After seeing Magna had gotten into the car, Xu Mo held the steering wheel firmly with both hands, skillfully changed gears and stepped on the accelerator. The car started slowly and drove out of the garage.
——
The sun hung high in the center of the sky, casting its scorching rays.
A red car was driving smoothly on a road. On both sides of the road were emerald green trees, their branches swaying in the wind, as if waving to the passing vehicles.
Soon, they passed a sign that read Route 43.
There was a family of four in the car: a couple, their son and daughter.
In the driver's seat, a middle-aged man frowned slightly, one hand firmly gripping the steering wheel while the other gently adjusted the radio's reception frequency. His eyes were focused, occasionally glancing at the road ahead.
Soon, a noise came from the radio, like the sound of radio waves jumping in the air. Then, a broadcast was received.
“Sizzle… Sizzle…”
"Zizizi... This is the Stone Shelter broadcast. We're located at the old Stone High School in the southern suburbs of Charleston, North Carolina. Zizizizi... Our shelter team has established fortifications here. It's very safe and reliable. We currently have over 300 residents and an experienced guard team to ensure that every resident in the shelter can live safely. We have sufficient food, medical resources, and shelter facilities. You and your family will no longer have to worry about survival."
“Sizzle… Sizzle…”
"At the Stun Zi Zi... shelter, you will receive a steady supply of food, safe shelter, and medical care. Our leader, Councillor Budd, is a highly respected and impartial man who, along with his team, is committed to protecting every survivor who comes here."
"If you have professional skills, such as a medical, mechanical, engineering or educational background, or have other available resources, we would very much welcome you to join our family. Stone Shelter will give special respect and rewards to members who contribute."
“Zizizizi…”
"This place is far away from the dangers of zombies and the wilderness. Join the Charleston Refuge and you will no longer be wandering. Bring your family and walk along the highway in the southern suburbs of Charleston. The door of the refuge is always open to everyone who seeks peace and order."
"Zizizi... Stone Shelter, protecting you and your future."
“Zizizizi…”
“Zizizi…”
"Dad, how long until we get to the Stone Shelter?"
In the back seat of the red car, a boy of fifteen or sixteen leaned forward slightly and asked the man in the driver's seat. His eyes were full of anticipation, as if that was his promised land.
"Well, we're still about thirty miles away from the Stone Shelter. Maybe another forty minutes."
The person who answered him was the middle-aged woman sitting in the passenger seat, the mother of two children in the family of four. She turned her head and looked at her son with gentle eyes and a smile on her face.
"Daddy, Mommy, is it really safe over there?"
The speaker was a little girl, no more than ten years old, sitting in the back seat. Her voice was childish and full of worry. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at her parents in the front seat.
"Of course, sweetheart, there is a shelter for more than 300 people there, it must be very safe." The man in the driver's seat turned around with a smile, his eyes full of doting, looking at his daughter.
"Weris, be careful!" At this moment, the woman sitting in the passenger seat suddenly exclaimed, her voice sharp and rapid, her face full of fear.
Upon hearing his wife's words, the man known as Werris's expression suddenly changed. He quickly turned around and looked out the front window. He saw a deer suddenly rush out from the woods beside the road and ran into the middle of the road just a few meters in front of the car.
Seeing this scene, a trace of panic flashed in Weris's eyes, but he quickly calmed down, stepped on the brakes, and turned the steering wheel with both hands.
