"Hmph, I don't care how you treat others, but in my presence, if you can't control your mouth and eyes, don't blame me for being rude!"
Zhao Zhirou's beautiful eyes swept over the few rich second-generation youths, then she looked at the fashionably haired rich second-generation and slowly put the gun away.
"Not daring, not daring..."
The crew-cut youth sighed in relief and quickly admitted defeat.
"Alright, let's get to the point!"
At this moment, the oldest police officer, Uncle Chen, who was over forty, spoke up.
"Let's decide on this. I'll make some noise to draw the zombies away, and you guys take the chance to sneak in and grab the guns and ammunition. Any objections?"
Originally, Zhao Zhirou wanted to have these rich second-generations drive to lure the zombies away, since they were practically of no help in combat.
But seeing how things were, she realized she couldn't count on these guys, nor could she hope for much from the two bodyguards.
"Zhirou, I'll go with you. It's better to have two people looking out for each other!"
Among the four officers, the youngest, Officer Sun Hai, stepped forward, choosing to make noise with her to attract the zombies.
"That's settled then. Zhirou and Xiao Hai will drive to attract the zombies, while we search the police station for supplies. We'll control the time within ten minutes. After ten minutes, no matter what, we must retreat."
Uncle Chen and Old Zhao nodded in agreement, finalizing the decision.
Naturally, no one objected, and everyone agreed to the plan.
"Ok, you guys go to the car first. We'll notify you with the walkie-talkie after we're ready," Chen and Zhao nodded.
"No problem!"
The two bodyguards and the six young men and women responded in turn.
"Let's go!"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhirou and Sun Hai immediately sprang into action.
Meanwhile, Chen and Zhao also led the remaining people to look for places to hide.
Four minutes later!
"Zhirou, we've finished hiding!"
"Received!"
Zhao Zhirou and Sun Hai had already boarded an armored cash transport vehicle. Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhao Zhirou immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, "Start the operation!"
"Beep—"
The next moment, the originally silent and unusually quiet streets were directly shattered by a loud horn sound.
Instantly, zombies hiding in dark places were awakened, growling as they walked out from the shadows, and this situation continued to spread around, causing more and more zombies to emerge from the dark corners, among them two evolved zombies as noticeable as ordinary people.
"Hehe...hehe..."
"Hoho..."
"Wuu...wuu..."
As they noticed the source of the sound, their rotting flesh and blood seemed to be instantly activated, making them rush over in a frenzy.
"This policewoman is so brave, taking on such a dangerous task when none of the men dared to, yet she did."
Inside the armored vehicle, watching the screen as the cash transport vehicle was gradually surrounded by zombies, Liu Yuqing expressed her admiration.
Ray laughed after hearing this, "Brave indeed, but a bit foolish."
"Foolish?"
Liu Yuqing didn't understand, her face showing confusion as she looked at Ray.
"Look here!"
Ray couldn't be bothered to explain and simply had Jarvis rewind the surveillance video a few minutes back, pausing at the moment they decided on the plan.
Watching the screen, Liu Yuqing noticed a detail she had missed before.
The young male police officer who had volunteered to join the policewoman, upon getting approval, had an excitement on his face that was hard to notice, as well as a fervent look towards the policewoman.
Ray glanced at Liu Yuqing and asked with a smile, "Do you understand now?"
Liu Yuqing exclaimed, "This male officer has ulterior motives!?"
She was all too familiar with that expression on the male officer's face. As the school beauty, she had never been short of such gazes around her.
So, the moment she noticed it, she understood!
Why the young male officer didn't speak up earlier, and only requested to join after the female officer had spoken.
It was obvious he was coveting the beauty of the female officer!
Moreover, with the apocalypse at hand, he was looking for an opportunity to take advantage of the female officer!
And now that the opportunity to be alone with her had presented itself, he naturally couldn't restrain himself!
"Exactly!"
Ray smiled, took his gaze away from the display, took back control of the vehicle, and said, "You continue to monitor, I'll find a suitable place to set a trap."
"Understood," Liu Yuqing responded.
A few minutes later!
A small crossroad about three hundred meters away from the police station came into Ray's view.
The crossroad area, with not too many wrecked vehicles, wouldn't affect the effectiveness of the exploding barrels, making it ideal for setting up a trap.
Ray didn't hesitate, immediately chose a spot to park the vehicle, and quickly cleared the nearby zombies with a medium-range nail gun. Then, he asked Liu Yuqing to keep an eye on their surroundings while he jumped out of the vehicle to move several barrels of oil from the armored vehicle.
Following Jarvis's suggested method, he arranged nine oil barrels around a central barrel at the crossroads to maximize the effect of the explosion from ten barrels.
After everything was set up, Ray got back into the vehicle, "Jarvis, where is the female officer now?"
"Sir, according to mobile phone positioning, they are now about three kilometers to your left front on a main road," Jarvis replied.
"Good, real-time locate her position on the map, and plan a route that could intercept them," Ray instructed again.
"Alright, sir."
Jarvis promptly replied, and in less than a second, his voice rang out again: "Sir, the route has been planned."
Ray glanced at the route Jarvis had planned, started the armored vehicle, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the road ahead on the left.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Liu Yuqing, seeing this, became curious, "Are we going to help her?"
"Yeah, I've taken a liking to her," Ray nodded.
"Taken a liking to her?"
Liu Yuqing was astonished; she hadn't expected Ray to be so forthright.
Ray noticed her tone, turned his head to glance at her, smiled, and casually explained.
"In these times, being short on people is no good. This policewoman is calm and decisive in the face of danger, and she's also skilled in combat. Most importantly, she's a police officer, skilled with firearms. We're about to loot firearms and military supplies, and I certainly can't use them all by myself. It would be perfect to have her use them."
After hearing Ray's explanation, Liu Yuqing felt an inexplicable sense of relief and nodded in agreement,
"Indeed, like just now, if there was another person skilled with guns to help you clear out zombies or watch your back, the efficiency would definitely be much higher."
Liu Yuqing was well aware of her own shortcomings. Although her physical strength was adequate, she was lacking in various aspects. Although she could learn, that would take time.
On the other hand, the shortfall of being understaffed could be quickly remedied by adding more people.
And this policewoman, being an officer, seemed to be a good person, not to mention a woman, which wouldn't cause them too much concern in joining the team.
Moreover, compared to adding a man, she would prefer a woman joining the team.
Not to mention, this way, she would at least have someone to talk about women's private matters with.
However, what she didn't realize was that her concerns were unnecessary. Ray would never allow any man to join his team from the beginning to the end.
Moreover, the reasons Ray gave for wanting the policewoman to join the team only accounted for fifty percent. The other fifty percent was her legs, her waist, her looks...
