Gradually, the gunfire at the temporary command post subsided.
A soldier came up to the bridge to report: all Zombies in the veterans' family area had been eliminated, and those who were bitten had been placed in isolation.
They would be dealt with immediately if they turned.
Guo Weihui was dazed for a moment. After a reminder from the bridge commander, he picked up his wife's body and returned to the temporary command post.
Together with his daughter Guo Xiaoxiao, they dug a pit
and buried his wife.
Though he had never smoked before, he took a cigarette from a soldier and sat silently in front of the mound, smoking.
No one knew how much time passed.
The violent gunfire from the city snapped Guo Weihui back to reality.
"I'm the governor—I can't fall apart!"
He patted the dirt off his pants and returned to the command room immediately. Guo Xiaoxiao followed closely behind.
He was all she had left.
No matter what, she couldn't let her father leave her too.
Guo Weihui summoned his assistant to report the current situation.
"Report, Governor."
"Currently, there are mobs in all four districts—east, west, south, and north. Some even ran over soldiers with their vehicles in an attempt to flee."
Guo Weihui slammed the table in fury.
"Outrageous!"
"Has the military stationed outside the city agreed to send troops to track these rioters?"
"They've only agreed to send 1,000 men."
Damn it!
What good are a thousand soldiers?!
"Transmit my order—any soldier, whether on the ground or in the air, if they see a civilian vehicle driving on the road, open fire immediately—no warnings!"
Guo Weihui had had enough.
He used to sympathize with these rioters—
understanding that anyone under extreme mental pressure might act out.
But after watching his wife get bitten and turn into a Zombie—
a ruthless resolve took root in his heart.
That resolve instantly turned into an iron-fisted command.
"If these rioters aren't wiped out, who knows how many soldiers will die because of them."
"Lawless scum!"
"Even running over soldiers fighting to the death—unforgivable!"
Guo Weihui growled in fury.
Beside him, Guo Xiaoxiao shuddered inwardly. She had warned Bai Qianyuan to escape S City, and now her father had given the order to kill on sight.
Thankfully, Qianyuan had planned to flee at night—
it would be much safer.
......
On the streets, Han Kexin was driving an armored riot vehicle.
Earlier, Xiao Yu and An Xiaoran had already cleared out the storage warehouse of North City Walmart.
Next up, they would loot the supermarkets.
At that moment, three cars suddenly appeared ahead, racing toward them at full speed.
Han Kexin had experience by now.
These were people who had broken through the checkpoints. Their eyes were red—calling them rioters might be harsh,
but they were undoubtedly dangerous.
Judging by how recklessly they drove, they wouldn't stop even if someone stood in the middle of the road.
Forget braking—
they wouldn't even lift their foot off the gas.
Han Kexin swerved immediately.
She wasn't about to let the riot vehicle get hit. It was a good vehicle—she'd feel bad even if the paint got scratched.
Just then, the sound of helicopter rotors rumbled above.
Heavy machine guns suddenly roared without warning.
Tutututututututu...
A storm of bullets rained down, shredding the lead SUV into a sieve in an instant.
Everyone inside was torn to pieces by the machine gun fire.
Blood sprayed all over the windows. There wasn't a single intact corpse—
not a single person survived.
The machine gun didn't stop.
It continued spraying the two cars behind. Another burst of bullets—
both cars were disabled.
Blood mist erupted inside the vehicles. Body parts flew everywhere.
Organs splattered onto the seats, the windows, the windshield—
not one complete body could be found.
No one inside even had time to scream. Dead.
Han Kexin was terrified. She quickly made a U-turn and ducked into an alley.
Strangely,
the helicopter didn't pursue them—it flew away directly.
"What's going on?"
"Why didn't it shoot at us?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "You really want us to get shot by the helicopter?"
"That helicopter belongs to the Ministry of Defense."
"Our riot vehicle is from the police department."
"We're on the same side—why would it shoot us?"
Only then did Han Kexin understand.
She gave an awkward smile, then backed the riot vehicle out of the alley and continued toward the supermarket.
That afternoon,
Xiao Yu looted the last three large supermarkets in S City.
As for the smaller community markets—
he no longer considered them worth his time.
By now, darkness had fallen. It was night.
Staying out any longer would be dangerous.
Xiao Yu decided to head back and rest.
Even though he had an infinite-recovery bug and wasn't tired at all,
that didn't mean he could skip sleep.
Sleep didn't just restore physical energy—it also cleared fragmented data in the brain, like cleaning junk files from a computer.
Going too long without sleep
would lead to memory confusion and loss of focus.
In the apocalypse, that could be fatal.
......
Elsewhere,
Bai Qianyuan had just taken a shower.
She changed into a custom black motorcycle suit and black Martin boots, picked up her helmet, then checked her phone.
The residents' group had already made preparations to leave.
Everyone was gathering in the underground garage—departure in ten minutes.
Bai Qianyuan put on her helmet,
gripped her baseball bat, opened the door, and headed down the fire escape to the underground garage.
She pressed the key fob lightly.
Not far away, a black retro-style heavy motorcycle blinked its signal lights twice.
She walked up to it.
Secured the baseball bat to the modified rack on the bike, then started the engine and rode off toward the designated meeting point.
