The feeling of suffocation quickly arrived, but Bai Ye didn't panic. Instead, he drew the military knife from his calf and stabbed it towards the opponent's neck.
With a *poof*!
Like the sound of rotten cloth being torn apart.
Blood instantly spurted from the opponent's neck, splashing outwards. The hands gripping Bai Ye's throat involuntarily loosened.
Bai Ye immediately raised his rifle and smashed the butt of the gun into the opponent's head, knocking them away. He then got up from the ground, stepped on the person's chest, and aimed the gun at the woman's head, firing several shots that blew her head apart.
The remaining two appeared very angry, charging towards Bai Ye from the left and right.
But before they could get close, Bai Ye raised his gun.
*Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk*…
As Bai Ye pulled the trigger, bullets poured forward, forcing them back.
"Come on!" Bai Ye shouted, "If you want to kill me, come!"
The two used the tables around them as cover, scurried away rapidly, and then leaped, hiding behind the metal counter.
Bai Ye sneered, loaded a grenade into the grenade launcher.
*Boom*!
The next moment, the grenade traced an arc, hitting the front of the metal counter, causing a huge explosion.
Flames erupted, turning into a massive fireball, incredibly scorching.
Layers of heat waves pushed outwards, and as they washed over, a burnt smell could be detected.
Bai Ye unloaded the magazine, reloaded, and strode forward.
But at this moment, two figures suddenly darted out from the side of the counter, pushed open a metal door, and quickly entered the restaurant's back kitchen.
Bai Ye pursued relentlessly. He reached the door and kicked it open with all his might.
A strong scent of blood instantly hit him, and then Bai Ye couldn't help but be stunned.
In the restaurant's back kitchen, two chairs were placed, with a man and a woman zombie tied to them with steel wire. The ground was covered with a large amount of碎骨 (suì gǔ - broken bones) and碎肉 (suì ròu - minced meat), and the dried blood had stained the floor a bright red.
The two zombies, seeing Bai Ye enter, their originally vacant eyes instantly showed ferocity. They struggled, seemingly trying to break free from the wire and pounce on Bai Ye, whimpering from their throats.
Bai Ye frowned, looking at the faces of the two zombies. They were both elderly, at least sixty or seventy years old. He suddenly understood something.
This was a family!
The parents had become zombies, but for some reason, their child, although infected, had survived due to mutation. Then, that child had tied their zombie parents here, even resorting to capturing living people to feed them.
In this way, the voice from the broadcast was explained.
It was a trap. The person used the radio to send out broadcasts, luring people here, and then making them food for their parents.
It seemed quite touching.
But…
What did it have to do with him!
Bai Ye suddenly raised his gun, aimed at one of the zombies' heads, and said, "Do you love your parents very much? Then come out, or I'll blow their heads off."
After speaking, Bai Ye scanned the area again.
"You don't have much time to think. I'll count to three…" The next moment, Bai Ye grinned and said, "Three!"
*Bang*!
The gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew from the muzzle, piercing the temple of one of the zombies.
Almost instantly, the zombie stopped whimpering, its head tilted to the side, and it fell silent.
"Sorry!" Bai Ye shrugged, "I forgot to count one and two."
As Bai Ye spoke, he aimed his gun at the other zombie's head.
"Don't worry!" Bai Ye said, "This time, I won't forget to count."
The two men could no longer endure it. One leaped out from behind the stove and lunged towards Bai Ye. The other opened a large oven, and another man rushed out, running on all fours like a beast, opening his mouth to bite at Bai Ye's ankle.
Then…
*Poof*!
The Ning Shuang Sword flew out like a silver light, hitting the man who was lunging, striking his forehead, piercing his head directly, and severing half of his skull.
Bai Ye immediately turned and swept his leg, kicking the other man's head and sending him flying. Before the man could get up, Bai Ye had already aimed his gun at him.
*Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk*…
As Bai Ye pulled the trigger and fired, the man's body convulsed. Bullets struck nearby metal objects, scattering golden sparks and making "ding-ding-dang-dang" sounds.
A moment later, when Bai Ye finished firing, the man lay in a pool of blood, completely lifeless.
Bai Ye reloaded his bullets, stepped over the broken bones, and returned to the last zombie. Then…
He raised his gun and fired!
*Bang*!
A bloody hole burst open in the zombie's forehead, and it fell backward, chair and all.
Having finished, Bai Ye turned and left the back kitchen, planning to return to the supermarket to search for more food.
Although he probably wouldn't find gasoline, finding food and drink seemed pretty good.
But as Bai Ye returned to the restaurant…
"Save, save me… whoever it is… please save me…"
Bai Ye stopped and looked at the wireless radio beside him. A plea for help was coming from inside.
But, so what?
Probably another unfortunate soul tricked by the broadcast. He just didn't know if they were a chosen one like himself, or a native of the World Battlefield.
Bai Ye had no interest in this. He just paused for a moment and intended to move on.
"I'm on Highway 404, not far from Red Rock Mountain. I have a military green jeep next to me. Please, help me. I'm seriously injured and can't drive to the gathering point…"
Bai Ye immediately stopped again!
A jeep? And it can be driven?
Alright, whether there was a jeep or not wasn't important, whether the car could be driven wasn't important either, and whether the person had gasoline was even less important.
What was important was that he was kind-hearted, morally superior, and eager to help. He absolutely couldn't stand seeing others in trouble and would never stand by and do nothing.
Bai Ye walked to the wireless radio, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Hello, can you hear me?"
The voice instantly became agitated, shouting, "Yes, yes, I can hear you. Sir, please save me. I'm eternally grateful."
Bai Ye said, "I will save you, but I don't have enough gasoline to make a round trip. Therefore, you'll need to wait a while. I need to go and collect gasoline, and then I'll come back to rescue you."
