Chu Han's eyes flashed with killing intent. Idiot!
He turned his head towards the direction of the voice. On the first floor of the male dormitory, Duan Ming was leaning out of the window, shouting at Chu Han, who was a hundred meters away. Because of his desperate shouting, the zombies that were aimlessly wandering began to gather in this direction.
"Chu Han! Hurry and save me! I'll give you money! My dad is..." Duan Ming saw Chu Han turn around and continued to shout loudly.
Chu Han didn't stop. He found a hidden patch of grass and crouched down, moving swiftly and silently, using the low bushes for cover.
Walking brazenly in front of a horde of zombies was practically asking for death.
As for what Duan Ming said, Chu Han didn't pay it any mind. Who cared about money or who your dad was? Money would soon become useless, and the world would return to a primitive era of bartering. Previous status was nothing in the apocalypse.
Seeing Chu Han leave without looking back from the window, Duan Ming gnashed his teeth in anger. Since the outbreak, he had been utterly shocked by the scenes outside and hadn't dared to open his door. He hadn't expected to see Chu Han escaping alone at this moment, and he also recalled the sounds of fighting from the corridor earlier.
Duan Ming's hope surged, and he immediately called out to Chu Han for help. To his surprise, Chu Han had simply ignored him and walked away!
Just as Duan Ming was contemplating how he would teach Chu Han a lesson after escaping, a chilling, heart-pounding roar suddenly sounded in his ear.
Roar—
A zombie suddenly appeared at Duan Ming's window. Its tongue and teeth, mixed with blood and minced flesh, magnified before his eyes. The stench of decay, the hideous face, the pale, terrifying pupils.
Bang! Duan Ming was so terrified that his soul nearly left his body, and he slammed the window shut!
Fortunately, he closed it quickly, completely blocking the zombie outside. Only then did he see that at least fifty zombies were gathering in this direction!
Locking the window and drawing the curtains, Duan Ming shut out all sight. However, the sound of the zombie desperately banging on the window didn't stop. In fact, the sounds became more frequent, bang bang bang, like the high-speed collision of machinery.
Mixed with the powerful roars, it was like a descent into hell.
Duan Ming was in a panic. The zombie horde had arrived!
The strength of a first-tier zombie wasn't great, but what if fifty zombies were banging on the window together? Everyone understood the principle of water dripping wearing through stone. This window wouldn't be able to hold back the pain-immune zombies for long.
Many people in the male dormitory building had seen the scene earlier from their windows. After all, Duan Ming's shouts weren't quiet. When they saw Chu Han walking out with a large backpack, a thought of survival unconsciously surfaced in everyone's minds.
A few people hesitated and began to pack their things. It was midday. At this time, they would normally be eating chicken legs in the cafeteria or taking their crush to a nice meal at a small restaurant. But now, the apocalypse had arrived, and there wasn't much food in the dorms. The instinct of hunger forced them to face reality.
Those who shared a dorm and happened to not have turned into zombies were a bit braver. They opened their doors a crack to observe outside. Then, more and more people opened their dorm doors, gripping steel pipes removed from bed frames, intending to leave together.
Even more people chose to stay in their dorms, desperately taking out their phones, which wouldn't even turn on. They wanted to call for help, to report to the police, but it was all in vain.
When those who escaped appeared in the first-floor corridor and saw ten zombies lined up, they were all stunned, as if in a dream. Their exploded heads emitted a foul odor, and brains were splattered everywhere on the ground. Their deaths were horrifying, arranged neatly head to tail.
Who did this? Who could kill ten zombies in one go?
Many people's legs trembled, and some with weaker psychological fortitude immediately collapsed on the ground and vomited.
When they followed the trail of zombies and saw the words written on the door of room 104, they felt dizzy. They themselves needed immense courage to face the zombies, and yet someone had already escaped and even provided them with convenience!
Was it that kid named Chu Han?
No way!
Chu Han didn't walk directly towards the school gate but headed towards the parking lot. He wasn't foolish enough to go on foot. When the apocalypse first broke out, there weren't many vehicles on the road, and cars were the best means of transportation.
He killed a few more zombies along the way, climbed over the fence, and took a shortcut to the parking lot. As he expected, several cars were parked there!
Among them was a flashy red Ferrari 458 and a G55.
Chu Han's eyes lit up when he saw the G55. The G-series ranked in the top ten civilian vehicles in the apocalypse, with strong off-road capabilities and incredible durability. Especially the front bumper, which could break steel-reinforced concrete pillars without deforming.
However, because it couldn't fit too many people, it couldn't accommodate a team of more than ten people at once, so its ranking wasn't as high as trucks or large buses.
Chu Han was in a hurry to get to Anluo City to pick up his parents and had no intention of forming a team for now. The G55 was more agile than a truck, making it the perfect choice for solo operations.
Chu Han carefully circled to the driver's side of the G55. The interior was very clean, with a few cute decorations on the dashboard and a photo of a man and a woman.
Coincidentally, the man in the photo was someone Chu Han had seen half an hour ago – Duan Ming. And the woman was Ji Qingliu, the campus belle of Mingqiu University.
This car belonged to Ji Qingliu. To be precise, it was a gift from Duan Ming to Ji Qingliu. The 458 that Chu Han had ignored earlier was Duan Ming's ride.
Chu Han narrowed his eyes. A memory, so distant he had almost forgotten it, surfaced. His lips curved upwards, and he smiled a sinister, cruel smile.
He took two steps back, gripped his axe, and then swung it with all his might. He lunged forward and smashed into the car lock on the rear passenger seat with a bang!
Crash! The force was so great that the glass shattered all over the ground.
Beep beep beep beep beep beep—
The G55 let out a loud alarm. Although Chu Han's movements were swift, his heart was also pounding. The car's alarm was really loud. He could already see more than a dozen zombies appearing about ten meters away, rushing towards him.
Chu Han quickly pulled open the door and jumped in, throwing his backpack onto the seat. He climbed into the driver's seat, chopped at the area below the steering wheel with his axe, and forcibly pulled out the wires to connect them.
He had done this countless times in his previous life – smashing open the dashboard to start the engine.
Mobile phones, computers, and other electronic devices had all malfunctioned the moment the apocalypse began. It seemed that with the advent of the apocalypse, an unknown energy had surged into the Earth, instantly frying these high-end electronic products.
Cars could still run, but only the audio broadcast function inside was still working. Although the national power supply system and information network had collapsed, the powerful government had taken measures at the earliest opportunity.
Radio stations were relatively less complex and would be repaired quickly. Primitive radios became the only way to obtain information about the world. Then, the country began airdropping rescue packages into various cities, containing various first-aid supplies, weapons, and food. At that time, the military would also receive orders to lead survivors away.
But Chu Han couldn't wait for that day. He had to get to Anluo City as soon as possible!
A few fast-moving zombies had already arrived, extending their sharp claws and scraping against the glass with a creak creak sound. Unknown pus filled with foul odor covered the car windows. They were getting more numerous, surrounding the car layer by layer, using the most direct and barbaric method, desperately slamming against the car body.
They wanted to feed, to tear apart the person in this car, and devour every inch of his body, even the filth within his organs!
As the number of zombies increased, the car body began to shake, and the windshield in front was blurry, covered in dark blood and rotten flesh. If this continued, the car would eventually be overturned by them.
Slam!
Just then, Chu Han finally got the connection, and the car started, letting out a reassuring roar. Chu Han cast one last glance at the zombies that were about to engulf the car.
He slammed the accelerator!
Roar!
The large SUV shot out like a cannonball. Its nearly two-meter height and massive body provided absolute dominance, directly crushing a group of zombies!
The mindless zombies didn't know to dodge, and even if they did, it would have been too late. Chu Han drove the large SUV right over them.
Bang bang bang!
Several zombies were smashed to pieces before they could even bare their fangs and claws in provocation. Chu Han zipped out of the parking lot, briefly identified the route, and headed towards the school gate.
"Ding Xue, what do we do? What do we do?" Ji Qingliu's eyes were red and swollen from crying in the dormitory. She had lost all the beauty and charm expected of a campus belle, becoming dejected and disheveled.
Ding Xue wasn't faring much better. She was just barely holding back her breakdown, her hands gripping the baseball bat tightly, her whole body stiff. Blood dripped from the baseball bat.
Facing them was a female zombie, half its head smashed in, lying on the ground. Brain matter and black blood splattered everywhere.
These were their former roommates, who had turned into zombies. Fortunately, the dormitory beds were all on the upper bunks, giving the two girls time to react. However, killing this zombie had nearly exhausted all their strength and shattered their psychological defenses, built over twenty years.
Just as the two were at a loss and filled with despair, the sound of a car speeding by outside suddenly whistled past, accompanied by the sounds of impact. It was exceptionally clear in this eerily quiet city.
"Someone's driving?" Ding Xue's eyes suddenly lit up. "Someone's escaping!"
The two immediately went to the window and saw an off-road vehicle driving towards the school gate in the distance, speeding along and crushing countless zombies.
Ji Qingliu didn't recognize it as her car because the G55 had become unrecognizable, covered in zombie blood. She excitedly grabbed Ding Xue's hand, her desire to escape becoming particularly intense.
Not just Ding Xue and Ji Qingliu, but countless male and female students were also peering out of their dormitory windows, witnessing this scene. Their eyes were filled with hope. If someone could escape, they could too.
Chu Han, who had left the school, was naturally unaware of the stir and hope he had brought to the students, nor could he have predicted that he would one day meet classmates from Mingqiu University again.
