For a time—
Almost everyone in Fengtian City who had a reputation and knew more about the situation had learned one thing: Chen Miao had returned from a trip filled with Hell Bus trips.
Although he hadn't returned officially, from the reactions of Zhou Shen and the others, they had guessed more or less what happened.
...
But Chen Miao had fallen into a difficult situation, even seeing the messages sent by Hungry Monkey and others in the chat channel, he didn't have time to reply.
He was currently at the last stop.
Which was the 11th station.
It was the most critical station he encountered, different from the extremely high death rate boss levels, this level tested many things. He could have stayed on the bus and passed the level smoothly without getting off.
But, when he saw Doctor Gou seriously wounded and lying on the ground, he couldn't help but join the battlefield. Doctor Gou had shown him kindness, and he couldn't just watch Doctor Gou die right before his eyes.
Although he tried to close his eyes, his mind was clear.
"Shh!"
Chen Miao's chest rose and fell slightly as he hid in the dark corner of the house, holding his breath and watching the monster that broke into the house and looked around. The monster was two meters tall, with tentacles growing from where the head should be.
Each of the dozens of tentacles had an eye, and they were now scanning the room in a 360-degree sweep.
This was the most troublesome monster he had encountered so far.
It couldn't be killed.
As soon as it died, the monster would start to split into dozens of new ones.
Moreover, they would multiply according to the number of people on their side, spawning ten times as many creatures, which nearly nullified all the tactics of the Insect Tribe Priest from Jingjiu City.
The 11th station—"Uninhabited Village."
After getting off at the last station, there was a desolate, uninhabited village, and their task was to rescue the villagers who were still alive.
"But this mission at the 11th stop doesn't have any progress bar, meaning even if we rescue some villagers, we do not know if we have rescued enough."
"Isn't that so?"
Old Gao frowned tightly without speaking. After hearing what Chen Miao said, it seemed to make some sense; if it were a straight-up hostage rescue mission, there should indeed be a progress bar, not just a single sentence: "Chen Miao, just say what you're thinking directly."
"My thought is quite simple."
Chen Miao, who had slowed his breathing, hid in the corner of the room and looked up at the night outside the window, whispering, "Since the mission is to rescue the villagers who are not yet dead, then if all the villagers died, wouldn't the mission be considered a success?"
"That's a fucking mission failure, isn't it!"
The only old man in the team couldn't help but speak out in annoyance, "What the hell kind of suggestion is that? If all the hostages are dead, do you think it's mission failed or mission success?"
Old Gao remained silent, he felt that both sides made some sense, and he was unsure of what to choose at the moment.
"It's not completely unreasonable."
The dog sitting in the corner, with a trace of thought in its pupils, spoke up, "Rescue the villagers who are not yet dead, which means that the mission actually doesn't care whether the current villagers are alive, but to rescue those who are not yet dead."
"If all the villagers are dead, then the mission naturally counts as a success because there's nobody left to rescue."
"It's worth a try."
"After all, we don't have any other options right now. It's simply not possible to sneak in normally, and if we attack, the number of monsters will only increase. If we open fire, we'll likely harm those villagers."
"Since they'll be harmed anyway, might as well just kill them."
The 'Insect Tribe Priest' from Jingjiu City nodded, his clothing already muddy and tattered, his eyes showing a hint of panic and unease as he nodded, "I'll go along with you guys."
At this stop, he was almost completely redundant, which left him feeling extremely insecure, a feeling that greatly affected his judgment.
"Then it's decided."
Chen Miao slowly stood up and drew his Thompson submachine gun from his chest, "The minority will follow the majority. Since there's no clear solution, let's take a gamble and smash the problem."
"If we win the bet, we all get to go home alive."
