As the clock struck midnight, the rain stopped abruptly. The thick storm clouds parted, revealing a blood-red moon hanging ominously in the sky.
His eyes narrowed at this sight. Without hesitation, he turned to his team and said, "Wake up. It's time to move."
The soldiers stirred immediately as most of them were a light sleeper. Within ten minutes, they had packed their gear and climbed into their trucks and armored vehicles.
Under the dimmed illumination of the red moonlight, their convoy left the villa, heading straight for Lin'an University.
Inside the armored car, Jin Xuyan checked his watch again, his fingers clenching into fists. He had expected casualties during the storm, but thanks to their precautions, none of his men had turned into zombies.
Although no one turned into zombies, several soldiers had developed high fevers and fell into a coma. They were showing signs of awakening their abilities.
