The fifth day of the zombie outbreak.

The explosions and gunshots continued.

There was no news from any of the survivor groups in the school.

I held a baseball bat at the door, without sleep all night.

It's been two days since I heard from my mother.

I messaged her again to let her know I'm safe, praying for her safety.

The sixth day of the zombie outbreak.

I couldn't hold on and slept for a while, but it was not restful.

I always dreamt that I turned into a zombie with a tumor on my head.

I woke up from the nightmares several times.

I kept checking the reflection on the phone screen to confirm I haven't mutated.

Waking up again, the rain gradually covered the sound of gunfire.

Many zombies began to seek shelter from the rain.

Only those zombies with huge tumors on their heads roamed the campus in the rain.

The heavy rain had no effect on them.

They seemed to have been enhanced, moving faster.

In the evening, Wen Ning finally woke up.

His left eye was extremely red, and his wounds had almost healed.

"Zhou Zhou, I'm hungry."

I immediately tensed up, gripping the baseball bat tightly in my hand.

Does Wen Ning want to eat human now?

"Zhou Zhou, want to have hot pot?"

He said as he moved slightly on the couch, taking out a box of Hai Di Lao self-heating hot pot from behind the sofa.

Seeing the blood in his left eye gradually fade, I relaxed my grip on the baseball bat.

Following the principle of not dying of starvation, we gobbled down a satisfying meal.

Happiness always comes too late.

I had eaten hot pot with Wen Ning more than once, but I never realized the value of those days.

I always thought our lives were long, that we could have countless hot pot meals.

It wasn't until the zombie outbreak that I realized life could end in just a few seconds.

Outside the window, intense gunfire rang out again.

Countless zombies with tumors on their heads seemed to be called to a central location by the gunfire.

Even the lower-level zombies hiding under buildings slowly walked towards the same direction.

We had just been discussing how to leave the school with Wen Ning, and I thought now was the best time!

The zombies in Building 5 had already been wiped out, so I stood on the roof to observe the best escape route.

The most intense fighting was near the library, so we couldn't go there.

Dozens of zombies with huge tumors on their heads patrolled the school gate as if on duty.

Finally, we decided to detour and leave through the back mountain path of the school.

With my exceptional vision and highly sensitive hearing, I managed to dodge one intermediate zombie with a tumor after another along the way.

The world outside the school was already a ruin.

Decayed shops, dark residential buildings, devoid of people.

While looking for the car Song Wei parked outside the school, we encountered a team of fully armed soldiers.

When they realized we were humans, they were shocked.

"Our team is on a mission and cannot escort you out. You can keep heading west towards Cloud City, where a quarantine zone has been established. As long as you pass the inspection, you can enter. In a couple of days, there will be a vehicle to take you to resettlement points in other cities. Take advantage of the rain and leave as soon as possible, wishing you safety."

"Wishing you safety too!"

Wen Ning and I quickened our pace.

Song Wei's car parked outside the school had already been severely damaged, with dented doors and shattered glass.

Fortunately, it was only cosmetic damage, and the car started successfully.

Taking advantage of the rain not stopping, we shook off the pursuing zombie horde behind us and ran all the way!

Gradually, I realized that the heavy rain not only slowed down the lower-level zombies but also accelerated their evolution!

I saw some rain-soaked zombies suddenly grow huge tumors on their heads.

After they mutated into intermediate zombies, we instantly became their targets as we passed by.

"Hold on tight!"

Before I could finish speaking, Wen Ning sharply turned the steering wheel!

Pressing the gas pedal, I was caught off guard and leaned against the door.

"Whoosh—"

"Poke—"

"Bang—"

After knocking down the intermediate zombie with a tumor on its head, our car collided with nearby abandoned vehicles due to the impact.

After braking, Wen Ning hit the gas pedal again fiercely!

Accelerate! Speed ​​up!

Wen Ning focused on the road ahead, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that the veins stood out from the effort!

Looking back, the fallen zombies twisted and crawled up, swarming after us!

After three hours of life and death speed, we finally reached the quarantine zone at night.
