After the yacht sailed a long distance and everyone was sure it was safe, they relaxed.
The yacht was huge, with an upper deck about thirty meters long. The lower deck had a living room filled with drinks, a kitchen crammed with food, and standard rooms with bathrooms. The yacht even had a seawater separation system. For a moment, everyone even felt that it wouldn't be impossible to just float on the ship forever.
This was Ya Ya's first time on a boat.
She ran around happily inside the yacht, exclaiming, "Mommy, this boat is so big!"
The others slumped on the ground to rest.
They were exhausted from fighting their way through; they had only been putting on a brave face.
Just as everyone was catching their breath on the deck, Ya Ya, who had taken a stroll around the yacht, pointed at Chen Zhou's calf and asked, "Why is there blood on the back of your leg?"
Everyone in the repair shop has been fighting bad guys and zombies for so long, and they all have some blood on them.
At first, no one took Ya Ya's words seriously.
It wasn't until Chen Zhou lifted his trouser leg that two blackened teeth marks were revealed, with the blood vessels at the marks turning black, indicating that he had been bitten by a zombie.
Shen Zhou pressed his hand to his wound in surprise. He hadn't noticed it during the battle, but now the wound was throbbing with pain.
Faced with the astonished gazes of the crowd.
He said calmly, "He must have been bitten by a zombie below while climbing the iron gate."
After the apocalypse, the only person Li Jianguo encountered who showed him kindness was Shen Zhou. Deep down, Li Jianguo was always grateful to him, which is why he stood up to help Shen Zhou when everyone in the neighborhood suspected that Shen Zhou had been bitten and wanted to kick him out.
Even though Shen Zhou sometimes acted too emotionally and irrationally, he never thought of leaving Shen Zhou.
He looked at Chen Zhou's wound in disbelief: "How could this be? It's fake, isn't it? You deliberately put it on to scare us!"
"No, I was really bitten."
Knowing he was doomed, Shen Zhou didn't want to lie to his teammates who had fought alongside him for so long, nor did he want to harm the people on the ship after he turned into a zombie. He suddenly stood up and walked towards the edge of the ship.
After realizing the intention to sink the ship.
Li Jianguo tried to step forward to stop him.
He stood up, and then heard a gunshot. The bullet struck Chen Zhou directly in the shoulder. Chen Zhou deduced that the bullet came from the sea behind them, and quickly shouted to everyone, "Get down!!!"
As Shen Zhou finished speaking, another volley of bullets flew towards the yacht. Fortunately, Shen Zhou had given a warning, and everyone was locked on the deck. Apart from Shen Zhou being shot in the back, no one else was injured.
However, the bullet pierced the propellers on both sides of the yacht, and the yacht's speed immediately decreased.
Everyone craned their necks to look behind them, only to see a speedboat that had appeared on the sea at some unknown time, heading towards them at full speed.
Those bullets were fired by the people on the speedboat.
Just when everyone was worried that the propeller was broken and those people would catch up soon, and they would surely die,
Chen Zhou jumped onto a speedboat that was tied to the side of the yacht.
He was shot in the back.
The jumping motion tore open the wound, and the clothes behind him were instantly soaked in blood.
Li Jianguo grabbed Chen Zhou's hand as he tried to untie the speedboat: "What do you want to do?"
Chen Zhou was in so much pain that he could barely stand up, but he still managed to force a smile: "Since we're all going to die anyway, I figured rather become a zombie and have my head blown off by you guys than become one and have my head blown off by you guys, so I might as well shine and spread warmth for everyone!"
Li Jianguo held onto Chen Zhou's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Shen Zhou pried open Li Jianguo's fingers one by one, and as he started the speedboat, he instructed Li Jianguo, "Promise me, you must get Yaya to the capital safely!"
Li Jianguo clenched his fists and let out a muffled "hmm" from his throat.
The people who fired at the yacht were among the group that Dr. Yu had sent to kill Ya Ya, and were directed by Grandpa Yan to go in another direction. After shooting through the two propellers of the yacht, they were preparing to catch up with the yacht and carry out a large-scale sweep, but unexpectedly a speedboat separated from the yacht and drove towards them.
They initially thought the people on the speedboat wanted to get close enough to shoot them.
They all raised their guns and fired at the speedboat.
Even though the people on the speedboat had been shot several times, they still stood up and drove the speedboat towards them without moving.
They then realized that the people on the speedboat didn't want to get close and shoot them; they wanted to take them down with them.
Once these people realized this, they fired even more frantically at the people on the speedboat, hoping to kill them and make the speedboat lose control. After a burst of frenzied gunfire, everyone panicked. Even though the people on the speedboat had been riddled with bullets, they were still able to turn the speedboat around and crash into them.
The yacht's propellers are all broken, and it is currently adrift at sea, not far from the speedboat.
Qiao An'an and the others were moved to tears when they saw Chen Zhou standing motionless despite being shot multiple times.
When Chenzhou's speedboat crashed straight into the speedboat chasing them and exploded at sea, Ya Ya burst into tears. She remembered that among the uncles and aunts in the neighborhood, Chenzhou was the kindest to them. Whenever he found something delicious or fun outside, he would share it with the children first.
In times of danger, they will prioritize rescuing these children.
Ya Ya loved Uncle Chen Zhou very much and didn't want him to die. After seeing Chen Zhou's ship explode, she leaned over and pointed in the direction of the explosion, sadly asking Qiao An'an, "Mommy, will Uncle Chen never come back?"
Qiao An'an also felt quite bad. Although Shen Zhou sometimes made some wrong decisions, his intentions were definitely good. She didn't know how to comfort Ya Ya for a moment, so she just gently patted Ya Ya's back.
Grandpa Yan had also served in the army, though only for two years. Seeing the sunken ship, he was filled with respect and stood at the stern, saluting in the direction of the explosion: "Don't worry, we won't let you sacrifice in vain."
Chi Xiaoyu looked at Grandpa Yan: "Us?"
Grandpa Yan explained, “Now that I’m on the ship with you, I’m with you. I overheard your conversation with those who were chasing you. I know that this little girl named Ya Ya is immune. Everyone has a responsibility to develop a zombie virus to end the apocalypse, so I’m definitely going to accompany you to send this girl to the capital.”
When this old man Yan first came to find Ye Jing, Ye Jing felt that the old man was a bit too enthusiastic. Now that he was openly asking to go to the capital with them, it was definitely not normal. So he asked, "Old man, you're very eager!"
Grandpa Yan replied earnestly, “I have been an outstanding Party member and advanced worker at our dock every year, and I have also been a provincial model worker! I will help our dock workers and their families with anything, big or small, as long as they need my help.”
