Quickly wear the boss and don’t be cannon fodder

I just finished eating, and it's getting dark. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be sleeping on the highway tonight.

There are no cars coming and going now, so there's no danger even if you sleep on the side of the road.

On the contrary, it is the zombies or wild beasts that cannot be seen under the cover of night that are more worrying.

Su Yan set up sentry posts in four directions, with four groups of three people on duty, changing shifts every two hours.

Each group was positioned 100 meters away from where everyone was resting.

The two ends of the road are fine, but there are bushes on both sides, and players don't want to stand guard there, mainly because they are afraid of snakes, insects, and rodents inside.

Su Yan reminded him, "What are you afraid of? Just drive there and stand on the roof of the car to stand guard. That way you can see far from a high vantage point."

Moreover, Su Yan also provides each group of guards with a free spotlight, the kind of night light that fishermen love, which is strong and shines far.

The order in which people stood guard was arranged according to the order in which they parked.

Su Yan and Su Rui took the 2 AM to 4 AM shift. Nobody liked taking the shift at night. Even though zombies weren't ghosts, they still felt uneasy and couldn't help but overthink.

After all, Chinese people are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid of Chinese-style terror.

Su Rui didn't actually want to take the midnight shift, but Su Yan made the decision for her.

Back in the car, Su Rui quickly pressed the safety lock, not wanting to talk to anyone.

Su Yan scoffed and ignored her. For now, the two of them were just maintaining a superficial peace. Given the opportunity, they would definitely try to kill each other without hesitation.

Everyone knew the truth, so they stopped maintaining that false facade of peace.

They drove about 200 kilometers, and even if there were zombies, it would probably take them more than ten hours to walk to their camp.

However, some zombies can run fast, so guarding is necessary.

Su Rui hasn't used the faction summoning card yet; she's just waiting for the completion notification sound.

But it hasn't started playing yet. Why is that?

The faction chat was buzzing with activity, with everyone discussing how they evaded the zombie horde during the day and how they escaped through the city.

There were quite a few players like Su Yan who escaped to the highway. Later, as night fell, other players arrived at the place where Su Yan and his group had set up camp.

These people are allowed to pass after it has been confirmed that they are not zombies.

However, most of them chose to stay where they were and escape with Su Yan and the others.

As new people kept joining, Duo'er had a bad feeling.

She found Su Yan's tent, called out from outside, then unzipped it and looked somewhat embarrassed at Su Yan, who was wrapped up in a ball, and said, "Are you already asleep?"

Su Yan: "What is it?"

Duo'er: "Many more players have come. I'm worried that some of them might get hurt, or that some of them might have ill intentions."

Su Yan: "What's there to be afraid of? Everyone's sleeping in their own cars, and I see they're all chatting in the faction channel, so they're probably not asleep yet."

Duo'er: "But, what if something unexpected happens? I'm worried it won't be in time."

Su Yan: "I understand your concerns, but this is a survival game. I've said before that I need to be vigilant at all times. If I rely on others for everything, even if I don't die this time, I'm sure to die next time."

Duo'er: "But..."

Su Yan: "I have considered everything I can for everyone. The rest depends on everyone's own abilities."

Duo'er left somewhat disappointed, thinking that Su Yan would help her think of a better way to avoid these risks.

In reality, Su Yan has always been lazy. She could have lived a carefree life on her own, but the fact that she was able to act with the group this time showed that she was considering everyone's needs and taking responsibility for her role as the leader of the alliance.

In the past, let alone actively forming a group, she probably wouldn't even be known where she was after the dungeon ended.

Duo'er couldn't reach Su Yan, so she had to consult with other people.

Duo'er: "I'm still very worried, especially since visibility is poor at night. Although it's spacious here and easy to escape, I just have a bad feeling. My sixth sense is always very accurate."

I want to live another five hundred years: "What can we do? We can't just stay awake forever. How about I go with you to re-examine those new players?"

Passerby A: "I think it's feasible. The sooner we get checked, the sooner we can rest. We have to travel tomorrow."

At least there's still a car: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and check it one more time."

After discussing it, the squad leaders decided to check the newly joined players again, while reminding the guards to scan around constantly and not just focus on one spot.

The player on guard duty impatiently said he understood, but in his heart he was thinking, how could there be zombies at this distance? Why would those zombies follow the road for no reason? They must be going to places with lots of people.

But they never imagined that with a group of people here, the human touch would be stronger than elsewhere.

Zombies rely on their sense of smell; the scent of humans and their flesh and blood are the most attractive and instinctive driving force for them.

Duo'er and the others decided to re-check each of the new players. Some were very cooperative, while others hesitated and refused to open the car door.

Duo'er: "Open the car door. For everyone's safety, we need to check it. Please cooperate."

The other party, however, was worried that Duo'er and her group were planning to rob them, and refused to open the door no matter what.

Duo'er: "We meant no harm, we just wanted to check if you were injured."

The other party still refused to open the car door, which made Duo'er and the others angry.

Finally, I still wanted to live another five hundred years, so I said sternly, "If you don't cooperate with the inspection now, believe me, we'll push your car into a ravine."

With such a group of people, it's natural that some players have bulldozers or loader trucks, so taking one of their vehicles away wouldn't be difficult.

The other party had a grim face and had no choice but to get out of the car for inspection.

Duo'er, with her sharp eyes, noticed the bloodstains on him and exclaimed, "Are you injured?"

The other party quickly explained, "It was just an accidental scratch, it's nothing serious, it's already bandaged up."

Duo'er: "No, untie it and let us see. What if you were bitten by a zombie?"

The man lowered his head, his eyes filled with malice.

The moment he was shuffling to untie his bandages, a gun suddenly appeared in his hand, and he fired a shot at the nearest girl, Duo'er.

Fortunately, Duo'er had drawn the Golden Silk Armor in the dungeon beforehand, otherwise this shot could have killed her.

The others hurriedly hid, and the camp instantly descended into chaos.

The guards turned to look in the direction of the gunshots, unsure whether to continue their post or go back to see what had happened.

Su Yan was just about to fall asleep when she was woken up by gunshots.

999: "Someone refused to cooperate with the inspection and even killed someone with a gun."

Su Yan got up and left the tent.

Then they heard the roar of a car speeding towards them.

Luckily, Su Yan dodged it in time, otherwise she would have been knocked flying.

Duo'er also sent a voice message in the team channel: "Stop him, he may have been bitten by a zombie."

The other players were about to stop this person when they heard Su Yan's voice.

Su Yan: "Let him go, ignore him."

Why panic now? Don't lose your composure. As long as he hasn't hurt anyone yet, it's not worth disrupting their rhythm just to surround and intercept one person.

Those who were just about to drive after them were now caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to pursue or not.

Duo'er: "Why did you let him go? He almost killed me just now."

Su Yan: "Everyone needs to rest. Don't waste your energy chasing after one person, especially at night. Zombies could surround us at any time. We should rest as much as possible now and conserve our strength. Don't worry about that person. If there are zombies ahead, he might come back."

Making a huge fuss over one person is not worth it.

Su Rui sneered from the side, "No guts at all, cowardly and afraid of trouble. Of course, it doesn't matter since you didn't get hurt. I really feel sorry for that player who almost got killed."

Su Yan: "Stop trying to sow discord here, you member of the Hero Alliance. Believe me or not, I'll kick you out."

"Hmph." Su Rui turned around and went back to her car.
