Chapter 2724: Chapter 1842: Into the Tiger’s Den?

For Duanmu Huai and the others, these leisurely days are almost no different from their daily lives. But for other survivors, life is obviously not as good.

Just like the group of students currently desperately running on the street.

"Hurry, we must leave here!"

The leading boy shouted desperately, while the others gritted their teeth and followed behind him. But their speed wasn’t fast, especially with a little girl holding them back, slowing them even further. And not far behind them, a number of zombies were charging at them like they were products being given away for free at a supermarket — well, perhaps in the zombies’ eyes, this was indeed the case.

"Hey!"

Just as one zombie was about to pounce, a girl gritted her teeth, suddenly turned around and jabbed the zombie with a long pole she was holding, sending it flying. Then she grabbed the little girl’s hand again and continued running forward. Meanwhile, beside her, a chubby guy was drenched in sweat, practically rolling his eyes as if he was about to faint. As he looked, one might worry that even if he wasn’t eaten by zombies, he’d pass out on the ground while running.

But the zombies’ cries were getting closer behind them, and besides running instinctively, there was nothing else the group could do.

"————!"

However, as the group of survivors turned the street corner, suddenly, they saw several red lights flash before their eyes, and in the next moment, the zombies’ cries came to an abrupt end.

"Huh?"

They turned their heads, only to find the zombies that had been chasing relentlessly behind them had now turned into a bunch of smoldering charred remains.

What happened?

While they were perplexed, a voice sounded from not far away.

"Stop!"

Hearing this command, the survivors hurriedly stopped and looked towards the voice. They saw several soldiers in military uniforms appearing from the balconies on both sides, lowering their guns, and staring at them vigilantly.

"Ahead is the Tribunal’s station, unauthorized entry is prohibited! Who are you?"

What is the Tribunal?

Upon hearing this strange name, everyone was stunned for a moment. But soon, a girl with glasses spoke up.

"We are survivors! You’re the military, shouldn’t you be protecting us?"

"Wait, Li!"

The leading boy quickly grabbed the twin-tailed girl, signaling her not to say too much, as the other side was holding guns. They knew very well that in this apocalypse-like world, there are a lot of vicious people. They had encountered knife-wielding thugs before, and now facing people holding guns, they knew the outcome of any conflicts could be unpredictable.

"You mean that you want to seek the Tribunal’s protection?"

Just then, another voice startled the students, making them jump, as they turned their heads to see a short-haired woman in the same military uniform, carrying a firearm, emerging from the nearby bushes, watching them.

"Is that it?"

"This..."

Faced with the short-haired woman’s question, the students were hesitant, but another girl holding the little girl in her arms looked towards them uneasily.

"Alice has a persistent fever, she needs treatment!"

"I advise you to think carefully before speaking."

However, the short-haired woman looked at them sternly.

"If your companion is just suffering from minor ailments, the nearby pharmacy still has medicine, we haven’t taken it all, you can go there for some medication."

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, the girl with glasses flared up in anger.

"This child is seriously ill, can’t you help her? Aren’t you soldiers? Protecting civilians is your duty, right?"

"Ah....."

Hearing the twin-tailed girl’s questioning, the short-haired woman sighed helplessly. And the leading boy also stepped forward, bowing his head to her.

"Please, this child is really sick, we need medical treatment and medicine... also, we have no food left..."

"That’s not how I meant it."

The short-haired woman stared at the boy.

"Then let me explain beforehand, if you choose to accept the Tribunal’s protection, you will have to obey the Tribunal’s commands, and also, if you go in, you won’t be able to leave, do you understand what I mean?"

"This....."

Upon hearing the short-haired woman’s solemn warning, the students immediately hesitated. Although they didn’t know what this Tribunal was, it was clear they were being warned. This made these inexperienced students hesitant as they could see this Tribunal seemed very difficult to deal with, so they stepped back a few paces and began discussing in low tones.

"What to do now? Should we do as she says, and first try to find medicine for Little Alice..."

"But in Little Alice’s condition, just medicine might not be enough."

Another woman wearing a white coat, looking like a doctor, shook her head.

"She needs injections of antibiotics, I think a general pharmacy wouldn’t have the equipment for that."

"Then we should go to a hospital..."

"Can you guarantee that there are no zombies there?"

"What should we do now?"

"Why don’t we go check out this Tribunal organization first?"

Earlier, the exhausted guy, gasping almost to the point of passing out, also offered his suggestion.
