Chapter 8
Yao Zheng’s words caused everyone in the room to discuss.
Feng Qin said, “Of course. Our country’s military is still awesome!”
Wang Gang: “I’ve seen many novels and movies about Resident Evil in the past. The content is pure nonsense! How can a body of flesh and blood withstand a torrent of steel? How can it withstand a missile or nuclear bomb? With the military’s help, this matter will definitely be resolved.”
Wei Kai: “So are we going to wait like this? Wait for the military to save us? Or should we run out and meet up with the military?”
Wei Kai’s words made everyone look up at Wang Sheng.
He was the boss here. He had the final say.
Wang Sheng fell silent.
He didn’t actually live in this building. He wasn’t a tenant. He’d been through hell and back, and he’d been deeply affected by the zombies.
They were extremely athletic! They ran fast and were strong! All of them were no different from Superman.
Moreover, Wang Sheng was a fake military fan. He knew very well that in the streets of the city, the military’s patriotism could not help at all.
With the strength and infectiousness of zombies, if the military engaged in street battles with them, it would be like carrying lanterns in the toilet—they were courting death!
To be fair, Wang Sheng felt that the military might not be able to resolve this situation.
But then again…
If the military couldn’t solve the problem, who could? Who could save them?
There was no food and the environment was harsh.
If he continued to wait, he would still die.
If he did not fight while he still had strength and the military could not deal with the zombies, he would really be dead.
He stared out the window.
The sound of artillery fire in the distance was extremely loud, attracting all the zombies around.
This scene caused Wang Sheng to make a decision.
“Let’s go and meet up with the military!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other six people did not respond…
Everyone just looked at each other. They looked at each other, clearly not agreeing with Wang Sheng’s decision.
Fan Huiling said shakily as she pressed the big ball against Wang Sheng’s arm.
“Brother Wang, can’t we wait for the military to come and save us?”
Although Wang Sheng was burly, he was meticulous.
He could tell that Fan Huiling’s words also represented what the others thought.
Left with no choice, Wang Sheng explained, “Firstly, the military might just be passing by. If we don’t seize the opportunity to meet up with the military, the military might leave.”
This reason made everyone look at each other, but they admitted in their hearts that there was indeed such a possibility.
“Secondly, the military has already lured away most of the zombies. It’s not dangerous to go out now. Besides, if the military doesn’t come to save us, or they might not even be able to save us, it’s good for us to take this opportunity to go out and find some supplies.”
With that, Wang Sheng clapped his hands gently and encouraged, “I’ll lead the way later. If there’s any danger, I’ll go up first. You guys follow behind me. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
It was unavoidable to have misgivings, but Wang Sheng had already made himself clear. After everyone looked at each other, they reluctantly nodded.
Five men and two women, the seven young adults, opened the door uneasily or reluctantly and walked out of the safe house they had been staying within for two and a half days.
…
Everything was as Wang Sheng had expected.
The zombies had been lured away by the military.
He walked out of the room and stepped onto the stairs. There were bloodstains and broken limbs everywhere he looked, but there were no nightmarish zombies.
The seven of them went from nauseous retching at first to getting used to it.
From being cautious at the beginning, they slowly sped up.
Humans were very adaptable.
When they arrived at the street and saw the small shop, they swallowed their saliva but suppressed their hunger. They hurried towards the source of the roaring sound. Food and water were important, but as long as they caught a ride with the military, these were not problems.
They could still differentiate between priorities.
In the distance, the sound of gunfire gradually faded, just like the gradually sinking hearts of everyone.
Unknowingly, they quickened their pace and soon arrived at the edge of the battlefield.
Wang Sheng, who was in the lead, instantly stopped in his tracks.
…
The scene before them caused the pupils of Wang Sheng and the others to constrict.
Ahead, at a crossroads.
The four armored vehicles formed a circle, looking solid and immovable.
However, the faint screams and bites coming from inside the circle had already indicated the outcome.
The sound of gunfire had long since subsided.
The densely packed zombies were like vultures that had found food. They surrounded the armored vehicle in the center with three layers inside and three layers outside.
The zombies clung to each other and stepped on each other. The height had long passed the armored vehicle’s defense line. Through the gaps between the zombies, one could vaguely see the driver of the armored vehicle, who had already become a zombie, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws in the cockpit!
Wang Sheng suddenly waved at the people behind him.
It meant: “Don’t make a sound. Hurry up and retreat…”
However, how could a team that had only interacted for two and a half days have such tacit understanding?!
A deafening scream instantly resounded through the sky.
However, after seeing such a huge number of zombies and seeing with her own eyes that the military could not defeat the zombies, Liu Aiyuan’s psychological defense collapsed again…
“F*ck!”
Wang Sheng cursed angrily and turned to run without another word.
At the same time, the zombies were alarmed by the screams and turned to look at Wang Sheng and the others.
Countless pale eyes seemed to drag everyone into hell…
Other than Wang Sheng, the other six people seemed to have been immobilized and could not move their legs at all.
“Run! Run! Hurry!”
Wang Sheng was quite loyal. As soon as he turned around, he immediately shouted to wake everyone up… However, he did not know that his shout had sent him to hell.
A leg suddenly stretched out, and Wang Sheng tripped on the spot.
This threw Wang Sheng off balance.
When he looked up again, he saw that Liu Aiyuan, who had caused the tragedy, had already broken out of her trance. She glanced at him viciously and ran away like a rabbit.
“Liu Aiyuan, you’ve harmed me!”
Wang Sheng roared angrily. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt a huge force surging behind him.
A zombie had already jumped three meters and was riding on Wang Sheng’s back.
“Rip.”
“Ah!!”
The blood gradually rose.
With just one bite, half of Wang Sheng’s neck was bitten off.
And the time it took for a corpse to transform was 10 seconds.
In these ten seconds, people were still human and a prey for the zombies.
The extremely fast zombies instantly pounced on Wang Sheng. The smell of blood made the zombies stack up on Wang Sheng’s body.
In addition, Liu Aiyuan and the other six had already run a certain distance away, so only a small number of zombies continued to chase after Liu Aiyuan and the others.
When Liu Aiyuan turned around and saw this scene, she felt relieved that she had taken revenge. “Who asked you to be fierce! How dare you be fierce to a woman when you have some strength! Are you still fierce now?!”
She made up her mind.
She secretly signaled to Yao Zheng, Feng Qin, Wang Gang, and Wei De. After a moment of hesitation, the four men revealed fierce expressions.
Yao Zheng grabbed Fan Huiling’s collar and pulled her to the ground.
Feng Qin, who was running behind Fan Huiling, stepped on her stomach, causing her to arch her back and lose the ability to get up quickly.
Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
Looking at the other five people fleeing for their lives, Fan Huiling was filled with questions… However, before she could say anything else, the zombies that were still chasing behind her had already swarmed forward and enjoyed the feast.
From beginning to end, she did not utter a word.
…
With Wang Sheng and Fan Huiling as scapegoats, Liu Aiyuan and the others finally ran to an alley without zombies.
They stood rooted to the ground, panting heavily. The five of them looked at each other. Liu Aiyuan coughed lightly and smiled brightly.
“Thank you, brothers, for helping me.”
Yao Zheng placed his hands on his knees and panted as he reluctantly waved his hand. “I’ve also been unhappy with Wang Sheng for a long time. He wants to be the boss just because he has the strength. Who still competes in strength these days? He has to rely on his brain!”
As he spoke, he propped himself up and looked at the other three men.
“So Little Yuan, these three are…”
It was not difficult to tell from his words that Yao Zheng and Liu Aiyuan knew each other long ago.
This question made Liu Aiyuan smile shyly.
“Didn’t I tell you a few days ago? Come to my house and play some games that you haven’t played before… These are…”
“Oh~~”
The remaining four men looked enlightened at the same time and smiled wretchedly at each other. Everything was understood without words.
Liu Aiyuan continued, “Brothers, you will have plenty of time to get to know each other in the future. Let’s settle our food and drinks first before finding a safe place.”
“When everything is settled, let’s ~”
Her words were most seductive when she did not finish the sentence.
In addition, although she had not washed up for two days, Liu Aiyuan’s foundation was good to begin with. Coupled with her charming expression, the four men were instantly aroused. Even the apocalypse was not as scary.
Looking at the few of them who were energized and motivated instantly, Liu Aiyuan’s smile did not change, but a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
“Heh, man.”
