The zombies roared and rushed towards him at an astonishing speed. Xiao Yi quickly dodged a zombie's attack and then stabbed its head accurately with a backhanded knife. The zombie let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground.
However, this was only the beginning. More zombies followed, surrounding Xiao Yi and attacking him continuously. Xiao Yi brandished his dagger and engaged in a desperate fight with the zombies. He nimbly dodged the zombies' bites and scratches, while looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
In this fierce battle, Xiao Yi's physical strength was gradually exhausted. But he knew that he could not give up. He gritted his teeth and persisted, using all his strength every time he swung his sword. Finally, after a hard-fought battle, he successfully knocked the last zombie to the ground.
Xiao Yi leaned against the wall, panting, looking at the zombie corpses on the ground, his heart filled with fatigue and relief. He knew that he had overcome another difficult hurdle. He looked into the distance, a determined light flashing in his eyes, and continued on the road to the base.
On the edge of the desolate city, the night was as heavy as ink. Only scattered firelight flickered in the darkness, illuminating countless pairs of empty and greedy eyes—the gazes of zombies. Atop this ruin, a nimble man was racing against fate. He was Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi, once a top agent in the city, possessed both nimbleness and meticulous intelligence. However, in the face of this sudden disaster, his abilities seemed to be ruthlessly weakened. The zombies surged like a tidal wave, and no matter how he wielded his weapons, he could not stop their advance.
Sweat and fatigue were intertwined on his face, and every breath seemed extremely heavy. Xiao Yi knew that he could not fall here, he had to find a way to escape. At this moment, his eyes caught a glimpse of a narrow and hidden path, which meandered upwards and led to the distant mountaintop.
The opportunity was right in front of him, and Xiao Yi rushed forward without hesitation. His footsteps pounded the gravel with a firm rhythm, and every step seemed to be a race against death. The zombies were confused by his sudden turn. After a brief pause, they roared again and followed him like hungry beasts.
The mountain road was rugged, but Xiao Yi, relying on his extraordinary physical fitness and rich experience, advanced swiftly and steadily. He dared not slack off for a moment, as the zombies behind him were gradually closing the gap with him. Every time he looked back, he could feel the endless darkness and despair quietly approaching.
However, Xiao Yi did not give up. He knew that only by persisting could he find a glimmer of hope. He kept telling himself to believe in his own abilities and to believe that there was still hope in this world.
With this belief, Xiao Yi finally reached the top of the mountain. He looked back and saw the zombies retreating like a tide, leaving behind only a mess of ruins and endless darkness. He breathed a sigh of relief, and the burden in his heart seemed to be released at this moment.
However, Xiao Yi knew that this was just the beginning. He had to keep moving forward, looking for more survivors and facing this disaster together. He stood up and looked at the faint dawn in the distance, his heart filled with determination and hope.
From that moment on, Xiao Yi became a warrior in this city. He demonstrated human resilience and courage through his actions. And the path leading up the mountain became a legend in this city. Whenever people mentioned it, they would think of the figure running in the darkness—Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi finally escaped the zombies' pursuit and arrived breathlessly in front of a small cabin on the mountain. The night was as dark as ink, and the only sounds in the silence were his heavy breathing and the occasional zombie roars in the distance. He looked up and saw that the door of the cabin was closed, with a faint light shining through, like a ray of hope in the darkness.
Xiao Yi knocked gently on the door, but there was no response from inside. He hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door hard and found that it was not locked. He walked in carefully, every step was extremely cautious, for fear of disturbing the unknown danger that might exist in the wooden house.
The interior of the cabin was simple but tidy. A worn wooden bed was placed against the wall, covered with simple bedding. In the corner were some daily necessities. Although not much, they were enough to meet basic living needs. Xiao Yi looked around and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was safe.
He felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body, exhaustion washing over him like a tide. He walked to the bed and gently lay down on it. Although the bed was hard, it felt like an incredibly comfortable haven for him at that moment. He closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, he seemed to have returned to a time before zombies, a time without fear or despair. He dreamed of himself standing in the sun, surrounded by the smiling faces of his family and friends. Together, they enjoyed the beauty of life, free from worries. However, when he woke up, he found himself back in this world full of danger and uncertainty.
Xiao Yi opened his eyes and saw the dim light and mottled walls of the wooden house. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, feeling the soreness and fatigue in his body. He knew that he could not stay here for long and had to find other survivors as soon as possible to face this disaster together.
He stood up, stretched his body, and began to search the cabin for useful items. He found some food, water, and some simple tools. He packed these items into his backpack and prepared to continue on his way.
Before leaving, he glanced back at the cabin. Though simple, it had given him a brief moment of peace and rest. Filled with gratitude, he silently bid it farewell. Then, he shouldered his backpack and set out on a new journey.
