Standing by the window, Lucas watched as the overwhelming infected crow flock attacked the crowd entering the town. He took a deep drag of his cigarette.
"This mission is bound to fail, isn't it?"
"We've spent so much time..."
Lucas felt a sense of frustration at this moment.
If he had known they would encounter the infected crow flock, he would have abandoned these people and enjoyed his own time.
Snap, snap.
At this point, a few infected crows started crashing into a bus, but their numbers were not significant.
From the outside, it was impossible to see if there were any people inside the bus.
After Henry's military vehicle closed its curtains, only a few scattered infected crows collided with it.
Henry's military vehicle was bulletproof at his level.
Lucas' bus was fine, Henry's military vehicle was fine, but Cobras' vehicles suffered.
Both of their vehicles were ordinary without any cover, and they were quickly discovered by the infected crows, who launched a frenzy of attacks on the two vehicles.
The attack method of the infected crows was straightforward—they used their bodies to crash into the vehicles. Once someone was exposed in front of them, they would peck with their beaks.
Due to the infection, the crows' physical strength and hardness had greatly increased, and their speed and agility had also improved.
Seeing that Cobras' two vehicles had already been enveloped by the infected crow flock, Lucas shifted his gaze to the mute girl.
Under the current circumstances, it seemed that only the mute girl could go out without much risk.
Lucas directly gave the mute girl the command to deal with the infected crows.
Although the mute girl had a feminine appearance, Lucas had no sympathy for her.
Lucas didn't care about human lives, let alone a robot.
Besides, the mute girl's body was protected by the insect armor, so the chances of the infected crows harming her were minimal.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Three submachine guns and ten grenades were generously handed over to the mute girl by Lucas.
These things were obtained for free from Henry, and Lucas didn't mind.
The bus door opened and closed quickly.
Snap.
Lucas turned on the bus lights and pointed the front of the bus towards Cobras' vehicles.
A well-shaped figure directly charged towards Cobras' off-road vehicle.
Snap, snap.
The figure swung its left and right hands simultaneously, causing a flurry of infected crow feathers to scatter and fall to the ground.
With just these two moves, the mute girl stirred up trouble like poking a hornet's nest.
All the infected crows that were surrounding Cobras' vehicle changed their targets and adjusted their direction, crashing directly into the mute girl.
Bang, bang, bang.
The mute girl inserted a knife back into her back and pulled out a submachine gun, spraying the infected crow flock.
The infected crows' physical hardness was similar to that of ordinary zombies, and the submachine gun could inflict fatal damage on them.
However, as a result, all the infected crows that hadn't pounced on the people in the town were attracted by the bus's lights and the sound of the submachine gun. A swarm of infected crows descended upon the mute girl.
In a short period of time, Lucas lost sight of the well-shaped figure and could only see a large flock of infected crows surrounding the mute girl.
Gunshots continued to ring out, and the bodies of infected crows kept falling to the ground.
Lucas sighed.
The current situation could only be like this. It would be the best outcome if Cobras could survive.
As for the people in the town, Lucas couldn't be bothered to take a look.
He couldn't save the people in the town, even if he drove the bus in and tried to save a few.
The system mission was clear—it rewarded based on completion rate.
If this crowd were wiped out, there would be no damn reward!
In this situation, Lucas couldn't do much.
As for Cobras, they had made it clear that they would follow him.
In a situation where he was not in danger, Lucas would still save them.
The infected crows were attracted to the mute girl, so Lucas started the bus and slowly drove it next to Cobras' off-road vehicle and minivan.
Under Lucas' instructions, the two fugitives and the little boy quickly boarded the bus.
The infected dog crouched at the bus door and didn't get on. After all, the infected crows didn't attack it.
"This damn dog is quite sensible, knowing that everyone is a bit resistant to it. Quite self-aware."
Lucas glanced at the infected dog squatting by the door and muttered to himself.
"Boss, we've caused you a lot of trouble."
After Cobras boarded the bus, they felt a sense of relief and continuously bowed to Lucas.
Lucas waved his hand and turned to look at the mute girl outside the bus, giving her instructions to get on the bus.
At this point, the mission had already failed for Lucas, and he could leave.
After a few explosions from grenades, the mute girl rushed to the bus door and jumped on as soon as it opened.
Sure enough, apart from some infected crow blood and feathers on the mute girl's body, she had no injuries.
However, her tight-fitting clothes were slightly damaged.
The other fugitives couldn't help stealing glances at the mute girl, observing her appearance, except for Cobras.
Lucas found one of his own clothes and draped it over the mute girl.
In Lucas' mind, the mute girl was his personal belonging.
Snap, snap, snap—
The infected crows began to attack the bus fiercely, quickly enveloping the entire bus.
Cobras became panicked, standing in the middle of the bus aisle, afraid to approach the windows.
Seeing this scene, Lucas couldn't be bothered to say anything.
If the attacks from these infected crows could damage the bus, then they could abandon the bus.
Lucas turned off the headlights of the bus and leaned back in the driver's seat, playing some music.
He contemplated whether to leave immediately or wait until the infected crow flock dispersed.
In the distance, the battle in the small town was still intense, with the cries of the crowd continuing, although they were getting smaller and fewer.
Henry's military vehicle and the major's military vehicle were parked not far from the bus, with no infected crows attacking their vehicles. The people in the two vehicles looked at the bus, which was surrounded by infected crows, lost in thought.
Lucas didn't activate the bus's silent mode. Instead, he turned up the volume of the music.
Lucas felt that this was the last thing he could do for these people, to attract as many infected crows as possible to attack the bus.
The drone had already retreated when it detected the unfavorable situation. At this moment, Lucas couldn't see the situation outside the bus. All he could see was the frenzy of infected crows crashing into the bus. He didn't feel anything anymore.
With the mission failed, Lucas felt a sense of relief and started to seriously consider his next move.
