When the two team members saw that someone had come to save them, they shouted happily, indicating their location. The two sides cooperated from the inside and outside, and the zombies that were obstructing them were temporarily swept away, leaving a path open. The clever team members quickly pushed the forks and rushed out.

Because they were in such a hurry, the boxes on the fork truck fell from time to time. Immediately, a team member ran over to pick up the boxes and tried to load them back into the truck. Zeng Zhiqiang was so angry that he shouted,"I still want the box! Hurry up and escape!" If not for the fact that he was afraid of being hated by them later, he would have said," Don't worry about the goods, just run for your lives!”

He couldn't be blamed for being anxious. These people were too greedy. The goods on the fork lift were piled higher than a person. There were people holding the goods on both sides to prevent the goods from falling. They were very careful and didn't dare to move too fast. In the end, they were blocked by zombies before they could evacuate in time. It was good that they were saved. Because they were relieved, they only cared about the goods. So many people came to be their free guards! If Zeng Zhiqiang had not spoken first, the others would have cursed as well.

Perhaps they realized that they shouldn't have, so they stopped caring about the goods that had fallen to the ground and ran to the parking lot as fast as they could.

Seeing that the people had already arrived, the three occupied vehicles started to move. Once their people got into the vehicles, the trucks took the lead and set off out of the market. The Hunter Team and the Hope Team followed closely behind. The remaining two teams hurriedly moved the goods into the trucks and quickly chased after them.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, Zhang Tie was very satisfied with the result of this task. He had already calculated how many points he could exchange for.

Who would have thought that he had let his guard down too early.

About half an hour after they set off, everyone noticed through the rearview mirror that the last two cars suddenly began to move in an S-shape. There was a faint commotion in the car, and everyone had a faint guess in their hearts.

Zhang Tiesheng stretched out his hand out of the window and made a hand gesture towards the back, causing all the cars to stop at the same time.

Zhang Tiesheng led the three people out of the car and ran towards the car. Some people also got out of the other cars (they would decide whether to provide help or not according to the situation). Those who stayed in the car could only observe through the window (it was not safe on the road, so it was not a good time to watch the commotion, especially the driver, who had to be ready to set off at any time).

At the same time, when the second car stopped and the door opened, a few people jumped out in a hurry. Then, they turned to the door and made a defensive posture. However, no matter how one looked at it, they were trembling with fear, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Seeing this, those who had rushed over had already confirmed their guesses. Zhang Tie didn't want to ask what happened; instead, he directly ordered the two soldiers to go to the last vehicle. He and the other soldier stayed in front of the first vehicle to deal with the "accident".

Li Xi, Zheng Ji, and Zeng Zhiqiang followed Zhang Tiesheng. Seeing Zhang Tiesheng and the others coming over, they hurriedly moved aside. Through the door, they saw a person lying on the last row of seats. His face was pale, with two boxes of goods on his body. His limbs were facing up, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws while uttering "hehe" sounds. In the second row, a person was leaning against the wall of the carriage with his back to the door. His head was lowered and he was trembling. Only the two of them were left in the car.

There was no doubt that the person behind him had mutated into a zombie, but the people behind him were not sure about the situation of the person in front.

Zhang Tiesheng and the other soldiers put on helmets, protective gloves and other protective equipment. The soldier was holding a thick piece of plastic cloth. Zhang Tiesheng casually picked up a thick stick from a tree beside the road and signaled the others to move the boxes away from the zombies.

Li Xi and the others saw that their own people were still free, so they naturally wouldn't rush to help. They only moved to the side and maintained a certain distance to watch. At the same time, they were prepared to make a move when needed.

They didn't dare to count on anyone else, so they had no choice but to step forward. One of them was Xie Dong, the leader of the Bravehearts Team. He had to take the lead.

Zhang Tie moved the top box first. Before moving the second box, Zhang Tie used a wooden stick to block the zombie so that it couldn't stand up even after the box was moved. Although Xie Dong tried his best to control his hands, he couldn't help but tremble. Being startled by Zhang Tie's shout, he hurriedly moved the box away. The soldier moved forward and covered the zombie with the plastic cloth. At the same time, Zhang Tie pulled out his stick and stepped on the zombie's foot. They then dragged the zombie out of the truck and threw it into an open space on the roadside. After that, they chopped off its head and set it on fire. Everyone was surprised and delighted, and they heaved a sigh of relief.

A zombie wasn't scary, but seeing a familiar person turn into a zombie, being chopped and burned, this kind of feeling was extremely complicated.

The other car was doing the same thing.

Just as everyone thought that the matter was over and was about to return to the car, a weak voice sounded. Everyone who was about to leave was shocked and almost fell."There's one more!"

Not until then did Zhang Tie remember that there was another person in the vehicle. However, he didn't react to the commotion just now. Confused, he turned to Xie Dong and asked,""What happened? Why didn't you say it together just now?!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. Anyone who didn't guard against another suspected zombie would be unhappy. What if an accident happened?!

Xie Dong felt wronged too. He explained bitterly,"" At that time, No. 5 suddenly acted up, and Hirako happened to be sitting next to him. He was accidentally bitten. When we finally managed to restrain No. 5 and asked Hirako, he only said that he didn't bite him, but he didn't show it to us. Because it was too short a time to see anything wrong, even if we suspected him, we didn't dare to provoke him. Once we touched him, he said that he didn't bite us... When you came, this was what you saw!”

"In other words, the probability of being infected is very high, but he doesn't cooperate, so there's no way to prove it?”Zhang Tiesheng concluded.

"That's right!" Xie Dong nodded, agreeing with his conclusion.

As the members of the Bravehearts Team had already developed feelings for each other, it was understandable that they couldn't make a decision before the other party was confirmed to be infected. However, Zhang Tie was different. He was just a casual friend of that member during the period of cooperation. Additionally, as a soldier, he was more decisive in carrying out his orders. After figuring out the truth, he immediately returned to the vehicle.

At this moment, the man called Hirako still maintained his previous movement as if he was immersed in his own world and turned a deaf ear to everything around him. Zhang Tie looked around and saw a bundle of rope in the corner. He picked it up and winked at his partner. The two of them silently leaned against each other and forcefully tied him up. When they touched her, Hirako changed from her previous silence to a fierce resistance, repeatedly shouting,"I wasn't bitten! I wasn't bitten!"

"Calm down! Since you weren't bitten, you'll be safe once the time is up!”Given his current state, nobody believed that he was not bitten. However, in order not to stimulate him, Zhang Tie had to listen to him.

However, his words of comfort did not work. Hirako continued to shout,""I wasn't bitten! I wasn't bitten!"

It seemed that he had already collapsed before he could act up.

Zhang Tiesheng's subordinate immediately knocked him out with a hand knife (with protective gloves, he was not afraid of being infected). Meanwhile, he turned his head over and exposed his neck. There were teeth marks on his neck. Although it was not deep, according to his past experience, he should have been infected!

Zhang Tiesheng got off the car and told Xie Dong and the other guys about the situation. Before the mutation, they had to deal with it themselves.

After some discussion, they decided to treat him before he showed any symptoms such as fever.

There should only be one infected member in the Weiwu Squad. Seeing that the matter had been settled, everyone got into their respective cars.

Yu Xiaowei and the others who stayed in the car couldn't hold back their curiosity and had observed with binoculars. Although they couldn't see it as clearly as Li Xi and the others at a close distance, they still knew the general process.

The rest of the journey was no longer relaxing. No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the carriage was oppressive. Sadness was one thing, but grief was more of a warning. Although there had been many battles in the past, there had always been some surprises in the end. Unknowingly, everyone had become a little arrogant and thought that they were very strong. Today's incident made them realize that a small mistake often brought about destruction.

After a quarter of an hour, as expected, the bravehearts team made a gesture to stop the car. This time, they only stopped the car and nobody got off. When the door opened, two people appeared dragging that man called Pingzi. It seemed that Pingzi had been knocked out again. The following treatment was the same as what Zhang Tiesheng and the others had done. Although it was cruel, it was the most correct way to deal with it.

After more than an hour, the depressing journey finally ended.

Before entering the base, there was a routine quarantine inspection. The quarantine area was divided into two parts. One part was the quarantine before the base personnel returned from their missions, and the other part was the normal quarantine.

The journey back from a mission was usually not short, at least half an hour. If there was an infection on the way, it would be discovered and dealt with, just like what happened to them before. There were almost no cases of concealment. Even relatives and friends knew the seriousness of the matter. No one would joke about their lives.

This did not mean that the quarantine time could be shortened, but the level of vigilance could be lowered, and most of the manpower and energy could be transferred to the ordinary quarantine area.

The rooms in the quarantine zone varied in size, and usually, the same team stayed in one room. The smallest room could accommodate five people, and the largest room could accommodate 20 people.

He didn't have time to ask about the details of the accident that happened before. He could use the quarantine period to discuss and figure out the process of infection so that others wouldn't make the same mistake in the future.

Zhang Tiesheng asked each team to select some representatives to attend this temporary meeting (mainly because the room could not hold so many people). Besides the captain, each team had two other members. The Hope Squad consisted of Zeng Zhiqiang, Guo Rui, and Yu Xiaowei (Li Xi was not willing to join in the fun, so he just wanted to hear the results).

When they were in the car earlier, they had just started eating when the following incident happened. Everyone lost their appetite. Now that they were in a safe environment, they finally felt hungry and thirsty again. Li Xi and the others who stayed behind took out food and water to eat again. Now that their mood had been adjusted, they ate especially well in the situation of hunger and thirst.

After half an hour, Zeng Zhiqiang and the others returned. Yu Xiaowei was about to report the situation to the people who were not there. His sharp eyes saw the food packaging and cups on the table and immediately changed his words."Let me eat first!"

Zeng Zhiqiang and Guo Rui knew Yu Xiaowei's talkative personality, so they didn't try to steal the conversation. They just found their own seats and ate.

"Look at the way he eats. It's too damaging to his image! Don't worry, we have plenty of time to wait!”Lu Hui saw that Yu Xiaowei was choking on his food and mocked him with disdain.

Everyone held back their laughter. They were not anxious to hear it, but they were anxious to death.

With this interlude, the depressing atmosphere finally eased up.

Yu Xiaowei ate half his fill and drank a few mouthfuls of water before he began to explain,"The two people who were infected were also unlucky. At that time, the two teams were surrounded by zombies. When they were killing the zombies, they were all squeezed together. One of them was accidentally splashed with the blood of the zombies in his eyes. The other person had been scratched by zombies before. He only scratched his clothes and didn't feel any pain, so he thought he wasn't scratched. Later on, everyone was in a hurry to get into the car and escape, so they forgot to check carefully. The two of them fell asleep not long after they got into the car. Most of the teammates beside them also fell asleep, so they missed the opportunity to find out earlier.”

"Then how did the Weiwu Squad discover and restrain the mutated person in time?”Zhao Ledan asked curiously.
