Huff huff huff~

A tall, slender beauty ran desperately, with a group of ugly zombies chasing behind her. Their roars rose and fell continuously, their gray-black eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation. The bloodthirsty instinct of their bodies urged the zombies to devour fresh blood food.

Thump thump thump~

The tall beauty turned into a high-rise building, climbing up the staircase. The zombie horde flowed like water, closely following behind.

By the time she reached the eighteenth floor, the tall beauty was almost exhausted, her speed dropping sharply. But she had finally reached her destination. She pulled open the metal door leading to the rooftop, entered, immediately turned around to close the metal door, and twisted the key to lock it.

Bang bang bang~

The sound of zombies pounding on the metal door continued relentlessly.

"Whew~ Survived. I'm really amazing." The tall beauty collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily.

She took out a small bottle of water from her waist and drank it in small sips.

At that moment, another beauty who looked identical to the tall beauty and had the same height walked over. "Confirmed! There's a mutated zombie in the machinery factory!"

"Excellent! We can leave the Black Bear Survivor Base!" the tall beauty said.

Subsequently, the two women climbed over the rooftop wall and jumped onto another building's roof. The rooftops in this residential area were interconnected. Since all the zombies were concentrated in the western building, they moved across the rooftops to the eastern building, descended via the staircase, and successfully escaped.

The two women didn't rush back to the survivor base. Instead, they went to a café rooftop and waited for two hours until finally, a pigeon arrived.

"Miss Yun, we found a mutated zombie. Please inform the Boss," the tall beauty said.

The pigeon was none other than Yun Xiuzhi. The two women were the twins that Scar Tiger had offered to Li Xuan. The tall beauty who attracted the zombies was named Xia Bingxue, the younger sister. The beauty responsible for confirming the presence of a mutated zombie in the machinery factory was named Xia Xuebing, the older sister.

The reason the two women desperately searched for mutated zombies wasn't to obtain more food, but to leave the Black Bear Survivor Base.

Li Xuan had once told them that if they could find a mutated zombie, he would take them away from the base.

Originally, after being captured by the exploration team and brought back, the two women thought they were finished—doomed to be locked in a room and subjected to endless humiliation. Unexpectedly, they encountered Li Xuan. At first, they thought Li Xuan was a good person, someone with morals who wouldn't casually mistreat women.

Later, Xia Xuebing figured it out: Li Xuan didn't want dead weight!

Moreover, Li Xuan didn't take the position of base leader himself; instead, he let Scar Tiger take the role, showing no concern for the power within the base. With her keen intuition, Xia Xuebing guessed that Li Xuan would eventually leave the Black Bear Survivor Base.

They had escaped disaster because of Li Xuan, but once he left, Scar Tiger would definitely not let them off!

The mere thought of having to serve Scar Tiger made them nauseous, their stomachs churning.

Thus, to leave the Black Bear Survivor Base, after joining the exploration team, they worked hard to find traces of mutated zombies. Relying on older sister Xia Xuebing's intelligence and younger sister Xia Bingxue's agile skills, they finally found a mutated zombie.

Yun Xiuzhi looked at the two women, a flash of surprise in her eyes. "You're quite impressive. Scar Tiger searched for over a month without finding a mutated zombie, yet you actually managed to find one."

As time passed, mutated zombies' intelligence clearly improved. They learned to hide themselves and avoid human detection.

Even Yun Xiuzhi, flying through the air to search, had only found traces of mutated zombies in two locations. When she went with Li Xuan, they discovered the mutated zombies had long since fled.

"Scar Tiger might not have searched seriously. He probably wants to wait until the Boss leaves before capturing the mutated zombie himself to monopolize the supernatural characteristic," Xia Bingxue said. Since Scar Tiger wanted to mistreat them, she naturally fought back.

Yun Xiuzhi didn't fully believe what Xia Bingxue said; she was also aware of some conflicts between the two women and Scar Tiger.

Neither side was simple. The twin sisters knew how to use Li Xuan's power to leave the Black Bear Survivor Base. As for Scar Tiger, there was no need to elaborate—he was inherently sinister and cunning.

The twin sisters might be more kind-hearted and trustworthy than Scar Tiger, but they couldn't be fully trusted. Survivors tempered by the apocalypse were completely different from people before the end times.

"Keep an eye on the machinery factory. If the mutated zombie tries to escape, follow it and keep it in sight. Whatever you do, don't let the mutated zombie get away," Yun Xiuzhi instructed.

"Okay," Xia Bingxue nodded.

Yun Xiuzhi spread her wings, flew into the sky, and disappeared from sight.

Xia Xuebing said solemnly, "I hope the Boss is a man of his word. Otherwise, we're in trouble."

Xia Bingxue patted her sister's hand. "If he doesn't take us away, we'll find our own way to escape. We absolutely cannot stay at the Black Bear Survivor Base. That guy Scar Tiger is too disgusting. None of the women who served him ended up well—they all ended up with his subordinates after a while. I don't want to become a plaything for an entire team."

Xia Xuebing sighed, looking at the zombies wandering on the ground. "Relying solely on our own strength to escape is far too difficult. We don't have enough stamina, nor do we have enough food to support our escape from City G."

The nearest survivor base was in the neighboring city, requiring them to traverse both urban and suburban areas to reach it. Who knew how many dangers they might encounter along the way?

As for hiding in secluded spots like before?

That wouldn't work. Food and water limited their options.

Food in City G was becoming increasingly scarce, and water was also dwindling. They couldn't hide like they used to.

The two women anxiously made their way to a building near the machinery factory, with one watching the north gate and the other watching the east gate.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the two women heard a roar that shook the heavens.

The Prehistoric Colossus charged into the machinery factory, its massive body shattering the factory gates. Metal clashed against scales, sending sparks flying.

Countless zombie roars erupted from within the machinery factory, and instantly, a large number of zombies surged out, madly rushing toward the Prehistoric Colossus.

Boom!

The Prehistoric Colossus swung its tail, sweeping through thousands of troops. Zombies shattered upon contact, rotten flesh and broken bones scattering across the ground. With a single sweep, it annihilated dozens of zombies.

A massive claw reached out, its sharp talons tearing through steel!

The color steel roof of the machinery factory was ripped open, allowing sunlight to pour inside. The mutated zombie hiding within let out a roar, and numerous zombies received its command, charging forward relentlessly toward the Prehistoric Colossus.

Ignoring the ordinary zombies, the Prehistoric Colossus took steps forward, charging toward the mutated zombie. With each movement, it crushed over a dozen ordinary zombies underfoot.

Some ordinary zombies leaped onto the Prehistoric Colossus, but their rotten teeth couldn't penetrate the beast's scaly armor. Some zombies gnawed at the Colossus's outer skin, still unable to break through its defense, leaving only faint tooth marks.

The massive claw swiped at the mutated zombie, the sound of tearing air whistling through the factory.

The mutated zombie's speed suddenly skyrocketed, allowing it to dodge the claw. It rushed to the Colossus's feet and began climbing up its hind limbs.

Soon, the mutated zombie reached the Colossus's head and extended its fingers, attempting to pierce the Prehistoric Colossus's eyeballs to infect it.

Smack!

Suddenly, the Colossus fell forward like a collapsing Mount Tai, its face hitting the ground first, directly crushing the mutated zombie into a biscuit.
