Now, hundreds or even thousands had been drawn in at once, their density skyrocketing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there had once been a chance to slip out unnoticed through the zombie horde, now, unless you grew wings like the drone, even a god of war would be reduced to a pile of bones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su said nothing, his face grim. Soon after, he tilted his head and said, “Listen—what’s the speaker saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the drone drew slightly closer to Building Three, Zhang Su and the others finally made out the words from the speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attention all survivors! Attention! We will establish a safe zone along the route to Funing County! We will establish a safe zone along the route to Funing County! Welcome survivors capable of leaving Qincheng—let us unite and overcome this crisis together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attention all survivors! Attention! We…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The repeated message echoed from the loudspeaker, reverberating over Sheng Qin Jiayuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drone, carrying the speaker, flew everywhere; the zombies on the streets had mostly been lured into the neighborhood. At that moment, three vehicles sped past down the road. As they passed, the loudspeaker’s voice cut off abruptly, and the drone flew toward the direction of the cars, vanishing beyond the line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombies clawing at the sky suddenly lost their target, looking around in confusion. The crowded horde gradually dispersed, drifting slowly in all directions, necks stretched out, sniffing hard—they were clearly searching for new prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the announcement sounded encouraging, it created immense trouble for the survivors of Sheng Qin International Community!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three SUVs that had sped past halted by the roadside after crossing the zombie-packed stretch. The front passenger door of the lead Land Cruiser opened, and a man in a leather jacket stepped out, catching the returning drone in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he returned to the vehicle, the car continued driving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A drone that costs two hundred thousand is a real drone—awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the leather jacket handed the drone to someone behind him, then turned to the driver and said, “Kai Ge, why should we bother calling other survivors? We’re hiding out at Boss Liu’s farm stay, safe and comfy—even if the world’s ending outside. Why bother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. Those guys are just food-wasting trash—useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin man in the back seat chimed in, his smile carrying malice—the kind of guy even grandmas wouldn’t dare provoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe, useless?” The driver chuckled softly, his voice hoarse. “How did we get out here? Have you forgotten so soon? Without all those cannon fodder holding them off, could we have survived? Do you want to be the cannon fodder yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At critical moments, you don’t need to outrun the zombies—just outrun the other survivors, and you’ll have a chance to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men in the car suddenly understood. Someone clapped his hands: “That’s right! We warmly welcome survivors!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sinister laugh erupted inside the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the apocalypse, every person, every group has their own way of survival…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Sheng Qin Jiayuan, every survivor still able to move peered nervously from behind windows. The sudden announcement filled many hearts with hope, and for once, a faint smile appeared on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qincheng governed four counties; the nearest was Funing County, only thirty kilometers away—barely a foot on the gas. Unfortunately, none of them realized that in this world, twenty or thirty kilometers had become an impossibly distant journey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Sheng Qin Jiayuan’s current state, even breaking out of the neighborhood was a formidable challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They said… they’re going to build a safe zone along the way to Funing County?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Xiaoshanyi’s eyes lit up. “I’m from Funing County! My parents live in Xiao Pu Zhuang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she didn’t say it outright, Zhang Su could read her intent from her excited gaze. He bluntly doused her hopes: “They lured hundreds of zombies into the neighborhood just to broadcast a message about building a safe zone. Do you think those people are kind-hearted—or malicious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the drone’s skilled maneuvers, Zhang Su guessed that along this route, those people had done this many times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pretended to be helping survivors by announcing the safe zone—but in truth, they were simply clearing obstacles for their own escape from the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a fight for survival, there’s no right or wrong—only life or death. But Zhang Su believed anyone using such despicable methods couldn’t be good. Of course, he didn’t think he himself was good either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Xiaoshanyi paused after hearing Zhang Su’s words, frowned in thought, then looked down at the streets now swarming with far more zombies than before. Calmly, she conceded his point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Xinyu stared helplessly at the dense, jostling mass of zombies and said, “Brother Su, if ordinary people could set up safe zones, the authorities would’ve done it already. What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right. Given how fast the authorities respond to emergencies, they wouldn’t be slower than civilians. I think the relevant departments must’ve established safe zones right away—probably in some hospital!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Xiaoshanyi quickly agreed with Zheng Xinyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su shook his head. “You two are awfully optimistic—but blindly so. First, those people only said they’d build a safe zone. They haven’t even started. It’s just an idea—you can have one, I can have one too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second, they only said ‘along the route to Funing.’ That route is twenty to thirty kilometers long, with no specific location mentioned—meaning they don’t even have a clear target.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Best case, the safe zone is just a rough idea they’re throwing out. Worst case, they’re using the announcement as an excuse to lure zombies away from the road, so they can pass through this dangerous stretch. As for official safe zones—I suspect some exist, but they’re small-scale and targeted. They have little to do with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshanyi weren’t children. After hearing Zhang Su’s words, they understood his meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brief incident passed. Among the survivors of Sheng Qin Jiayuan, some shared Zhang Su’s thoughts, others grew restless, and some had already begun acting…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around four in the afternoon, the sun slanted westward. After finishing their exercise, Zhang Su and the others ate snacks to replenish energy while analyzing possible solutions and zombie behavior. Outside the window, the loudspeaker blared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Burned my calories, bye-bye donut…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pop song suddenly blared out, jarringly loud in the silent environment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three rushed to the window, but their angle didn’t show the source. They had to run to Unit 802 to see from the southern window what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had copied the same tactic—using a drone to hang a speaker and lure zombies. But this drone’s performance was poor: its speed, altitude, and stability were far worse than the previous one. It wobbled precariously, as if about to crash at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1192,"2026-06-20T15:15:14.526Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e1c6f6d324f90fade2147552ef030b9bf300f23f91c5cc0255ae349365a8f50f","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-30","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-28",694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-cover.jpg"]
