"I can't go."
“It’s really inhumane.”
"You guys aren't leaving too, are you?"
“…”
The crying sound was heard from far away, and the figure on the tree trunk of the mound disappeared at some point.
The vehicle drove in the darkness. The people in the car looked at the dimming lights of the base in the distance. One of them tossed the crystal core in his hand and said, "The base is probably in chaos."
The man in the co-pilot seat put his feet up in front of him and said, "That base has no future. Staying there is just waiting to die. Rather than dying together, it's better to keep a few of us alive. It can be considered a contribution for us."
"Speaking of which, Jianfeng is smart. He directly took the crystal core. Even if we reach Pojun's base, we will be able to gain a foothold. Brothers must work together at that time. Maybe we can even become the leader or something." said the man sitting in the back seat.
Wang Jianfeng sneered, "That's all you can do. Do you know how many people are at Pojun Base? 50,000. If we can drive that Wang Pojun down, we'll be able to just sit back and enjoy the good life."
"Dude, you're ambitious." The person next to him praised.
Everyone in the car was more leisurely than ever before, with only the headlights illuminating the road ahead. But just when everyone was about to fall asleep, a heavy blow on the roof woke everyone up.
"What's going on?!"
The car came to an abrupt stop. The people who had just regained consciousness didn't stop their momentum and crashed into the car in front. The two accidents happened at the same time, which was enough to ignite people's anger: "Can you drive?!"
"Front, front..." The driver ignored their emotions and said with a trembling voice while looking ahead.
Several sober people looked outside at the same time. Even though the car lights were not bright enough to illuminate very far, they could still see figures moving in all directions.
"It's a zombie tide..." someone murmured.
"We're surrounded on all sides. How could there be such a huge zombie horde?" The co-pilot no longer cared about his leisurely mood and asked in a heavy tone, "What should we do now?"
"How the hell should I know!!!" one person roared.
The largest zombie wave they had ever seen in the base was only a few hundred at most, but now, without even a rough estimate, they could tell that there were definitely thousands of zombies around.
It is impossible for vehicles to rush through. The zombies have no consciousness and can surround here forever, but they are human beings. If they are trapped here for three days, they will basically be useless.
"Fuck, who the hell said zombie hordes only gather in the east? There aren't any here!"
"I shouldn't have come out with you guys. I'm going to die here before I can even enjoy the food and drinks."
"This fucking thing doesn't seem like a spontaneous gathering, it seems like it's organized." Wang Jianfeng gasped and gritted his teeth.
"Is there a zombie leader around here?"
Their discussion did not last long, as zombies from all directions had surrounded them. Even though the car windows were tightly closed, they were not completely airtight. A little bit of human breath was enough to make the zombies wrapped outside scratch and bite the car like crazy. Their green faces and fangs stuck to the car windows, and the sight of their bloody flesh and sticky saliva made everyone in the car gasp.
There was a constant banging sound outside, and everyone in the car was very nervous.
"What should I do?!"
"I don't want to die yet. If I had known I'd stay at the base, I wouldn't be in this state now."
"Damn it, is this a deliberate revenge?! There are so many people in the base, but they chose us instead!" Someone shouted angrily, and after the words were spoken, a crisp snap of fingers came from somewhere.
The zombies that were scratching and biting outside the car windows all stopped moving, not even making a roar.
The complete silence made the people in the car even more nervous. At this moment, the zombies automatically parted the road, as if to welcome someone. Even with their green faces and fangs, they seemed to show a hint of respect.
A tall figure slowly approached the car lights. The people in the car subconsciously held their breath, but when they saw the person clearly, their eyes widened: "□□ Fei?!"
[This name reduces the host's domineering index by 80%] 06 analyzed.
Lin Su happened to think so too, but since it had already been installed, he had to finish it no matter what.
"How could it be him?!"
"He's standing in a pile of zombies now. They must be zombies..."
"But he doesn't look like it."
"There's been news from the Pojun base that zombies will evolve. After evolving, they'll shed their current ugly appearance and become more human-like as they grow stronger."
"But didn't he just turn into a zombie?"
Several people's voices were trembling. Lin Su didn't look over there, but said to the retreating zombies: "Don't grab too hard. If you damage the car, it will be unusable."
Several zombies roared twice. Although the meaning was unclear, it was obvious that they were admitting their mistake. Compared with the trembling people in the car, Lin Su inexplicably felt: [It seems a little cute.]
06At that moment, I felt as if I had lost the host's favor: "Next time, I will definitely choose a world full of people for you."
The most adorable system is the one that is both useful and well-behaved.
[Yeah, you're cute too.] Lin Su complimented with great understanding.
06 feels that his mechanical heart wants to expand and bloom. It is the host's best partner.
[So you're not attracted to them, are you?] 06 felt a little worried. After all, the host had always praised those who were cute with the intention of sleeping with them.
Lin Su threw 06, who had just been praised for being cute, into the small dark room.
Lin Su turned around, looked at the people in the car and smiled. The headlights reflected on his pupils, and for a moment, a mechanical luster passed through them. He didn't move, but just stared at the people in the car and said, "Do you want to get out by yourselves, or should I do it?"
"Drive, drive..." Wang Jianfeng said to the driver while hiding behind the seat.
The driver was in a panic and subconsciously started the car and rushed directly towards Lin Su. However, the car passed by without hitting anything. Instead, it was blocked by the group of zombies that suddenly surrounded them. The person who was just in front of their car was already standing next to the car. He held the handle with his hand and gently applied force, and actually removed an entire door.
The smell of living people wafted out, and the zombie group became restless for a moment. Lin Su closed the car door and made a hissing sound. The only sounds left were the screams and heavy breathing of the people in the car.
