Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 19

Although the incident of the awakened people frightened everyone before, when Huo Zixuan just got down, she got a look from Cheng Yu, and he signaled her to keep an eye on the outside.

If the eyes of the awakened people turn red, they have to stay alert whether they will control the distant zombies and bring them here to kill people. That’s why Huo Zixuan was the first to issue a warning at this moment.

But because of the cloudy and rainy night, when the zombies could finally be seen, it was already too late for them to react.

The team members quickly came to the windows to check the situation. Captain Jiang took Huo Zixuan and Guo Yi to drive. Although they called the researchers together, they didn’t dare to move anymore. The zombie was so close, they could smell and see, isn’t that courting death?

Others have to stay to control the homeless and observe to find countermeasures, so in the end except for the three of them, only the previous guards followed up to help drive.

“East, yes.”

“In the south, there is…”

“Not good, we are surrounded.”

Everyone’s face turned pale. The group of zombies stood densely, one after another, all of them were hidden in the darkness, and they could see more than a hundred figures.

And obviously, they approached here purposefully, but they didn’t have the madness of zombies who can smell people’s breath, which proved that an awakened person was controlling their actions.

Everyone’s nerves were stimulated, Yin Changlin lost control for a moment, and shot directly at the awakened person, “It’s all your fault!”

Cheng Yu quickly pushed Yin Changlin’s arm away, and the bullets punched a series of holes in the ceiling.

Kang Peng scolded: “You sympathize with the zombies, but do you still want to sympathize with the awakened ones?”

“Deputy head!” Yin Changlin also shouted.

Bai Xiao quickly helped to explain: “The group of zombies outside are controlled by the Awakened, but the eyes of three people in front of us haven’t turned red, obviously it’s not them.”

“Then kill them first, it’s even more dangerous with them!” Tang Sien shouted aggressively, putting all the blame on those three people, staring at them with eyes full of resentment and hatred, just like staring at the devil’s accomplice.

Cheng Yu didn’t have the time to explain to them, the situation outside was imminent, he had to think of countermeasures, so the next moment, before the rescued woman could catch her breath, she felt a chill on her forehead, and Cheng Yu pointed a gun at her head.

The woman didn’t expect that the man who had just helped her escape from death was not a kind-hearted man who wanted to save someone, but the beginning of another threat, so she immediately shouted: “It’s not us, we didn’t do anything.”

“But what do you know for sure? If you don’t say it, then you have to die now.” Cheng Yu looked stern, everyone’s life and death are at stake at this moment, how could he be kind to a woman.

The woman hesitated for a while, and finally said under Cheng Yu’s terrifying stare: “We were once taken in by a person who was awakened, but he was too scary. We just wanted to live simply, so we ran away and wandered here. If there is any awakened person nearby who has the ability to control zombies? I can only think of that person. This is all we know, we don’t know why there are zombies approaching here. If you still don’t believe it, then kill me.” The delicate woman closed her eyes in despair, adding to the credibility of her words.

“Damn it, did he come to hunt you? Are we really being implicated because of these homeless people?” Kang Peng was furious and stepped forward to kick the woman, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The little boy hurriedly protected the woman, glaring at him. He stammered a bit, and his agitation became more obvious as he shouted: “No…yes, if…he wanted to hunt us down…we’ve come here a long time ago, and we didn’t leave quickly, there was no need to…wait until now…”

“What should we do? Cheng Yu, it’s useless to know this now. Can we still escape?” Dr. Tang asked anxiously.

At this time, the four cars that had already been driven quickly, even though they were so fast, they still had to use cold weapons to fight the nearest zombies. Fortunately, the zombies did not act aggressively.

The researchers were glad that they didn’t follow them just now, otherwise they would really have died.

It’s just that people who go out can see the situation outside more clearly. If they take the four cars they drove back and forcefully break through, according to the current number of zombies, the danger would be extremely high. But if they stay here, they will have to fight to the death until all their bullets and weapons are exhausted. It is not even sure if there will be more zombies coming or if there are awakened people nearby.

In short, with this group of people who need to be protected, everything is difficult.

Cheng Yu immediately said to the three of them: “You must use your mental power to control these zombies to leave, even if you can’t control them, you must stop them from moving forward and give us time to leave. Don’t forget, if you don’t have mental power to control, you will also become their prey, are you going to die here?”

The awakened people are definitely not kind to these people, and now they are like grasshoppers on a rope.

Everyone thought that this was the only way. Kang Peng even snatched the little girl away from the woman and held her in his arms, “Get control of those zombies, or I will kill her first.”

The delicate woman held back her tears, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and one eye slowly climbed up the red veins.

But the redness in the eyes seems to be crawling reluctantly, moving forward a little and then retracting a little, it looks like it can’t be controlled at all.

The little boy also understood the situation, and was trying hard, but the more he wanted to control it, the more he couldn’t do it. Inexplicably, he was turned into an awakened person by the virus, but he didn’t have the ability of an awakened person at all, and he was threatened with death everywhere. No one is in a worse situation than them. 

“The zombies outside didn’t respond at all.” Dr. Tang shouted.

The few people stuck between the gate and the car had already took out their guns, but they didn’t dare to shoot rashly. After all, the zombies are moving slowly now. If the gunshots stimulated them, it would be like courting death.

Now, even the researchers were anxious, and ordered Kang Peng and the others to tie up the awakened people, and then took out various medicines that could stimulate the human body, and stabbed at the three of them without hesitation. They were struggling in pain, but it was of no use at all. Even though the little girl’s eyes were bloodshot again, she still couldn’t change the pace of the zombies outside.

“There are too many, Cheng Yu, you must find another way.” Guo Yi, who was guarding the door, shouted.

Captain Jiang said: “Cheng Yu, get in the car and break out of the encirclement forcefully, the success rate will be higher.”

“No, if you are caught up, so many zombies will definitely overturn the car, and we don’t know how many zombies are behind the rain curtain. You can drive the car over, but you may not be able to completely drive it out! Stay behind, Stay behind, didn’t you bring a lot of firepower?” Dr. Tang shouted anxiously.

Suddenly Tang Sien shouted excitedly: “I thought about it. When we passed the city before, didn’t Brother Cheng Yu use a trick to attack in the west? There are two corpses here, let’s send these three people to the car, and cover them with blood, they will help us lure the zombies with smell and sound so we can escape to the other side!”

Tang Sien’s train of thought seemed to ignite the flame of hope, and everyone immediately started talking about it.

“That’s right, scratching and bleeding them, plus two corpses tied to the car, this can completely attract the zombies.”

“No, aren’t these zombies controlled by the awakened ones? Can they be attracted?”

“But we have to give it a try!”

“Yes, when we fought with one just now, because they got close, they smelled the scent, and some of them became excited. If the smell of blood wafts out and there is a loud noise, it must have an effect, even if it can’t, just disrupting them will increase our success rate as well.”

Let the Awakened people lure away the zombies to protect the researchers. Anyway, they are not afraid of viruses. If they are caught, as long as they don’t die, they will not lose anything. If they don’t cooperate, they will be shot and killed. Most of them agreed with this decision.

But there is one thing that makes them worry. If these awakened people are allowed to go, what if they turn their backs and escape by themselves without attracting zombies? Now they still can’t fully trust these Awakened Ones.

How about leaving a child as a hostage? But it is not certain that they will sacrifice for their companions. After all these are Awakened, they are cruel and without human empathy.

There was no time for them to discuss, so they made the most painful decision, sacrificing one person and driving away with the awakened person.

Under the apocalypse, when necessary, someone needs to sacrifice for someone more valuable.

When this proposal came out, the young guard’s heart skipped a beat, and he already felt that someone’s eyes were on him.

“Actually, when the time comes, these awakened people can be used as human shields, and our own people can survive.”

“That’s right. Didn’t they agree to do it just now? They have already caused chaos to mankind by becoming awakened ones. It is an honor to be able to sacrifice for mankind, and they will also help to eliminate most harm for the people when they die. This is called waste utilization. So drivers can also do as much as possible.” 

“Those who are selected shouldn’t be afraid, it is the greatest honor to sacrifice for mankind.”

Everyone is trying to appease the person who will be responsible for driving. The researchers has already excluded themselves. Those who are not members of the corps are the guardians. In fact, this kind of mission that does not require technical content and only requires sacrifice is the most suitable for the guardians. After all, the people of the mission corps are also responsible for the escort work.

But these words were also said in front of the three Awakened, their human rights were under the Guardians, the Guardians sacrificed for the researchers and the task force, and the Awakened sacrificed for human beings.

This is the cruelty of the doomsday, people who are isolated and helpless, and those of little value are doomed to be sacrificed.

The guard’s face was pale, his hands were in his pockets, and he tightly held the orange scarf of another guard who died. With determination in his heart, he reached out and prepared to take out that scarf and his own to give it to the others, and bring it back to the base.

After all, he didn’t think he could come back alive from this trip.

“I will go.” Suddenly a voice stopped the guard’s action.

The guard looked at the tall man in front of him in disbelief, speechlessly.

Several people shouted in unison: “Cheng Yu!”

Cheng Yu directly started preparing for the task, while raising his hand to stop everyone from persuading him, “The situation will be complicated when we go out later, no one is more suitable than me to improvise according to the situation and help everyone get out of trouble, I think from the perspective of success rate, I can confidently come back alive. Later…Captain, I leave it to you, I will take the zombies to the west, and you must rush to the direction of the base immediately. The emergency signal to the base has been sent, and you must not stop on the road. “

Bai Xiao’s eyes turned red instantly, and Tang Sien immediately shouted, wanting to stop, and even regretted making this suggestion.

However, Cheng Yu had made up his mind, and Guo Yi was the first to come forward, “Be careful all the way and come back alive. Your little sister is still waiting for you.”

Cheng Yu patted Guo Yi on the shoulder and said, “Well, don’t worry.”

Time is precious and can no longer be wasted. The zombies have already submerged the vehicles in place, and they are too close to them.

The corpses of the two old people were placed on the roof of the car, and many cuts were made on their bodies to let the blood out. Everyone was about to attack the other three people, but Cheng Yu said: “Put them in the car first, and when needed, I will do it.” So the three of them avoided the injury.

After he finished speaking, Cheng Yu walked up to Shi Qin, glanced at him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to flick Shi Qin’s forehead, and turned his head to leave without saying anything.

“Don’t…don’t come back.”

Cheng Yu’s footsteps stopped, as if he heard something, he turned his head in surprise, but Shi Qin’s eyes were still dazed, and his lips trembled. Cheng Yu withdrew his gaze with a little disappointment in his heart, raised his footsteps, and left firmly.
