#70 - Chapter 70 Missed
On the bus.
Brother Li frantically twisted the car key.
Trying to restart the engine.
His eyes were wide, veins showing on his face, and beads of sweat dripped onto the steering wheel like they were free.
But the bus was uncooperative and still wouldn't start.
The engine made a groaning sound like an old cow.
It just wouldn't work.
The zombies were piling up, already covering the windows!
Soon, no light would be able to penetrate!
Many people inside the bus were desperately holding their heads, huddled in their seats or in the aisle, not even having the courage to look at the zombies.
Only a few survivors had the courage to pick up their weapons and face the zombies.
Waiting for the moment when the bus windows could no longer bear the weight and were broken through, they would fight the zombies with their lives.
Among them were Li Cai and her daughter.
They each held an iron bar and a kitchen knife, watching the zombies outside the window with grim determination.
But their eyes were filled with more despair!
How could they, as humans, break through the encirclement of nearly a hundred zombies!?
There was only despair!
Suddenly—
A burst of high-pitched singing came from outside the bus!
It was a song commonly played during square dancing in peacetime!
It was now playing at an astonishing volume!
Roar!
A zombie turned its head, searching for the source of the sound.
It hadn't walked far when—
Bang!
Its head exploded and it fell to the ground!
More and more zombies were attracted by the high-pitched singing and left the bus.
Only then did the mountain of corpses collapse, and the people inside the bus could see the outside scenery.
They saw a drone, from who knows where, playing music next to the bus!
Slowly luring the zombies away.
They looked further away and saw that many vehicles had stopped there at some point!
In the front row, there were two modified anti-riot vehicles that immediately made people think of the word "mighty"!
Behind them was a long line of heavy trucks and freight trucks that stretched as far as the eye could see!
At this time, people in the front vehicles were shooting at the zombies, and some seemed to be using crossbows and bows and arrows. Some of the fallen zombies had arrows stuck in their heads!
The people inside the bus were stunned.
It was the first time they had seen the power of firearms, and they were also surprised that someone seemed to be saving them!
Some people even laughed and cried with joy!
The opposite firepower didn't stop.
Under their offensive of attracting and eliminating.
The nearly hundred zombies didn't last even two minutes before they all fell on the road.
The bus was really saved.
Many people on the bus hugged each other and cried.
Even Li Cai and Huang Cailan hugged each other tightly, their eyes filled with tears.
This mysterious convoy, with its powerful firepower and exceptionally strong team.
After finishing the extermination of the zombies, those people put away their weapons, shrank back into the vehicles, and then started again, driving in another direction.
As if the slaughter just now had nothing to do with them.
The people on the bus hadn't reacted yet. The group of people who saved them just left like that!?
How could they!
They hadn't thanked them yet!
Also!
They wanted to follow these people!
Brother Li was the fastest to react.
Confirming that the zombies outside were all dead, he boldly opened the car door, got out of the car, and rushed towards the mysterious convoy, shouting loudly halfway:
"Thank you for your help! Are you from an official organization? Can you take us with you?"
The convoy had just started, and the vehicles were all large, so the starting speed was slow, and he really got closer.
But before he could really get close, a man popped out of the window of one of the cars, pointing a gun at him and saying:
"Stop immediately!"
"I'll shoot if you get any closer! We're not official people, just a group of ordinary survivors. We saved you just now because it was our boss's idea. Our team doesn't accept outsiders. You guys find your own way to survive!"
Brother Li saw the gun and slowed down, finally stopping on the road.
He raised his hands and said unwillingly:
"Can we thank your boss in person! We are really very grateful! We want to tell him in person."
What he was thinking was to delay for a while, and even beg the boss he had never met before, to see if there was a chance for them to take them in.
"No need, we still have a mission and need to leave quickly. You guys leave quickly too. There are more zombies on rainy days than on sunny days, so it's best to wait until it's sunny before going out."
The man waved his hand and turned his head to tell the driver to speed up and catch up with the convoy in front.
Brother Li was helpless.
He could only watch as this group of saviors continued to drive past, followed by more heavy trucks, and even two long semi-trailers.
The trailers behind the vehicles were covered with tarpaulins and bulged high, and it was unknown what was hidden inside.
Some of the bolder people from the bus behind also chased after them. Seeing Brother Li standing here, they anxiously asked:
"Brother Li! What's going on with those people!? Why did they run away after saving us? Let's hurry up and follow them!"
Brother Li looked dejected and reluctantly repeated what the person on the other side had said to them.
The few people were silent.
They weren't official people, and they were happy for nothing.
It had been so long since the end of the world, and there had never been any rescue from official people. They thought they had finally waited for it, but it was just a group of survivors passing by from who knows where.
Looking at the convoy in front of them that had all passed by and finally slowly disappeared before their eyes, they felt extremely complicated.
They were both grateful to them for saving themselves and resentful that they didn't take them in.
Sigh.
They could only blame this damn world.
————————————————
At the front of this mysterious convoy, in the mighty anti-riot police car, the walkie-talkie rang with a voice:
"Boss, we've sent them away."
In the passenger seat of the police car, a man with a powerful aura picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Okay, let's continue."
There were two men sitting in the back seat of the police car, and one of them seemed to be unable to hold back and asked the man in the passenger seat:
"President Qin, I'm really curious, why did we save that group of people!?
The man in the passenger seat, known as President Qin, was of course Qin Jin, the leader of the Green Source Base!
He turned his head and glanced at Li Bowen, who was asking the question, and thought for a while and said:
"It's nothing. When I saw that bus being surrounded, I suddenly wanted to do a good deed and save people. I'm not sure myself. Maybe I've killed too many people recently, and I occasionally want to do some good deeds."
"And I don't know why, but I feel that if I don't save that car, I'll regret it."
Li Bowen was even more strange. Those people obviously wanted to follow them, but they were stopped by the boss, who told Liu Wenhao on the heavy truck behind to refuse them.
"Let's leave it at that. We can't save everyone in this world, and some people aren't worth saving. If you want to save, save from the heart, without asking for anything in return, and don't think that the rescuer can care to the end. The end of the world is still long, and they still have to rely on themselves in the future."
Qin Jin sat down, narrowed his eyes, and shrank his body.
He changed to a more comfortable position and lay down, looking at the rain outside the window, pretending to be asleep.
Li Bowen didn't ask any more questions and roughly knew the answer. Maybe it was just a sudden burst of kindness from the boss.
Although he didn't know if he had such a thing.
Sigh.
It's hard to figure out what the boss is thinking, which makes it difficult for them to do things.
According to their recent style, they wouldn't have saved that bus.
It seems that they, as captains, also need to take some psychology lessons in the future. They can't just focus on killing, and they should occasionally learn from the boss to show the necessary kindness, so that their bodies and minds will develop healthily.
Yes.
He thought so.
