Huang Liang stood up, his legs trembling, so he pounded them a few times. Then he took out the crumpled cigarette pack from his pocket and pulled out the last Baisa cigarette.
He put it in his mouth and then took out the fifty-cent lighter.
Click! Click!
Puff!
A flame ignited, and Huang Liang brought the cigarette close, lit it, and took a deep drag, as if it were the last cigarette he would ever smoke in this world.
After a few seconds, Huang Liang exhaled the smoke that had filled his lungs.
"My wife said that if she sees me smoking like this again, she won't let me into the house!"
Huang Liang chuckled.
"On the day of the apocalypse, I called my wife, but all I heard was a busy signal. I wanted to go home, but I didn't dare. I told myself it was because of the Silver Horse's ban, and if I went out, I would be eliminated."
Xiang Wen and Ge Nian remained silent.
Puff!
Huang Liang took another drag on the cigarette: "Actually, that was just an excuse. When I saw those wandering monsters outside, my courage vanished. I admit, I'm afraid of death."
"But these past few days, I've thought it through. Where can I hide? The world is in such a mess. If I don't seize this opportunity, I'll really be dead.
"Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well take a chance. Besides, the hardest part of the job, Sun Yuan has already done for us."
After saying this, Huang Liang handed the cigarette to Xian Wen and ran quickly to the Land Rover, starting the car.
The spore people running out of the supermarket were already scattered, with only a few left. This was clearly the last of them.
"Damn it, let's go!"
Xian Wen took a deep drag on the cigarette and then ran to the Land Rover.
"Hey!"
Ge Nian sighed and followed.
Why did Sun Yuan assign Huang Liang the task of blocking the door?
Besides being a good driver, Huang Liang was a rational and intelligent person. Sun Yuan had been observing these people since he met them.
Huang Liang was afraid of death, but he could overcome this fear. Every time Sun Yuan moved, Huang Liang was not the fastest to follow, but he was definitely the least hesitant.
Moreover, he always observed every action and choice Sun Yuan made, actively learning because he wanted to survive.
This showed that he had a strong will to live.
Such a rational person, given the opportunity, would definitely not miss it.
Sun Yuan had made the right bet.
The Land Rover started and drove towards the warehouse.
...
"Sun Yuan is here!"
Jiang Tao, who was standing at the warehouse door monitoring the enemy, immediately shouted and ran to the window when she heard the deafening footsteps.
"Quick! Quick! Quick!"
Qin De shouted, urging everyone to evacuate.
Before the plan was put into action, Sun Yuan had already told them to cause destruction while looking for light shelves to build an escape route at the window.
Fortunately, since this was a warehouse, they found two forklift ladders and placed them under the four-meter-high window early on.
"Quick! Quick!"
Jiang Shudan, a responsible teacher, ran to the ladder but didn't climb up first. Instead, she waited for the students to go up.
"Aren't you wasting time?"
Qin De shouted, at a time like this, every person who gets up counts!
Forget it, when the situation gets urgent, don't blame me for pushing you down.
After kicking over a box of shampoo, Qin De saw Sun Yuan run in.
"Captain!"
Qin De shouted, turned, and ran to the window. He didn't need to look back; the footsteps told him that many spore people were coming.
Sun Yuan rushed into the warehouse, took the Speed Mushroom out of his mouth, and shouted "Run!" The hardest part of the plan was complete, and this mushroom could be saved.
He quickly glanced around; the goods weren't very full, but a big fire would be enough.
At this moment, the air smelled of beer, flower water, and some perfume. Unfortunately, there was no liquor, which would have burned faster.
Boom!
The spore people surged into the warehouse like a flood, running so fast they couldn't stop and crashed into the shelves, falling to the ground. They didn't care, getting up and continuing to sprint.
Sun Yuan saw the pile of broken beer bottles and the large puddles of alcohol on the ground. He pulled out his rattlesnake revolver and fired at the ground.
Bang!
The gunshot echoed in the warehouse.
The bullet hit the alcohol-soaked ground but didn't ignite it.
"What the hell? Is this stuff not flammable?"
Sun Yuan frowned, but there was no time to think. He immediately followed the smell and ran to the flower water.
This has a lot of alcohol, it must be flammable.
"Captain, I'll set it on fire!"
Qin De was capable and had already prepared several rags soaked in flower water. He now lit them with a lighter and threw them out.
"Great job!"
Sun Yuan praised, then ran to the stack of flower water boxes, swung his explosive bat, and smashed them.
Bang!
In the explosion, the boxes flew, the flower water bottles shattered, and the sparks and heat ignited the liquid, spreading more flames.
They fell to the ground like fireflies in midsummer.
Boom!
A sea of fire suddenly formed.
Fortunately, Sun Yuan ran fast, or he would have been burned.
"Sun... Sun Yuan actually has a gun?"
Jiang Tao, who had already climbed to the window, was shocked and frightened by the gunshot.
Most ordinary people are law-abiding citizens. If they see someone with a gun who isn't a police officer, their first reaction is to call the police.
"What time is this? Worrying about this?"
Jiang Shudan complained: "Jump down!"
"B... But it's too high!"
Jiang Tao was afraid.
"If you don't jump, I'll push you!"
Jiang Shudan growled.
Sun Yuan's agility was so high that even though he was farther from the window than Qin De, he still arrived first. He leaped, stepped on the forklift ladder, and jumped up to the four-meter-high ventilation window.
Ah!
Jiang Tao screamed in fright.
She was pushed down by Sun Yuan. As she saw the ground approaching quickly, thinking she would be smashed, someone grabbed her dress from behind.
Rip!
Summer dresses are thin and couldn't support Jiang Tao's weight, so they tore.
"What are you thinking?"
Sun Yuan scolded, then let go.
Slap!
Jiang Tao fell to the ground, but with Sun Yuan's pull, she wasn't injured.
"Give me your hand!"
Sun Yuan saw Jiang Shudan still climbing the ladder, couldn't wait, and reached out, grabbing her and pulling her up.
Bang!
Jiang Shudan lost her balance and crashed into Sun Yuan.
Indeed, it was big and comfortable.
Sun Yuan didn't let go of Jiang Shudan but pulled her and threw her out the window, landing her outside the warehouse.
"Qin De, get in the car yourself, remember to kick the forklift ladder away."
On the other side of the warehouse window, about a meter away, was a five-meter-high wall. Sun Yuan said this, turned, and leaped, landing on the wall. He then turned again, jumped, grabbed the edge of the warehouse roof, climbed up, and ran across it.
At the entrance, a few spore people hadn't entered, but Huang Liang didn't dare wait. If Sun Yuan escaped, the spore people might lose their target and come out, ruining everything.
So Huang Liang stepped on the gas and charged forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The spore people were knocked over.
"Close the door first!"
Huang Liang opened the car door, rushed down to close the iron gate on the left side of the warehouse, while Xian Wen and Ge Nian ran to the right.
"Teacher, the spore people are coming!"
Xiang Wen was afraid.
"No choice, fight!"
Huang Liang shouted, then realized he had made a mistake. The spore people in the warehouse, hearing the noise, turned and looked at him.
Then they ran over.
"Damn!"
Huang Liang cursed, his scalp tingling.
Is today really the day I'm doomed?
At that moment, Sun Yuan descended from the sky, jumping down and kicking the iron gate.
Clang!
The iron gate closed, and a few spore people who were about to run out were knocked back.
"Go start the car!"
Sun Yuan growled, then ran to Xiang Wen's side and closed the other iron gate.
Huang Liang rushed to the Land Rover, didn't bother to close the door, shifted gears, and accelerated, crashing into the iron gate.
Clang!
Squeak!
The iron gate was almost destroyed.
"There's a forklift over there, drive it over!"
Sun Yuan urged, then pounced on the spore person running towards Huang Liang, smashing its head.
He estimated that a car's weight might not be enough to hold back the spore people.
Sigh!
If only he had gotten a driver's license during college.
To be honest, it was just a matter of being poor. Even though the driving school advertised a 50% discount for college students, 1,600 yuan was still too much for Sun Yuan.
But now, with no traffic police, even if he sped or hit someone, no one would care, right?
Huang Liang was quick and smart. He used the forklift to lift a Passat and pushed it in front of the warehouse gate.
"Bring a few more cars over!"
Sun Yuan ordered, taking care of the few spore people that had escaped.
Huang Liang didn't delay, but he didn't need to, as Qin De and Jiang Shudan had already driven over according to the plan.
Qin De, with his poor driving skills, crashed into the wall, but Jiang Shudan, with her skilled driving, didn't seem like a typical female driver.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Hearing the spore people wailing and pounding on the gate, unable to get out, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is... is it done?"
Xiang Wen panted, a hint of confidence gradually appearing on his face, feeling like he had accomplished something significant.
"Congratulations, everyone, you can start your free shopping spree!"
Sun Yuan joked.
"It's all thanks to Captain's well-planned strategy and excellent command!"
Qin De immediately flattered, the proper attitude of a top lackey.
"Good job!"
Sun Yuan encouraged.
"Hehe!"
Qin De knew he had passed the test and would now be on par with Xu Qingshan in the team.
"Teacher Huang, you took responsibility and did a great job!"
Sun Yuan gave a thumbs up.
"Haha, it's my duty!"
Huang Liang didn't take credit, and to be honest, if not for Sun Yuan's timely intervention, the plan would have failed.
"Let's go, to the free shopping, and enjoy a hearty meal."
Sun Yuan was starving.
"Let's go!"
Everyone was happy.
Ding!
