Doomsday Officers Operation Team-Chapter 53: Rancid Smell

When a man walked towards Suwan, he noticed her clothes and recognized her identity. He immediately lowered his head in disgust and took a step aside. Seeing his look, Zoe grumbled unhappily, and Suwan smelled a rotten smell. Although it was very faint, the man deliberately stayed away from her, but after experiencing the zombie tide in Cole City and seeing so many zombies, the rotten smell on the zombies made Suwan very sensitive. Suwan sniffed like a puppy, stopped, and looked back at the man who was walking away.

"What's wrong?" Zoe asked curiously. Suwan gestured to her to keep quiet, turned around and pretended to leave with Zoe. He turned his head to pay attention to the man. He felt something was wrong when he saw him enter a room and look around vigilantly before closing the door.

"Is there something going on?" Zoe asked nervously in a low voice.

Suwan did not explain immediately, but went back to the old woman with Zoe to ask her about the man.

The old woman thought they had changed their minds and wanted to accept her radishes, but when she heard them asking about the neighbor, she enthusiastically told them everything she knew: "You said Eddie, he lived here when we came. He is a resident of this city, but he is very lonely and doesn't like to chat with others. It is said that his wife was bitten to death by zombies. He is a poor man..." The old woman felt sad for Eddie. Suwan and Zoe winked at each other and walked a few steps to the side with her.

"That person smells like a zombie," Suwan whispered to Zoe.

Zoe glanced toward Eddie's house in surprise, and seeing Suwan was certain that she felt just as uneasy as Suwan did.

"Does he look like he's been bitten?" Zoe asked worriedly. If the man had been bitten by a zombie, where did the zombie come from? Would it be a chain reaction? The thought frightened Zoe. If an irreversible zombie outbreak occurred in this city and it became the next Cole City, what would happen to the residents? They finally felt safe.

"Not like it," Suwan recalled. The man had a gray face and dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he just didn't get enough rest. Suwan couldn't be sure if he was bitten by a zombie, but Suwan was sure that he had that disgusting zombie smell on him, which was enough to make Suwan uneasy.

"We should report the situation to the soldiers and let them check it out," Zoe chose to believe Suwan. She immediately made a judgment, but Suwan stopped her. Most of the city residents had no good feelings towards Belster, and had completely forgotten that they were rescued by the trainees at all costs, and now they were protected by the trainees. Because they were in a safe city, they hated the trainees, and Suwan was dissatisfied with this. They worked so hard to rescue the survivors to a safe city, but they didn't even get the most basic gratitude and respect.

Suwan wanted these people to take a good look at who was silently protecting and paying for their safety now.

"What?" Zoe didn't understand why Suwan stopped her from going to the soldiers.

"I'm just guessing that if things aren't what I think they are, people here will hate the trainees even more."

"So..." Zoe understood immediately and said disapprovingly: "You want to solve it yourself? It might be dangerous."

"I'm just going to check it out. There won't be any danger. Even if there is a problem, I will find a way to get out and seek help from the soldiers. Of course it would be better if there is no problem," Suwan said to Zoe, obviously having made up his mind.

"But what if there is a problem!" Zoe argued with Suwan helplessly. What was even more helpless was that she knew she couldn't persuade Suwan. Suwan was a Belster, representing a strong force. Strong people are often overconfident. Suwan was too independent and too self-centered. This was her character flaw, or the character flaw of every student. She only considered feasibility when doing things, and was not used to considering Zoe's feelings.

"I faced so many zombies in Cole City, but I am still standing here now, aren't I?" Suwan said jokingly, wanting to reassure Zoe. Unexpectedly, Zoe's face turned pale. She grabbed Suwan's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I worry about you every day, so don't joke about this."

Of course, going to rescue people means at least facing zombies, which is enough to make Zoe panic. In addition, Instructor Will also said that they encountered Al-Qaeda. Because they didn't know when they would arrive here, Zoe was even careful when she slept, for fear that she would not be the first to know their news in the middle of the night. The two rescue teams that came back earlier than Suwan's team had some casualties, which made Zoe even more worried. Suwan didn't know this, and Zoe didn't dare to ask. Suwan said it so casually himself. She was almost scared to tears by Suwan's joke. Suwan realized Zoe's uneasiness and felt a little touched. He gently patted Zoe's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, I promise there will be no problem."

Zoe lowered her head in frustration and said sullenly, "I don't believe your promise." She did not try to persuade Suwan again, but said, "I'll go with you."

Suwan immediately disagreed: "It may be dangerous, you stay here!"

"You know that too!" Zoe was a little angry. She was so stubborn that she held Suwan tightly and refused to let go: "If you don't take me with you, I won't let you go. Don't even think about leaving me behind!"

Suwan was helpless. She wanted to do something serious. What was it like to fight with Zoe on the street? But Zoe didn't feel ashamed. She held Suwan and refused to let go. Suwan couldn't forcefully break free from her, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.

"Let me make it clear first, this is not a game," Suwan said seriously, "You must obey me in everything. If there is any danger, I will deal with Eddie, and you just need to protect yourself. Got it?"

"No problem, sir!" Zoe almost saluted Suwan to express her submissive attitude: "I promise there will be no problem!" She replied to Suwan with what Suwan just said.

Suwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The old lady saw Suwan and Zoe whispering to each other and thought they were talking about love. She understood and moved away. When she saw Suwan and Zoe agreed to go to Eddie's house, she chased them and asked, "Are you going to find Eddie?"

The old woman was so curious that Suwan had no choice but to say, "Yes, go see him. You said he was lonely."

"Oh, his wife has become a zombie, he must be very sad, you are all lovely girls, you should go see him, but I am afraid he will be more sad to see you loving each other," the old woman nagging, too enthusiastic, Suwan can't say it too directly, only to coax her back to the house before going to Eddie's house with Zoe. Suwan touched her pockets as she walked, and then she was disappointed, because she relaxed her vigilance in the safe city, she didn't bring any weapons, all left in the hotel, it was much more difficult to deal with the zombies with her bare hands, Suwan warned herself in her heart not to lose her vigilance next time. When Zoe looked at Suwan, Suwan calmly pressed his empty trouser pockets again, as if there were really some weapons hidden in the trouser pockets, Zoe didn't doubt it at all.

There are troops stationed near this city. After the arrival of the troops, they cleansed the city and eliminated all the zombies, making this city a safe city that the survivors in nearby towns yearn for. Suwan has no idea how many living people are left in the city after the cleansing. Everyone who survived is lucky enough.

Eddie was lucky enough, but he shouldn't have the stench of zombies on him, that was the smell of death.

Suwan and Zoe walked to Eddie's house. Zoe was a little overwhelmed and asked Suwan quietly, "What should we do? Break in or knock on the door?"

The windows of Eddie's house were covered with thick curtains so that people couldn't see what was going on inside. This was a bit weird and reminded Zoe of vampires. Zoe became even more uneasy.

Suwan gestured for Zoe to be quiet. She pressed against the door to listen to the noise inside, but there was no sound in the room.

This was really weird, why did Eddie let the curtains cover the windows, and if he had a secret, why was there no sound from inside?

But Suwan was sure that he did smell the scent of zombies on Eddie. This shouldn't happen. He shouldn't have the opportunity to come into contact with zombies. If he did, that zombie would be a hidden danger to everyone else in the city.

Suwan tried to turn the doorknob but failed as the door was locked. Suwan lowered his head and looked around on the ground, pulling out a small wire from the dirt. There were some small things in the dirt that were often overlooked.

Under Zoe's cover, Suwan inserted the wire into the door lock and twisted it a few times. With a "click", the door lock was poked open. Zoe's eyes widened in surprise, and Suwan raised his eyebrows at her proudly. Belster's students are not only good at holding guns, but also some small tricks.

Suwan did not go in immediately, but held the door handle to prevent the door from opening immediately. He maintained that posture and waited for a while. There was still no sound from inside the house. Suwan pushed the door open and went in sideways. Zoe looked back nervously to see if anyone noticed her and Suwan's little action, and followed in.

The door was closed softly again.
