Chapter 332 Separation from Qingyu
The Zombie King glanced at the corpse on the ground, then at his blood-stained right hand, his expression remaining unchanged.
Now that Yue Zongyang is dead, he has killed the person he most wanted to kill, but instead of feeling happy, he feels somewhat melancholy.
Unwittingly, he saw his reflection in the shards of glass on the ground.
Looking at this face, so different from before, he fell into deep thought.
"It's too late, it's too late..."
He repeated the sentence once again.
"Teacher, now that I have chosen this path, there is no turning back."
"No matter what the final outcome is, I can only keep going."
After he finished speaking, he took a deep look at Yue Zongyang's corpse, then slowly turned around and walked out step by step.
"Teacher, don't worry, you will never be alone on the road to the underworld."
"Aren't you most concerned about those humans? Then... I'll send all the humans down to join you."
As the voice faded, the zombie king untied the chains binding his arms.
He dragged the scythe behind him and walked straight towards the escape route...
...
Meanwhile, after squeezing through the escape tunnel for so long with the help of the flashing indicator lights, Han Shuo finally saw a glimmer of light ahead.
That led to the outside world. Without the slightest hesitation, he quickened his pace and rushed out of the escape tunnel.
By now, dawn was breaking outside; the night was finally over…
Han Shuo saw the familiar sky once again. He knew that after spending so much time, he had finally escaped safely from the underground research institute.
Indeed, no zombies were found in the surrounding area, and the 10-kilometer-long escape tunnel successfully allowed everyone to break through to the rear of the death army.
Han Shuo took out a compass and quickly determined the direction.
He noticed that the tire tracks on the ground extended in a northwest direction, and the flow of people ahead was also moving in that direction.
"Phew~"
He took a deep breath and continued moving forward with Qingyu and the others, panting heavily.
But he stopped very soon.
"Brother Qingyu, I must take my leave now."
"Um?"
Qingyu let out a soft exclamation and quickly turned around and ran over.
He said, frowning.
"What's going on? Aren't you coming with us to escape?"
Han Shuo shook his head, pointed to the distance, and said.
"I need to go in that direction to meet up with Brother Yao Nan first. Also, Fatty and Xiao Zhao should be heading in that direction as well."
He pointed due west, while the main force that Qingyu and the others were chasing was heading northwest.
"Okay, I understand."
Qingyu nodded, indicating her understanding.
He thought for a moment, then waved and called Zheng Deliang over.
"Han Shuo, wait a moment. Liangzi, get a map out."
"Yes, Captain!"
Zheng Deliang quickly took out a map from his backpack, and then found a pen and handed it over.
After taking the map, Qingyu quickly marked several routes on it and then handed the map to Han Shuo.
After thinking for a moment, he stuffed his military backpack into Han Shuo's arms; it contained some useful tools.
"Han Shuo, after I have coordinated with the survivors ahead, I will choose a route marked on the map to proceed."
"Although we cannot yet determine the exact route, the general location is to the west."
"Once all your people have gathered, you must come and find us."
After the words were spoken, Han Shuo nodded solemnly and then put the map into his pocket.
"Well then, Brother Qingyu, see you later!"
After he finished speaking, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qingyu, then, without wasting any more time, turned around and quickly ran westward.
As Qingyu watched Han Shuo's departing figure, she silently offered a blessing in her heart.
"You little rascal, you'd better live on safely."
The next second, he looked away, waved to the soldiers behind him, and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, let's go! Follow me and catch up with the main force ahead!"
"Yes, Captain!"
A group of people ran quickly toward the northwest.
Although Qingyu looked exhausted, his eyes were incredibly determined.
He wanted to fulfill the director's last wish and lead all the survivors who had escaped the underground research institute to continue living...
In fact, when the two of them parted ways, they both knew one thing in their hearts.
That is to say, after this separation, it will be extremely difficult for the two to meet again.
After all, even if both sides have the idea of coming together, how easy is it to do so on such a vast land?
...
On the other side, Han Shuo was traveling alone in the due west direction.
Soon, he could no longer see anyone else in his field of vision.
His mind raced as he quickly assessed the current situation of everyone outside.
He knew that, compared to the East, retreating westward was definitely the more correct choice now.
Because, in this territory, the only eastern horizon is the sea.
If the Zombie King wins the battle against Yue Zongyang, he will definitely lead that legion of death to continue advancing.
If the zombie king chooses to advance eastward, then the survivors currently located there will likely not live much longer.
Because if they were to be blocked by the Legion of Death and caught between the Legion of Death and the sea, they would have no way to retreat...
Given the current situation, with scarce resources and an unstable environment, blindly seeking a boat to drift on the high seas would certainly be a suicidal act.
The West is different; at least there are still large tracts of land there.
They can keep running and running...
The chances of survival are higher on land.
It was precisely for this reason that Han Shuo chose the west as the meeting point with Cheng Shenghong on that day.
As for Qingyu's final advice to him:
After gathering his friends, he went to find him.
Han Shuo did not yet have a clear answer in his heart at this moment.
In his view, there were both advantages and disadvantages to everyone going to join the large force led by Qingyu!
This is a problem that he still needs to discuss with others and plan carefully later.
At this point, Han Shuo was too lazy to think about it anymore.
For him, the most important thing now is to see if he can catch up with Fatty and the others on the road.
"Everyone, you must live safely."
...
Unbeknownst to him, after running out of the escape tunnel, Han Shuo followed a small path westward for about three kilometers.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to spot a white figure moving rapidly in the opposite direction from him.
Han Shuo stopped in his tracks and quickly took out his binoculars from his backpack.
He peeled back the cover and gazed into the distance, frowning as he muttered to himself.
"The man in white? Is he also from the underground research institute? I don't think I've seen him before..."
...
