Chapter 131: To Survive (1/2)
Chapter 131 - To Survive
Lee Miao was shocked. She looked at Liu Gan, but was unable to make a sound since this was the first time she had seen him so fierce when he spoke to her.
When they were in the large skyscraper, Zhang ShengNan was being foolish, but Liu Gan didn’t stop her. Zhang ShengNan’s temperament was very stubborn and he was dispensable. So in his future platoon, he will would sure there will be no such person.
However, Lee Miao was different. She was a doctor, so before Liu Gan could find a doctor witha better skillset, she must survive for the sake of treating wounded players. His respect for her was limited to her job. So as long as she obeyed his commands, he didn’t have a problem. If she decided to act foolishly without permission, he would have people restrain her and limit her freedom.
He was doing this not to save her, but for the good of the whole group.
“We have a large wave of the corpse tide closing in on us. The elderly, the disabled and the sick will be walking at a slow pace. We can’t afford to go help them. Even if we do help them, they will only slow us down. What will happen to our resources that we need to survive on. If we abandon these valuable resources now it is no different from giving up on surviving. Elder Liu is right, don’t act selfishly.” Zhang ShengLi tried to comfort her.
The former Zhang ShengLi might have been the first to stand up and rush over with Lee Miao to help, but ever since his sister’s death it would always be a painful lesson for him to remember. He would never make such a foolish mistake again. Although he didn’t know whether this was a right or wrong decision,he knew that as long as Liu Gan spoke out against it then he would stand by his decision.
After experiencing so many things, Zhang ShengLi finally understood one aspect of surviving in this post-apocalyptic world. He had never met anyone who would think things out more than Liu Gan and there was no other person than him that would be as calm in these situations. Ever since Zhang ShengNan died, Zhang ShengLi decided that no matter what Liu Gan decided to do, he would unconditionally obey.
“They are really pitiful.” Lee Miao sympathetically said again, but ultimately she gave up the thought of trying to help them and followed Zhang ShengLi with the group.
This thirty year old female has experienced many situations so her temperament matured just as much, so she won’t act like a spoiled teenager. She would accept criticisms and persuasions. Besides that, she knew that if Liu Gan got provoked, he would definitely kill her.
After walking past the hospital back entrance, there was still a kilometer of distance between them and the large bridge. They must make it past these two long streets. As the group walked closer to the bridge, they could see that there were a lot of zombies gathered on it.
From a glance, the bridge seemed to have been covered by many parked cars, but in between the cars on the bridge were many scattered zombies wandering about.
Liu Gan climbed a nearby high-rise and he hung onto the infrastructure exterior as he used his enhanced eyesight to analyze the situation. His heart skipped another beat as he looked on… Across the bridge that was close to the city center on the opposite side, had an established camp by the end of the bridge. The zombies nearby hadn’t been cleared out in the vicinity. In fact, with a closer look, the streets were packed with zombies! Even though it isn’t as packed as the large corpse tide, it was enough to cause a headache.
Looking back at where they had came from. The corpse tide covered up his visual field of the horizon. They were steadily closing in on the location where the local survivors stalled the group earlier. An estimate of ten or so minutes was left before the corpse tide reached the group. It was really hard to determine the source of this corpse tide. It was as if the game was forcing these players into a dire situation, as if it must kill off every single one of them.
Amongst the corpse tide, Liu Gan could faintly distinguish a large bulky zombie from the rest. It was absolutely certain that this was the Giant Colossal variant zombie that Liu Gan was looking for. If only he could kill one, he would reach level 6, but seeing this variant zombie he wasn’t too happy at all.
