Chapter 302 - 302 A Noble Sacrifice
“If it were me, I would also make the same sacrifice without hesitation,” Wu Liang said with a righteous tone.
However, he was relieved that the zombie had not targeted him.
“Wu, why didn’t anyone stop the zombies from doing that?
“Didn’t you say that this place seems to be well-mannered?” Li asked in fear.
He was also afraid of being chosen.
“Look, that zombie never once forced him.
“Wang gave him his consent.
“I guess this place allows such private transactions,” Wu Liang deduced.
Li and Zhou nodded and began to mourn for Wang.
They had no idea if Wang was the attacker or the pincushion…
Not long after, another zombie walked toward the three of them.
It was a fat Mutated Zombie with green pus flowing out of its body. It was much more disgusting than the silver-eyed zombie from before.
The fat zombie sized up the three of them and finally settled on Wu Liang.
“Human, I have some nutritious instant noodles. Do you want some?”
The fat zombie looked at Wu Liang, revealing his yellow teeth.
Wu Liang’s body trembled.
It’s my turn?
Wu Liang was about to refuse, when he saw the gazes of his two team members.
If he backed down now, his words be a slap in the face.
“I… I… Ha!”
Wu Liang gritted his teeth and nodded.
Wu Liang silently cried in his heart as he followed the fat zombie to the small tent.
“Captain Wu is really awesome, I’m impressed.”
“From the looks of it, Wang got off lucky.”
“Mm…”
Li and Zhou got back to work.
Late at night, Wang and Wu Liang came out of their tents.
They could barely walk…
However, they had received the sausages and noodles. Their hands had also been stamped by the zombies, but they didn’t know what it meant.
Li and Zhou did not dare to ask them.
Wang and Wu Liang probably would not want to be reminded of it.
“You guys can go back and rest,” a red-eyed zombie who was in charge of night shift said to them.
The four of them sagged with relief.
With the help of two other people, Wu Liang and Wang got on the bus back to the residential area.
The driver was an old man.
“You guys are new, right?”
There were only a few of them in the car, so it was rather odd if they didn’t chat.
“It’s… We escaped from the west,” Wu Liang answered.
“The west? Then you guys are quite lucky.
“Wasn’t there a horde of zombies in the west? Barely anyone survived.”
The old man sighed.
“Oh, you mean that horde of zombies?
“I heard that they reached here. How did you manage to fight them off?”
Wu Liang began to ask.
He had finally found someone he could chat with. He had to dig out more information.
“This is all thanks to the Savior of N-City, Boss Wang Ran!” the old man said with a face full of admiration.
“Boss Wang Ran led us to build a temporary protective wall.
“The wall stopped the bulk of the horde.
“But Boss Wang Ran still did most of the heavy lifting. He rushed out and fought with dozens of zombies alone.
“He even fought off the Zombie Monarch and a few red-eyed zombies!
“In the end, the zombies were forced to surrender.
“You spotted a lot of zombies doing hard labor, right? They were all captured back then.”
Perhaps it was because public transport drivers were talkative by nature. Once he started talking, he could not stop.
...
“One person fighting dozens of zombies, including the Zombie Monarch and red-eyed zombies?
“Tsk… you should at least try to keep it real!” Wang said while rubbing his butt.
Even a rank-six would not take on dozens of silver-eyed zombies.
Red eyes… Zombie Monarch…
Wasn’t this the same as their company’s head boasting that he could fight take on ten red-eyed female zombies at night?
Of course, Wang didn’t dare to speak up.
“I don’t blame you newbies for not understanding.
“Talking bad about Boss Wang Ran in N-City?
“Zombies and humans alike will come to beat you up,” the old man warned them.
Wu Liang and the others were silent for a while.
It seemed that Wang Ran had a good hold over N-City.
...
Both humans and zombies followed the rules, and Wang Ran seemed to be genuinely loved and respected by the denizens.
Wu Liang probed further.
From what he could gather, N-City was terrifyingly powerful.
Wu Liang felt that if what the old man said was true, N-City would be much more powerful than the company.
From the looks of it, he would have to snoop around more!
After a half an hour’s drive, the bus stopped at the entrance of a large camp.
These were simple square-shaped houses, and it was obvious that they had been built hastily.
At first glance, there were two to three thousand makeshift houses, which could accommodate quite a number of people.
“You can go inside and report to the receptionist. They will help you make arrangements,” the old man said and drove away.
Wu Liang brought his underlings to the entrance of the campsite, where there was a reception area.
A chubby young girl saw Wu Liang and the other three and immediately came up to them.
“You’re new here today, right?
“I’m the new receptionist of this temporary camp, Liu.
“Do you mind sharing a four-person room?
“I can make the arrangements now,” Liu asked with a smile.
“Sure, we all know each other. One room works.”
Wu Liang nodded.
Living together with no outsiders among them would make it easier for them to communicate in private.
“These are the keys to your room. Just follow the number and you’ll be able to find it.
“Also, there’s a little newcomer benefit here.
“All the newcomers can get a snack. Sausages, drinks, and so on.
“Hey, you two have already collected it? That checks in.”
Liu took out a lamp and scanned it. She found that Wu Liang and Wang already had seals in their hands.
Wu Liang and Wang were shocked!
Those two b*stard zombies!
Wu Liang was so furious that he almost passed out.
Even Wu Liang, who was known for his calm, could not control himself.
Three hours, it had lasted three whole hours!
Wang also looked like he had nothing to live for.
“Wu must be exhausted.
“We’re going to rest. We won’t disturb you any longer,”
Zhou and Li quickly tugged Wu Liang and Wang away, in case they suddenly went berserk.
