Chapter 25 The Cannibalistic Apocalypse
Meng Shiwan raised the roof of the car a crack, crawled out from inside, and came to the top of the driver's cab.
She stood on top and looked down, seeing nothing but a dense mass of black heads.
The zombies became increasingly agitated by the rich aroma of fresh flesh and blood.
Crowded, roaring, as if they wished they could grow wings and fly up to devour her.
Some of the zombies around the RV were pushed to the ground, while others climbed up by stepping on the fallen zombies.
If things continue like this, the RV will eventually be swallowed up by hordes of zombies.
Meng Shiwan crawled back up to the second floor, stepped onto a pile of household items, and placed two buckets of cooking oil on the roof of the driver's cab.
She moved the buckets several times, carrying out seven or eight buckets, and when she felt that was enough, she crawled out again.
She picked up the gasoline she had brought, unscrewed the cap, and flung it out forcefully, spilling the gasoline into the horde of zombies.
She took out a lighter, lit it, and threw it out. The spot where the gasoline had been sprayed instantly burst into flames, burning the zombie's clothes and hair, and the fire spread rapidly.
The RV was about ten meters away from the group of cars that were haphazardly collapsing together.
One barrel of gasoline is not enough to start a fire.
She punctured the bottle of cooking oil and threw out four or five buckets of oil, which connected to form a line.
The remaining three buckets were also thrown into the dense hordes of zombies on both sides.
With the help of cooking oil, the fire intensified, and Meng Shiwan quickly crawled back into the RV and lowered the roof.
The fire spread rapidly through the zombie horde, devouring their clothes and hair, licking their skin, and emitting a barbecue smell.
As the fire spread to the group of vehicles ahead, gasoline leaked from the collision may have further fueled the flames, causing them to shoot into the sky.
Bang!
A huge explosion sent flames flying, spreading into the horde of zombies further away.
The entire intersection was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye.
Meng Shiwan stood inside the RV and looked out of the windows. The entire RV was enveloped in orange flames.
The zombies struggled, twisted, burned, and collapsed in the sea of fire.
The RV was heated by the flames, and the air conditioner was running at full speed, trying its best to deliver cool air.
Meng Shiwan appeared calm on the surface, but was actually panicking inside.
"System, you said the RV is immune to all damage, you better not be lying to me! Don't let the tires melt, the battery explode, or the air conditioning turn off..."
If even the slightest problem occurs—a burnt-out wiring, an air conditioner shutdown—the RV will become an oven.
She and Ta Xue, even if they weren't burned to death, would be roasted into jerky.
The flames burned fiercer and fiercer, and explosions continued to be heard outside.
Car fuel tanks shattered, burned, and exploded in the high temperature, one after another, like a bombing scene.
Hearing the commotion, Du Zitao stuck his head out to look at what was happening outside, only to see a rapidly spreading sea of fire.
"What a huge fire! Won't it spread and burn down our whole street? We're not going to be bitten to death by zombies, but burned to death by fire?"
The towering flames had already turned half the sky red, with billowing black smoke and waves of heat hitting our faces.
The others quickly gathered around to see what was happening outside.
The zombies in the street below were all gathering towards the burning intersection, and the fire was burning the clothes on the zombies and spreading.
Soon the shops on both sides will be on fire, and the fire will likely spread up the building, endangering any survivors hiding inside.
Everyone who was still alive was sticking their heads out of the windows, their faces full of anxiety.
Clearly, everyone is very worried about the current situation.
After calming down a bit, Mr. Du said, "The explosion was caused by vehicles on the road. The fire spread along the zombie horde into the street. Without gasoline as an accelerant, the fire would have been much smaller."
In preparation for this rally, someone came specifically to inspect and repair the smoke detectors and fire sprinklers in the shops along the street. Once the smoke detectors detect dense smoke, the sprinklers will automatically spray water to extinguish the fire. By coordinating this with our water spraying from above, we should be able to prevent the fire from spreading to the upper floors.
They acted immediately. Not daring to open the door to turn on the fire hydrant in the stairwell, they could only use basins and buckets to fill the taps with water and carry them to the window to pour it down.
Wet the area near the entrance downstairs; this can effectively prevent the fire from spreading.
When the other survivors saw what they were doing, they realized the problem and followed suit, trying their best to throw water downstairs.
Combined with the fire sprinklers activated in the shops on the first floor, it was indeed effective.
Chen Manning leaned against the wall, carrying a bucket of water and panting heavily. "Do you think there might be survivors inside those cars?"
If so, this fire would have burned the survivors hiding inside the car alive.
Du Zitao felt his wife was overthinking things. "No, I saw it with my own eyes. A zombie smashed through a car window and dragged the people inside out to eat. With so many zombies roaming around, how many survivors were dragged out of the car and eaten by them?"
Chen Manning felt a chill run down her spine.
She is now incredibly grateful that the two of them took leave to come back and go to the market.
If the zombie outbreak had occurred while I was at work, I probably wouldn't be alive now.
After worrying for half an hour, Meng Shiwan was relieved to find everything was normal inside the RV.
The RVs produced by the system are quite durable.
It didn't burn out after half an hour, which means it's truly immune to all damage, so she can lie down in peace now.
This fire won't be extinguished anytime soon.
She wanted to make an iced drink, but found she didn't have any ice.
Move the fresh produce in the refrigerator to the fishpond area to free up a small space. Move the frozen meat from the freezer drawer to the refrigerator space to free up a drawer for freezing ice.
When they went to collect the water, they discovered that there was no box containing frozen ice.
Meng Shiwan stood by the pool, gazing up at the sky, and said, "The supplies we've stockpiled are still not comprehensive enough."
But this didn't stump her. She tore open two plastic bags, filled them with water, tied them together, and put them in the freezer. Once they were frozen solid, she crushed them and used them just the same.
Then cut the remaining large watermelon on the ground in half and put it in the refrigerator to freeze.
She casually grabbed a bottle of chilled apple juice, lay down on the sofa to play on her phone, and also took out a bag of watermelon seeds from under the small table, eating and playing at the same time.
Ta Xue jumped onto her back, curled up in a ball, and slept peacefully.
Meng Shiwan shifted her hips. "Ta Xue, get down. You're heavy."
Ta Xue pretended not to hear and continued sleeping, leaving Meng Shiwan with no choice but to let it press down on her.
There's nothing I can do; I have to pamper my own little cat.
Open any short video platform, and you'll see a deluge of news about zombie outbreaks.
—I have no food here, and there are zombies outside. I haven't eaten for two days. Someone please save me.
—There are so many zombies outside, I'm so scared. Is this the end of the world? Can I really survive?
—I saw the news online that there's a global zombie outbreak, we're doomed.
—I discovered today that I can breathe fire from my palms. What's going on? Could I be one of those superheroes in the movies who awakens superpowers?
Everyone was terrified and crying for help.
They were completely unprepared for this cannibalistic apocalypse.
Many, many people, had no idea what had happened; they had become mindless zombies and died.
