“This… this person isn’t afraid of bullets…”
Yan Baokun was so astonished his jaw nearly hit the floor.
He had originally intended to embarrass these superhumans.
Who could have known these superhumans were so incredibly powerful? He had never heard of someone immune to bullets before.
Furthermore, their speed and strength far surpassed human limits. They were practically like supermen.
Such powerhouses, even among all superhumans, were of the top tier!
“Alright, continue driving. I’m in a hurry!”
Zhang Chen said indifferently, sitting in his seat.
What surprised Zhou Haifeng was that Zhang Chen hadn't even looked at the situation, as if he had already known that Zuo Nan could instantly kill these armed robbers.
The bus continued forward, finally stopping about five hundred meters away from the epidemic prevention center.
There was a traffic jam.
Hundreds of cars were backed up ahead, and thousands of people formed a dense crowd around the entrance of the epidemic prevention center.
Temporary walls and checkpoints had been established around the exterior of the epidemic prevention center.
On the city walls and behind the barbed wire of the checkpoints, over a hundred fully armed soldiers stood guard.
“What’s going on? What are those people doing gathered at the entrance of the epidemic prevention center? Hurry up and get inside!”
“If the zombies come, none of us will be able to escape!”
Yan Baokun craned his neck, looking at the distant crowd, and said anxiously.
“I heard that the epidemic prevention station only starts accepting survivors at noon. It’s currently internal safety inspection time for the shelter, and no one else is allowed in!”
Driver Xiao Wang replied.
“Noon? It’s already 11:30 now. When will it be considered noon?”
“If zombies come and cause civilian casualties, who will be responsible?”
Yan Baokun said righteously.
Pfft!
Zuo Nan, standing beside him, couldn’t help but chuckle.
“What? Do you think there’s something wrong with what President Yan said?”
Zhou Haifeng asked from the side.
“Hahaha, this is hilarious. Who will be responsible!”
“Brother, can you guys not be so naive? This is the apocalypse, a time to look out for yourselves!”
“It’s already fortunate enough that someone is accepting survivors. You’re still discussing responsibility!”
“If a zombie horde really comes and eats you all, or if the people at the epidemic prevention station get angry and order the soldiers to open fire and kill you, then no one will be held accountable, right?”
Zuo Nan couldn't help but say with a laugh.
The monsters in this world were so weak, and the people’s way of thinking was so naive, it was truly amusing.
“They… they wouldn’t… do that, would they!”
Hearing Zuo Nan’s words, Yan Baokun instantly became uneasy.
He really hadn’t considered that such a possibility existed.
“Without strength, the most important thing is to learn gratitude. If you have no strength and don’t know how to be grateful, but are picky about things, your end will definitely be miserable!”
Zuo Nan’s words were directed at Yan Baokun, and also at himself.
After saying this, he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Chen.
The latter smiled and said nothing.
Rumble…
Suddenly, a cacophony of noise echoed from a distance, followed by a sky-obscuring cloud of dust that enveloped everything.
“Is this… a sandstorm?”
Zhou Haifeng looked back through the rear window of the bus and asked in confusion.
“It’s a zombie horde!”
Zuo Nan said, crossing his legs.
“Looking at the dust and the ground vibration, the number of zombies should be around thirty to fifty thousand. Not too many!”
“I was wondering why it was so safe all the way here, only encountering scattered zombies.”
“So they’ve already formed a zombie horde. That explains everything!”
Zhang Chen stood up and said,
“Let’s go, we’re entering the epidemic prevention station. Let’s not waste time here with the zombie horde!”
Zuo Nan nodded and also stood up.
“But… the epidemic prevention station won’t let us in… How do we get in?”
Driver Xiao Wang asked with a troubled expression.
“I told you, you bring me to the epidemic prevention station, and I can protect your safety!”
“If you trust us, follow us, and we will definitely get in. If you don’t want to, that’s fine too. My promise has been fulfilled!”
Zhang Chen left those words behind and then walked straight out of the bus.
Zuo Nan, Xiao Bai, and Mo Ran followed closely behind.
“Then… I believe you!”
Yan Baokun was the first to rush out.
Seeing this, the others quickly followed.
They weaved through the gaps between the densely packed cars on the roadside.
Suddenly, four people wearing cloaks “flew” out from inside the epidemic prevention center.
In reality, they had jumped out. Because their physiques were extremely strong, they jumped high and far, appearing as if they were flying.
With a few leaps, the four of them landed behind the bus, looking majestically at the rolling zombie horde in the distance.
“It’s superhumans! There are superhumans fighting the zombie horde, we should be safe!”
The surrounding civilians cheered loudly.
“This physical strength feels quite ordinary. It should be enough to deal with the zombie horde, but to block it… it might be a bit difficult!”
Zuo Nan looked back at the four cloaked figures and said with a frown.
However, his steps did not stop as he quickly followed Zhang Chen towards the epidemic prevention center.
Before long, the zombie horde surged forward, mostly ordinary zombies, with occasional non-enhanced crawlers.
One of the four individuals accelerated the growth of underground plants, immediately creating a large net of vines to block the road.
Then, another person spewed fire from both hands, quickly igniting the entire vine net.
The third person slowly rose into the air, and a strong gust of wind blew, pushing the flames to their peak intensity!
The last person’s ability was lightning.
He hovered high in the air, releasing several currents from his hands that slammed into the zombie horde.
When a zombie was electrocuted, the current would use it as a conductor to spread to the surrounding zombies.
A large area could be electrocuted and killed at once.
At this moment, the vines, burning under the intense flames, emitted clusters of flammable resin.
This resin, combined with the fire, ignited hundreds of zombies in the horde in an instant.
The four individuals cooperated perfectly, giving the zombies no chance to retaliate.
However, the sheer number of zombies, tens of thousands, coupled with the agile crawlers, was immense.
Although the four had the advantage at the beginning, they entered a fierce battle in the later stages.
The epidemic prevention station urgently deployed another hundred soldiers to establish defensive positions in the rear to prevent the zombie horde from attacking the station.
The troops and the superhumans cooperated very smoothly, indicating this was not their first encounter with such a situation.
Zhang Chen paid no attention to this low-level battle. He squeezed through the crowd and walked directly to the entrance of the security check.
The area was crowded with people, all clamoring to get in.
Especially after hearing about the zombie horde, the crowd pushed even harder.
The barbed wire fence was constantly making noise, as if it could be pushed down by the crowd at any moment.
More than a dozen heavily armed soldiers immediately raised their guns and pointed their dark muzzles at the crowd, saying,
“Everyone, retreat five meters. Execute immediately if you understand. If you don’t comply, we will consider you infected and shoot you on sight!”
