Chapter 86.3: Cannon Fodder In The Post-Apocalyptic World (15)

 

Gu MingYue never had the intention of being a self-sacrificing heroine or saint, and sacrificing herself to ensure the safety of everyone. She wouldn’t be able to make peace with the idea of dying until she witnessed the completion of the mission. But currently, she was the only one in the team who had the ability to contend with the zombies or was on par with them in terms of physical resilience. However, even if her limbs were severed and her internal organs crushed, she would still be able to regenerate, and this trait of hers was what made her determined to take the risk.

If everything went according to plan, even if she couldn’t survive, as long as the fate of the others unfolded in the direction she guided, she would consider the mission accomplished.

This was a valuable insight that Gu MingYue had gained from previous mission worlds.

But now, it was more worthwhile to lure the zombies away than sit here and wait for the group to fully recover from their injuries and regain their formidable strength. However, how could a human’s recovery rate compare to that of the zombies? The evolved beings, who had consumed the strength of their counterparts, would soon regenerate to their original state. By then, the members of the survivor group would still be in a state of exhaustion and injury, and there was a risk of being wiped out here, resulting in a failed mission.

And now, except for Xi Wei and the three ordinary women who didn’t engage in combat, among everyone currently present, Gu MingYue possessed the best condition judging from her complexion.

Not entering hell would be equivalent to mission failure, while entering hell would give a chance for the mission to be completed successfully. The choice was clear.

However, she almost forgot about that one person…

Standing by the door, the woman who had grown taller and more reliable in the eyes of the others slowly raised her hand. Her gaze hesitated for a moment before smoothly pointing her finger towards Jing Yao, and with her voice asserting, she said, “I do need an assistant, Jing Yao should join me.”

In the original plot, five of Xi Wei’s men had established a sexual relationship with her, while Lui RuiCheng, principled and reserved, belonged to the gentlemanly type who didn’t indulge in such activities. Gu MingYue felt relatively assured when it came to him.

Jing Yao, however……

It would be better to keep the biggest variable with her, just in case. Therefore, bringing the man along would also help eliminate the threat he posed to the mission’s completion.

“Jing Yao and I will lure the zombies away while you go to the base and seek reinforcements,” Gu Mingyue stated calmly, as if she were merely going out for a leisurely walk with a friend on a sunny day, instead of facing flesh-eating monsters.

Jing Yao furrowed his brow, suspecting that this woman might have an ulterior motive. He was just about to refuse when another person voiced their objection loudly.

“I’ll go with you!” Gao Jing spat out a mouthful of blood, his words tinged with determination. “My abilities can both defend and attack, making me more suitable than Jing Yao.”

What he actually wanted to convey was that with the assistance of his combat-oriented abilities, Gu Ming Yue would have a better chance of success. Plus, he did not know if this woman had any intentions of sacrificing herself along with the zombies, but he would never allow such a situation to occur.

Meanwhile, it was a well-known fact that Jing Yao disliked Gu MingYue, so he might not stop her from sacrificing herself if the situation went bad.

Jing Yao nodded his head in agreement as he had no intention of providing cover for the woman. In fact, it suited his preference to stay in the vehicle and protect Xi Wei. He was about to voice his stance once again, but someone else beat him to it.

“Jing Yao’s ability is much more suitable for providing cover for MingYue,” Xi Wei said as he handed the appropriate recovery potion to Jing Yao. Concern filled his clear eyes. As someone who couldn’t engage in combat, the only thing he possessed was good judgment. During critical moments, Jing Yao’s ability was more life-saving than Gao Jing’s ability.

Gu MingYue’s plan was undoubtedly the most effective method currently available.

Xi Wei’s words effectively silenced any further objections from Jing Yao, and he tightly held the potion bottle in his pale fingertips while closing his eyes and nodding in agreement.

Gu MingYue silently praised Xiwei for his divine assistance in her mind. However, there was no time to make a more detailed plan; success or failure hinged on this critical moment. She adjusted her mindset and firmly pulled Jing Yao, whose inner world was crumbling, off the bus.

“Hurry to the survivor case and request support.”

Engage, attack, run…

Gu MingYue couldn’t help but sweat profusely. Fortunately, the intelligence of the evolved zombies was not yet on par with humans. When faced with both food and threats, their beastly nature compelled them to eliminate the threat first before enjoying their meal.

The sound of wind echoed in her ears as she outpaced Jing Yao by a significant margin. If it weren’t for Jing Yao continuously concealing himself with his barrier, he would have become a quick snack for the zombies1.
