"Brothers! You don't need to do this. I can get them all out of the cars!"

Ding Xiaoshan heard the black-clothed leader's words. Seeing the black-clothed men rush past him towards the convoy behind, he felt a pang of anxiety and hurriedly spoke to the leader.

"Fuck you! Who needs you! Get on your knees!!"

The black-clothed leader kicked Ding Xiaoshan in the face, knocking him to the ground, cursing as he did so.

He was hoping some disobedient people would jump out so he could quickly complete the task the boss had assigned. Why would he need Ding Xiaoshan's help?

"You..."

Seeing Ding Xiaoshan being beaten again, the team members stirred once more. One of them even began to rise, intending to stand up.

Previously, they had been ordinary survivors, scared of zombies and hiding in corners, afraid to even make a sound.

But along the way, they had fought side by side, not only greatly increasing their courage but also developing a certain camaraderie. Some had even had their lives saved by other members.

For men, the fastest way to cultivate feelings is on the battlefield!

"Don't move!"

Ding Xiaoshan, realizing the movement of his brothers behind him, shouted loudly before he could even get up. He knew that these people were just looking for an excuse to make an example of someone. He couldn't let anyone make a move.

Although Ding Xiaoshan was just a security guard, after the outbreak in the mall, he seemed to have found his dignity. After leaving, he encountered zombies and, like Luo Hong, fearlessly charged to the front. Along the way, he himself had killed at least a dozen zombies.

That's why Luo Hong had him lead a team of combat members at the rear to cover their retreat. The members he led were also convinced of his abilities and didn't look down on him because of his security guard status.

Hearing Ding Xiaoshan's order, even the member who had wanted to speak knelt back down, placing his hands behind his head.

Meanwhile, the other black-clothed men had already rushed to the cars in front and began to drive people out.

The rear of Luo Hong's convoy consisted mostly of buses or multi-seater vans. Although they had collected vehicles along the highway out of the city and didn't have much choice, out of the hundred-plus vehicles, there were still about ten buses.

The reason these vehicles were placed at the rear was that this was a highway, a closed environment. Although the railings in areas other than the elevated sections weren't enough to stop the zombies, they had cleared the zombies along the way, so the safest position was still the rear!

Therefore, the buses that could carry the most people were arranged by Luo Hong at the back. When the black-clothed men rushed up, they naturally saw the buses first...

"Get out of the car! Quickly! Everyone out!"

The black-clothed men pointed their guns at the driver, telling him to open the door. Then, they rushed onto the bus, roaring at the people inside.

A bus could typically seat more than forty people, but because drivers had to be drawn from the group, and some people were families who naturally wanted to stay together, there weren't many people on each bus.

Seeing the fierce-looking black-clothed men, the people on the bus were naturally filled with fear. They weren't combat members. They had been protected all the way and had never gotten out of the car. Therefore, they hadn't undergone the same transformation as those who had participated in battle.

Moreover, because they were at the very back, many were family members of the combat members kneeling below. They had already sensed something was wrong behind them and knew that the combat members had given up resisting. Therefore, the survivors on the bus didn't resist and obediently got out of the car under the threat of guns, kneeling on the road as they were told.

Although Ding Xiaoshan didn't have a chance to greet them, it was clear that the people on the bus didn't have enough courage. Thus, they obediently followed the orders. Unable to turn back, Ding Xiaoshan didn't hear any resistance or gunshots after the black-clothed men shouted their orders, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The situation was beyond his control now, so he could only hope that the transmigrator Luo Hong had mentioned would be able to resolve it.

The news of Li Chenzhou's appearance had already spread throughout the convoy, so Ding Xiaoshan naturally knew about it. That was why he was kneeling on the ground so obediently, waiting for the so-called transmigrator to come and save them.

Ding Xiaoshan was willing to risk his life when facing zombies because he knew that only by doing so could he prove his worth. But now, Ding Xiaoshan chose to be a coward because he knew that only by being a coward could he survive!

It wasn't fear of death, but... displaying heroism at this time was completely meaningless. At most, it would earn him a bullet - perhaps along with the respect of the other members, but what use was that respect? In less than three days, they would forget Ding Xiaoshan's name!

Watching the people from the cars in front come down one after another and kneel on the ground without a single person resisting, the black-clothed leader couldn't help but feel annoyed.

If everyone was so obedient, how could he establish his authority?

He had hoped that in the first few cars, there would be some disobedient people. Then, they could shoot them dead to intimidate the others, smoothly incorporating this convoy and having them follow him.

But now, more and more people were getting out of the cars. If there were too many, the dozen or so of them might not be able to control them.

"Hey! Can't you guys have some backbone? Just kneeling down when you're told?"

He finally couldn't help but walk up to a combat member in front, patting his face with his gun and asking with a look of contempt.

He didn't choose Ding Xiaoshan because that guy was acting too cowardly.

"Backbone? If you have the guts, put down your gun and let's have a one-on-one fight. See who has backbone!"

The member who had been provoked glared fiercely at the black-clothed leader and said.

"Oh! You really..."

The black-clothed leader couldn't help but laugh and was about to speak when a childish voice suddenly rang out from the kneeling crowd in the bus behind them:

"Daddy!"

Along with the voice, a five- or six-year-old girl broke free from a woman's embrace and ran towards the man who had spoken.

"Xiao Qian, come back!"

The woman was shocked and quickly got up to chase after her, trying to pull the girl back.

"Hehe!"

The black-clothed leader, hearing the voice and looking towards it, saw the little girl and suddenly smiled. He looked down at the man who had immediately turned his head at the sound, reached out and released the gun's safety, aiming the gun at the girl:

"Finally, someone who's disobedient!"
