Ye Yunyi led the zombie in the red dress along the path toward the highway. She didn't care about the changes in her body, nor whether she was bitten or scratched by the zombies again. She had only one obsession: to kill the zombies she could, and to lure the rest away. As long as she could lure them away, Wangjiagou would be safe.
Driven by this obsession, the car drove onto the highway, and most of the zombies that had been climbing on the car fell off. The red-skirted zombie tried to climb onto the car, but the iron chain around its neck was firmly stuck in the car window. It could only run and shout, but because its neck was stuck, its voice sounded as unpleasant as a male duck.
The strategy of "capture the leader first" proved effective. A large group of zombies followed Ye Yunyi's car. The fast ones could keep up, while the slower ones were still running behind. Only a small number remained, fighting at the entrance of Wangjiagou.
After the main force of zombies left, Zhao Yong and Wang Zixiang joined them, and they quickly gained the upper hand, eliminating the remaining zombies.
The scene was horrific; limbs and severed bodies littered the ground, and blood stained it crimson. A heavy stench of decay permeated the air. Many of the guards, wounded but not yet zombies, clutched their wounds and wept silently. Some held pistols or bullets to their heads, tears streaming down their faces, gasping for breath, yet unable to muster the courage to commit suicide. Others gazed at each other, longing for a quick death; they didn't want to become zombies, they didn't want to endanger their families.
Wang Zixiang and Zhao Yongde, looking at the situation on the scene, were also filled with heavy hearts.
"Brothers, I'm leaving this to you." Wang Zixiang said to Wang Zichao and Zhao Yong, and then he walked towards another car.
"Brother, where are you going?" Wang Zichao called out.
“I’ll go find your sister-in-law. No matter what she’s become,” Wang Zixiang said resolutely.
Since the apocalypse, he has been working in the logistics department, doing the safest things. Now that Ye Yunyi has lured away the zombies, he must go and find her.
Wang Zixiang drove off. Despite not having a driver's license and being terrified of driving, he kept starting the car, relying on the basic knowledge he had gained from learning to drive.
Xiao Deng rushed over, "Brother, I'll go with you to find Sister Yiyi. I can drive."
The two drove to find Ye Yunyi.
After driving at breakneck speed on the highway for a long time, Ye Yunyi was almost in City C. Looking at the sign on the highway that led to the north of the city, Ye Yunyi had a sudden idea. Yes, go to the north of the city and lead them to the ambulance. She had been hiding and running away, but she had only been able to take the beating. Now she would take the initiative and attack.
Two hours had passed since she started driving on the highway, and Ye Yunyi only now realized that she hadn't turned into a zombie. She carefully examined the changes in her body. First, she checked the areas where she had been scratched by the zombies. Except for her back, which she couldn't see, the scratches on her hands, aside from being slightly red, didn't show the bluish-black spreading characteristic of zombie virus infection. She tried moving her limbs and found that she seemed stronger than before, and her senses were unusually sharp. She could hear subtle movements in the distant mountains and forests, as if the rustling of small animals moving through the grass was right next to her ear. Her vision had also improved; previously blurry distant scenery was now clearly visible, and she could even make out the shape of a small insect on a rock across the valley. Ye Yunyi was filled with questions. What did this change mean? Did being immune grant her additional abilities? While she didn't possess superpowers like in those post-apocalyptic novels, at least humans had the opportunity to evolve alongside the zombies.
Ye Yunyi was overjoyed; even the zombies outside seemed less ugly now, especially the one in the red dress. But the red-dressed zombie stared at Ye Yunyi with a malevolent gaze. Ye Yunyi ignored it, humming a song as she sped towards the ambulance.
After getting off the highway, Ye Yunyi followed the road signs toward the ambulance. She was unfamiliar with the area, so she drove much slower. The zombies that had fallen behind caught up with her, making her look like a person leading a flock of ducklings.
Because she was unfamiliar with the northern part of the city, Ye Yunyi took a detour but still found the aid station. Ye Yunyi sneered and said, "Enjoy the zombie horde."
As expected, the people at the aid station had already spotted the dense horde of zombies. They directed the aid station's guards to open fire, but they were targeting Ye Yunyi.
With her increased strength and heightened senses, Ye Yunyi used various techniques such as quick turns, retreats, and advances, yet remained unharmed throughout.
The people inside, seeing that they couldn't kill Ye Yunyi for a long time, knew that if they didn't stop the zombie, the rescue center would also face a difficult battle.
They pulled out heavy weapons, intending to blow Ye Yunyi and the zombies up together.
Very well, Ye Yunyi released the chains, and the red-clothed zombie finally got a chance to catch her breath. She tried to pounce on Ye Yunyi, but a Molotov cocktail was thrown at her. Ye Yunyi dared not abandon the car, so she accelerated and retreated, barely dodging the Molotov cocktail.
The aid station truly lived up to its name; they threw out bombs and incendiary bombs as if they were free, making them far more formidable than when Ye Yunyi and her group fought the zombies.
Ye Yunyi dared not linger. Taking advantage of the zombies being attracted to the ambulance, she drove towards Wangjiagou.
Even from a distance, I could still hear the aid station dropping grenades. In any case, the zombies were all wiped out, which removed one threat. Even if they weren't completely eliminated, they still annoyed the aid station; either way, it was a win-win situation. Excellent.
Ye Yunyi saw some straggling zombies on the highway. They saw her vehicle and ran after it for a while, but couldn't catch up and stopped on the highway, swaying back and forth. It was as if the pause button had been pressed.
"You're lucky you didn't perish in the fire," Ye Yunyi said softly.
As she exited the highway, she encountered Wang Zixiang and his car. Ye Yunyi honked first, and the other car honked back. When they got closer, Wang Zixiang and Xiao Deng burst into tears of joy.
Who knew that when Wang Zixiang heard that Ye Yunyi had been scratched by a zombie and resolutely drove away to lure the zombie away, he thought he was going to lose her. At that moment, he was overwhelmed with fear, guilt, and pain.
"It's alright, let's go back to Wangjiagou first," Ye Yunyi said, revealing a genuine smile.
She is not only immune, but also evolved. So, can Dr. Shen develop an antidote?
If a cure could be developed, wouldn't this apocalypse finally end?
Fortunately, Ye Yunyi and the others returned in time. There were too many wounded guards, and Zhao Yong couldn't bear to kill them with his own hands. So he had them all tied up with iron chains and locked in a sturdy room, to be executed after they turned into zombies.
