Construction Site

These two were seasoned drivers as well. Judging by the tire pressure and driving tracks, they could tell the box truck was carrying a heavy load and had to be full of supplies.

"See? Our food's here, isn't it?"

A sharp glint flashed through the skinny man's eyes.

The two naturally assumed that some survivors had gathered a large amount of supplies and were returning fully loaded.

"I wonder if there are any cigarettes inside."

The bearded man looked expectant.

As the box truck drew closer, they saw more clearly that there was a pretty girl in the driver's seat.

"Since she ran into us, she can only blame her bad luck!"

A vicious look flashed through the skinny man's eyes. He slowly started the large truck, seized the right moment, and floored the gas.

He pulled directly across the road, blocking every way through.

"Screeeech—"

Seeing the sudden change, Su Xiaorou slammed on the brakes. A piercing scraping sound rang out as the tires left a black streak across the road.

The box truck came to a sudden stop less than a meter from the large truck.

"That was close!"

Su Xiaorou was still shaken.

She had stopped too abruptly. The entire box truck jolted, and because of inertia, Tank crashed into the back again with a bang.

He immediately felt stifled.

He decided to pay Su Xiaorou's five-star review in installments...

Lin Dong, meanwhile, remained quite calm. He could have guessed what had happened with his toes.

Sure enough.

Two men jumped down from the truck, their arms wrapped in tape and newspaper, bloodstained steel pipes in their hands.

"You two, get out of the truck!"

The bearded man immediately shouted.

Su Xiaorou looked over and understood what was happening. In the apocalypse, people eating people was common. They had only one goal: survive at all costs.

"Boss, what do we do?"

Lin Dong said nothing. Looking at their outfits, they resembled Wang Cong and the others who had smashed up his supermarket earlier. They were probably from the same place.

He glanced into the distance and saw a construction site.

That was the "Takeout Headquarters."

Lin Dong could not even be bothered to deal with this sort of trash. He would just leave it to his underlings.

Yet the two middle-aged men had no idea what was about to happen.

Instead, they approached the box truck with lecherous grins.

"Beauty, don't be scared. Big brother will take good care of you."

The skinny man spoke sleazily.

But just then, the Female Zombie inside the cargo compartment suddenly raised her head and immediately perked up.

Beauty?

Someone seemed to be calling me...

Take care of me.

I really want humans to take care of me...

These two humans seemed very warm.

So she pushed open the cargo door and jumped out.

The skinny man had just reached the vehicle door. If the people inside refused to cooperate, he was about to smash the door open.

"Oh? Little girl, you're pretty cute. If you cooperate obediently, I might spare your life."

"Co...operate, hehehehehe~~"

Suddenly, an eerie laugh sounded beside the man's ear.

It was obvious that the Female Zombie had eaten quite a lot of meat today and evolved again. Aside from basic crying and laughing expressions, she could now repeat simple syllables.

But when the man heard that voice, every hair on his body stood on end.

He turned his head.

He saw the Female Zombie's thin figure, an eerie smile still hanging on her face.

"Take... care."

The Female Zombie blurred, pouncing at him like a gust of wind.

She was unbelievably fast.

Afterimages had already appeared behind her.

"Fuck!"

The man was instantly terrified.

He had just raised his steel pipe, but the Female Zombie was too fast. She had already knocked him to the ground and sent him sliding three or four meters away.

"Second Brother, come help me!"

The skinny man struggled desperately and shouted anxiously.

But the bearded man ignored him and instead walked toward the back of the truck.

"Cigarettes, I want cigarettes. I need to find some cigarettes first..."

"You... Aah—!"

The skinny man had just begun to curse when a sharp pain shot through his neck. He had already received the Female Zombie's "tender care."

This time, he was truly in pain...

Meanwhile, the bearded man hurried to the back of the box truck. He thought it had to be packed with supplies—besides cigarettes, there might be fine liquor and a huge pile of food.

He could not wait any longer and violently pulled open the cargo door.

But all he saw were two zombie faces.

Doctor Zombie studied him with great interest, as if he found him very amusing.

Tank was still irritable, thinking that he had been bumped by the "black box" just now because of this little bastard~~.

The bearded man's eyes widened, and his entire body froze.

Clearly.

None of the wonderful scenes he had imagined appeared.

There were actually two terrifying zombies inside the cargo compartment!

But the next second.

He seemed to realize something.

He hurriedly took the half-smoked cigarette tucked behind his ear, lit it, put it in his mouth, and took two deep drags. Amid the swirling smoke, his face was full of satisfaction.

Then a large hand dragged him forcibly into the cargo compartment.

Within a few dozen seconds.

The surroundings fell quiet again.

Su Xiaorou sat in the truck, repeatedly curling her lips.

Miserable. Too miserable.

Those two probably had not checked the almanac before leaving home. They actually dared to block her boss.

Only then did Lin Dong finally speak.

"Let's go to that construction site beside us."

"Oh... okay."

Su Xiaorou immediately agreed.

Though she did not know why they were going there, as an employee, she needed to have an employee's awareness. She would go wherever the boss told her to go and not ask unnecessary questions.

Su Xiaorou restarted the vehicle and drove around the truck blocking the road.

They headed toward the construction site.

The construction site was surrounded by blue metal sheets.

The entrance gate had already collapsed.

There were many zombie corpses crushed by trucks around the area, with severed limbs and blood everywhere. The sight was horrifying.

Following the tire tracks, the box truck drove straight inside.

Lin Dong analyzed the situation. There should have been quite a few survivors at this construction site, and they had already formed a small settlement. Wang Cong and the others had come from here to harass him before, and the two men blocking the road today were probably from here as well.

Once or twice was enough. To avoid being disturbed again, Lin Dong decided to wipe this place out completely.

Receiving the signal to "hunt," the three underlings jumped out of the truck, their expressions becoming excited again.

They thought following their big brother was truly great.

They could always find prey and eat their fill of flesh and blood.

The construction site was fairly quiet. All the zombies had been beaten to death with clubs and thoroughly cleared out.

It seemed the people here were not weak fighters.

Ahead stood a half-finished, abandoned building that looked especially desolate. Yet at one corner of it stood a strange structure.

The entire building was poured from reinforced concrete, extremely thick and heavy. It had no windows, and even its doors were made of stainless steel plates.

There was no glass on the doors, only several fist-sized ventilation holes.

The building was as tall as three stories and covered a considerable area. It looked very sturdy, like a fortress.

Clearly.

It had been specially built to defend against zombies...
