"What light?"
Cai Anxin asked curiously.
"It seems to be car lights, Boss! From the direction of Xishui North Road!"
Seeing the secretary so excited he could hardly contain himself, Cai Anxin couldn't help but look in the direction he was pointing. Sure enough, there was a faint car light shining in the distance.
Even his heart couldn't help but stir, but he didn't lose his composure. Instead, he quickly thought of a strategy and instructed Driver Ah Bin and the secretary.
"The situation is unclear, let's not get too excited just yet. Keep observing quietly!"
"And take out your phones. If they are survivors or a rescue team, shouting for help from inside the car won't be heard!"
"When the time comes, we'll turn on our phone flashlights to create a light source and attract their attention! If that doesn't work, Ah Bin, remember to honk the horn!"
"Whether it attracts more zombies or not, this might be our last chance! Damn it! We're going all out!"
"Understood, Boss!"
After speaking, the three of them stared intently in the direction of the car lights, like drowning people trying to grasp at a lifeline...
Reality did not disappoint them. In less than ten minutes, accompanied by the distinctive roar of a diesel engine, a menacing and imposing armored vehicle appeared in their sight.
As the armored vehicle squeezed past a van and left Xishui North Road, preparing to turn onto Yeda Road.
For a moment, the warm yellow headlights of the armored vehicle shone on the Maybach S680 surrounded by zombies, dazzling the three people inside so much they could hardly open their eyes.
If it were any other time, the three inside the car would have cursed at being blinded like this!
But now, they only felt the warmth of the headlights, so warm it almost brought them to tears!
"Quick, quick! Turn on the phone lights! Wave them against the window!"
...
Inside the Mengshi 3 Armored Assault Vehicle, seeing this familiar intersection, Gu Chengyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
After turning onto Yeda Road, another two to three hundred meters would bring them to the North Gate of Yezhou University.
"Roar~"
Scattered zombies kept lunging at the armored vehicle, but with the powerful engine and sturdy armor of the Mengshi 3, they were either knocked aside or dragged under the vehicle.
"Commander, there's a light flashing inside the black sedan ahead!" Driver Hu Junpeng reported as he prepared to turn onto Yeda Road.
"Light?"
Gu Chengyuan glanced over and indeed saw three light sources flashing inside a black luxury car, seemingly from phones, with faint human silhouettes visible.
"They must be survivors!"
Gu Chengyuan's heart stirred slightly. Humans are social creatures, and in times of disaster, the instinct is to huddle together for warmth.
Gu Chengyuan quickly assessed the current rescue conditions. Although they had run over and crushed some zombies along the way, the assault vehicle hadn't picked up much speed due to obstacles, leaving about twenty or thirty zombies trailing behind.
Around the Maybach, there were about a dozen or twenty zombies, some of which seemed to be heading towards the assault vehicle upon hearing the commotion.
Before the apocalypse, there were no crowds gathered nearby, so as long as they didn't make too much noise, it should be safe to attempt a rescue!
Having made up his mind, Gu Chengyuan immediately roused the resting soldiers inside the vehicle.
Due to the dangerous environment, no one was truly asleep, mostly just resting with their eyes closed, so they quickly became alert.
"Junpeng, don't stop the vehicle. This intersection is quite wide. Now, drive the assault vehicle to crush and hit the zombies, first eliminating and crippling most of them!"
"Other personnel, prepare for combat. Once Junpeng clears a vacuum zone, disembark immediately and establish defensive firepower! Snipers and grenadiers, stay in the vehicle!"
"Understood!"
As the words fell, Hu Junpeng sharply turned the steering wheel and stepped on the gas, heading straight for the Maybach.
Meanwhile, the other soldiers, under the organization of Squad Leader Jia Sanniu, began checking their gear and making simple tactical arrangements.
Bang~
Bang~ Bang~
Continuous collisions sounded, as the Mengshi armored vehicle charged like a bowling ball thrown with full force.
The dozen or so zombies rushing fiercely had no resistance and were knocked flying.
Like ragdolls, they were smashed hard onto the ground, against the guardrails, into the greenery.
Some zombies landed headfirst, their necks bending at a 90-degree angle instantly, losing all movement, while others with multiple broken bones had their mobility severely impaired.
And Hu Junpeng continued to adjust the angle with his foot on the gas!
Boom~
A louder crash sounded, instantly clearing the zombies on one side of the Maybach with the eight-ton steel beast that was the Mengshi 3.
"Disembark and establish defensive firepower! Watch out for the crippled zombies underfoot!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers skillfully jumped out of the vehicle, with Pu Guangqiang, holding a shotgun, leading the charge.
After disembarking, he fired a shot at the zombies surrounding the other side of the Maybach.
Boom~
The powerful and forceful gunshot rang out.
The female zombie at the forefront, her face a bloody mess, had her head explode like a watermelon.
"Woohoo~" Pu Guangqiang let out an excited shout.
Boom~
Boom~
He fired continuously at another seven or eight zombies, the recoil of the shotgun causing his face to tremble slightly.
In less than five seconds, he emptied the magazine, each shot ejecting 14 high-density tungsten alloy pellets from the barrel.
The ferocious zombies, under this highly penetrating metal stream, shattered almost instantly, often with one shot piercing through and destroying several tightly packed zombies.
The soldiers who jumped out of the vehicle afterward didn't even have the chance to fire, as the zombies remaining by the Maybach were cleared by Pu Guangqiang alone with his shotgun.
They could only finish off the zombies crushed and immobilized by the assault vehicle.
Tap tap~
Urgent knocking sounded, bringing the dazed Cai Anxin and the other two back to their senses as they watched the violent clearing outside.
"Get out of the car!" Jia Sanniu shouted from outside.
"Oh, oh, okay!"
Quickly opening the car door, the three who had been sitting inside for quite a while stumbled out.
Secretary Jin's legs gave way, causing him to stumble and fall to one knee, immediately letting out a scream!
"Ah! My hand!"
Jia Sanniu looked in the direction of the scream and saw that he had fallen onto the severed limb of a zombie crushed by the tires.
The soldiers were already engaged with the mini horde of zombies chasing from behind, so Jia Sanniu couldn't spare the time to comfort him.
He grabbed him and pushed him towards the car door, where Cai Anxin took over and hurriedly shoved him inside!
Once Secretary Jin was inside, Cai Anxin followed, scrambling into the vehicle.
"Machine gun cover for boarding, don't linger in battle!" Gu Chengyuan ordered through the walkie-talkie.
Da da da~
With the order given, the 12.7mm heavy machine gun on the roof rotated its barrel and unleashed its own sound.
With just two short bursts, the remaining dozen or so zombies rushing towards the rear of the armored vehicle fell like wheat being cut.
The 12.7mm bullets hit the zombies, bursting into clouds of blood mist, severing anything they grazed into two!
As the barrel swept across, only a field of severed limbs and flesh remained!
Gu Chengyuan was momentarily stunned, marveling at how he had underestimated the power of the heavy machine gun, which had turned cover fire into annihilation!
But he didn't rush the soldiers to collect the crystal cores, figuring they wouldn't run away and it would be safer to collect them in daylight tomorrow!
Once the last soldier boarded, the Mengshi 3 Armored Assault Vehicle restarted, turning onto Yeda Road, and in less than two minutes, they arrived at the familiar North Gate of the West Campus.
