"Run! This way!" Ji Xian shouted.
Xi Guang'an immediately changed direction and ran after Ji Xian.
Ji Xian, Xia Luoxue, and Xi Guang'an successfully arrived at the Sand Silk Mercenary Group's off-road vehicle.
Xia Luoxue started the SUV, but at the crucial moment, she couldn't start it when she turned the key.
At this critical moment, Ji Xian felt like cursing.
This sounds like a scene from a cheesy movie: at the crucial moment, the car always fails to start, then the key falls to the ground, the protagonist hurriedly picks up the key and tries to start the car again, and manages to escape just as danger looms at the last second.
But this isn't a movie.
Just how useless is this Sandworm Mercenary Group? Their vehicles are so dilapidated, and the key-ignition technology used in these cars is clearly from the last century.
Ji Xian was speechless.
At that moment, he saw two living people run out of the ruins and head this way.
They are members of the Sandworm Mercenary Group.
Ji Xian thought to himself: Sure enough, some fish escaped the previous bombing.
However, without Ji Xian's drone perspective, these two escaped the net, and could not detect the danger in time.
Now that the zombie horde has arrived, they only realize they need to escape, but it's already too late.
The zombies pouring out of the cave didn't just run in one direction.
Those zombies that didn't see Xi Guang'an were running around like headless flies.
The two who escaped were quickly spotted by the roaming zombies.
Several zombies pounced on the fish that had been caught and immediately pinned it down, starting to bite it.
The two who escaped the net let out a piercing scream.
The wails of a dying person are the most terrifying sounds, chilling and unsettling, even Ji Xian was afraid to hear them.
At the same time, Ji Xian saw several mutated creatures, each the size of a tiger, emerge from the ruins.
These mutated creatures, which were originally hiding peacefully in the ruins, are now covered in countless zombies.
The zombies pounced on them, tearing and biting wildly. The mutated creature didn't run far before it collapsed to the ground, motionless, clearly dead.
As more and more zombies gathered on their corpses, Ji Xian felt a little panicked.
Even the most powerful mutated creatures are no match for zombies; fragile humans have absolutely no ability to resist.
Xia Luoxue was still trying to start the fire, but it wouldn't start.
Seeing that Xia Luoxue couldn't light the fire after trying for a long time, Xi Guang'an couldn't help but shout, "Let me do it!"
As he spoke, he pried Xia Luoxue's hand away and reached in to turn the key himself.
Strangely enough, Xia Luoxue couldn't start the car no matter how she turned the key, while Xi Guang'an could start the car with just a slight turn.
Damn, just like any car, like any person, Ji Xian couldn't help but think.
The zombies have caught up, and one of them has already slammed its hand on the car window.
Xia Luoxue stepped on the gas, and the car shot off with a "whoosh".
The zombies were left behind.
This was a close call, and Ji Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, we finally escaped!" Xi Guang'an said, relieved to have survived the ordeal.
Ji Xian asked, "What happened before? How did you come out of the cave and attract so many zombies?"
Xi Guang'an said, "I was just hiding in a secluded corner when I saw an explosion next to me. The explosion even created a hole, so I hid inside the hole. When I went in, I found that it was actually a shelter, but everyone in the shelter had been infected and turned into zombies."
After thinking for a moment, Ji Xian deduced that the place was originally the entrance to a closed shelter, and everyone inside was infected.
Ji Xian accidentally blew open the entrance, which inadvertently released all the infected people inside.
Ji Xian was thinking with his eyes closed when the car, which had been bumping along, suddenly stalled and stopped after driving less than two kilometers.
"What happened?" Ji Xian asked hurriedly.
Xia Luoxue frowned and said, "I don't know either. It just suddenly went out of control."
Xi Guang'an, standing to the side, said with a bitter face, "This car has probably been tampered with."
"Hmm?" Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue looked at Xi Guang'an together.
Xi Guang'an said, "Don't you find it strange that out of the three vehicles, only one was left there?"
Ji Xian gasped: "You mean they did it on purpose?"
Ji Xian never expected this. He thought that all those people would be scared and run away after his bombing, but these rabble actually turned the tables on him.
They knew that Ji Xian's car wheels were broken and he would need to change vehicles to leave, so they tampered with the remaining vehicle.
Ji Xian admitted that he had underestimated others.
Just then.
Two SUVs approached from the front.
They were the five people who had fled in the car earlier.
Xia Luoxue's pistol was already loaded, and Ji Xian also took out the laser pistol he had bought.
Xi Guang'an skillfully stood on the vehicle and operated the machine gun mounted on the roof through the roof window.
A major battle seems imminent.
"Don't move. There's a bomb in your car. If I press the remote, your car will explode."
Ji Xian was in the car when he heard the sounds coming from outside.
"Damn, there was a bomb in the car." Ji Xian couldn't help but curse.
With half of his body sticking out of the car roof, Xi Guang'an immediately gave up resisting and shamelessly raised his hands, saying, "I'm one of our own, let's talk this out."
The two off-road vehicles kept circling around Ji Xian and the others, and even if Ji Xian wanted to operate the drone to drop aerial bombs, he couldn't hit them accurately.
Damn, these people are really shrewd. Ji Xian couldn't help but want to curse.
