Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 17

Just before entering the supermarket, the group had been arguing about how the five homeless people should be handled.

If they are civilians from other bases, they will have a discussion about what to do when they encounter them, but homeless people basically have no force value, so they think that it is their greatest kindness not to drive away these unstable factors. Some hard-line members of the base will drive away the homeless when encountering this situation.

“Didn’t we just make a decision about this matter? There are only five of them staying on the first floor, which doesn’t take up much space. And everyone is human…” Bai Xiao tried to persuade them.

“But don’t you think the look in their eyes is scary? When they stare straight at people, they look like swindlers and robbers who specialize in robbing supplies. Haven’t experimental teams been robbed before?” After Tang Sien finished speaking, she asked for help from her father.

Dr. Tang didn’t listen to his daughter for a while. After all, they are all human beings. There is still a bottom line for this. It doesn’t matter during the day, but driving people away at night is really tantamount to killing them.

Guo Yi tried to comfort her, “With us here. If they really have any bad intentions, I can solve them all by myself.”

Tang Sien snorted a few times, just in time to see Cheng Yu coming up with Shi Qin, and hurried up to talk about it.

“They have no weapons, and their physical condition is not good. They don’t pose any danger to us and we will take turns guarding the first floor. If there is any change, we will deal with it immediately.”

In fact, what Cheng Yu and Guo Yi said was similar, but Tang Sien couldn’t help but look at him with admiration. But when she saw Shi Qin following behind, she immediately took a few steps back in fear. “Brother Cheng Yu, why did you bring him up and put him here!”

Cheng Yu didn’t continue talking to Tang Sien, but talked about Shi Qin’s affairs.

Dr. Tang frowned, “Is there such a feeling between zombies?”

Bai Xiao: “They should only follow their instincts and may jointly feel where there are people, but… if they are telepathic, there is currently no research to prove that.”

“But we can’t deny this possibility.” Captain Jiang muttered inwardly, and said cautiously.

However, most people still disagreed. Driving at night is similar to courting death. This is not the age of civilization, and there are no street lights everywhere to illuminate the road. In this era, if there is no moon and stars, it will be pitch black, and only the places where human beings gather will have some light. In this supermarket, you can only use your own lamps or candles for lighting.

Human vision is limited by light, but this is not the case for zombies. They can still sense the existence of their prey in the dark and complete the hunt.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, human beings will never act at night, especially those scientific researchers who have no combat capabilities.

What’s more, Shi Qin is still a zombie in essence. To other people, the zombies want to eat them, so how can Shi Qin’s words be easily believed?

What’s more, they even doubted Cheng Yu’s intentions. Everyone was shocked by the rush before, but in this situation, he still had to hurry. Is he still saying that he didn’t want to improve the efficiency of completing tasks to build his reputation?

Everyone naturally has expectations from the grandson of the previous administrator. What if he really strives for the top performance regardless of danger and uses zombies as an excuse?

When Shi Qin saw that there are still people who are jealous in this situation, he was speechless. There are always such cannon fodders waiting to die in novels. Now he is trying to save their lives, but no one believes him. Could this world be anymore against him?

“Okay, stop arguing, let’s contact the base first and explain the situation.”

Sure enough, as Cheng Yu expected, such a proposal would not be passed easily, even when he first heard it, he didn’t quite agree with it himself.

Finally, Cheng Yu put Shi Qin in the corner, and when he contacted the White Wolf Base, Captain Jiang first reported the progress of the task. The other party was pleasantly surprised when they heard that they had arrived at the supermarket, “Fortunately, your contact was a little late by two hours, and the base thought you couldn’t catch up, and was preparing to start an emergency meeting to discuss rescue and support matters.”

Listening to the other party’s tone, Captain Jiang asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong?”

“The wave of zombies observed before suddenly accelerated. According to the prediction, it will arrive in City S tonight.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, their backs felt cold, and their faces were pale. But they didn’t feel the joy of surviving a catastrophe but creepy fear.

The audience fell silent, and everyone’s eyes could not help but focus on Cheng Yu.

If they really stayed in the hotel in S City before, what would it be like now? They remembered that Guo Yi was the only one who was on Cheng Yu’s side before, and everyone else wanted to stay, some persuaded with kind words, some made sarcastic remarks, even just now some people ridiculed, really…

Cheng Yu didn’t care about the embarrassment or shame of the crowd. He frowned slightly at this moment, and immediately took the phone and asked, “Did you find out the reason? Why did it suddenly accelerate? Has the trajectory changed?”

“The Academy of Sciences speculates that there are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that the cold air suddenly started moving south, and they instinctively sped up to avoid it, and the other is… the manipulation by the Awakened, but the Academy of Sciences is more inclined to believe the former.”

This tide includes a large number of zombies this time, and there was only one Awakened person who could control so many zombies in historical records. Many Awakened people who were discovered were strangled by members of the Holy Army before their abilities became out of control, so it is not possible that Awakened people of that level exist now.

And looking at the weather outside now, the humidity in the air has been different since the beginning. Occasionally, lightning flashes and thunder roars. It is obvious that it will rain heavily.

Cheng Yu asked if it would be better to return to the base overnight for safety.

“The trajectory of the zombie wave has not changed, and will continue to go south. The gas station and supermarket are within a safe range, so there is no need to move.”

Cheng Yu looked back at Shi Qin, he was hesitating, but the others didn’t think much about it, even if Shi Qin’s words had caused a small ripple before, now hearing what the liaison officer said, the ripples turned into calm again.

Believe the information provided by the base or believe a zombie’s words, Is that even a question? Of course they believe in the base.

Only a fool would take the risk of traveling at night just because of some words from a zombie.

Seeing that the situation is still developing according to the original plot, Shi Qin shouted anxiously: “If there is an awakened person controlling them, won’t the zombie tide turn around?”

But when Shi Qin yelled these words, a bolt of lightning almost exploded near the window next to Shi Qin with a strong sense of threat and warning. Finally, it rained heavily in the sky. Because of the interference of the rainy day, the communication began to change and finally it was cut off.

As Cheng Yu’s good brother for many years, Guo Yi naturally understood his expression, he was surprised that Cheng Yu would trust a guy he just met, and moreover it is a zombie.

“And it’s already raining, Cheng Yu, I know you’re being cautious, but in this situation, it’s definitely impossible to travel on the road.” Captain Jiang also tried to persuade him.

Cheng Yu’s eyes flickered for a moment. Indeed, it would already be pouring rain outside in a short while, accompanied by lightning and thunder, it was not worth the journey.

Captain Jiang patted Cheng Yu’s shoulder and said: “Okay, now that we have contacted the base, it’s getting late, let’s rest for now, and everyone present on duty will keep the watch in two.”

When Shi Qin stood at the window and looked at the sky in a depressed manner, he realized that the world conscious didn’t want to hit him, but wanted rain to prevent them from going back. Is it trying to make him quit?

Ah!

If he can’t get away from here, then he can atleast try to make it safer.

Shi Qin began to scare everyone, always saying that he felt that zombies were coming, and hoped everyone would be prepared, but no one could see it, and the base couldn’t detect any movement. If they don’t believe Shi Qin, and ask him how he knows, he would suddenly become dumb again, unable to explain why, as if he was scaremongering and frightening them for fun.

Shi Qin felt very wronged, no matter how much he said, it was not that he didn’t want to say it, but because he was restricted and couldn’t say it, so he could only worry about it in his heart.

At this moment, Shi Qin felt the strong power of the plot, and it turned out that the main line was not something he could move at will.

In the end, Shi Qin annoyed everyone, so they simply sealed his mouth and stopped him from speaking.

Cheng Yu looked at Shi Qin’s pathetic appearance and sighed. It happened that it was Cheng Yu’s turn to be on watch at night, so he simply took Shi Qin to the first floor.

Undoing the seal on his mouth, Cheng Yu told him not to talk nonsense on the first floor, and not to be seen by the homeless.

Shi Qin suddenly thought of something, and still didn’t give up: “That’s right, aren’t the people in the Academy of Sciences very nervous about me? Even if they don’t rush to send me back, at least they can send a large force to escort me.”

Seeing Cheng Yu’s slightly complicated expression, Shi Qin hurriedly added: “It’s not that I don’t believe in your ability, it’s just that…” Shi Qin was suddenly stunned. Strangely, when they just contacted the base, they didn’t inform the base about him. It shouldn’t be the case, right?

“Because of the secrecy, the base still doesn’t know your existence.” Cheng Yu explained: “The current communication equipment is not as powerful as before, and our conversation may be heard by others at any time.”

Shi Qin understood instantly, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

In fact, the reason is very simple: he is an important resource, and it is the antibody in his body that Dr. Tang predicted may save the mankind.

Then… which base will obtain it, doesn’t it indicate that it will be able to control all authority in the future?

We are indeed a community with a shared future for mankind, but different bases are originally in a competition for material resources. If a civilized society can be restored, the organization that holds the vaccine will stand at the top of the whole world and all mankind.

Naturally, it is impossible to communicate with each other in this respect. They will only hide the most important thing which holds the future of mankind.

Therefore, in the original text, when the White Wolf base was destroyed, no other bases tried to rescue it in time, because the other bases didn’t even know that there was a zombie like Shi Qin.

If they knew, then for the common benefit of mankind, all the bases would’ve devoted all of their resources to save the source of the antibody, even in the face of the Awakened who they fear the most.

But everything was destroyed by the blackened Cheng Yu before it was made public.

Shi Qin looked at Cheng Yu sadly. “Humanity’s crisis has not yet been resolved. Instead of concentrating on solving the problem, the first thing to consider is how to divide the future interest.”

Cheng Yu coughed, this is not something he can decide.

“Rest, if something really happens, you are safe, zombies don’t bite you, right?”

Shi Qin was a little angry and said, “Am I worried about myself?”

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, “Thank you for your concern, but the monitoring of the base basically didn’t miss anything, and you can’t tell clearly how you can feel the danger?”

“They didn’t miss it, but can your monitoring even detect dozens or hundreds of zombie waves?”

Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, it was indeed not detected.

“Also, on a rainy day, how far can your binoculars see, even if zombies surround you, can you feel it?” Shi Qin said anxiously, and suddenly Cheng Yu reached out and patted Shi Qin on the head, he said: “Don’t worry, I’m here, it’s okay.”

Shi Qin’s heart ached, and Cheng Yu spoke softly, Shi Qin couldn’t lose his temper, and could only look at Cheng Yu with a complicated expression.

He knew he couldn’t stop it, but he didn’t understand. The original text didn’t explain it in such detail. If the base wouldn’t send reinforcements at all, then why would there be a squad of Holy Soldiers coming to hunt and kill the Awakened when the imminent zombie crisis broke out?

Could it be for these homeless people?

Shi Qin’s gaze shifted to those five people. Should he say it? I should tell Cheng Yu and the others…

At this time, Kang Peng, who came down with Cheng Yu for the night watch didn’t want to stay with Cheng Yu and Shi Qin, so wandered up to stand beside the homeless people. He looked down for a while, and suddenly reached out and grabbed one of the young people, a delicate woman.

“Ah! Let me go!” The woman screamed immediately.

“Let go of my sister! You bastard!” The little girl led by a woman, even if she was only three or four years old, bravely tried to beat the guy who bullied her sister.

The old couple and the little boy rushed to pull her, but together they couldn’t pull the hulk like Kang Peng.

Cheng Yu heard the voice and immediately ran to stop it, “Kang Peng, what are you doing?”

Kang Peng frowned in distaste and said: “Deputy head, I think she is very pitiful, I wanted to give her a chance to be my woman, and apply to take her back to the base. This is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing for her. It’s not so easy to get into our ‘White Wolf Base’, you have to take care of the private affairs of men and women.”

Cheng Yu’s face darkened. He had heard of such things a long time ago. In the last days, Bai Xiao and Tang Sien were a minority, and most of them were women who were used as tools to vent their lust and anger, living without dignity.

However, the base only restricts such behaviors in the base and does not allow coercion of women. But this is not the case outside the base.

But Cheng Yu couldn’t see the bullying of the weak like this,”You let go first, didn’t you see that she was unwilling?”

The woman did look very unhappy, and Kang Peng’s face was ugly. If Cheng Yu hadn’t been there, he would have dragged the woman away and dealt with her on the spot. If she behaved, he would bring her back to the base. If not, he would give her some food and send her away, but now there is Cheng Yu who is in the way, it’s really annoying.

Kang Peng shook off the woman, pointed to her nose and said, “Hey, do you want to enter the White Wolf Base?”

Kang Peng believes that most homeless people still want to live a stable and reliable life. He can support this woman, and this woman must also want to live in the base.

“I…I don’t want to!” The woman was so ashamed that she was about to cry. But she slapped Kang Peng in the face and angered him.

Kang Peng was furious and wanted to slap the woman, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Cheng Yu wanted to stop Kang Peng, but suddenly felt something coming from behind him. When he looked back, Shi Qin threw him to the ground.

The goggles were knocked over, and the tiny pupils shone with a cold-blooded light. Cheng Yu was startled, but Shi Qin quickly lowered his head and bit down.

At the same time, the little girl standing in front of the woman looked at Kang Peng angrily.

In an instant, lightning flashed outside the supermarket, making the insufficient lighting on the first floor brighter.

And at this moment, the bewitching red blood eyes shocked Kang Peng’s nerves. Kang Peng uttered a soul-stirring cry, “Ah! Awakened!!!!!!”
