Chapter 135 Covering the Rear for You

"Han Shuo, Han Shuo, that big guy is catching up, it's running so fast."

The fat man at the back of the group glanced in the rearview mirror and was startled to see the giant zombie chasing after him.

"Fatty, Shurou, hurry up!"

Han Shuo was very anxious. At the current speed, the giant zombie would catch up with them soon.

"I know that, but it takes time to accelerate when you're in open space."

Fatty and Li Shurou frantically stepped on the gas pedal.

Logically, their armored vehicles should be faster than Han Shuo's military truck.

However, Han Shuo reacted too quickly at the beginning, starting the truck and rushing out of the military base much earlier than the two of them.

At this moment, the giant zombie was still chasing rapidly from behind, each step it took making a dull thud.

Behind it, huge footprints were also left behind.

The moment the giant zombie appeared, Han Shuo knew that it was the fire they had lit in the training ground that had attracted this incredibly terrifying creature.

The three of them were still a bit careless.

If we had wasted less time, quickly moved the supplies from the armory up, and left quickly, we might have been able to avoid this crisis.

But it's too late to say anything now. There's no going back, and no room for regret.

At this moment, Han Shuo could only run away, he could only run away.

During the chase, the giant zombie picked up another boulder and hurled it at the zombie.

"boom!"

The three remained focused, swerving the steering wheel to avoid the collision.

And so, on their escape route, the three of them kept dodging the boulders falling from the sky. It was unclear whether they were lucky or the giant zombies were just bad at hitting their targets.

Although the boulder never actually fell on their heads, Han Shuo knew perfectly well what was going on.

Giant zombies have countless chances to make mistakes, but they don't. If they can't dodge a single boulder, they will perish.

...

Before they knew it, Han Shuo and the others had driven from the wasteland onto the road. Once the road was level, the three of them increased their speed.

Han Shuo was overjoyed, because once on the road, there weren't as many boulders for the giant zombies to throw, and the road was also quite remote with not many abandoned vehicles.

Most importantly, increasing speed increases your chances of survival.

But that's not enough.

Even so, the distance between the giant zombies remained unchanged.

Joy instantly turned to sorrow. Han Shuo hadn't expected that such a massive zombie could be so fast.

Keep in mind that his speed at that moment was almost at its maximum.

"Han Shuo, it's not working, I can't create any distance." Li Shurou shouted into the communicator.

"Fatty, Shurou, can your armored vehicle still accelerate?" Han Shuo asked casually.

"It should be fine. We've already floored the accelerator, and the speedometer is still slowly climbing. Why are you asking this? Could it be that..."

The fat man didn't say the rest of his sentence; he already guessed what was going on.

“That’s right, my car has already reached its speed limit…” Han Shuo continued what the fat man hadn’t said.

After the sound, both the fat man and Li Shurou fell silent.

Yes, they both knew that a truck was still just a truck, and its maximum speed could never match that of the armored vehicle they were driving.

After a moment, Han Shuo spoke up: "You two, overtake them and hurry up. Given the situation today, every extra one we can get away with is worth it..."

He could see in the rearview mirror that the giant zombie in the distance was getting closer and closer to them.

At this rate, catching up with the three is only a matter of time.

Han Shuo knew why the two of them hadn't overtaken the car yet.

Neither Fatty nor Li Shurou wanted to abandon him.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Today, among the three of us, none of us will die except you!"

After hearing what Han Shuo just said, the fat man got angry immediately; he was not the kind of person to abandon his friends.

For all this time, the fat man had been bringing up the rear, trying to cover Han Shuo in front.

This was the first time he had met Han Shuo since the Ice Crystal Virus appeared. The two fled together, and Han Shuo saved him more than once.

Without Han Shuo, I would have died long ago.

So today, Fatty decided to reserve the most dangerous position for himself. When the giant zombie catches up, he will definitely be the first to be killed. This way, he can also buy Han Shuo more time to escape.

“Yes, Han Shuo, you should continue on your way. You’ve already taken care of us enough,” Li Shurou said.

Since the day she met Han Shuo at the hospital, although their first meeting was somewhat unpleasant, she gradually came to understand Han Shuo's character through their subsequent interactions.

Especially that time at the farm, all the signs indicated that Uncle Jiang and his wife wanted to murder them.

However, she was too foolish. In her anger, she not only disbelieved Han Shuo's judgment, but also said a lot of hurtful things without thinking, and even called him a murderer.

To Li Shurou's surprise, Han Shuo not only did not blame her afterward, but also treated her sincerely.

This incident left Li Shurou with a lingering sense of guilt towards Han Shuo.

Li Shurou thought the same as the fat man: without Han Shuo, she would have died long ago.

Han Shuo has given so much for her, but she has never had the chance to repay him.

Therefore, she decided to do the same as the fat man and reserve the safest spot for Han Shuo.

"Don't worry, Fatty, you'll never be alone. I'll always be with you," Li Shurou thought to herself. Then, she slowed down her car to match Fatty's speed.

She turned and glanced at the fat man, a hint of relief appearing on her face.

Actually, she didn't know when it started, but the fat man's image was deeply engraved in Li Shurou's heart.

Unbeknownst to her, her heart had begun to sprout.

It could be when the two first met, or when the fat man first held a large shield beside him, or perhaps it was during their many bickering sessions...

Then she continued speaking.

"Han Shuo, Fatty and I will cover your rear! You just keep going."

“Yes, Shurou and I will cover your rear! You just keep going.” The fat man glanced tenderly at Li Shurou and said.

Their eyes met, and as if by telepathy, they nodded to each other.

They had already made up their minds to die.

It turned out that Fatty and Li Shurou made the same decision without prior agreement.

The two men pulled all the grenades out of their pockets, ready to detonate them when the giant zombie arrived!

They both knew that these grenades alone were absolutely insufficient to kill the giant zombie.

However, it can slow down the giant zombies a little, giving Han Shuo more time to escape.

That's enough!

At this moment, the giant zombie was only about 30 meters away from them...
