Wang Daguo suddenly stood up from the carton in front of the factory gate.

It wasn't just him; even the usually composed Wang Junfa was visibly agitated by the voice coming through the radio waves.

He tried his best to control his slightly trembling right hand and, while signaling Wang Daguo to stay calm, immediately responded, "Old Lin, how are things on your end? Have you encountered any danger? Why haven't we received a response from you until now? We're all worried sick! Over!"

The string of questions, coupled with rapid breathing, further convinced Long Er of his judgment: the person speaking on the radio was indeed a remnant of the Survivor Team that had just been wiped out by his group.

It looks like there's some fun to be had today!

Suppressing his excitement, Long Er shifted from his previously calm tone and immediately replied, "Old Wang, Old Wang, I'm terribly sorry, I'm not Old Lin, your friends were attacked by zombies, and one of them is injured! Over!"

"What!" Almost as soon as Long Er finished speaking, Wang Junfa's thunderous shout came through.

Without a doubt, Wang Junfa's reaction was extremely impolite according to radio communication etiquette.

But Long Er didn't mind at all; on the contrary, a sinister smile appeared on his lips again.

Long Er craftily chose not to respond and waited quietly. The main reason for this was that he was unaware of the details regarding the person on the other end, and speaking prematurely could reveal flaws.

Additionally, he thoroughly enjoyed the other party's helpless frenzy, for in his opinion, humanity's cries of despair were the most beautiful sounds in this world.

As expected, Wang Junfa soon bombarded him with questions as Long Er anticipated: "You're not Old Lin? Then who are you? Where's Old Lin? Who got hurt? How do you know these things?"

Maintaining an intoxicated expression, Long Er had completely lost the earlier annoyance and was now relishing it.

He still didn't answer immediately in a mocking manner and only spoke anxiously after Wang Junfa repeated his questions three times, "Hello, hello, Old Wang! Our signal is not good, listen carefully. We encountered your friend on the road; he was injured. According to him, he got separated from the main group after being surrounded by zombies. That's the basic situation, over!"

Long Er seemed adept at the trick of "clutching at people's thoughts," as could easily be seen from his deliberate vagueness.

However, this "style" drove Wang Junfa, who was at the other end, even more frantic!

"What are you saying! Speak clearly! Who did you meet? Who's injured?"

Listening to the almost roaring voice coming from the radio, Long Er's smile became even broader.

He quickly recalled in his mind and then confidently answered, "Hu Xiaodong, he told me his name is Hu Xiaodong! Over!"

If Wang Junfa was still skeptical of the person on the other end earlier, he was now certain that the other party was telling the truth after they mentioned "Hu Xiaodong."

However, Wang Junfa was no fool; after all, he had also navigated the business world for a long time, so after the initial panic, he gradually calmed down.

"Then please let me speak to Xiao Hu!"

Clearly, Wang Junfa wanted to confirm Hu Xiaodong's current condition through direct conversation, believing that as long as he could talk to Hu Xiaodong himself, many detailed aspects could be clarified and confirmed.

But however well-intentioned he might be, would Long Er grant his wish?

Ha! Want to play tricks with me? You're nowhere near capable!

Detecting the distrust in Wang Junfa's words, Long Er's sinister smile turned cold, and his eyes sharpened.

Undoubtedly, at this moment, Long Er had no possibility of finding Hu Xiaodong to engage in radio communication with him.

Even if he could find Hu Xiaodong, he certainly wouldn't agree to it.

After all, with a guilty conscience, if he wanted to complete his scheme, he absolutely could not allow the involved parties to communicate.

However, if he refused to let Hu Xiaodong answer, the other party would inevitably become suspicious, leading to further questioning, which would expose flaws.

Long Er stroked his brow in slight distress as to how he could gain the other party's trust while rejecting their request.

"Hello, hello, hello! Can you receive my signal? Please let Hu Xiaodong talk to me! I repeat, please let Hu Xiaodong talk to me!"

Wang Junfa was still anxiously urging. The longer the silence, the more it fueled his skepticism of what was said.

Long Er was fully aware of this, and as he was at a loss on how to continue the fabrication, a woman continuously teasing him leaned in to whisper a few words into his ear.

After listening to the whisper, Long Er's tightly knitted brows relaxed slightly, and he immediately replied with a broad smile, "Old Wang, Old Wang! Your signal is too weak, I'll repeat myself, I'll repeat myself! Pay attention! Pay attention!"

Pausing dramatically for a moment, Long Er then hurriedly said, as if truly repeating his words, "Hu Xiaodong is seriously injured and his leg is continuously bleeding. I'm not sure if he can communicate with you. Please wait a moment."

As he spoke, Long Er placed the hand-held radio next to his subordinate's ear.

At this moment, the subordinate, already instructed by the woman, was fully prepared.

So when Long Er handed over the microphone, the subordinate immediately pretended to be breathing unevenly and muttered, "Hey, old, old Wang, I, I'm Xiao Hu!"

Due to the weakness of "Hu Xiaodong's" voice, all Wang Junfa could hear was the buzzing "huff huff" sound.

He couldn't ascertain whether the voice belonged to Hu Xiaodong, yet Long Er seemed to have anticipated Wang Junfa's thoughts, giving him no time to ponder as he theatrically shouted into the microphone, "Xiao Hu, Xiao Hu, what's happening to you? What's happening to you?"

Sure enough, under this indistinguishable act, Wang Junfa stopped his ongoing thoughts and anxiously inquired, "Hey hey hey! What's happening to Xiao Hu? What's happening to Xiao Hu?"

Smirking, Long Er knew his scheme had succeeded. The other party had taken the bait.

"Xiao Hu has lost too much blood and is now shaking; he needs medical attention, he needs medical attention!"

Given how far things had progressed, Wang Junfa couldn't care less about anything else and decisively made a request to the other party: "Listen, our location is... Please bring Xiao Hu to us! I repeat, please bring Xiao Hu to us! Over!"

Listening intently to the target location coming through the microphone, a cold gleam flashed across Long Er's eyes.

Finally, it's time to strike!
