I Just Want To Retire Quietly

Chapter 67: Rescue (V)

Views:

Tan Yan stuffed these people into the subway, which was already full of zombie corpses. With tears in their eyes, they followed the team to find transportation. They were sad and afraid. They were sad that those who had strayed into the other world with them had lost their humanity, and they were afraid that they would become like them one day in the future.

Five members of the special power team led the team, while Tan Yan and Liang Xian stayed behind to protect the elderly, the weak, the sick and the injured who were unable to go out.

Liang Xian sat on the ground helplessly. He looked at his shaking hands and gently covered his face.

"Thank you." He said in a hoarse voice.

Thank you for not letting me shoot, thank you for not letting me shoot ordinary people.

Unlike Tu Zishi who kicked a steel pipe to attack the zombie to save Liang Xian, that person had evil intentions and maliciously wanted to turn Liang Xian into a zombie while he still had some humanity. Killing him was a form of self-protection.

But these people are different. They turned into zombies because of the negligence of the superpower team.

No matter how hard seven people try, it is impossible to take care of everyone. There will always be people who are exhausted and accidentally injured by zombies in places they can't see.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Liang Xian had to say that it was too difficult to save everyone and they couldn't do it.

Seeing him like this, Tan Yan couldn't reach out to hug this vulnerable child. He could only stand behind Liang Xian and say, "It's my fault."

It was because I was determined to save people, to save everyone, that I put all this burden on Liang Xian, forcing him to be ruthless and forcing him to point the wooden hatch at the people he was supposed to protect.

"No, you are not wrong." Liang Xian said, "You are our benchmark for progress. You can't be wrong. The only ones who are wrong are us who are too weak."

If everyone had Tan Yan's strength, he could capture a high-level zombie alive among thousands of soldiers and horses, forcing the high-level zombie who could control tens of thousands of zombies to struggle desperately under the restraint of the rope.

How great it would be if there were seven Tan Yans. The funny thing is that these people who always claim to protect the people, actually need Tan Yan's protection as soon as the world is a little dangerous.

Liang Xian, who was sitting on the ground, leaned back, let himself lean on Tan Yan's legs, and slowly closed his eyes.

Tan Yan did not say anything else. Everyone has experienced this feeling of powerlessness. After all, humans are not gods. If you want to overcome it, you need to step over this hurdle yourself.

It's not that Tan Yan is not sad, but he has learned to be patient. Moreover, in this environment, he cannot show the slightest bit of weakness.

Everyone was looking at him. As long as Tan Yan was fearless, there was nothing to be afraid of.

At this moment, Liang Xian suddenly understood the pressure that Tan Yan had been carrying. He was just a monkey relying on Tan Yan's power, and he felt such great pressure in the expectant eyes of the people waiting for rescue. But he still had Tan Yan to rely on, so how could Tan Yan, who had nothing to rely on, bear it

He is far behind in both strength and character.

Before everyone came back, Liang Xian calmed himself down, stood up, pulled the power bank to an open space outside the door, and waited for everyone to come back to charge.

Sure enough, not long after, everyone came back with electric bikes. Those who got the electric bikes could go to the toilet or rest in groups. Everyone was tired and thirsty, but Tan Yan and his friends' backpacks were too small, so they could only carry enough medicine and a small amount of water, but no food.

I was in a supermarket, but all the food had been taken away. The feeling of being hungry, thirsty and tired was really suffocating.

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "How long will we ride the electric bike? Where are we going? How long will it take to get home? It's already dawn, and I have to go to work today..."

"We'll be home tonight." Liang Xian didn't mention the distance, but simply said, "We must be home before tonight. This is our mission, don't worry."

At the latest, he must not go beyond a certain point; this is what he always remembers.

Although we were very hungry, we gritted our teeth and persevered, thinking that it was just one day without food or water and we could still endure it.

In addition, Qiu Qizheng and his men pushed four relatively intact buses over and said with a slightly worried look, "There is no oil, what should we do?"

"I can modify the energy system and use electricity temporarily. It should be no problem to walk to the gas station." Liang Xian said.

But which gas station still has oil? This is a problem. In this strange world, no one will help them solve it.

Liang Xian can only rely on Tu Zishi's predictive ability. He had accurately helped Liang Xian escape a disaster before. It seems that in this world, Tu Zishi's ability is stronger than in the real society.

"Let's go east," Tu Zishi closed his eyes and thought for a while, "There should be oil there, but... there are a lot of zombies, and because it's a gas station, it's not easy to use weapons."

"It's normal. If there are fewer zombies, there won't be any oil." Liang Xian said calmly, "I hope that thing works."

That guy refers to the mutant zombie that was tied up by Tan Yan. Since Tan Yan caught him, there have been no zombies near the supermarket. The process of finding transportation was also smooth. Occasionally, they encountered a few zombies, and the superpower team solved them easily.

"It looks like ordinary zombies won't approach places with high-level zombies unless they are summoned." Ah San said, "Then why didn't we encounter any zombies when we first arrived at the supermarket? Could it be that..."

"Yes, we probably fell into this guy's lair." Liang Xian said, "When he saw that we were numerous, he probably guessed that we were very strong, so he didn't attack directly, but called the ordinary zombies around to come over, wanting to use a human wave offensive."

Unfortunately, they met Tan Yan, a humanoid nuclear weapon, who has now become their amulet.

Qiu Qizheng frowned and said, "It will indeed be much smoother with him around, but this amount of power is not enough to complete the journey. What should I do?"

"Let's take it one step at a time. There should be quite a few factories near City B. If they are factories, they must have large power sources." Liang Xian was helpless about this. The endurance of electric vehicles is really not as good as that of motor vehicles. They need to be recharged after running at full speed for three or four hours.

The power supply modified by Liang Xian charged very quickly. By nine o'clock in the morning, when the sun was shining brightly and the weather was getting warmer, a total of 400 electric vehicles and four buses had been fully charged, and the subway's power supply was completely used up.

"The injured, the elderly and children, pregnant women, and adult women and men should all get on the electric bikes, two each." Liang Xian ordered.

Everyone was very tired, and many people were very dissatisfied with the order to ride electric bikes, but because they were afraid of Liang Xian, they all got on the bikes obediently.

Those who can ride a bicycle are driving, and the passengers hold steel pipes to protect the driver.

Tu Zishi is the team leader, and all the vehicles behind follow him. He can find places where there are fewer zombies, where there may be food and water, and where there is energy. His predictive ability is almost being used by Liang Xian as a treasure-hunting rat.

Everyone was organized. Tan Yan, Liang Xian and Qiu Qizhen followed the main group on both sides and at the rear respectively. The team of 400 electric vehicles looked very spectacular, with four people in a row, stretching out for two or three hundred meters.

Such a team must be very attractive. After driving at a speed of 30km/h for more than half an hour, we saw a convoy before leaving the urban area of City B.

They were all armed vehicles, and they were modified and equipped with weapons. When they saw the convoy of Tan Yan and others, they drove over directly.

Liang Xian narrowed his eyes, rode his bike to the front and dealt with the other party.

The entire convoy stopped obediently and moved closer to Liang Xian, wanting to listen to their conversation. Tan Yan led the zombies to the back of the team, keeping watch for everyone.

The people on the bus did not get off. They were all vulnerable groups and were very scared when they saw the armored vehicle. They did not dare to get off the bus. They just gathered around the door, opened it and listened to their conversation.

A group of people holding wooden magazines got off the car. There were both men and women. They all looked very powerful, and each of them had a pair of eyes that had experienced many battles. However, their steps and movements were not so regular, and they did not look like those of formally trained soldiers.

But they are all very strong.

When they saw the troops, some people in the convoy wanted to call for help, but Liang Xian turned back and glanced at everyone in advance, and no one dared to speak, because everyone was afraid of him.

The leader was an unarmed, gentle-looking man. He looked at Liang Xian at first sight, walked over and asked, "Which base are you from? Where did you receive so many survivors?"

Base… Liang Xian thought quickly and said, "We are not a base, just a group of people who have been living in a prison in City B. There are food and drinks there, as well as high walls and electric fences. After killing all the zombies in the prison, no one from outside can come in. Now that the food reserves are all gone, we came out to find a way to survive."

He couldn't say that those people were survivors. They looked very orderly, which meant that the end of this world had lasted for a long time and many powerful groups had formed. It was impossible for the survivors at this time to be clean and not have suffered any hardship. The only excuse was that they had found a paradise.

"I see," the leader believed it. "No wonder you all look like you just came out of the ordinary world. Your eyes are so weak. You guys..."

He glanced at the members of the superpower team: "Are you the leaders? What are your plans with so many people?"

Liang Xian had just looked at the navigation on the bus. Ping County here is also called Ping County, so he replied: "Go to Ping County. That's my hometown. I want to go and see it."

"Ping County?" The man sneered. "Don't even think about it. Only a madman would go there. That's the lair of the Zombie King."

"Zombie King?" Liang Xian stretched out his hand, and an ordinary man behind him immediately took out a box of high-end cigarettes from his arms. He handed the cigarettes to the leader and said, "We have been hiding in the prison. We ran out because we had no food and couldn't stand the hunger. We really don't know what the situation is outside. We only know about zombies. What is the Zombie King?"

The man took the cigarette, sniffed it greedily, and showed an intoxicated expression: "You are so lucky to find an outdoor paradise. You don't even know common sense. Let me help you. Zombies are divided into five levels. Level one is ordinary zombies. Level two is abnormal species. Their speed and strength are far beyond that of humans. Ordinary people have difficulty dealing with them. Only people with special abilities and special forces can fight them. Level three zombies have added self-healing abilities on the basis of level two zombies. They have preliminary intelligence and can deceive humans. Level four zombies are not much different from humans in appearance and can control ordinary zombies. There are level four zombies in city B that can control tens of thousands of ordinary zombies at a time. Level five is the zombie king. It is not clear how powerful it is. Anyway, everyone who went to Ping County has died."

"Oh." Liang Xian raised his eyebrows. The person tied to the back seat of Tan Yan's car was probably the level 4 zombie from City B.

"Then...how many level 4 zombies and zombie kings are there?" Liang Xian asked again.

"One level four zombie appears out of one million ordinary zombies, and one zombie king appears out of ten million." The man called zombies "zombies", obviously no longer considering them as human beings. "City B has a population of tens of millions, and half of them mutated when the disaster broke out. Some were killed by people, and some were consumed by each other. In total, three level four zombies and one level five zombies were born. One level four zombie has been killed by the mutant of Hope Base, and there are two left, one is nearby, and the other is in West City. As for why the zombie king ran from City B to Ping County, no one knows."

"I understand. Thank you, big brother." Liang Xian tried his best to give a well-behaved smile.

The man twitched his face and said, "For the sake of this pack of cigarettes, I have to give you a piece of advice, brother. You can pretend to be willful and domineering, but don't pretend to be obedient. You have the aura of a superior person all over your body, which is too fake."

Liang Xian: “…”

"What about that person with super powers?" Liang Xian continued to ask.

He needed to obtain more information from the man so that he could go to Ping County with greater confidence.

"You don't know this?" The man was stunned. "You've walked all the way here, and no one has awakened superpowers? After the end of the world, some people have awakened, such as power, speed, and some nature powers. How can you deal with zombies without superpowers?"

No wonder the ionizing radiation in this world is so active, it turns out this is a world with super powers. It's a pity that the people in this world don't know the principles of super powers, and really think that it is the power generated by the flesh, and don't realize the role of the brain.

Before Liang Xian could figure out how to make up his story, he heard someone in the crowd shout, "I, I've awakened my superpowers!"

The man ran out and opened his hands towards Liang Xian. A small flame emerged from his palms.

The faces of the people in the superpower team all changed, and they all looked at Liang Xian.

The thing they worried about most finally happened.

Awakening superpowers means countless troubles, both in this world and returning to the real world.

The man who had awakened his superpowers seemed to be going crazy with joy. He held up the flame in his hand and laughed wildly: "Hahahahahahaha, I have become a superpower. I don't have to look at your face anymore. You all have to listen to me. Wait for me to reply..."

Liang Xian kicked him on the back and stomped him to the ground. He said in a very cold voice: "Why, you want to rebel against the heaven just because you have superpowers? Burn me, burn me, come on, let me see how much fire you can produce!"

He was just a person who had just awakened his superpowers and had not received any professional training. It was good enough for him to light a flame, but of course he could not hurt Liang Xian. After being stepped on the ground and screaming a few times, he fainted.

Liang Xian stopped pretending to be good. He looked at everyone with a sinister look, and looked down at the fainted psychic from a high position and said, "Nothing more than that."

The man had probably seen many ruthless people like Liang Xian in the apocalypse, so he didn't think he was too ruthless. Instead, he smiled and said, "It seems that my brother has a lot of prestige in your team, which is pretty good. But superpowers also have levels. Of course, you can't do much when you just awaken, and you will have a fever, headache, or even coma, and you will be weak for a while. But his superpower type is good, and the fire type will be very strong when the level is raised in the future."

These words were like venom injected into the hearts of the crowd. Liang Xian looked at the man. He thought that he had said this on purpose in order to destroy the unity of their team.

"Do you want to go to our base?" Sure enough, the man continued, "We welcome adult men and beautiful girls. The facilities in our base are very complete. As long as you work, you can get a house. How about it?"

Oh, so it was to attract people to the base. Indeed, if so many people were of one mind, they would be a powerful force after entering the base. The man was just a small leader after all, so of course he didn't want to have such a large force. But he wanted to attract people to the base, so he naturally had to sow discord among them first.

If they were really people living in the apocalypse, they might want to find a safe base to settle down even if they knew it was a trap. Unfortunately, they are not.

Liang Xian was about to refuse when he saw Aunt Yang, who was the first to kill the zombie, riding her electric scooter directly into the man's legs.

"Young man, do you really think I'm a fool? What do you mean by welcoming pretty girls? What are you thinking? I'm telling you, our Captain Xiao Liang is the best. I won't listen to anyone else except him!"

The girl sitting behind her also took turns to play with the steel pipe: "That's right, Captain Xiao Liang is much more handsome than you!"

The author has something to say: Liang Xian (gloomy face): I always thought that I was the captain because of my ability, but I didn’t expect that I was the captain because of my looks…

Auntie: Face is also a kind of strength. I like to look at your face and support you for it!
