Chapter 267 Passing Through a Zombie Forest (+29)

After filling their tanks, the three vehicles did not head towards remote roads, but instead drove straight into the city.

Changshi is a fourth-tier city, not particularly prosperous, and it has seven county-level cities under its jurisdiction. At this moment, they belong to a county in the suburbs, and on the very edge of that county, in a completely remote corner.

The car returned to the village streets from yesterday. Since the zombies had been cleared out, the journey was relatively smooth.

Once outside the town, there were significantly more roadblocks, cars everywhere, and even a fire broke out in one of the fields on either side of the road due to the hot weather.

Fortunately, the place was open, so even if a fire started, it wouldn't spread to other areas.

The sound of a car attracted all the nearby zombies, but they were all level two, and the others could handle them.

Even Liu Xiuping and the others, each carrying a knife, got out of the car to help. The five of them worked together within a safe area to kill a level-two zombie.

When Chen Xiaoying killed a zombie for the first time, even a level two zombie, her eyes lit up.

"Dad, I killed a level 2 zombie!"

"Yes." Uncle Chen was very pleased: "Xiaoying is great."

He can't protect her forever, so Chen Xiaoying has to be strong on her own. Even if she's just an ordinary person, she has to be a capable one and not be bullied by others.

It is especially difficult for women to survive in the apocalypse.

After clearing out the zombies along this short stretch of road, the car continued forward. The closer the car got to more populated areas, the more zombies it encountered.

At first, they could get out of the car to help clear the zombies, but later only Ling Ran could do it, while the others helped clear the roadblocks.

The car drove on the deserted road, and the zombies seemed not to hear or smell it, letting the car pass by them, even running right into them, without reacting.

Pei Xiu watched this scene and exclaimed, "This is amazing! Passing through a horde of zombies without getting a single leaf on you."

Thanks to Ling Ran's help, the car's speed increased for the first time.

Soon they arrived at a bustling street in the county. It was a pedestrian street lined with clothing stores, the middle of the road was filled with a dense chain of cars that had collided, and both sides were teeming with zombies.

Even a large base, even if it mobilized all its ability users, probably wouldn't dare to come to a place like this.

There are just too many zombies. To put it bluntly, a single spit from one zombie could drown them.

Before the apocalypse, this place was crowded with people; after the apocalypse, it's now teeming with zombies—just as lively as ever.

There are banks at the beginning, middle, and end of the pedestrian street.

Gu Zijing parked the car in front of a bank and turned to ask Ling Ran, "Sir, shall we get out of the car now?"

"Okay, let's get off the bus."

No one doubted her, and they got out of the car without question. Although they believed in the adult's abilities, their bodies still tensed up instinctively when they got out of the car and saw the zombies around them.

Once their feet touched the ground, the zombies still ignored them, and Gu Zijing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

The group went into the bank to look for a generator. Pei Xiu didn't go with them. Seeing that the zombies ignored him, he excitedly crossed the street and went to a snack shop across from the bank.

After he went inside and took a look, he found that all the snacks were still packaged. He quickly waved to Ling Ran and said silently, "Sister, come quickly."

"This fool," Ling Ran said speechlessly, "You can speak."

"Sis, there are so many snacks here, come and collect them."

Liu Xiuping and the others were initially afraid, but seeing Pei Xiu running around, they couldn't resist and got out of the car one after another to search for supplies nearby.
