“Captain Zuo—” Before Du Yue finished speaking, Zuo Mingdong had already rushed to them. He grabbed He Xing’s clothes and looked at him from head to toe. After confirming that He Xing did not have any bloodstains or injuries, Zuo Mingdong finally felt relieved.

He pulled a long face and looked a little unhappy. “Are you two crazy?! There were so many people surrounding us just now, and everyone was holding a gun in their hands. How dare you get out of the car? Did you want to die? If the bulletproof vests couldn’t withstand the impact of the bullets, the two of you would’ve been live targets!”

Du Yue took off her mask and smiled brightly at Zuo Mingdong. “Don’t worry, Captain Zuo. He Xing and I are confident! If we weren’t completely confident, we wouldn’t have gotten out of the car.”

Although Zuo Mingdong understood this, he still could not help but worry. However, now that He Xing was fine, Zuo Mingdong did not nag anymore. Although Du Yue and He Xing were impulsive, if they had not rushed out to attract the firepower and killed most of the people, they would not have been able to leave unscathed.

Zuo Mingdong turned around and looked in the direction of the coal mine. “We’ve driven for more than ten hours. We can’t waste our time. No matter what, we have to bring the coal back. Those people can’t be left alive, or they’ll only become more and more arrogant in the future. Those who came later will probably be bullied.”

Du Yue was not as open-minded as Zuo Mingdong, but since the apocalypse, this was the first time she had fled in such a panic. Therefore, Du Yue simply could not take this lying down. She definitely could not take this loss for nothing. Of course, the most important thing was to bring the coal back.

If they brought back more coal, it would be enough for them to use for a while. In the future, they would not have to travel for more than ten hours.

Shen Teng also got out of the car and walked to their side. Although he did not say anything, he nodded heavily at He Xing and Du Yue, expressing that he wanted to move with them. There was no doubt about Zuo Mingdong’s skills. The people he brought with him were not just for show. Each of them had extraordinary combat strength.

In addition, Du Yue and He Xing were there. Although they did not have many people, their martial strength was not bad at all. The few of them gathered together and quickly came up with a countermeasure.

Just as Du Yue and the others were planning to counter-attack, a group of people got out of the cars outside the iron gate of the coal mine. The faces of these people were extremely ugly, especially after they saw their companions’ corpses. Their faces became even more ashen.

Other than anger, there was a lingering fear in their hearts. If they had been the ones sitting in the front seats, would they be dead by now? People died like how lights went out, so they naturally would not know anything. However, those who were lucky enough to escape would have to bear endless fear.

“They left only half an hour ago, so they’re probably still nearby. Should we chase after them? They’re unfamiliar with the place. We can just drive the car with the cannon and blast them into the sky! This is the only way to comfort our brothers in heaven!” The one who suggested was a burly man who was nearly two meters tall. He had dark skin and a long scar on his forehead.

The man standing next to him was much shorter than him. He looked androgynous, and there was a strange feminine aura in his features. When he heard the brawny man’s words, he glanced at him impatiently. “I’ve told you countless times that you shouldn’t rely solely on your strength to do things. Are your brains for show? They’ll definitely come back. At that time, we will…”

Halfway through his sentence, he saw someone stumbling toward him from the door, shouting as he ran. It was unknown what the person had seen, but he looked flustered. As he ran, his body went limp and he fell to the ground. Then, he tried his best to get up and continue running.

The effeminate man looked at the person who had just arrived, his eyes revealing impatience. “Why are you so flustered? What happened this time?”

The person’s entire body trembled, and his lips trembled as well. “Boss… Boss was shot and is already dead!”

“What? Say that again?”

The burly man directly lifted the person up. “Say what you just said again! Who died?!”

The person who was lifted into the air like a little chick could not help but tremble. “The boss.. He was killed by those people…”
