Chapter 156: Chapter 156: The Last Day Tycoon (21)
Everyone was startled.
However, none of those present acted, as the gunshot came from outside.
Outside the airport, countless zombies surged frenziedly, dense and seemingly endless.
There was a car in front of the zombies.
The zombies, moving at an extremely fast pace, pounced on the side of the car and crawled onto its roof.
The sound of bullets sweeping through the air continued above the airport, creating an apocalyptic scene with the groans of the zombies.
A shooter firing from the car window was grabbed and pulled out by the zombies.
In an instant, the car was overwhelmed by the zombies.
The zombies surged toward them like a tide.
“Retreat!”
“Quick, retreat!!”
The people who came to their senses roared in anger.
On the other side, Miss Chuzheng and the others had already gotten into a car, which had now started and was speeding away to the other end of the airport.
The people: “…”
The speed of this group of zombies was astonishing, leaving no chance of survival for the cars they caught up with from behind.
“Miss Chuzheng, there’s no way forward!!” Brother Bao shouted.
A wall lay ahead, marking the dead end.
Chuzheng’s expression remained cool as she floored the accelerator.
The people inside the car grabbed onto anything they could and closed their eyes.
The car hit the wall and went through unscathed.
However…
“Aaaahhhhh!!!!”
The screams rose and fell in succession.
“We’re going into the sea!!”
Outside the airport was the sea. They had burst through only to fall toward the water.
A sensation of weightlessness swept over them.
The sea water grew closer and closer.
Bang!
The car hit something, jolted, but did not fall into the sea.
The passengers realized they had landed on solid ground, but continuing forward would still send them into the sea.
The car whipped around, throwing the people to one side, then the next second flung them back.
Whish——
Bang——
In the distance, a heavy object plunged into the sea, and an explosion rose from the water’s surface.
The souls of those thrown about slowly returned to their bodies.
They hadn’t fallen into the sea!
Nor was there a car wreck with casualties!
Thank goodness!
The car stopped on a slope leading into the sea.
Something seemed off, though?
The people turned their attention to the continuous stream of cars plunging into the sea.
How had they gone from there to here?
The location was like a ‘7’ character, with the horizontal part extending out and stopping on the vertical path.
Even from the vertex of the ‘7’, it would be a distance of five hundred meters. Damn it, how did they get here? Did they fly?
Five hundred meters!!
Not fifty meters!
The people looked toward the young girl driving the car.
The girl was rubbing her wrists, with a tense profile, her cold eyes fixed on the zombies that were continuously jumping into the sea.
The scene was horrifying.
“Damn it! Do zombies now bloody know how to swim?”
Someone in the car cursed, breaking the eerie silence, and everyone’s eyes converged on the sea.
The cars that had plunged into the sea were exploding, but there were still survivors swimming rapidly towards shore.
Behind them was a Zombie Horde clumsily chasing doggy-paddle style, spinning in place and clashing into each other in confusion.
“…”
They were swimming so slowly.
Some zombies didn’t even know how to doggy-paddle and sank straight down.
“Miss Chuzheng, let’s go!” He Cheng shouted, spotting a zombie that had already reached the shore, clearly not by swimming over.
“Damn, they’re moving under the water!”
“These zombies are just too disgusting!”
“`
Zombies were dead: there was no difference between water and land for them, as they didn’t swim—they could simply walk across the bottom.
It was a truly invincible sight!
Some zombies clearly found it easier to walk on the bottom than to attempt swimming, and began to sink down.
Chuzheng lay on the car window and took a glance back.
Ning You and some other survivors had also reached the shore, soaked through and in a sorry state.
Chuzheng stretched out her hand, flashed a middle finger, then started the car and left the zombies behind.
Ning You saw clearly the gesture Chuzheng made and exploded with rage.
Chuzheng, that bitch!
They had followed her lead and rushed out, only to realize it was the seafront once it was too late to brake, with a horde of zombies behind them.
But Chuzheng’s car was fine, while all of theirs had plunged into the sea.
Ning You’s face turned ugly as she swept her gaze over their escape route—how had Chuzheng managed to drive such a distance? Special Ability? What kind of Special Ability could do that?
“Miss, hurry up!”
“Ah!”
“The zombies are coming!!”
–
The car burst through the barriers and after a couple of bounces on the road, steadied itself in the lane.
As the airport receded far behind, Brother Yong took out a cigarette, lit it, and slumped back into the seat.
“You found cigarettes?”
“Found them on the helicopter. Want one?” Brother Yong offered Brother Bao a half-empty, dirty box generously.
Brother Bao shook his head; he had quit a while ago, but Yi Xiao took one instead.
“Those zombies just now…” Yi Xiao, still on edge, said, “Why do I feel like they’re getting smarter?”
Last time was in that town.
It wasn’t just Yi Xiao who felt that way; the others did too, with a chilling sensation.
“Miss Chuzheng, what do you think?”
“Hmm,” Chuzheng replied casually, clearly unconcerned.
“…”
Look at the composure of such a great leader.
What were they worrying about!
As a man of the world, Brother Yong was the first to calm down, followed by Brother Bao, who also had the makings of a social man.
Yi Xiao and He Cheng remained uneasy and couldn’t settle down.
Chuzheng drove for a while, then gave up the driver’s seat and let them drive themselves.
The port was not far from the airport, they did not encounter any zombies, and soon arrived at the port.
Clearly, this place had already been visited by others, but with so many things around, many shipping containers were intact.
Brother Yong took the lead in opening two containers, which were filled with clothes, even international brands.
He tried on a couple of pieces but found them too hot and promptly gave up.
“There are canned goods here!” Yi Xiao’s excited voice came from the next container.
Brother Yong rushed over instantly. The container was filled with neatly stacked boxes of canned food.
“Can we still eat these in such hot weather?” He Cheng rummaged through the container.
“…”
The container was especially hot, like an oven.
Just as everyone’s excitement was on the rise, He Cheng’s comment doused them with cold water, even Brother Bao, who was about to crack open a can to take a bite, stopped in his tracks.
They could only hope that the manufacturer had produced them conscientiously.
Brother Yong looked around at everyone and opened one.
Apparently, the manufacturer wasn’t conscientious at all; the food was inedible.
“Swindlers!”
Bang!
The sound of a heavy object hitting the container reverberated.
The group, who had just had a moment of silence for the canned food, tensed up in an instant, nervously looking toward the direction of the sound.
Chuzheng was standing there with an iron rod, and the sound they heard was obviously her doing.
Everyone: “…”
Could she not have just called out?
Scared to death.
“Oh my god…” Brother Bao was stunned by the contents of the container: “Guns!!!”
Brother Yong jumped in, digging through the boxes, finding not just guns but lots of ammunition and other weapons.
This container was placed in a corner; had Chuzheng not opened it, they probably would have overlooked it.
While they did not know which bold figure or what the officials were planning, these weapons were like rain in a drought for them.
The group found a big truck at the dock and excitedly began to move the weapons.
Chuzheng searched through several other containers, finding mostly useless everyday or luxury items, but also some supplies and water.
