Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

"I don't know whether it's right or wrong, but I still know that many things in this world cannot be simply viewed as right or wrong. Brother Xiao didn't beat the child to death. I can't say it's right or wrong, but I feel very warm in my heart, and there is a feeling of 'Ah, it's not wrong to follow this person out. He will never abandon me because of danger.' Therefore, even at this time, having 'humanity' and 'compassion' should never be equated with weakness. On the contrary, it is a precious quality. They may not allow us to survive, but they can prevent us from becoming something other than human." Some of the things she said were very naive, full of the gentle fantasies of the school girl about the world. "Besides, if we must do the 'right' thing, when Xiaoyan was injured, the most correct option was to give up on her, but none of us made this 'right' option."

These words are something that people who have been beaten by society and reality cannot say, but Chu Xiao felt much better when he heard this gentle and docile girl say such words. He had not expected to hear the girl's answer, but he never thought that he would be comforted by this gentle girl.

This was the first time that Chu Xiao had been alone with Su Muhe. Before this, he had never really understood this pretty and gentle girl. His biggest impression of her was just the extremely stereotyped impressions of "my sister's best friend", "the top student daughter of a big professor" and "very well developed".

Now he knew that Su Muhe was different from An Suxin, who was rational, decisive and hot-tempered. In adventures, she would never be a good partner because of her weak and quiet nature. But undoubtedly, she was the harbor that every man longed for.

……

It didn't take a long time to treat the wound. Due to the lack of medical equipment and sufficient time, the glass that was deeper had to wait until the hospital to treat it. But even in this incomplete state, Chu Xiao felt that his body was a lot more relaxed.

He tried to move his arm and found that the bandage did not affect his movements, and the pain in his back was not as severe. He couldn't help but sighed: "Su Su, you are amazing. You will definitely be a good doctor in the future."

——If this disaster had not happened.

"I didn't really want to be a doctor. I just followed the atmosphere at home and unknowingly started walking down this path." Su Muhe smiled gently, washed his hands, packed the medicines he had found, and walked towards the car with Chu Xiao.

Before leaving, the girl walked up to the little zombie and waved to the child she once was: "Goodbye."

(ps: The original plan was to write that the male protagonist accidentally killed a child due to extreme tension, but this plan might be too depressing, so I rejected it.)

Chapter 26 Video

Back in the car, An Suxin looked at Chu Xiao with a half-smile: "You're getting along well with the little beauty."

Hearing this, Su Muhe, who had a very tender skin, immediately blushed.

Chu Yan and Ruan Mengmeng who stayed in the car had already changed their clothes. Because it was a sportswear store, the girls all looked energetic, especially Ruan Mengmeng, who was wearing a black short-sleeved tights, a short thin jacket on the outside, and knee-length black tights on her legs, plus a pair of loose sports shorts. This outfit made the tall girl look slender and heroic.

As Chu Yan was not feeling well, she put on a set of loose and casual sportswear, hiding her exquisite figure in the baggy clothes.

Although Chu Xiao felt a little regretful that the beautiful scene in the car was gone, he couldn't help but feel a different kind of excitement when he thought that the girls had no underwear under their clothes and were essentially topless.

An Suxin handed the phone to Chu Xiao: "There is a video I think you should watch."

This was a live broadcast started by someone on his mobile phone. The location of the live broadcast was very familiar to Chu Xiao; it was on the cross-river bridge leaving the city.

The traffic jam in the video was extremely serious. From time to time, police officers were running to direct traffic and maintain order. Chu Xiao could hear the police officers shouting at the top of their lungs through the video. However, the effect was minimal. The chaos was still getting worse. Car accidents had occurred in many places, making the congestion even worse.

Many people have given up their vehicles and chosen to walk.

At this time, screams came from the back of the convoy. The camera quickly turned and saw countless black figures rushing towards the city in the darkness like a tide! There were so many zombies that they were almost innumerable!

The fleeing crowd immediately panicked and ran away quickly. Even though the police tried their best to stop the zombies, they were too few in number and it was just a drop in the bucket.

The host who was broadcasting the live broadcast hid in the car and continued the broadcast through the car window. From the rapid breathing coming through the camera, it can be heard that the host was also in fear at this moment.

The last shot of the live broadcast was a zombie smashing the windshield, with its hideous and bloodthirsty face reaching into the car.

Afterwards, the host's phone fell and the camera went black. Chu Xiao only heard screams and cries for help. However, everything stopped abruptly, leaving only the creepy chewing sound.

Next, An Suxin called up some other videos, some from local areas and some from other places, which were basically the same.

"From the videos, we can see that the main exits of Yuntai City are blocked. But this is also an opportunity for us. Most zombies have been attracted by the fleeing crowds, so the number of zombies we will face next will be relatively small." An Suxin said, "The most terrifying thing is that from these videos, our speculation during the day may come true. The whole country and even the whole world has become like this."

There was silence in the car for a while. Although people had guessed it, it was still hard to accept the facts when they were laid out before them.

The end of the world has really come.

"There is another video that you may be more interested in." An Suxin slid the screen of her mobile phone.

A very beautiful female police officer appeared on the screen. The background of the video was a shopping mall. From time to time, there were sounds of large vehicle engines and gunshots.

“I don’t know how many people can see this video. We are already building a shelter for survivors. The address is in the subtitles below this video. We have plenty of water, food, and enough defense to resist the zombies. People nearby who need shelter please go to this shelter immediately. If you cannot go there for some reason, please leave the address in the comment section and we will arrange for people to go to the rescue as soon as possible!”

The video was posted a few minutes ago, and dozens of messages for help have appeared in the comment section.

“Is it an official rescue?”

"Who knows? But it's probably impossible for private forces to build a shelter within a day after the disaster. Moreover, they are still thinking about rescuing the survivors." An Suxin had a blank expression on her face. She was used to the dark side of the world and said, "Tragic idealists."

Chu Xiao took a look at the location of the shelter, which was not far from the Qinghe Hospital where they were going.

"Do you want to go there?" he asked An Suxin, "Maybe we can really be rescued there."

"Rescued? After reading the information from all over the world, do you think I will still dream of being rescued?" She handed the decision to Chu Xiao, "You decide, after all, you are the leader now."

Want to go?

At this moment, Chu Xiao’s thought was to refuse.

He instinctively felt disgusted and repulsed by such gatherings. If he had to describe it, he felt like a wild animal that had finally returned to the wild, only to be locked in a cage again.

"I personally don't recommend joining." An Suxin glanced at Chu Xiao with a very cold expression. She looked at the video that was being played repeatedly, as if she had seen something dirty. "At a time like this, human nature is the least trustworthy thing. I will not place myself in a completely unfamiliar group, even if it was established by a group of idealists."

Because of her own experience, An Suxin instinctively thinks about human nature from the darkest perspective.

"Imagine this. Without the constraints of the law, moral standards will only decline to an infinite level. It is possible to be treated in any way. Powerful men will have the right to distribute resources, including clothes, food, water, and... women." An Suxin rolled her eyes at Chu Xiao, then glanced at the three girls in the back seat, "You don't want your woman to be taken away by others, right?"

"It's not... it may not turn out like that..." Su Muhe said softly. The girl who always lived in the light and warmth believed in the goodness of human nature. "Didn't Senior Sister Su Xin say that they were a group of 'idealists'?"

"Even if it doesn't happen now, it is very likely to happen in the future. The so-called morality itself is a byproduct of humans satisfying spiritual needs when there are sufficient resources for survival," said Chu Yan, not An Suxin. "When materials begin to be scarce and the pressure of survival increases, the moral standards of most people are unreliable. When fear and desire are combined, it is not surprising that people who lose their restraints will do anything."

Su Muhe pursed her lips, obviously remembering Feng Junnian's arrogant and crazy face in the sports warehouse.

Ruan Mengmeng didn't think much about it. She was a straightforward girl and knew that she was not good at using her brain. Using her brain was too tiring and not as direct as using her fists. Since Sister Yan said that the place was unreliable, she would not go. Anyway, she didn't like being bound by rules and regulations. It felt good to be with Brother Xiao and the others.

"Don't think about things that far ahead for now," Chu Xiao said, "We have to go to the hospital anyway. Whether to go to the shelter or not will depend on when we find Professor Su and his wife at the hospital."

He looked at his sister's apparently weak face - he had to get through this hurdle first...

Chu Xiao started the car and drove back into the rain. In the distance, a flash of lightning split the night sky, illuminating the shadow of a tall building in the distance. That was their destination, Qinghe Hospital.

At this moment, in the heavy rain, it looked extremely eerie and terrifying.

(ps: new copy is opening)

Chapter 27 Shooting

The rain gradually subsided, and a hint of brightness appeared in the distant sky. The first long night after the catastrophe was finally coming to an end.

Along the way, Chu Xiao did not encounter any zombie monsters under the cover of heavy rain, but instead encountered several waves of people fleeing. He encountered several people who were calling for help and asking for a ride, but Chu Xiao ignored them all. Some people even tried to stop the car physically, but were almost knocked away by Chu Xiao. Those people naturally cursed after Chu Xiao left, and even when sitting in the car, Chu Xiao could vaguely hear their cursing and crying.

But how could Chu Xiao stop the car?

Not to mention that there are only so many seats in the car. He is not a saint, let alone a superman. Now he is not even sure he can rescue his own sister, so how can he have the energy to save other unrelated people.

The building of Qinghe Hospital appeared vaguely not far away.

Qinghe Hospital is very famous in China. As a private hospital, it has a world-class medical team and strong financial resources. The Su couple, who are the helmsmen of this hospital, are not only experts and professors from well-known domestic universities, but have also won many awards internationally.

From Chu Xiao's perspective, he could already see the towering building of Qinghe Hospital. Next to it was a new building under construction, which was much taller than the old one. Chu Xiao remembered that when the new building was started, it made the headlines in Yuntai City. Even the city leaders came to support it, saying that it was another huge improvement in the city's medical level.

However, judging from the current situation, there is no chance that this new building will be completed and topped out.

Chu Xiao hadn't slept the entire night. He had been running for his life, fighting, and dealing with a large group of strange rats. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously exhausted both physically and mentally, but his body still seemed to be able to continue squeezing out strength.

A body that doesn't need rest is naturally very convenient at times like this, but Chu Xiao felt very uneasy. This feeling was like firewood that was burning desperately, and there was no telling when only ashes would be left.

——Before turning into ashes, at least...

All the girls in the car except Chu Yan had fallen asleep. They had been traveling all night and fell asleep unknowingly as the car bumped around.

"Don't you want to take a nap?" Chu Xiao looked at his sister's tired eyes in the rearview mirror and asked worriedly.

Chu Yan just shook her head, her smile was so beautiful that it seemed a little unreal: "I'm not sleepy, didn't I sleep for a long time before? But you, brother, haven't rested for a whole night, you are already considered tired driving."

"Don't worry, I'm not dozing off at the moment."

"Even at a time like this, you still have to pay attention to traffic safety. Remember this, brother." Chu Yan warned seriously, with some different emotions in her voice, "If I'm not here, who will remind you to pay attention?"

Traffic safety is a rather sensitive topic for the brother and sister because their parents died in a traffic accident. At that time, Chu Xiao had just entered college and Chu Yan was only in junior high school.

"Don't say such spoiling things," Chu Xiao consoled him. "Professor Su is an internationally renowned expert, and his wife is a big shot in virology. They will definitely find a way."

"Yeah, I believe in you, brother."

What she believed was not the famous Professor Su and his wife, but her own brother.

The hospital is located close to the city center, which is a densely populated area. After the disaster, it has almost become a hell on earth. In the darkness before dawn, staggering figures can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

"Watch out, we're speeding up!"

Chu Xiao reminded the girls in the car loudly, then stepped on the accelerator, and the black Mercedes-Benz G-Class rushed out with a "hum". The huge push back and the violent bumps immediately woke up the girls in the car. However, the girls in the car had already experienced a day of hell on earth, and their minds had gradually begun to adapt to the rules of this doomsday world. Even the most fragile Su Muhe did not make a panic sound.

The gradually dwindling rain could no longer serve as their cover. The zombies around them noticed the movement of the car and started running towards them, roaring. They soon formed a black torrent!

Chu Xiao kept accelerating, and the surrounding scenery kept flying backwards - this was no longer the time to worry about traffic safety! The black luxury car paid no attention to the obstacles around it, and it crashed into the unnecessary obstacles on the road in an almost reckless manner. In order to avoid the congestion caused by unmanned cars on the road, he even drove the car directly onto the green belt!

"If you drive like this, the insurance company will cry!" This wild attitude seemed to have infected the girls in the car. An Suxin grabbed the handle on the passenger seat with one hand to stabilize her body, looked at the crazy scene in the rearview mirror, and even managed to smile and joke.

"Oh! So refreshing!" Ruan Mengmeng's blood was boiling in this situation. If it weren't for her best friend restraining her reason, this girl would even want to open the window and howl at the zombies outside.

"Brother Xiao! Drive safely!" Only Su Muhe screamed, and the little girl's face turned pale. "I... I'm going to get carsick..."

At a time like this, there is no room for safe driving. Even if you step on the brakes even slightly, you might be overwhelmed by the tide of zombies behind you!

"Brother Xiao! Be careful up there!" Ruan Mengmeng suddenly reminded loudly.

Chu Xiao glanced at the buildings on both sides, and saw startled zombies appearing from the buildings on both sides! These zombies were fearless and jumped directly from the buildings! For a moment, as the car passed by, the zombies on the high-rise buildings on both sides fell like rain!

Chu Xiao had no way to dodge the "air attack" coming from the blind spot above and could only turn the steering wheel by feeling.

There was a loud bang and the entire roof of the car caved in - a zombie had hit the roof!

Su Muhe couldn't help but scream in fear. A zombie climbed from the roof to the front windshield, and its bloody hands left bloody marks! It roared and slammed its head against the car window, leaving cracks on the glass, and was about to rush into the car!

Chu Xiao turned the steering wheel sharply, trying to throw the zombie off, but the zombie clung to the roof of the car like a spider and could not be thrown off at all.

At the critical moment, An Suxin did not hesitate, pulled out his pistol, aimed at the zombie's head and shot it! At such a close distance, even if it was An Suxin's first time using a gun, it was impossible for him to miss!

With a gunshot, the zombie's head was immediately cut open and it fell off the car.

The first time Chu Xiao heard gunshots at close range, he felt a buzzing in his head and an explosion in his ears: "Are the crucial bullets used in such a place? There are only three bullets!"

"The more important something is, the less you should hesitate to use it." An Suxin put away the pistol. "Where else can I use it if I don't need it now? Should I keep it for myself?"

Chapter 28 Leap

There was a big hole in the windshield, and the rain was pouring into the car. The bloodstains remaining on the glass were quickly washed away by the rain.

Even though An Suxin fired decisively, the situation did not improve. More zombies were rushing out of the buildings on both sides of the road, and the black torrent became stronger and stronger. Even if you stayed in the car, you could seem to feel the vibration caused by the zombies running.

Due to the road conditions, the car could not be accelerated at all, and there was no way to shake off the tide of zombies behind with just one step on the accelerator.

Su Muhe took on the important task of pointing the way at this time. This was near her hospital, and no one knew the way here better than she did. The girl was under a lot of pressure at the moment. She had to point the right direction and avoid places where there might be congestion, otherwise if the cars stopped, everyone might be swallowed up by the zombies chasing after them!

"Have you figured out how to get rid of the 'army' behind us?" An Suxin asked loudly, "If you step on the brakes at this time, we will be caught up by the zombies behind us!"

"Take it one step at a time!" Chu Xiao responded loudly.

"...Turn left ahead! That's the hospital gate!" Su Muhe commanded nervously, "We're here!"

However, when Chu Xiao followed the girl's instructions and turned the car to the gate, Su Muhe's face immediately turned pale, because a very serious car accident had occurred at the main entrance of the hospital. A large tanker truck overturned in front of the gate, blocking the hospital gate tightly!

Chu Xiao had no choice but to step on the brakes urgently. Amid the loud braking sound, the car almost crashed into it.

"Ahhh, it's my fault!" Su Muhe grabbed her hair and almost cried out of self-blame. The zombies behind them were getting closer and closer, but there was no way forward for them.

"Su Su, it's not your fault." Chu Xiao comforted. Su Muhe was not a god, so how could he know in advance that a car accident would happen here?

"But...but..."

The zombies behind him were getting closer and closer, and the surging zombie tide was about to engulf Chu Xiao and his group in an instant. At this critical moment, Chu Xiao was surprisingly not panicking. Having experienced life and death many times, he had begun to adapt to this struggle of survival.

What he had experienced at school not long ago made him realize that the more desperate the situation was, the more he had to observe calmly and look for a glimmer of hope.

The road ahead is blocked and the zombies behind are approaching soon. Which way should I run?

Suddenly, Chu Xiao saw the construction building from the corner of his eye. The entire building had just been built, and there were dense scaffoldings outside. He looked at the dark entrance of the building and suddenly had an idea that was so bold that it was almost crazy!
