Professor Feng was also startled awake. He immediately reached out and pulled Xia Dong closer to him.
Only then did Xia Dong dodge the zombie’s claws. Otherwise, he’d have been infected for sure.
Sun Han and MO Cheng quickly got to their feet, each using their unique abilities: fire and electricity!
The zombie was directly ignited by these two abilities, causing it to howl loudly, an unpleasant and piercing sound. However, this also attracted more zombies to the scene.
Shui Ling’Er quickly pulled Wei Xinyi to her side, and both of them grabbed whatever they could find to fend off the zombies. They were weakened by hunger, but compared to before, they had made significant progress. In the past, they were as helpless as daisies when it came to confronting zombies. Since they had joined Fu Shinan, they had learned to be self-reliant. They firmly believed that Fu Shinan was still alive and would come back for them.
Man Yu and Zhang Xiaojuan also helped each other to stand, looking cautiously at the approaching zombies, ready to attack at any moment. Though life had become exceedingly challenging, they were determined not to be tortured to death by zombies.
After Fu Shinan and Ji Zan were blown away by the tornado, the iron door of the storage warehouse didn’t hold up for long. The relentless tornado eventually carried it away, leaving everyone exposed. Fortunately, the tornado had weakened considerably by that time, so they weren’t blown too far or high. After landing, they surveyed their surroundings and realized they were still in An Town. They looked at the remaining buildings and eventually found their way back.
Initially, they considered waiting for Fu Shinan and Ji Zan in the storage warehouse, even though their food supplies were dwindling. They believed they could survive for a while longer. Unexpectedly, a fierce storm hit in the middle of the night, and the tornado had destroyed half of the storage warehouse. Without the protection of the iron door, the continuous downpour made it impossible to stay there any longer. With no other options, they reluctantly abandoned the storage warehouse and found another place to shelter.
They had considered returning to the underground basement they had used before, but it was in a terrible state and inaccessible. To put it bluntly, apart from the remaining half of the storage warehouse, Peaceful Town was in ruins. Even the storage warehouse’s remaining supplies were contaminated by floodwater, rendering them inedible. Worried about zombie attacks during the night, they had no choice but to seek refuge in this elevated spot. However, even the high ground had now been overrun by zombies. It seemed they were rapidly approaching desperation.
Man Yu and Zhang Xiaojuan leaned on each other for support and stood for a while, but they were completely exhausted. They sat down on the ground with no energy left, and Man Yu, with a tired sigh, said, “If they want to bite us, let them. I hope they bite me and end my suffering. I can’t stand anymore.”
Xia Dong quickly helped her up and, with a hopeful smile, said, “Sister, don’t give up. You never know, there might be hope at the very last moment.”
Man Yu didn’t even have the strength to push him away. She rolled her eyes and weakly replied, “Do whatever you want. I’ve accepted my fate. That fall from the tornado probably damaged all my organs. Even if there’s food, I doubt I can last much longer.”
Professor Feng immediately called out, trembling, “You can’t give up! I’ve noticed you haven’t been coughing up blood these past few days, so your organs must be fine. You’re just hungry! Hang in there. Think about your story, the one with the domineering CEO and the charming doctor, it’s not finished
yet…”
Man Yu weakly chuckled, “The professor remembers that story? My CEO and doctor were blown away by the wind, no need to write the details, we can wrap it up with ‘they were blown away by the wind.’” She knew her internal organs were likely fine, but without water, without food, and enduring this scorching heat outside, how much longer could she hold on? She was truly exhausted.
Sun Han and MO Cheng weren’t in a much better situation. After a prolonged period without food, even with their special abilities, they were quickly running out of strength. Moreover, the increasing number of zombies was undeniably adding to the pressure.
MO Cheng couldn’t help but break into a sweat, his hands trembling. “This can’t go on. We need to get out of here quickly. How about we split up? We’ll manage to outrun a few of them.”
But as soon as he finished speaking, they heard the roar of a massive engine. A black SUV came rushing from a distance, crashing through several zombies with a thunderous impact. Following closely behind was a white SUV, which also plowed through a bunch of them..
