The gang members immediately nodded in agreement, then helped each other up and fled in a panic.
Commander Li praised the children's performance, saying, "You all did a great job today. You were calm and composed, and your moves were all very skillful."
"However, there are still some flaws, such as slow reaction time, slow to seize the opponent's weaknesses, and failure to follow up with a finishing blow after defeating the enemy."
"If the opponent is not under the pressure of an adult, they may be able to successfully fight back, so we must strengthen this aspect of training in the future."
The children nodded frequently. This real-world experience had a significant impact on them. For a long time afterward, this unique feeling became a topic of conversation and a valuable experience for the children.
Later, Commander Li called Yue Wu and Feng Xuanlang together to discuss matters.
Regarding today's turmoil, Commander Li expressed his opinion: "Le Wu, do you disagree with my decision to let them go so easily?"
Yuewu blinked and nodded affirmatively.
I never expected the old commander to be so observant; he actually discovered it.
Commander Li sighed, "I know these people have ill intentions and we may not have a peaceful life from now on, but I don't want the children to be exposed to bloodshed so early."
"The oldest of them is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest is only six or seven. If it weren't for the apocalypse, they should be living at an age where they have no worries or troubles, instead of fighting and killing each other. I'm afraid that their values will collapse too early and have a negative impact on their mental health."
Although Yue Wu could understand Commander Li's desire to protect the children, she could not agree with his ideas.
"Perhaps it's for their own good not to let them get involved too early, but it's all the adults who are trying to create a comfortable living environment for them, while the reality is that we are already in the apocalypse, and only the fittest survive."
“Those carnivores know they have to hunt from a young age because of their environment, and they have to learn to adapt. The same is true for children now. The sooner they see reality, the better we can protect them.”
This is Yuewu's current thinking: no one is obligated to protect you forever. Only by becoming strong can you survive and then have a say in the rules.
Feng Xuanlang knew that Yue Wu preferred to live a secluded life and had seen her save many people because of her kindness, but he had never seen her so calm when talking about killing.
Yuewu didn't continue the conversation, only saying, "I will be leaving here soon. I hope everyone understands that it's the end of the world now."
Neither Commander Li nor Feng Xuanlang expected that Yue Wu would suddenly say she wanted to leave, catching them completely off guard.
Before they could even react, the music and dance had already left, leaving the two of them stunned and speechless.
After returning home, Yue Wu went to bed and slept soundly, catching up on sleep in preparation for the next day's trip to the west of the city to search for meteorites. However, Commander Li and Feng Xuanlang stayed up all night.
Commander Li, who was smoking, asked Feng Xuanlang, "Did you know she was leaving?"
Feng Xuanlang replied dejectedly, "I don't know, but I can vaguely sense that this is not her final destination."
Commander Li: "So, she had a plan from the beginning; it was only a matter of time before she left."
Feng Xuanlang nodded calmly, "Yes!"
Thus, the room of Commander Li remained filled with smoke, and the two sat facing each other in silence.
Le Wu didn't wake up until noon, her mind still foggy. She never expected to have such a bizarre dream after sleeping so late.
The dream was about the things in the west of the city in my previous life.
"Are you going or not? Give me an answer!" the muscular man urged impatiently, flicking the few remaining cigarette butts in his hand, not even bothering to throw them away. After all, getting a cigarette in the apocalypse was no easy feat, so every puff was especially precious.
The man sitting on the sofa had a hideous scar running from the corner of his eye to his earlobe. He glanced around at everyone, put away his gleaming pistol, and stood up. "Go!"
Mo An was overjoyed. Her efforts had not been in vain. The allure of a level 5 crystal core was simply too great. With their current abilities, it was virtually impossible for them to obtain one on their own.
If she hadn't used her personal charm to get some people to gather information for her, how could she have known such a significant clue?
Besides, this is a hunting plan by the most capable raiding team. Even if following behind them doesn't guarantee a level 5 crystal core, picking up some level 4 crystal cores wouldn't be bad.
That's a horde of zombies in the west of the city. If the raiding team ends up losing both sides, our own people can just sit back and reap the benefits.
Mo An was dissatisfied with Xu Lao Er, the man with the eye scar, for being so indecisive and lacking any manly decisiveness, while always trying to act like the boss.
If Xu Hua hadn't died, how could he have risen to power? He keeps trying to coerce and entice her, but he should take a good look at himself in the mirror. He's like a toad trying to eat swan meat.
"Pack your things and get ready to go. Xie Lu, you're in charge of tracking the robbery team. The rest of you go to the Yaqi Building on Chengzhong Road," Fatty Man assigned the tasks.
Xu Lao Er, the man with the eye scar, asked pretentiously, "Why do we still have to go to the Yaqi Building? It's such a long detour." He was clearly very dissatisfied with the fat man's plan.
Everyone was used to it. Although Xu Lao Er was the leader of their team, everyone knew he was all talk and no action and always wanted to show off, so everyone kept quiet.
The chubby man sighed, "We can't just openly tell everyone that we're going to the west of the city too, can we?" and then turned and left.
Xu Lao Er touched his nose dejectedly and didn't say anything more.

In the west of the city, the Invasion Squad has already started fighting.
They had prepared two cars in advance, which drove to the center of the western part of the city. They turned on the car stereos, and to the rhythm of Phoenix Legend's "Above the Moon," zombies from different directions rushed over.
After the cars were so close together that they were no longer visible, there was a loud bang, and the car exploded.
Then came another loud bang, flames roared, some zombies were blown to pieces, others were burned, and a foul odor spread, making people nauseous.
Even the members of the raiding squad, hidden in the distance, couldn't escape the stench and unconsciously frowned.
The man standing at the front remained expressionless as he observed the explosion site.
Not long after, they sensed a new wave of zombies approaching. Among them were five level 4 zombies, surrounded by level 3 zombies.
If you think that's all, you're wrong. Behind that horde of zombies, a figure mingled among the ordinary zombies was faintly visible—that was the level 5 zombie.
It was also because of his presence that no team dared to come here to harvest resources, even though there was a bustling commercial street and a shopping mall with abundant supplies.
Before the apocalypse, this place was a cluster of university campuses and an industrial development zone, where students, workers, and outsiders gathered, resulting in a large population.
