Liao You and his people were stunned to see the several dozen individuals standing at the laboratory entrance.
The guards who had been outside earlier had encountered a zombie horde and were forced to retreat, so they were no longer well-informed about the situation here.
He looked expressionlessly at the group and asked, "Who are you?"
One of the captains among the crowd stepped forward, "We sought refuge here."
"Earlier, we encountered a zombie horde on the other side, and then were chased here. We cleared out some of the zombies, saw this building, and ran in to hide and wait for rescue."
Then, with a look of longing and hope, he turned to Liao You, "Can you take us back to the base?"
Luo Ning recognized him; he was the captain of the top-ranked team, putting on quite the convincing act, appearing genuinely in distress.
Liao You was half-convinced, "If you are in trouble, of course we'll take you back to the base, but now is not the time."
