At this moment, it was necessary to stay calm.

Lucas took a large bite of the energy chocolate he had taken from the small box on the dashboard and chewed on it.

One bite of chocolate, one sip of the energy drink, his eyes carefully scanning the map on the control panel.

For the two insects on top of the bus, Lucas felt temporarily powerless.

"Hmm, a height-restricted road?"

The map on the panel was detailed, and Lucas noticed a height-restricted road about 500 meters away.

The bus had a height of 3.5 meters, while the height restriction was 3.3 meters.

It exceeded by 20 centimeters...

At that moment, a bright idea struck Lucas's mind, thinking of a solution to deal with the two insects on top of the bus.

Quickly accessing the bus's floor plan, Lucas directly looked at the position of the bus tires.

There was a green "+" symbol at the tire's location, which Lucas vaguely remembered as something insignificant.

The function of this "+" symbol was that the bus tires could be inflated or deflated at any time.

At this moment, Lucas thought that the deflation function could be of great use.

After checking the data, Lucas got the answer he was looking for.

When the bus tires were completely deflated, the entire vehicle would shorten by 25 centimeters, allowing it to pass through the height-restricted road.

This way, not only could the bus pass through, but more importantly, this method could be used to get the two insects off the roof of the bus.

Although the hardness of the insects' exoskeleton was unknown, it was certainly much stronger than that of the height-restricted road.

A head-on collision with the height-restricted road would undoubtedly destroy it.

But Lucas only wanted to drive the insects away from the roof and didn't plan to kill them.

Furthermore, the bus itself was not afraid of the height-restricted road.

However, it would cause some damage to the exterior, and Lucas didn't want to incur such losses.

Without wasting any time, Lucas immediately consumed a portion of the insect exoskeleton he had saved and exchanged it with the system, directly adding the tire inflation and deflation function.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

At this point, the system reported that the damage to the bus's exterior had decreased slightly, reaching 5%.

"These damn insects just won't stop!"

Lucas complained, then sat in the driver's seat.

Spraying water, the windshield wipers started moving, washing away the blood on the windshield.

At this moment, Lucas turned on the headlights of the bus, as it didn't make much difference in the current situation whether they were on or off.

Turning on the lights would actually gather the insects around the bus more quickly, which would conveniently allow him to shoot them later.

As soon as the headlights were turned on, Lucas took a glance and felt like he was in hell.

Zombies kept rushing towards the bus, one after another.

No!

Perhaps it should be said that they were coming in waves.

Numerous pale white eyeballs, in groups, staring at the bus's headlights.

At the same time, they also noticed Lucas.

A uniform and eerie sound came from their throats.

At that moment, Lucas felt like his flesh was laid bare to the pale white eyeballs, as if he was a piece of meat waiting for these creatures to feast upon in their bizarre postures.

Snap— The freshly washed windshield turned blood-red again.

Thick, dark red, viscous blood had accumulated in a thick layer where the windshield wipers couldn't reach, estimated to be seven to eight centimeters thick.

Lucas watched the blood flowing down the edges of the windshield, feeling inexplicably anxious.

Snap—

The zombies kept crashing into the front of the bus.

"Alright, let's keep playing!"

As time went on, Lucas became somewhat numb to the fear.

Through gritted teeth, Lucas muttered a sentence and picked up the saw made from insect legs.

Carefully, he opened a small section of the side window of the driver's cabin. Lucas held the saw made from insect legs with both hands and extended it outside the window.

Bang—

Bang bang—

The saw made from insect legs, extended out of the window, began its harvest of the zombies, incredibly sharp.

Under the speed of the bus, the left side of the bus quickly cleared, and a bloodbath ensued behind.

Lucas increased the speed of the windshield wipers to the maximum, ensuring his visibility.

Soon, Lucas passed the initial destination set for the bus.

Once he crossed the intersection, Lucas retracted the saw made from insect legs and took over driving the bus himself.

The tires of the bus also began to slowly deflate.

While listening to the continuous cutting sound coming from the roof, Lucas's gaze became increasingly calm.

The sniper rifle was already in position within reach.

Once the two insects were driven off the bus's roof, Lucas would immediately open the window and start shooting.

According to the map, Lucas only needed to pass through the height-restricted road and make a right turn at the next intersection to head towards Henry and his group.

This entire distance was approximately four kilometers.

In other words, if Lucas couldn't kill the remaining thirty-plus insects within four kilometers, he would have to turn back before reaching four kilometers, maybe even three kilometers.

In any case, he had to eliminate all the insects so that Henry's army could join in the zombie killing.

Although the minimum reward for this mission was a red capsule, Lucas believed that given the current circumstances, the reward would be generous as long as there were no casualties in the group.

200 meters...

150 meters...

80 meters...

Lucas had already pressed the accelerator to the maximum!

Clang—

Just when there were 50 meters left until the height-restricted road, Lucas felt the entire bus suddenly sink, indicating that the tires had been fully deflated. There was only a thin layer of film between the wheel hub and the cement road in the industrial park, separated by the tire rubber.

Crack—

Dang—

The vehicle experienced violent vibrations.

The roof emitted sharp, piercing cries from the insects, which gradually faded away.

Lucas instantly felt like the bus had become lighter.

Two insects and one dead insect should have been knocked off the roof.

Snap—

Lucas turned his head and looked through the metal sunroof in the middle of the bus.

The forelimb of the insect that had been hanging there fell onto the bus floor.

Lucas's intuition was correct.

Several insects had been knocked off the roof by the height-restricted road.

One insect leg remained.

Lucas relaxed his furrowed brow slightly.

He immediately set a destination for the bus's autopilot on his watch, then stood up, grabbed the sniper rifle, and leaned over to the right side of the front window. He quickly attached a powerful flashlight to the sniper rifle and opened the window.

Boom—

As soon as the window opened, Lucas followed the beam of the flashlight with his gaze and fired a shot.

Slightly adjusting the aim.

Boom—

Another shot rang out.

Snap—

Immediately after, the sound of a handgun followed.

A zombie that lunged forward was directly shot in the head.

Boom—

Snap—

Lucas fired another shot and quickly closed the window. He released his grip, and the sniper rifle fell to the ground.

So much time had passed.

Lucas fired a dozen or twenty more shots, but his body couldn't handle it anymore, trembling slightly.

Using the sniper rifle now felt like consuming himself for Lucas.

After firing three consecutive shots, Lucas not only felt his body trembling but also felt his internal organs churning.

"What a battle of wits, endurance, and physical strength!"

Lucas sighed in his mind, constantly spraying pain relief spray on his own arm.
