"Zhen Fu, these cars are out of gas. It seems like the gas tank of this tanker is also empty."
"Check that tanker again. Is there any gas in its fuel tank?"
Soon after, a joyful reply came, "Zhen Fu, there's actually still gas inside."
Zhen Fu nodded, his eyes filled with the light of wisdom, "Then just drive the tanker away!"
That Zhen Fu checked the time, looking a bit anxious.
After all, the Salvation Army was behind them, not far away.
So he urged everyone on.
Behind the supermarket, Li Yu and the others were inside, listening to these people outside talking about siphoning the gas from their tanker's fuel tank. They couldn't stand still.
Especially Li Tie, he always had an extremely poor impression of these superstitious people.
To kill or not to kill?
Although these people hadn't directly clashed with them, they were now trying to take their gas.
If Li Yu and the others showed themselves, they would inevitably be discovered. Since they would be discovered, and they already disliked them, why not kill them?
Kill! They said the Salvation Army behind them seemed to be coming soon. And it was raining now, making the zombies very agitated. What a hassle.
Don't kill! They want to take their tanker.
Tell them the tanker is theirs? The base isn't far from here, and if they were to appear, what if those people started arguing? Wouldn't they still have to kill them then?
In this apocalypse, Li Yu didn't like leaving any future trouble, nor did he like being targeted. Once targeted, it made him very uncomfortable.
Looking at Li Tie, Li Yu took out his walkie-talkie, preparing to talk to Ding Jiu, who was on the opposite rooftop.
But just then, Ding Jiu's voice came through the walkie-talkie's earpiece, "Mr. Li, a few more cars have come from the south, driving very fast!"
Li Yu paused, then said, "Maintain observation, maintain concealment."
Then he turned his head, Li Tie, Li Yuan, and the others were all staring at him, waiting for his next instructions.
It wasn't Li Yu's nature to suffer losses.
Li Yu shook his head, then said to them, "Someone's coming. Let's wait a bit longer."
Less than a minute later, Li Yu heard the roaring sound of a car, a very loud sound.
It seemed as if they weren't afraid of attracting zombies at all. Li Yu cursed inwardly.
Idiot.
It was raining, and although the rain wasn't heavy, many zombies had already come out. Such a loud noise would definitely attract zombies.
Immediately after, a chaotic commotion came from outside.
"Zhen Fu, they're here."
"Quickly, get in the car, quick!"
Before they could get in the car and leave, an extremely arrogant voice was heard: "Running? Still running. You've developed followers all the way to our side. If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. Brother Gen has spoken, you must die."
Then he said to the person next to him, "Block them, don't let any of them escape."
The group that had arrived at the Gas Station first was a bit flustered. Zhen Fu remained calm and composed, with a compassionate expression: "You don't know what you're doing. I forgive you, but if you remain stubborn, God will surely punish you."
"Hahahahaha, come on. I'd like to be punished..." That arrogant voice came again, and before he could finish, immediately after.
Boom!
A clap of thunder.
"Uh..." The owner of that arrogant voice was instantly choked by the thunder.
But after a few seconds, seeing no more thunder, he was a bit suspicious, but the madness in his eyes remained, and he laughed loudly, "That was just a coincidence. Now, you're dead!"
"Kill them all," the man commanded.
Immediately after, the people next to him charged forward.
But Zhen Fu's people were also fearless in death. In their hearts, the concept of life and death had long ceased to exist. They believed that even with the death of the flesh, Zhen Fu would allow their souls to enter heaven.
They were sacrificing themselves for the great Kingdom of God, so death was a supreme glory to them.
"Protect Zhen Fu!" the man with the steady voice shouted loudly.
The surrounding believers, holding their weapons, began to gather around Zhen Fu, fiercely resisting the Salvation Army's people.
However, the Salvation Army's people were mostly young, strong men, and there were more of them. Their weapons were also better than theirs.
So far, no guns had appeared.
Li Yu slightly poked his head out and saw that there were about 50 people on the Salvation Army's side, all looking robust.
On Zhen Fu's side, excluding children, there were both men and women, and even some elderly people. Although they showed no fear, their combat power was lower than the other side, and their numbers were only half of the Salvation Army's.
The battle between the two sides was one-sided.
Li Yu glanced, his eyes slightly cold, and quickly withdrew his gaze, telling Li Yuan and the others next to him to hide well and not make any noise.
This group of people was quite ruthless in their actions, and it looked like this wasn't their first massacre.
Compared to Manager Zhou and the others Li Yu had encountered before, this group clearly had higher organizational discipline and showed no mercy when killing people.
The rain drizzled, and soon, the sounds from that side gradually faded.
And on the National Highway, the roar of zombies could be heard.
"Leader, the zombies are coming, and it looks like a lot of them!"
"Damn it, cut off Zhen Fu's head and take it to Brother Gen. Quick! Get out of here!" the arrogant man said.
Li Yu, behind them, felt a bit annoyed.
Damn it, going out to get some gas and running into this mess.
If it were normal, he wouldn't mind watching the two sides fight, like dogs biting dogs.
But now, these people were making too much noise, attracting all the zombies.
If they went out now to deal with the Salvation Army, they would also have to guard against the incoming zombies.
Forget it!
Li Yu said to Li Tie and the others next to him, "Climb over the wall and go to the house behind. Let's hide for a bit."
Although they had guns, in the apocalypse, it was best to conserve bullets unless necessary.
If they were to take out their guns now and go out to deal with the Salvation Army, in this rain, and also having to resist zombies, it would probably be difficult to eliminate all of the Salvation Army.
The key was not knowing if those so-called Salvation Army members had guns.
Li Yu didn't like doing things he wasn't confident about!
There were fewer people brought out this time, so it was better to be cautious first.
So, the few of them retreated, trying to keep their movements as quiet as possible.
Under the cover of that group of zombies, even if Li Yu made a sound, the Salvation Army probably wouldn't hear it.
Li Yu and the others successfully climbed over the wall, then ran to the house behind, firmly closed the door, and then ran to the window on the third floor rooftop to continue observing the Salvation Army.
They saw the leader of that group holding a spherical object, then directly got into the car and was about to start the vehicle.
There were many zombies on the National Highway, and the leader probably had a headache, shouting, "Quickly, get in the car! Retreat!"
But at this moment, the zombies had already surrounded them, from both front and back. Especially after smelling the bodies on the ground of the Gas Station, they became exceptionally agitated. In the rain, the zombies' agility and strength had greatly increased.
"Xiao Mao, your team is responsible for opening a path," the leader said to the person driving a truck.
That person nodded, appearing somewhat reluctant, but dared not raise any questions or resistance.
Boom!
The truck started and directly charged into the zombie horde. Under the truck's crushing, a path appeared in the middle. The vehicles behind followed closely.
Clang!
That truck, facing the most zombies, had its front axle somewhat deformed from the impact. This wasn't a big problem. The most troublesome thing was a zombie climbing onto the windshield!
This was the lead car, clearing the way.
However, the zombies were surrounding them from all directions.
Zombies were also surrounding them from behind.
The last car in the convoy was now surrounded by many zombies, densely packed, as if Ants were carrying bodies. It made one's heart tremble just to look at it.
