With the help of the gradually fox-like self-rescue team, their journey became increasingly smooth.
Perhaps their fox-like transformation had minimized their fear of zombies, or perhaps the fox-like mocking faces had invisibly increased everyone's courage.
In short, although the journey from then until we got on the highway and headed towards Yanshi was not as efficient and smooth as before, it was not too bumpy either.
Even the expressway from Shanghai to Yantai was not spared from the disaster caused by the golden liquid. Overturned and suddenly stopped vehicles were everywhere on the expressway, and many sections were congested and unable to move forward.
The fourteen-vehicle self-rescue team, now transformed from foxes, cleverly employed the method of taunting and luring the zombies. The fourteen vehicles were divided into three small teams: one team was responsible for luring the zombies, one team was responsible for ramming or moving vehicles blocking the way, and the other team was responsible for maintenance and vigilance. With increasingly tacit cooperation, they successfully traversed the highway from Shanghai to Yantai.
Fourteen-vehicle self-rescue team group:
Dr. Liu: [We're about to exit the highway! There might be some traffic congestion at the tollbooth. We'll have to trouble Wang Shao and our young man Mingri then!]
Young Master Wang: [Don't worry, my car has been specially modified for the front, with an alloy bumper added. As long as it's not a large truck, we can easily ram through several vehicles on the road.]
Ronghua Fugui: [Our tomorrow's buddy will be leading the way, everyone please keep up! We'll get past the tollbooth in the shortest time possible. After that, it'll only take another hour to reach the safe zone!]
[Three vehicles received!]
Received on the 6th!
[Received on the 10th... Waaah, I can't believe we actually made it from Times Square all the way here! Thank you so much everyone for being with us the whole way. I don't think I could have made it without you all.]
[Sigh, who isn't? Thinking back to being forced to give way to a car in the square, it feels like ages ago, even though it was just recently. Anyway, we've been good friends through thick and thin together all this time! We'll stay together at the base and get through this sudden apocalypse together!!]
[...Who could have imagined that the liquid gold would have such a huge problem...Sigh, I used to envy those wealthy people who could afford it, but now I think poverty might sometimes be a way to survive.]
[I wonder when they'll be able to create an antidote? Dr. Sanchez is the creator of the Golden Liquid, so he should be able to figure out what's wrong with it soon, right? Then they can create an antidote and end this disaster.]
"...That's hard to say. Dr. Sanchez is only the main developer of the Golden Liquid. It will take the entire team's efforts to truly develop it. What kind of drug can be developed quickly? It will take at least a year or two. But if this disaster continues for a year or two... I really can't imagine what the world will become."
[I've been wondering about one thing for a while now: what exactly went wrong with the Gold Liquid? The first four generations were perfectly fine! And the effects were remarkable! It was a health product recognized by various medical research institutions, so how did the fifth generation suddenly...?]
[Who knows? Maybe the fifth-generation gold liquid has some prohibited substances added. Isn't the biggest problem that the drug regulatory authorities failed to detect the problem? Various clinical trials should have been conducted before it was marketed, but if those trials were passed, why did problems arise during use?]
The group initially felt joy and gratitude at the prospect of reaching a safe zone, but gradually began to discuss the causes of the disaster.
Clearly, everyone was puzzled and confused about the problem with the liquid gold, and Gou Fugui's doubts only deepened as he read the conversations in the group chat.
Because everyone's questions were also his questions, he originally thought that the Golden Liquid was probably some kind of illegal, untested drug, but after the discussion in the team, it turned out that the Golden Liquid should be a legal drug that had undergone various tests.
But this is even stranger. Why would a legally tested drug suddenly cause problems in the fifth generation?
Is there something wrong with the potion itself, or... is there something wrong with the person who made it?
But whichever the possibility, the core of this world must be related to the Golden Liquid, so he needs to find Dr. Sanchez and figure out the problem with the Golden Liquid.
Thinking of this, the wealthy beauty glanced at her watch again, wondering where her ten world-saving friends were now.
Putting everything else aside, at least we need to find the werewolf and Song Sanchuan. One of them is a fighter, and the other can search for information at the fastest speed. Finding them would really save him a lot of trouble.
He's just a weak sheep named Fugui, don't let him bear such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders!
So Yangyang Fugui angrily tapped the watch face again. His watch was constantly sending and receiving shortwave communication signals, but he had already run out of Shanghai and was almost in the safe zone, so why was the watch still not responding?
The wealthy and beautiful woman was exhausted: "I'm so useless!"
"You mean your watch? This must be a specially modified and designed high-performance watch. If I'm not mistaken, this watch has a multitude of functions. If this watch isn't good enough, then all watches are probably useless."
Si Mingri's voice rang in his ears. Gou Fugui turned his head to look at him and realized that this kid had a modified wheelchair and a modified car that could generate electricity. No matter how you looked at it, he was the kind of genius boy.
"I've never asked you what you do for a living, but you can tell at a glance that my watch has been modified. Could it be that you studied mechanics?"
Si Mingri scoffed upon hearing this. It wasn't the first time he had shown such a mocking laugh, but this time it seemed particularly disdainful.
The wealthy beauty raised her eyebrows; this was no ordinary display of arrogance.
"It seems you didn't study mechanical engineering. So what do you do? Are you one of those legendary all-rounders, super geniuses who can do everything?"
The wheelchair-bound boy didn't speak. When he heard the words "super genius," he twitched his lips again, but seemed to suddenly lose all interest in speaking, turning his head away, closing his eyes, and refusing any further communication.
Gou Fugui clicked his tongue. He could tell that this kid was exceptionally smart, but he also guessed he was exceptionally stubborn.
[We're almost at the tollbooth! Everyone, pay attention! The rich kid has chosen the middle lane, so line up according to your numbers, we're about to go!]
A final reminder was sent out in the group chat, and Wang Kuoshao's modified off-road vehicle, which was driving at the front, honked its horn and accelerated forward.
Si Mingri's car was placed last, which can be considered as a backup in case of emergencies.
Then, Gou Fugui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw the black SUV at the front first slow down and slowly drive to the toll booth in the second lane where only two cars were parked. Then it suddenly accelerated and rammed into the two cars in front of it, crashing into the fence in front of it!
As the black SUV sped through the tollbooth, bumping into two cars, the tollbooth alarm went off.
[Warning! Warning! A vehicle is attempting to force its way through the checkpoint! Please handle this immediately! Please handle this immediately!]
Then, amidst the tense atmosphere of zombies gathering near the tollbooth, the cars behind sped through the tollbooth one by one according to their platoon numbers.
Just as the eighth car had successfully passed and the ninth and tenth cars were about to accelerate forward, Su Linlin, who was sitting in the car, suddenly screamed:
"Brother Fugui, look behind you! Lots of cars are rushing towards us!!"
Gou Fugui's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around to look behind him. He then saw a convoy of at least dozens of off-road vehicles, large trucks, and excavators, which looked very intimidating, rushing towards them without slowing down.
Gou Fugui's pupils constricted instantly, and the car's artificial intelligence reacted immediately:
[Vehicle collision risk! Emergency evasive maneuver! Emergency evasive maneuver!]
So Gou Fugui and his group's car quickly shifted to the side by a meter, narrowly avoiding the convoy's reckless attempt to cut them off.
But none of the cars in front of them had time to get out of the way; they were all smashed aside by the lead truck!
The most unlucky ones were the ninth and tenth cars. They were already in the lane and had no way to dodge to the left or right. Just like the two cars that Wang Kuoshao had blocked the road with his SUV, they were hit by the big truck that came from behind without slowing down at all, and then they were pushed all the way through the toll gate!
Gou Fugui even noticed that two muscular and arrogant men were sitting on the truck, which was piled high with all sorts of food.
Clearly, this team was completely different from their team of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled players; it was a team composed of young and strong men, extremely powerful and domineering.
Gou Fugui pursed his lips, instinctively sensing that trouble was brewing.
And his premonition soon came true—
As they and the three cars behind them drove through the tollbooth, he saw a dozen or so large trucks and SUVs parked not far ahead of the tollbooth.
Meanwhile, the group chat was filled with frantic warnings from the vehicles ahead:
Dr. Liu: [Those in the back, hurry up and run away! They're trying to rob us!]
Wang Kuoshao: [Damn it! A bunch of opportunistic trash! Do they value money more than their lives?!]
[No, the trucks are blocking the entire road, and that excavator even damaged Dr. Liu's car headlights! The commotion is getting bigger and bigger. These big vehicles can withstand a zombie siege, but we can't!]
[This is outrageous! That excavator is collecting backpacks from each vehicle! They won't let you leave without your backpack! How can they do this?!]
When Gou Fugui finished reading these messages, their car had already arrived at the encirclement blocked by dozens of large trucks.
Then he saw the excavator that was usually used to dig the land, but now it was used to beg for food from afar.
And the arrogant faces of those sitting atop those tall off-road and utility vehicles.
"Hahaha, you weaklings! If you know what's good for you, hand over the stuff! Anyway, we're not far from the safe zone. Losing your stuff is better than losing your life, right?"
"Our Brother Xu won't make things difficult for you. As long as you pay the protection fee, we can escort you to the safe zone, hahaha!"
"Hurry up and throw your backpacks into the digging shovel! Otherwise, none of you will leave here! You'll all die here and become zombies!"
By the end, the person who had shouted the words had a ferocious expression on their face, like a demon.
The people here are extremely unwilling, but they are helpless.
It's really laughable when you think about it. They were able to work together to defeat zombies that had no mind or emotions, but in the end they lost to a group of living, breathing people with feelings.
"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for?!"
Just as the excavator raised its shovel high, about to attack Wang Kuoshao's SUV, Gou Fugui suddenly jumped out of Si Mingri's car. Amid Su Linlin's exclamation, he rushed forward to Wang Kuoshao's SUV, jumped onto it in a few steps, and then sneered at everyone in the truck who was looking at him.
The second skill of the Tibetan Fox of Wealth was activated: Forced Mourning.
When those deep, narrowed eyes, which seemed to have seen through all the ugliness in the world, met the burly men on the truck, the arrogant laughter came to an abrupt halt.
The robbers, who had been happy, suddenly lost their joy and even felt a strange sense of desolation and emptiness welling up in their hearts.
ah.
The world has become like this, so why are they still alive?
ah.
The world has become like this, why don't they act like good people and do such heinous things?
ah……
Human beings should live a meaningful life, but now, do they live a meaningful life?
These arrogant and domineering people fell into deep thought about life.
At that moment, Gou Fugui, standing on Wang Shao's car, shouted, "What are you all standing there for! Charge now!"
Dr. Liu was the first to react, honking the horn hard and stepping on the gas to speed off!
The other vehicles that were blocked also squeezed out one by one through the gaps at the edge, risking being scratched.
Wang Kuoshao couldn't move his car because Gou Fugui was standing on it, but the expression on his face was one of satisfaction, even with the same mockery as Zanghu Fugui. Even if he died here, he would take these scumbags down with him!
The last to leave was Si Mingri, who was driving a smart car.
As he left, he looked out the window at the long-haired youth standing on the SUV, his expression a mixture of confusion and...mockery.
Sure enough, this person is still a fool who thinks he's a hero.
He thought his actions were noble and that he had saved people, but in other people's eyes he was just a fool.
Just like he used to be.
After Si Mingri's car drove away, Gou Fugui wanted to jump out of the car so that Wang Kuoshao could leave.
But Wang Kuoshao absolutely refused to drive away.
"Your enemies aren't just zombies now! There are also the people in this car! What if they hit you? It's not safe for you to stay here. Get in the car and let's get out of here while we can!"
Gou Fugui's second forced skill had only a dozen seconds left. Looking at the large trucks and the ever-growing number of zombies around him, he realized that Young Master Wang was right.
However, just as he was about to jump from the roof into the window, the burly man operating the excavator suddenly snapped out of his daze. After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, he saw the fleeing convoy and his bewildered teammates around him, and instantly flew into a rage, yelling at the suddenly appearing Gou Fugui:
"I'll fuck you, you little brat! I'll smack you to death!!"
Then, the huge excavator's shovel was raised high, ready to smash down hard on Gou Fugui on the roof of the vehicle!
Wang Kuoshao nervously pounded on the steering wheel in the car, yelling, "Hurry up, hurry up, get in!!"
Even Gou Fugui wanted to curse his mother.
Just as he felt darkness enveloping him, he suddenly heard the sound of wind coming from the sky.
That was the sound of the wind being stirred, followed by the sound of bullets whistling through the air, and then a scream from the burly man operating the excavator as he clutched his wrist.
Gou Fugui looked up in disbelief. A tall figure stood against the wind by the airplane door, holding a Washington-made gun with a metallic sheen.
At that moment, sunlight shone from behind him, making the person standing there look like the most dazzling star in the sky.
"Which bunch of brats dared to hit my Yuanyuan?"
"Did your wolf father agree?!"
Then, amidst Wang Kuoshao's repeated incredulous exclamations of "Holy crap!", Fu Guiyuan, who was originally going to hide in the car, plopped down on the roof. The brows that had been slightly furrowed since they came out of the square finally relaxed without even him noticing.
"Damn it!" the wealthy beauty laughed and cursed.
If you don't come soon, your favorability rating will drop, you know?!
At that moment, the communication watch on his wrist finally lit up with a small green light.
