Three minutes after Hua Chuanlong and his group had dealt with a few zombies.

The vehicles behind them slowly came forward.

Before the vehicles behind could stabilize, Hua Chuanlong told his followers to ask them to speed up.

But they also reflected that the reason they were about ten minutes late was because they encountered zombies.

However, Hua Chuanlong didn't care about those excuses.

He issued a firm order that he would not slow down anymore; if they couldn't keep up, they might as well be left to feed the zombies.

After saying that, Hua Chuanlong got into the car and started the engine.

Continuing towards Xin City.

During the journey, maintaining a speed of 90 kilometers per hour, even the modified armored RV's front shield was deformed from smashing through zombies and abandoned vehicles.

It looked like it was about to be scrapped.

Along the way, they also encountered groups of zombies numbering in the hundreds, but Hua Chuanlong had no intention of stopping. Instead, he drove straight through.

Breaking through the zombie siege.

But the last two vehicles, with about twenty people on board, failed to keep up with the group.

Eventually, they were surrounded by zombies and in the turmoil, were devoured.

From then on, everyone dared not fall behind; even if something happened.

A warning from the earlier situation.

Forcing them to maintain vigilance, with their foot on the gas to the floor, following closely behind.

With their path cleared ahead, the road became somewhat easier. Once left behind, encountering zombies could really be deadly.

Racing like lightning, they headed towards Xin City.

Silent all the way.

...

At 4:38 pm, they arrived at Xin City.

Quiet.

Just as they had arrived at Xin City, not far away.

Two people emerged from underneath a sealed building.

...

These two people were Dayong and Yuan Chong, who had been hiding in a storage room to avoid zombies.

Originally after being attacked by a group from the north, the two were forced into a building full of zombies.

They helplessly watched the death of Xiao Kui, and later, thanks to the zombies, were forced into this storeroom.

This storeroom was well-stocked with supplies.

After sealing the door of the storeroom, they hadn't gone out.

Hiding inside until the supplies were nearly depleted, they then dared to venture out.

Due to the excessive stimulation they previously endured, they became somewhat skittish.

The two had not seen the sun for a long time while hiding in the storeroom, and their complexions were quite pale.

They collected and organized the food from the shelves into two backpacks, each carrying a bag.

Slowly, they pulled open the door of the storeroom.

Click.

The storeroom's door made a slight noise; Yuan Chong said to Dayong behind him, "Dayong, it's safe outside. Let's go."

Former love rivals, who had saved each other back then and having spent such a long time in this storeroom together, their relationship of mutual disdain turned into offering each other warmth.

At this moment, their bond had transcended mere friendship.

Dayong, holding a sharpened iron rod, slowly walked outside; the two cautiously stepped out.

Tiptoeing.

Until they reached the gateway, they looked up to feel the afternoon sunshine.

Warm, and soothing.

Feeling somewhat hot, the last time they were outside, there was still a lot of snow, but now as they came out, the surrounding snow had all disappeared.

The abandoned vehicles nearby were still there, they looked at where Xiao Kui had died, but there wasn't a single trace left on the ground.

Zombies, like locusts, leave nothing behind wherever they pass.

Even the bloody water had been washed away by the heavy rain.

Not a single trace left behind.

The two observed their surroundings, feeling as though the seas had changed and everything was unrecognizable.

The last time they ventured out, it was winter, with a white blanket covering everything, but now, all had changed.

Suddenly, within that building, a group of zombies appeared, hiding in the dark recesses to avoid the harsh sunlight.

But now, a gust of wind carried the scent of humans to them.

Crash~

The movement of the zombies inside the building pushed the furniture around, creating noise.

Roar Roar Roar~

The roaring of the zombies alerted Dayong and the other man.

Dayong turned back to see a large group of zombies emerging from the exact location they had just left, breaking out in a cold sweat. Thankfully, they had exited in time or else they would have been overtaken by these zombies...

"Run!"

The two carrying their packs, ran outside.

The zombies chased closely behind them.

The recent rainfall had flooded many cars, causing rust to form on the surfaces.

Similarly, the ground was now muddy.

Yuan Chong quickly said, "Run towards the outskirts of the city."

Dayong, gasping for air, said, "Yes, let's hurry. Aren't we just the unluckiest, barely making it out only to be chased by these zombies."

Yuan Chong tightened his grip on his backpack and looked back at Dayong, "Stop talking, just run."

The two picked up the pace and quickly ran outside.

Their location was already near the edge of the city, close to the national highway.

....

At this moment, less than a kilometer away, Hua Chuanlong and his group had just arrived at this place.

Hua Chuanlong stood on the national highway, observing the buildings on the city's edge, deserted, not even a single zombie in sight.

His subordinate said, "Boss, according to the map, we should be at Xin City now, but we don't know the situation here.

That Wang Xiansheng didn't tell us the exact location of the group that took over the granary.

What should we do next?"

Hua Chuanlong removed his sunglasses and looked up at the sunlight, also somewhat confused.

Still, he said, "If we don't know the exact location, we can ask around. Can a living person really die from not peeing? I refuse to believe there's not a single person in the whole Xin City."

The subordinate glanced at the empty streets, thought for a moment, and said, "Boss, there's no one here, and the sun is about to set, who do we ask?"

Hua Chuanlong frowned, this...

Thump Thump Thump Thump~

A series of heavy footsteps approached.

Hua Chuanlong smiled and said, "Isn't someone coming now?"

The group looked toward the direction of the sound, only to see two figures walking towards them against the setting sun.

Due to the sun setting, Hua Chuanlong and his group didn't notice the large crowd of zombies following behind in the shadows of the buildings.

Hua Chuanlong watched as the two individuals, backpacks bulging, approached.

The smile on his lips grew.

Meanwhile, what Yuan Chong and his companion saw was a group of people under the setting sun, radiating a warm glow, standing as if waiting for them, akin to saviors.

Both Yuan Chong and Hua Chuanlong shared a thought: No road is truly dead-end.

However, as Yuan Chong and his friend ran closer, just meters away, they saw that Hua Chuanlong and his people looked formidable, reminding them of those they had encountered from the North.

Inside their minds: Damn?! So many people!

And with nearly three hundred people present, as Yuan Chong and his friend approached, the zombies behind also came into the sunlight, looking like a swarming beehive.

Their thoughts: Damn?! These two fools! Did they stir up a zombie nest?!

The previous joy and relief of both groups, at that moment, turned into two words:

Damn?!
