"Don't let your guard down yet!"
Ray raised his gun again, aiming at the giant zombie that was about four hundred meters away from them at that moment.
"Understood!"
Zhao Zhirou's eyes sharpened as she lifted her gun once more, targeting the zombie with wings.
These two evolved zombies were creatures Ray had never encountered before. To avoid any surprises, he decided it was best to snipe them before they got any closer.
Bang—
Bang—
Two gunshots rang out.
The next second, four hundred meters away, the winged zombie targeted by Zhao Zhirou had its upper body blown apart, instantly dead. And the bullet that penetrated it also took down more than a dozen zombies behind it.
Although the shot didn't hit a vital spot, it still incapacitated them.
As for Ray's target, it was also killed by a headshot without any surprise.
Its ten-meter-tall body fell heavily, crushing a group of zombies beneath it.
Having eliminated the biggest threat, Ray asked, "Jarvis, how far are we from the expressway entrance? How far are the zombies from the expressway entrance?"
"Sir, we are one hundred twenty-five meters away, the enemy is two hundred meters."
"This won't do. We must stop them, or we'll definitely run into them at the entrance of the expressway!"
"Zhirou, continue sniping. I'm going to get the rocket launcher!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Zhirou responded and continued to aim at the next evolved zombie.
Ray went back to the car, glanced at the rear compartment where Zhao Zhirou had already taken out and placed the rocket launcher, grabbed it, and left the car to return to the sunroof.
"Let's see how you like the big guns!"
With that, Ray raised the rocket launcher, aimed at the densest part of the horde, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Whoosh—
A rocket propelled by flames shot out immediately.
Boom, boom, boom—
The next second, it landed right in the midst of the zombie horde, exploding violently. A flame burst upwards, reaching a height of several meters, accompanied by a powerful shockwave that engulfed the surrounding zombies and vehicles in an instant.
The zombies swallowed by the blast need no further description; those close to the explosion point were turned to ashes, while those on the edges were riddled with shrapnel.
And the vehicles, without a doubt, were ignited by the flames, leading to a series of explosions.
This caused the ground to shake violently in succession.
"Hehe..."
"Woo...hoo hoo..."
Faced with such a strong impact, the mindless horde did not feel fear and continued to advance towards Ray's position.
Swoosh—
At that moment, a second rocket followed closely!
Boom, boom, boom—
A series of explosions occurred, and hundreds more zombies vanished.
However, the sheer number of the horde was overwhelming. Despite the massive losses, their end was still not in sight. They roared in masses, continuing to close in on the few survivors.
Fortunately, the forefront of the zombie horde was dealt with by Ray, extending the distance between them once more. Moreover, the aftermath of the explosions slowed down the horde's advance, significantly reducing the threat to Ray and his companions.
At least, they would not encounter this horde by the time they reached the expressway exit.
"Not enough! Still not enough!"
Hearing the sound of points being added in his mind, like notifications flooding his screen, Ray's eyes gleamed with excitement. He suddenly realized that this perilous situation might not be so bad for him after all.
He was about to launch the last rocket when...
"Ray! The zombies from across the Jiang Bridge are catching up!"
Liu Yuqing's somewhat anxious voice suddenly came through, interrupting him.
Ray immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the Jiang Bridge.
A zombie horde!!
Another horde!
At least three thousand in number!
And there were at least ten evolved zombies among them!
"Perfect timing!"
Ray lifted the rocket launcher in his hands. "Since it's like this, then I'll give the last one to you!"
Saying so, he aimed and pulled the trigger!
Boom, boom, boom—
The rocket shot out, landing in the midst of the horde nearly a thousand meters away from them, setting off a series of explosions.
"What a pity, out of rockets..."
Watching the horde on the Jiang Bridge being engulfed by a series of explosions, Ray let out a slight sigh.
Such a way of scoring points was just too exhilarating!
If he had more rockets, he would definitely fire a few more shots.
"Squeal—"
At that moment, the armored vehicle had reached the exit of the expressway. The tires screeched against the ground as the vehicle sharply turned, entering a small road.
Then, Jarvis's voice came through, "Sir, we have successfully exited the expressway!"
"We made it!"
Zhao Zhirou, also wearing a Bluetooth earpiece, heard Jarvis's voice, her face filled with surprise.
For Ray, this wasn't a big deal; after all, he had calculated all the data in his mind. He had known the outcome of safely exiting for some time.
"Jarvis, how far is the horde from us now?"
"Sir, one hundred meters away."
The distance hasn't widened?
Ray turned to look and found that the horde, somehow, had already crossed the large crater left by the rocket and was continuing to pursue them.
These points were literally walking up to their door!
"Zhirou, go get the grenades!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Zhirou responded, immediately putting away her sniper rifle and returning inside the vehicle.
In less than ten seconds, she brought up the weapon bag filled with all the grenades.
"These grenades have been modified to double their potency, so be very careful when using them."
Ray picked up a grenade, warned her, and immediately pulled the pin. Tensing his arm muscles and leveraging his immense strength, he threw it towards the horde.
"Doubled in power?"
Zhao Zhirou looked stunned, though she knew Ray was definitely not lying to her.
But after all, a grenade is only so large, and the amount of gunpowder it can hold is very limited; there must be a cap to its power.
How could this be possible?
What happened next, however, completely overturned her understanding of grenades.
As the grenade, propelled by Ray's strength—which was four times that of a normal human—landed squarely among the zombies a hundred meters away.
Following that...
Boom, boom, boom—
An astonishing shockwave burst forth, sweeping around and instantly engulfing nearly a hundred zombies.
Zhao Zhirou was completely astounded, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
Ray wasn't at all surprised by Zhao Zhirou's reaction. After all, these grenades had been systemically modified, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration even if their power was increased further.
"Don't just stand there, or else the horde from the Jiang Bridge will catch up, and if they merge, we'll be in trouble."
"Oh, right!"
Zhao Zhirou snapped out of it and immediately grabbed a grenade, throwing it towards the pursuing horde alongside Ray.
However, because she couldn't match Ray's strength, she could only manage to throw it in front of the horde, not into it. Of course, it was enough to create a blockade.
Boom, boom, boom—
When only ten grenades were left, they finally managed to put a distance of three to four hundred meters between themselves and the horde.
And as the armored vehicle's engine roared to its full capacity, the distance grew larger and larger. Ten minutes later, they had completely lost the zombies.
