On the long-silent streets of Jianghai City, the long-lost sound of car engines suddenly echoed.
It's been nearly three months since the apocalypse began, and almost all survivors in Jianghai City were gone within the first few days of the zombie crisis outbreak.
So much time has passed that there are no longer any living people visible on the streets, only various scrapped cars and torn-apart bodies.
As for the car engine sounds, they stopped altogether a week after the apocalypse started.
But now, in this desolate and rundown city, the loud noise of cars is reverberating.
Vroom vroom vroom!
A convoy of five large trucks is speeding along the streets, pursued by a horde of zombies.
These zombies behave very strangely. Unlike those that usually stagger on the streets, each is holding a weapon and wearing a helmet.
Upon closer inspection, you can see that zombies are also sitting in the driver's seats of the trucks!
Even when the convoy encounters obstacles, these zombies actively run ahead to help clear the way!
Though they are merely a bunch of mindless zombies with only a thirst for blood, now they appear well-organized.
Looking at the scenery swiftly retreating past the window, Lu Chuan's mind was filled with many thoughts.
He had been holding out in the Sunshine District for more than two months and wasn't clear on what was happening outside.
While such a grand approach might attract some attention, Lu Chuan didn't care.
Having reached the third tier and accompanied by many evolved zombies and corpse puppets, Lu Chuan didn't believe anyone in Jianghai City could pose a threat to him now.
Looking at Little Qiqi sitting by the window, a smile spread across Lu Chuan's face, and he picked up pen and paper.
"Little Qiqi, if you're tired, take a nap."
Ji Ruxue smiled sweetly at Lu Chuan after reading.
"Dad, I'm not sleepy."
After her rebirth, this was Ji Ruxue's first time really looking at the outside world.
Since gaining consciousness, she had lived in the bedroom of Sunshine District, which was relatively closed.
Even after leaving Building No. 5, she only moved within the district.
This was her first time sitting in a car, admiring the city scenery.
The proper outing made Ji Ruxue's mood quite cheerful, feeling peaceful and lovely while gazing out the window.
Lu Chuan couldn't help but smile at the adorable sight, then kept switching his perspective among the corpse puppets to observe the surroundings.
Since Lu Chuan was simultaneously controlling five corpse puppets to drive, he dared not increase the speed excessively, to avoid any unforeseen incidents that couldn't be controlled in time.
Because the truck speed wasn't too fast and, being in the city, Lu Chuan was uncertain about what might happen, he positioned several agile zombies atop the trucks.
Should anything unexpected occur, these agile zombies could immediately act.
The agile zombies, evolved in speed and strength surpassing regular zombies, were perfect for guarding the convoy.
Thus, Lu Chuan's convoy slowly moved out of the Sunshine District.
Lu Chuan manipulated the corpse puppets while watching the map.
At the current convoy speed, they were unlikely to reach Qingshui Farm on the outskirts until nightfall.
The convoy made quite a commotion in the Jianghai City District, attracting many zombies with its loud noise.
However, under the evolved zombies' pressure, the regular zombies seemed like headless flies desperately trying to evade.
Those unable to dodge were mercilessly crushed by the cars.
...
A survivor searching for supplies in a shop suddenly froze in place.
"Am I hallucinating from hunger? It sounds like there's a car engine!"
This shop survivor, about thirty-years-old, with a strong build, had awakened the giant strength Evolver ability.
Originally, he lived fairly comfortably in the apocalypse with his evolved abilities.
However, with increasingly scarce supplies, even Evolvers had to constantly search for resources in shops.
Vroom vroom vroom!
The loud noises grew nearer.
"Holy crap! It's not a hallucination! There's really a car?!"
"Could it be the army has come?!"
Realizing a large convoy was passing nearby, the survivor became extremely excited, even tossing aside the bottle of mineral water he had just found.
He quickly ran to the shop window to look outside, and sure enough, saw a large convoy in the distance.
The five heavy trucks in the lead were plowing through abandoned cars, crushing wandering zombies into a bloody pulp.
Seeing this, the survivor was overjoyed, ready to rush out and join the convoy.
As his supplies dwindled, he hoped to join a survivor team.
Driving five heavy trucks at high speed in the post-apocalyptic city undoubtedly meant a powerful survivor team.
Just as the survivor was about to rush out, he keenly noticed that those following the trucks weren't human soldiers!
"Wait... could they all be zombies?!"
The action of opening the door froze in place as he couldn't believe his eyes.
There were over a hundred zombies following the trucks, seemingly resembling humans.
But some zombies bore visible bite marks, which weren't wounds a normal human would have.
There was only one possibility: all those following the trucks were zombies!
As Lu Chuan's convoy approached, the Evolver looked into the trucks, only to see a sight he'd never forget.
In the driver's seats of those five trucks sat menacing, terrifying zombies!
"Am I hallucinating?! Zombies can drive trucks now?!"
Watching Lu Chuan's convoy drive far away, the survivor finally realized it wasn't a human convoy but a zombie convoy!
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
The Evolver in the shop chugged several gulps of water to calm his excited emotions.
If not for the convoy's loud noise and the trail of debris left behind, he would've suspected he was hallucinating from hunger.
The zombie outbreak was already beyond comprehension, but zombies driving trucks was an extraordinary sight.
Survivors noticing Lu Chuan's convoy along the way felt their scalps tingle.
