Doomsday Savior (4): Save people

If a zombie-infected person appeared on a closed-environment vehicle like a train or airplane, the other passengers would have nowhere to escape and could only passively take the beatings from the aggressive zombies.

After the Council of Elders invited Si Qi to come and had a conversation with him, they confirmed that Si Qi was not joking around, and after seeing Si Qi’s predictive ability with their own eyes, they immediately decided to give Si Qi a certain amount of trust, and even at the risk of huge economic losses, they still gritted their teeth and held on to the bottom line, completely stopping all traffic fortresses across the country, and did not dare to take risks with the safety of the people.

As a result, this move was a good one.

At 2:32 p.m., all those who knew about the situation sat in front of their respective workstations, waiting in a serious manner, facing the doomsday that seemed like a fantasy in a somewhat unbelievable state of mind.

At thirty-two minutes and one second, nothing happened.

No one laughed, and no one whispered. Everyone was quietly guarding their posts with serious expressions.

At thirty-two minutes and ten seconds, a piercing telephone ringtone suddenly rang out in the quiet conference room. The staff member guarding the phone immediately picked up the call and pressed the hands-free button. The panicked voice from the other end echoed through the loudspeaker throughout the command center: “Zombies –!!! Zombies are coming!!!”

Everyone’s face turned green.

They subconsciously looked at the young man sitting in the front seat. There was not even a trace of surprise in Si Qi’s calm expression. There was no joy of prediction coming true, nor was there any pride of being free of doubts. There was only calmness.

He said: “Please stick to the original plan.”

As soon as the words fell, everyone moved at once. Some of the elders even took time out of their busy schedules to come over to Lei Feng, patted the shoulders of the young man who had been under great pressure during this period, and then left in a hurry.

Everything was implied.

Lei Feng looked at the boy with a complicated expression and said to him, “Then I’ll go pick up those experts you mentioned.”

Si Qi nodded and said, “You will be attacked by zombies when you pass by the gas station. Watch your back and be sure to wear a bulletproof vest.”

Lei Feng took note of it carefully and said to him, “Don’t worry, I will definitely be back the next morning at the latest.”

Si Qi nodded: “I know.”

Lei Feng was stunned after hearing this, then smiled and said, “That’s right.”

Without wasting any words, he turned around and left the command center with great force, called his men who had been waiting outside, and organized people to go to various places to look for the experts and ability users pointed out by Si Qi.

When the convoy passed the second city, the official news had already spread to every corner. The once prosperous streets were now deserted, and the only sounds could be heard of irrational zombies banging on doors and windows and roaring frantically.

Many young people who had never been to the battlefield were facing this kind of scene for the first time. They asked in a tense voice: “If they attack us, can we fight back? Are they, are they already dead?”

“He should be dead…” someone said subconsciously.

Lei Feng said coldly, “Unless there is a fatal danger, it is not allowed to kill zombies.”

The assistant beside him wondered, “Why…?”

Lei Feng: “The experts we are going to pick up now are specialized in solving the zombie virus. One day in the future, these zombies will be able to regain their sanity. Killing them is the same as killing people.”

After hearing this, the subordinates nodded quickly to indicate that they had remembered it.

Some people even laughed and said, “Our country’s response was really quick. It’s totally different from what is said in those movies and novels!”

Another person complained: “You know it’s a movie! In real life, we wouldn’t be defeated so easily by zombies!”

Lei Feng remained silent.

If Si Qi hadn’t shown up, they would probably be in a mess like in the movie, with huge casualties.

Without the TV stations’ prompt response, people would not be able to control their fear and would be chased by zombies and flee everywhere. They would not stay at home obediently, risking the zombies breaking into their homes at any time and the fear of being caught and injured. They would not go out and cause trouble for others.

After all, it was the country that had the appeal, the people were sensible, patriotic, and willing to believe in the words of the motherland and do whatever they were told to do.

If it was put somewhere else, it probably would not be so smooth.

Just as he was thinking about this, a car in front suddenly stopped and one of his men shouted, “There’s a robbery ahead!”

Lei Feng’s face darkened and he said in a cold voice: “Catch them! Then call the local police to take over!”

The assistant also criticized: “What time is it now? They are really ignorant.”

Several men rushed into the supermarket fully armed, and within a minute, they had subdued all the knife-wielding youths inside.

With the help of enthusiastic people around them, they tied up the man’s hands and feet with strong ropes, and said to the panicked customers and supermarket employees around them: “Don’t worry, the situation will be under control soon. Lock the doors and windows, and separate the zombies and the people injured by the zombies into rooms. Someone will come to take you home soon.”

An employee kept thanking them with red eyes. She was really scared when someone pointed a knife at her neck just now.

Only at this time could people feel more intuitively the greatness and reliability of their country, and feel extremely at ease when they see those people in uniform appearing before them.

This group of people came and left quickly. After dealing with the robbers, they quickly got into the car and continued to rush to their destination.

Based on the detailed address written by Si Qi, down to the exact cubicle number, they found the professor in the university toilet.

Because the situation was urgent, the professor was a little panicked and didn’t know what to do. He hid in the toilet cubicle and didn’t even know that he was in the women’s room.

Seeing this group of people appear, the professor’s heart immediately fell at ease. He shook their hands with great gratitude and said, “Thank you, thank you…”

Lei Feng said fiercely: “Professor, please come with me. Time is running out. We still have to find the next person.”

Of course the professor nodded in cooperation, and not wanting to cause any trouble for them, he quickly followed.

The convoy sped along from the afternoon until the evening of the next day.

Maybe it was the effect of the emergency news broadcast or something, but the people on the list were all safely in the positions written on the note, without any error, once again proving the power of the prophet.

“Thank you, thank you so much!”

A scholar who was hiding in a particularly secluded place said with tears of gratitude: “But, how did you find me? It’s amazing! Originally, only the designer and I knew about that secret door…”

Lei Feng remained silent and did not explain the reason.

In order to protect Si Qi’s safety, the Council of Elders had not yet announced Si Qi’s existence and prophecy.

Instead, he said to the rescued researchers and people with special abilities: “The country needs your help right now. Can you come with us to the base?”

“Of course!”

When they heard that the country needed their help, everyone agreed without hesitation.
