Chen Ke dislikes indiscriminate killing of innocent people, but he shows no mercy to scumbags.
the next day.
After inspecting the south of the city, he headed north, knocking out two speed-evolved individuals and throwing them out of the city before arriving at a hospital.
According to information returned by his zombie henchmen, there was plenty of "food" in the hospital.
When Chen Ke arrived at the hospital, he realized that there were indeed quite a few people inside, with zombies surrounding the place in layers upon layers.
However, as soon as Chen Ke approached, the zombies that had been pushing their way in immediately changed direction and ran to both sides with a thud. Chen Ke stepped inside, cutting through the zombie horde like a sharp sword, creating a clear path.
Inside the hospital, a hunting team composed entirely of women was in the pharmacy. All of them had resolute eyes and were preparing for a final, desperate fight.
"Sister Wei, let's decide on this. Yu Meng and I will take the bombs to distract the zombie horde. You take the medicine and the other five and take the opportunity to break out. Otherwise, if we stay here and hold out until nightfall, we'll all die." Zhou Qin's voice was firm, filled with a determination to die.
Wu Wei didn't nod immediately after hearing this, but looked at Yu Meng and asked, "Yu Meng, what do you think?"
The only two people in the hunting team who were ordinary people were Yu Meng and Zhou Qin. Zhou Qin thought it was only natural that if someone had to sacrifice themselves for the mission to succeed, then it would definitely be her and Yu Meng.
They've never played a significant role in the team, needing protection and sometimes even holding others back, yet they receive the same treatment as everyone else. So, when it's finally time for them to make a difference, they shouldn't back down.
But Yu Meng clearly doesn't think that way.
"I...I don't know. No, but if you can escape safely as long as the two of us die, I...I have no objection."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qin flew into a rage. "Yu Meng, what do you mean by that? Do you mean I'm going to drag you down with me?"
"Alright, Zhou Qin, don't worry, there must be other ways. Let's think about it again," Wu Wei comforted her.
“Sister Wei, how can I not be anxious? You secretly led us out to find medicine behind Dr. L’s back, which violated Team A’s rules. If you can’t get back in time tonight, not only will you be punished, but the sisters in the base will not escape either.”
"Alright, stop talking. I'll go. I can jump high. When we get out, I'll jump right to the spot with the most zombies and detonate it. That way, they won't die!"
"I'm fast, I'll go, I can handle it by myself."
"I--"
The youngest sister in the team, Zhong Shi, was interrupted as soon as she opened her mouth: "Don't raise your hand. You're useless as a hearing evolver, just like Zhou Qin and the others. Let the capable older sisters handle this. Listen to me!"
"No, I—"
"What do you mean, 'I'? You're not allowed to go."
"Let her finish speaking."
Looking at the scene before her, Yu Meng secretly clenched her fingers. Just because she didn't have any special abilities, she not only did the dirtiest and most tiring work in the team, but she was also the first person they thought of to send her to her death. If she showed the slightest reluctance, no one would even look at her.
But they do everything they can to protect Zhong Shi. Ha! As long as they can get back alive today, they will one day trample all these people under their feet!
With Wu Wei's words, Zhong Shi was finally able to finish his sentence.
"I heard footsteps outside, approaching us."
"You misspoke, it should be zombies, right?"
"No, the footsteps of zombies are completely different from those of humans. I can't be mistaken. They've already reached our floor. Their footsteps are light, they habitually land on their back foot first, and their walking is unhurried and rhythmic. You can tell from their footsteps that they are composed, as if strolling leisurely in a garden—"
"Alright, do you think you're strolling around a tourist attraction before the end of the world? Taking it all in!"
Zhong Shi felt a little aggrieved, "But, but that's how it sounds from the footsteps."
As the backbone of the team, Wu Wei took Zhong Shi's words much more seriously. Her expression was grave. "Zhong Shi, are you sure there really is someone outside, and that they're getting closer to us?"
"Hmm, it's here—wait, what?" Zhong Shi's eyes widened in disbelief.
Seeing this, everyone quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Shi looked surprised. "He... he's already standing at our door..."
Wu Wei reacted swiftly, activating her supernatural abilities while shouting in a delicate voice, "Retreat! Everyone on alert!"
In the end times, not everyone can be called a companion.
The other seven immediately stood behind Wu Wei, their nerves on edge, ready to attack.
The air was still for a few seconds.
Sudden.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!" A polite and gentle knocking sound came from outside.
The eight people were stunned for a moment, looking at each other blankly, as if they had been transported back to the civilized world before the apocalypse.
"Excuse me, is anyone inside?" Chen Ke asked the consultant, while also indicating that he meant no harm.
Wu Wei hesitated for a moment, but when she thought that this person could ignore the zombies outside and walk in, he was definitely not an ordinary person. Instead of worrying and overthinking, they decided to open the door and see what his purpose was.
With that thought in mind, Wu Wei walked over and turned the handle to open the door.
The instant the door opened.
A young man with exceptionally fair skin and handsome features appeared before them. His expression was indifferent and composed, and his black Zhongshan uniform accentuated his slender and tall figure, giving him a simple and comfortable look.
While the others were sizing up Chen Ke, Chen Ke also briefly glanced around the room.
In her mind, Wu Wei labeled Chen Ke as unfathomable and extremely dangerous, but on the surface, she asked calmly, "Hello, who is knocking on the door?"
"I'll take you out."
······
Even after the eight of them boarded the bus and started heading out of the city, they still felt like they were dreaming.
The fact that everyone escaped unharmed should have been a cause for celebration, but the bus was eerily quiet. Everyone sat upright with serious expressions, as if they had just returned from a funeral.
The hospital is located in the old town, where the roads are narrow and the population density is extremely high. They were prepared to sacrifice themselves to get the medicine.
Now, not only are they walking out of the hospital's side entrance with bags full of medicine, but they've also taken a car out of the city.
After the car exited the tollbooth, it continued driving towards the safe zone without stopping. Wu Wei couldn't help but ask Chen Ke, "May I ask your name? My name is Wu Wei. Thank you for what you said earlier. We were able to get out of the hospital thanks to you."
"Chen Ke." Chen Ke replied simply, propping his head up with one hand and driving with the other, without intending to continue the pleasantries with Wu Wei.
But Wu Wei had other plans. Despite Chen Ke's indifferent expression, she continued to ask, "I haven't seen you at the security base. Did you come from somewhere else?"
"I guess so."
Wu Wei's eyes lit up. "So what are your plans after you go to the safe base?"
