Chapter 6: The Spread Throughout the City
You should quickly ask her what happened, whether she encountered the same kind of living corpse as we did
We will! Trust me, we will definitely survive until that time...
Chen Guangda abruptly stopped the car, gasping for breath, his face as pale as paper. It was only at this moment that he truly understood; fortunately, they had previously stayed at Li Lan's house. Had they rushed directly to such a crowded place, they would have likely been torn to shreds by the overwhelming number of living corpses.
Wait for dawn! Once dawn arrives, there will be hope. The government will surely send troops to rescue us
Chen Guangda's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly shifted into gear, intending to rush forward. However, a heavy sound of footsteps suddenly echoed from ahead. At the very moment Chen Guangda engaged the gear, a large swarm of dark, living corpses unexpectedly surged in, akin to a disturbed ant nest, and in the blink of an eye, they completely engulfed both the girl and the car.
Chen Guangda suddenly let out a loud shout, and several special police officers indeed fell silent at once. The surrounding mass of corpses immediately surged forward, instantly overwhelming them. However, in the final moment of one special police officer's life, he fiercely pulled the pin from the grenade hanging on his chest. With a tremendous explosion, the living corpses surrounding him were blown to pieces.
Fortunately, they were not the only vehicle fleeing on the road; there were even two off-road vehicles driving in perfect unison, boldly relying on their powerful engines to crash into areas teeming with the living dead. Following them were several private cars, all seemingly seeking their protection
I... I am hiding with my colleagues in the distribution room on the third floor of the radio station. Those zombies are biting and eating people everywhere, and they have already consumed many of our colleagues. Moreover, the dead will turn into zombies. Please, hurry and come, they are smashing the door outside.
Chen Guangda gently patted her shoulder, but as he listened to the continuous screams outside, he let out a long sigh in his heart... Can one truly live to see that time? Who can guarantee it?
I can't believe it! I can't believe it...
Ding ding ~
Chen Guangda, in a fit of rage, cursed loudly. He had personally experienced the power of the living corpses, which had at least doubled in strength compared to before. Under their fearless and reckless assaults, it was likely that even a tank would be directly overturned. The principle of "more people means greater strength" also applied to the living corpses.
Bang bang bang
Chen Guangda let out a heavy sigh. In fact, he had just passed by his parents' house, but the area downstairs was already filled with living corpses. The neighbors, who had undergone decomposition, were jumping down one by one from the upper floors. Moreover, the windows of his parents' house were wide open, with numerous bloodstains visible. At that moment, he estimated that his parents were likely in grave danger, and making a phone call was merely a last glimmer of hope.
Bang ~ ''
Chen Guangda looked pale as he turned to Ding Li, whose small face was even whiter than her safety shorts. Gone was the arrogance she had displayed earlier in the day when she mocked Chen Guangda. In a state of utter panic, she exclaimed: "Guangda! You must think of a way out; if this continues, we are surely going to die!"
Several living corpses, their bodies blown apart, fell heavily in the middle of the road. Yet, in the blink of an eye, they surprisingly crawled back up with great tenacity, dragging their broken bodies desperately towards Chen Guangda and the others. Chen Guangda immediately stepped on the gas and ran over them, but Ding Li, with a pale face, urgently pulled him and shouted, "What should we do now? What are we going to do?"
Damn it! A bunch of idiots
Hurry up!
Chen Guangda, trembling, lit a cigarette, and Ding Li could only anxiously retreat to her seat. Chen Guangda thought for a moment and hurriedly took out his phone, desperately dialing his parents' home, but all he was met with was a series of ringing tones. Neither his mobile phone nor the landline was answered, not even the neighbor's phone.
Would you like to make a phone call home
A sudden loud gunshot startled the two individuals, causing them to tremble all over. They immediately turned their heads to look towards the street, where they saw several special police officers trapped in a heavy siege, firing their riot guns frantically, almost to the point of overheating. However, the surrounding living dead continued to gather in increasing numbers, with a large number of them constantly jumping down from the nearby buildings.
Not good! Hurry and save the person...
Nearby Li Lan's home were all undulating piles of ruins. Chen Guangda directly switched to a small light and rushed towards the center area. Upon arrival, he found only a single living corpse that looked like a scavenger inside. He immediately gathered his strength and charged at it, repeatedly running over the body seven or eight times before stopping. Then, he turned off the car lights and quietly hid between two piles of ruins.
However, at this moment, Chen Guangda suddenly slowed down and quickly dashed onto the adjacent auxiliary road. When he hurriedly turned his head to look, indeed! The two off-road vehicles, just as he had speculated, crashed violently into a group of the largest corpses, and after shaking a few times, they became immobile. The several small vehicles following closely behind immediately crashed into their rear, and in the blink of an eye, they were completely overwhelmed by the massive horde of living corpses.

Chen Guangda ruthlessly pushed her out, directly flooring the accelerator and speeding away madly. However, relentless undead kept charging at them, attempting to intercept. Chen Guangda maneuvered through the horde like he was driving a bumper car, never having played so recklessly in his life
Ding Li suddenly shouted anxiously, already in a state of panic, while Chen Guangda quickly pressed down on his phone and said hurriedly: "Tang Tang, don't be afraid, quickly tell me where you are, are those resurrected zombies biting people everywhere, just like the living dead in the movies?"
sigh
Not good! They are out of bullets...
A series of mobile phone numbers quickly came in, and to Chen Guangda's surprise, there were as many as eight. Chen Guangda could only sigh in despair and hurriedly dialed the emergency hotline. However, just as Su Tong had said, after much difficulty in getting through to the emergency number, no one answered the call. The same was true for the fire and ambulance services.
Heavens! How could it have turned out like this...
Chen Guangda, with a face full of despair, handed the phone to Ding Li. After Ding Li, in a daze, took the phone, the calls she made were either met with a busy signal or went unanswered. Tears immediately streamed down Ding Li's face as she leaned against Chen Guangda and asked in a mournful voice: "Guangda! Will we... be able to survive until help arrives?"
Su Tong's panicked voice soon rang out, and Chen Guangda immediately slammed the steering wheel anxiously, then said in a deep voice: "Tao Tao, don't worry, I will rush over to save you as soon as possible. You all quickly find something to block the door, and then send me all of your mobile phone numbers. At least one phone must have power; we must not lose contact!"
A loud crash suddenly erupted from the front, as a small Honda broke through the construction barrier, leaping high from outside and landing heavily on the ground, immediately turning onto its roof. A girl in a red outfit was instantly thrown out of the car, rolling several times before lying motionless on the ground
The site of the collision was filled with a cacophony of anguished cries, sending shivers down Chen Guangda's spine. He realized that continuing in this manner was not a solution. Even if his dilapidated vehicle could hold out a little longer, they would eventually be overwhelmed by the mass of corpses. Thus, he quickly changed direction and headed towards Li Lan's home, where the population in the demolition area was the least.
Do not pull me, if you pull me again, I will kick you down
Ding Li immediately screamed in terror, and Chen Guangda quickly stepped on the gas and turned around to flee. However, when they rushed onto the main road, they were shocked to find that the entire city had completely descended into chaos. Burning cars and overturned police vehicles were everywhere, and hordes of living corpses were running amok. The sounds of wailing and screams echoed continuously, and the scene was nothing short of devastation.
