Seeing the two cars less than twenty meters ahead, the group became desperate, as if they had grasped a lifeline.

“Quick, quick, let’s ask them for help!” The tall and muscular boy at the front, called A Ling, immediately opened the car door and rushed toward the vehicles.

The other four, their legs weak, stumbled down from the G-Wagon and began to run toward the cars.

“We should leave,” said Nan Muran calmly from the backseat.

Jia Wu immediately relayed Nan Muran’s intentions to Han Yingting and the others using the intercom.

The two vehicles started moving, intending to leave.

“Don’t go! Help… help us!” The five people behind were terrified, their faces pale as they watched the cars about to leave.

“There’s still people behind, don’t go!”

“Please help us, please!” A girl with a student’s appearance was already crying.

The cries for help echoed behind them, but the eagle and the driver of the car, Fifteen, didn’t bother to wait.

Han Yingting and the others intended to help, but considering the dense zombie horde that had followed them, it was obvious that the actions of the five people earlier had caused this situation. They decided it wasn’t worth getting involved.

“Looks like we can’t leave either,” Eagle said helplessly, watching the situation ahead.

About a hundred meters in front of their cars, a dense zombie horde was moving toward their direction.

It was impossible for the cars to drive through and smash so many zombies.

With enemies behind them and danger ahead, leaving was impossible; they had to find another way.

Nan Muran sighed. “Let Han Yingting and the others fall back.”

The two cars quickly adjusted their positions and lined up on the bridge.

Once the cars were parked, everyone quickly got out and started observing the surroundings of the elevated bridge.

The elevated bridge they were on stretched far out of sight, and the dense zombie hordes at both ends of the bridge made their hairs stand on end.

Moreover, the zombies at both ends were gradually gathering toward the center of the bridge, where they were.

The three men and two women who had gotten out of the G-Wagon looked at Nan Muran and the others with growing awe, momentarily forgetting their fear.

This was because Nan Muran and Si Ye, walking ahead, were too striking.

“They don’t look easy to mess with,” the boy with black-rimmed glasses, called Shu Dai, whispered.

These people carried an intimidating and cold aura. Since the apocalypse, he had seen many strong individuals at the base, but it was the first time he felt intimidated by the sheer pressure emanating from their presence.

However, A Ling, the leader, wasn’t worried.

His father was the second-in-command at Lan City’s safe base. With such a position, what could these people do to him?

Besides, since the apocalypse, his family had raised many superhumans to increase their strength.

Wasn’t everyone respectful toward them?

With that thought, he walked directly toward Nan Muran, his eyes gleaming. “I’m Zhou Ling, and I—”

But Nan Muran completely ignored him.

Beside her, Si Ye’s cold eyes swept over him without any emotion, as if seeing through him.

Zhou Ling felt as if his life was about to end. Whether it was his imagination or not, he could even feel a chill creeping up his neck.

Nan Muran began to carefully assess their surroundings.

They were positioned on an elevated bridge about ten meters above the ground. Below them was a road that crossed the bridge at a right angle. Though there were zombies on the road, the number was far fewer than on the bridge.

“Cheng Cheng, can you control the car and make it go down?” Nan Muran didn’t plan on dealing with the zombie tide directly—it would be too exhausting.

Moreover, she was well aware that the forces behind such a large zombie horde had to be an extremely powerful zombie, at least a Level 5 Zombie King to command such an army.

Cheng Cheng nodded after testing his control power by lifting the cars slightly. “I can do it in two rounds.”

After their first task of picking fruit from the Luán tree, Colonel Chen had specifically given them four Luán fruits to enhance their abilities.

Additionally, their hunting along the way had allowed them to absorb many zombie cores, and Cheng Cheng’s control ability had now reached the early stage of Level 3. His control over weight and volume had increased geometrically, so controlling a car was no problem.

“Nan Nan, look ahead…” Before Cheng Cheng could act, Jia Wu pointed toward the road far below.

After everyone looked closely, they noticed that the two ends of the road were surrounded by zombies, just like the bridge.

“I feel like these zombies are a bit smart,” Han Yingting frowned, the organized attack on humans was something he hadn’t seen before.

Nan Muran sneered. “It’s not the zombies that are smart, it’s the one controlling them.”

“Could it be… they’re coming for us?” Jia Wu was uncertain. They had been hunting along the way, and it was possible they had attracted some powerful creatures.

Nan Muran shook her head, unsure.

She focused her mind and began to scan the surroundings with her spiritual power.

Beyond the dense zombie hordes, about a kilometer ahead, she found a giant zombie. A Level 5 Fire Zombie King—no, there were more than one.

There was also a Level 5 Water Zombie King behind them.

This was… a fire and water conflict?

“They’re not after us. We’ve accidentally walked into their agreed battlefield. But looking at this situation, we really can’t leave.”

Looking around, within a few hundred meters, the area was swarming with zombies, making their skin crawl.

The five people who had gotten out of the G-Wagon looked at the situation and their legs went weak. They truly shouldn’t have gone out today.

They had accidentally stumbled into a zombie battle of this scale.

“So, what should we do now? Wait here and die?” A girl in a red woolen dress and white shoes looked at Nan Muran and the others.

Eagle gave her a big eye roll. “You’re you, we’re us. Don’t lump us all together, okay?”

“Are you still concerned with words when we’re all about to die?” The girl was upset.

She was very pretty, and before the apocalypse, she was never short of attention from men. Since the apocalypse, with a strong boyfriend, she hadn’t experienced much hardship. So this was the first time she encountered a man who treated her with such disregard.

“If we’re all going to die, it’s your fault, not ours,” Eagle shot back, his words biting.

The girl was left speechless, rebutting, “As if these zombies will avoid you.”

Eagle snorted dismissively at her words.

Si Ye’s gaze, however, was fixed on an abandoned water tower not far below the bridge. “Why don’t we hide there?”

“Good idea,” Han Yingting and the others readily agreed.

The water tower was about twenty meters from the bridge, and though there were a few scattered zombies approaching, it wasn’t a problem for them.

“Let’s leave the cars.”

Nan Muran spoke, and Han Yingting and the others quickly returned to their cars to grab their bags.

Once ready, Eagle picked up Xiao Qi.

The eight of them climbed up the guardrail on the side of the elevated bridge near the water tower.

The five people from the G-Wagon stood dumbfounded. What were they doing? Were they planning to commit suicide?
