56: Ah Hua, die!

The end of the underground pedestrian street.

Not far ahead, light could already be seen.

That was the evacuation point.

The entire process had been safe and smooth.

However, just as the group was about to rush out of the underground pedestrian street, footsteps came from behind.

Shouts followed closely.

"Is that Qiu Churou?!"

"It's me, Gao Jianbo!"

Wang Feng and Qiu Churou stopped in their tracks immediately.

Looking back, it was none other than the captain of the Shelter's armed forces!

Gao Jianbo!

"It's Captain Gao!"

"It's me! I'm Qiu Churou!"

"It was Wang Feng who saved me and the children!"

Hearing Qiu Churou's voice, Gao Jianbo immediately beamed with joy.

"Brothers! We've finally found them!"

"Brother Wang Feng! Thank you!"

Just as Wang Feng was about to speak, he inadvertently caught sight of some old acquaintances in the group.

Wan Jinxuan!

Du Hao, and A Hua!

The others also saw Wang Feng.

Wan Jinxuan's eyes lit up.

Haha!

Who would have thought, an unexpected harvest!

"Wang Feng!"

"What a small world!"

"Since I've run into you here, don't even think about leaving alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Jinxuan pulled out a submachine gun and sprayed a burst of bullets!

Wang Feng was quick-witted and agile; he dove to the side, dodging the bullets.

The burst of bullets grazed the children's faces, kicking up dust and rubble.

The children screamed in terror.

Seeing this, Gao Jianbo immediately shouted, "Wan Jinxuan! What are you doing?!"

"These are our children, and you dare to open fire on them?!"

Wan Jinxuan was stunned for a moment.

The underground pedestrian street was dim.

He had only seen Wang Feng and hadn't noticed the little ones at all.

As a result, that burst of gunfire had directly enraged Gao Jianbo.

The other Armed Soldiers immediately raised their guns.

Wan Jinxuan was dumbfounded.

"I... I didn't mean to!"

"I just wanted to kill that bastard Wang Feng!"

What the hell?! Kill Wang Feng?!

Upon hearing this, a surge of anger rushed to Qiu Churou's head.

Wang Feng was her and the children's savior!

If it weren't for him, she and the children would have died at the kindergarten long ago!

"He is my savior!"

"He is also the savior of these children!"

"If it weren't for Wang Feng, we would have died long ago!"

"And you, you actually dare to kill him?!"

"Captain Gao! Come and help us!"

Although Wan Jinxuan had helped Gao Jianbo, he had just nearly killed their children with that burst of gunfire.

Plus, Qiu Churou had said that Wang Feng was her savior.

They knew exactly who to help.

And so—clatter—dark gun barrels were immediately aimed at Wan Jinxuan.

Wan Jinxuan panicked.

"What are you doing?!"

Gao Jianbo's eyes were cold.

"I don't care who you are or why you saved us."

"But you just nearly killed our children, and you also attacked their savior."

"You are our enemy!"

Wan Jinxuan's brain felt like it was buzzing.

Holy crap!

What the hell is going on here?!

How was I supposed to know those brats were your children!

And it was so dark here, I didn't see them, I just wanted to kill Wang Feng, what did I do wrong?!

Without giving Wan Jinxuan any chance to explain, Gao Jianbo and the Armed Soldiers opened fire together.

In a round of concentrated fire, Du Hao, unable to dodge in time, was instantly killed!

The people from Carriage No. 445 were stunned when they saw this scene.

"Holy shit!!!"

"We were just about to reach the end, how could this happen!"

"Captain! Captain! What will we do now that you're dead!"

On the Points leaderboard, the word 'Eliminated' appeared in scarlet next to Du Hao's name.

Other carriages were also watching the spectacle, enjoying the chaos.

"Haha! Playing with fire and getting burned!"

"If you just honestly brought the people to the end, you would have won! But you just had to attack Wang Feng!"

"Don't mess with Wang Feng in the instance; how can you not understand such a simple principle! Well, look at you now, dead!"

"To be fair, there are quite a few women in that guy Du Hao's carriage, right? Since the carriage is about to be eliminated, it's every man for himself now!"

Sure enough.

Du Hao's body wasn't even cold yet.

The women in the carriage started frantically sending barrage comments, selling themselves off cheaply.

The same scene had happened with Ke Yutang; now, after Du Hao's death, it was repeating itself.

How ridiculous.

Meanwhile, the battle in the livestream remained intense.

The Armed Soldiers led by Gao Jianbo had completely broken ties with Wan Jinxuan.

Wan Jinxuan was fast.

But the underground pedestrian street was too narrow and enclosed, and the other side had so many guns.

No matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun so many bullets!

"Damn it!"

"You ungrateful bastards!"

"If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago! Why are you attacking us!"

"Our target is only Wang Feng!"

Qiu Churou seemed weak.

But when her savior was being threatened by others, she displayed a completely different kind of fortitude.

"You are trying to kill my savior right in front of me!"

"You've gone too far!"

After saying this, she didn't forget to throw stones at them.

At the same time, the children followed suit.

Wan Jinxuan was already furious.

Being pelted with stones by children made his anger burn even hotter.

"Damn it! You're all bastards!"

"Kill! Kill them all!"

Hearing this, Gao Jianbo immediately shouldered his rocket launcher.

"You dare to kill our children?!"

"You're courting death!"

Boom—!!! The violent explosion sent Wan Jinxuan flying.

At the same time, the gunshots and explosions also attracted the attention of the zombies.

The zombie horde blocking the instance entrance turned their direction again, rushing into the pedestrian street from various underground entrances!

Messy footsteps rushed over like a landslide!

Gao Jianbo gritted his teeth.

"Damn it! The zombies are coming!"

"No, we must retreat immediately!"

Gao Jianbo led the Armed Soldiers as they fought and retreated.

However, Qiu Churou was desperately calling out Wang Feng's name.

"Wang Feng!"

"Leave quickly! The zombies are coming!"

But the thunderous footsteps drowned out her voice.

In the dim underground pedestrian street, she couldn't see her savior's figure at all.

"Wang Feng—!!!"

"Leave quickly!!! Run!!!"

Just then!

The zombies rushed into the underground pedestrian street!

Amidst the flickering gunfire, she finally saw Wang Feng's figure.

He was like a lone boat in a raging storm.

Qiu Churou locked eyes with him.

Wang Feng just smiled faintly and tilted his chin toward the exit.

Qiu Churou desperately ran toward Wang Feng, wanting to bring him out.

That was her savior!

The great savior who, in such a tragic apocalypse, had disregarded his own safety to save her and those children!

She absolutely could not watch her savior die right in front of her!

Just then, several zombies lunged directly at Qiu Churou's face!

Everything happened too quickly.

Neither Gao Jianbo nor Qiu Churou could react in time.

Seeing the sharp claws about to slash her throat, a burst of bullets shot over!

It tore the zombies into pieces!

Then Wang Feng rushed up and shoved Qiu Churou toward the exit.

"Go!!!"

The next instant, Wang Feng was submerged by the zombie horde.

"No—!"

She screamed in despair.

However, Gao Jianbo and the Armed Soldiers dragged her away from the pedestrian street.

After rushing out of the station exit, the scene before them opened up.

The Armed Soldiers took the children and left from the evacuation point.

But Qiu Churou looked at the exit, tears streaming down her face.

"Wang Feng... Wang Feng..."

Gao Jianbo sighed.

"Wang Feng won't survive."

"Qiu Churou, we need to leave here."

"But—!!! He shouldn't have died!" Qiu Churou became hysterical.

"He saved my life! He saved the children's lives!"

"In the apocalypse, anyone who sees women and children would walk the other way!"

"Only him! Only him! He didn't mind that we were a burden, and he saved us!"

"Why! Why!!!"

"We were just about to reach the evacuation point!!!"

Gao Jianbo couldn't answer this question.

The sound of the zombies grew louder and louder, and many were already rushing toward the exit.

"Hurry up and go!"

"If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

"The children are still waiting for you!"

Qiu Churou still didn't get up.

She was covered in tears, her mind filled with the image of Wang Feng pushing her away.

Seeing this, Gao Jianbo waved his hand.

Two muscular female soldiers came over and forcibly pulled her up.

"Let's go, Churou!"

"If we don't leave now, we'll all die here!"

"Wang Feng! Wang Feng—!!!"

The shouting grew fainter and hoarser.

Gao Jianbo took one last look at the exit of the underground pedestrian street and shook his head helplessly.

"Sorry, brother."

The group boarded the evacuation jeep and drove away.

The underground pedestrian street grew further and further away, and Qiu Churou's crying gradually stopped.

However, there was much less of her former gentleness and friendliness in her eyes.

It was replaced by a sense of distance and indifference.

She was a person who valued relationships deeply.

Wang Feng had saved her life.

Yet, when Wang Feng encountered danger, she couldn't do anything.

This regret, along with her disappointment in herself, made her eyes gradually turn cold.

And Gao Jianbo, looking at her eyes, didn't say a word.

In the distance, the young referee witnessed everything and just gave a calm, cold sneer.

Then, calculating the headcounts, he added all the Points to Wang Feng's total.

Qiu Churou and the children were saved by Wang Feng, so the Points naturally belonged to him.

The Armed Soldiers had betrayed Wan Jinxuan before the finish line and chosen Qiu Churou.

Their Points, naturally, would also be counted toward Wang Feng.

That was the rule.

...

In the eyes of the NPCs, Wang Feng was already dead.

But in the livestream footage, Wang Feng was nimbly flipping and weaving through the zombie horde.

With the physical advantages brought by Gene Enhancement, and without the burden of women and children, Wang Feng was like a god of slaughter.

His sharp machete carved out perfect arcs, cleanly and efficiently lopping off the heads of the surrounding zombies.

Not a single leaf touched his body.

Wan Jinxuan and A Hua were not so lucky.

They were besieged by the zombie horde, retreating step by step.

Besides them, the players who had entered the underground pedestrian street were also being surrounded and slaughtered by the zombie horde.

"Damn it! I thought we had found a safe path!"

"But the gunshots attracted the zombies! We're all going to die here!"

The wails and gunfire were gradually drowned out by the zombie horde.

One scarlet 'Eliminated' notification after another popped up in succession.

Those players who had previously risked their lives to escort NPCs and had managed to obtain Points with great difficulty were also tragically eliminated in the mutual slaughter and the zombie siege.

Points, cleared to zero.

Their carriages were filled with screams.

Only three lucky ones had stayed near the instance entrance from the beginning, waiting for the right moment.

So, when the zombie horde left, they were the first to rush into the evacuation point and complete their Points settlement.

However, their Points were at most only a dozen or so, far behind Wang Feng.

Even so, they still breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, they didn't end up with zero.

There were only 10 minutes left until the end of the instance.

If they couldn't leave the instance before the time ended, they would automatically be considered eliminated.

Wan Jinxuan and A Hua, who were in the underground pedestrian street, were sweating profusely with anxiety.

The zombies couldn't kill them, but they held them back.

They kept launching attacks toward the finish line, but each time they were beaten back by the zombie horde.

Ammunition was being consumed rapidly.

They were on the verge of running out of ammo.

Just at this moment, a series of dense gunshots came from behind!

It was the members of the Armed Soldiers attracted by the rescue beacon!

Their appearance instantly attracted the attention of the zombie horde.

Wan Jinxuan and A Hua saw hope for victory.

"Great! Great!"

"Charge! Charge out of here!"

They ran desperately toward the exit!

Faster! Faster!

Damn legs! Run faster!!!

But just at this moment!

A burst of bullets shot out from the shadows!

A Hua was running too intently and was instantly shot in the leg.

"Aaaaaah—!!!"

"Jinxuan! My leg has been shot off!"

However, Wan Jinxuan didn't pay any attention to her at all.

In a time when every second counted, who would care about someone else's life or death!

Watching Wan Jinxuan move further and further away, A Hua fell into total despair.

Just then, a figure flashed past her!

Two grenades landed in front of her.

Boom—!!!

Carriage No. 445, Gutie Squad.

A Hua—Dead!
