She got involved with a man and married him, even had a child together, but who could have imagined that this middle-aged man would go bankrupt and end up owing a mass of debts? The old man told her he would strive to make a comeback and provide a better life for them.
She was not willing to endure hardships with him and directly proposed divorce, regardless of how he pleaded with her, she ignored him. Finally, the man begged her to leave the child with him, "If you want to leave, I’ll agree to it."
She didn’t even consider it and flat-out refused; over the years, she had secretly stashed away millions from him and even ran a nail salon. With custody of the child, she certainly held the advantage.
Her actions were not out of love for the child but rather to ensure the old man paid child support every month, and even more, if by any chance the old man did make a comeback one year, she could use the child to extract a huge sum of money from him.
This was her plan, to completely drain the old man dry.
And now, everything was gone, it was already the apocalypse.
Li Hong urged, "What’s the situation now? Are the zombies lured away?"
"They’re lured away, and even the zombies around were attracted. It’s safe now for us to go downstairs and drive away directly. We can’t stay in this broken place for now; we have to find a safe place," the bald man said.
The other man completely agreed and nodded his head.
Li Hong said, "Let’s go."
The three of them quickly made their way downstairs.
Walking through the stairwell, sounds of hoarse moans and collisions came from the apartments on both sides; these were residents who had turned into zombies at home. Hearing noises, they wanted to get out but didn’t know how to open the door, so they could only howl inside.
Lin Fan entered the Sunshine District and could hear dense moaning. He was already used to this; zombies act at the sight of flesh.
A sedan was driving towards him.
He raised his hand, just about to greet them, but then he noticed the car was actually driving towards him as if to knock him down; fortunately, his reaction was fast enough to dodge in time.
Watching the car driving into the distance.
Lin Fan wanted to stop them, to ask what was going on— I friendly greeted you, yet you tried to run me over? Was this intentional or on purpose?
But hearing that cry, he decided to put this matter aside first.
He just looked at the departing vehicle, contemplating what could be the situation— why would there be crying followed by survivors driving off?
He considered the survivors in this apocalypse, each one terrifying; so-called human nature couldn’t stand the test, and it wasn’t even a test, to be honest, it was truly horrible.
"What the hell was that guy just now?"
The bald man was baffled, wondering how a survivor could just appear out of nowhere and swagger right in front of them.
Li Hong said, "I thought it was a zombie, but I realized it was a survivor only when I got closer."
The other survivor didn’t discuss this, "It doesn’t matter who he is, where should we go now? We absolutely can’t stay in this city; it’s too dangerous. We must find a good place, one that’s safe from zombies and has supplies."
Deep in thought, contemplating.
They were all thinking about where to go.
On both sides of the street where their sedan was passing, a speed-type zombie was chewing on human corpses on the rooftop of a six-story building. Hearing the noise from the street, its pale eyes swiveled, staring intently at the passing vehicle below.
As if calculating its target, it leapt up at the right moment, landing on the roof of the moving car.
The roof caved in, and the huge impact made it hard to control the car, which then crashed into a roadside utility pole.
Li Hong’s head was dizzy, and suddenly seeing the speed-type zombie shrieking on the hood, her face turned pale with fear. The speed-type zombie, excited to see humans, pushed its head into the car, opening its ferocious maw to viciously bite the driving bald man.
Blood splattered, and the sounds of feasting made Li Hong wet herself with fear.
She opened the car door, crawling and rolling out, running panically into the distance.
The passenger in the backseat was covered in blood; as the speed-type zombie bit the bald man, blood sprayed terribly, covering his face. His eyes wide, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly opened the door, running towards where Li Hong had gone.
Li Hong was horrified, thinking to herself, I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die, I’m still so young.
The speed-type zombie dragged the bald man out of the car, wanting to feast properly, but unexpectedly, the bald man had already turned into a zombie, which annoyed the speed-type zombie a bit— I hadn’t even started eating properly, and it already turned into a zombie, really...
Turning its head, it looked at the two fleeing survivors.
The speed-type zombie swiftly moved on all fours, chasing after the two survivors.
Li Hong heard the screams, her face turning deathly pale as she looked back and saw the guy being tackled and savagely bitten by a zombie. The screams continued.
She was scared, terrified, as the groaning sounds echoed around her and a zombie, drawn by the noise, emerged from an alley, howling as it lunged at her.
Li Hong was gradually overwhelmed by zombies, her exposed arms clawing at the ground, trying to crawl out, but she was picked up by crammed-in zombies, chewed on beside their mouths, blood dripping, bloody mouths feasting.
