Ji Zan watched as more and more zombies emerged and quickly reached out to grab Fu Shinan. “Run fast.”

Startled, Fu Shinan reflexively clung to Ji Zan’s clothes and shouted, “Put me down, I can run on my own.”

Ji Zan didn’t answer, and there was no time to answer. He held onto Fu Shinan and glanced around before sprinting north, where they hadn’t searched yet. Because Fu Shinan had no pants and was just wrapped up, letting her run on her own would probably not outpace the zombies.

Fu Shinan looked back and couldn’t help but break into a sweat. Why were there suddenly so many zombies? The most important thing was that their running speed had become similar to ordinary humans. “There are too many zombies, let’s go back to the previous metal shack. I have strengthened it, so it should hold.”

Ji Zan hesitated for a moment, looked around, and indeed found no other hiding places. He had no choice but to run back to the metal shack they had been in before.

As they sprinted all the way, they finally reached the metal shack, and Ji Zan had just locked the door when the zombies caught up.

The sound of zombies scratching the metal sheets outside sent shivers down Fu Shinan’s spine. She took a deep breath and immediately reinforced the metal shack. Fortunately, it was not a large space, and with her and Ji Zan close together, the level of reinforcement rapidly increased. In no time, their defense was strengthened to 150 percent.

But before Fu Shinan could catch her breath, she heard a notification sound from the system, indicating that their defense was gradually decreasing. It seemed that even the metal shack couldn’t hold up. She glanced up at Ji Zan and saw his furrowed brows. It was still daytime, and at night, there would be even more zombies. Staying here, even if they weren’t bitten by zombies, the sound of scratching on the metal sheets would drive them crazy. Who could endure that?

After a while, Ji Zan couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up. “We can’t just sit here and wait to die.” He got up and kicked the door open.

“Wait!” Fu Shinan wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Ji Zan rushed out, and immediately, there was a series of dull thuds outside the door.

For some reason, Fu Shinan remembered the night she had moved to the basement and heard the same sound. Could it really be Ji Zan?

Just then, Ji Zan shouted, “Fu Shinan, come out quickly.”

Fu Shinan quickly got up and saw the floor covered with zombies, with Ji Zan finishing off the last one, punching it in the back of the neck. The zombies that night had also died like this, so it really was him!

Ji Zan didn’t notice Fu Shinan’s expression and quickly grabbed her hand. “Let’s get out of here first!”

Fu Shinan was pulled by Ji Zan, but after running a few steps, she almost fell to the ground. Her legs were wrapped in a piece of cloth, and she couldn’t take big strides. She was so angry that she wanted to smash a wall. She shouted, “Wait a moment.” She shook off Ji Zan’s hand and swiftly tore a large slit in the fabric.

Ji Zan saw this and looked at Fu Shinan with a touch of admiration in his eyes.

As they continued on their way, they encountered several more zombies, all of which Ji Zan dealt with.

Seeing more and more zombies on their way, some of which seemed to have suddenly appeared, Fu Shinan furrowed her brow again. Why hadn’t they encountered any zombies yesterday? Even at night, there had been no sound. What was going on today? Could it be that even zombies had their own rules of activity? Did they also rest?

Suddenly, Fu Shinan heard a very piercing howl.

The zombies behind them also hesitated for a moment, all looking in one direction.

Thinking back to the several times she had encountered zombie waves at the base, Ji Zan realized something and his face changed dramatically. “This is not good; there’s a leading zombie calling for its companions! We need to find a larger cover quickly. Come on, I’ll carry you.” Without giving Fu Shinan a chance to object, he grabbed her arm and hoisted her onto his back.

Wearing only a thin piece of cloth, Fu Shinan felt embarrassed as she carefully picked her way forward. But she also knew that now wasn’t the time to be self-conscious. If she made one wrong move, her life would be in danger. Thinking back to the night when Ji Zan was drugged and she had participated in blocking the zombie wave, she had witnessed the existence of leading zombies. No wonder there had been no activity last night; they had all been gathered by the zombie king. Today, with a sudden zombie outbreak, there was no way they could stop it with just the two of them.

Ignoring the physical contact between them, Fu Shinan scanned the area for potential cover. With such a large-scale zombie presence, it seemed like they were really far from An Town.

Ji Zan continued running northward since they had just come from the direction they had visited before. All the places they had been to had already been checked and offered no hiding spots.

Amidst the vast ruins, Fu Shinan kept searching and suddenly spotted a building that was significantly taller than the others. It stood defiantly against the onslaught of the tornado, a testament to its resilience. She immediately called out, “Ji Zan, over there!”

Following Fu Shinan’s pointed direction, Ji Zan also spotted the building. Without hesitation, he sprinted towards it..
