The two asked Luo Xi which floor she lived on, and she said she lived on the 6th floor. Just then, they heard a commotion downstairs, and looking down, they saw a convoy of rescue vehicles.

Upon arrival, they quickly engaged in combat, eliminating all the zombies roaming the neighborhood. Next, they methodically organized the survivors and instructed them to follow them. Those who had cars were told to drive themselves and follow the convoy, while those without cars rode in the military trucks behind.

Luo Xi followed the two downstairs and sat down together. Hearing their conversation, he vaguely heard words like "Old K" and "mutual aid society".

So she said softly to the two of them, "Are you from the Mutual Aid Association? Me too." Seeing that they were both looking at her, she showed them the group chat on her phone. After seeing the Mutual Aid Association's group chat, their eyes became friendly, and they introduced themselves. One of them said, "My name is He Nian, and his name is Dong Jiahao. We are college classmates and were introduced to the Mutual Aid Association by original members in the previous world."

Luo Xi introduced herself, saying that she had been brought in by another passenger she knew. Then, she asked the two if she could team up with them to enter the base and take care of each other along the way. The two looked at the young girl in front of them and thought that lending a hand and looking after each other would be helpful, so they readily agreed.

Along the way, they talked about the messages in the group chat, learned that the Shanghai base had fallen, and also talked about Old K, saying that he was very resourceful and always managed to get important information to tell everyone, and that many passengers had escaped the disaster because of this information.

Luo Xi couldn't help but ask curiously, "This Old K is amazing. Do you know who he is?" Between the two of them, He Nian said, "Old K is quite mysterious. No one has ever seen him, but the core members of the mutual aid society should have."

"Core members? What's that?" Seeing that Luo Xi knew nothing, He Nian replied, "The mutual aid society used to have missions. Those who performed well in the missions would be selected as core members. Then they could directly team up and act together in the waiting hall of the high-speed rail." He then told her a lot more about the mutual aid society and the information he had obtained from it.

At this moment, Dong Jiahao, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Look at the group messages, Old K has posted another announcement."

The two quickly turned on their phones and saw that Old K had posted in the group chat:

[Dear members of the mutual aid group, this announcement is very important for those who haven't found their train tickets yet or have found them but have a long countdown ahead.]

The zombies have been unusually active lately, and the Shanghai base has fallen. In two months, the zombies will evolve to have the same intelligence and thought processes as humans. This means they will no longer be easily killed, nor will they be attracted by sound. Not only will they have the same intelligence as humans, but their eyesight will also be restored. Therefore, please take care of yourselves and find tickets to leave this place as soon as possible. Good luck!

Upon seeing the message, everyone in the group tensed up and became serious. Those who had not yet found tickets were as anxious as ants on a hot plate and immediately took action. Those with long-haul tickets also dared not delay and hurriedly searched for other faster trains, hoping to escape this place as soon as possible.

At this moment, the group chat was buzzing with excitement. Some were already shouting to recruit teammates, while others anxiously inquired if anyone had extra tickets to exchange...

After sending the message, Xu Anran looked at the group of people gathered around her and said, "Let's not delay, let's get started!" Everyone nodded in agreement. Then, the group immediately headed towards the nearby shopping mall.

Rewind two weeks. At that moment, they worked together to evacuate the lakeside and retraced their steps back to the broken bridge, climbing back up. When they saw the RV that had been parked there still safely in its original spot, they were all delighted and immediately returned to the vehicle.

Given that Fan Yunfei's train ticket still had six months remaining, after careful consideration, everyone finally decided to go to the nearby East China base. With the decision made, they immediately started the RV.

On the way, Xu Anran was worried about the evolution of zombies, and it just so happened that she had reached the point where she could have precognitive dreams, so she started to dream.

In the dream: In this hazy dream world, a small base stood silently beneath the inky blackness of night. Suddenly, several figures, like ghosts, stealthily scaled the wall and slipped inside. They swiftly struck down the base's guards and mercilessly bound them. Then, they opened the gates, letting the roaming zombies outside pour into the base.

However, when Xu Anran looked closely, she was surprised to find that the attackers were actually zombies! However, compared to ordinary zombies, their faces were abnormally pale and bloodless, but otherwise, their appearance was almost indistinguishable from normal humans. The zombies placed in the base immediately pounced on the humans, unleashing a brutal attack.

Even more terrifying, these cunning zombies used the same methods to destroy several small bases in the vicinity. By listening to their conversations, Xu Anran learned that they were plotting to turn all of humanity into zombies, and then wait for the zombies to further evolve into "new humans" like themselves!

Xu Anran suddenly opened her eyes, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and then recounted her premonition to everyone around her.

After some discussion, they finally decided that the first thing to do was to post the news that zombies were evolving in the group so that more people could be prepared.

Recalling the terrifying scenes in her dream, Xu Anran frowned and said worriedly, "These monsters, evolved from ordinary zombies, actually call themselves 'new humans,' and they've even devised a horrifying plan—to breach all the bases and turn all humans into zombies like themselves! In that case, should we still continue our journey to the bases?"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Fan Yunfei. Among this group, only Fan Yunfei held a ticket for a train departing six months later. This meant that if he couldn't find an earlier ticket, he was highly likely to encounter those so-called "new humans" head-on.

Fan Yunfei naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Xu Anran's words. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I remember there's a large shopping mall nearby. Perhaps we can go there to collect some necessary supplies. At the same time, I'll keep an eye out for new train tickets along the way. If we really can't find suitable ones, after you leave, I plan to drive the RV and hide in the wilderness until the train departs."

After hearing Fan Yunfei's arrangement, Xu Anran thought the plan was feasible. So, without further hesitation, they immediately set off for the mall.
