“Boom, boom, boom…”

The pickup truck chosen by Gray Bear roared incessantly, darting through the city. Li Chenzhou was driving, while Gray Bear stood in the truck bed, firing the beam rifle in his hand at the surrounding buildings.

They had been circling for over ten minutes, but hadn't seen a single enhanced zombie. So, Gray Bear simply started shooting at the nearby buildings, trying to lure some zombies out.

"Damn it! That's really strange. What's the energy source for the beams this thing shoots?"

While continuously firing, Gray Bear studied the beam rifle in his hand, muttering to himself.

This gun seemed to be a single, inseparable unit. Not only was there no magazine, but the entire gun body had no detachable parts. Naturally, there was no place to load ammunition.

But every time Gray Bear pulled the trigger, a beam of light would shoot out. From the beginning until now, he had fired at least two hundred beams.

Although it wasn't a physical projectile like a bullet, the light beam should still consume energy. If you take a flashlight, it still uses electricity, so Gray Bear wanted to find out where the energy source of this gun was.

This was also what Li Chenzhou had asked him to find, promising that if the energy of this beam rifle was exhausted, he would exchange it for his own. That's why Gray Bear was recklessly firing it without any concern.

More than two hundred shots, and Gray Bear was firing explosive rounds, blasting the surrounding buildings full of holes. But the gun didn't change at all, as if it had infinite ammunition.

This made Gray Bear both surprised and frustrated. Because he couldn't determine the energy source of this gun, he had no way of knowing if this gun truly had infinite ammo.

Although shooting it now seemed very satisfying, there was still the possibility of running out of energy. This was a weapon, not something else. If it failed at a crucial moment, it could be fatal.

But no matter how he studied it, this gun couldn't be disassembled. Gray Bear was reluctant to use brute force to destroy it, so he had to keep shooting and silently calculating in his mind how many shots he had fired.

He was now waiting for the gun's light beams to be completely exhausted. When he pulled the trigger and no more beams were fired, he would exchange this gun for Li Chenzhou's.

Since both guns were snatched back from that guy, the energy storage inside should be similar. How many beams this gun shot out, that gun should be able to shoot out about the same amount.

This way, after the exchange, he would have a better idea, and Gray Bear also decided that if that really happened, he would have to use the exchanged beam rifle sparingly, trying to make it last longer!

"Boss! Did all the zombies… go out of the city?"

Li Chenzhou was driving in expanding circles, to ensure he didn't miss any area. After another half hour, Gray Bear had fired nearly a thousand beams, and still hadn't found any zombies, finally he couldn't help but shout.

"Squeal!"

Hearing Gray Bear's words, Li Chenzhou immediately slammed on the brakes. This was actually possible!

"Then let's go out of the city and take a look!"

Saying that, Li Chenzhou stepped on the gas again, the pickup truck speeding towards the direction of Henry Town…

Anyway, they were going out of the city, and they were in the central area of the city, so it was almost the same no matter which direction they went. They might as well go back to the town.

In case there really were zombies leaving the city and heading for the town, they could go back and provide reinforcements!

With a destination in mind, they naturally proceeded straight towards it, so the time passed much faster. During the journey, the beam rifle in Gray Bear's hand continued to fire.

This also led to Li Chenzhou's route looking like a battlefield, with holes about two meters in diameter everywhere in the surrounding buildings, and broken glass all over the ground!

Anyway, this city wasn't theirs, neither Gray Bear nor Li Chenzhou felt any pity. And the number in Gray Bear's mouth had already counted to 1568!

Therefore, Gray Bear could be said to be ecstatic in his heart. Even if this beam rifle turned into scrap metal in the next second due to energy exhaustion, it would still be worth it.

After exchanging it for Li Chenzhou's gun, he would have a beam rifle that could fire more than fifteen hundred beams. Although there would eventually be a day when the energy ran out, at least he would have a rough idea!

Therefore, Gray Bear's firing frequency was getting faster and faster. He wanted to quickly exhaust the energy of the beam rifle in his hand!

Unfortunately, by the time they returned to the town, the number in Gray Bear's mouth had reached 2657, and the beam rifle in his hand was still going strong, as if it really had infinite beams.

On the way back, Li Chenzhou and the others also encountered many survivors, driving various vehicles, all speeding towards the town.

These were naturally the survivors rescued by James and the others. Li Chenzhou and the others ignored these guys and continued on their way, while Gray Bear's continuous beams made those survivors feel a little terrified.

When they returned to the town, it was already dawn. James was not there, still leading people to rescue in the city. Gray Bear jumped out of the car, asked a few people, and then came back to tell Li Chenzhou about the situation here.

The rescue here was going quite smoothly. No team had encountered any zombies. Later, the survivors who left the city even dared to collect some supplies along the way.

"In other words… those enhanced zombies didn't leave the city?"

Li Chenzhou frowned.

"At least not in this direction!"

Gray Bear held the beam rifle and pulled the trigger at the sky, shooting beams of light into the universe, still counting in his mouth:

"3838!"

"Could it be… that the research institute didn't move far, and is still in this city?"

Li Chenzhou's expression was solemn.

Because he didn't know if the research institute was completely destroyed by self-destruction, he suspected that it had been transferred as a whole, and the self-destruction was just the Devourer trying to scare him.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou was now worried that the research institute was still in this city, and that those enhanced zombies had been recalled by the Devourer, which was why they couldn't find a single enhanced zombie!

This was the only possibility Li Chenzhou could think of, because although enhanced zombies were much stronger than ordinary zombies, they were still zombies and wouldn't hide on their own.

There were as many as tens of thousands of enhanced zombies that had run away before. How could they not encounter a single one?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Li Chenzhou's solemn expression, Gray Bear subconsciously stopped shooting and asked.

"I think, the guy who controls the zombie horde might still be in the city!"

Li Chenzhou looked at Gray Bear and replied…
