Anna walked around the children's store. After returning to the vehicle, she pulled out a handful of child-tracking devices from her Nano-Storage Pocket.
They were all GPS trackers.
Once linked to a phone, they had no distance limit as long as the network was up—
very practical.
The military vehicle set off again and soon arrived at Jinhu, parking next to the riot vehicle.
Xiao Yu got out, connected Anna's phone to the tracker, and installed it underneath the car.
He was usually too busy—
whenever he went out, he had to scavenge constantly. Anna, having more free time, could check the GPS more frequently.
"All right, let's go back and rest."
...
On the other side,
Guo Weihui received a call from his superiors. As of today, sixteen cities nationwide had reported Infecteds.
Worldwide, 120 countries had confirmed the presence of Infecteds.
He instantly realized—
this wasn't just an ordinary disaster.
This was the apocalypse.
It was completely out of control.
"No, I must evacuate!"
But then he hesitated.
Corpse transformation was random—no fixed target or timing.
Evacuating with a large group
meant someone in the team could mutate at any time.
Especially at night, if one person got bitten,
the infection would spread at an unimaginable speed.
Guo Weihui was torn.
Evacuate or stay—
either way, the outcome seemed grim.
"I need to consult with the higher-ups!"
He picked up the phone and quickly dialed his superior.
Moments later,
he put the phone down in a daze. The response was the same—
Hold the line.
The reasoning was simple—
once evacuated, the crowd would form one large group.
If infection occurred, it would spread even faster.
But if they remained trapped in the city, they'd be safer.
If one person turned,
at most, it would infect their family.
And if they all turned into Zombies,
they'd be confined to their homes and unable to spread further.
This was considered a form of isolation—
currently the most effective defense measure.
Guo Weihui understood.
The higher-ups had already abandoned S City.
After a brief moment of dejection, he gathered his spirit.
"Go, bring Xiaoxiao to me."
"Yes, Governor!"
Not long after,
the valiant Guo Xiaoxiao entered the Governor's office.
"Father, if you're about to tell me to evacuate, don't bother."
Guo Weihui shook his head.
"It's too late to evacuate now."
"My daughter, I beg one thing of you—
don't go out anymore. Stay and protect your mother and your brother."
He had originally intended to send his wife and son away,
but with the latest command from above to hold the city,
he was unable to evacuate them.
"Xiaoxiao, the situation has changed."
"Infecteds have appeared all over the world. The outbreak is beyond control. Just today, my assistant turned into a Zombie right in my office."
"Do you realize how dangerous that was?"
"No one can guarantee that those around them won't mutate."
"Don't go out anymore. Stay with your mother and brother. If either of them turns, don't show mercy."
"If you turn first, the guards will handle it."
After saying this, Guo Weihui looked suddenly older.
Asking his child to kill her own mother or brother—
it was an agonizing decision.
But in the face of the T-Virus,
there was no choice.
Guo Xiaoxiao remained silent for a long time.
She had always taken pride in her uniform—
no matter how dangerous the outside world became, she had never once backed down.
But her father's words just now
moved her.
To Guo Xiaoxiao, duty came before family—
as long as her family's lives weren't in danger.
But now, the situation was so dire.
If she abandoned her mother and brother,
she would become a cold-blooded person—unfit to protect anyone.
"Dad, I promise. I'll take care of Mom."
...
Around 3 a.m.,
beneath Jinhu Hotel, sudden screams rang out.
"Someone mutated—help!"
"Get away! Don't bite me!"
"F***, who the hell stepped on me—AHHH!"
"Mom, Mom, where are you?"
"Move! Don't block me, damn it, die already!"
The refugee tent area erupted into chaos.
Some screamed, others jumped into the water with a splash.
Liu Tingting was jolted awake.
Having experienced a Zombie crisis in the hospital, she hadn't been sleeping deeply.
As a reader of many doomsday novels,
Liu Tingting immediately dove into the lake, climbed onto a boat, and paddled furiously—
not stopping until she was far from the man-made island.
The chaos on the island alerted the soldiers stationed at the bridge.
Three armed soldiers rushed in with rifles.
"Ratatatat... Ratatatat…"
After a burst of gunfire,
two Zombies were finally taken down.
Two others who had been bitten
were locked in a cage truck—
they would be executed after mutation.
But there was still uncertainty—
were there more bitten?
Administrative personnel quickly organized everyone,
separating men and women, conducting full-body inspections.
The work continued until dawn.
Fortunately, no one else had been bitten.
Gradually, people returned to their tents,
living in fear—
no one knew if the person beside them might be the next to turn.
A heavy atmosphere spread among the refugees.
Liu Tingting also returned by boat to the island.
She had nowhere else to go.
The outside was even more dangerous—
within 100 meters, there were bound to be Zombies.
Leaving the island was suicide.
...
Day 6 of the Apocalypse.
Four days left until full-scale T-Virus outbreak.
Xiao Yu woke up and leisurely had breakfast.
Last night's commotion hadn't disturbed him at all.
The soundproofing in the presidential suite was just that good.
"Is everything ready?"
"Today's mission—raid the mall."
Xiao Yu led the team into the elevator...
