Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

“Hey, help! Please save us!”

“Kind-hearted people, please take us with you!”

The convoy had just turned a corner when suddenly cries for help echoed.

Zhang Su turned his head to look and saw a man and two women leaning out from a second-floor English training center, wildly waving at him.

The three people in the car remained silent as the vehicle continued to move forward at a steady pace.

The H6 and Prado following closely behind also showed no signs of stopping.

“Cold-blooded bastards, you’ll get what’s coming to you!”

“Are you even human? You’re worse than animals…”

Venomous curses erupted from behind.

On the Prado, Yu Qing pursed her lips slightly and said, “Xiaobo, they don’t look like bad people to me. Are you really not going to save them?”

“Brother Su makes these calls. If he doesn’t stop, it means he doesn’t intend to save them. But even if it were up to me, I wouldn’t save them either!”

Lu Yubo shrugged, his attitude was very clear.

“I bet those people aren’t better off than we are. Otherwise, why would they let the three of us join the convoy, right, Qingqing?”

Zhao Dezhu smiled obsequiously at Yu Qing.

“Zhao Dezhu, can you stop being so cynical all the time…”

Yu Qing glanced at Zhao Dezhu helplessly. She didn’t regret agreeing to marry this Fish Slaughterer, but there was a certain cognitive gap between them, and she hoped to change, or rather transform, her rough-around-the-edges husband a little bit.

“The sages have said that saving a life is better than building a seven-tiered pagoda. However, Qingqing, such things depend on one’s ability!”

Yuwen stood on Lu Yubo and Zhao Dezhu’s side this time.

“Dad… Why are you like this? You didn’t teach me to be like this before.” Yu Qing looked at her father with some confusion.

“One must have a kind heart, but having the heart without the strength will result in mistakes! Help the world if capable, but maintain personal integrity when not.” Yuwen looked seriously at Yu Qing and said, “I taught you to have a kind heart, not to let you feed your flesh to the eagles. Got it?”

Yu Qing’s face showed confusion and conflict. After the apocalypse, she had been in a daze for a long time, only slightly recovering yesterday and starting to think about the issues she faced.

Faced with various tests of human nature, she had intense doubts about her former beliefs and pursuits. But when she saw the determined look in her father’s eyes, she seemed to understand something.

“Dad, I understand!”

Understand?

Yu Qing certainly understood what Yuwen was trying to convey. Whether she would practice it was another matter, but Lu Yubo and Zhao Dezhu exchanged glances, faces full of confusion, completely unable to comprehend the string of things Yuwen said afterward…

After driving a stretch, they went onto the main street, and the scene ahead immediately changed!

If the chaos of the side street was like accidentally knocking over a table in a room, then the main street was like houses after an eight-magnitude earthquake.

Cars burnt to shells piled up, zombies wandered and roamed between the crashed vehicles, and crawling zombies slowly moved on the ground. The broken green belts, smashed streetlights, and toppled traffic lights…

Bloodstained backpacks, a leg still wearing a shoe, and disemboweled bodies could be seen everywhere. Fortunately, the temperature was low, so the stench of decay was relatively mild, otherwise, the smell from the corpses alone would have been nauseating.

“Half a month already, Xinyu, Xiaoshan, do you still think there’s hope for rescue?”

Zhang Su looked at the dilapidated scene ahead and solemnly asked the two beside him.

“It’s been tough…” Zhong Xiaoshan shook her head.

Zheng Xinyu sighed and said, “So, are we going to live such days of killing zombies every day from now on?”

Zhang Su shook his head and said, “Of course, I want to go back to the stable life we used to have, but before reaching that goal, I guess it’s like you said. We’ll have to kill zombies every day, and not just that, we have to guard against Old Liu…”

The main street was congested with vehicles. Though traffic wasn’t completely blocked, it was difficult to navigate through. After driving a short distance, Zhang Su had to switch to the sidewalk on the auxiliary road.

However, just as the van turned onto the auxiliary road, Zhang Su noticed something odd in the rearview mirror!

“Damn, since when has there been an extra car following us?”

This discovery stunned the three of them.

Earlier, while zigzagging on the road and avoiding zombies’ attacks, they hadn’t noticed the situation behind. Now after turning, they found a black Pajero tailing behind the Prado!

“Not sure when it came up…”

Zhong Xiaoshan frowned as she looked at the rearview mirror at the tattered SUV.

“We need to find some radios. It’s too inconvenient for communication between vehicles without them!”

Zhang Su felt deeply troubled by the communication difficulties.

“First, figure out the Pajero’s intentions!”

Zhang Su said as he slowly reduced the car’s speed.

The following H6 and Prado immediately caught on and also reduced their speed, and the people in the two cars also noticed the Pajero catching up from behind, curious about the intentions of those in the car.

According to Zhang Su’s thinking, if the Pajero was just coincidental company, now was the time for it to speed up and overtake them, but in the rearview mirror, they could see the Pajero also reducing its speed, still trailing leisurely behind.

“Persistent! Grab the weapons!”

Zhang Su frowned, glanced at the surrounding environment, and then abruptly hit the brakes, stopping the car. He grabbed the crossbow from behind, loaded it with a crossbow arrow, and pushed the car door open.

Lu Yubo saw the van’s driver’s door open, grabbed his weapon, and swiftly jumped out of the car, muttering, “Let me see what kind of ghosts you are!”

As the last vehicle in the convoy, Lu Yubo was the first to notice the Pajero’s appearance.

Back in the day, having a car tail you wasn’t a big deal, but in the dire and tense apocalypse, one couldn’t help but be cautious, especially after the incident of vehicle hijacking had just happened. Everyone’s nerves were on edge.
