The Trapped Survivor

When Zhao Tianlei crippled the three men, Cheng Yao couldn't help but feel scared, especially afraid that Zhao Tianlei would kill them. No matter what, even though those people deserved to die, Cheng Yao was still a student. If she saw the man she relied on killing someone, she would naturally feel some fear. Perhaps because of this, Zhao Tianlei didn't kill the three of them in public, but only crippled them and let the zombies deal with them.

The car drove on for a while, and its speed gradually slowed down. Although there were no zombies in front or on either side, the many abandoned vehicles had become obstacles. Whether it was ordinary cars or luxury cars, they were all thrown to the roadside, which was enough to show the panic and congestion at the scene at that time.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Yao couldn't help but say to Zhao Tianlei, "Tianlei, there are more and more cars stopped on the road ahead. I'm afraid we won't be able to get through if we drive any further. It seems that when the apocalypse broke out, the entire city's traffic was paralyzed. The cars ahead must be completely blocked, otherwise, people wouldn't have abandoned their cars and fled when facing those zombies."

After listening to Cheng Yao's words, Zhao Tianlei couldn't help but look into the distance. As far as the eye could see, the streets were densely packed with abandoned vehicles. It seemed that if they continued to drive forward, they would stop within 50 meters.

Zhao Tianlei immediately said, "Let's park the car here and proceed on foot. There are abandoned cars everywhere, and there might be zombies hiding. If we drive, the sound of the car might attract a zombie horde, and it will be difficult to escape."

As he spoke, Cheng Yao slowly stopped the car. Just as she was about to pull out the key, Zhao Tianlei stopped her and said, "Leave the key here. This car isn't ours anyway, so taking the key is useless. Maybe some survivors will appear later and want to hide in the car or rest. It's like leaving them some hope."

Although Zhao Tianlei's action seemed insignificant, in a world that had become an apocalypse, one had to leave some fallback plans, even if not for oneself, but for others. Even if humanity was lost in the apocalypse, good people would eventually be rewarded. Even if some good people didn't get their due, bad people would definitely be condemned and even face retribution.

The two of them ate and drank a little in the car before slowly opening the car door and getting out. After getting out of the car, Zhao Tianlei was still carrying a large backpack and holding a fire axe. Cheng Yao's backpack was obviously much smaller, and she was holding a watermelon knife. They walked hand in hand, advancing cautiously. Although there were abandoned cars everywhere on the road, the two of them didn't know what had happened. Apart from the bloodstains, everything else was a mystery.

After walking for more than ten minutes, seeing that there was not a single person around, not even a zombie, Cheng Yao was filled with doubt and said nervously, "Tianlei, why is it so strange here? Not to mention people, I can't even find a single zombie. Could it be haunted?"

Zhao Tianlei couldn't help but laugh at Cheng Yao's words. "Ghosts? We've already experienced flesh-eating zombies, are we still afraid of scary ghosts? After all, those ghosts can only scare us at most. Compared to flesh-eating zombies, they're quite cute."

Cheng Yao was speechless at Zhao Tianlei's explanation, but it made sense. In this era of rampant zombies, where would there be any ghosts and monsters? Especially after the near-death experience, Cheng Yao truly felt that ghosts and monsters were much cuter than zombies.

"Wait." Just as Cheng Yao was thinking and following Zhao Tianlei, Zhao Tianlei suddenly stopped and pulled Cheng Yao, showing a wary expression.

Seeing Zhao Tianlei so serious and nervous, Cheng Yao was startled and quickly hid behind Zhao Tianlei, holding her watermelon knife defensively. But after quietly looking around for a long time, she found nothing unusual. However, Zhao Tianlei still looked nervous. Cheng Yao knew that with Zhao Tianlei's abilities, he wouldn't be like this for no reason, so there must be a reason.

After waiting for a long time, Cheng Yao saw nothing, not even a shadow. Her heart became very tense and scared. She whispered to Zhao Tianlei, "Tianlei, what happened? Why can't I see anything?"

Zhao Tianlei said softly, "There's movement ahead. I think I heard the sound of zombies, and there are quite a few of them, a whole horde."

Upon hearing Zhao Tianlei mention zombies, Cheng Yao froze. She looked around but couldn't see any zombies. Her fear of zombies made her even more nervous. "What? How can there be so many zombies? Why can't I see them?"

Little did she know that after evolving, Zhao Tianlei's vision and hearing had greatly improved. In fact, Zhao Tianlei hadn't seen any zombies either, but he had heard those faint "uh uh" sounds. Moreover, based on those sounds, Zhao Tianlei judged that the source of the sound was not far ahead, not too far from him, but there were quite a few of them. However, Zhao Tianlei couldn't determine the exact number.

What made Zhao Tianlei very curious was what could attract so many zombies together. In Zhao Tianlei's understanding, what could make these zombies gather together and make such sounds must be prey in the eyes of the zombies, that is, survivors.

No matter what it was, Zhao Tianlei needed to observe the situation clearly to determine the route ahead. Immediately, Zhao Tianlei pulled Cheng Yao and cautiously moved forward. Their speed was not fast. To be safe, they advanced very slowly, obviously worried about being discovered by the zombies.

After the two passed through a street, they finally got closer to the sounds. Zhao Tianlei and Cheng Yao finally found the source of the sounds: a group of zombies. At this moment, the group of zombies was surrounding a small supermarket, constantly pounding on the door. It was clear that there were quite a few survivors gathered inside, and it was these survivors who had attracted these zombies.

Judging by the number alone, there were at least over a hundred zombies. Even though Zhao Tianlei had become a Second Class Soldier Evolver, he usually didn't pay attention to zombies. But facing such a large number this time, although Zhao Tianlei wasn't scared, he had to be careful. These zombies were slow-moving, but once they discovered them, they would swarm them. Especially in the city streets, hidden zombies could emerge from all the surrounding streets and houses.
