Chapter 99,Part 2: Save the apocalypse (5.2)
It wasn’t until eleven o’clock at night that everyone finished topping up the fuel and carried away all the supplies that they could take. It was currently the end of August and about to enter early autumn. Although it was still very hot in the daytime, the nights were at least a little cooler, so they could still sleep quite comfortably. In fact, everyone slept pretty well. After all, they had rushed about for an entire day and also had a rare good meal at night. After eating and drinking their fill, they would naturally have a nice sleep.
Each car sent one person to keep watch at night. This wasn’t a difficult job, so the ordinary people in the five cars all came up. Initially, the people in the minivan planned to let Hu Hong keep guard, but Liu Xiao Shuang, the 18 year old girl in the car, took the initiative to take over the night watch. She was a very observant and sensitive person. She could sense that the others didn’t particularly like the people in her car, so she needed to quickly express her attitude and position. If she could break away from Hu Tian’s family and leave with any of the other four cars, then that would be the best.
So, Liu Xiao Shuang tried to get closer to Mao Gan Cao and Song Qiang who were also on night watch.
Mao Gan Cao was on Ren Zhu’s side, and Song Qiang was from Liu Ming Qing’s car. One of them was very good looking, while the other was strong and reliable. Who knows how much better they were compared to Hu Tian. Unfortunately, Mao Gan Cao was clearly more interested in studying the slingshot that Jin Yu gave him. As a young pretty lady, Liu Xiao Shuang’s seduction really didn’t have much use. Song Qiang however wasn’t a naive and ignorant youth. He raised an eyebrow as he looked at Liu Xiao Shuang and couldn’t help but sneer. With this kind of woman, even if someone handed him a dozen of them, he wouldn’t want them. It wasn’t that he needed to find someone who was extremely self-reliant and capable like Sister Yun, but if he could only find a parasite that clings to him and sucks his blood, he might as well be gay.
Liu Xiao Shuang was busy the entire night, but she couldn’t succeed in seducing her target. Instead, the other people taking the night watch regarded her with disdain. In desperation, she could only continue to follow Hu Tian’s family the next day. When she got onto their car, her expression was so reluctant that everyone was speechless. Zhou Yun was practically about to roll her eyes into the sky. Those who didn’t know the situation would have thought that this girl was forcibly taken by the Hu family!
Because they were setting off together and their destination was also the same, the five cars formed a small motorcade and headed towards Yuan City. The highway wasn’t too damaged, but even so, the journey was still extremely challenging — there were way too many cars that had crashed on the road, some even piled up in multi-car collisions. When they ran into this kind of situation, everyone could only get out and push these cars to the side, clearing a part of the road so that they could continue on their journey. In addition, there were also sections of the road that were on fire or about to break, so it was very dangerous for the cars to drive over them.
They continued driving like this for 3 hours, and by 10 o’clock in the morning, the motorcade had only travelled 200 or so kilometres. They were still at least 400 kilometres from Yuan City.
“Boss, at this rate, we’ll probably reach Yuan City base at 5 or 6 in the afternoon, right?” Mao Gan Cao yawned, feeling a little dispirited.
Ren Zhu nodded: “We can reach Yuan City in the afternoon before it gets dark. But even though we’ve been lucky and smooth sailing so far, I don’t think it’ll last.”
Hearing this, Mao Gan Cao immediately straightened up: “Dage, don’t scare me ah! I don’t have much courage! So far, we’ve pushed cars aside 5 times and chopped down hundreds of zombies. If this is still considered smooth sailing, then what kind of situation would be worse ah?! Don’t tell me we’ll run into third level zombies?! But currently, the most powerful zombie is also just third level and there aren’t many of them. How can we possibly run into one?”
Before Mao Gan Cao could finish speaking, Gou Jian Fei directly stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth. Mao Gan Cao opened his cat eyes wide and tried hard to glare at the stupid dog behind him, but he found that the stupid dog was staring at him with even bigger eyes!
“Shut your crow's beak! Don’t you know that you’re setting up a death flag?! Pei pei pei! Children’s words carry no harm, let the gale blow it away! We definitely won’t run into a third level zombie! It’s not like we’re the Saviour; we don’t need to run into such a big enemy!”
Hearing this, Mao Gan Cao also knew that he had said something wrong, but he still fiercely rolled his eyes. However, afterwards, he kept nervously looking left and right at the situation outside the window, afraid that some big zombie would appear.
After that, the cars continued to advance peacefully for another three hours. At this moment, it was already past one in the afternoon and everyone was feeling a little tired. There just happened to be a rest stop ahead of them, so after discussing for a moment, everyone decided to head to that rest stop. In passing, they could also see if there was anything good to take.
It was just that when the cars were just about to reach the rest stop, they saw a large swarm of zombies, as well as a group of crying and shouting teenagers surrounded in the middle.
“Oh my God! Why are there so many zombies!! Hurry up and turn back! Let’s leave this place!!”
“What the hell is going on with that school bus? Why did they drive into the middle of a zombie group?”
Everyone inside the five cars was shocked and conflicted by this scene. Obviously there were more than a dozen crying youths in the middle of the zombies waiting and hoping that someone would save them. But whatever the case, there were still 7 or 8 hundred zombies. At this moment, their motorcade still hadn’t entered the zombies’ attack range. As long as they turned around and left, they should be able to avoid a confrontation with the zombies. However, if they did this, they would be watching others die without doing anything.
Ren Zhu’s car however didn’t feel conflicted at all. They had already agreed before starting this journey that if they saw someone who needed help, then they would do their best to save them. Now that they came across this matter, they would naturally lend a hand.
“Let’s stop the car to the side and lock it up. You two put on protective clothing and masks. Take the powerful home-made metal slingshots that Jin Yu gave you. We’re going out to save people.”
Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei took a deep breath. “Dage, don’t worry! We will definitely work hard to save them!”
Ren Zhu turned to look at them and nodded seriously: “Believe in yourself. You guys are the best, the most agile and the most powerful!”
[Ding. The host has triggered the class teacher’s loving encouragement skill (level 7): For one hour, the current targets Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei: Intelligence +50, physical strength +100, mental strength +100. Additional vitality effect.]
Then, under the shocked gazes of the people in the other four cars, Ren Zhu and the two youths rushed towards the zombies. Although the number of zombies was tens or even hundreds of times more than them, this didn’t affect their determination to save people.
“Tsk, people like us who have been soldiers still aren’t as brave as a few youths.” Seeing Ren Zhu’s trio run out, Song Qiang clicked his tongue. Without saying anything further, he opened the door and got off the car. Whatever the case, the youths surrounded by the zombies were the future of this country. His sense of responsibility didn’t allow him to run away from this battle.
Consequently, the eight people in the two off-road vehicles also got off. When Ren Zhu saw Liu Ming Qing and the others, he revealed a smile and directly gave them his loving encouragement: “Jiayou! You guys are the best! You can definitely beat this group of zombies until they’re scared witless!”
Liu Ming Qing and the others laughed. Then, the 11 of them worked together and killed the zombies from the outside in, forming a bloody path through the zombie circle. At this moment, Fatty Jin also couldn’t bear it anymore. He wanted to get off the car, but looking back at his wife, child and nephew, he eventually gritted his teeth and didn’t go. However, when he saw the door of the minivan suddenly open and Hu Tian and that fat youth sneaking down to do something to the 3 off-road vehicles, Fatty Jin sneered.
When Hu Tian was just about to smash the glass of Ren Zhu’s Hummer with a stone, Fatty Jin stepped forward and sent a punch: “Brat! The others are saving people, but you’re here sneaking around. Laozi is not asking you to also be a hero, but can you not fucking be a bastard?!”
Hu Tian looked extremely wretched from this punch and cursed as he ran back. Fatty Jin decided to stay here and guard the cars of those 11 people while also seeing whether Hu Hong would come out. However, seeing that Hu Hong still didn’t make a move after a long while, Fatty Jin finally let out a sigh of relief.
And at this moment, Ren Zhu and the others had already arrived at the yellow school bus in the middle. Facing the frightened youths who were crying and shouting inside, Ren Zhu roared: “Shut up! Don’t cry!”
The noise on the bus paused and all the youths inside were in disbelief. They leaned against the window to look at the people who came to save them.
“What’s the use in crying right now?! Pick up all the weapons around you! Tell me why your bus can’t move! Count exactly how many people are on this bus! Can anyone drive? If you don’t want to die then hurry up and get moving! We don’t save useless baggage!”
Teacher Ren’s words were like a sudden clap of thunder, directly shaking up the crying students. Everyone on the bus started to get busy and move about. Soon, a tall youth replied:
“Teacher! There are 15 people in total on this bus! The youngest is 12 and the oldest is 18! Our bus driver uncle is dead. The bus stopped moving because we ran out of fuel! Teacher, what should we do now?!”
Ren Zhu nodded: “Pick a few strong ones among you to get off and refuel the bus! The others can also get off and help make an opening beside the bus’ fuel tank!”
Consequently, the students who had just been crying non-stop instantly became orderly. Although there was still fear and sadness on their faces, they no longer had the despair they had before.
