Chapter 192: Foolish

Inside the white police car.

"Sister!"

"They've eaten everything, what are we supposed to eat?!"

"I saw them hoarding a lot of food; those few old men and women, when they work they have no strength, but they snatch food faster than anyone!"

"Why bother bringing them along!"

Yun Tian's face flushed with anger; sometimes he just wants to beat this bunch of parasites.

Since Yun Lin Awakened, she has been leading this group of survivors in a desperate struggle to survive.

Along the way they've hidden here and there, never encountering another survivor group.

Their Awakened abilities aren't strong, so they thought of going to the suburbs to check things out.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago they ran into monsters nearby, and with no choice they fled the city aimlessly.

Although the Wangjiang Military Region is recruiting survivors over the channel, they simply can't get past it.

One is a high school student, the other a newly graduated intern police officer; facing this bunch of old oilheads, they have no idea what to do.

Over time, after figuring out Yun Lin's temperament, this bunch would constantly bring up their poor health as an excuse, unwilling to do anything.

Yun Lin let out a light sigh, her eyes complex:

"Yun Tian, I am a police officer."

"Protecting the people is my duty."

"Although they sometimes make me angry, they are still elders, and as a police officer I also have an obligation to protect them."

"You should also indulge them; the greater the power, the greater the responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Yun Tian felt utterly powerless.

His sister is perfect in every way, except she's too kind and too blunt.

Although he hasn't really thought of abandoning that group of old men and women, he always feels they shouldn't be endlessly indulged.

Several times trouble arose because this group of old men and women shouted loudly, attracting zombies.

If it weren't for both of them being Awakened, they'd have died three or four times already.

"Biubiubiu!"

Outside the car window, a chubby little kid held a wooden toy gun, making sound effects, constantly tapping on the window.

"I'll shoot you dead!"

"Biu!"

Yun Lin heard the sound and looked outside the window, discovering that the one tapping was the grandson of an elderly couple in the group.

"Oh dear, sorry sorry."

The middle-aged man who had pried open the trunk suddenly stepped to the car and scooped up the little rascal.

"This kid loves to make a fuss, Officer Yun, please don't take offense."

Yun Lin gave a wry smile, nodded slightly, and looked dubiously at the man who seemed to have something to say.

"What do you need?"

The man's eyes shifted, and he gave a dry chuckle twice:

"It's like this, Officer Yun."

"We discussed it; why don't you let Yun Tian go to the service area ahead to see if there's any food?"

"Look, the kid is picky—won't eat this, won't eat that; just eating instant noodles won't do."

"He's at the age to grow; we can't let him starve, can we?"

The little boy in the man's arms, upon hearing the words "instant noodles," shouted loudly:

"I don't want it, I don't want it! I want chocolate! I want a hamburger!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Tian flew into a rage and made a move to rush out of the car.

"We don't even have food, and you're being picky!"

Seeing this, Yun Lin hastily grabbed her brother, her face grim, not knowing what to say.

There are signs of monsters lurking behind; sending the brother out again would be far too dangerous.

The man held the child, his gaze repeatedly looking down from above at the delicate-faced female police officer.

The kid isn't his, so he couldn't be bothered to care what the little brat eats.

It's just that he and his childhood friend discussed it.

Continuing to run like this isn't a solution.

With this bunch of old men, women, and aunties around, a big problem is bound to happen sooner or later.

Persuading Yun Lin to abandon these people isn't realistic, after all the two of them aren't much stronger than these burdens.

After discussing it these past days, the two simply thought of tricking Yun Tian away, hoping he'd die in the monsters' mouths.

This police lass, although also an Awakened, is far weaker than her brother.

She's easy to deceive, and has little vigilance.

Observing these days, this lass's ability is merely to see a person's past.

A useless ability—just that her physical fitness is strong.

But.

As long as they get rid of Yun Tian, the two can figure out how to steal the gun.

Then, with the gun in hand, they'll act like big shots.

Whoever disobeys will be tossed aside, and they can also have some fun with the police belle.

If Yun Tian luckily makes it back alive...

Anyway, when the time comes I'll force his sister; if he won't listen, I'll threaten him with her life!

The man's heart burned hot, his lower body pressed against the car door, his face pleading.

"Officer Yun, you're a people's police. Isn't it said that the people's police serve the people?"

"You see, whether it's for the kids to eat or not, several elderly women in our team have been feeling unwell lately..."

"Just let Little Yun go on a trip; that monster might have already run away!"

The man waved his hand behind him, and the next second several pre-arranged middle-aged women got off the bus.

"Oh dear, Officer Yun, I dropped a string of beads in the service area behind."

"That's a memento my late spouse left me; you must help me find it back!"

The woman spoke while crying, wiping her tears, her five fingers covered in rings.

"Yeah! Just let Little Yun go over; it'll be quick, she's young—let her get some exercise."

Yun Lin turned her head to look at her younger brother, and for a moment she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

"Younger brother..."

Before she could speak,

Suddenly, a deafening explosion sounded from the distance.

What was that?

Yun Tian's heart jolted; he hurriedly rushed out of the vehicle and looked toward the landslide site.

Looking far off, several black dots appeared at the blasted opening.

"Sister!"

"The blocked spot has been blown open!"

"It looks like someone is coming from over there!"

Yun Lin heard the sound, froze for a moment, then opened the car door and jumped out, looking toward the distance.

The two men standing beside the vehicle suddenly glanced at each other, their eyes darting to the storage compartment inside the car.

There was a pistol there.

Although the female officer also had one on her, that gun had no bullets left.

Taking advantage of Yun Tian and his sister not paying attention behind them,

Without showing any emotion, the two quickly reached into the vehicle, their eyes unable to contain their ecstasy.

"A convoy!"

"And military vehicles!"

"The leader is an armored vehicle?! Could it be the army coming to rescue us!?"

The convoy moved at extreme speed, and the sharp-eyed few shouted excitedly.

After Yun Lin and her brother saw clearly, they also felt a surge of excitement.

On the armored vehicle, Zhang Tie glanced at the convoy blocking the road ahead, then casually asked Lin An, who had his eyes closed in thought.

"Lin Dui, there's a group of survivors ahead; I saw them waving their flags."

"Those people are blocking the road."

"I took a look; aside from two young people, everyone else are old men, old women, and middle-aged uncles."

"They probably pose no threat."

"Should I go down first to take a look?"

After the gas station incident, Zhang Tie naturally became wary of survivors on the highway.

In the past, he would definitely have asked Lin An whether they should stop.

Now he has learned to behave.

After observing, he also knew to first go scout it out.

Zhang Tie turned his head, waiting for Lin An's reply.

I don't know why, but after Mo Ling returned in the morning, he also began imitating Lin Dui by closing his eyes.

However, it does look quite cool.

Lin An heard the voice and slowly opened his eyes; a silver light flashed in them and vanished.

"Make them move aside; if they won't, I'll just plow through."

Lin An always acts decisively and efficiently.

At this stage he doesn't plan to recruit more people, unless they're truly useful.

If these people refuse to listen and won't yield, then we might as well run them over.

If the opportunity is given and I die stupidly, I deserve it.

After hearing that, Zhang Tie hesitated for a moment:

"Lin Dui, I'm afraid we can't plow through; those people have several large vehicles."

"Our armored vehicle can get through, but the convoy behind cannot."

"Moreover..."

Zhang Tie's face looked somewhat strange as he gazed at the old men and women standing in the middle of the road, even those lying on the ground.

"Yield? Those people definitely won't yield."

He simply couldn't fathom how anyone would lie on the ground to stop a vehicle.

Are they seeking death?
