Night.
A two-story car repair workshop.
A man stood in front of the second-floor window, holding a crossbow. With a swish, a light whooshing sound was heard as an arrow pierced through the head of a wandering zombie in front of the door.
"Cool."
The man wore a baseball cap and was named Xu Zeyang.
An amateur archer, he liked to spend time at private shooting clubs, shooting bows and crossbows. Although far from professional, he was much better than the average person.
There were two zombies wandering in front of the door.
The distance was a bit close.
He continued to load arrows, aiming at the remaining zombie's head.
Biu!
Pu-chi!
Another perfect shot pierced the zombie's head, black blood splattered, blending into the darkness.
"Done, two small zombies, easy peasy," Xu Zeyang tipped his baseball cap, turning to look at the other three people in the room, "The nearby zombies roaming the streets have been mostly cleared by us, but those inside the shops are not easy to clean out."
They had been holed up here for some time, making it their base.
Hand-to-hand combat with zombies is really dangerous, with an extremely high risk; one slight mistake and you could be overwhelmed.
Therefore, as a long-range archer like him, he was quite in demand—clearing surrounding zombies with a biubiubiu of his arrows.
"Let's not worry about those for now," said the somewhat bald Lao Mao.
This place, with its first floor used for parking the steel beasts, served as their living area on the second floor.
"I've allocated the food, we can hold out for about seven days. The water supply is not a problem for the time being, the tap water plant hasn't stopped. According to normal circumstances, it should have stopped by now, I think there might be someone staying at the tap water plant," the short-haired woman said.
They didn't dare to act rashly, as the number of zombies in Huang City was much more than they had imagined.
The zombies roaming the streets were not the scariest; what truly frightened them were the ones hiding in the shops when they were scavenging for supplies.
Fast and infinitely strong.
They had very limited space to maneuver, and Xu Zeyang's archery skills had not yet reached the level of getting headshots in the midst of chaos.
Although it was possible to cut off a zombie's head with a knife, the difficulty was very high, and any deviation could easily lead to a predictable end.
So, scavenging supplies was literally risking their lives.
Even with guns at hand, honestly, they didn't dare to shoot recklessly. The noise generated was too loud and could easily attract a horde of zombies. Once surrounded, it was a one-way street to death.
In this period, they encountered some survivors.
Gone mad.
They had gone insane.
Out of desperation to survive, they had become completely deranged, and they also met a group of illegally formed teams, who did all sorts of evil, robbing others of their hard-earned possessions and resorting to murder for gain.
It wasn't that Huang City had run out of supplies.
Rather, places with supplies were often dangerous. Everyone was from the new era, with physical capabilities far less powerful than one might imagine. Facing a single zombie was difficult.
But robbing others was much easier.
Furthermore, the environment was very hostile towards women. Many people unleashed their primal desires, committing violence against women. Resistance was futile; in this lawless post-apocalyptic world, who would enforce the law?
Of course, some women had no choice but to depend on men, succumbing to them as a form of protection.
Suddenly.
Boom!
A rumbling sound erupted.
The four of them changed color in alarm, quickly moving to the window, crouching, and peering out with just their eyes to observe the surroundings.
They saw the explosion's firelight in a building not far away.
They knew there were illegal team members there, six people in total, who had previously encountered them. From their eyes, they could tell those guys were insane. Fortunately, they were protected by the steel beasts and the surrounding zombies, which deterred them from brazenly doing anything to them.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, but it's definitely not good. With such a big commotion, I think all the surrounding zombies will be attracted here."
Roar!
```
Roar!
Crashing sounds followed.
Zombies surged from all directions within the darkness.
Xu Zeyang's face turned deathly pale at the sight.
"This is such a sick joke, who the hell thought this was a good idea, creating such a commotion? Look at the pitch-black night; it feels like zombies are everywhere," he said.
The short-haired woman frowned, "It must be them. With such an explosion, it's probably a gas explosion."
"This..."
Everyone fell silent, wondering what kind of zombies could force them to do such a foolish thing.
Survivors who had made it this far and still managed to harm others in the process.
They must be slowly adapting to the apocalypse.
They definitely knew how to avoid zombies and would never engage zombies in a fight to the death.
While they were exchanging thoughts,
A deafening roar erupted.
"Ah... help, somebody help!"
"Fuck, what kind of monster is this, how could it be like this?"
Several figures ran out of the gloomy alley in the darkness.
A man running at the back, his face stricken with panic, hadn't even had time to react before a gigantic zombie, standing two meters tall, smacked him against the wall.
His head collided with the wall.
With a sickening splat,
His head burst open instantaneously, splattering the wall with blood.
The gigantic zombie made its appearance.
This zombie was muscular with towering shoulders as if two huge balls of flesh were stuffed inside. Its arms and thighs were thick and wrapped with black tendons, grotesque and terrifying, possessed of Infinite Strength, with substantial explosive power.
Chen Fei was running at the forefront; who could have expected to encounter such a monster? Since the apocalypse began, he quickly adapted to his surroundings from his initial nervousness.
He was even slightly excited.
For people like him, chaos was heaven. On the second day of the apocalypse, he had already killed his upstairs neighbor. There was no real reason; it was just because, during the peaceful times, his neighbor would drink and make noise at home, not sleeping until one or two in the morning and then call the police on him.
Chen Fei, holding a grudge, definitely had to vent it out.
With the arrival of the apocalypse, no laws restricted him.
He did whatever he wanted.
Later on, he gathered five people who were just like him, and they began to run amok in the apocalypse. Apart from having to avoid zombies, everything else was thrilling to him.
During the day, they captured a woman, and in the evening, the six of them were ready to have a good time. Who could have imagined that this woman would dare to resist? Fearing that they might kill her and lose the heat of the moment, they didn't go too hard on her.
Her piercing screams attracted the zombies and even brought a kind of zombie they had never seen before.
The moment they saw it, they knew it was not to be messed with; ordinary doors couldn't stop its onslaught.
Turning his head to look back,
He saw his teammates being swatted around by the zombie like tofu, even thrown amidst the horde of zombies, which sent shivers down his spine.
He didn't know if he could survive.
But whether he could or couldn't, even if there was only a one percent chance, he had to try. Ahead was another team; if he could lead the zombies to them, to draw their attention,
Maybe there was a slim possibility.
With that thought in mind,
He gathered all his strength, as if unleashing a power he never had before, his legs moving like they had engines attached, frantically rushing toward them.
Thump!
A zombie burst forward and knocked him to the ground.
"I'm done for."
That was the last thought Chen Fei had as he fell.
