Shen Feng held the map and kept studying it, while the zombies continuously advanced towards the construction site. Shen Feng estimated that he could depart in about an hour. By then, all the close-range zombies would have been drawn to the construction site, leaving the streets clear of obstacles, and he could set out to rescue people.
Afterwards, Shen Feng handed the map to Li Xiang beside him and said, "Later, you will proceed along the route I've drawn. The target is the primary school here. Do you understand?"
Li Xiang looked at the map in his hand and couldn't help but frown, asking, "There's a closer shortcut here. If we're in a hurry, why don't we just take the shortcut? Of course, I'm not doubting your decision, President, I just want to know the reason."
Shen Feng explained, "The shortcut here is very close, but have you considered that once this road is blocked, we won't even have a chance to turn back? So, it's better to take the main road. If we get blocked, we can advance directly on the sidewalk, but that's impossible on a shortcut!"
Li Xiang understood Shen Feng's consideration, but at this moment, he suddenly realized something. Why were they going to the primary school?
Li Xiang looked at Shen Feng's profile, and a bold guess formed in his mind. Could it be that they weren't going to fight, but to rescue people? He heard that the Vice President had a younger brother whose fate was unknown! If that were the case, could the students being rescued include the Vice President's brother?
"It's not just that!" Once Li Xiang's imagination started, it couldn't stop. He began to think about when this plan to rescue the Vice President's brother began. It seemed to have started yesterday when they were excavating the fortifications, but thinking more carefully, the people working were found earlier.
Not only the workers, but even the excavator drivers were from the previous construction team. Thinking further, could this matter have started from the moment Shen Feng became President? Or even from the moment he entered the school, had this plan already taken shape?
Li Xiang thought a lot. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that everyone had fallen into a trap, a trap set by the President and the Vice President? These two had calculated everyone involved in the plan. Then, what about the President's statement about reclaiming all of Luzhou? Was it a slogan or the truth?
It was truly terrifying to think that nearly two thousand people were acting for a secret plan, and this plan was even carried out under the banner of justice!
It could be said that if his guess was correct, Shen Feng and Chang Jianyi were using their more than two thousand subordinates for their own purposes. Wasn't this treating others as cannon fodder? Such a ruthless plan, was it really devised by these two people?
If even a small part of the plan went wrong, it wouldn't just be these two who died, but over two thousand people would be killed by zombies! 138 Reading Network
At this moment, Shen Feng patted Li Xiang's shoulder. Li Xiang, lost in thought, was startled and stammered, "President, is something wrong?"
Shen Feng smiled and said, "I see you're so serious. I wanted to ask if you have any questions. What's going on? It's just a couple of turns, no need to be so serious, right?"
"Heh, I was just looking casually, studying the map. Maybe it'll be useful in the future!" Li Xiang said with a foolish smile.
Shen Feng shrugged and casually leaned back in his seat. However, he reminded Li Xiang, "In fifty minutes, if I'm not awake, wake me up."
After that, Shen Feng began to doze off in the passenger seat. If the plan went perfectly, there wouldn't be much danger. But if any zombies weren't lured away, then everyone would face a vast horde of zombies, and it would be inevitable to fight. Whether they could survive was uncertain.
Beside Shen Feng lay a steel pipe, his current weapon. His previous samurai sword had many nicks, so Shen Feng chose the steel pipe as his weapon. It was a bit ugly, but very durable.
Meanwhile, at the construction site, everyone was anxiously watching the large pit. Ten minutes had passed, and the zombies had not yet filled the bottom of the pit. The zombies that had fallen into the pit could no longer climb out. The plan was still successful so far.
However, not only were ordinary zombies being attracted, but mutated zombies had also appeared. Speed type zombies and strong type zombies were the most numerous. Not far away, there were even tank zombies. Fortunately, their numbers were not particularly large. There were also six evolved individuals present. At this moment, a speed type zombie charged over, but was immediately attacked by the six of them working together. In the end, the speed type zombie was killed on the spot, its head severed, and the body was thrown into the pit.
Yu Ren Shu threw the zombie's head into a box. She didn't want to carry the ugly thing around. At this moment, she noticed a strange phenomenon: some of the zombies trampled to death below were starting to eat the brains of the dead zombies. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Do zombies evolve into mutated zombies by increasing the virus concentration in their bodies by eating brains?"
Chang Jianyi looked at the dense mass of zombies below, about five thousand of them, but they still hadn't filled the first layer of the large pit because there were always gaps among the zombies. If they were placed so densely, perhaps this pit could hold tens of thousands of zombies!
"Pour the gasoline, pour all the gasoline down," Chang Jianyi commanded.
Yang Chang hesitated and asked, "Vice President, shouldn't we wait a bit? If we pour gasoline now, what if more zombies fall in later? Wouldn't that extinguish the flames after covering them?"
"It's not that easy," Chang Jianyi said slowly. "Will gasoline be extinguished so easily? Something that even water can't extinguish, and you say it will be extinguished by zombies! If we don't pour the gasoline now, we might not be able to pour it later, and then we can only burn the zombies on the top layer!"
Yang Chang understood and immediately led people to splash gasoline. After the gasoline was poured onto the zombies, they couldn't help but roar in anger, but they couldn't climb out of the pit to kill the people in front of them. In the end, all the gasoline was poured down, but most of it was absorbed by the soil. When ignited, this soil would also burn.
Chang Jianyi looked in the distance and found that the zombies still seemed endless. In reality, as long as tens of thousands of animals gathered together, you wouldn't be able to see the end with the naked eye. It was a pity that Chang Jianyi didn't have a drone, so she couldn't see the distant streets. In fact, all the zombies within a five-kilometer radius were moving towards them.
In fact, the intelligence of mutated zombies was not particularly high, because these mutated zombies also charged up one by one. Even if a strong zombie was surrounded by six evolved individuals, it was still a dead end. After several attacks by mutated zombies, they realized they couldn't defeat these few people, so they started to stay behind and eat the brains of ordinary zombies.
"They know to avoid danger and seek good fortune. It seems they are already relatively normal animals!" Yu Ren Shu thought to herself.
At this time, these mutated zombies discovered the danger and no longer charged. This proved that they knew their own strength. Upon realizing they couldn't win, they stopped immediately. This behavior of avoiding danger and seeking good fortune was actually a choice that ordinary animals would make, just like the Tibetan fox immediately hiding in its den with its cubs after discovering danger.
"I only hope that the evolution of zombies will never catch up with humanity's progress. Otherwise, if humans lose their advantage in intelligence, they might be eliminated," Yu Ren Shu thought silently. Although she had obtained five mutated zombie heads at this moment, she was not happy.
When the time came, Li Xiang woke Shen Feng on time. Then, ten vehicles drove into the city. The city was desolate at this time. In just twenty days, weeds had grown on the streets. Cars were parked haphazardly on the roads. Without management, the city was filled with garbage. In the distance, there were some dark red marks, presumably human or zombie blood.
The zombies in the vicinity had already been lured away, so there were not many obstacles encountered during the vehicles' journey.
Shen Feng kept observing the surrounding routes. In his opinion, moving on such open roads, if surrounded, with nothing to climb on, they would likely die miserably.
Finally, the group encountered trouble because dense vehicles blocked the way ahead. It seemed that on the day the zombies broke out, there was a traffic jam here. As a result, many drivers turned into zombies, and a small number of drivers became food for zombies. In the end, this road was completely blocked.
Shen Feng checked the map and found that they were still three hundred meters away from the primary school. He frowned and said, "Everyone, turn the cars around first, and then walk to the primary school. Everyone, bring your weapons. Even if you are part of the transport team, you will have to fight now."
Everyone obeyed the order. After turning the cars around, they all got out and moved quickly towards the primary school. At this time, they only had one thought: to finish quickly. It was just a rescue, wasn't it? It was only a three-minute journey, so they should hurry to rescue the people and run, lest they be surrounded by zombies.
The group moved quickly and soon arrived at the entrance of the primary school. However, when they looked into the school, their hearts sank. The interior of the school was full of small zombies. It seemed that many students had already turned into zombies. A rough count revealed about three hundred zombies wandering around, and it was unknown if there were more zombies hidden in the dark.
Li Xiang couldn't help but curse, "They were all little brats to begin with, and now even in death, they're causing trouble. With so many zombies, how are we supposed to deal with this?"
Shen Feng observed carefully at the entrance and suddenly noticed that on the road near the cafeteria, between two buildings, there were tables and chairs blocking the way. This indicated that if there were survivors, they must be hiding behind the obstacles to avoid being attacked by zombies.
"We don't need to enter through the main gate. We'll climb over the wall from the back of the school. I think the survivors are hiding in the cafeteria!" Shen Feng said quickly.
So, the group went to the back of the school and climbed over the wall. As expected, they didn't find any zombies at the back of the school, but there were still many bloodstains on the ground. It was impossible to distinguish whether it was human blood or zombie blood, as it looked similar after drying.
Shen Feng led the group to the cafeteria entrance. The cafeteria door was tightly closed. Shen Feng knocked on the door while shouting, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there? We've come to save you!"
Li Xiang looked through the window and saw people moving around on the first floor of the cafeteria. He raised the steel bar in his hand and smashed the window glass, then pried open the security window film. He said, "President, I'll go in from here and open the door. Just wait for me!"
Afterward, Li Xiang entered through the opened gap and indeed found many people hiding in the rooms inside, both large and small, presumably students and teachers. Li Xiang didn't bother with them and quickly opened the main door from the inside. The group quickly entered the cafeteria.
"What are you coming in here for?" a male teacher stepped forward and asked, pointing at the group.
Shen Feng directly said, "We are here to save you. Leave with us now, or it will be too late!"
The male teacher clearly didn't trust the group that appeared before him and directly said, "We won't believe you. You are not soldiers or police. Why should we believe you?"
Shen Feng ignored them and walked over. He then saw four male teachers and three female teachers present, and the rest were over twenty students. Besides them, there was no one else. It seemed that these were the only survivors in the school.
After all, they were elementary school students and had no ability to cope in the face of disaster. Vocational school students were at least strong and could resist, but elementary school students could only cry, and at most call the police. However, the power was out now, and calling the police was impossible!
