"He's here!"

Seeing two dots of light, Henry recognized the headlights of the bus.

He arrived, becoming the last thought in Henry's mind.

Boom—

The unique sound of Lucas' sniper rifle echoed...

A torso without an upper body and head flew several meters before landing on the ground.

The cold road was stained with a red mist of blood.

—

Lucas watched this scene from the window, the anger in his heart still not released.

"They all have to die!"

Gritting his teeth, Lucas glanced at the mute woman with torn clothes beside him.

"Mute woman, kill the people ahead."

After Lucas finished speaking, he returned to the driver's seat and personally controlled the bus.

At this time, Henry's bodyguards had already started shouting, and amidst the chaos, they finally saw the bus emerging from the darkness.

The light from the two sets of headlights was already shining on their faces.

"Open fire!"

The soldiers, illuminated by the light, finally regained their senses.

Bang Bang Bang—

Gunfire erupted, and sparks kept splattering on the bus's body.

Screech—

The high-speed bus suddenly came to a stop.

Clang Clang Clang—

A cluster of firepower caused explosions of fire all over the bus.

Amidst the gunshots, the rear of the bus fell down.

Without turning on the silencer, the roar of a motorcycle engine resounded.

In the flickering darkness, the figure of the mute woman on a motorcycle appeared amidst the hail of bullets.

The motorcycle was fast, coupled with the dark environment, it almost closed in on the crowd shooting in the blink of an eye.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Dual blades danced, leaving blood and flesh in their wake, a bloody spectacle.

The sound of ordinary bullets hitting the mute woman's body was almost the same as the sound of hitting the bus.

Only when an occasional hand grenade was thrown, the mute woman would make some evasive movements.

To her, the explosion of the hand grenade couldn't harm her at all, just like the motorcycle, both were shells made of red insect exoskeleton. Ordinary weapons only felt like a scrape to the mute woman and the motorcycle.

Lucas didn't hesitate to give the mute woman the order to kill all these people.

If it were someone else in the previous barrage, they would probably have turned to ashes by now.

Thinking of this, Lucas's anger was hard to quell.

After the mute woman began her massacre on the motorcycle, there were far fewer people shooting and throwing grenades at the bus.

Lucas walked to the window, opened a slit, and extended his sniper rifle.

In the scope, Lucas began searching for Matteo.

Although Lucas didn't know Matteo's name, the presence of these heavy weapons vehicles here proved that their commander must be here as well.

Fire and smoke filled the air.

For a while, Lucas couldn't find Matteo anywhere.

Boom—

The sound of the sniper rifle occasionally rang out, followed by a car being destroyed.

The people temporarily alive in the vehicles would be finished off by the mute woman charging in.

As time passed, the gunfire became less and less. Apart from the various heavy weapons that Lucas hadn't destroyed, there weren't many people left standing in this heavy weapons army.

It seemed that escaping was futile.

The motorcycle maneuvered everywhere, continuously harvesting lives.

Cries filled the air.

These well-trained soldiers, facing the mute woman implanted with various combat skills, were not much different from ordinary people.

[Mission Update: Ensure the safety of the people protected by the army and safely escort them to the Phoenix Mountain Doomsday Fortress.]

As Lucas watched the mute woman wreak havoc, feeling somewhat relieved, he suddenly heard the voice of the system.

"Mission update?"

"What kind of people are those civilians?"

Upon hearing the words from the system, Lucas furrowed his brow again.

At this moment, Lucas remembered the words of the woman who had come to find him multiple times.

Mushroom-flavored milk, experimental facilities—these words once again appeared in Lucas' mind.

And also, the fact that they were resistant to infection unless directly bitten by zombies or torn apart by insects.

Because of the system's emphasis, Lucas, for the first time, had the desire to understand these things.

No one wanted the apocalypse to continue indefinitely, and Lucas was no exception.

If these people had the potential to bring an end to the apocalypse, Lucas didn't mind getting involved.

"Mute woman, hold off on killing those in the sports cars and missile launchers for now."

Lowering his head, Lucas whispered to his chest and gave the mute woman new instructions.

Then, Lucas aimed his sniper rifle at a soldier and instructed him to approach the bus and relay a message to the other soldiers to stop resisting.

When the mute woman returned to the side of the bus, all the gunfire ceased.

Lucas glanced around and saw that there were still a few military vehicles in the distance that hadn't moved, and the soldiers next to those vehicles were busy setting up makeshift defenses.

Without guessing, Lucas knew that the commander of this army was in one of those vehicles.

Instead of directly attacking the vehicles, Lucas began questioning the surviving soldiers about some things.

He ordered a soldier to bring everything from the car Henry was in.

Fortunately, Henry's bag containing his belongings was undamaged, and a stack of documents was found when Lucas searched through it.

After making sure the mute woman was watching the grouped soldiers, Lucas prepared to go through the documents.

Dada Dada—

Dada Dada—

Boom—

Just at that moment, Lucas heard gunshots and explosions coming from both the front and rear of the bus.

As Lucas looked up, he immediately heard the screeching sound emitted by the insects from their deformed mouths.

The insects were coming!

For a moment, Lucas had thought why there were no insects or zombies around despite the heavy shelling and commotion.

It seemed that his thoughts had summoned them!

Not long after hearing the sound, Lucas saw some zombies appearing near the military vehicles in the distance.

The soldiers had only fired a few shots when, illuminated by the surrounding flames, Lucas saw a huge figure land on one of the military vehicles.

The entire vehicle sank down.

Sizzle—

The sound of metal being cut rang out.

The front ends of two insect legs pierced into the roof of the vehicle, and after a brief cut, the roof was completely lifted off.

The vehicle's shell, specially made for military purposes, was as fragile as paper in front of the red insects.

The two insect legs pierced into the vehicle again and instantly lifted up.

A person who hadn't had time to get out of the car was impaled on them.

The two insect legs penetrated through his chest, completely piercing through.

Splurt—

After the two insect legs exerted force in opposite directions, the scene looked extremely gruesome.

In fact, this entire sequence of actions happened in the blink of an eye, even Lucas hadn't managed to raise his sniper rifle in time.

Bang, bang, bang—

After tearing apart the person, several more insects jumped onto the roofs of the other vehicles.

Seeing this scene, Lucas' pupils contracted, and as soon as he realized what was happening, he immediately released the drone that he had just retrieved.

"FUCK..."

"Fuck... These are the real hordes of insects!"

Lucas only glanced at the drone control panel and took a sharp breath.

In the night vision camera's view, there were swarms of insects and zombies covering the mountains and plains.

Wherever the fire hadn't reached, there was a dense presence of zombies and insects.

In front, behind, to the left, to the right—coming from all directions.

Their numbers were uncountable!
