Chapter 48: Following Closely

  In front of the government building in the city center.

  Soldiers carrying submachine guns, wearing camouflage uniforms patrolling in front of the building, on top of the high-rise building, there are snipers using binoculars to observe the movements within a radius of ten miles. Once a zombie wanders over, they will immediately use the intercom to notify headquarters and dispatch a team of soldiers to go and kill them!

  On the flat glass window outside the building, three words were written in bright red paint: Life Saving Station!

  In the early days of the disaster, most first-tier cities had such life-saving stations. These life-saving stations were equipped with medical equipment, air transport supplies, food, ammunition and other necessities. Every day, soldiers would be responsible for patrolling them.

  Lin Chao stood on the roof of a dilapidated car in the desolate street, gazing at the distant lifesaving station building. His enhanced vision allowed him to easily penetrate the countless dust particles in the air and see the three blood-red characters on the building ten miles away.

  He glanced unintentionally at the top of the building, his pupils like a precise telescope, quickly locking onto several figures that only showed half of their heads, which should be several sentries. He turned back to the little girl and Ye Fei: "You go, straight ahead, it's the lifeguard station."

  Yefei was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Lin Chao in surprise, saying: "Aren't you going?"

  Lin Chao shook his head and said, "We have other places to go."

  "Where are you going?" Yefei asked again.

  Lin Chao glanced at her and said, "What's it to you?"

  Yefei was stunned for a moment, then said: "You... don't you know why it's so dangerous? There are monsters like this everywhere. Even if you don't care about your own life, at least think of your two sisters!"

  Fan Xiangyu smiled and said, "We're good, you guys hurry up and leave, don't drag your feet. We've already brought you here, that's already the most we can do." She instinctively feared human gathering places and couldn't wait for Lin Chao to leave immediately.

  Yue Fei fell silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Lin Chao and said: "If you're not going, I won't go either. Take me with you, I want to learn from you how to kill these monsters. With my identity, even if I went to the rescue station, I would be assigned to the soldier squad as a substitute, and would eventually die in one of the many external rescue operations."

  Lin Chaoping calmly said: "You don't like saving people?"

  Yue Fei lightly bit her red lips and said, "Those who can't save others will only harm themselves. If I had the ability to obtain food like you do, they wouldn't be killing each other, my mother wouldn't have died, it's all because of me... So, I've thought about it, I want to live a good life, work hard to become stronger, and one day, I'll wipe out these monsters from the earth!"

  Lin Chao was somewhat surprised, didn't expect her to wake up on her own, he smiled faintly and said: "Since that's the case, you should go to the rescue station even more, they can protect you."

  Yue Fei's cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "Although I don't know how to say it, but I feel safer when I'm by your side."

  Fan Xiangyu said with a smile: "A woman's sixth sense is really accurate, I don't dare say anything else, but one thing is certain, this devil will definitely live longer than others."

  Lin Chao glared at her with a bad temper and said, "No one takes you for a mute."

  Fan Xiangyu immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

  Lin Chao looked at Ye Fei and said, "I have no obligation to bring along a burden like you. I advise you to go to the lifeguard station obediently. If you follow me, I won't give you any protection. Do you understand?"

  Yefei's face was slightly pale, and she bit her teeth lightly, saying: "I won't drag you down."

  Lin Chao didn't want to bother anymore, turned around and pulled Lin Shi Yu's small hand, saying: "Let's go."

  "You..." Ye Fei stomped her foot in anger, never expecting that what she said would be so humble, yet this young man still didn't appreciate it.

  The little girl hastily said: "Big brother, let me follow you."

  Lin Chao didn't even turn his head and said, "No way."

  The little girl's eyes welled up with tears as she watched the three of them walk away, and suddenly a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes. In her opinion, Lin Chao must have wanted to get rid of them, so he made up a lie about a lifesaving station.

  Buzz!

  Just then, a small truck suddenly came speeding from afar.

  Yefei turned around and immediately saw that the people on the vehicle were all wearing camouflage uniforms. She stroked the little girl's hair and comforted her, saying: "You go with them to the rescue station, take good care of yourself."

  The little girl did not expect that there would really be soldiers coming to support her, and her face flushed with excitement, completely ignoring what Yefei said.

  Yefei saw that the truck was approaching quickly and didn't have time to say anything else, so she immediately turned her head and chased after Lin Chao and the other three in the direction they had left.

  The truck arrived quickly, and several soldiers on the vehicle were surprised to see a little girl. One middle-aged soldier jumped off the truck and asked, "Little sister, weren't there several people here just now?" He had received news from the sentry that there were several survivors here, but now only one little girl was left. Had he arrived too late? Had those people been eaten by monsters or run to hide elsewhere?

  The little girl saw the gun in his hand and immediately felt a sense of security. She subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly thought of something and shook her head, saying: "I'm the only one here."

  The middle-aged veteran looked at her suspiciously, but thinking that such a small girl shouldn't be lying, maybe the sentry was seeing things, he gently picked her up and took her to the truck, saying: "Little sister, let's go, I'll take you to the rescue point, you must be starving."

  The little girl nodded heavily.

  The truck roared and turned around, speeding towards the lifesaving station. The little girl stood in the carriage, looking back at the direction where Lin Chao and others were leaving, with a hint of resentment in her eyes. Her small hands tightly grasped the handrail of the carriage, silently saying: "It's all because of you, my mother would have died, you should all die, deserve to die!"

  ……

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Lin Chao and three others crossed the main street, encountering ordinary zombies along the way. Lin Chao easily beheaded them with a single axe swing, without slowing down for even half a second.

  "You humans are really stupid, setting up rescue stations and getting so many soldiers killed every day, just to save a few ordinary people, what's the point?" Fan Xiangyu said boredly along the way.

  "Who says the ones being rescued are ordinary people?" Lin Chao said indifferently. "This rescue station is only established in first-tier cities, mainly to rescue the elite personnel within these cities, such as some scientists and relatives of military personnel. These are the priority for rescue, followed by ordinary people."

  "I said so, it's really selfish." Fan Xiangyu suddenly realized.

  Lin Chaoran said calmly: "This isn't selfishness. If it were you, would you save your own family member or an ordinary person with no relation to you?"

  Fan Xiangyu was speechless for a moment.

  Lin Chaodan said indifferently, "Moreover, ordinary people in the life-saving station, most men are conscripted into the army, while women are sent to the rear reserve area to do some sewing, washing and other work, only then can they get food. Now is an extraordinary period, do you think it's free to support them?"

  "Does this little girl have to work too?" Fan Xiangyu looked at him.

  Lin Chaodao: "Of course, although it will be a hard life, at least we are alive."

  Fan Xiangyu and Lin Shiyu nodded, they didn't think deeply about what "hardship" meant in Lin Chao's words.

  In the later generations, to survive in a gathering place, a 12-year-old girl like this has already had seven or eight abortions. Long-term experience makes them understand all the methods that make men happy at a very young age, and they are slaves lower than labor slaves. Although it is now in the early stages, the order has not collapsed completely, but as time passes, these ordinary people will find it harder and harder to survive.

  This is a silent and gradual change, until they truly become the remnants of doomsday, forgetting what is called life pursuit, forgetting what is called the meaning of living, and will not ask for any quality of life, nor will they commit suicide because of a little melancholy, frustration, or pain, but just numbly exist.

  "Huh?" Fang Xiangyu suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "That female police officer seems to be chasing after us, I can smell her scent."

  Lin Chao had smelled it earlier and quickened his pace, saying coldly: "Get rid of it."

  ……

  No holy mother, no brain damage. The protagonist's character setting is not to blindly save people, but will still help those in need as long as it doesn't harm himself. This is the most ideal post-apocalyptic protagonist personality. The mother and daughter's setting was that they were dead, and their death was deserved, but the reason for their death, Lao Gu had thought about it, but didn't write it down, so everyone felt they were very innocent. If I re-wrote to make them "evil", it wouldn't feel right, so I made some slight adjustments to the plot, but the overall direction of the story remains unchanged.
