Their expressions shifted slightly, and they instinctively rose and rushed onto the roof of the truck.
The night was lightless, with endless dark clouds shrouding the entire sky.
"Ye Lin! Something seems wrong!"
Huang Liang called out urgently, his right eye fixed on the scope. Although it had night vision, the light was so faint that he could only make out vague shapes moving in the darkness.
"Use a flare!"
Ye Lin barked the order. Huang Liang hesitated briefly, then disregarded the risk of attracting zombies, drew his pistol, and fired into the sky.

"ROAR!!!!"
Their shrieks seemed to fill the entire world.
Inside the cab, He Zheng's expression changed drastically, while Hu Jia stumbled backward in terror.
Fast! They were far too fast!

In the space of a breath, the gap between them rapidly shrank!
At their respective speeds, the two sides would collide in half a minute at most!
"Open fire!"
Ye Lin shouted and immediately opened fire before the zombies could get close.
Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat!
Flames spat from the muzzles, illuminating their faces.
The five of them hurried into positions around the truck's roof and sprayed gunfire
