Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 20

Before getting into the car, Dr. Tang leaned into Cheng Yu’s ear and said, “If you escape smoothly, the awakened ones must be killed without mercy. You have also seen the harm they could cause…”

Just now when the researchers wanted the three of them to sacrifice, they said that if they can get out alive, it will be counted as meritorious service, which means that they will not be killed. They used this method to trick them into cooperating with the mission, so they don’t make trouble.

But now…

Cheng Yu nodded indifferently, got into the car, kicked the accelerator, and the car sped out in one direction. The modified car was still solid.

Cheng Yu has excellent eyesight, and quickly found the weakest point in the densely packed zombie wall. When he stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, with the sound of the motor roaring, he actually broke through the zombie wall. Along the way, the zombies were knocked into the air.

The zombies that were not hit were attracted by the smell of blood, and immediately stretched their arms excitedly as if they had been sprayed with chicken blood, and started chasing the vehicle.

After breaking through the wall, a few groups of zombies still appeared on the road in front of the vehicle. But they couldn’t block the vehicle anymore.

Cheng Yu saw that there were not many zombies chasing after him, so he slowed down the car, and while honking as he drove, he dropped a bomb from the window with one hand. Soon the zombies were all attracted, and he didn’t know if it was due to the instinct of zombies towards the sound and smell of blood that overcame the control of the awakened person, or the awakened person actually stopped controlling them, but the countless zombies in the dark night actually rushed towards his car.

Fortunately, the rain had stopped at this time. Cheng Yu looked at the rearview mirror while driving, and soon there was the sound of a vehicle near the supermarket. In places that may be besieged by zombies, it is safer to run on the road at this time.

Cheng Yu drove and stopped along the way, making sure that the zombies had been attracted. When he was about to reach the destination, he threw a small knife to the back seat. There were three people sitting there, all with their hands tied. They were nervous and pessimistic, leaning together, as if accepting the fate of death at any time.

They were all stunned by Cheng Yu’s driving operation to lure the zombies on the trip just now. They were also afraid of zombies, but there was no fear at all on Cheng Yu’s face. Such people are firm and fearless in their hearts, and they are actually even more terrifying to them who are awakened. So when they suddenly saw the knife thrown over, they were startled.

“Untie yourself, don’t try to shoot me or you will die.”

“You… What do you want us to do? Do you want us to go down and attract zombies?” The delicate woman hurriedly picked up the knife, shouting nervously and frightened.

“The highway is ahead, get off the car, walk to the river, and find a way to escape by yourself. I will lead the zombies up.”

The delicate woman was astonished, “You won’t kill us?” She knew in her heart that as long as human beings caught them, they would definitely kill them. She didn’t believe the nonsense of those researchers at all, she just thought that if she came out, she might fight to the death and leave a way for the two little ones to survive.

Cheng Yu was silent for a while, “If I find out that you are harming human beings, I will kill you.”

So he is letting them go this time? The delicate woman couldn’t believe it, and the two children also looked at Cheng Yu blankly. In their eyes, ordinary human beings would beat and kill them when they saw them, yet someone would give them a way out.

“We… are also human beings.” The delicate woman lowered her head and said bitterly, and finally murmured: “Thank you…”

Cheng Yu didn’t speak any more, as he sped up, intermittent voices came from the communicator. They had already left safely, and contact became difficult because the distance was far away.

“Cheng Yu, you must come back alive. I… we will wait for you.” Bai Xiao’s voice came intermittently, with a heavy tone.

“I will. How is Shi Qin? Has he recovered?”

“No, we put him in a cage.”

“……Okay, I get it.”

Cheng Yu stopped the car at the intersection of the expressway, and first shot all the nearby zombies, then got ready to get people off the car.

Before leaving, the delicate woman hesitated and said: “I heard what you guys just said. Do you want to chase after these zombies after getting rid of them? I suggest you don’t go back.”

Cheng Yu’s expression froze for a moment, “What do you mean?”

“The person who controls the zombies should be Le Liang. He is a psychopath. When we were with him, we saw that he had captured many soldiers like you. This time he should be specially hunting for you. Although you want to go east, I don’t know which side he would choose to follow in the end. These zombies following you are obviously not controlled by an awakened person, so…he may be chasing your other companions. I don’t know how many zombies he can control with his ability but he will never fail. You let us go, and we are grateful to you, so let me remind you, if you can really escape from the mouth of zombies, I think you should take a detour home and not take any risks, he should have known your route long ago.”

Cheng Yu’s complexion changed instantly, his brows were furrowed, and his gaze towards the woman became sharper. This woman obviously wanted to hide it, but what could Cheng Yu say? Could it be that she was expected to be sympathetic to a group of people who wanted to kill her? Do people open up and give as much information as possible to people who hate them and wants to kill them?

“Tell me the limit of zombies he can control.”

The woman pointed back. “This is the limit…about a thousand. You still want to go back? Didn’t the group of people just send you to die out here? They are all your companions, why don’t they take the risk and choose to fight together?”

Cheng Yu didn’t answer, and immediately drove the three of them out of the car.

The bodies of the two old men were not taken away by them, but burned on the spot, which can be regarded as being buried together with them.

With tears in their eyes, the three of them avoided the sight of the zombies with the help of the fire from the two old people’s corpses, and quickly got out of the car and rushed down the ramp. As long as they got into the water and covered their breath, the zombies would not notice it.

Cheng Yu drove the car on the highway, took advantage of the terrain, and rammed into the abandoned cars parked on the highway, creating obstacles for the zombies to hinder their actions, and then casually dropped the previously made explosives into the passing cars to set up traps.

Explosives themselves are not very powerful, but they are large in quantity, and with the addition of scrap cars, they can be very lethal.

Cheng Yu calculated the distance and set up explosive traps while trying to contact other people. The distance was still too far, and he couldn’t contact them. It seemed that he had to return as soon as possible. In case what the woman said was true, other people must be in danger.

Originally, the situation was urgent and they had no time to think about why the Awakened person would control the zombies to surround them. Cheng Yu’s initial thought was that humans and the Awakened were fighting each other. As long as he took the zombies away, the Awakened would give up, but if the other party is intentionally hunting them, he will follow all the way. If there are no zombies here for him to control, then he will wait for the next place where there are many zombies…

This is the most troublesome situation that Cheng Yu analyzed, and now he can only hope that he is overthinking.

Taking advantage of the terrain several times, Cheng Yu finally escaped from the crowd of zombies. The car was dilapidated and could barely move. The wounds from the aftermath of the explosions were too late to be bandaged, and he just wanted to hurry back.

On the other side, the team members hurriedly wanted to take everyone away.

However, the researchers found that there were only a few zombies left, and they couldn’t help but want to get another car back. After all, there were still some research materials and samples in the car, that couldn’t be wasted.

No one in the team dared to stand up against Dr. Tang, even if it would delay the speed and waste the time Cheng Yu bought for them, so they had to act quickly. Fortunately, there was no trouble, the team brought the material back as it was, and everyone got on the car.

Along the way, both Bai Xiao and Tang Sien were in contact with Cheng Yu, but the signal was intermittent, and they couldn’t say a few words.

The car was very quiet, and everyone felt that there was little chance of Cheng Yu coming back alive, and the atmosphere in the car was solemn.

Tang Sien’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red, she was feeling uncomfortable, and didn’t want her sweetheart to take risks, “Sister Bai Xiao, will brother Cheng Yu come back?”

“Definitely, we have to trust him.”

Guo Yi, who was driving in front, also expressed comfort, “If he dared to go, then he must be confident. He should have gone to the highway, the road over there is easy to use, and these zombies will be easy to deal with.”

Tang Sien immediately became angry when she heard the words, “It’s easy for you to say, why didn’t I see you volunteering just now, brother Cheng Yu is the only grandson of the old general, and the only heir of the Cheng family, don’t mention us latecomers, shouldn’t he be the biggest benefactor of the White Wolf Base? Your team is so terrible, you shouldn’t have let him take risks, and you should’ve gone instead of him. Especially you, shouldn’t you protect him? How dare you let him take risks for you.”

Guo Yi’s face turned dark instantly, and as soon as he lost control of his hand, the car tilted.

“Ah? What are you doing!” Tang Sien cried out in shock.

“The road is unstable, please fasten your seat belts.”

Tang Sien immediately became angry “Hmph! You can’t even drive a car, what can you even do?”

“Okay, Sien! Actually, Guo Yi among us is the most worried about Cheng Yu. Don’t vent your anger on others. The task is equal to everyone. Cheng Yu is strong, and he is more confident about completing it successfully.” Bai Xiao was helpless.

“Of course, the rest of the team is not as powerful as Brother Cheng Yu.” Tang Sien said angrily: “And those awakened people are also very hateful. They can’t even work harder, otherwise there would’ve been no need for Brother Cheng Yu to go, they should sacrifice for us to wash away their sins, if something happens to Brother Cheng Yu, then blame those Awakened Ones!”

Tang Sien continued to complain arrogantly, but her mentality has calmed down. After all, they didn’t encounter any zombies along the way. In the front, it wasn’t clear what Guo Yi was thinking, but the hands holding the steering wheel had lost their true colors due to excessive force.

Suddenly the vehicle in front slammed on the brakes, and Guo Yi stopped immediately, and the people in the car were thrown forward even though they were wearing seat belts.

Just as Tang Sien was about to curse someone, they heard a voice from the walkie-talkie.

“Go back, go back, there are zombies ahead!”

The voice on the walkie-talkie was no longer calm, and Captain Jiang yelled out in a more panicked voice than in the supermarket just now.

In the direction they were heading, there were countless zombies lying on the ground, invisible in the dark night. Only when they got closer and saw the zombies standing up one by one did they see this creepy scene.

In an instant, the team fell into chaos, and their way was blocked by ambushing zombies. All kinds of firepower were used, and the researcher was replaced to drive, and the team started fighting, but their mentality had collapsed. How can so many brainless zombies ambush them…..
