Chapter 338: Chapter 116 In Front of People, A Saint? No, I Am Just an Ordinary Citizen_4

Ma Weiyan swore on his honor, and then hurriedly took a few drags, leaving just one or two for him.

"Brother Ma, you promised to save a few puffs for me," the young man said urgently, as he opened the cargo truck. The supplies stacked in the back weren’t much; given the current number of people, they would last maybe three days at most.

But without any hesitation, he took bread and water to the children on the coach bus.

At that moment.

They stood by the roadside, nibbling on bread, their gazes stretching far into the distance. Everyone wore a somber expression, an indescribable anxiety, reflective of their uncertain future.

"Ah, what should we do from here on out?"

A survivor sighed. Though the bread in hand smelled good, thinking about the apocalypse robbed it of any appeal.

Nearly a hundred people had sheltered in He City, and in their moment of despair, they were rescued by a dozen fully armed soldiers, who took them to a temporary refuge. As they worked hard, the shelter improved gradually, and unless they actively courted death, the likelihood of zombies overrunning it was pretty low.

But who could have predicted.

Suddenly.

A tide of zombies surged in a frenzy, surrounding their shelter, and among the group were many diverse Evolutionary Zombies. It wasn’t long before their sanctuary was breached.

The fully armed soldiers covered their escape, urging them to transfer quickly and flee He City, but in the end, only twenty-one people made it out. Nearly a hundred people in the shelter, reduced to so few by the onslaught of zombies.

The young man loading supplies bitterly accepted the scant remains of the cigarette stub from Ma Weiyan’s hand, taking a hard drag.

"Where to go? Of course, we take it one step at a time. How great it is to be alive, to keep moving forward, live for as long as we can. This apocalypse really sucks, but we’ve still got to live through it."

"I think we should head toward more remote areas. The cities aren’t safe for us. We have a few firearms; we can handle a few zombies. But situations like the one in the city, I’m afraid we can’t handle."

"I think so too."

When they had nothing to do, they would discuss these matters, especially since there were thirteen children with virtually no fighting ability who needed protection. In today’s apocalypse, that’s the terrifying reality, cruel for children.

The survivors who were still alive used to be just ordinary citizens, and to this day, they have managed to preserve the rationale and kindness of ordinary people.

Even in the face of difficulties, they still think about solving problems instead of complaining.

Ma Weiyan said, "Brothers, let’s go. Let’s continue on and find a gas station to fill up the tank first."

"Fill up? Ah, we need to be careful again. Gas stations are the most dangerous. According to the movies I’ve watched, these kinds of places often have zombies lurking around."

The young man with the cigarette butt sighed helplessly. Long journeys were often marred by the hassle of refueling, having to stop, and being exposed, unlike now, where it’s clear whether there are zombies in front or behind.

Ma Weiyan said, "Don’t be such a jinx. Can’t you say something nice? If you were a security guard with that mouth, you’d definitely get fired by the boss."

"Brother Ma, I’m a fresh graduate, here to fire the boss."

Ma Weiyan: ...

...

On the streets.

Lin Fan was constantly leaping across the rooftops of high-rise buildings, looking intently into the distance each time he landed, searching for the two survivor vehicles Han Shuang had mentioned.

"Where could they be?"

He searched meticulously. The buildings in He City were dense and covered a vast area. He continued to jump; with his current points, free movement was natural. Anyone could do it without surprise once they transcended the limits of gravity.

If someone saw what was happening now.

They would surely exclaim in shock.

Wow...

A god!

Moving continuously from one rooftop to another, each time he landed, he would stand at the edge of the roof.

Gaze fixed on the distance to see where those survivors had gone.

Then.

He noticed something in the distance.

Two vehicles.

It must be the survivors Han Shuang had spoken of...

At the gas station.

They encountered zombies but didn’t shoot. Instead, they ran the zombies over with their car, a tactic they often used to ensure safety.

The sound of gunfire could easily attract more zombies and lead to being surrounded by them.

The refueling process was quite safe.

They didn’t run into trouble.

But shortly after leaving, a large group of zombies appeared. These wandering zombies, upon seeing the moving vehicles, charged insanely toward them.

"Damn... damn it."

Ma Weiyan cursed as he floored the gas, crashing through zombies to clear the way for the coach bus following them. The sound of zombies scraping under the car was audible, and their speed was noticeably hindered.

"Crap, I just said there weren’t many zombies in He City, and now my mouth turns out to be the real jinx."

Helpless as he felt, he kept crushing the zombies under the wheels, determined to forge a path.

Qiu Bing looked solemn as zombies frantically clawed at the car. Thankfully, the vehicle had been modified, so it wasn’t easy for the zombies to damage it. The only problem was that the mass of zombies impacted the car’s momentum.

The coach bus following behind, aware of the situation up ahead, had a sense of grave seriousness. Throughout their journey, they had encountered many scenarios, most of which were without incident, but the present challenge was a true test for them.
