Damn zombies, how dare they disguise themselves as humans!

"Don't leave!"

"No one is allowed to leave!"

"My husband hasn't arrived yet!"

Under the cover of night, in the city overrun by zombies, howls and gunshots filled the air.

On the outskirts of the city, inside the last military rescue bus, Su Rou stood by the front window, clutching the car keys and leaning out as if to throw them into the river. Her bloodshot eyes looked at the dense crowd of survivors a few steps away, and at the two young rescue soldiers in uniform at the front of the group. She cried out, "My husband is still behind us. We have to wait for him to come before we can leave!"

"But there's no time!"

One of the soldiers glanced anxiously at the intense gunfire coming from the darkness outside the window and said quickly, "The rearguard is about to collapse. Every second of delay could result in the deaths of several or even dozens of men. If the horde of zombies breaks through the lines and surrounds the vehicles, we will all die. So we must evacuate immediately. That's an order!"

"What kind of orders are these! I don't care!"

Su Rou's voice suddenly rose, almost hysterical: "If you don't want to wait, then hurry up and go down and rescue him! He might be lost in the back. If you search carefully, you'll definitely find him. I can't leave until my husband comes. Nobody's leaving until he does!"

The two young soldiers looked conflicted, their fingers gripping the automatic rifles so tightly they were turning slightly white.

Behind them, among the crowded survivors, some wanted to say something but were afraid of upsetting Su Rou and making her throw the car keys into the river.

Without the key, they can't drive the car, and they're doomed.

Within the crowd,

Luo Tian stared coldly at Su Rou, his chest heaving violently.

At that moment, he really wanted to rush up and strangle that stupid woman.

"Damn sanctimonious bitch!"

"This is an attempt to kill everyone!"

Cursing under his breath, Luo Tian could only suppress his emotions and ask in his mind, "System, hasn't the judgment been completed yet?"

Dead silence.

There was no response.

"What are you all standing there for? Get out and save my husband!"

Ahead, Su Rou glared at the two young soldiers, her eyes filled with anger: "You wear military uniforms and carry weapons, aren't you supposed to protect us? Aren't you supposed to save lives and be selfless? Didn't you come into the city to rescue everyone? My husband is right outside, and you're abandoning him, only caring about your own escape. Do you even deserve to be soldiers?"

"Exactly, you're right!"

At this moment, a middle-aged woman squeezed out from the crowd, looked at the two young soldiers, and scolded them: "There are still people outside, and you're in such a hurry to leave? Are you even human? Have you lost your conscience? If it were your parents, would you be so heartless as to leave? Besides, soldiers are supposed to protect civilians. If you can't even save civilians, what kind of soldiers are you?"

"Yes, two young soldiers."

As soon as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, an old man stepped forward. His cloudy eyes looked at the two soldiers, and he sighed deeply, saying earnestly, "If this girl loses her husband, how will she survive in this world? You two hurry out and look for her. It won't be long. We can wait. We're just ordinary people. These days, there are monsters everywhere that eat people. If you don't protect us, who else can we rely on to protect us?"

Those two old scoundrels!

Upon seeing this scene, Luo Tian, ​​standing in the crowd, took a deep breath, his blood pressure soaring.

Frustrated, he couldn't help but ask in his mind again, "System, how long are you going to take your time to determine something so obvious?"

Unfortunately, there was still no response.

"Auntie, uncle, it's not that we don't want to help."

Ahead, facing the two men's accusations, a soldier could only suppress his impatience and patiently explain, "As I just said, there really wasn't time to search. Every second we spent rescuing you and ensuring your safe evacuation was bought with the lives of the rearguard. We can't let our brothers die in vain. Besides, it's pitch black outside. Searching blindly would not only leave us without finding anyone, but would also endanger the dozens of people in the vehicle. Our mission is to prioritize your evacuation..."

Just then, his communicator suddenly rang, accompanied by the clear sounds of gunfire, explosions, and shouts: "Buzz buzz buzz... This is Wu Qingshan, commander of the rearguard. Calling for the rescue team. Have all the rescue vehicles been evacuated? We can't hold out any longer, prepare to retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the soldier quickly took out his communicator: "Reporting, Commander! There's still one rescue vehicle that hasn't been evacuated."

"There's another one? What are you dawdling for? Get out of here... *zzzzzz*..."

Perhaps the signal was too weak, causing communication to be intermittent: "Damn it... halt the retreat! Everyone hold your ground and continue to hold off the horde of zombies! Cover the rescue vehicles behind... Zzz... Bang bang bang... Boom boom... Ah..."

A cacophony of gunfire, violent explosions, and the agonizing screams of soldiers dying emanated from the communicator.

The critical situation, especially the series of piercing screams, made the two young soldiers' hearts clench instantly, and even made their bodies tremble slightly. They felt guilty and ashamed for their comrades who should not have died but were killed because of their delay.

Before the two could speak, Su Rou, standing by the front window, shouted, "The troops are holding off the horde of zombies! Aren't you two going to get out there and find my husband? If you keep delaying like this, even more soldiers will die, and every single one of them will be your fault! Your fault!!"

The middle-aged women and men also chimed in:

"What's wrong with you two young soldiers? Is it really that hard for you to go out and find someone?"

"Hurry up and go out to search. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can leave, and the rearguard can retreat sooner."

"I've never seen such cowardly soldiers. Once we're out of here, I'm definitely going to complain to your superiors about your incompetence!"

"What are you afraid of with guns? If you encounter zombies, just shoot them. Hurry up while the troops are still covering the rear!"

"..."

The two soldiers were probably too young, looking no more than 20 years old. They were being scolded and urged on by the middle-aged woman and man, and suddenly they seemed completely lost, even as if they were being forced to get out of the car to search for the missing soldiers.

But Luo Tian, ​​standing in the crowd, really couldn't stand it anymore.

"System! If you don't make a judgment soon, I'm quitting this stupid mission. If I stay here any longer, I'll definitely get screwed over by these three idiots!"

After waiting for a few seconds, just as Luo Tian was about to give up and run away, a cold, mechanical voice finally rang in his mind.

[Ding! Judgment complete.]

[Target: Su Rou.]

[Judgment: Clean up.]

As soon as the voice fell, Luo Tian, ​​who had been waiting impatiently, quickly squeezed out of the crowd.

In the next instant, his figure transformed into a gust of wind, rushing past the two soldiers.

With incredible speed, leaving only a blur, he arrived in front of the unresponsive Su Rou in the blink of an eye, and swiftly reached out to grab her hair.

As he pulled him over, he also snatched the car keys from his hand.

then,

With a bang, Su Rou was thrown straight out of the car door.

Looking at the woman tumbling and screaming on the road outside the car, Luo Tian said angrily:

"I've put up with you for too long!"

"Damn zombies! How dare they disguise themselves as humans!"
