Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang drove away from their home, heading towards the front gate.
They hadn't decided whether to leave the community, find a room to hide in, or find an opportunity to go to the back mountain and take the tunnel to Building 38. But for now, their parents and children were still in the community, and there were many zombies outside, so going out would be very dangerous.
Staying in the community means I can look after my parents. I haven't been in contact with the property management for a long time; there's no electricity, and the gate and other facilities can only be opened manually.
Ye Yunyi drove the car while Wang Zixiang observed the surroundings.
After Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang drove away, Li Biao hurriedly ran back to his own yard and started his beat-up car, which was the same car he had stolen from her adopted sister.
He set off with a few brothers.
Wang Zixiang quickly noticed the car chasing behind him.
They're coming! Run!
Daylight broke, and the residents of the villa area were awakened by the gunfire. They dared not make a sound. Two cars chased each other through the villa area; the zombies that had previously terrified them couldn't even keep up with their exhaust fumes, and many had even been hit. Suddenly, a feeling elusive arose.
Li Biao drove incredibly fast, and once within range of his pistol, he started firing. They wanted to blow out the tires of Ye Yunyi's car and then kill them on the spot.
Ye Yunyi had only recently bought the car and wasn't a good driver. Wang Zixiang couldn't drive and wasn't good at archery either, which was going to be a disaster for him.
Ye Yunyi took a deep breath, calmed herself, stepped on the gas, and sped forward for several hundred meters. Gradually, she managed to shake off Li Biao and soon arrived at the gate. Sure enough, the exit gate wouldn't open. Since they didn't have time to get out of the car to open the gate, Ye Yunyi drove around to get out.
But at that moment, in the property's private room next to the main entrance, Xiao Deng saw Ye Yunyi's car, and then he also saw Li Biao's car.
He really wanted to help, but Ye Yunyi didn't see him, and the car drove off again. Xiao Deng kept an eye on it, and as soon as he saw Ye Yunyi's car coming, he would immediately open the brakes.
Seeing Li Biao's car getting closer and closer, on a straight stretch of road, Ye Yunyi stepped on the gas pedal, then moved from the driver's seat to the back seat, letting Wang Zixiang drive. She opened the car window, drew her bow and arrow, and shot it at Li Biao's car.
Li Biao also fired at them. Fortunately, the tires weren't hit, but they weren't so lucky when Ye Yunyi shot her arrow. Their car window was shattered, and the bamboo arrow pierced through the window, hitting Li Biao's right hand. However, because bamboo arrows are not like iron arrows, they were blocked by the car window, and Li Biao's hand was not seriously injured.
But Li Biao's hand trembled, and the car swerved sharply. This infuriated Li Biao. Ignoring his injured hand, he slammed his hand on the steering wheel and swerved the car back onto the right track.
But just as they moved back, another arrow pierced through the broken car window and shot in, hitting Li Biao in the chest. Looking at the arrow in his chest, Li Biao was terrified.
For a moment, I felt like I was going to die. This frightened my companions in the car; they were afraid that if Li Biao died and turned into a zombie, they would all be doomed.
Just as he was hesitating whether to get rid of Li Biao, Li Biao shouted, "Damn it, hurry back and bandage me up!"
He knew that if he didn't speak up, they would kill him before Ye Yunyi could even make a move.
"What a bunch of useless trash," Li Biao thought to himself, feeling sullen. So many people, with cars and guns, yet they were unharmed, while he was so badly injured.
Ye Yunyi didn't check if Li Biao was dead. Wang Zixiang was timid to begin with; when he was learning to drive with Ye Yunyi, he failed every test except the theory one, and his legs would tremble as soon as he got in the car. At this moment, the car was also traveling along a winding, zigzagging path.
Ye Yunyi quickly returned to the driver's seat, drove the car around once, and then walked towards the door.
They had to leave the community openly, otherwise Li Biao and his gang would not get away with it.
This time, when their car arrived at the gate, Xiao Deng had already opened the gate.
"Sister Yiyi, be careful on the road," Xiao Deng said to Ye Yunyi.
"Thank you, Xiao Deng," Ye Yunyi said, handing Xiao Deng a bag of biscuits and a bag of corn that she had left in the car.
In the past few months, Xiao Deng has become much thinner than before; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as skin and bones.
It's clear they were also short of food. He was kind enough to think of helping Ye Yunyi at that moment; he would remember that kindness.
Xiao Deng declined, refusing to accept Ye Yunyi's food. "Sister Yiyi, you had a lot of difficulties going out this time. At least we can find some food in the neighborhood. You should keep these."
"Xiao Deng, trust me, I'll find a way. Here, take this. Li Biao's gang has over 30 men, and they all have guns. Be careful. Save your lives first. You should leave now and don't let anyone know you opened the door for us."
Ye Yunyi stuffed the food into Xiao Deng's arms and drove away.
There were far more zombies outside the door than in the residential area and on the road behind the mountain; they were densely packed. Once outside, Ye Yunyi didn't dare linger. She slammed on the gas pedal, carving a bloody path through the horde of zombies.
"Where to?" Wang Zixiang asked.
"I don't know. Let's look out to the suburbs. It would be best if we could take a detour to the back mountain. We need to go home to protect our parents and children," Ye Yunyi said.
“Yes, we can go around to the other side of the mountain and then go back through the tunnel,” Wang Zixiang said.
“That’s a good idea,” Ye Yunyi said.
To get from this side to the other side of the mountain, you need to go around a long road, passing a large shopping supermarket and then several country roads.
This was seen on a map I downloaded previously.
Wang Zixiang pointed out the way while Ye Yunyi drove.
After driving past the entrance, the number of zombies on the road noticeably decreased.
This was the first time Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang had gone out since the zombie virus outbreak. The road to the shopping supermarket was a well-paved asphalt road, with a few cars parked sparsely along it.
Some cars contained zombies, some had indeed overturned, and some were parked perfectly intact.
Seeing that there was no one by the roadside and not many zombies, Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang discussed collecting the fuel from the car, as fuel would likely be scarce later. These supplies were dwindling as they were used.
Since we've already met, we can't let this opportunity pass us by.
So Ye Yunyi parked the car on the side of the road, cleared away the zombies around, and then drove off to get the car's fuel.
The cars all had plenty of fuel, and quite a few were taken from them. One of them was a BMW with the door open. There were no zombies inside. Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang checked it and found that it had been modified and was very safe. The key was still in the ignition.
"Change to another one?" Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang said in unison. After saying that, they looked at each other and smiled.
Then they moved the things from their beat-up car, along with the stuff they'd scavenged from other cars and fuel, into the BMW.
