(This is a strong female lead story with a fast-paced, action-packed plot that turns into an apocalypse. Absolutely no frustrating moments! If you find any illogical parts, feel free to leave a comment, and I'll revise it in my next book.)
(Thank you everyone for clicking. It's fate that we met, haha.)
"Sister, I've grown quite attached to you after seeing you survive for so long. I'm a little reluctant to part with you."
Jiang Si held a syringe, and the blood inside looked even more eerie under the light.
She shook her head slightly, then changed the subject, "But I'm sorry to say, today is your death day. The outcome between us is either you die or I live, there is no other way."
The older sister Jiang Si mentioned is Jiang Qingwan.
Jiang Qingwan was left in a corner of the laboratory, her hands bound.
She didn't look at Jiang Si; her eyes were empty, like a stagnant pool, as she casually stared at the gleaming floor in front of her.
Jiang Qingwan neither begged for mercy nor made any unnecessary movements.
Only the slight movement of his lips, "In this apocalyptic world, you still put on this show of humans killing each other. How long will you live after I die?"
Jiang Si approached Jiang Qingwan, reached out and lifted Jiang Qingwan's chin, leaned close to her, and said loudly.
"Don't try to wake me up, I've been out there longer than you. Blame it on you, you've been blocking my way since I was born."
"Do you think this is the first time I've done this? Remember how you almost died trying to escape last time?"
"That bridge is related to me."
"What a pity, you're really lucky to be alive."
Jiang Si's voice rose and fell dramatically, as if she were giving a grand speech.
A gray sky.
On the empty streets, the howling wind mingled with the low, hoarse roar of a pickup truck flooring the accelerator.
The thick layer of discolored blood is the paint job on this pickup truck, a testament to humanity's temporary victory.
As the pickup truck drove along the concrete road, grayish-blue zombies would occasionally leap out from both sides, acting like clueless fools who didn't know how to avoid the vehicle, baring their teeth and claws as they pounced on the speeding car.
Suddenly, an enlarged, withered, bluish-gray face appeared on the windshield, with completely white eye sockets, a wide-open mouth revealing sharp, pointed teeth, and occasionally a piece or two of bright red flesh would fall out from between the teeth.
Snap—
Another zombie was knocked away.
However, this is not the last one.
A horde of zombies, seemingly tireless and running tirelessly, followed closely behind the car.
"This won't do, the car's almost out of gas." The passenger looked at the dashboard with a worried expression.
"Why are you still chasing after it?"
"I don't know why."
"This can't go on forever, let's take a gamble."
Jiang Qingwan nodded. As the strongest fighter in the team, she naturally took the lead.
Jiang Qingwan opened the sunroof of the car, mobilized all her supernatural abilities to condense a huge ball of lightning, and held it high above her head.
"Now—" Based on her years of combat experience, Jiang Qingwan seized the opportunity and loudly alerted her companions.
The car window suddenly opened, and a slightly smaller water ball followed the powerful lightning ball as it crashed into the horde of zombies behind them.
The electric current surged through the water, producing several crackling sounds, and a large number of zombies collapsed.
Amidst the charred remains of the zombie horde, an arm occasionally twitches slightly, struggles in vain, and then falls limply.
"Well done!" Jiang Qingwan retreated back into the pickup truck, watching the brilliant maneuver executed with perfect teamwork with her partner, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Yes, that's right." Everyone celebrated that they had escaped a disaster.
"Oh no—" The driver slammed on the brakes, but to no avail.
The bridge, teetering on the brink of collapse, crumbled and broke.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness and fear froze everyone's smiles.
The pickup truck crashed heavily onto the thick ice beneath the bridge, amidst a hail of flying stones.
The wind-elemental ability user in the team mustered the last bit of power to barely hold on for a moment.
"Can the car still be driven?" Jiang Qingwan regained her composure.
Upon hearing this, the driver tentatively pressed the accelerator lightly, and the car started. But it wobbled and swayed, as if it were about to fall apart.
"It's possible, but the situation isn't good. Even a slight increase in speed will probably cause it to fail," the driver said, drawing on his years of driving experience.
"Let's just make do with this for now."
"Okay." The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly, focused on the road ahead, and slowly moved towards the base gate.
Two kilometers.
One kilometer.
The last 500 meters.
Suddenly, a row of soldiers appeared on the base wall, holding bows and arrows, which were drawn wide open and shot like meteors toward the back of the car Jiang Qingwan was riding in.
On the command tower, the staff on duty used the common post-apocalyptic sign language: "You are followed by a bunch of zombies. You can only enter the city after you have eliminated them."
Jiang Qingwan turned her head to look.
In the distance behind the car, countless strangely shaped black shadows were moving silently.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were a group of hideous zombies. This group was clearly led by a zombie leader and was organized and planned.
Unlike the previous zombies that rampaged and slaughtered relentlessly.
In addition, everyone's focus was on the condition of the pickup truck itself, so no one noticed it.
Fortunately, these zombies were too cautious and didn't rush at us directly, otherwise, we wouldn't have had enough strength left to sustain this battle.
Jiang Qingwan made an OK sign inside the car to indicate that she understood.
"Follow Plan One, kill the zombies in the distance," Jiang Qingwan instructed.
Even though everyone was on high alert as the car neared the point of being totaled, they didn't use their superpowers much and recovered somewhat.
Now, as they approach the city gate, another group of people joins the battle, and the superpowered individuals immediately display their unique abilities.
Lightning coalesced into a massive net, approaching the horde of zombies at the speed of light. The electric current spread from one zombie to many, and even zombies with insufficient defense were electrocuted and collapsed.
