Do you think this is playing a game?

Li Chen glanced indifferently at Ping Tou.

His words were concise and to the point.

"Don't stop."

"Damn it! Aren't you here to save people? Now you're just going to watch so many humans die?"

"Are you even human anymore?"

"They're all the same race, can you really bear to watch them die in the mouths of zombies?"

Ping Tou was furious.

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 control Li Chen and force the bus to stop.

But, unfortunately.

Li Chen was faster and dodged directly.

"If you cause any more trouble, I'll throw you off too!"

Li Chen's tone was icy, as if dozens of air conditioners were running in June, making people shiver.

There was no room for negotiation whatsoever.

A group of zombies was already following the bus.

Coupled with the thirty humans they attracted, a zombie horde formed in an instant.

In no time at all.

Those thirty humans were swallowed by the zombie horde.

Limbs and flesh flew everywhere!

The air was filled with a thick smell of blood!

Two sturdy men who were chasing behind the bus were barely unharmed.

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 spoke up one after another.

"Why don't we stop? They're people too!"

"Yeah! You came here to save people, what's wrong with stopping the bus?"

Li Chen's gaze swept over the faces of the researchers in the car.

He let out a cold laugh!

"Are you sure you want me to stop the car?"

Li Chen's finger pointed outside.

All he saw was a massive horde of zombies following behind the bus.

If it weren't for the androids' suppressing fire, these zombies would have already climbed into the car and had a feast!

If they really stopped...

"But you can't just leave them to die! They're our compatriots!"

Ping Tou didn't even have the courage to look at the zombies, his neck stiff as he argued with Li Chen.

"Heh, I only save talented people."

"What's the point of saving a bunch of useless people? They can't carry anything, can't lift anything, can't farm, and their education is useless."

"Sorry, my rescue shelter has limited resources. I can only maximize the rescue of various talents to ensure the continuation of our country, and even humanity."

"As for these useless people, I can't save them."

"There's no need to save them either!"

Li Chen's voice was very cold.

It was as if he was talking about what to eat for lunch today.

Ping Tou was intimidated by Li Chen's aura.

It took him a while to open his mouth and say, "But you can stop the car for a bit and take them to a safe place, right?"

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

Li Chen immediately laughed in anger.

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

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

"Do you think this is a game? Guns and ammunition aren't unlimited."

Ping Tou was left speechless by the retort.

However, his face was still grim.

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

Just as they were passing a corner, Ning Jing suddenly became nervous.

Grabbing Li Chen's hem, she said, "That, that's a kindergarten! Can you..."

Can you stop the car?

Ning Jing didn't dare to say the rest.

She only saw that the outside of the kindergarten was already surrounded by many zombies.

Two girls who looked like teachers were using their backs to hold the door shut, resisting the zombies' attacks.

The children were all huddled in the corner.

Although tears streamed down their young faces, they kept their mouths tightly shut, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing this, Ping Tou sneered and said, "Heh, how could someone like him..."

"Stop the car!"

Before Ping Tou could finish speaking, Li Chen's order was already given.

The bus stopped at the entrance of the kindergarten.

The android soldiers held their guns.

Those behind provided covering fire for those in front.

They forcefully cleared a path right at the kindergarten entrance!

"Are you from the rescue team?"

The two young female teachers were already exhausted, relying solely on willpower to hold on.

Seeing Li Chen and the others arrive, they immediately collapsed onto the ground, overjoyed!

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

"Quickly bring the children onto the bus."

Li Chen nodded, then helped open the kindergarten gate.

The zombies chasing the bus quickly caught up.

Twenty androids centered around the bus, continuously shooting the zombies to ensure the safety of the people inside.

Seeing this, the two female teachers.

Also forced themselves to stand and quickly organized the children to get on the bus.

This kindergarten had a total of two teachers, one principal, and thirty children.

When the virus outbreak occurred, the principal had run off early on his own.

Sixteen children had been picked up by their parents.

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

After confirming that all the children were on the bus.

Li Chen waved his hand.

The android soldiers immediately ceased fire and returned to the bus together.

Boom—

The android driver slammed the accelerator.

The bus quickly pulled away from the zombies!

"Didn't you say saving useless people was a waste of resources?" Ping Tou asked, stunned.

Li Chen glanced at him and said in a deep voice.

"Children are the hope for the future, not useless people."

"They have infinite potential."

The researchers who had been dissatisfied because Li Chen didn't save people.

Their eyes were now red-rimmed!

If it had been before the apocalypse.

These researchers might have condemned Li Chen.

But having witnessed so many tragedies along the way, they all chose to remain silent at this moment.

Even Ping Tou showed a thoughtful expression.

The rest of the journey was much smoother.

In the early days of the apocalypse.

The zombies' mobility was greatly limited.

And they hadn't formed a true zombie horde yet.

The bus was like a harvester, leaving a swathe of fallen zombies wherever it went.

With Noah's real-time positioning.

Li Chen quickly picked up the remaining researchers.

Besides the researchers, Li Chen also saved others along the way.

There were children, teachers, or skilled workers like electricians and plumbers.

The bus, which originally had sixty seats, was now completely packed.

Many seats even had to squeeze in two people to fit everyone.

Everyone who got on the bus first felt relief, then fell into endless grief.

Those without any special skills were unable to get on the bus.

No matter how they tried to stop the bus, how they called for help or cursed.

Li Chen didn't even look!

Someone on the bus raised a question, but only received one sentence from Li Chen.

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

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

"Noah, report the battle damage."

Li Chen said calmly.

"A total of twenty soldiers were dispatched on the mission, with no casualties."

"Firearms and ammunition consumption is 67%, enough to support the return to the Rescue Shelter."

"Eighteen surviving scientific researchers from Donghai City have all been rescued. The rescue mission is complete!"

Noah simultaneously projected the map of Donghai City.

Originally a green area, Donghai City was now entirely covered in red dots.

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