It seemed An Xiaoran was truly addicted to looting for free.
But as far as Xiao Yu was concerned—if it belonged to someone else, he'd take it.
If it was unclaimed, even more reason to take it!
He also really liked these two armored vehicles.
Blast-Proof Armored Vehicles were different from military ones.
They had much larger interiors.
You could even sleep inside them.
Once the T-Virus broke out fully, this vehicle would be perfect for escaping S City.
Xiao Yu stored the armored vehicle in the Space Warehouse.
He'd clean the blood inside later—there wasn't much anyway.
"Come on, let's find a place to rest."
……
Governor's Office, S City.
Guo Weihui was overwhelmed.
Tragic reports from all districts of S City flooded in like snowflakes.
"1,280 dead in the East District."
"976 dead in the West District."
"1,490 dead in the South District."
"1,561 dead in the North District."
In less than a day, over 5,000 people had died.
That number was staggering.
Guo Weihui rubbed his aching temples.
"I'm barely holding on."
"And S City is becoming indefensible!"
A deep sense of helplessness washed over him.
Whoever a Zombie bit would become infected—and no one knew when or who would turn.
It was utterly uncontrollable.
Worst of all—
No one knew how many infected people were still hidden in the city.
They were walking time bombs.
One person could infect a crowd.
"Report!"
His assistant entered the room.
"The Paratroopers from the Ministry of Defense have arrived. They're gathering outside the city and will soon enter to assist us."
Reinforcements?
Guo Weihui's eyes lit up. At a moment like this, this was a godsend.
"How many?"
"One thousand."
Only a thousand?
That was a drop in the bucket—it couldn't possibly turn the tide.
"Governor, T-Virus Mutants are now appearing all over the country."
"The military is stretched thin—we'll have to find our own solutions."
Guo Weihui let out a long sigh.
He had held his position for many years, and his instincts had been honed razor-sharp.
With outbreaks across the globe, it was becoming clear that the T-Virus was beyond control.
He had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
"Hold out for one more day."
"If things aren't under control by tomorrow night, we must consolidate the grain depots, cold storage, and strategic reserves, gather all able-bodied personnel, and be ready to evacuate at any moment."
Guo Weihui was no fool.
If the T-Virus became unmanageable, he would not hesitate to evacuate S City.
His assistant was stunned.
"Governor, what about the 800,000 civilians in the city?"
Guo Weihui sighed. "If we have to retreat, it means the whole nation has lost control. We won't be able to save everyone."
"The only thing we can do is lift the lockdown and let the citizens escape on their own."
After saying this,
Guo Weihui felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He hadn't even had time to enjoy his wealth and success before the apocalypse struck.
"You may go now."
"Send someone to fetch my family. Keep a helicopter on standby."
"We still have one more day. Maybe—just maybe—things could turn around."
The assistant nodded and was just about to leave, when suddenly—
He felt an unbearable itch all over his body.
"Ah—!"
"Roar—!"
He began clawing at his skin like mad, as if a billion ants were crawling under his flesh.
He couldn't stop scratching.
"Guards!"
Guo Weihui shouted.
He had watched plenty of surveillance footage of Zombie transformations—he instantly recognized the signs.
Roar—!
The man who had just been reporting to him was now a Zombie.
"Shoot!"
Guo Weihui gave the order, his voice trembling.
Ratatatatatatata...
Gunshots rang out.
The newly turned Zombie was shredded, its brains splattering across the floor.
"Take it away, take it away!"
Guo Weihui said, still shaken.
He collapsed into his chair, freshly reminded just how dangerous things were now.
Your colleagues, comrades—
Even your closest loved ones—
Could, in the next second, turn into a monster that would tear you apart.
……
By now, the sky had gone completely dark.
Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes.
After sleeping for over two hours, he felt noticeably better.
An Xiaoran was still asleep.
Her spiritual strength was weaker than his, so naturally she took longer to recover.
Xiao Yu didn't wake her.
He quietly got out of the car and lit a cigarette to refresh himself.
And then—
He heard something.
A distant groaning.
Xiao Yu tensed, listening closely.
Their sports car was parked in an underground garage.
It was dead quiet—any noise could be heard clearly.
"Roar... roar..."
It was definitely the sound of Zombies, and more than one.
Xiao Yu quickly drew his Fire Axe and knocked on the car door.
Han Kexin rolled down the window.
"Kexin, stay here and watch over Xiaoran. I'll go check it out."
Xiao Yu gripped his axe and moved toward the source of the groans.
Because of the lockdown, the underground garage was packed full of vehicles—
The sight lines were terrible.
"Roar... roar..."
"Ahhh—help!"
It wasn't just Zombie sounds now—there were women screaming for help too.
Rounding a corner,
Xiao Yu finally saw them—
A dozen Zombies were pinning down three women, ripping them apart.
The scene was soaked in blood.
Organs were scattered everywhere.
Xiao Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
Not from the gore—
But from a deep sense of danger tightening in his gut.
