Damn zombies, how dare they disguise themselves as humans!

"Oh, what do you mean by 'dog'?"

Director Qian immediately put on a stern face and said, "Young comrade, don't speak so harshly. We are in a critical period now, and you have the ability, so you should help us, right? Only if we live can we lead the survivors to fight for a new home in the future."

Upon hearing this, the others behind him also shouted at Luo Tian:

"That's right, in these extraordinary times, we must stand together."

"Regardless of your status, you should contribute your strength."

"With your abilities, isn't it only right that you rescue us survivors?"

"Yes, with great power comes great responsibility."

"If you stand by and watch someone die, what's the difference between you and a zombie?"

"That's right. Besides, we're not ordinary people; we're people of status and position! Our lives are precious."

"Besides, escorting us out of the city isn't like we're not giving you anything in return. Whatever you want, it's just a matter of a word from us, isn't it?"

"Like you just said about being a dog, in the past, even if someone wanted to be our dog, not just anyone had the qualifications to be one."

"Even now, it's the same. Once we leave the city, do you think just anyone will be our dog?"

"Hmph, what's wrong with being a dog? It lets you turn your life around! It lets you never lack food or drink! It lets you have power! It lets you become a superior person!"

"You should cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"That's right! This is a rare opportunity. You should be aware that it's not us begging you to escort us, but you begging to escort us."

Luo Tian looked at this group of hypocritical people with increasingly cold eyes.

He didn't want to kill anyone, or rather, he didn't want to kill indiscriminately.

Just like his style of doing things, he wouldn't rescue or kill anyone he saw, and he didn't have the time or energy to do such things; everything was based on the mission.

In the apocalypse, the most important thing is to quickly improve your strength to ensure your own survival, and then protect the family you want to protect.

Like now, he doesn't want to waste time, and he doesn't want to use skills, otherwise he'll have to wait for the cooldown.

But some people are truly courting death, resorting to moral blackmail and reckless behavior, determined to get themselves killed.

No nonsense,

Luo Tian was preparing to make his move.

But perhaps he suddenly thought of something, and he glanced up in the direction of the mission's objective.

Luo Tian's eyes flickered for a moment, then he pretended to hesitate before putting down the Thunder Blade and saying to the crowd, "Alright, I'll escort you."

"Young comrade, that's more like it."

Director Qian was not surprised by this, as if he had expected it; he had seen many people like this before.

People weigh the pros and cons before doing anything; it's human nature. If there are huge benefits and you have the ability, why not do it?

Seeing Luo Tian sheath his sword and approach, he habitually adopted a condescending tone, lecturing him: "People must know how to assess the situation and seize opportunities. Opportunities are fleeting; once missed, they're gone. If you grasp them, your luck will turn around. Just like right now, I am your lucky star and your benefactor. With this connection, your future will be limitless!"

That's a lot...

Why does it look so familiar?

Luo Tian thought about it and realized that Du Hai had said something similar not long ago.

But Du Hai, who considered himself his lucky charm, had long since faded away.

"Young man, is there anything to eat?"

After giving him a lecture, Director Qian walked over and reached out his hand, saying, "Hurry up and bring out the food; we haven't eaten in a long time."

"no."

Luo Tian ignored him and walked right past him.

Director Qian froze for a moment, his face instantly turning gloomy.

What an ignorant brat!

How dare you treat yourself like this?

And if there's no food, don't you just go looking for it? Do I need to say it again?

Suppressing his anger, Director Qian didn't say much, but simply raised his hand in a gesture of respect.

The five people next to him were also starving, and upon receiving instructions from their supervisor, they immediately began shouting and yelling:

"Don't you have any common sense? Why don't you go look for food when there isn't any?"

"Without food, how can I walk if I have no strength?"

"Yeah, you're full, but we're still hungry."

"What if we encounter a horde of zombies on the road? We won't even be able to run away."

"We'll wait in the building by the roadside. You go find it quickly."

"It would be best if we could find some meat, a lot of it, so we can eat and drink our fill before we leave."

"Hurry up, don't dawdle."

Luo Tian stopped in his tracks.

He couldn't help but raise the Thunder Blade in his hand slightly.

After calming himself down and controlling his emotions, he turned to the group and said, "Wandering zombies could appear here at any time. My temporary hiding place is just ahead. I'll take you there to hide first, and after you're settled, I'll go out and find you some food."

Director Qian and others were very dissatisfied upon hearing this, and some even cursed.

But for safety reasons, they didn't say anything more and followed.

Not long after I left, a system notification suddenly appeared in my mind.

[WARNING! Special mission target is located 50 meters to your right front. Host, please prepare for combat. Entering within 50 meters may result in an attack from the target.]

Luo Tian suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Front right?

Following the system prompts, Luo Tian's gaze quickly settled on a two-story shop on the right side of the road in the distance.

A signboard lay fallen on the ground in front of the shop, the words "Someone is a Pet Shop" faintly visible.

"Why have you stopped?"

Director Qian stepped forward from behind: "Have we arrived?"

"Um."

Luo Tian raised his sword and pointed: "It's that pet shop."

"Is it safe?" someone asked instinctively.

"It's safe. I just cleared out the zombies inside, and I also thoroughly cleaned up the surrounding buildings. There's no danger at all. You guys go inside the pet shop first, and I'll go out and find you some food."

After saying that, Luo Tian turned to Director Qian and instructed him, "Remember! Stay inside and don't wander around, or don't blame me if something happens."

"Okay, go ahead, and come back quickly."

Director Qian nodded and watched Luo Tian turn and leave.

"Um... Director, is this kid reliable?"

Watching Luo Tian disappear among the buildings, the bespectacled woman couldn't help but worry: "What if that kid doesn't come back?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Director Qian sneered:

"He won't run away if there's profit to be made."

"Besides, if he didn't want to save us, why did he specifically bring us to his hiding place?"

"Let's go to the pet store and wait for that kid to come back."

"With this kid's skills, finding some food won't be difficult, and escorting us out won't be difficult either."

"Once we leave the city and enter our territory, no matter how powerful he is, we can still do whatever we want to him."

"A person with such skills has no value if they cannot be used by me."
