The mercenaries were clearly accustomed to dealing with such matters on this journey.
With a hint of mockery, they glanced towards the car, looking at Uncle and Brother Luo Xiaole, who were trembling at the sight of the outside world. "If you're scared, don't get out. Remember, Young Master didn't do anything immoral. He merely redistributed some scarce resources in this apocalypse with his own strength. Understand?"
Uncle and Brother understood the implied meaning behind their words.
Qin Mingyang also got into his car at this moment and rolled down his window.
He said calmly to Uncle and Brother Luo Xiaole in the car behind, "Those who come from the Qin family must have a clean record."
"All you need to do is get rid of the unclean people and matters."
Upon hearing this, they immediately knew it was a threat. So, they quickly responded loudly from the rear car, "The Young Master has been very kind-hearted all along. If it weren't for these ungrateful people who refused to honestly hand over their good things, they wouldn't have ended up like this. Now, these good things have finally fallen into the hands of someone worthy." Uncle's voice was extremely fawning.
"Moreover, there are the old, weak, sick, and disabled among these people. To continue living in the apocalypse would be torture. Under the Young Master's command, they can at least achieve a swift end, which is already a great mercy." The Brother also chimed in, his tone filled with arrogance and self-satisfaction towards the vulnerable.
Qin Mingyang's lips curved into a subtle arc.
He knew they were flattering him, but at least their brains weren't completely useless.
There was no harm in keeping them for now.
The remaining special forces soldiers efficiently disposed of the other bodies in the nearby grass.
After loading all the good items from beside the corpses into the car trunks.
They calmly got back into their cars.
Several cars slowly started, as if nothing had happened.
And continued their journey on the national highway.
...
Meanwhile, Luo Shu and Zhou Xiaojun.
Finally shaking off the crawling tentacle zombies behind them, they sped along the small road on the left of the map, taking a shortcut onto the national highway.
Sweat had even broken out on their foreheads from rushing.
Luo Shu felt a pang of self-blame. Luo Xiaole's situation was clearly more perilous. Those terrifying bat zombies had all rushed towards them just now.
Luo Xiaole wouldn't be able to use that large bell in the car.
So they would have to be forced out of the car to dodge. Those bat zombies were even harder to deal with than the stealthers. Luo Xiaole had told him that her weapons had durability, and under the continuous attacks of the bat zombies, even the great bell wouldn't last long...
The danger for Xiaole and the others had truly escalated. They didn't have a map, what were they going to do...
Zhou Xiaojun was almost completely drained of his abilities.
"Still no news from their side... Xiaole and the others should be quite far from us now..."
Hearing Zhou Xiaojun say this, Luo Shu's hope reignited.
The increasing distance could only mean that Xiaole and the others were still safe and still escaping.
"We have to believe in them," Zhou Xiaojun patted Luo Shu's shoulder.
"You know, when I first met you all, my subconscious thought was that Luo Xiaole's survival probability would be the lowest, and I even worried a little... But look at how far we've come. We've all witnessed it. Regardless of what power she relies on, her current strength is the strongest among us!"
"And there's Mo Chen! I believe they will be fine!"
Energized by Zhou Xiaojun's words, Luo Shu's anxiety lessened considerably.
He rallied himself. "Xiaole and the others are heading in that direction, so they must be heading towards Luocheng Base. We need to hurry."
He pointed to a spot on the map.
"This is a necessary route to Luocheng. Whether it's a fork or a passage, they'll basically have to pass through here. Let's hurry to this spot, and then no matter which direction Xiaole and the others come from, we can meet up."
Luo Shu signaled for the cars behind to stop and communicated with Lin Xia and the others.
Everyone agreed enthusiastically.
So, the group quickly set off, speeding on the national highway.
...
They drove like this for almost the entire day.
Since Luo Shu and Zhou Xiaojun hadn't gotten their driver's licenses yet and couldn't drive.
The two soldiers drove the Qicheng all the way on the long national highway.
"Why don't we drive another ten kilometers or so and find a place to rest for the night?" Luo Shu was actually quite rational and usually had good judgment.
"That's right. Driving at night doubles the risk," Zhou Xiaojun agreed.
The two soldiers were also getting tired, and if unexpected situations arose at night, they might not be able to handle them well.
The car sped up, and everyone was desperately trying to reach a resting place quickly.
"Wait!" Zhou Xiaojun suddenly exclaimed with joy.
"There's the sound of a car ahead! Could it be Xiaole and the others?"
"Quick, let's go see!" Luo Shu was practically jumping out of his skin.
The two soldiers pushed the engine to its limits, accelerating to over 200 kilometers per hour, rapidly approaching the front.
As their car got closer, the few cars in front suddenly stopped.
Blocking Luo Shu's car.
A young master dressed in opulent clothes elegantly stepped out of a car.
Luo Shu's eyes widened...
Why was it Qin Mingyang!
...
Meanwhile, Luo Xiaole and her group, who had also been on the road all day.
Finally, as night was about to fall, they reached another small village ahead.
This village looked even more dilapidated than the one they had just escaped from.
Looking at the entire village, there were only a few scattered houses.
But fortunately, there were no more intricate and winding paths.
The sound of car brakes reached the village...
"Roar..."
Unexpectedly, as Luo Xiaole and the others looked, what emerged were not villagers, but zombies filling up several houses!
It seemed that the few remaining villagers in this village had almost all turned.
Judging by the way things were, there were likely no survivors.
Zhou Shoushan frowned.
"Commander, please get out of the car." Before Luo Xiaole could finish speaking, she had already quickly jumped out of the car.
She found a small open space in front of the car.
Zhou Shoushan did not hesitate. He gestured for the soldiers to quickly follow him out of the car.
And walked to Luo Xiaole's side with Mo Chen.
"It might be a bit dark, please bear with it, Commander," Luo Xiaole's concise and powerful words came quickly.
What? Dark? What was dark?
Zhou Shoushan had not yet reacted.
When he felt something from above, it descended like a dark cloud, covering the sky in an instant.
With a "dong" sound, it completely enveloped the three of them.
Zhou Shoushan's heart skipped a beat.
Immediately after, the sound of waves of zombie roars erupted from outside the object.
As if brushing against their scalps, they swarmed rapidly around everyone.
"Splish!"
