"Axi!"
Bang!
In Busan, at the temporary combat command center, a gray-haired, strong general slammed his fist on the table to vent his dissatisfaction.
Several other well-dressed staff generals also looked at the international news on the monitor with uncertain expressions.
They have obviously tried their best to suppress the zombie virus outbreak in the country and described the zombie outbreaks in various places as violent protests, but neighboring countries and their neighbors' neighbors have deployed heavy troops on the border.
All communication channels such as air routes and sea routes have been cut off.
In other words, these high-ranking and powerful people were not allowed to fly out on a special plane and were forced to stay in Nanhan and defend Busan.
“Who spread the news?”
The footage of the fallen train that Cheng Long uploaded to the mainland has spread to every corner of the world, and senior officials at the Busan Temporary Command Center were naturally able to see it.
"There were so many people on the train, and they fell so quickly. Who knows who it is? Maybe they are already dead."
"Asshole, you're still trying to stir up trouble before you die."
"This is a big problem. Many chaebols' private planes are stranded and in urgent need of rescue..."
Nanhan has been covering up the truth, mainly to stabilize public opinion and the emotions of the people so that the chaebols and powerful people can evacuate.
Once these people are flown to a safe place on a special plane, the truth will be revealed to the public.
But now the truth has been revealed in advance, resulting in the closure of the route. Even if you take off early, you will not be able to land when you reach your destination and can only fly back in disgrace.
Of course, the ones who were forced to fly back were mainly because their status was not good enough and it was not worth the trouble of their host countries to grant them asylum...
"When the disaster broke out, we had already lost a lot of manpower. Combat battalions in East Daegu, Cheonan, Daejeon and other places were wiped out. If we continue to send people to rescue the chaebols, then there will inevitably be loopholes in Busan's overall defense." A senior chief of staff frowned.
Nanhan's national conditions are similar to those of Citibank, where the economy is controlled by chaebols. At other times, these trapped people would never be abandoned.
But the current crisis is a disaster that affects the entire country. Those top generals and chiefs of staff who are fortunate enough to enter the safe zone must make plans for the future.
"Then give them up!"
The general who had smashed the table in anger before said coldly: "Seoul is about to fall completely. The army we control must be responsible for the people. Instead of sending elite troops to rescue these parasites, it is better to collect more supplies during the chaos and prepare for the next battle."
"Save yourself before saving others. If we can't even guarantee the safety of Busan, then even if we send people to rescue those people, we won't have anywhere to put them."
"Seconded!"
"..."
The generals of the Busan Temporary Command Center finally did not lose their minds and sent elite troops to various places to rescue people.
It’s not that they are brave enough to abandon the children of chaebols and the families of the wealthy and powerful, but the zombie virus broke out too quickly and Busan has become the last safe haven.
If Busan fell, they would only be able to build shelters to house the scattered survivors.
By then, the peninsula will become a zombie paradise.
……
KTX train.
In carriage No. 3, Shi Yu, Jin Changchang and other survivors who had gained temporary safety called their relatives one after another. The result was that some were happy while others were sad.
Many numbers dialed by the survivors could not be connected, which meant that their family members had either turned into zombies or were on the run.
Shi Yu learned from his subordinate Agent Jin that Daejeon Station had not yet fallen and that a battalion was carrying out a mission at the station, and he immediately felt relieved.
General Manager Jin, who works at a bus company, also learned the specific situation in Daejeon City through secret information from his colleagues.
After the two hung up the phone, they leaned back in their chairs to relax their tense nerves.
At the same time, in carriage No. 4.
Before the train arrived at Datian Station, Cheng Long kindly advised: "Shengjing, if you believe me, don't get off the train at Datian Station. It has already fallen, and it will be dangerous for you to get off."
"Daejeon Station fell too? So quickly?"
Shengjing and Yin Shanghua frowned.
How come so many cities have fallen in just a few hours?
What about the police and the soldiers?
"This is the evil consequence of the upper echelons concealing the news..."
Cheng Long looked down on Nanhan's disaster response measures. It was obvious that the problem could have been solved if they had raised their vigilance from the beginning, but they had to wait until it got out of control before taking it seriously.
But by the time the situation got out of control, infected people appeared everywhere, and the epidemic quickly broke out on a large scale, it was too late.
"Mr. Cheng, you seem to know a lot. Are you an agent?" Sheng Jing asked curiously.
"No, I'm just a passer-by." Cheng Long shook his head and casually added an identity to himself. It didn't matter anyway.
"Even if you are a traveler, you are also an agent on vacation. I don't believe ordinary people can have the same state of mind as you..." Yin Shanghua admires Cheng Long's calmness and composure in the face of difficulties. He has both strength and wisdom.
Ordinary people like this are so rare!
"We're almost at Daejeon Station."
Cheng Long looked at the train that was beginning to slow down, and secretly used his spiritual sense to whisper a warning into the ears of all the survivors.
[Daejeon Station has fallen. Don’t get off the train if you don’t want to die…]
The sudden words strangely appeared in the ears of all the survivors, causing everyone who was preparing to stop in their tracks.
……
Car No. 14.
"Hey, did you hear any sound just now?"
"Yes, they said Daejeon Station had been occupied and told us not to get off the train."
"So you guys heard it too. I thought I was the only one!"
"Then let's stop for a while, do you want to get off?"
"First look at the situation, if everyone else goes down, then follow suit, if no one else goes down, then stay."
"Okay, it depends."
Most of the survivors in car No. 14 were young people with a strong ability to accept things. Rongguo, Zhenxi and others quickly reached a consensus.
However, the survivors in carriages 3 and 2 began to question the voices that appeared in their minds.
Especially after the train arrived at the station, the platform was so quiet that it was impossible to fall.
So, not long after the train stopped, Shi Yu, General Manager Jin and others tentatively walked out of the train. People tend to follow the crowd, and if there is a first person, there will be a second. Soon, the passengers in the safety cars 2, 3, 14, 15, etc. got off the train one after another.
However, General Manager Kim, who was among the train attendants, got off the train, not in a hurry to leave, but to look for the conductor. He selfishly wanted to unload the carriages, drive away the locomotive, and head straight to Busan.
Because he had received the news that Daejeon Expressway was closed, there were people demonstrating violently everywhere in the city, and only the south was temporarily open. The situation was very bad.
If you don't leave, it will be too late!
"No, no, if it's really as you said, then we have to take everyone away."
The train conductor was a very nice person with a high level of professionalism. He did not selfishly unload the carriages and run away alone just because of General Manager Jin's urging.
The female flight attendant Haiying said, "Manager Jin, if you don't want to leave, please get on the bus and wait. There may be zombies outside attacking at any time."
"Since you knew there were zombies, why did you come down here? Take me to the front of the train. If those people want to die, just ignore them. They will come back when they encounter danger..." Although the zombies in the carriage had been hacked to death and turned into piles of broken limbs and debris, General Manager Jin still felt that the closed front of the train was the safest.
In fact, as long as Cheng Long is there, the entire train is safe.
After all, he had cleared the zombies on the bus, and the remaining passengers would basically not be killed. However, with the line paralyzed, a collision might happen at any time.
Train No. 101 is not the only train that has been attacked by zombies!
……
Only Yin Shanghua and Shengjing and his wife listened to Cheng Long's kind advice. Everyone else eventually chose to get off at Daejeon Station, including Zhenxi, Rongguo and other students.
All the zombies in the station gathered in the square. The platforms, elevators, halls and other places were empty. This could easily give people the illusion that it was safe here and that there was no one because everyone had evacuated.
This made Cheng Long very helpless.
They all leave in such a hurry, as if they are rushing out to die!
"Mr. Cheng, it's very quiet outside. Are we really not going down?" Sheng Jing lay in front of the window and observed for a long time, but did not notice any danger, and his heart was inevitably shaken.
"As a pregnant woman, don't join in the fun. Be careful not to run too hard or the amniotic membrane will rupture and the amniotic fluid will leak out." Cheng Long's words were rough but his point was true. Sheng Jing in the movie ran faster than many men, but that was because the plot required it. No matter how fast a pregnant woman in real life runs, she can never be faster than an adult male.
"I'm a little worried and want to go out and take a look."
Yin Shanghua suddenly said.
He is feeling very uneasy now, always feeling that something big is going to happen soon.
"You can go, but you have to ensure safety. The child cannot be without a father."
"Yeah, I promise."
Yin Shanghua touched his wife's cheek affectionately, but just as he was about to get out of the car and go outside to investigate, Cheng Long suddenly handed him the Chengying sword.
"Use it for self-defense. This sword can cut through iron like mud. You can chop zombies at will."
"Thank you!"
Yin Shanghua took the Chengying sword and walked out without hesitation.
At this point, Cheng Long and Sheng Jing were the only two people left on the train, and there were corpses all over the ground.
"Would you like something to eat?"
Cheng Long took out two apples like a magic trick, which left Sheng Jing dumbfounded. She was sure that Cheng Long's sleeves could not fit such big apples, let alone two of them!
Then the problem is coming.
Since the apple didn’t come from the cuff, where did it come from?
Could it be the ring on the other person's finger?
"Mr. Cheng, how did you make this apple?"
Sheng Jing took an apple from Cheng Long's hand, examined it from top to bottom, and confirmed that it was a fresh, crisp, sweet red apple, and the curiosity in his eyes became even stronger.
"secret!"
Cheng Long smiled slightly and opened his mouth to take a bite.
Sweet and crispy, rich in juice and vitality.
It can quench your thirst and fill your stomach.
Although this apple is not a fairy fruit, it is also a magical fruit from the world of Kung Fu King. Cheng Long has collected a lot of magical fruits over the past hundred years, including tens of thousands of kilograms of apples, peaches, and grapes, which can be eaten as meals for several years.
"Mmm, so sweet and delicious..."
Sheng Jing took a light bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he instinctively speeded up his chewing.
However, before he could finish eating the apple, a commotion suddenly broke out in the quiet Daejeon Station, and the passengers who had entered the hall rushed back like crazy.
One person got off the elevator in such a hurry that he tumbled to the ground, breaking his head and bleeding. However, the others ignored him and stepped on his body to rush to the train...
"Hey, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and take your daughter down!"
In the hall, Yin Shanghua, holding the Chengying sword, was harvesting zombie heads like a god of death. Seeing Shi Yu's daughter Xiu'an in danger, he immediately rushed to rescue her and split the zombie rushing towards Xiu'an in half.
The Chengying sword can cut through iron like mud. Once a zombie is hit by it, it will be cut in half. It can be used as a sword without any problem.
No matter how ferocious the zombies are, they will have to kneel down when encountering such a magical weapon!
"Thank you, thank you..."
Looking at Yin Shanghua who was chopping zombies as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, Shi Yu swallowed, said thank you with difficulty, pulled his daughter and ran to the platform.
Yin Shanghua chopped down several zombies in succession and ran out.
He came here only to save people, not to kill zombies.
Since most of the people have been rescued, there is no need to fight on.
Because the zombies on the train had been cleared out in advance by Cheng Long, there was no tragic incident where the passengers panicked, opened the doors recklessly, and released a large number of zombies.
But the number of people who escaped alive was still only half of those who left.
If you don't listen to good people, you will suffer the consequences.
This is what happens.
When the train started again, the zombies that were frantically banging on the door disappeared from sight.
Rong Guo, who witnessed a baseball team member having his neck bitten off by a zombie, finally couldn't contain his inner fear and collapsed on the ground, crying.
"Rongguo, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself."
Jinxi patted Rongguo's shoulder, and her face also showed unspeakable sadness and panic.
After all, she and Rongguo are only 18-year-old students. They have experienced great changes one after another, and they have held on until now before collapsing, which is already worthy of praise.
"Stop crying and come with me to find a seat in carriage No. 4."
Yoon Sang-hwa shook off the blood on his sword and led Zhenxi, Rongguo, Shiyu, Xiuan, and another member of the baseball team from car number eight to car number four.
"Uncle, did you kill these people too?"
Looking at the body parts lying all over the ground, Zhenxi was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly, and her eyes were full of fear.
"I don't have that much ability. I just ran to the hall to save you and killed more than twenty zombies. I'm exhausted." Yin Shanghua was self-aware. Even if he held a sword that could cut through iron like mud, he didn't have the confidence to clear the entire train of zombies.
There are hundreds of people!
Even if he is a wrestler, he can't do it!
Mr. Cheng is simply a pervert.
"What about these on the ground?"
"Mr. Cheng killed him. He was in carriage number four. My wife was also there..."
After chatting all the way, the group soon arrived at carriage number four. Shengjing, who had been waiting anxiously, was immediately delighted to see the man coming back safe and sound.
"Shanghua, eat an apple."
Sheng Jing smiled and handed over the remaining half of the apple.
Yin Shanghua didn't show any disgust at all. He took the apple and stuffed it into his mouth, finishing it in three bites.
Afterwards, Yin Shanghua turned to look at Cheng Long, respectfully presented the Chengying Sword, and said reluctantly: "Mr. Cheng, your sword..."
"Keep it, I still have some." Cheng Long smiled. (End of this chapter)
