Chapter 23



Ruan Ning was awakened by a burst of hurried footsteps.

Last night, she barely felt sleepy until about one or two in the middle of the night, and fell asleep curled up on her side. However, her sleep quality was not good, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she tossed and turned a lot, so now she has no energy at all.

Ruan Ning squinted her almond-shaped eyes, which were watery because she had just woken up, and glanced at the time on her watch. It was only half past five.

Didn’t we agree yesterday to set off at seven o’clock?

After the team members on duty in the second half of the night came over and said a few words to him, Ruan Ning clearly saw that Xue Chen's expression suddenly became solemn.

Her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly had a bad guess.

Could it be...

Xue Chen hesitated for a moment, then said loudly to everyone, "Everyone, pack up your things and get ready to go. We can't stay here for long. We have to leave early. Xiao Xie said he saw a group of zombies coming towards the gas station. Conservative estimates are at least 20 to 30 of them."

This gas station can only be seen by going around a small road on the main road. The location is a bit remote, but there are relatively few zombies, which is one of the reasons why they chose to spend the night here yesterday.

Ruan Ning only knew that in the novel the zombies would become more powerful on this day, but he forgot that the evolved zombies would be more sensitive to human breath. Now that more than a dozen people were crowded in the small gas station, it was expected that zombies would be attracted.

She knew the seriousness of the situation better than anyone else. Seeing the people hurriedly packing their things and the team members who were already prepared, she did not waste any more time. After taking the blanket covering her body, she hurriedly got on the car with everyone else.

However, not everyone moves equally quickly.

It happened suddenly. If they had too many cars and the target was too big, it would be difficult to move.

Xue Chen arranged the six original people at the gas station to get into the extra car.

Originally, this car was used to tie up the teammate who was injured by zombies. Now that he is fine and can return to the team, they naturally don't need this car anymore.

This car was smaller than the one they were riding in, and could only barely accommodate six people, and that was without putting too many supplies in it.

Now everyone gradually understands the importance of food. Among the six people, a couple insisted on driving their own car in order to get more food, and they even quarreled with another man who tried to dissuade them.

Finally, Xue Chen couldn't stand it anymore and said sternly that if anyone didn't follow the instructions, he wouldn't take them with him. The couple then calmed down a bit and returned to the car in shame.

"Captain, it's too late to leave. The zombies have blocked the way out. Our car can't get through. We can only leave here if we abandon the car and walk, or clear a path."

"The car cannot be abandoned!" Xue Chen said decisively.

Not to mention the supplies in the car, even finding a suitable means of transportation on the chaotic streets is not an easy task. You can't walk such a long distance on foot. A few of them can run a few kilometers at a time, but what about the others?

Hearing that they were going to get off the car to kill the zombies, the three men in the other car were stunned. For a moment, no one got off the car.

But they had no time to hesitate, because at this time, the zombies had already arrived at the door of the gas station and in front of their car.

There are too many zombies coming over here. If they don't deal with some of them, they won't be able to leave this place today.

This was the first time that Ruan Ning observed zombies at such a close distance. Through the car window, he could see those ugly faces that were stiff, purple, and had bulging eye sockets.

There was a female zombie, which was pushed against the car window by the zombies behind it, and her eyes met with Ruan Ning's.

Ruan Ning subconsciously took a step back, and his hand holding the gun was shaking.

In fact, she didn't need to deal with zombies sitting in this position. The other members of the team protected her very well, and the zombies couldn't get close to her.

But Ruan Ning still couldn't stop feeling afraid. Only by holding the gun in her hand could she feel a little more secure.
