Chapter 40: The Fading City (5)
A frustrated driver, wanting to understand the commotion outside, rolled down his window. As he stuck his head out, he saw a horrifying sight: a face with half of it bitten off was very close.
The driver was so shocked that he quickly tried to roll up the window, but he was too slow. The terrible smell hit him directly in the face.
A desperate scream erupted from inside the car as it crashed uncontrollably into a stone post by the roadside.
The entire intersection quickly descended into chaos. Traffic came to a complete standstill, and nothing seemed to be under control.
People who had fallen on the ground soon got up and began running much faster than usual.
Ye Nianchu, unable to see the details from her spot, could only see through the rearview mirror. It showed people running in panic and screaming.
She quickly took out her pistol, loaded it, and continued to watch the rearview mirror.
Not far behind, a young girl in high heels had tripped and fallen. She wore minimal clothing for the summer, and her arms and knees were badly scraped. She looked terrified and struggled to get up.
As soon as she managed to push herself up, she was attacked and bitten by the zombies that had caught up to her. The girl’s screams of pain and fear continued.
Ye Nianchu thought of only one word—zombie.
The zombies in this game were fast and agile. Those who got bitten changed into zombies very quickly.
The last time she went out for supplies, a crisis had started, and she had ended up stuck in the middle of the road. It was incredibly unlucky.
At that moment, with a loud 'bang,' a man crashed onto the hood of her car.
He was no longer recognizable as a human. His eyes were bloodshot, his skin was decaying, and he made a hissing noise from his throat. His teeth, stained with blood, still had bits of human flesh.
The zombie stared at Ye Nianchu inside the car, scratching at the windshield with its green, pus-covered hands. Its nails had fallen off, leaving only yellow-green pus on the glass.
While the car might be damaged, Ye Nianchu was more worried about the weapons in the trunk.
In a city with hundreds of thousands of people, a zombie outbreak would not be resolved quickly. The initial chaos could still be managed.
But now, she was really in a tough spot.
Abandoning the car and dragging the suitcase would make her an easy target. The zombies, with mostly intact bodies and hard skulls, were hard to deal with.
Additionally, these zombies were incredibly fast and still had working eyes.
Running away would use up a lot of bullets, which wasn’t efficient.
If she stayed, it would be hard to leave later when the situation was under control. Carrying a suitcase full of weapons would only make things worse, possibly leading to even more trouble.
The hissing of the zombie on the windshield attracted two more zombies.
Luckily, Ye Nianchu had chosen a car with strong safety features, so these zombies couldn’t break the glass.
She needed to make a decision quickly and find a way to escape.
At that moment, an out-of-control car was speeding toward her.
As the two cars were about to collide, Ye Nianchu finally found a way out.
She pressed the gas pedal, turned the steering wheel, and sped past the out-of-control car.
The screeching sound of scraping metal filled the air as the rearview mirror shattered. The two zombies were thrown off and run over by the car’s wheels.
The zombie on the windshield was injured from the collision but continued to hiss and try to break through the glass.
Finally, Ye Nianchu managed to escape from the trapped position she had been in.
