Chapter 299 Four Women and Two Men
Duan Xi spoke very quickly: "Six people, four women and two men, they seem to be students."
"Captain, should we save her or not?" Song Liang asked.
Song Liang could see clearly that the figures were on the fifth floor, and there was a plaque on the outside wall that read "Hip-Hop Street Dance Training School".
Xie Tu pondered for only a moment, then calmly ordered, "Drive the car over there."
He thought the same thing as Yun Zhao.
The appearance of the 'survivors' on their inevitable path may have been a deliberate arrangement by the gatekeeper.
What is the goalkeeper trying to do?
How to deal with them using ordinary survivors?
Or is there a deeper meaning?
But if Team Zero wants to get the key, they must actively seek out survivors.
A long line of zombies followed behind the armored vehicle; we cannot linger here.
The group used firepower to suppress the horde of zombies that were following them.
Upon receiving the order, Tao Haohao stood on the roof of the vehicle and shouted in his loud voice, "Find something to climb to the second floor and jump directly onto the vehicle!"
The window on the fifth floor was open, and the sound could be heard clearly from upstairs.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the students above turned deathly pale.
One girl shook her head, crying, "No, we can't get out. There are zombies all downstairs."
"Easier said than done. How are we going to climb down from the second floor? With the curtains? What if the curtains break and we fall to our deaths?"
"Could you come up and pick us up?"
"You're soldiers, right?"
"Please, please come up and save us..."
Six students, aged seventeen or eighteen, stood by the window crying and begging for help, but refused to step out of the dance studio or try to find tools to come down from upstairs.
Xie Tu's eyes flashed coldly. "Song Liang, let's go!"
Was it a deliberate arrangement by the goalkeeper?
Is this a test of Team Zero's empathy?
In any case, Xie Tu would never let his teammates risk entering an unknown, unfamiliar building to rescue a few complete strangers.
Song Liang shrugged and restarted the car.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the students turned even paler and cried even harder.
"Don't go! Please..."
"Aren't you soldiers? Aren't soldiers supposed to protect us civilians? Why didn't you save us?!"
Six students shouted at the armored vehicle with all their might, their voices filled with despair, anger, and resentment, piercing the sky.
The members of Team Zero remained unmoved.
Yun Zhao sat quietly in the car, without making a sound.
Survival is not about praying, but about relying on yourself.
Since the building is full of zombies, why suggest that they go up and rescue people?
This shows that these students have no regard for other people's lives.
The armored vehicle sped away amidst cries and curses.

With the help of the peregrine falcon to scout the road, the armored vehicle avoided the crowded streets and quickly left the pursuing zombies far behind.
The few stragglers running towards us are nothing to fear.
The sentries were able to rest and put away their weapons.
Tao Haohao, clutching the scorching hot cannon barrel, plopped down next to the oil drum and shouted into the vehicle, "Captain, where do we go now?"
His carefree demeanor showed no sign of being affected by those students.
"Drive towards the sea; there are fewer monsters there," Duan Xi replied.
He said, "The city is too big, so I didn't let the peregrine falcon fly too far. If there were any normal creatures, they would probably all flee to the sea."
It's impossible that there were only those six 'survivors' in the entire contaminated area.
There's an island marked on the map called Peach Blossom Island.
Zombies can't drive boats or yachts, so islands are natural safe havens. In a fantasy apocalypse, the living are most likely to hide there.
If they want the key, they can go up to the island and take a look.
"The seaside?" The rabbit's eyes lit up.
She's never seen what the ocean looks like in all her life.
It's not bad to be able to see something in the contaminated area.
"Qi Ling, have you been here before?" the rabbit couldn't help but ask.
Qi Ling: "No..."
There are many famous tourist attractions in the coastal areas, but he has never been to Rizhao City before.
He probably can't be of much help.
Yun Zhao finally spoke: "However, I think there should be a lot of zombies on the beach, so we can't get to the island."
If all the survivors run that way, a lot of monsters will definitely be attracted there.
Plus, those areas are mostly tourist attractions, places where tourists congregate, so there are probably just as many zombies as here.
Along the way, it seems there is no safe place to be seen.
Xie Tu had just finished checking the ammunition consumption when he turned around and sat down next to her. "So let's not go to the beach first, let's go to the ocean park that's not far from the beach."
"Ocean Park?" the teammates exclaimed in unison.
Xie Tu had clearly studied the map thoroughly, and nodded, saying, "Going to the island is not necessary for us for the time being. Let's first figure out the rules here, identify the arms supply points, and see if we can get the key in the city."
There should be other survivors in the city.
None of them possessed a marine spirit, and if they were trapped on the island by the gatekeeper, it would be detrimental in every way.
Unless... there is a necessity to go to the island to check.
Yun Zhao nodded. "I think so too."
She understood why Xie Tu had chosen Ocean Park.
There are no normal fish in the outside world anymore.
The invasion of dark matter targets all plants and animals on the planet.
Marine organisms have also mutated.
They have become incredibly ferocious, even covered in deadly poison, and are no longer edible or suitable for breeding.
There may still be normal fish in the deep sea, but humans have not yet discovered them.
In addition to finding clues and eliminating the gatekeepers, their mission here also includes searching for supplies.
Living things in the contaminated area cannot be taken out; if they are, they will still undergo mutations.
However, if you can find some uncontaminated fish samples or related fish genetic information in the aquarium, then the trip will not be in vain.
Duan Xi obeyed the order and had the peregrine falcon adjust its route.
The armored vehicle drove towards Ocean Park.

Along the way, zombies could be seen everywhere.
They dragged their decaying and broken bodies, wandering aimlessly through the streets and alleys, their limbs twisted into bizarre angles, their skin festering and oozing pus, emitting a nauseating stench.
Some zombies, with only half a head remaining, still instinctively let out chilling roars at the slightest movement.
The entire Zero Team equipped their guns with silencers.
The armored vehicle charged straight into the aquarium gate, and the sentries raised their guns and opened fire on the oncoming zombies one by one.
Until the last one in sight is cleared.
Everyone got out of the car.
Yun Zhao was the last to get off the car, and when he looked up, he saw huge characters hanging in the air.
A logo with a sun motif suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
The map reads: Sunshine Oceanarium.
Sunshine... Sunlight...
These names, when associated with a dark, apocalyptic vision, become strangely eerie.
Xie Tu silently stood by her side. "Let's go in and take a look."
at the same time.
Just as Duan Xi was about to rush in, he slammed on the brakes and reported in a low voice, "Captain, there are survivors inside."
Duan Xi's expression turned extremely strange. "Four women and two men again!"
