Yin Xianghua hugged Cheng Jing tightly as if she were a lost treasure that had been found again, feeling her violent trembling, and his eyes also welled up with tears.
He gently patted Cheng Jing's back, soothing him in a low voice like he was comforting a child: "It's alright, it's alright, I'm here, don't be afraid..."
Cheng Jing just cried, burying her head in his chest, as if she wanted to cry out all the fear and despair that had accumulated over the past few days.
She cried as she intermittently pounded on Yin Xianghua's chest, as if blaming him for arriving too late, or as if venting her grievances.
"Wow... Daddy, it really is you! You weren't eaten! Waaah..." Xu Xiuan also rushed towards Xu Shuoyu with her short legs, buried her head in his arms, and cried loudly.
Xu Shuoyu squatted down and hugged his daughter's small body tightly, feeling the warmth and trembling from her body. A pang of sadness and guilt welled up in his heart.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his throat choked up, and could only repeat over and over again, "Xiuan, Daddy's here, Daddy's here..."
Chapter 18 It’s almost time
The joy of surviving the ordeal was like a gentle spring breeze, dispelling the gloom that had hung over everyone's hearts. Their tense nerves finally relaxed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
The survivors sat together, recounting their experiences since their separation. Thrill, fear, relief... a mix of emotions mingled.
Cheng Jing nestled tightly in Yin Xianghua's arms and softly asked them how they had managed to get here, overcoming countless zombies.
Yin Xianghua's voice was deep and gentle. He ruffled Cheng Jing's hair and recounted the thrilling journey, emphasizing Yang Yi's help.
When Yin Xianghua pointed at Yang Yi, Cheng Jing and the others suddenly noticed the "mysterious big shot" who had been silently standing behind them, dressed like a medieval knight.
The group was taken aback at first, then their faces were filled with shock.
After a brief moment of shock, gratitude welled up in their hearts. Cheng Jing, Xu Shuoyu, Xu Xiuan, and others came before Yang Yi and bowed deeply to express their sincerest thanks.
"Thank you so much!" Cheng Jing's voice was slightly choked with emotion. She was pregnant and her bowing was a little difficult, but her eyes were full of sincerity.
"Thank you, Uncle, for saving me and my dad!" Xu Xiuan looked up, her clear eyes sparkling with admiration.
"We will never forget your great kindness!" Others also stepped forward.
"Oh, don't be so polite. It was nothing. If you want to thank someone, thank Chen Ke. She's the one who asked me to come."
"No, no, it's all thanks to the big boss! The big boss is awesome!" Chen Ke said, waving his hands repeatedly.
After a while, everyone calmed down. Baseball player Rongguo tremblingly took out his phone and dialed his girlfriend Jinzhenxi's number. The familiar ringtone echoed in the empty carriage, each ring like a hammer blow to his heart, a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.
"Hello? Zhenxi, are you alright? I... I'm still alive!" Rongguo's voice choked with emotion, his eyes reddening.
“Rongguo! Thank goodness, you’re alright… Waaah…” Jin Zhenxi’s voice came through the phone, choked with sobs, then suddenly turned anxious.
"Is it safe over there? If not, you can come to carriage 15. There are lots of people here, it's very safe... *sobs*"
"Jin-hee? Jin-hee, what's wrong? Jin-hee? Speak up!" Rong-guo asked anxiously.
But then a jumble of noises came from the other end of the phone. It sounded like something had covered Zhenxi's mouth, and then there was a "thud" as if the phone had been thrown to the ground, and then there was complete silence.
Rong Guo's face turned deathly pale, his hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably. He suddenly looked up at Yang Yi, his eyes filled with pleading and despair. His lips moved, but he could only utter a few words.
"Senior...Senior..."
Seeing Rong Guo's dejected appearance, Yang Yi gently patted his shoulder and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, leave it to me. Even if you didn't say anything, I would still have to go and meet those 'people'."
"I'm tired of killing zombies, so let's change things up and kill a few 'beasts' to refresh our palate. After all, it's Busan, so what's the point of coming here if we don't kill these beasts like Executive Director Kim?"
Yang Yi stretched his neck, his eyes gradually sharpening, and faint arcs of electricity flickered around his body.
"Everyone, stay close, let's go 'visit' carriage number 15!" Yang Yi kicked the door of carriage number 14 and then took the lead in walking towards carriage number 14.
Yin Xianghua and the others exchanged glances and silently followed. They knew that a new massacre was about to begin.
In carriage number fourteen, the zombies remained, but for Yang Yi now, it was nothing more than a wave of his hand. Considering that Xu Xiuan was still present, Yang Yi didn't use an area-of-effect skill this time, but instead chose to "target and eliminate" them.
Yang Yi crossed his arms, and two red material fist blades appeared in his hands. Then, he flashed and appeared at the end of the carriage. The zombies that had just been roaring and charging at them suddenly stopped moving, and then one of their bodies exploded and disappeared into the air.
Because there was a child present, Yang Yi sold the zombie into the conversion table the moment it died.
Xu Xiuan stared wide-eyed as Yang Yi effortlessly and easily eliminated those terrifying monsters, her little face filled with admiration.
"Wow... Uncle is so amazing..."
Upon hearing Xu Xiuan's exclamation, Yang Yi's lips curled into a smile. With a thought, the Abyss Helmet dissipated into dark red particles, revealing a face that was almost as handsome as the reader's.
The interior lights shone on his face, giving him an indescribable charm.
"Wow..." Xu Xiuan stared wide-eyed, her mouth slightly agape, her face full of disbelief.
Not only Xu Xiuan, but Cheng Jing and the others were also stunned. They never expected that such a face would be hidden beneath that heavy, menacing helmet.
"Alright, alright," Yang Yi waved his hand, interrupting everyone, "Let's get down to business first."
Then Yang Yi gestured to Rong Guo to knock on the door of carriage number fifteen.
Although Yang Yi could just rush in and kill indiscriminately, he thought he should also ask Rong Guo and the others to help identify which of the damned beasts were among them, since there were still a few innocent good people in this group.
Rong Guo and Yin Xianghua went up and knocked on the door, but there was no response from carriage number 15.
After knocking for a while, Rong Guo, anxious to find out his girlfriend's condition, got impatient and his temper flared up. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and smashed it against the glass door of the carriage several times.
"Damn it, you won't open the door? I'll smash it open!"
After a few bangs, there was finally movement inside carriage number 15, and a sharp sound came out.
"Don't come in! You guys have gone through so many carriages, you must have been bitten by zombies and are about to turn into zombies! We absolutely won't open the door, you can just wait to die outside!"
Rong Guo was furious, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Bullshit! All the zombies in the nearby carriages have been wiped out! It's perfectly safe outside! What do you mean by not opening the door?"
No matter how they explained or assured them, the people inside didn't believe them.
"All the zombies were killed? Who killed them? You're not going to say it was you guys, are you? Haha, that's hilarious. Those guys were definitely bitten by zombies and are now hallucinating."
"Yes, everyone, hold the door shut! Don't let them bring the virus in!"
At that moment, Executive Director Kim's repulsive voice rang out, filled with undisguised sarcasm: "Heh, trying to trick us into opening the door? Dream on! You can fend for yourselves outside!"
Rong Guo was furious. He had never seen such a shameless person in his life. He was about to curse when Yang Yi stopped him.
Yang Yi walked to the front, looked the carriage door up and down, and shouted into the doorway with a smile: "I'll give you 30 seconds. If you don't open the door, I'll open it myself. And then something bad might happen."
"Ah, you little brat, you dare threaten us? Everyone ignore them, close the door tightly, don't let them in. They're definitely infected, and they're probably making their last stand."
Executive Director Kim curled his lip in disdain, ordered everyone to block the car door tightly, and called a few more people to help block the door. Several people who tried to open the door were also restrained by Executive Director Kim and his men.
“时间差不多了哦,没有人要开门吗?5...4...3...2...1...我要来了哦!”
Yang Yi placed his hands on either side of the carriage door, his fingers easily sinking into the steel door frame as if inserting tofu. The metal in his hands seemed like putty, slowly deforming with his movements and emitting a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound.
Inside the carriage, the passengers who had been holding the door tightly against it lost their balance as the door frame twisted, and fell to the ground together, with screams rising and falling.
Executive Director Kim, who had already shielded everyone in front of him, turned deathly pale with fright. His legs gave way, and he collapsed into his seat. He never imagined that this seemingly sturdy carriage door could be so easily ripped off.
Is this still a fucking human being?
Yang Yi clapped his hands as if he had done something insignificant. He looked around at the terrified crowd in the carriage and grinned: "Now, the door is open. Now we should have a proper talk."
"Door...door, how is this possible?" One of the people who had been pinned down couldn't believe what had just happened.
"Hi," Yang Yi squatted down to greet him, then pointed to the deformed carriage door beside him and said, "Hey, Uncle, are you worried about the door? Don't worry, I'll close it when I leave."
Chapter 19 You only know you're about to die
Inside the carriage, the originally "lively" atmosphere turned into an eerie silence after Yang Yi kicked open the car door.
"Jin-hee!" Rong-guo spotted Jin Jin-hee, who was being held in a corner with tears still on her face. He rushed over excitedly, but was stopped by several nervous passengers.
"Don't come any closer! You...you might already be infected!" a middle-aged man wearing glasses shouted, his voice trembling with fear.
"Oppa!" When Kim Jin-hee saw Young-guk, she struggled to break free from the hand covering her mouth and ran towards him.
Seeing this, Yang Yi gently waved his hand, and an invisible force pushed aside the people around Jin Zhenxi. Then, with a pull, a gentle breeze brought her to Rongguo's side.
“Rongguo… Waaah…” Jin Zhenxi threw herself into Rongguo’s arms and hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she let go.
“It’s alright…it’s alright…” Rongguo gently patted Jin Zhenxi’s back, his voice trembling and his eyes reddening.
The joy of being reunited after the ordeal made the two temporarily forget everything around them.
At this moment, the others in carriage 15, after a brief moment of panic, all focused their attention on Yang Yi.
The dark red heavy armor, the ferocious claws on the left hand, and the terrifying power with which he had just torn open the car door with his bare hands filled them with both fear and curiosity.
"What...what is this? A secret weapon of the government?"
"Could it be that the army has come to rescue us?"
"Looks like...we're saved!"
Whispers spread through the carriage, and the way people looked at Yang Yi gradually changed from fear to expectation, and even... dependence.
After all, in such a desperate moment, any glimmer of hope will be magnified infinitely.
However, Yang Yi remained standing in place, without saying a word, simply watching them quietly.
As time ticked by, the atmosphere inside the carriage changed once again.
What began as awe and anticipation gradually turned into doubt, unease, and even anger.
“Hey, you… soldier kid? Why aren’t you saying anything?” A middle-aged woman who had fallen to the ground earlier asked impatiently.
Her voice was soft, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet carriage.
Seeing that Yang Yi didn't react, she seemed to grow bolder, and her voice rose a few decibels: "Um...we are all taxpayers, shouldn't your army...protect our safety?"
“That’s right, we pay so much tax every year just for this time of year,” another middle-aged man chimed in, his tone utterly matter-of-fact.
As more and more people spoke up, what began as whispers turned into a noisy discussion.
Some people even directly targeted Yang Yi.
"Hey! Are you deaf? Can't you hear us talking to you?"
"Young people these days are getting more and more rude! They don't understand any manners at all!"
"Exactly! They have absolutely no respect for their seniors! I really don't know how they even joined the army!"
Some people started to act superior because of their age, putting on airs of seniority and pointing fingers at Yang Yi, their words full of dissatisfaction and accusation.
Executive Director Kim, who had been so frightened that he was slumped in his seat, now seemed like a completely different person.
He straightened his tie, cleared his throat, and said in a condescending tone, "Young people, I know you work hard, but it's your duty! The safety of us taxpayers depends on you!"
