This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 49

Zou Lang, pulling the driver, ran towards the bus. There were too many zombies, and they were quickly surrounded. He dared not stop, his axe swinging wildly in his hand, cutting down several zombies that had surrounded them, trying to rush towards the door of the bus.

At this time, outside the bus door, there were still some zombies that had not dispersed, with five or six zombies blocking the door.

“Ah, the zombies are coming! Don’t open the door!”

“Don’t open the door!”

“The zombies will come in!” A cry of alarm came from inside the bus.

Yu Jingtang ignored those people, pulled out the bus key, pressed the switch, and the bus door opened!

“Ah!” The passengers near the door all dodged back. They were so close that they could even see the faces of the zombies outside.

Yu Jingtang’s hand pulled at the top bar of the bus door, using it to kick down several zombies. Then he rushed off the bus, his hands moving like lightning, twisting the necks of two zombies. The circle of zombies at the door was suddenly broken open.

Zou Lang ran to the bus in a stride, then he reached out his hand and pulled the driver up.

Yu Jingtang saw that the two were safe on the bus, then he turned back and got on the bus, the bus door closing behind him again.

“Are you okay…” Yu Jingtang had just asked the question when he was hugged by Zou Lang.

Pressed against Zou Lang’s chest, Yu Jingtang felt the heat of his body, his rapid breathing, his frantic heartbeat.

Zou Lang held him for a few seconds, then patted his back and said, “I’m fine.”

“Your blood…” Yu Jingtang was eager to pull him away to check. The blood was bright red, not left by the zombies.

“It’s not mine,” Zou Lang let go of Yu Jingtang, his tone changing, “The driver was bitten.”

“Ah?!!” The surprise was not only from Yu Jingtang, but also from the passengers in the bus, who let out a cry of alarm.

Only then did everyone see the driver, who was in pain and curled up on the ground. The driver was missing a hand, his hand had been cut off from the wrist, and the pain had turned his face pale.

Zou Lang turned around, took off his coat, and firmly tied the driver’s wrist, explaining to Yu Jingtang, “He was bitten on the hand, I cut off his hand, quite quickly, there was only a few seconds in between.”

The current transmission route of the zombie virus was only through blood. Although there were precedents of those who were bitten and then immediately had their limbs cut off and survived, there was also a considerable proportion of people who became zombies even after amputation.

All of this could only be seen in terms of probability, conditions, the speed of blood flow, or rather, fate.

Hearing Zou Lang’s words, the crowd let out a terrified scream!

“He will become a zombie!”

“Get off the bus! Let him get off!”

The driver struggled to sit up, covering his severed hand, his face twitching, “I won’t become a zombie!”

The old lady said tremblingly, “This matter is not up to you to say, if you are infected, it will affect all of us on this bus.”

“This is my bus!” The driver’s eyes turned blood red. “I got off the bus to check for you! I have a wife, I have a daughter! Even if I become a zombie, I have the right to be on this bus! How can you…how can you…”

By the end of his speech, the driver began to sob. He was too careless, he thought it was just a child, he never thought it could be a mutated zombie. This zombie’s intelligence was obviously higher than that of ordinary zombies.

The fat man stood up again, “No! You still have to get off! Even if I don’t consider myself, I have to consider everyone on the bus! We can’t die for you!”

The short man sitting in the back row holding a child also stood up. The people woke up the child in his arms, he urgently comforted him, threatening words in his mouth, “If you don’t get off! We…we will not be polite to you!”

His words received some responses, and a few more young men stood up.

They had no ability to deal with zombies, but facing this driver who might turn into a zombie, they suddenly became fierce.

Zou Lang wiped the rainwater off his face and said, “Shut up! I will watch him, if he mutates, I will kill him!” He paused, turned back to look at the pitiful driver and said, “Regardless of whether he is infected now, if you let him get off now, you are asking him to die directly!”

The middle-aged man who looked like a leader stood up and said, “I say everyone, stop arguing, let’s vote.”

Silence, the bus fell into silence.

Everyone seemed to agree with this method to solve the current problem.

“Raise your hand if you want him to get off!” The fat man shouted, raising his hand high.

One, two, gradually more people raised their hands.

This was a medium-sized bus with 27 seats, and there were a total of 39 people on the bus.

Now, 25 people raised their hands, more than half.

Zou Lang turned around and looked at the driver.

The driver was already in tears, shivering there. He gritted his teeth and asked, “You people, if you were bitten, would you still want others to kick you off the bus?”

The fat man answered him, “If I were bitten, I wouldn’t want others to kick me off the bus, but this is just a hypothesis. I haven’t been bitten, now someone else has been bitten. I…I can only apologize.”

The driver’s face was distorted with pain, he grabbed the corner of Zou Lang’s clothes again, “Big brother, be a good person to the end, I don’t want to get off the bus, or…you kill me now. Be quick about it, I heard it doesn’t hurt much.”

Zou Lang was stiff for a moment, he had killed zombies, but he had never killed a person, never killed such a living person.

Yu Jingtang, who had been silent on the side, suddenly picked up his backpack and pulled Zou Lang, “Let’s go, we’ll get off the bus with him.”

The driver heard this, was slightly stunned, then suddenly knelt down, crying and began to kowtow to Yu Jingtang. “Thank you, thank you, whether I live or die today, whether I will become a zombie, I thank you…”

The fat man was a bit anxious, “Hey, hero, don’t go, if you guys get off the bus with this driver, who will protect us?”

Yu Jingtang said, “You are safe on the bus. As long as you survive this night, there will be rescue.”

Zou Lang looked at the people on the bus, started to pack up, and prepared to get off the bus.

“Wait…wait,” the female student wearing glasses in the back seat suddenly stood up, “I want to go with you, I am a doctor, I can help.”

Yu Jingtang didn’t expect this girl to be a doctor, having a doctor at this time was obviously very beneficial, he nodded and said, “Okay.”

The girl squeezed through the crowd all the way from the back row.

The boss also came out, “I also want to go with you. I can give you money, as long as you protect my safety.”

“No need, if you follow us, we will do our best to protect you.” Yu Jingtang said, “We are soldiers, not bodyguards.”

“Okay…okay.” The boss looked embarrassed, but still stood up and walked over to them.

“Is there anyone else who wants to come?” Zou Lang asked again, anyway, they had to rush down, there were only a few ordinary zombies below, whether they brought one person or two or three, if there were more people, it would be safer.

The passengers’ eyes looked down at the darkness under the bus, that was an unknown land full of zombies, comparatively speaking, the warm and bright bus cabin was much safer.

Silence again.

“Wait,” the fat man suddenly shouted.

Zou Lang frowned slightly, thinking he wanted to come along, and took a step forward.

The fat man felt a sense of pressure, swallowed his saliva, and extended a hand, “Leave the car keys to us.”

“We will give them to you after we get off the bus.” Yu Jingtang spoke up, then he looked at the people in the bus, these people were old, young, male, female, their occupations were different, their ages were different, but today, in this turbulent end of the world, they had to go out and get on this bus.

They were not bad people, nor could they be called 100% good people. If this driver was infected, then their choice, or rather the choice of most of them, saved their lives. If this driver was not infected, but died because of this, they would become indirect murderers.

They were just a mob.

“You did nothing wrong, and you don’t need to feel guilty, you just made a different choice, you don’t get off the bus, no matter what situation you encounter, don’t get off the bus, wait for rescue. As long as you survive this night, everything will get better.” Yu Jingtang finished speaking, extended his hand, his face serious, and heavily pressed the switch on the key.

The bus door slowly opened, it was completely dark outside, with the chill of the rain. This was already his third time opening the door tonight.

The first time he opened the door, it brought hope of survival to everyone; the second time he opened the door, Zou Lang brought back the driver, and now, the third time… they had to rush past these zombies and cross to a safe place.

Zou Lang rushed out first, his axe in his hand cut down several zombies, Yu Jingtang protected the driver, the female doctor, and the boss, and also got off the bus. The boss’s phone was in flashlight mode, shining brightly.

“Go, run to the lobby.” Zou Lang shouted. They started running towards the light.

Yu Jingtang turned around, took one last look inside the bus door, and threw the key in his hand out. The car key drew an arc in the air, and with a clang, it fell on the ground at the bus door.

The fat man hurriedly pounced on it without falling, knelt down and pressed the bus door.

The last thing Yun Jingtang saw was his fat, selfish, and terrified face.

It was just the face of an ordinary person, no different from the tens of thousands of faces one had brushed past in their lives.

The bus door closed in front of the five people, there was a closed, warm world, isolating them from the outside.
