Jiang Shuyu took a deep breath, started the car, and fiercely drove towards the horde of zombies.
Then she turned the steering wheel, changed direction, and once again drove towards the zombies.
Preventing the zombies from going in Ruan Qing’s direction.
Ruan Qing understood that Jiang Shuyu was buying time for him. He withdrew his gaze and accelerated to continue climbing down.
There were just too many zombies, continuously pouring out from the factory. Ramming into them was like hitting a wall. There were even zombie bodies stuck under the car.
This significantly slowed down the speed of the car.
If this continued, they wouldn’t be able to drive away, even if they could drive.
Fortunately, Ruan Qing had already climbed down at this time. Jiang Shuyu immediately turned the car around and drove towards Ruan Qing’s position.
But the zombies didn’t give up and crazily rushed towards them.
Fortunately, the zombies weren’t as fast as the car. Jiang Shuyu quickly drove up to Ruan Qing and stopped.
After Ruan Qing got in the car, Jiang Shuyu immediately started the car and drove towards the other side, intending to leave directly.
But Ruan Qing stopped her.
Ruan Qing’s slender fingers curled up slightly, and he said softly, “Wait for three minutes.”
Jiang Shuyu looked at the large number of zombies following behind the car, hesitatingly said, “But...”
Before Jiang Shuyu could finish her sentence, she immediately said, “Okay.”
Jiang Shuyu tightened her grip on the steering wheel, adjusted the direction, and drove back in the opposite direction.
There were many roads in front of the factory, wide enough that as long as the car’s speed was fast enough, they could definitely wait for three minutes.
However, the danger wasn’t from the zombies, but from the two men who were like monsters.
Jiang Shuyu remained vigilant towards the factory, ready to leave with the young man as soon as those two men appeared.
This was what Xie Xuanlan had told her.
Time passed second by second, and three minutes quickly arrived.
Xie Xuanlan did not come out.
Perhaps he couldn’t come out either.
Ruan Qing weakly rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes. “Let’s go.”
Jiang Shuyu had always been ready to leave, and as soon as she heard Ruan Qing’s words, she immediately drove onto the main road.
The factory soon disappeared from view.
The zombies kept chasing, but their speed was ultimately unable to catch up with the car, and eventually disappeared from sight.
Once out of sight of the factory, Ruan Qing looked out the window, finding the whole world in chaos.
Bloodstains were everywhere, with limbs scattered around.
It was like hell on earth.
Even though only two days had passed, Ruan Qing felt like a very long time had gone by.
He didn’t know if it was because of his worsening heart condition or because of his weakness, which made his mood somewhat heavy.
It might also be because human life was too insignificant in the face of disasters.
Unable to escape natural disasters, nor man-made calamities.
Only the struggle on the brink of life and death remained.
But even with all his effort, he was still powerless to change anything.
This kind of scene, this kind of helplessness, Ruan Qing couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity.
It was as if... he had seen such a scene before.
The sound of “buzzing” interrupted Ruan Qing’s thoughts.
It was the sound of a helicopter.
Ruan Qing looked up at the sky. Indeed, there was a helicopter flying overhead.
However, the helicopter was flying quite high, making it difficult to see what was happening on board.
It was unclear whether the people on the island had found the helicopter and were trying to fly out, or if outsiders had discovered the situation on the island and were coming to investigate.
The helicopter circled in the air for a few times before flying along the main road.
It’s like traveling together with Ruan Qing’s car.
It was probably just a coincidence.
After all, with the helicopter so far away, it’s impossible to see the situation on the ground without using specialized binoculars.
Moreover, the helicopter didn’t need to fly along with their car.
Ruan Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at his shoulder bag, only then remembering that he should pass the bread inside to Jiang Shuyu.
That was something he took from Yan Ci’s bag when he left.
“Thank you,” Jiang Shuyu didn’t hesitate, as she hadn’t eaten much in the morning before the zombies surrounded her, and she had been hungry for almost two days now.
If she didn’t eat soon, she would be too weak to drive.
Jiang Shuyu took the bread and started eating it eagerly.
Ruan Qing had taken two in total, but seeing Jiang Shuyu so hungry, he passed his own bread to her as well.
This time, Jiang Shuyu refused. She shook her head. “One is enough for me.”
Ruan Qing had been fed two bread by Yan Ci and wasn’t hungry at the moment, so when he saw Jiang Shuyu didn’t want it, he put the bread back into the bag.
Then he looked out the window again, and the helicopter in the sky was still flying ahead.
After watching for a few seconds, Ruan Qing felt something was off. Under normal circumstances, helicopters were much faster than cars.
Even if they were flying together, the helicopter should have disappeared quickly.
But it remained not far from them, neither fast nor slow.
It was as if the helicopter was deliberately slowing down to follow them.
If Ruan Qing had a pair of binoculars, he would be able to see the people on the helicopter, as they also have binoculars.
At this moment, the binoculars were pointed directly at their car.
Directly at him inside the car.
The man wearing a white research lab coat on the helicopter spent a long time focusing with binoculars, but the image remained somewhat blurry, which made him somewhat displeased.
He glanced indifferently at the person piloting the helicopter, then spoke somewhat casually.
“Fly lower.”
The helicopter pilot looked bewildered. He had been in a daze ever since he was ordered to follow the car on the ground.
But he still obediently lowered the helicopter a bit.
The man picked up the binoculars again and looked down.
However, the car on the ground... was gone.
The man looked back and forth on the road, but still couldn’t find the familiar car.
Ruan Qing realized something was wrong when he noticed that the helicopter was following their car.
In this situation, whether the helicopter was from the island or outside, the people on it were definitely not ordinary.
And having such people following them was definitely not a good thing.
Ruan Qing wouldn’t naively believe that the people on the helicopter were there to rescue any survivors they might find.
So he directly instructed Jiang Shuyu to park the car where it couldn’t be seen from the sky, and then they abandoned the car and left.
Fortunately, after driving for a while, they had returned to an area with heavy traffic.
It was also very convenient to change cars.
Ruan Qing’s foot was injured, so it was not convenient for him to drive, and Jiang Shuyu continued driving.
Ruan Qing directly instructed Jiang Shuyu to drive to the airport.
The airport wasn’t far, and they arrived quickly.
At this time, the airport was empty, with very few planes, not even helicopters.
The few planes there were all in bad condition.
Obviously, it was impossible to leave the island by air.
Ruan Qing didn’t even need to check if there were boats at the pier.
There definitely weren’t any.
His guesses were all correct; this was a man-made apocalypse.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be just a coincidence that there were no planes, and that the entire island was experiencing a widespread outbreak of zombies.
Maybe in five days, this island would really be blown up.
Taking everyone on it, burying them all at the bottom of the sea.
ik its just an instance but wow a man-made apocalypse is just sick.
