Against the War: After traveling through time, who wouldn’t want to be a little greedy?

"Clap!"

Intensive gunfire rang out in the bamboo forest.

At this time, the nine members of the Xiaolong team plus Luo Li were fighting hard in the bamboo forest, and an endless stream of warrior zombies attacked them.

"This golden-armored warrior zombie is too tanky!" Brother Bu complained while holding up the God of Fire, Yan Di.

That's right, there were ten people in total, four Fire Gods, four Death Hunters and two Netherworld Poison Emperors, and they could only barely suppress these rioting warrior zombies.

The main reason is that this kind of warrior zombie wearing golden armor has too strong defense. It can advance forward little by little under the attacks of the God of Fire Yan Di and the God of Death Hunter. The defense of every part of its body is extremely strong, comparable to the position of the arms of the Qilin-arm zombie encountered in Paris before.

Luo Li also had a headache. This kind of golden armored warrior zombie shouldn't be so resilient. The Death Hunter should be enough to deal with this kind of zombie.

But the fact is, everyone can only barely keep pace and ensure that the defense line does not retreat a step. When everyone's Fire God Yan Di rotates, they still need the Nether Poison King in Angela Sophia's hands to spray poison to temporarily restrict the zombie group, otherwise everyone will have to retreat a little.

"It shouldn't be." Luo Li narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out the reason. The Death Hunter in his hand shot out the instant death bullet again - the Light of Death.

"boom!"

The instant-kill bullet that turned Tina back to her original form instantly cleared out the group of warrior zombies in front of her, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.

The first time they faced the fluctuations caused by the instant-kill bullet and the light of death, everyone was in a bad state and needed to lie down to avoid it. But now, everyone only felt a breeze on their faces, but the dazzling white light was a bit glaring.

Unfortunately, it only briefly cleared out the group of warrior zombies in front. Everyone had been fighting for more than three hours, and no less than ten instant-killing bullets had been fired.

Four or five minutes after the instant-kill bullet shot by Luo Li exploded, the attacking zombies became much sparser.

A hint of surprise appeared in everyone's tired expressions.

Finally cleared out the samurai zombies in this area.

"Quickly eliminate them and take a rest at the pass ahead!" Cathy's tone became a little excited.

Everyone acted quickly and eliminated these warrior zombies quickly. No more zombies came running.

"Huh, it's finally over!" Jasmine leaned on Cathy as if she had no strength left.

Luo Li was puzzled. How could there be so many warrior zombies in this bamboo forest? Or did they come from the pass?

"Forward!" Cathy gave the order.

……

After turning several corners, the group didn't encounter a single zombie on the way until they entered the pass.

Luo Li was certain in his heart that these were definitely zombies rushing over from the pass. Otherwise, after passing through the cave, there would be a large number of golden-armored warrior zombies blocking the road, and they had not encountered any of them on their way here.

"throat!"

Just as everyone reached the pass and was about to take a rest, they heard the sound of weapons clashing in front of them, and everyone couldn't help but be alert.

Everyone walked slowly forward and saw a man wearing armor, Lei Zang, fighting with many warrior zombies in the war pass below.

It is unknown how long Lei Zang had been fighting here. His arms wielding the two swords were still strong. With a flash of silver blade light, the warrior zombies approaching him were easily killed and fell to the ground.

"You've come at the right time. I need to collect information about this island and defend it first." Lei Zang naturally saw everyone, and his tone was full of joy.

Cathy's mouth twitched. They were just about to take a break.

"Let's go help him. This is something we have to face." Cathy shook her head helplessly, and then everyone crossed the suspension bridge and walked onto the war pass.

Lei Zang finally found time to raise the suspension bridge, blocking the zombies' way to the pass.

"There shouldn't be many zombies here." Luo Li assigned everyone, "Five on each side, it shouldn't be a problem!"

As the personnel were deployed, no zombies could break through the pass. Luo Li looked across the moat. In the game, he remembered that area being filled with densely packed zombies.

But now, because of everyone's cleaning, there are no more, only the warrior zombies crawling out of the river.

It's normal. This is not a game after all. Although there are many zombies on the island, there is a limit and it is impossible for them to be endless.

……

After everyone forced themselves to kill all the zombies near the war pass with their exhausted bodies, Lei Zang finally appeared from a distance. He then used his toes to gain leverage on the wall several times and landed in front of everyone.

"Lone Ranger, you're back?" Cathy leaned against the wall and asked weakly, "What did you find?"

Lei Zang did not answer Cathy immediately, but stood straight. Although the mask blocked everyone's view of the expression on Lei Zang's face, they could still feel his inner solemnity from his movements.

Lei Zang's voice became solemn: "It turns out that the Tree of Life can create zombies with consciousness. This is a brand new stubborn virus!"

"Pfft." Cathy couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard what Lei Zang said. "The alliance already knew about this. Do you still need me to tell you?"

A smile appeared on the faces of the others as well. They felt that Lei Zang was a little funny. Is it necessary to search for such information?

Everyone couldn't help but talk in low voices, occasionally letting out a low laugh.

Lei Zang's body suddenly became extremely stiff. After a long moment, he waved his hand and said, "Calm down. There are two roads ahead. Let's go our separate ways."

"Let's go through the tunnel." Luo Li immediately responded.

Lei Zang didn't say anything, he just jumped down from a high place, turned in the air, and headed towards the city.

"Let's rest well before setting off again." Luo Li said to everyone.

Cathy agreed with Luo Li's idea. After a series of battles, not only was the sky getting darker, but everyone was also in extremely exhausted condition and really needed a good rest.

"But why did we choose to take the tunnel route?" Cathy was a little confused about Luo Li's choice.

"Why not? We're destined to clear out all the zombies on the island." Luo Li shook his head. "Let's clear the tunnel first. That will make it easier to clean up the city when we return."

"I don't want to go through the tunnel again."

Luo Li said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was that there was a giant toad in the tunnel. If he chose to take the road to the urban area, the toad would be killed by Lei Zang.

"Yeah, we have to clear it out anyway, so we might as well clear the tunnel first." Cathy nodded in agreement.

"You and I will be in charge of the alert first, and everyone else can rest first." Luo Li gestured to Cathy.

"Yeah." Cathy didn't have any objection to Luo Li's words, and didn't think much about it. After all, she, him, and Bella were the strongest among the ten people, so it was no problem for them to be responsible for the first round of vigilance.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately put away their weapons, sat on the ground, leaned against the wall and closed their eyes. Only Monica opened her eyes wide and stared at Luo Li with a warning look in her eyes.

"Haha." Luo Li rubbed Monica's head, then took off his mask and put his head close to Monica.

"Hmm." Monica murmured, and her expression did not turn into satisfaction until Luo Li moved his head away and put on the mask again. Then, like everyone else, she leaned against the wall, closed her eyes and rested.

Cathy looked at the two men's actions with disdain. Until Luo Li turned around, she said calmly, "What do you think of this island?"

Not wanting to disturb the others' rest, Luo Li lowered his voice by a few decibels: "I'm not sure, I just feel like this island is not simple."

"What do you mean?" Cathy raised her eyebrows.

Luo Li rubbed his brows and said with some concern, "The density of zombies on this island is too high, and the overall intensity far exceeds the two disasters in London and Paris."

"Perhaps the number is far less than those places, but the quality is far superior. Just take the golden armored warrior zombie as an example. It is comparable to the members of the team, and its recovery ability far exceeds that of the special team members."

Cathy wasn't surprised by Luo Li's words. She chuckled and said, "This is the threat posed by the Tree of Life."

"According to the intelligence my alliance has obtained, the Tree of Life can not only cultivate zombies with consciousness, but also endow these zombies with extremely strong vitality."

"Like Lei Zang, although his personal strength is strong, his intelligence is far inferior to ours."

Cathy paused at this point and continued, "Actually, the Alliance doesn't know exactly what the Tree of Life is. They only know it's a special plant that was researched or discovered by Compney. Although it's not aggressive, the threat it poses far exceeds that of something like a mutated carnivorous plant."

"Moreover, the species of the Tree of Life are not fixed and vary depending on the environment."

"For example, the tree of life discovered in South America is a thorn tree, the tree of life discovered in Kyushu is a ginkgo pine, and the tree of life discovered in Europe is a beech tree."

"As for the tree of life that appeared on the land beneath our feet, the Alliance concluded that it is most likely a cherry tree."

Cathy's words made Luo Li think. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, these things you mentioned seem to be very famous species in the area."

"That's right!" Cathy nodded. "Also, the Tree of Life isn't necessarily a threat. It can create conscious zombies and also enhance the resilience of Alliance warriors."

"Oh?" Luo Li was a little curious about Cathy's words.

"It's very simple. The Tree of Life cannot create zombies. These zombies are ultimately produced by the emerald agent, and then the vitality emitted by the Tree of Life gives them consciousness." Cathy explained.

"But after research by the Alliance, we concluded that the Tree of Life can also grant powerful vitality to humans living nearby."

"Whether there are any downsides is currently unknown. All we know is that the Alliance warriors who have volunteered to participate in the experiment haven't experienced any mutations, and their physical activity has increased significantly. They may not be as strong as us, the powerful ones who have broken through the ranks, but their vitality is not much worse than ours."

A thoughtful look flashed across Luo Li's eyes. There was no description of the Tree of Life in the game plot, but judging from the Alliance's name for it, it was normal for it to have these effects.

Luo Li asked with great interest, "So your mission isn't just to clear the island of zombies, but also to bring back the Tree of Life?"
