Chapter 024 Day 2
"I don’t understand... Why can’t even such powerful weapons deal with zombies...?"
Zheng Xinyu crouched on the ground, sobbing softly. She mourned the sacrifices of those heroic individuals, grieved her inability to wait for rescue, and despaired over the bleakness of their future.
"I used to think the same," Zhang Su said, shaking his head. "Carbon-based life forms should be nothing in the face of heavy firepower. But now, I don’t think so anymore."
His earlier assumptions had been based on the military and police systems being fully operational—where overwhelming firepower could easily wipe out the zombies. However, if the zombie virus was indiscriminately infectious, then...
Humanity’s advanced weaponry was undeniably powerful, but those weapons needed to be operated by humans. Living, uninfected humans were the key.
"If that’s true, doesn’t that mean there’s no hope for rescue?" Zheng Xinyu’s tear-streaked face turned toward Zhang Su, her eyes filled with despair.
If even advanced weaponry couldn’t counter the zombies, how could ordinary civilians—people who had never even held a gun—possibly stand a chance?
"Who said there’s no hope?" Zhang Su placed a firm hand on Zheng Xinyu’s icy back and said resolutely, "Being alive is hope. We fight with all we’ve got, and only when we’ve reached the end of the road can we even think of giving up!"
