You Think This Is a Video Game?

Li Chen gave Ping Tou a faint glance.

His answer was concise.

"Don't stop."

"Fuck! Aren't you here to save people? Are you just going to watch all these humans die?"

"Are you even human?"

"They're all members of the same race. Can you really bear to watch them die in the jaws of zombies?"

Ping Tou flew into a rage.

Clearly, Li Chen was the leader of this team.

Without Li Chen's command, the bus would never stop!

Ping Tou stepped forward.

He was trying to restrain Li Chen and force the bus to stop.

But unfortunately.

Li Chen moved faster and dodged aside.

"Cause any more trouble, and I'll throw you off with them!"

Li Chen's voice was icy, as though dozens of air conditioners had been turned on in the middle of June, making everyone shiver.

There was not the slightest room for negotiation.

A horde of zombies had already been following behind the bus.

Together with the ones drawn in by those thirty humans, they formed a zombie tide in an instant.

Before long.

Those thirty humans were swallowed by the horde.

Blood and severed limbs flew everywhere!

The air was thick with the stench of blood!

Two powerfully built men were chasing after the bus and had barely managed to stay alive.

But their faces were pale.

They would likely run out of strength soon and be caught by the zombie horde.

The other researchers looked at the horrific scene behind the bus and began speaking up.

"Maybe we should stop! They're people too!"

"Exactly! You came to save people in the first place. What's wrong with stopping for a moment?"

Li Chen's gaze swept across the faces of several researchers inside the bus.

He gave a cold laugh!

"Are you sure you want me to stop?"

Li Chen pointed outside.

Behind the bus, a vast mass of zombies was following them.

If not for the Android Warriors' suppressing fire.

Those zombies would have already climbed into the bus and feasted!

If they really stopped...

"But you can't just stand by and let them die! They're our fellow countrymen!"

Ping Tou did not even have the courage to look at the zombies. With a stiff neck, he continued arguing with Li Chen.

"Heh, I only save talented people."

"What's the point of saving a bunch of trash? They can't carry a load or lift a thing, can't farm, and all their education has gone to the dogs."

"Sorry, but the Rescue Shelter has limited resources. I can only save as many talented people as possible, ensuring the continuation of our nation—and even humanity."

"As for that trash, I can't afford to save them."

"And there's no need to!"

Li Chen's voice was utterly indifferent.

As if he were merely discussing what to eat for lunch.

Ping Tou was intimidated by Li Chen's imposing manner.

After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and said.

"But can't you just stop and take them somewhere safe?"

"You don't even have to bring them all back to your shelter."

Li Chen was so angry he laughed.

Pointing at the relentless zombies behind them, he demanded, "Are you sure we can stop?"

"These zombies aren't slow! What if they catch up to us?"

"You think this is a video game? Guns and ammunition aren't unlimited."

Ping Tou was rendered speechless by the retort.

Yet his expression remained unpleasant.

Clearly, he was still dissatisfied with Li Chen's refusal to save people.

As they passed a corner.

Ning Jing suddenly became nervous.

Grabbing the hem of Li Chen's clothes, she said, "Th-that's a kindergarten! Can you..."

Could he stop the bus?

Ning Jing did not dare say the rest.

Outside the kindergarten, many zombies had already surrounded the building.

Two girls who looked like teachers were bracing their backs against the door, resisting the zombies' assault.

The children were all curled up in the corner.

Though tears hung on their young faces, they kept their mouths tightly shut, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing this, Ping Tou sneered. "Hah, someone like him, how could he possibly..."

"Stop the bus!"

Before Ping Tou could finish, Li Chen had already issued the order.

The bus stopped in front of the kindergarten.

The Android Warriors raised their guns.

Those in the rear provided covering fire for those in front.

They forcibly cleared a path at the kindergarten entrance!

"Are you the Rescue Force?"

The two young teachers had long since reached their limit and were relying entirely on willpower to hold on.

When they saw Li Chen and the others arrive, they immediately collapsed to the ground, overjoyed!

"That's right. I'm here to save you."

"Quick, bring the children onto the bus."

Li Chen nodded, then stepped forward to help open the kindergarten gate.

The zombies that had been chasing the bus quickly caught up.

Twenty Android Warriors formed a perimeter around the bus, continuously shooting zombies to keep those inside safe.

Seeing this.

The two female teachers also forced themselves to keep going and hurriedly organized the children to board the bus.

There were two teachers, one principal, and thirty children in this kindergarten.

When the virus outbreak began, the principal had fled on his own long ago.

Sixteen children had also been picked up by their parents.

As for the remaining fourteen children, their parents were likely unable to protect themselves—or perhaps had already died.

After confirming that every child had boarded the bus.

Li Chen waved his hand.

The Android Warriors immediately pulled back their firepower and returned to the bus together.

Vroom—

The Android driver slammed on the accelerator.

The bus quickly pulled away from the zombies!

"Didn't you say saving trash was a waste of resources?" Ping Tou asked in astonishment.

Li Chen looked at him and spoke in a deep voice.

"Children are the hope of the future, not trash."

"They possess limitless potential."

The researchers who had been dissatisfied with Li Chen for refusing to save people.

Now all had red-rimmed eyes!

If this had been before the apocalypse.

These researchers might have condemned Li Chen.

But after witnessing so many tragedies along the way, they all chose silence.

Even Ping Tou wore a thoughtful expression.

The journey ahead went much more smoothly.

In the early stages of the apocalypse.

The zombies' mobility was greatly restricted.

And no true zombie tides had formed yet.

The bus was like a harvester, leaving fallen zombies everywhere it went.

With Noah's real-time tracking.

Li Chen quickly picked up the remaining researchers.

Besides the researchers, Li Chen also rescued other people along the way.

They included children, teachers, and skilled workers such as plumbers and electricians.

The sixty-seat bus was now packed full.

Some seats even had to fit two people to accommodate everyone.

Everyone who boarded the bus was first relieved, then plunged into endless grief.

Those without any useful skills were all denied entry.

No matter how they blocked the bus, cried for help, or cursed.

Li Chen did not even spare them a glance!

Someone on the bus raised doubts, but Li Chen gave only one response.

"You can get off and give your seat to him."

Everyone on the bus gained a new understanding of Li Chen's cold-bloodedness.

"Noah, report the battle losses."

Li Chen said calmly.

"A total of twenty warriors were deployed. No casualties."

"Gun and ammunition consumption stands at 67%, enough to support the return to the Rescue Shelter."

"Eighteen surviving researchers in Donghai City have all been rescued. The Rescue Mission is complete!"

At the same time, Noah projected a map of Donghai City.

The once entirely green Donghai City was now covered in red dots.

Every red dot represented a living human who had turned into a zombie!
