The banging sound outside the door never stopped, making people feel annoyed and confused, but no one inside had the time to pay attention to it. Everyone was focusing on how to escape from there.

The buildings along the streets here are of the type that have shops on the first floor and residential buildings on the upper floors.

Ruan Ning watched Gu Yichen walk around the fresh food supermarket, then he found a place and used his supernatural powers to create a hole in the ceiling of that place that was big enough for a person to pass through.

Then, he took out a ladder from the space, and after the person who cleared the way went up and confirmed it was safe, the rest of them climbed up the ladder one after another.

Shortly after everyone reached the second floor, Gu Yicheng had just retracted the ladder when he heard a bang. The door on the first floor could not withstand the impact of the zombies outside and let them in. Ruan Ning, who was next to the hole, saw with his own eyes that the fresh food supermarket below was quickly filled with zombies, with no space left.

She stood upstairs and couldn't help but gasp as she watched the scene below. Fortunately, Xue Chen and Lin Yang quickly sealed the hole again. They also moved a table to block it, preventing the zombies from smelling the scent of living people and climbing up through this place to catch up with them.

The home on the second floor was decorated very cozily. From the photos hanging in the living room, it could be seen that this was a family of three. However, the original residents were nowhere to be found. There were traces of a fight on the ground, and the survivors must have left in a hurry.

The door was unlocked, so they left the room and walked up the stairs to the top floor. The door to the rooftop was locked with a big lock, and they didn't bother to pry it open, so they just used violence to tear the door down.

They came to the rooftop not to commit suicide, but because this was their only way to avoid the zombies.

If there is enough time, you can even escape from the current predicament without having to come into direct contact with the zombies.

A zombie is also a person before it dies, and it cannot fly.

This area is full of residential areas, and each building is not far from each other. The fresh food supermarket downstairs was also the best entry point that Gu Yicheng found after observing the surrounding environment.

The solution he thought of was to cross over these buildings.

Fortunately, they were not in the city center at this time. The buildings there were dozens of meters high and the distance between each building was too far. The length of the ladder and Lin Yang's special ability were simply not enough. They wanted to implement this method but had no idea where to start.

Ruan Ning has a mild fear of heights. When she was on the university campus, she was terrified when she looked down from the third floor. Now the height has become the seventh floor. Just looking down makes her feel dizzy and weak.

Gu Yicheng saw Ruan Ning's fear. Although she didn't say a word and seemed very quiet and sensible standing aside, her eyes betrayed her.

"You can hold my hand when you go over later, so you won't be afraid of falling." Gu Yicheng said in a gentle voice.

"Okay, okay." Ruan Ning agreed hesitantly, but he was still nervous. A person's physical fear cannot be overcome in a short time, and it is different from the fear of zombies.

It was soon Ruan Ning's turn in the team.

Gu Yicheng originally wanted to be in charge of the post-diagnosis work himself, but when he saw the girl beside him pursing her lips and trying hard to overcome her fear, he was moved and handed the post-diagnosis work to Xue Chen.

"If you are afraid, just close your eyes and follow me." Gu Yicheng's gentle voice rang in my ears.

Ruan Ning glanced at the man beside her, then stole a glance at the "bridge" between the two buildings that didn't look particularly solid. Her delicate eyebrows wrinkled, and then she obediently closed her eyes.

After she closed her eyes, she could only hear the whistling of the wind and feel the warmth of another person in her palm, and her mood slowly calmed down. The feeling of being afraid while standing on a high place but unable to help looking down also disappeared.

It seems that the method Gu Yicheng taught her is indeed useful. If you can't see it, you won't think too much about it. But it's all thanks to Gu Yicheng. If someone else was here, Ruan Ning might not be able to close her eyes and entrust her safety to another person.

After everyone had passed through there, the ladder was quickly taken back.

This is the benefit of having space powers. If other teams were here and faced a situation like today, even if they thought of this method, they might not have the conditions to implement it.

They continued to set up ladders between buildings and crossed five residential buildings until there were no more houses that met the distance requirements for them to pass. They then stopped.

"Brother Gu, there is no way out." Lin Yang said after retracting his supernatural powers.

Gu Yicheng squinted his eyes and looked down from the top of the building. Although this building was not far from the fresh fruit supermarket he had visited before, there were much fewer zombies nearby.

After all, zombies are different from humans. They can't see, and can only be identified by smell and hearing. Even if the psycho zombies are more cunning than other zombies, they can't find their group here. So they can escape from under its nose openly.

However, once they appeared downstairs, the smell of living people would spread out, and their whereabouts might not be hidden. The zombies would soon catch up with them again.

But the time difference was enough for them to get rid of the zombies and the psycho zombie. As for what would happen in the future, that was not something they should think about now.

The level of the psychic zombie was not low, and Gu Yicheng could not deal with it alone. He had already obtained enough third-level crystal cores at B University, and it was only a matter of time to upgrade to the fourth level. He did not necessarily have to get the crystal core in the head of the psychic zombie.

Therefore, let Base No. 3 in City B take care of the matter of this psychotic zombie themselves.

Gu Yicheng has other, more important things to do, and doesn't want to risk his own life or the lives of everyone else just to get rid of this zombie.

However, in his previous life, when Gu Yicheng was in the imperial capital, he had never heard of the existence of high-level spiritual zombies in City B. Perhaps they were solved during this period of time, or perhaps it was because of his rebirth that the butterfly effect occurred, just like the evolution of zombies in this life was also accelerated.

And Ning Ning is also...

Gu Yicheng remembered clearly that she was definitely in school when the apocalypse broke out in the previous life. But in this life, she was in the apartment.

Gu Yicheng didn't care why he was like this, but when he thought of the word "death" applied to the girl in front of him, the anger in his heart became a little more uncontrollable.

Gu Yicheng's gaze was too intense. Ruan Ning soon realized that he was looking at her, and his eyes looked strange. She asked, "Brother, what's wrong? What are you looking at me for?"

Gu Yicheng rubbed it with his thumb a few times, the deepness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, he smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just that something dirty got on your clothes."

Ruan Ning turned her head to follow his line of sight and saw that there was indeed some white wall dust on the black coat she had just changed into today. It must have been accidentally rubbed against it in the corridor when she went upstairs.

Ruan Ning wondered why Gu Yicheng was staring at her clothes, but thinking that he would not harm her, she did not take it to heart and just patted her clothes and that was it.

…

Time waits for no one, so everyone did not linger on the rooftop for long. They hurried downstairs, took the three cars out of the space, parked them on the road, and planned to drive away from this place.

Ruan Ning found that when they were outside, Gu Yicheng never let her do anything that might expose her. He always did it himself. He would only let her do it in a hidden situation like collecting supplies when only he was there.

Ruan Ning realized later that Gu Yicheng was indirectly protecting her by doing this. Due to Gu Yicheng's other ability, other people would be wary of him, so even if they discovered the existence of the space, they would not dare to say anything or take any action.

But for a helpless rookie like her, that's not necessarily the case. As for guns and ammunition, they are still far inferior to superpowers.

It feels really good to have someone behind you, no wonder so many people want to curry favor with him. Ruan Ning wondered more and more at such moments, how could her brother, who she picked up for nothing, be so good?

As expected, not long after they drove out, the psychic zombie received the message and controlled the other zombies to chase after them.

But the situation now was different from half an hour ago. Now it could only chase them from behind, instead of surrounding them from all sides, and it couldn't trap them at all.

It can also be said that Ruan Ning and his team were lucky. If the zombie had moved to a terrain that was not favorable to them, they might have really been trapped there. Instead of being able to solve the problem with just a small price like now.

All matters have been resolved, and they can now leave the urban area of ​​City B and head to the imperial capital.

On the way, they would pass by Base No. 3 again. It would be a good opportunity to send the three people who were rescued with Jiang's father and mother over. It would definitely be safer for these people to stay in the base than outside.

Because there were more people in the team, Jiang Jingchao's parents came over and rode in the same car with Ruan Ning and the others.

Ruan Ning is well-behaved, and this kind of appearance is especially popular with the elders. Not long after getting in the car, she became familiar with Jiang's father and mother.

Especially Jiang's mother. After giving birth to her eldest son Jiang Jingchao, she wanted to have a lovely daughter as her second child, but she didn't expect that it would be a son in the end. The daughter she imagined was exactly like Ruan Ning, well-behaved and sensible, which made people's hearts soften. Jiang's mother was full of maternal love. After holding her hand and chatting for a while, she almost treated Ruan Ning as her own daughter.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but when she heard Jiang's mother trying to match her with Jiang Jingchao and Jiang Jingyang to be goddaughters, Ruan Ning felt that the temperature around Gu Yichen beside her had dropped.

So Ruan Ning shyly rejected Jiang's mother's kindness.

After all, even if she was willing, the person next to her might not be willing.
