Zombies were more active at night, and the streets became even more dangerous.
Xiao Yu and his group had a rough time moving forward.
They frequently encountered zombie hordes of varying sizes—from as few as three to five, to as many as a dozen or more.
Whenever they encountered such groups,
Xiao Yu would usually have Kexin stop the vehicle, then step out himself to eliminate the Zombies.
After all, they could drop loot—
especially experience orbs, which they desperately needed.
After today's large-scale sweep, both his and An Xiaoran's Space Warehouses had only about 10% capacity left.
While they had stockpiled enough food and daily necessities,
they would still need plenty of building materials after leaving S City to establish a base—things like rebar, cement, sand, gravel, etc.
They also needed to collect heavy-duty construction vehicles.
All of these resources were outside the city.
If they could upgrade the Space Warehouse before leaving S City,
they could sweep up building materials more efficiently on the way out.
Once they found a suitable base location,
they could begin construction immediately.
"Captain, another zombie horde up ahead—about a dozen."
"Stop the car."
The riot vehicle came to a halt. This time it was Han Kexin and Liu Tingting's turn to clean up.
Xiao Yu had arranged a rotation schedule.
For small zombie groups, two-person teams were enough.
No need for everyone to act at once.
After getting out, Han Kexin enchanted her handgun with Mental Enchantment and quickly headshotted two Zombies.
Liu Tingting swept down another one with her submachine gun.
Ten Zombies remained, charging toward them.
Han Kexin wielded a Tang blade.
Liu Tingting gripped her katana.
They immediately split up, circling the horde and slashing rapidly as they moved.
They had practiced this tactic many times—
now they were extremely proficient.
One by one, the Zombies were decapitated.
Soon, the area was cleared.
Four Lucky Chips dropped to the ground—Xiao Yu picked them all up.
[Ding! You picked up a Lucky Chip, which transformed into an "Experience Orb." It has been automatically stored in the Space Warehouse.]
Nice.
Another experience orb!
Xiao Yu handed it to An Xiaoran, who crushed and absorbed it. The Space Warehouse upgrade progress reached 50%.
Just five more to go.
"Everyone listen up."
"Even though it's night, it's still early. Let's stay out a bit longer and keep hunting Zombies."
Xiao Yu was hooked.
Just like in a game, when rare gear drops, motivation skyrockets.
He was eager to get more.
"Kexin, when you're driving, stick to main roads."
"Avoid going into dark alleys."
The city's power grid was still working—
the whole city was lit up at night.
As long as they avoided poorly lit alleys, they wouldn't be in serious danger.
But elsewhere—
a convoy was deliberately sticking to narrow backstreets.
This convoy consisted of fifty to sixty vehicles, including both SUVs and sedans. Under the cover of gunfire at night, they headed toward the South City Bridge.
Because they took alleyways,
they bypassed all the checkpoints.
Bai Qianyuan was one of the convoy's members.
She was the only one on a motorcycle—
and also the most exposed to zombie attacks.
Luckily, even though the convoy was using alleys,
the SUVs could still get through. If they encountered Zombies, she could speed ahead—
and the following cars would crush the Zombies under their wheels.
Gradually,
the convoy approached the South City Bridge.
All vehicles turned off their lights.
Then, lined up in formation, they all floored the gas pedal—the engines roared wildly.
"Did you hear that?"
"It's all gunfire out there—what other sound could there be?"
"No, it sounds like a bunch of cars are coming our way."
"Impossible. The rioters were already crushed by force during the day. Who'd still dare storm the bridge?"
The soldiers at the bridge didn't believe anyone would be that reckless.
And then—
all the vehicles suddenly surged onto the bridge, switching on their high beams simultaneously.
The blinding lights pierced the soldiers' eyes.
"Alert! They're storming the bridge!"
"Fire the heavy machine guns!"
Tututututututututu...
Even with poor visibility, the gunners could roughly judge where to aim. They pulled the trigger and sprayed bullets without hesitation.
Gunfire filled the air.
Several vehicles were hit—
the drivers were shredded instantly by heavy-caliber bullets.
The cars spun out of control,
rolling wildly across the bridge.
The vehicles behind them had to brake hard,
triggering a chain collision.
But the bridge was wide enough.
Some vehicles made it through.
One SUV even crashed into and toppled the roadblock, killing both operators of a heavy machine gun on the spot.
"They've broken through!"
"Call in helicopter support—now!"
Three helicopters parked on the highway outside the city immediately took off.
Under the glaring spotlight—
the escaping vehicles were exposed to the gun barrels of the airborne machine guns.
Tututututu...
A storm of bullets rained down.
And not just that—
30mm autocannons and 70mm rockets joined the assault.
The cars that had crossed the bridge were instantly engulfed in a fiery downpour.
Not a single one survived.
Meanwhile, the machine guns at the bridgehead kept firing, and armed helicopters continued to arrive.
More and more vehicles were torn apart by the heavy firepower.
The crashes worsened—
the bridge became completely blocked.
The helicopters showed no mercy,
relentlessly bombing the bridge.
Screams and cries echoed nonstop.
Flames and blood lit up the scene like a hell on earth.
At this moment, Bai Qianyuan had only one thought:
Run!
Turn back and run!
This was where the motorcycle's agility came in handy.
She immediately turned around, twisted the throttle, and roared back toward the city.
But—
a gunship had locked onto her.
A blinding searchlight tracked Bai Qianyuan tightly.
The thunderous rotors roared above as the chopper bore down on her.
A hail of bullets rained down—
directly at her.
