“…Anyone else,” Zhou Rong surveyed the crowd, his voice hoarse: “Anyone?”
No one spoke or moved, with a silence as thick as glue enveloping the air. After a while, Zhou Rong nodded at Yan Hao, who took out the car keys. Suddenly, Si Nan loudly shouted, “Stop!”
Following his gaze, a middle-aged man was squeezing towards the car door. Si Nan stepped forward and grabbed him, coldly saying, “You’ve been bitten.”
“No, I haven’t! I… I…”
Si Nan forcefully grabbed the hand he was hiding behind his back, tearing open the sleeve to reveal a rotting arm emitting a thick, putrid smell.
“This isn’t an infection, I wasn’t bitten, this – this is a glass cut! The wound has become infected!”
Si Nan ignored him, pushing him roughly into a corner, and told Yan Hao, “Open the car door.”
The man erupted in anger, screaming hoarsely, “You’ll be punished! Bastard! May you die a horrible death!…”
The angry cursing echoed for a long time. Si Nan saw that all survivors had boarded the biochemical vehicle and the bus, then turned to ask, “Are you planning to end yourself, or shall I help you?”
The man swung a punch, which Si Nan dodged. Unexpectedly, the man broke free and ran backwards.
Si Nan watched his direction towards the safety door and suddenly realized something: “Stop—”
Zhou Rong slammed open the passenger door, shouting, “Si Nan! Get in!”
Si Nan sprinted towards him. At the same moment, Zhou Rong stepped on the gas, and the tires screeched in the underground parking lot. He braked to a stop in front of Si Nan!
Zhou Rong reached out, grabbing him with an iron-like grip, pulling him into the driver’s seat!
“Let him go!” Zhou Rong roared, “Come with me!”
The bulletproof biochemical vehicle executed a sharp drift, roaring and accelerating, smashing through the garage door!
Everyone bounced violently. From the corner of his eye, Si Nan glimpsed the rearview mirror – the man had indeed opened the stairwell safety door, and the zombies blocked behind it rushed in, howling towards the bus.
But they were too late. Yan Hao had already closed the bus door, started the engine, and ran over several zombies before following the biochemical vehicle onto the street!
