Chapter 10 Leaving the City

his house should not let anyone in."They were a pair of petty thieves who had discovered this place. There were no security cameras, not even a guard in sight, so they broke in, intending to use it as...Sun Jia's siblings looked at each other, and Sun Yi nodded decisively. As followers, they wouldn't question Lianyi's decision; they would just remind her if necessary.

Knowing they couldn't stay there forever, everything was packed. Now, each with a backpack and the kitchen knife Wu Lianyi had given them, they swiftly left without wasting time.

Wu Lianyi was satisfied with the two people's actions and immediately explained two sentences:

"This is the city center, and those monsters are evolving too. I believe you also noticed yesterday that they're getting faster, approaching the speed of normal humans."

This place will fall sooner or later, it's better to leave early and go to the shelter. It's good for us. Besides, there's someone in this building who I don't get along with.

He immediately called the siblings to his room, pointing at Yunrou who was struggling to climb onto the back of the green military jeep below, and said in a low voice:

This woman's name is Yunrou. She used to be my best friend, but she took my fiancé away from me and ran off with him. My foolish fiancé protected her, and in the process, was bitten by a zombie and died instantly.

"And she, just like you, has awakened to her abilities. Her water is corrosive, so keep your eyes peeled. I brought you back here yesterday, and she was hiding in this building. She definitely saw you."

Sun Wang listened with relish. He didn't expect Lianyi Sister to have such an experience, but looking at her calm expression, she didn't seem like someone who had been betrayed by both her fiancé and best friend at all.

"Put away your pitying and curious glances. In this world, the most important thing is to stay alive. Apart from life and death, nothing else matters."

Wu Lianyi gave Sun Wang a faint glance. This fresh graduate should be tempered a few times more. He was protected too well by his older sister.

Sun Yi felt a bit frustrated. She slapped Sun Wang on the back of the head with an affectionate touch, trying to wake him up a little.

"Don't be too curious, and don't focus too much attention on that Yunrou. Even if you encounter her, be cautious."

Son Yi coldly warned herself about this careless younger brother.

"Yes, elder sister! I definitely listen to what Ripples says."

Sun Wang, being showered with double the love, immediately tightened his backpack and quickly replied.

When Wu Lianyi saw that the time was right and the noise in the hallway had subsided, she took the lead and walked down.

While the three of them were talking, three military vehicles had already been filled with people and were ready to depart. Some people had the same idea as them, preparing to hit the road in their own cars. At this time, they were also stuffing large and small bags into their vehicles.

Three people walked out of the unit and immediately dashed into the alleyway to the SUV covered by a rain tarp. They just happened to see several people who lived in the alley trying to open the car door, it was clear what they were trying to do.

Sun Wang immediately shouted:

"What are you doing, stay away from our car."

Sun Yi rushed forward, clutching a kitchen knife, her expression resolute - it was either him or her. The two men, one tall and one short, were immediately frightened and fled to their car under the awning.

"Fortunately, we came. Otherwise, they would have gotten a cheap car."

Sun Wang cursed and said.

After the three people successfully got into the car, they started the engine and followed a black sedan. Then, following the path opened by the military vehicle ahead, they began to move.

More and more zombies flocked to the sound, though they were constantly being cleared up ahead. Still, zombies kept crawling out from every nook and cranny, moving towards them – these fresh morsels of flesh.

"Ripples, their movements aren't as stiff as before. They're much more fluid now, just like normal people."

Sun Wang carefully observed the situation outside from the back seat and promptly informed his two older sisters of his findings.

Suddenly, screams and cries of pain echoed from the front, along with the sound of crashing vehicles, signaling that something had gone wrong ahead.

"Ripple, I think things ahead are not looking good!"

Sun Yi frowned.

"Turn into the alley, take a shortcut to leave here, and meet the convoy outside the city."

Wu Lianyi believed in Sun Yi's perception and made a quick decision.

"Great!"

Sun Yi drove the steering wheel and immediately left the main road, turning into an alley that only allowed one car to pass. The cars following them seemed to realize something was wrong, gritted their teeth and resolutely followed them.

Here, on the green military truck, Yun Rou holds a golf club and is striking a zombie that has climbed onto the hood. This zombie is faster and stronger than before, indistinguishable from a normal person.

They were making good progress at first, but a child in the car kept crying, attracting zombies. The child's mother was trying her best to comfort him, but the more she tried, the louder he cried. Finally, an old woman picked up the child and gave her a bottle, which finally quieted him down.

Unfortunately, the cries attracted zombies. They chased after the car, wanting to get closer to the fresh flesh. Finally, a zombie successfully climbed onto the vehicle. Screams filled the air, and the shoving between them pushed Yunrou, who was hiding at the bottom of the truck bed, out.

Yunrou even felt murderous. These despicable, un-evolved humans had actually pushed her out to be cannon fodder! But now she could only take out her self-defense golf club and start attacking. Her face was as cold as ice.

Because of the crowded car and people dodging each other, the quiet child started crying again, making the scene even more chaotic.

Seeing the car in front have trouble, a person poked his head out of the green military truck following behind, raised his hand and fired a shot, blasting the zombie who had already entered the car's cabin in the head, resolving Yunrou's crisis.

Everyone worked together to throw the zombie out of the car. The car finally fell silent, but this time Yunrou didn't get back inside. Instead, she sat on the outermost edge because the zombie had scratched someone earlier, and those people would eventually change.

On the other side, because they had Sun Yi, a local, guiding them, they took several twists and turns through the alleyways before arriving at the highway's feeder road. Then, they immediately got onto the overpass and sped out of the city as quickly as possible. During this time, many more vehicles joined their journey.

As dusk was about to fall, ripples' vehicles finally arrived at the assembly point. It was already filled with cars, including green military jeeps, as if waiting for the rest of the people.

Several men in combat uniforms huddled together, seemingly engaged in a heated discussion. Then, Yunrou's figure appeared within Lianri's line of sight.

Ripples saw Yunrou carefully approach, seeming to say something. The man who appeared to be the leader frowned deeply, and the faces of the others around him visibly worsened as they questioned Yunrou again.

"Sister Lian, they actually got here before us."

Sun Wang whispered.

"Go find out what's going on with them."

Ripple directly commanded, her face was so ugly, there must be something wrong, but she didn't know why Yunrou went over to show off..Of course, Father, I am now in Palos City, preparing for this year's knight ranking assessment. Once I receive the silver medal, you won't doubt me anymore.Ripples didn't expect to be able to persuad...
