Looking at the zombies surging in from behind like a tide, I felt a sense of panic that I was about to be overwhelmed.
Although everyone was putting in their best effort, the large number of vehicles, including a large truck at a turn with chickens, ducks, and pigs squealing in fear, drove the long-starved zombies into a frenzy.
The evolved zombies also made full use of their strengths. First of all, the fast-running zombies quickly caught up and pounced on the vehicle whenever they had the chance, scaring the people inside so much that their hearts pounded. They tried their best to control themselves but still couldn't suppress their instincts and screamed.
Unfortunately, some cars were blocked by zombies on their windshields. Fortunately, the drivers were members of the guard team, specially trained by Zhao Yong and Xiao Deng, and frequently on missions, so they were very experienced and managed to avoid collisions due to being frightened by zombies or having their vision obstructed.
Holding a compound bow, Wang Xuanxuan looked at the surging horde of zombies outside and said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Beside her were her dog Doudou and her younger sister Zhao Xixi.
"Sister, don't be afraid, Xixi can fight alongside you." Zhao Xixi also took out a pistol. Her father, Zhao Yong, was a sharpshooter, and under his training, she was already very good at shooting at a young age.
DouDou stood beside them, watching the window warily, as if she would be the first to pounce on any zombies that came.
Mr. Zhao was driving, while Mrs. Zhao and Ye Yunjuan were also looking around warily.
When a vehicle is surrounded, the surrounding vehicles will also provide assistance and protection within their capabilities.
And so, the convoy that had already exited the highway sped off, with the horde of zombies rushing behind them, a scene strikingly similar to that in a certain movie.
Some of the bolder ones took out their phones and recorded the zombie horde chasing them, then posted the footage in the group chat, prompting sighs of dismay from everyone who saw it.
On an abandoned highway, a convoy sped along. The roar of vehicles and the screeching of tires broke the deathly silence. However, a surging horde of zombies followed closely behind them, rolling in like a tide.
The zombies in the horde had grotesque faces, their twisted bodies emitting a foul stench. They chased the convoy frantically, emitting low growls. Some zombies even grabbed the edges of the vehicles, trying to climb onto them.
The people in the convoy were terrified. They accelerated desperately, trying to escape the horde of zombies. The drivers gripped the steering wheels tightly, their eyes fixed on the road ahead. Inside the vehicles, the people kept the doors and windows shut, praying for a safe escape.
As the convoy moved forward, the number of zombies increased, forming a terrifying barrier. The vehicles weaved through the horde, occasionally colliding with zombies and splattering blood.
On the slowest-moving truck, several zombies had climbed up. They frantically smashed the truck body, trying to break it open, crawl inside, and bite out the screaming animals. Some of them twisted and crawled on the truck body, climbed to the front of the truck, and hung down from above, their twisted and ferocious faces hanging down from the windshield. The driver was so frightened that he swerved the steering wheel and almost crashed into the roadside fence.
Fortunately, they had a special vehicle used as a guard team to protect everyone's safety. They opened fire and shot at the zombies in the vehicle, killing many of them. However, they were also in great danger as countless zombies immediately surrounded them.
Xiao Deng directed everyone. This was Yi Yi's blood relatives and core group; he would protect them even at the cost of his life. "Incendiary bombs! Molotov cocktails!" he decisively ordered. The convoy closest to the zombies promptly threw incendiary bombs and Molotov cocktails. The pursuing zombies were engulfed in flames, their bodies ablaze, yet they still struggled to escape. Although this couldn't wipe out the vast horde, it effectively slowed their progress, allowing them to catch their breath.
At the first fork in the highway, they decisively split up and ran, thus differentiating the horde of zombies. They ran wildly through the zombie horde, and when the guard teams from the surrounding villages and towns learned of the situation, they also organized their own guard teams to come and rescue them.
Upon learning of the zombie horde ahead, the second departing team quickly changed course to avoid further contact with it. However, they also sent a small reinforcement squad to assist them.
With everyone's help, they escaped the main horde of zombies and worked together to eliminate all the zombies that were chasing them.
Before they knew the exact movements of the zombie horde, they gathered together in the nearby Wenyuan Village to gather information, scout out the road conditions, and then make further plans.
After settling the first team, the guards did not rest but went together to pick up the second team. The two teams finally met up in the evening, rested for the night, and awaited the next steps.
They finally escaped from the jaws of death, and everyone was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
...
That evening, after Ye Yunyi and the others had rested, they gathered 400 people to arrange the plans they had discussed with Zhao Yong. Of course, Ye Yunyi also obtained their consent and planned out the villages and towns that needed to be arranged and the people who needed to be resettled, allowing everyone to choose for themselves.
To Ye Yunyi's surprise, 50 people chose to stay in the prison. They said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. The prison has excellent security measures, electricity and water systems, and decent accommodations. Even better, it has a back mountain, allowing them to open the gate that previously led to it, providing a continuous supply of resources. The prison itself is also quite spacious, with the machines and work areas previously used by the inmates still there. They can cultivate the land, grow vegetables and grains, raise animals, and be self-sufficient, just like in a community.
As for the aid station, they'll carefully hide it to avoid being discovered. Even if they are, they're outnumbered and can escape to the back mountain, making sure they don't get caught. Besides, that idiot Liu Yanran, according to the report from the comrades checking the surveillance footage, she was also preparing to set off, and sure enough, she headed precisely for Wangjiagou, so they're all safe.
Ye Yunyi said that this was actually not bad, leaving them with survival supplies, weapons, seeds, and animals. She then had the network repaired and checked to ensure the rescue center wouldn't be able to trace them through the network.
The remaining 30-plus people were divided into groups of about 50 and assigned to 8 villages and towns with good terrain, abundant manpower, and fertile soil. Supplies were also distributed to each group.
After they made their assignments, Ye Yunyi and Zhao Yong prepared to set off.
After the network was restored, Ye Yunyi and Zhao Yong saw the posts in the group about Team One encountering a horde of zombies. Ye Yunyi's heart clenched as she read the first part, and she only felt relieved when she saw that they were rescued at the end.
The large group chat had been disbanded when Ye Yunyi left. This was a private management group for their convenience. Seeing that the various villages and towns were still helping each other at this time, Ye Yunyi and Zhao Yong exchanged a glance and decided that guerrilla warfare was feasible.
