Rotting Land: Survive

The modified racing car’s engine continued to roar, and the scenery outside the car flashed by quickly on the green screen like flowing light. Li Guo’s hands operated skillfully, showing a stance no less than a professional driver.

Accelerating, shifting gears, turning, Li Guo once again used abandoned vehicles to escape the pursuit of a mutated wolf.

Since the car didn’t have rearview mirrors, Li Guo couldn’t see the situation behind him.

Everything he did was based on instinct cultivated from playing games, proving that frequent gaming isn’t necessarily a bad thing; at least at certain moments, these skills can save your life.

The mutated wolf hit by the abandoned vehicle fell to the ground, leaving a terrifying bloodstain on the surface due to its torn and worn-out fur.

But zombie-like creatures don’t lose their combat ability just because of this; as long as their central brain is intact, they can continue to function like a ’perpetual motion machine.’

"Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!" A series of urgent warning sounds buzzed through the earpiece.

Upon hearing this, Li Guo instinctively glanced at the computer screen and immediately cursed under his breath, "Damn it."

The fan-shaped icon representing signal strength flashed with red light, indicating that the car’s signal reception was about to go out of range.

Once out of range, Li Guo would lose control of the modified racing car.

Brother, your mission is complete! Thank you for everything you’ve done for us!

Finally, he murmured silently to himself. As an engineer, Li Guo had a habit of referring to the things he designed and invented as "brothers."

He believed that every design had a soul, and only by treating his work as a brother could a good engineer create perfect designs.

Now that the brother’s mission was complete, as its creator, he naturally felt gratified.

However, Li Guo didn’t want the modified racing car to end its "life" just like that. It wasn’t easily torn apart and destroyed by the mutated wolf pack.

He wanted the modified racing car to fight like a man, even if facing the ferocious and bloody mutated wolf pack.

Some might think Li Guo’s idea was a bit silly, but without a bit of obsession, how could scientists create things that defy logic?

After continuing for about 500 meters, Li Guo abruptly pulled the handbrake and then utilized the centrifugal force from the car’s sudden stop to quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the right.

At the right moment, the modified racing car skidded out a beautiful arc and steadily stopped in the middle of the road.

"Whew, whew, whew," due to the speed, the sound of multiple wind howls reached his ears, and Li Guo shifted his gaze to the computer monitor.

The green screen kept flashing figures, and Li Guo knew it was the out-of-control mutated wolves.

Soon the sound of footsteps scratching the ground became clear, and through the car camera, Li Guo could clearly see the gradually encroaching mutated wolf pack.

Perhaps seeing such a small gadget like the modified racing car for the first time, the wolf pack maintained considerable interest.

One mutated wolf sniffed around the car, seemingly trying to find something to make its "blood boil."

But after sniffing for a while without finding anything to stimulate its appetite, the mutated wolf gradually lost patience and slapped the car with its paw.

At that moment, the image shook, and Li Guo’s brows slightly furrowed, thinking that it would pay for what it did.

At once, he found the keyboard’s "B" key and then pressed it hard.

"BOOM!" With lips slightly pursed, Li Guo mimicked the sound of an explosion.

As his action concluded, a real explosion sound actually came through the earpiece.

Then the computer monitor flashed suddenly, the night vision screen originally glowing green instantly turned snowy.

It’s over! Li Guo leaned back heavily in his chair, exhaling a long breath.

The onboard Z-bomb was specially created by Xu Renjie at Li Guo’s request.

The original version of the modified racing car didn’t have this component, but upon hearing that the villa was preparing to establish a second refuge for imminent evacuation,

Li Guo decided to equip his little car with some "Big Killer."

After all, the car’s roaring engine while scouting easily exposed targets, so instead of making it a sitting duck when discovered, it was better to give it some resistance capabilities.

Considering the car’s load capacity and time and material constraints, Li Guo ultimately decided to install an internal Z-bomb in the modified racing car.

This way, even if captured by enemies, it could result in a mutual destruction, killing the captors.

This could also somewhat conceal the scouting facts and provide convenience for subsequent actions.

However, Li Guo never expected that his precautionary method initially meant for dealing with roadside bandits would end up being used on mutated wolves.

Breathing a sigh of relief, the sudden relaxation led Li Guo to feel somewhat exhausted due to the previously heightened tension.

He adjusted for a moment, moved the chair, sat in front of the computer, and then began typing to report his combat results to everyone.

Watching the real-time text transmitted from the tablet, Old Xu’s tightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and finally, a rare smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"This Li Guo, really has ideas, the other day when he asked me to make a small batch of Z medication, I was curious about what he wanted, never expected him to come up with a ’Black Widow.’" Old Xu chuckled and shook his head.

But in his heart, he felt very gratified; imagine if he had harbored resentment and refused Li Zhong and Li Guo.

Then today’s cost might have been the entire convoy.

So in this world, no matter the time, even when facing the apocalypse, people should maintain a bit of kindness.

The good rewards for good people might not be 100% guaranteed, but as long as you are strong enough, this probability undoubtedly increases.

Conversely, living ruthlessly, you might enjoy a short-lived happiness, but ultimately, you will be crushed under the wheels of history.

This is undoubted; countless historical facts explain everything.

After Tang Xiaoquan read the review of the message sent by Li Guo, he also felt inexplicably relieved.

He had been thinking about one question, if the bus was really broken by the mutated wolves, how would he face the potential reality?

However, fortunately, Li Guo’s ’stroke of genius’ blocked this possibility.

If it weren’t for the potential danger outside, Tang Xiaoquan would now want to open the car door and go to the other vehicles to thank the ’Zhong’ and ’Guo’ brothers properly.

After all, without them, today’s fate of the convoy would really be a big question.

And Li Zhong and Li Guo, through their outstanding performance in this operation, formally solidified their position within the team with a heavy mark.

If previously members of the Survivor Team accepted them merely due to the term "humans,"

Now they are truly considered as part of our own people.

So, the saying "true feelings emerge in times of adversity" is absolutely correct.

As long as the team upholds the principle of everyone for me, and me for everyone,

This team will surely continue to grow, eventually becoming an indestructible and solid rock.

However, the survivors’ respite did not last too long, about five minutes after Li Guo reported his accomplishments, urgent and chaotic scratching sounds emerged again from afar.

Tang Xiaoquan immediately adjusted the camera, and at the right moment, dense shadows rapidly approached from the end of the road on the screen. (To be continued.
