Chapter 578: Chapter 157 Evil Reveals a Cowardly Heart Before Justice_3

Staying inside the house all the time was very stuffy.

...

Dawn.

Somewhere in the city of Huang.

In front of a shop.

"Hehe."

A group of zombies surrounded a modified vehicle, and several survivors stood atop the vehicle, armed with tools, hunting down the zombies banging on the vehicle without any fear in their expressions.

Their movements were skilled, as though they had been honed a thousand times.

One by one, the zombies had their brains crushed and collapsed to the ground.

Among them, a woman in her thirties standing on the vehicle was particularly fierce, wielding a specially made machete, ruthlessly chopping down on the zombies’ heads, strike after strike.

Soon.

The zombies encircling the vehicle were cleared out.

The group hurried into the shop to transport the scouted supplies, and the woman did the same. In the shop, upon seeing a toy airplane the size of a palm, she thought of her child and took one.

After a moment, the driver, who was operating the vehicle, yelled out to them as more zombies wandered into sight.

Everyone quickly got into the vehicle.

The driver stepped on the gas, and in a puff of smoke, they vanished without a trace.

The number of zombies in the area where they lived was simply too many. Finding a relatively safe street to scavenge for supplies was very difficult, and they would also encounter various types of zombies that were horrific at a glance.

Much later.

They returned to their hiding place.

"Mommy."

In the hiding place, a boy of four or five years old rushed happily into the arms of the thirty-something woman as she appeared.

The woman took out the toy airplane she had deliberately picked up during the supply run.

"Rourou, do you like it?"

"I like it."

The little boy happily played with the airplane.

The woman watched her son playing with the airplane, a soft smile spreading across her face.

Her name was Xu Ying, thirty-two years old. Before the apocalypse, she worked as a waitress in a restaurant, raising her child alone. Her husband had run away with a teenage girl he met online.

With the arrival of the apocalypse.

She was utterly dumbfounded, unable to believe that such terrifying things like zombies could actually exist. Thinking of the child at home, she ran back in a frenzy and, after finally reaching home, slowly breathed a sigh of relief once she was certain her child was unharmed.

During that time, which was the darkest moment for her, chaos had erupted everywhere outside. Zombies were biting people left and right. After hiding at home with her child for over ten days, they were both completely out of supplies.

She knew this couldn’t go on, so she strapped her child to her chest, brandishing two kitchen knives, and left the place where they resided.

Whether it was luck or something else.

The escape process went smoothly.

Lately, she had encountered other survivors and formed a team. She was a woman, but not foolish. She knew that in such an apocalyptic world, if she didn’t show strength, they would ultimately abandon her.

For Rourou, for herself, she exhibited a strength she had never shown before.

When facing zombies, she was scared too, but reality told her that being scared was useless; no one would pay for your fears.

All she wanted was to keep Rourou safe.

After playing for a while, Rourou ran into Xu Ying’s arms, "Mommy, can I see you every time I open my eyes?"

Xu Ying hugged her child, "Of course, my dear Rourou."

"Mm."

Rourou lay in Xu Ying’s arms, feeling very secure.

Xu Ying had no choice, she needed to contribute to the team and show her value to be taken seriously, so that Rourou could be better cared for.

Otherwise, if she were collecting supplies outside and no one took care of her child, he might try to go out and look for her, and that consequence was unimaginable.

"Xu Ying, come here."

Someone called out.

Xu Ying told Rourou to stay and play with the airplane herself for a bit, and walked over to the square table where five survivors were gathered.

Four men and one woman.

Xu Ying understood that although they had always cooperated to survive in the apocalypse, if true danger arose, they would definitely abandon their teammates.

Thus, she always hoped to stay safe at all times when going out.

Only in this way could such a team continue to maintain itself.

"What’s up?" Xu Ying asked.

"Take a look at this."

Xu Ying glanced at the item laid out on the table, murmuring to herself, "Zombie Album?"

She then flipped through it.

The content inside shocked her; she never expected someone to have recorded things from the apocalypse in such detail, including crystal-clear photos of the zombies.

"Where did this come from?"

"We found it on the ground during a supply run earlier. Look at the back, it mentions that our city of Huang has a shelter, the Sunshine District Shelter."

Xu Ying said, "From here to the Sunshine District, even if we drive, it takes forty minutes, let alone now with so many zombies outside; whether we can reach there is still a question."

She really hadn’t expected that within Huang city, there actually was such a large shelter.

It was described in detail.

There were soldiers, doctors, and more.

The most convincing part was the word ’soldiers’; ordinarily, it may not seem like much, but with disaster upon them, it became the most dazzling beacon of hope.

Someone suggested, "If we could get there, we might truly be safe."

"I agree. Just the way this ’Zombie Album’ is put together so meticulously, it must be the military’s doing. But the journey is too long and too dangerous. I think I’ll pass. Even if we go, there’s no guarantee we’ll make it."
