Chapter 110: Successfully escaping

The woman's frightened shrieks are ear-piercing to the point of migraine-inducing. Surrounded by a mass of undead, the off-road vehicle begins to rock dangerously from side to side. As though vastly enticed by something within, the growls intensify.

With a crack, a window of the vehicle shatters and the screech abruptly cuts off. A pool of scarlet begins to spread on the dark asphalt road which is washed away swiftly by the continuously falling rain.

An uncomfortable silence grips the four men. This entire time, although they slew more than their fair share of undead, this is still the first time witnessing a human being torn apart by those creatures.

"Little Yuan." The one who eventually breaks the silence is Long Zhanye as he hugs his lover.

"Eh...what is it?"

"Now, the attention of that group is all on devouring those two people, it is the best opportunity to escape. Else once they finish eating, there wouldn't be enough time for us to leave even if we want to. Also, the loud sound of the rain will mask any noise we make, so there's no need to worry about them noticing us." Long Zhanye speaks lowly, controlling his volume so it is loud enough for the others to hear but soft enough to be drowned out by the pattering rain.

"I understand. Hang on a minute." Disappearing in a flash of silver, Huo Zaiyuan returns a few seconds later, holding a few yellow paper folded into small triangles in his hand.

Giving another Aura Concealment Charm to the others, Huo Zaiyuan steps out of the array first, gracefully sliding down the mountain slope. The horde is located at the other end of the street, separated by a mere two or three meters. As soon as his feet touch the ground, he waves his left hand.

The modified Hummer H1 he purchased from the black market before the apocalypse began finally saw use. Opening the car door, he hurriedly enters the driver's seat and starts the engine. Long Zhanye, Li Qing and Qin Jun who were preparing for this signal immediately slide down and scramble in.

The doors close with a 'pa' and the vehicle immediately speeds forward. Only now do the gorging zombies take notice. But the Hummer is already tearing down the street. None of the undead would be able to catch up even if they tried.

"Too...too intense. If we were only a second slower, we would have been surrounded." Li Qing gasps, patting his chest to calm his racing heart.

"That off-road vehicle was unmodified. Once you are surrounded, you would be a goner. This Hummer, however, has bullet-proof glass and steel-plated frame." Although Huo Zaiyuan still drives like a beginner, but driving on a smooth, unobstructed road is no problem. Besides the initial start being a little too fast when trying to escape the horde, now that he decreased the speed, he isn't in danger of losing control.

Reaching out, he turns on the central heating in the car, not caring if it will waste a significant amount of gasoline. Soaked as they are currently, it will be easy to catch a cold and fall ill. At the same time, he retrieves a couple of large towels and hands them out.

"Dry your clothes and body, lest one of you catch a cold."

"Un." Li Qing nods, taking the towel and removing a set of new camouflage attire and underwear from his storage ring, giving one first to Qin Jun, then Long Zhanye. Finally holding one for himself and Huo Zaiyuan, he stares meaningfully at Long Zhanye.

Understanding his unspoken words, Long Zhanye drapes a dry towel over his shoulder as he turns to Huo Zaiyuan. "Little Yuan, stop the car for a while. Let's change our clothes first, then I'll take over driving."
