CHAPTER 927: CHAPTER 218: EVERYONE HOPES FOR A GREAT MOUNTAIN AT THEIR BACK

But now that she’s not by my side, it’s clear she has perished in the apocalypse.

The woman next to him had short hair, and her rough face also made her look not so fragile.

There was a slope ahead, making it impossible to see further.

The jeep came to a stop.

The two survivors from the vehicle behind also got out, a man and a woman, clearly part of a four-person team surviving the apocalypse. Survivors forming teams now are all trustworthy among each other.

They slowly approached the slope, lying there, quietly peeking their heads over.

The sight before their eyes made their faces heavy with seriousness.

The tattooed bald man said, "There are so many zombies; if we force our way through, it might be a bit troublesome."

"Old Wang, I’ll drive a car and let Xiao Qin ride with you. I’ll lure this group of zombies away, and then we’ll meet at Old Fang Mountain," said the man named Zhu Gui, who was thin and weak-looking, but unexpectedly brave.

"Are you confident?"

"Yes, I’m confident. I used to go on road trips here, so I’m quite familiar with the terrain. Although these zombies might run fast, catching up to me is impossible," Zhu Gui smiled, appearing very at ease.

In the end, everyone agreed.

"Be careful."

"Don’t worry."

Zhu Gui drove the car straight up the slope, looking at the stumbling zombie horde without a trace of panic. He abruptly honked the horn, the piercing sound instantly waking the zombies from their slumber.

"Ho ho"

"Ho ho"

A dense sound of roars echoed.

Zombies rushed towards the jeep driven by Zhu Gui like mad dogs, while Zhu Gui floored the accelerator, kicking up a thick cloud of dust as he sped towards the distance.

The zombies were fast, seemingly oblivious to the terrain. Even when tripped, they would quickly get up and continue their ferocious pursuit of the vehicle.

Only after the zombies were lured away did Old Wang and the others drive their vehicle.

After who knows how long.

Zhu Gui looked at the situation behind the car, with only a few scattered zombies following. He reversed and crushed the trailing zombies beneath the car.

"Heh, chase me? You’re not even considering if my driving skills are top-notch; it’s utterly pointless."

Having dealt with those few zombies.

Zhu Gui prepared to head to Old Fang Mountain to meet with Old Wang and the others.

He had known Old Wang since the beginning, you could say they met at the initial outbreak of the apocalypse when hiding at home was the safest for survivors.

However, as resources were depleted, they had to find ways to procure supplies.

Later, during an attempt to escape, he encountered a pursuit by zombies. He thought he was done for, but unexpectedly, Old Wang saved him. At that time, Old Wang had his daughter with him and was hiding with a group of survivors in a building.

At that time, there were about twenty or thirty survivors hiding together.

But among them was a rather capable leader who collected all the supplies, distributing them by allocation, while using the terrain at the time to gather more supplies from nearby shops. Everything seemed to be developing beautifully.

But he and Old Wang underestimated the fearsome nature of human instincts.

No one in the apocalypse is willing to be governed, or rather, to see precious supplies controlled by one person. So, within their group of survivors, someone began forming small cliques, inciting other survivors.

The plan was to kill everyone, saving supplies.

And the devious antagonist planned to trick them into a closed room that contained zombies, causing instant chaos where many were bitten to death by zombies.

Many were dumbfounded by the scene before their eyes.

Only Old Wang, wielding a knife, decisively dealt with that zombie and killed those who were about to turn into zombies even faster. But no one expected that Old Wang’s adorable daughter was caught by a zombie in the chaos.

It was thought that a scratch wouldn’t turn her into a zombie, but who knew, she turned only a little later than others.

He watched as Old Wang, with tears streaming down, strangled his daughter, who was about to become a zombie, to death.

He knew Old Wang was in great pain.

Then he watched as Old Wang, with a knife tied in his hand, silently went upstairs. When he followed, he saw that group of instigators had already been hacked to death by Old Wang, their leader mutilated beyond recognition.

Old Wang sat in the corner, head down, not saying a word, with blood dripping from his held knife.

The scene stunned everyone.

Including him.

Later, he learned that Old Wang had grown up in Shaolin Temple. After returning as a teenager, he joined the local mob, becoming a club owner’s top enforcer.

In his teenage years, full of youthful vigor, fierce and daring, having practiced martial arts, ordinary men were no match for him. He helped his boss settle many problems.

Later, in his twenties, a woman dropped a child at his doorstep, claiming it was his. Old Wang was bewildered by this revelation, thinking about how he had lost his father early and his mother remarried, ignoring him.

In his childhood, he was lonely and often bullied.

He didn’t want his child to face the same fate.

So he quit that business, using the money he had saved up over the years, opening a liquor store in the locale, thriving due to numerous former acquaintances, raising his daughter alone.

Later, Old Wang decided to drive out of the city. He, being somewhat familiar with Old Wang, silently followed him out. What became of the rest of those survivors is unknown.

As for the two female companions by their side now.

They were both saved by Old Wang.

The apocalypse is unfriendly to women, encountering reliable survivors was a blessing; encountering unreliable ones would only lead to becoming tools for venting in the apocalypse.

Gradually.

The four of them formed a team, supporting one another in the apocalypse, always staying away from cities, active in desolate areas, surviving while gathering resources.

It’s not that they don’t want to settle down somewhere.

But finding a stable place in the apocalypse is difficult.

Now, having received word about Old Fang Mountain.

They decided to go and check out the situation over there.

At that moment.

Just as Zhu Gui was about to leave, he saw a silhouette appear in a store ahead.

Looking carefully.

It seemed like a woman; the woman appeared to be holding a child in her arms.

Zhu Gui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Licking his lips.

Feeling a bit indecisive.

Should he ask about the situation from the other party?
