tall and well-built. Some even had weapons, making a clanging noise as they bumped into nearby railings.

Li Yu exchanged a glance with Third Uncle.

Both had a wary look in their eyes; these zombies moved notably faster than regular ones.

Despite this, Li Yu was still puzzled. Since these zombies were attracted by sound, why not simply lure them away?

"Third Uncle, the best way now is to use the drone to lure these zombies away so that we can enter safely. What do you think?"

Li Yu suggested to Third Uncle while watching the drone.

Third Uncle nodded slightly, looking at the uniformed zombies with a hint of sadness deep in his eyes.

Honestly, even though they had become zombies, Third Uncle still didn't want to shoot them.

"Okay. Let's do as you suggested," Third Uncle agreed.

Later, Li Yu commanded the convoy to retreat, pulling back two to three kilometers away. They carefully avoided direct contact with this group of zombies to prevent them from abandoning the loudspeaker on the drone and instead getting attracted to the humans.

Retreating two kilometers away, all the vehicles turned around, ready to leave in case those zombies emerged.

"Tiezi, lure those zombies out, try heading north," Li Yu told Li Tie beside him.

Li Tie nodded, controlling the drone to fly at low altitude, slowly guiding the zombies towards the gate.

The drone remained three meters above the zombies.

The loud noise made these zombies very agitated.

To ensure all the zombies followed, Li Tie controlled the drone to stop every ten meters or so, waiting for the zombies behind to catch up.

"It works!" Li Yu saw the zombies inside indeed follow the drone, his face breaking into a smile.

Buzz—

After a while, the drone finally led this dense mass of zombies to the base gate.

The gate was open; just a short distance forward, they could successfully lure the zombies out.

Li Yu watched the drone screen intently. If the drone could take these zombies away, they could quickly seize the military radio and helicopters, and everything would be perfect!

However, an accident occurred.

Though the drone flew beyond the base gate, not a single zombie followed out.

They stood at the gate, as if there was a barrier between inside and outside.

Preventing these zombies from exiting.

"Strange! Why won't these zombies come out?" Li Tie asked, puzzled.

Thinking he might not have lured them enough, he flew the drone back inside, lowering the speed, trying again to lure them out.

But after several tries, none proved successful.

"Hey? This is really odd. Why won't these zombies come out?" Li Tie widened his eyes, watching this scene.

Not only him but also Li Yu, Third Uncle, Old Qin, and others crowding around the monitor were stunned.

"What is happening here?" Li Yu wondered, amazed.

Why weren't these zombies willing to leave the military base?

Witnessing this, Li Yu was oddly reminded of a story he heard before.

It was a few years after doomsday had erupted; a father accidentally got bitten by a zombie, but he had his newborn daughter with him.

After being bitten, he realized he couldn't hold on much longer. So he found a pile of rotten flesh, tied it to a stick, and asked a very young boy to care for his daughter after he lost his senses.
