Xie Xuanlan suppressed his thoughts and quickly ran to the front of the car. After putting down Ruan Qing, he opened the car door and swiftly pulled out the zombie’s body.
Without delay, Ruan Qing, after Xie Xuanlan put him down, immediately opened the back door and quickly got in.
The car keys were in the car. Xie Xuanlan directly started the car, then stepped on the gas pedal and drove towards the exit before the zombies surrounded them.
Even if there were zombies blocking the way, Xie Xuanlan didn’t slow down at all, just ramming through them.
The speed of the zombies was far slower than that of the car, and Xie Xuanlan quickly drove out of the underground parking lot and onto the street outside.
The few people who had been hiding in the car saw the two successfully drive out of the garage and immediately followed suit.
The reason they didn’t drive out earlier was that they couldn’t find the right exit. If they took the wrong exit and went in the direction of the Second University, it would be walking into a trap because there were far too many zombies in that direction. Countless zombies could easily block the road, and even a car wouldn’t be able to break through.
These two didn’t seem like fools. Since they dared to take the risk of driving, they would definitely find the correct exit from the underground garage.
Ruan Qing glanced back at the car following them, showing some surprise.
These few people were truly clever.
From the very beginning, they knew they couldn’t go through the building in front and chose to hide behind this building instead, even knowing to hide in the underground parking lot.
They even knew to seize the opportunity to follow them.
This didn’t seem like the level of caution and thoughtfulness one would expect from ordinary people.
However, in this vast world, there were all sorts of wonders. Perhaps there’s someone in their team who’s smarter than the average person.
After the car changed direction, Ruan Qing withdrew his gaze and looked out of the window.
Outside, it was already chaos. Cars were parked everywhere on the streets, and zombies roamed aimlessly, instinctively chasing after the scent of living people.
Not far away, there were occasional screams. Just listening to them sent chills down one’s spine.
It was still nighttime, and it wasn’t convenient to go anywhere, and they didn’t even know where would be safe.
Moving away from the place where the zombie outbreak occurred was always the right decision.
Xie Xuanlan drove in the direction of the headquarters.
However, the situation was much worse than he had imagined. Even though he had already driven a considerable distance, he could still see zombies roaming the streets.
This was no longer the same district.
It seemed that the entire city had fallen.
And because the zombie outbreak had occurred so suddenly, there were countless accidents on the road, probably due to vehicles trying to avoid the zombies.
The entire traffic system had collapsed.
Many roads were impassable due to congestion.
It would probably be difficult to drive out of the city.
Xie Xuanlan stopped in a place without zombies when he noticed that the fuel was running low.
It was too dangerous at night. It would be best to wait until daylight to figure out a solution.
Now that both transportation and communication were completely paralyzed, there was no way to contact the outside world, not even to request rescue.
The place where Xie Xuanlan stopped was a partially constructed residential area.
Because it was incomplete, there were hardly any people around, making it much safer than in other places.
But the environment was also much harsher.
The entire residential building emitted an unpleasant odor.
Xie Xuanlan got out of the car and took out a flashlight, cautiously scanning the surroundings.
After confirming that there was no immediate danger, he tapped the window of the backseat, signaling for Ruan Qing to get out.
Ruan Qing didn’t hesitate and immediately got out of the car.
Xie Xuanlan used the flashlight to illuminate the area. When he saw something flash by, Ruan Qing froze.
Instinctively, he grabbed Xie Xuanlan’s clothes and whispered, “Shine the light over there again.”
Xie Xuanlan narrowed his eyes and directed the flashlight towards the area. However, it wasn’t zombies as he had thought; it was just an aerial view of a residential building.
Residential buildings like this usually have a large aerial view poster, typically showcasing digitally enhanced images.
It’s just a means of propaganda; whether the residential building would end up like that was uncertain.
“No, not that,” Ruan Qing lowered his voice and whispered, “A little to the left.”
Xie Xuanlan didn’t know what Ruan Qing meant, but he still shifted the flashlight slightly to the left.
On the left was a map, showing the location of this residential building in the city, accompanied by an aerial view of the entire city.
With the flashlight shining on it, Ruan Qing finally saw clearly.
What concerned him was not the location of this residential building, but the information he found in the original owner’s memory about this city.
The city was called City A, located in the center of a lake, an island in the lake.
There was only one bridge leading out.
If that bridge had a problem, it would be incredibly difficult to leave.
But that wasn’t the scariest part.
The scariest part was what would happen if only this city had zombies. What would the outside world do?
The time limit for this instance was seven days, and typically, survival instances like this tended to change on the last day.
These changes were usually extremely dangerous.
If one couldn’t find a way out, there was almost no way to survive these changes.
For example, in the previous instance, the ghost domain of the pen spirit merged with the daytime, and in the instance before that, it was the funeral of the young master.
So, what would happen on the seventh day of this instance?
Ruan Qing had a bad feeling in his heart.
The geographical location of this city was too delicate, so delicate that he had to think more.
Most people, when making decisions, would tend to sacrifice the interests of a few to ensure the interests of the majority.
This decision was cruel and ruthless, but it was the most effective way to minimize losses.
After all, if sacrificing one person could save thousands, most of those saved would choose to sacrifice that person.
Whether that person volunteered to sacrifice or not no longer mattered.
In other words, if the zombies reached an uncontrollable situation, there might be a situation where blowing up City A to save the entire world would not be impossible.
If it was really as he suspected, then there was only one real way out of this instance.
Escape from City A.
Even considering the possibility of killing those who escaped to the other side of the bridge.
Because those outside might not necessarily accept people fleeing.
No one knew if the person who escaped carried the virus, and no one could guarantee whether it was safe or not.
So, the best method is to nip everything in the bud.
Xie Xuanlan suppressed his thoughts and quickly ran to the front of the car. After putting down Ruan Qing, he opened the car door and swiftly pulled out the zombie’s body.
