However, Liu Yanran's life, which she didn't value, was also not valued by others.
Instinctively, everyone protected their own lives, but the people in the car with Liu Yanran were the strongest force in the team.
Despite such pressure, they managed to carve out a path, pushing aside the vehicles blocking their way and breaking through the blockade. Others were responsible for dealing with the zombies that approached the vehicles.
Instead, they broke through the encirclement unscathed.
Seeing this, Liu Yanran visibly breathed a sigh of relief, praised the people in the car, and took out her walkie-talkie to encourage the remaining people.
With the gap created by this car, the cars behind followed closely behind.
They arrived in a large group of over 30 vehicles, but now only a dozen or so have sporadically emerged. However, they haven't escaped danger, as the horde of corpses, lacking any other vehicles or people to distract them, has caught up with them all at once.
Soon, the vehicles of the civilians who had fled were also caught up and quickly swallowed up by the horde of zombies. They shook their vehicles, smashed the windows, and screamed in terror, their howls mingling with the roars of the zombies, creating a truly terrifying scene.
Only Li Li's vehicle, which was far ahead of several other cars, found a side road and drove off. But after getting off at the side road, he stopped his car on his own initiative because he saw Zhao Yong and the others blocking the side road.
He led his men to Zhao Yong's side, knelt down, and said with snot running down his face, "Brother Yong, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
"Please give us a chance to come back to you and Sister Yiyi. We were blind and made a terrible mistake."
The people behind them also knelt down, kowtowing and apologizing repeatedly.
Zhao Yong looked at them, neither offering help nor readily forgiving them. If betrayal were so easily forgiven, then you would be betrayed countless times.
Zhao Yong was not talkative to begin with, and his cold demeanor only added to their psychological pressure.
Li Li and the others had been kowtowing and repenting, but when they received no response, he looked at Zhao Yong somewhat helplessly. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Brother Yong, just you wait and see. I'll go and wipe them out. I won't let them threaten Wangjiagou."
After Li Li finished speaking, he led the people behind him to get into the car and return to deal with the people who had escaped from the other side.
"Never mind," Zhao Yong said, sounding as if he were sighing.
"Let's lie in ambush over there," Zhao Yong said, pointing to the haystack across the way.
"Okay," Li Li replied, and led his men to the other side to lie in ambush.
Liu Yanran's encouragement did have some effect, and coupled with their desire to survive, they actually managed to escape from the zombie horde. However, they had no incendiary bombs or any coordinated teamwork; they just kept running. Some of them returned along the original highway, while others came down the small road.
Unfortunately, Liu Yanran and her group came down from the side path. They were accompanied by the people from the first aid station.
It's not that Liu Yanran is completely brainless. In this situation, he was still thinking that although he had suffered heavy losses, as long as she could get to Wangjiagou and bring these zombie hordes there, Wangjiagou would be doomed, and Ye Yunyi would be doomed too.
So instead of running back on the highway, he came down this small road, intending to lure the zombies to Wangjiagou by another route. Along the way, no matter how many villages he could wipe out, he would still be making a profit.
But fate had other plans. As their vehicle emerged from that side road, they were met with a hail of gunfire. The officers showed no mercy; if they could hit their target, they wouldn't deliberately miss.
Li Li took every opportunity to shoot with all his might; he had been fuming for the past few days, and now he could finally vent his anger.
"Yiyi, it's me, it's Yanran! Have you forgotten? We're best friends!" Liu Yanran shouted from inside the car.
She tried to use their past friendship to persuade Ye Yunyi to show mercy, but instead received an even fiercer barrage of shots.
"Ye Yunyi, stop shooting. I have important information to tell you." Seeing that sentimentality was useless, Liu Yanran began to use benefits to make an offer.
Ye Yunyi still didn't talk to her, but instead fired at her car, killing a man next to her.
Clearly, Ye Yunyi was also up to no good. He shot the man in the heart, not in the head, and the man quickly stopped breathing, showing signs of zombification.
Liu Yanran screamed in fright, but the other man beside her reacted quickly and shot him in the head. The body collapsed onto Liu Yanran, covered in blood.
Liu Yanran couldn't take it anymore. Ignoring the gunfire all around and the approaching zombies behind her, she opened the car door and kicked her dead companion out.
As the zombies drew closer, Zhao Yong directed everyone to shoot out the tires of the vehicles, rendering them immobile. They then ceased fire and awaited the zombies' slaughter.
As expected, the zombie horde smelled the presence of living people in the car and saw the corpse on the ground. They quickly pounced on it and devoured it completely.
Liu Yanran originally hoped to hide in the car to escape the disaster, but when she was stared at by countless zombie eyes, she knew that she was doomed.
With her last breath, she shouted, "Ye Yunyi, I hate you, I hate you."
"Why is it that you're inferior to me in every way, yet you live a better life than me?"
"Do you remember what you looked like before the apocalypse? You were burdened with debt, poor and full of enemies, married to a useless husband who wasn't even worthy of licking my shoes."
"After the apocalypse, I was living a good life in prison, second only to the emperor, and you came to ruin my life. I helped you because of our past friendship."
"But how will you repay me? You actually fired me and humiliated me for the sake of Xiao Fang."
"You let me stay in your house, in a small room on the first floor. Am I your pet dog?"
"You have a family, all together; you have vision, you are the leader of a community; you have a guard team; you are so impressive."
"But look at you now, aren't you just like a stray dog, running away before you even get a chance to fight?"
"Haha, the world is only so big, where can you go? Wangjiagou, where you are, will surely be destroyed because of you."
"Hahaha, Ye Yunyi, I just... ah..." Liu Yanran suddenly screamed.
Ye Yunyi saw that her car had been breached and countless zombies had reached inside. She must have been bitten, but she still didn't stop cursing Ye Yunyi.
"Ye Yunyi, I'm waiting for you. You'll be coming to see me soon."
"You will never be as good as me, never."
Soon, Ye Yunyi's voice stopped, and only the sound of zombies chewing could be heard.
"Incendiary bomb!" Ye Yunyi shouted.
Countless incendiary bombs were thrown at the horde of zombies, and the zombies, along with Liu Yanran who had just turned into a zombie, disappeared into the sea of fire.
Liu Yanran died before achieving victory in her campaign.
She betrayed because of jealousy, and even faced death because of jealousy, but in the end, she didn't receive a single rebuttal from Ye Yunyi.
For Ye Yunyi, words were inadequate. From the moment she gave up on those who weren't worth it, she couldn't be bothered to say another word. She moved forward, looked ahead, protected her family, protected her home, and eliminated the zombies. She had many more things to do than Liu Yanran's comparisons, resentment, and jealousy.
