Certainly, the people in the yard must have turned into zombies!
Lucas immediately looked towards the yard.
Under the illumination of the emergency lights, a man named Thomas had already kicked another man beside a woman and raised his gun, pointing it at the man's head.
"Daisy, come here quickly!"
Thomas shouted loudly at the woman.
However, it was still a little too late.
The man who had been kicked just fell down, but in the blink of an eye, he crawled up from the ground.
The man's speed was much faster than an ordinary person. He reached out and grabbed the woman's hand.
With a strong pull, the woman's body leaned towards him.
The man swung his other hand, and the woman's neck immediately sprayed out a burst of blood.
Crack--
And at that moment, Thomas's gun finally went off.
The man, who had turned into a zombie, had a bloody hole in his forehead and fell down along with the woman.
"Daisy!"
Thomas took a step forward and grabbed the woman.
Crack--
At that moment, there was suddenly another gunshot, and blood splattered everywhere.
The woman's face was completely disfigured by another man who suddenly fired the gun.
"What are you doing!"
Thomas, covered in blood from the upper body, shouted loudly and turned around to kick the man who had fired the gun.
"Thomas, calm down!"
"Daisy has been injured and will soon turn into a zombie. If I didn't shoot, she would have bitten you!"
The man shouted at Thomas, feeling very aggrieved.
"Samuel is right..."
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
The man who was sitting one meter away from Thomas spoke up, but as soon as he started speaking, his voice suddenly changed. His words became stuttered, as if he couldn't get them out properly.
"Oliver has also turned into a zombie!"
Crack--
The man named Samuel, who had been kicked down by Thomas, directly fired a shot at Oliver.
Unfortunately, the shot missed.
When he wanted to fire a second shot, he suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes. His body was pulled by a tremendous force, and then he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
"Gur... gugu..."
Samuel made a strange sound in his throat, covering his neck with his hand. His eyes rolled, and suddenly, his whole body turned pale.
Crack--, crack-crack--, crack--
Thomas fired several shots without hesitation, killing the two men.
From the moment the woman named Daisy started screaming until only Thomas was left, it took about a minute.
"Hehe, I'm going to turn into a zombie too..."
"I refuse to accept it..."
Thomas's body swayed as he spoke, aiming the gun at his own temple and closing his eyes.
Crack--
The gunshot rang out.
The burly figure also fell to the ground.
The yard instantly became quiet again.
Unexplainably, Lucas felt a sense of compassion in his heart.
In the past eleven years, Lucas, who had witnessed life and death countless times, now felt his own heart trembling...
There was still a little over an hour until the purification mushrooms' effect would wear off.
Lucas lost his appetite for instant noodles, took off his oxygen mask, and got off the bus.
He quickly ran to where the five people had been and looked at their corpses, shaking his head. He stooped down and turned off the emergency lights.
That's how it is in the apocalypse; life is very cheap.
Lucas's state of mind had calmed down. He picked up three handguns and three police batons from the ground.
Lucas knew that the five people who had just died were definitely not police officers. They must have picked up these things in the chaos.
After putting the guns and batons back in the bus, Lucas walked up to the iron gate.
Outside the iron gate, three motorcycles were parked quietly, and Lucas estimated that their engines were still warm.
A panel popped out, and Lucas looked at the red blank blueprint on it, getting an idea in his mind.
He quickly started drawing on the blueprint with his finger.
After half an hour, a cool-looking motorcycle appeared on the blueprint.
Lucas clicked "confirm," and the blueprint began to refresh.
In the blink of an eye, a motorcycle appeared on the blueprint that was much more standard than what Lucas had drawn.
The motorcycle was covered in green plus signs, and then a few lines of text appeared on the side of the blueprint.
"Is it okay to exchange three handguns and three motorcycles for a red-grade motorcycle?"
Without looking at the materials list that had just appeared on the blueprint, Lucas directly asked the system if it was feasible.
【Materials are sufficient. Manifesting immediately.】
After the system finished speaking, Lucas suddenly felt a blur in his eyes.
A few seconds later, a pitch-black motorcycle appeared in front of Lucas.
Lucas opened the introduction of this motorcycle on the panel.
【Alloy Motorcycle】
Horsepower: 500 HP, Top Speed: 560 km/h, Equipped with a silent function super engine, color-changing alloy fiber body, 300% reduced energy consumption.
The motorcycle that Lucas drew with his finger was a high-end model from this period, with some minor adjustments in appearance and functionality.
Overall, Lucas was quite satisfied with the motorcycle.
The only downside was that the motorcycle couldn't be upgraded.
Lucas considered this an effective use of the resources at hand. It wasn't a rash decision to create a motorcycle.
When Lucas saw the three motorcycles, he immediately thought of their practicality in the apocalypse.
The bus was too large in size and often inconvenient in many situations.
For Lucas, he viewed the bus as a mobile safe haven.
But motorcycles, as a means of transportation, had many advantages over the bus.
Places where the bus couldn't go were generally accessible by motorcycles.
While the bus was fine in the wilderness, motorcycles were much more convenient in urban environments.
Lucas started the motorcycle, activated the silent function, and rode around the yard, feeling great.
With the motorcycle, Lucas would have much higher mobility in his daily activities.
Lucas named the motorcycle "Demon Blade" and also gave the bus the name "Barbarian King."
These two words were something deeply ingrained in Lucas's memory, serving as his commemoration of certain things from before the apocalypse.
Checking the time, there was still an hour left until the purification mushroom's effect would wear off.
Lucas admired the motorcycle, walked to the corpses of the five people, and moved them next to the pile of intestines outside the yard.
In the apocalypse, Lucas generally wouldn't waste energy burying bodies. After seeing countless human and other creature corpses everywhere, he had become numb to it.
After moving the bodies, Lucas returned to the bus to rest.
He planned to wait until the purification mushroom's effect had dissipated and then cut it down before it withered, storing it as food.
【Optional Mission: Find the cause of abnormal infected dogs. Reward: One red capsule.】
Just as Lucas sat down and lit a cigarette, before he had a chance to take a sip of water, the system issued another mission.
