Chapter 222 - 222 Transferring the Convoy

Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Transferring the Convoy

Liang Wei and Li Haochu in the refuge had also heard the screams outside, and when they saw the two return, they didn’t ask any questions. As long as that person received the punishment they deserved, it was enough.

The survivors who were to be moved today had already packed up and were just waiting to line up and board the vehicles.

“Thank you,” Lu Hao said to Liang Wei.

Liang Wei patted Lu Hao’s shoulder. He knew what Lu Hao was thanking him for. Although he did not know the grievance between Lu Hao and Su Jin and that woman, he trusted them. He believed that these two would not have gone to such lengths without a very serious reason.

“Be careful on the road,” Liang Wei said.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Liang,”

Su Jin said with a smile. After yesterday’s mission, she no longer thought this mission would be that difficult. It was only that there were more people to move today, so the length of the convoy had increased significantly. Therefore, they still had to be careful.

Li Haochu, as usual, had arranged for the guard squad today, but he hadn’t arranged separate vehicles this time. Instead, like with Su Jin and Lu Hao, he dispersed the Special Ability Users and soldiers among all the vehicles.

This decision had been made after discussing with Liang Wei. With the addition of Su Jin and Lu Hao, this arrangement was the most suitable.

“You also be careful, it’s no longer safe here,”

Su Jin said to them before getting on the vehicle. She really admired Liang Wei; as the administrator here, he had not run off to the base first but had stayed to oversee this place, determined to remain until the end. Such leadership was truly rare.

“Rest assured, I will watch over this place,”

Li Haochu said as he gestured to the front to start moving.

As usual, Su Jin followed the lead vehicle. The survivors being moved today were no longer reluctant or complaining. The incident with the zombie rats that morning was still fresh in everyone’s mind, and all understood that the refuge was no longer safe and that it would be better to head to a secure base sooner.

The driver of this vehicle was still the same one who had been at the forefront yesterday. Knowing that Su Jin would be accompanying them again today, he felt quite reassured. He had decided that if Su Jin told him to stop, he would do so without question, never again doubting the young girl’s strength.

Today, Su Jin didn’t take out their own walkie-talkies, because this morning Liang Jiuhui had given them many walkie-talkies, enough for each vehicle to have one.

“Zombies! There are zombies outside!”

A man suddenly exclaimed.

Su Jin was somewhat speechless; they had just started moving, and only two zombies had heard the noise and come over.

Bang! Bang!

The driver, not phased, ran over the two zombies that lunged at them and said, “What are you all scared of? You’re not even as brave as this young girl. It’s just a couple of zombies. Don’t you see, I’m a driver, but I squish hundreds, if not dozens, every day!”

“Master, you’re awesome, almost on par with a Special Ability User,” a voice came from the back.

“Hahahaha,”

The driver’s words lightened the mood in the vehicle considerably, and even Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh. However, she reminded the driver to focus on driving without getting distracted.

The driver nodded and continued to drive attentively.

Completely opposite to the atmosphere in Su Jin’s vehicle was the situation in the last vehicle where Lu Hao was stationed.

Following the last vehicle were more than a dozen zombies. The people sitting in the last row were all crouching down with their heads in their hands, and some girls had already started crying.

“Driver, can you drive faster? Those monsters are catching up,” someone couldn’t help but shout.

“I wish I could go faster, but I have to follow the vehicle in front,” the driver replied helplessly.

“Why am I so unlucky to be in the last vehicle? If only I had known, I would have lined up earlier,” lamented a man with glasses.

Moreover, the man with the cold face inside the car looks so terrifying. He hasn’t said a word for so long.

Lu Hao: …

Many people were silently watching the scenery outside the window, looking at the city that has now become riddled with holes.

The Civic Plaza, once filled with the laughter and voices of children, had become a desolate land stained red with dark blood, with dried-up corpses yet to turn to skeletons lying beside the broken fountain…

In the middle of the road and on the stairs, there were also some zombies that stood motionless but began to move slowly forward when they heard the sound of the cars, and even more zombies were running quickly.

“Such a short distance traveled, and there are already so many zombies outside!”

“I feel like every second in the car is torture…”

“Can the front car go a bit faster, please!”

The noise inside the car gradually increased, and the drivers became somewhat irritated.

“Keep quiet!”

Lu Hao slowly turned his head and said four words.

The car quieted down for a moment, then someone grumbled unwillingly, “Just because you’re carrying a sword doesn’t mean you can act all high and mighty.”

“That’s right, young man. The soldiers in our refuge are very nice to us. You should learn from them,” a middle-aged woman also advised earnestly.

Seeing that only a few people were muttering under their breath, Lu Hao didn’t say anything else, but continued to observe the outside situation.

Just as the survivors in the car feared, the number of zombies outside was increasing.

Because the number of survivors transferred today was large, the convoy was quite long. Now, almost every car was gradually surrounded by zombies, and behind this last one, there was a significant number of zombies following.

Although Lu Hao was used to such scenes, it didn’t mean that everyone else could stay calm.

The situation in the cars ahead was not much better: the first car’s hood was covered in dark bloodstains, the once cheerful passengers had become increasingly tense. Those sitting by the windows had already shrunk down as putrid-faced zombies would occasionally lunge at the windows with gaping mouths.

Su Jin was about to ask about the situation at the rear but then heard a loud noise outside.

What happened?!

Everyone in the car stood up simultaneously and looked back, but due to the long convoy and blind spots, they could not see what was happening in the rear.

After a few crackling sounds from the walkie-talkie, a man’s voice came through: “Car number 8 has encountered a Wind Element Zombie and has overturned. Casualties… the situation is unclear.”

Su Jin quickly surveyed the surroundings; luckily, they were stopped at an intersection, where the space was quite open.

“All cars, listen up. Form up in the planned formation and stop together; we’re going down to provide support,” Su Jin spoke into the walkie-talkie.

“Roger that.”

This was a strategy they had discussed before departing today: if they encountered a large number of zombies or Mutated Zombies on the road, all cars needed to stop together first. This made it easier to gather and protect everyone and facilitated the assembly of combat-capable individuals from each car.

“There are weapons for self-defense in the bucket in front of the car—if you encounter danger, please protect yourself first.”

Su Jin dropped this line and got out of the car, paying no attention to the resistance of the people inside,

The driver nodded, closed the car door, and by then the other vehicles had also stopped alongside.

Car number 8 had indeed rolled over by the roadside, and the Wind Element Zombie was still relentlessly attacking the car body with its Wind Blades!
