“Sis-in-law, I’m heading out today, and I might be gone for a few days. Don’t run around while I’m not here on your own.”

Wang Tao glanced at the rain outside the window and spoke to Ding Yuqin beside him.

“…Okay!”

Ding Yuqin felt reluctant, but she knew that Wang Tao was searching for their new home.

Soon, Ding Yuqin helped Wang Tao get fully geared up.

“Remember, you must stay at home. There’s plenty of food, enough for you. I’ve also left a walkie-talkie for you, and I’ll check in on you from time to time. If I find out that you’re running around again, sis-in-law, watch out for a spanking!”

Wang Tao gave Ding Yuqin’s bottom a firm smack.

“Stop it-”

Ding Yuqin gave Wang Tao an annoyed look, then said seriously,

“Don’t worry, I’ll wait for you at home obediently! Be careful, okay?”

Ding Yuqin bestowed a longing kiss on Wang Tao, and then watched reluctantly as he drove away from Happy Community.

Having a different car really made a difference; not only was this one more comfortable, but it was also much quieter. Plus, with the heavy rain and detours, he hardly encountered any zombies along the way. Even if an occasional zombie did appear, he simply ran it over.

However, the slight regret he had was that he didn’t encounter any special zombies on the way.

Wang Tao wasn’t interested in killing ordinary zombies anymore, but if he came across special ones, he definitely would want to try and take them down. After all, special zombies had Crystal Cores.

“At this pace, I should arrive at Shuize University in another twenty minutes…”

Wang Tao ate some compressed biscuits in the car, preparing to hit the road again, but upon spotting a building in the distance, he raised an eyebrow.

“Huh? Isn’t that Rui Cai Commercial Street right ahead!”

Wang Tao reviewed the map; if he cut through Rui Cai Commercial Street, Suzaku University was indeed very close. At least, it could save him ten minutes of travel.

In a post-apocalyptic world, saving time was saving lives.

However, considering what Ou Yingying had described over the walkie-talkie earlier, Wang Tao still felt it was better to take a detour.

Time-saving on the premise of safety was one thing, but if there was danger, then it was a different story altogether.

“Da da da—”

All of a sudden, rhythmic gunfire came from the commercial street. Even though it was raining heavily, the sound was unmistakably clear.

“Gunfire! From the direction of the commercial street!”

Wang Tao’s brow furrowed, and he immediately turned off the car and got out, climbing up to the third floor of the building behind him.

Rumble—

“Roar!”

The sound of gunfire incited countless zombies to roar; the ground seemed to tremble.

“Da da da—da da da—”

The gunfire continued, giving the impression that it wasn’t an individual, but more like a squad at work.

After climbing to the rooftop of the three-story building, Wang Tao immediately took out his binoculars to observe.

In the distance, Rui Cai Commercial Street was swarming with zombies, and at the entrance of the road at the forefront were three modified off-road military vehicles, reinforced with steel plates, wire netting, and spikes.

Each of the three vehicles had a shooting port on the roof, with three camouflaged soldiers emerging halfway out, pulling the triggers of the mounted machine guns, firing bursts at the horde of zombies. Rifle fire was also coming through the shooting ports of the car windows.

The ferocious, terrifying zombies were falling en masse as if they were chives being harvested. Even if they weren’t shot in the head, being hit by a 12.7 caliber machine gun would pulverize half of their bodies, rendering them instantaneously incapacitated.

“This is the power of thermal weapons!”

On the rooftop, Wang Tao watched this scene with a surging heart, feeling as though he was the one firing the guns. After all, which man could reject shooting a gun!

“With such firepower, how could zombies possibly stand a chance against humans! I wonder if there’s still a large scale army surviving…”

Three vehicles, more than a dozen guns, after killing a large swath of zombies, rolled straight over them and drove into the commercial street. They then stopped in a triangular formation in front of a shop.

Zombies continually approached from all sides but were shot dead, and occasionally, a few slipped through the defensive fire but were powerless against the modified military vehicles.

Inside the vehicle, someone opened the door and waved to the shop, then two figures were seen running out of the shop and diving into the van.

“Hmm? Those two silhouettes look familiar… Ou Yingying and that Sun Weiguang?”

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised. He had casually told Ou Yingying and the others to wait for rescue over the walkie-talkie, not really expecting them to actually wait. Yet, they had? Such good luck?

Even Wang Tao was envious of this stroke of fortune.

He continued to watch, and as soon as Ou Yingying and the other were on board, the convoy immediately began to retreat.

At that moment, more zombies converged from all directions, swarming towards the three vehicles like a black tide. Wang Tao also spotted at least dozens of those “crazy zombies” that ran faster than humans and could climb over walls.

The arrival of these “crazy zombies” suddenly increased the pressure on the armed convoy!

Though Wang Tao could not hear or see the communication within the vehicles, the suddenly chaotic gunfire suggested they were starting to panic.

Fortunately, they had plenty of bullets and thick armor, so no matter how strong the crazy zombies were, they could not withstand the gunfire.

The vehicles struggled to break free from the encirclement of zombies and reached the main road, then with a sudden acceleration, the three vehicles sped away.

But it was not so easy to shake off the zombies, and due to the poor road conditions, the convoy couldn’t pick up much speed. The horde of zombies relentlessly followed behind, as if they could be overwhelmed at any moment.

These people must be from Shuize University Base, but perhaps fearing to lead zombies there, they didn’t head in that direction. Instead, they led this large group of zombies away via another road.

After watching the three vehicles and the horde of zombies leave, Wang Tao shook his head.

“These people have good weapons and combat capabilities, but they seem a bit reckless! I wonder who’s commanding them… However, they’ve drawn all the zombies away, so couldn’t I take a shortcut?”

Wang Tao’s eyes lit up.

He took another careful look, and sure enough, there were no longer any living zombies in the commercial street—just a lot of zombie corpses lying around.

“Now’s the chance, let’s move quickly!”

Wang Tao realized this was a good opportunity.

He immediately went down and climbed into the vehicle. After starting the car, he drove towards Rui Cai Commercial Street.

Reaching Rui Cai Commercial Street and seeing the pile of zombie corpses, Wang Tao felt a bit regretful. If only he had killed them, he thought, even if it didn’t restore HP, at least he could have gained a lot of spoils of war.

The corpses blocked the way, slowing down the car a bit. At that moment, Wang Tao suddenly heard some noise coming from a shop.

“What’s that noise?”

Wang Tao immediately turned around, just as the shutter door of one of the shops deformed and then shattered, and a figure flew out of the broken doorway.

Bang!

The figure slammed hard onto the front of Wang Tao’s car.

Fortunately, he wasn’t driving fast, or else there could have been a risk of flipping the car.

Wang Tao first looked at the car’s front with some distress; thankfully, the reinforced front end was undamaged. Only then did he turn his attention to the severely injured figure on the ground.

Huh?

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised; the person turned out to be Han Rui.

She had taken off her police uniform and changed into ordinary clothes, which caused Wang Tao not to recognize her at first.

“Thump, thump—”

At that moment, a burly figure walked out of the same shop..
