Chapter 261 Stop and Go

When Xia Yan heard her say this, he knew he had found the right person.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

Lin didn't answer. She looked out the window and began to daydream, her fingers occasionally tapping on her knees.

In the distance, the weeds gradually became thinner, with clusters of three or five growing here and there, standing upright and more than one meter high, and looking lush green as if they had been carefully cared for and fertilized.

Xia Yan couldn't see the road conditions ahead clearly, so he slowed down and was ready to brake suddenly at any time.

Soon, an asphalt road with a width of five or six meters appeared in front of us. The road surface was covered with cracks, the widest of which was more than twenty centimeters, and was filled with lush weeds.

Finally I saw the road.

She asked, "Which direction?"

As if immersed in her own world, she was suddenly brought back to reality by an invisible hand. Lin shuddered and woke up instantly. She leaned close to the front window to look around, then pointed to the right, "This way."

Her eyes swept across the rearview mirror. The grass in the mirror was as calm as when she came. The conspicuous sign of the hotel was no longer visible. They were already far away from the safe zone.

But nothing seems to be wrong.

She lightly touched her chest, feeling the powerful thumping beneath her palm, and slowly exhaled a long breath.

Xia Yan noticed her unusual reaction out of the corner of his eye, but without asking any questions, he turned the steering wheel to the right and drove into the lane.

Soon she discovered that the road was not as flat as she had imagined. The soil between the cracks was much higher than the road surface, and the strong roots had pushed up a bulge from the bottom of the asphalt road.

The wheels of the car bumped from side to side, and the two people sitting inside also swayed to and fro.

Xia Yan's voice trembled uncontrollably, "Lin, this road is not easy to walk on."

"There's no other way. It'll be the end soon."

As it turns out, some people arrive in a short while, starting at half an hour.

When he finally saw a corner of the city's tall buildings, Xia Yan felt that his feet were almost numb.

As we got closer, the devastated city scene was revealed before our eyes without any concealment.

The streets were littered with wrecked vehicles, broken bodies and limbs were scattered on the ground, and zombies were twitching and wandering in the middle.

The doors and windows of the shops on both sides were completely destroyed, broken glass was scattered all over the ground, the shelves were pushed over in all directions, and the walls were covered with splattered blood and elongated black palm prints.

The tall building in front was blown up, sharp steel bars twisted and shot into the air, huge bricks and soil fell to the ground and created deep pits, crushing the cars that had no time to dodge.

Squeak——

The vehicles that were stuck together in a chain collision were forcibly pushed apart, and the sharp and harsh sound of metal friction made people's teeth ache.

The zombies wandering nearby roared when they heard the noise and ran over frantically. There were at least twenty or thirty of them.

Lin didn't care about the bad smell in the car. She rolled up the window early, took out the fruit knife she had prepared in advance from her calf, held it in her palm, and waited with her back tense for the zombies to pounce on her.

The RV continued to move forward, quickly shortening the distance between it and the oncoming zombies.

It’s coming!

Lin gritted her teeth, her heart almost jumping out of her chest at the sight. She should either speed up and rush forward, or go back. Why was she still insisting on fighting?

"The zombies are coming!"

"Yeah, that's okay."

"How can it be okay? This isn't bulletproof glass. They're surrounding me and I can't run away!"

“It’s better than that.”

"Don't joke, let's change the route now while we're not surrounded—"

etc!

"Bang."

The zombie in front hit something and was bounced back!

Lin fell on the front windshield with a thud, her jaw hanging low as if she had seen something outrageous.

She couldn't help but raise her voice and scream - "How is this possible?!"

Xia Yan stretched his left arm out of the window, feeling the slight tickle of the breeze sliding across his fingers. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Everything is possible."

Lin's body shook violently, and she looked around the RV and found that the zombies could not get within five meters around the car!

And ignore their existence!

Lin looked at the zombies that were pushed away and roared, pounced on the iron car that was forced to move and bit it wildly. The shock in her heart was simply beyond words.

Faintly, she seemed to hear again the words that protected her personal safety...

Y-junction.

"Lin, don't be distracted. Show me the way."

Xia Yan said this lightly, glanced casually at the opposite side, suddenly stepped on the accelerator and then stepped on the brake.

A strong push on her back came over her. If she hadn't been wearing a seat belt, Lin was sure that she would have hit her head and broken the glass.

“…”

Xia Yan smiled so hard that his teeth were not visible, and raised his chin to signal her to look.

Jinshe Jewelry Store.

She pulled the handbrake, unbuckled her seat belt, pushed open the car door and prepared to get out, then turned around as if she had thought of something.

"Will you come with me?"

Lin looked at the shop with its doorway wide open, which was in a mess.

She wasn't interested in gold and silver, and those things were useless now. After thinking it over again and again, she shook her head and said, "I'll wait for you here. Be careful."

"Okay." Xia Yan jumped out of the car, picked up a split baseball bat, weighed it up and down in his hand, and walked in.

The store has two floors, with large floor-to-ceiling windows. There is a whole row of glass cabinets by the windows, as well as models displaying accessories. The interior is exquisitely and luxuriously decorated, with thick, distinctive carpets covering the entire floor from the entrance to the upper floors.

You can imagine how dazzling this store was at that time.

What a pity.

The glass display case was violently smashed, with all the drawers and doors wide open. Inside, red and black bracelets were mixed together, delicate packaging bags were thrown on the ground, and there were spray marks on the wall.

Two or three corpses dressed in shop assistant uniforms lay in the corner, their limbs bent at strange angles, their eyes and mouths wide open, and a black bullet hole on their foreheads.

The soles of his shoes made a clear clicking sound as they stepped on the thick glass. He hadn't taken a few steps when he heard a heart-wrenching roar from upstairs, and the sound of chaotic footsteps approaching like a rainstorm.

Soon, dozens of highly decayed faces flashed by in the stairwell, crowding and pressing forward.

Lin, sitting in the RV, turned pale. With trembling hands, she rolled down the window, stuck her head out, and yelled with all her might, "Come back quickly! Zombies are coming!!"

Xia Yan paused while digging through the broken glass and turned to look at her, confusion still in his eyes. "Who's here?"

"Zombies! Zombies are coming!!"

Without time to think, Lin suddenly opened the car door and jumped down, almost falling. She staggered two steps and ran towards her position. With the rapid secretion of adrenaline, her heart was beating so fast that it was about to burst her chest.

Her eyes clearly reflected the approaching zombie behind Boss Xia, its purple fingers about to touch her back and drag her down to devour her alive...

It's too late.

Lin breathed in fear, her empty eyes looking in despair, as if she saw through her body another person, who was also surrounded by zombies, being torn and bitten to pieces in a place she didn't know.

Eventually, he turned into a horrible zombie and was hit on the head by a passing psychic, who took out the crystal core in his head.

No.

Lin slumped to the ground, shaking all over like a fallen leaf wanting to return to its roots in late autumn.
