Crazy instructions!

Ceaseless gunfire echoed across the skies of A City.

A long convoy, like a dragon, moved through city streets packed with zombies.

The towering buildings on either side were as silent as a deep canyon, their long shadows enveloping half the convoy.

The roars of the zombies never ceased, and even Ping Chengcheng couldn’t help but feel her skin crawl.

There were simply too many zombies!

They exuded an aura of death.

The gunshots reverberated among the towering buildings of the city center, maintaining a ten-meter distance between the convoy and the zombies.

The Kamaz at the head of the convoy crushed every zombie in its path beneath its massive tires.

Military trucks and armored vehicles followed, grinding them into a bloody pulp, over and over!

The ten-meter gap between the convoy and the endless horde was like an absolute domain, separating them from the carnage!

Did it look easy?

It was only temporary!

So far, they had already expended nearly a hundred thousand rounds of ammunition.

The expedition had brought a total of 1.2 million rounds, which seemed plentiful, but in reality, an hour of continuous combat would deplete it completely!

It was hard to say if the remaining ammunition would even last another hour!

Right now, the zombies seemed endless; it was impossible to kill them all!

How many zombies were in this city?

A City had a high population density to begin with, easily able to produce a horde of hundreds of thousands.

After that Chimera Composite, there might even be millions now!

What could they do?

Ping Chengcheng’s brow was tightly furrowed.

At this rate, the entire convoy was bound to be worn down and destroyed in the horde.

Atop an armored vehicle, Ye Yin personally manned a heavy machine gun, roaring as he poured all his strength into gunning down every zombie that stood in their way!

But when he looked further ahead, he saw that the number of frenzied, roaring zombies had not diminished in the slightest.

They were like a furious tidal wave, surging toward the convoy, as if intending to overturn the armored vehicles with sheer numbers.

A sense of powerlessness washed over him.

Why had Ping Chengcheng given such an order?

The military supply depot was clearly in a mountainous area on the outskirts of A City.

Even if cutting through the urban center was a shortcut, the number of zombies here was overwhelming!

Countless zombies still trailed behind the convoy; even if they wanted to turn back now, it would be impossible!

What on earth was Ping Chengcheng thinking?

Did she have some other plan?

What was this all for?

Ye Yin gritted his teeth and looked back at Ping Chengcheng on the roof of the truck, only to see that her brow was also tightly furrowed.

In that moment, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Could it be… that the girl had no plan either?

But why did she order them into the city center?

Did she not know?

Impossible.

Although Ye Yin hadn’t been fond of this girl at first, after fighting alongside her for the past two days, her image in his mind had become a signal of safety.

Yes, Ping Chengcheng definitely had a plan.

She had to!

At this thought, Ye Yin’s spirits rose again.

Inside the Kamaz, Zheng Zhiyi sat in the passenger seat, having opened the side window to spray down every zombie she could see with a submachine gun!

But a growing sense of despair chilled her heart.

She could already see it: the horde was endless.

It seemed this time, they were all going to die here!

But her brother… she didn’t want to die!

Wu Sheng, who was driving the Kamaz, glanced at Zheng Zhiyi, seeming to read her thoughts.

“Don’t worry, we’ll be fine. We’ve got Ping Chengcheng with us.”

Zheng Zhiyi’s body stiffened, and she let out a miserable laugh.

“I really don’t know if that Ye Yin has lost his mind!”

“Driving into the A City urban center! Anyone could tell that’s a terrible idea!”

“As the second-in-command, how could he be so insane! And you!”

“No matter how capable Ping Chengcheng is, how can she possibly fight against so many zombies!?”

“We’re… we’re already doomed!”

“Hahahahahahahaha…!”

Zheng Zhiyi leaned limply against the car window, her eyes blurred as tears streamed down her face.

Aside from Ye Yin and Wu Sheng, an atmosphere of despair permeated the entire convoy.

They fell silent, mechanically killing zombies.

But they all knew this was merely delaying their deaths…

Even Song Ning looked at the girl with confusion.

Why did Ping Chengcheng insist on coming to the city center?

Could it be… that there was something in here, a reason she absolutely had to enter?

Just then, on the roof of the Kamaz, the tension in Ping Chengcheng’s brow suddenly eased.

Of course, she wouldn’t have entered A City without an ace up her sleeve.

After all, she had recently acquired the ability of the Sequence-60 Variant, the Brain Worm!

The Brain Worm’s neurotoxin could not only confuse humans but also had the effect of repelling zombies.

She had originally intended to keep this ability hidden, perhaps to secretly use it to seduce her sister or something.

It seemed now she had to use it ahead of schedule.

“Everyone, listen to my command.”

Ping Chengcheng took out her walkie-talkie, her voice cold and devoid of any emotion.

“Those with exoskeleton armor can use Biohazard Mode to remain outside.”

“Everyone else, seal all doors and windows on all vehicles! Do not leave the slightest gap in the military trucks or armored vehicles!”

“Now! Immediately! At once!”

As Ping Chengcheng’s command was relayed to all the squad leaders and the main team’s walkie-talkies, everyone in the convoy was utterly baffled and confused.

What did the operations commander mean by this?

Were they giving up?

“Ping Chengcheng… you! What is the meaning of this order?!”

Atop the armored vehicle, Ye Yin stared at the girl in disbelief.

Ping Chengcheng turned her head dismissively, her back to him.

“Listen to me, and you will live.”

Her words were like a powerful stimulant.

Despite the absurd nature of the command, it brought a sliver of peace to Ye Yin’s heart.

‘Whatever. It looks hopeless anyway. What’s the harm in listening to Ping Chengcheng!’

‘Then so be it… let’s carry out this insane order!’

“All personnel! Follow the command of the Operations Commander! All of you!”

What!?

It wasn’t just the operations commander who had gone mad; now the second-in-command was insane too!

“Are you crazy!? Our ammunition reserves can still hold out for a while longer, and you’re just giving up!?”

The voice of Wang Ji, the captain of the Emergency Strike Team, crackled from the walkie-talkie on the girl’s hip.

“Ping Chengcheng, I’m your squad captain. Stop this nonsense!”

The girl scoffed.

“Squad captain? But in this operation, I have the highest command authority! What, do you want to die right now? I can grant you that!”

As she spoke, the girl on the roof of the Kamaz turned, searching for the military truck that Wang Ji was in.

Ye Yin knew that Ping Chengcheng intended to use iron-fisted tactics to forcefully suppress them and compel them to obey.

After all, her command did sound completely insane!

Seemingly sensing the killing intent in her words and recalling her terrifying display when she killed the Tyrant earlier that day, Wang Ji’s voice faltered.

“Can I ask… why we have to do this?”

Ping Chengcheng chuckled lightly.

“You are not qualified to know.”

“You only need to understand that if you listen to me, you will live!”

“I am fully capable of leaving this place with my sister, completely unscathed!”

If this operation succeeded, would Lu Linyuan so easily hand over the advanced single-pilot mech he had promised?

Until there was absolutely no other choice, the girl would not let the convoy fend for itself.
