However, Xu Anran ignored his explanations, her eyes flashing with determination and resentment. Without hesitation, she pulled out a gun, aimed at the blond-haired man, and pulled the trigger. With a crisp gunshot, the blond-haired man fell to the ground and was then ruthlessly thrown down.

Panic gripped the surrounding crowd. Everyone stared at Xu Anran in disbelief, their faces filled with shock and fear. Some rushed to call for help, and the scene descended into chaos and devastation.

At this critical moment, Xiao Feng was about to collapse, his body swaying precariously, as if he would fall into the endless tide of zombies at any moment.

Xu Anran was frantic with worry and was about to jump down to save Xiaofeng. However, Xu Liang, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped her and shouted anxiously, "If you go down now, not only will you not be able to save him, you'll also lose your life!"

Xu Anran stared intently at Xu Liang, her eyes revealing unwavering determination and resolve. She took a deep breath and answered resolutely, "I know what I'm doing. I definitely have a way to save Xiaofeng. Trust me! Go to the shelter and wait for my news. I'll contact you."

After saying that, she forcefully shook off Xu Liang's hand that was tightly holding her, and without the slightest hesitation, like a brave and fearless bird, she resolutely jumped down.

The wind whistled past her ears, and Xu Anran's heart leaped into her throat, but she was not defeated by fear. On the contrary, she firmly believed that she could successfully rescue Xiaofeng. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world consisted only of her resolute and determined figure…

Everyone watched in disbelief as Xu Anran leaped into the air, lunging towards Xiao Feng, who was dangling precariously. She clung tightly to Xiao Feng, as if using all her strength to protect this fragile life. However, fate seemed to have no mercy on them; the two of them plummeted together into the dense, countless horde of zombies below.

Xu Liang stood atop the horde, calling out their names with a hoarse voice, his voice filled with panic. His eyes were wide, staring intently at the zombie-infested area below, his mind blank. The sight before him made it impossible for him to imagine the horrific ordeal Xu Anran would face after jumping into the zombie horde.

For a fleeting moment, he impulsively wanted to follow Xu Anran and jump, but the reason deep within him held him back like a powerful force. He could only stand there, frozen like a statue, unable to move an inch for a long time.

Fan Yunfei, who witnessed all of this, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret. How he wished Xu Anran were safe and sound! He was both shocked and felt it was a waste of Xu Anran's selfless act of saving others.

Knowing full well that her actions would not save anyone, she still jumped in without hesitation, even at the cost of her own life. This seemingly foolish and naive act filled Fan Yunfei with respect—he deeply admired Xu Anran's fearless courage and unwavering faith.

Finally, as the entire group gradually disappeared into the distance, Fan Yunfei slowly walked to Xu Liang's side and softly comforted him, "Don't be sad anymore, let's hurry up and set off. Didn't Xu Anran tell you to go to the shelter and wait for her? Then trust her, maybe she really can miraculously survive." With that, Fan Yunfei pulled Xu Liang up and continued onward with the group that was gradually moving away.

Although their hearts were still heavy, they knew that only by moving forward could they find hope for survival. As for Xu Anran's fate, they could only silently pray and hope that the brave girl could create her own miracle.

Did Xu Anran and Xiao Feng die after jumping?

Of course not!

Just as Xu Anran leaped, she swiftly grabbed Xiao Feng and pulled him tightly into her arms. As they were about to hit the ground, at the critical moment, she quickly retrieved a motorcycle from her spatial storage and transformed it into an incredibly sturdy shock-absorbing ball, completely encasing the two of them inside.

However, because their location was partially obscured by the bridge, those above couldn't see the true situation below. Therefore, everyone mistakenly believed they were dead.

Inside the shock-absorbing sphere, Xu Anran and Xiao Feng huddled together. Xiao Feng, tears streaming down his face, sobbed, "Sister Anran, did we really survive?" Xu Anran smiled slightly and replied softly, "At least for now, it seems so, but escaping from here won't be easy."

Xiao Feng was emotional, alternating between crying and laughing, his face flushed red. He choked out, "Thank you, Sister An'an. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be dead."

"I promised your grandfather I would protect you. Hurry up and wipe away your tears, little man. Now we need to figure out how to escape from here." After saying that, Xu Anran gently patted Xiao Feng's head as if to comfort him.

After a while, Xu Anran found the control panel of the shock-absorbing sphere. When her eyes fell on the button labeled "Move," she tried pressing it. Instantly, an amazing scene unfolded—two mechanical legs, as flexible as human legs, extended from the bottom of the shock-absorbing sphere! This meant they could move freely, but the surrounding area was swarming with densely packed, hideous zombies, blocking their path and making every step forward extremely difficult.

As she continued exploring the control panel, she discovered an option called "Open," and noticed a size rating next to it. On a whim, she clicked and selected the smallest size. At her specified location, the shock absorber slowly opened a small opening, no bigger than a baseball.

Through the narrow opening, Xu Anran skillfully maneuvered her laser gun, accurately firing at the zombies blocking her path. Meanwhile, Xiao Feng actively assisted, clearing obstacles in their way.

Time ticked by, and night quietly fell. After a long and arduous journey, they had only covered a third of the distance. Exhausted, Xiao Feng complained, "This is too slow! It's already completely dark." Hearing this, Xu Anran encouraged him, "Don't be discouraged. We're lucky to have survived. Besides, we've made such great progress today. If we persevere for two more days, we'll definitely escape!"

By this time, both of them were completely exhausted. After drinking a few sips of water to replenish their strength, they fell asleep inside the small but relatively safe shock-absorbing sphere...
