"Then I'm sorry!"

Duan Lei looked at the man and suddenly sneered. Then, he raised his hand...

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole appeared in the center of the man's forehead. He fell down, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Ah~~!"

The surrounding survivors screamed when they saw that Duan Lei had actually dared to kill someone. Duan Lei immediately shouted:

"Shut up!"

With the remaining power of having just shot someone, Duan Lei's shout really did silence those people instantly. They all looked at Duan Lei with terrified expressions.

"Can't you see the zombies over there? If you keep screaming and attract them, will you stop them?"

Duan Lei pointed at the zombies in the distance, then looked at the dozen or so survivors. Among them were men, women, old people, and even two children, one about three or four years old, and the other about ten.

"Boss! Get a few cars ready!"

Duan Lei turned and shouted loudly at Li Chenzhou.

"Okay!"

Li Chenzhou swung his long staff, smashing the head of the last zombie into a pulpy mess. He replied:

"How many do you need?"

"Just get any car you see ready! And take care of the zombies inside while you're at it!"

Duan Lei shouted back.

Li Chenzhou didn't reply. He waved his staff to indicate that he understood, then went to a minivan parked by the side of the road and used a tool to open the door...

"Who knows how to drive? Raise your hand!"

Duan Lei asked, looking at the people.

Before he had even finished speaking, everyone except the two children and a man in his forties raised their hands.

They had heard Duan Lei's conversation with Li Chenzhou earlier and naturally knew that he was choosing drivers. In this situation, being a driver was undoubtedly the best option.

They wouldn't have to collect resources or rescue other survivors, just drive. And regardless of whether there were any other seats available, at least the driver would definitely be in the car.

"Whose child is this?"

Duan Lei pointed at the child who looked to be around ten years old. As for the three- or four-year-old, he was being held in the arms of a mother who already had her hand raised, so there was no need to ask.

"Mine!"

A woman next to him replied.

"Alright! Everyone, stay behind the cars!"

Duan Lei nodded, then patted the roof of the armored vehicle.

"Sis, let's move forward!"

Seeing this, Gray Bear also squeezed into the driver's seat and started driving forward. Duan Xue immediately followed in her car, and the survivors all followed as well. Because the armored vehicle was driving slowly, they were practically glued to it, looking like a group of people pushing the car.

Duan Lei, on the other hand, stood on top with his gun, watching the surroundings. From time to time, he would raise his hand and fire a shot, killing any zombie within range. This scene undoubtedly strengthened the survivors' confidence in following Duan Lei.

"You two get in this car with your children. Either of you can drive. The other one, take care of the kids!"

When they arrived at the first vehicle that Li Chenzhou had opened, Duan Lei pointed at the two women with children.

"Bro! I'm her husband, I have to be with her!"

The man next to the woman with the three- or four-year-old child quickly raised his hand and said.

"Their car will follow us, they don't need your protection. You have your own things to do!"

Duan Lei shook his head.

"Think about it carefully. You have a wife and child. If you hide in the car with them, what will you eat after we get out of here?"

"Okay!"

The man was stunned. He turned to look at his wife, then nodded.

The two women got into the car with their children, while Duan Lei looked at Li Chenzhou, who was still opening car doors and starting engines, and shouted:

"Boss, why don't we clear out the zombies around this building and let the people inside out?"

"Alright!"

Li Chenzhou nodded, opening every car he could see. If there were zombies inside, he would just kill them.

Actually, Li Chenzhou was hoping that every car would have a zombie inside. Not only would he gain kill points, but he would also likely get the car keys, which would be much more convenient.

For cars that were empty, Li Chenzhou could only hotwire them. If the driver got nervous and stalled the car, he wouldn't even know if they could start it again.

Duan Lei continued to assign the survivors, letting them get into the cars one by one. Then, he had Leopard turn around and follow behind the cars. Otherwise, with so many cars, the line would be very long, and Duan Lei wouldn't be able to keep an eye on everything!

Then, the convoy turned together behind the nearby building, clearing out all the zombies inside. The survivors in the building finally ran out.

Duan Lei repeated his previous words. This time, no one objected. For one thing, their group already had a lot of people, and the newcomers didn't know the situation.

And for another, some of the survivors on the upper floors had seen Duan Lei kill that guy earlier through the window, so naturally, they wouldn't object. Of course, no one chose to leave either.

Under Duan Lei's command, the people in the group began to collect supplies separately. Some people started their own cars and, according to Duan Lei's instructions, either carried people or loaded various supplies. For a time, it seemed quite organized.

Killing the zombies was left to Li Chenzhou. After cleaning up the area, he continued on to the next place to clear it out, leaving Duan Lei and Gray Bear to lead the people in collecting supplies and rescuing survivors. Of course, they also had to kill any stragglers.

Under Duan Lei's influence, a dozen or so men among the survivors stood up and acted as combat personnel. Some of them had even killed a zombie or two, including the father of the three-year-old child.

Duan Lei said to them simply:

"The world we live in now is this world overrun with zombies. If you want to survive, the best thing you can rely on is yourself. If you don't dare to kill zombies, then you'll only live a little longer. Eventually, you will be eliminated by this world. So, you have to learn to face them, kill them. Only then can you protect your family, protect yourself!!!"

After clearing this area, Li Chenzhou continued on his own, still following the right side of the road, and entered a nearby residential area. After a round of killing, he finally killed all the zombies and shouted loudly:

"Everyone listen up! There's a rescue team behind you. You can start packing up the food and water in your homes. Once the rescue team has cleared the zombies in the stairwells, follow them out immediately!"

After shouting, Li Chenzhou turned around and left, ignoring the people who were calling out to him for help from the windows.

Just as he was leaving the residential area and preparing to continue on, he suddenly noticed a flower, bird, fish, and insect market across the street. Seeing the sign, Li Chenzhou immediately stopped.

This kind of place is usually the best place for mutated beasts to be born, and the road wasn't wide, just a four-lane road. So, if there were mutated beasts in that market, then this place would no longer be safe…
