A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 601 The tide of corpses surges
The group walked up the stairs to the entrance of the underground parking lot. In front of them was a yellow fire door, behind which was the B1 parking lot.

Duan Rong stood beside the fire door, a zombie lying at his feet, its green, viscous brain fluid flowing over him and almost sticking to the tops of his sneakers.

On the lower floors, the number of zombies increased significantly, especially on the first-floor staircase, where there were seven zombies wandering around.

However, Jiang Hanyan sliced ​​down all seven zombies with three sword strikes!

With three swishing sounds, the seven corpses fell to the ground almost simultaneously.

Duan Rong paid no attention to the cerebrospinal fluid flowing towards his feet. He was focused on the crack in the door, while gently widening it with his hand.

It's impossible to predict how many zombies are outside the door, and rushing out rashly could easily lead to trouble, because this door leads to a dark corridor. There are usually lights, but now that the whole city is without power, the lights are naturally off.

Dark environments are detrimental to humans but advantageous to zombies because the mutated white membrane on a zombie's eyes can sense infrared radiation emitted by living beings, making it easier for them to see humans in the dark.

Duan Rong opened the door a little wider, carefully peered outside for a while, and only after confirming that there were no zombies near the door did he push the fire door open, shine the beam of his flashlight out, and after confirming that there were no zombies in the dimly lit corridor outside, Duan Rong waved behind him, and the group walked out together.

They stood there, the beams of three flashlights dancing in the air. Duan Rong took out the keys to Qin Yuan's Land Rover from his pocket, pressed them, but heard no response.

Qin Yuan arrived at the office early in the morning to cause trouble with Yang Xue. Duan Rong guessed that his car should be parked nearby.

The car key's sensing range is about 30 meters. Since it wasn't working here, he had no choice but to walk out and try again.

"Let's go! We'll get out through this corridor."

Duan Rong gave a speech, and the group walked out of the rather dimly lit corridor.

Jiang Hanyan walked at the front, with three beams of flashlights dancing behind her, scanning the surroundings.

Actually, the light was better after we left the corridor, but it was still dim.

As soon as I stepped out of the corridor, two zombies lunged at me, baring their fangs and claws. In the dim environment and under the swaying beams of light, the approaching zombies gave off a terrifying feeling of monstrous chaos.

In the dim light, a flash of cold light appeared, and the two monsters fell to the ground. Jiang Hanyan's eyes were cold, and Duan Rong stood behind her, reaching out to press the car key switch in various directions.

Sure enough, suddenly there was a sound, and about thirty meters to the right, near the wall, a car's lights came on.

"Over there!" Duan Rong's eyes flickered. He guessed correctly; Qin Yuan's car was indeed parked nearby.

Although there were only a few zombies scattered around the parking lot, the group of people standing there appeared to them like glowing lights in the darkness, drawing the scattered zombies to them.

The hoarse roar came from the surrounding darkness, sending chills down one's spine.

"No need to rush, we can just walk there!" Duan Rong's calm voice rang out in the darkness.

Even if zombies surrounded them, all seven of them had sharp weapons to kill them, so the few scattered zombies in the parking lot had no chance of getting close.

Running around in this dim environment could easily lead to various accidents, and you might even accidentally bump into zombies head-on, since those zombies are rushing towards you.

The group relentlessly slashed at the zombies that lunged at them from within the circle of light, the sounds of them falling to the ground echoing throughout the room. Within a distance of thirty meters, they had killed nearly twenty zombies.

They walked up to the Land Rover, Duan Rong opened the door, then quickly jumped away, stood there, turned on his flashlight, and shone the beam into the car.

As soon as the beam of light shone in, a dark figure with a grayish-brown face suddenly darted out and pounced on Duan Rong.

The dark figure was no more than a meter tall and was wearing a school uniform and a red scarf, clearly a primary school student.

With a gentle slash of his entrenching tool, Duan Rong decapitated the dark figure. With a light kick, he sent the headless corpse flying to the side.

Only then did Duan Rong notice a backpack and a half-eaten breakfast on the passenger seat.

Duan Rong's eyelids twitched. The little zombie that had just jumped out of the car was clearly Qin Yuan's son.

Is this even possible? Leaving his son to eat breakfast in the parking lot, going upstairs to have sex with Yang Xue first, and then taking his son to school?

Wow! You're a master of time management!
Duan Rong stood there, looked into the carriage, and found it empty. He then threw away the schoolbag and breakfast, opened the back door, and gestured for everyone to get in.

Duan Rong himself got in from the passenger side and plopped down in the driver's seat.

Jiang Hanyan was the last to enter. She sliced ​​off the tops of two zombies that pounced on her with her sword, then jumped into the passenger seat and slammed the door shut. Just then, another zombie pounced on her, its face pressed against the car window.

The interior space of the Range Rover is large enough that seven people could sit inside without feeling cramped.

Duan Rong inserted the key, turned it, and then glanced at the fuel gauge on the dashboard. Sure enough, the tank was almost full; he'd probably just filled up.

Duan Rong glanced at Jiang Hanyan beside him and said, "Hanyan, fasten your seatbelt!"

"What seatbelt?!"

Jiang Hanyan was curiously examining the object in front of her. Duan Rong had already told them about it on the rooftop and even drew a picture of a car on paper, telling them that it was a very sophisticated talisman needle artifact of this world.

The people only half understood what Duan Rong meant; he wanted to use this thing to lead them to another building at the intersection.

Jiang Hanyan was looking at the runes at this moment, but she couldn't see them at all.

Seeing Jiang Hanyan's bewildered expression, Duan Rong got up, lay on top of her, reached behind her waist, pulled out a belt, and stuffed the buckle into her mouth.

The two were almost pressed together, Duan Rong's breath brushing against Jiang Hanyan's neck, his hand tracing her waist. In that instant, Jiang Hanyan's face flushed red, and she gripped the Longquan sword in her hand tightly.

But after Duan Rong fastened his seatbelt, he sat back down and then fastened his own seatbelt as well.

Jiang Hanyan finally let out a breath; she had been holding her breath the whole time because of nervousness. She realized that the straps on both Duan Rong and herself were seatbelts.

After fastening his seatbelt, Duan Rong said, "Sit tight and hold on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned the steering wheel and stepped on the gas. With the sound of the engine, the Land Rover shot off. Because the zombie corpses he had just killed were all on the road, everyone in the car was jolted.

Jiang Hanyan swayed, but thankfully the seatbelt held her in place. She then understood why Duan Rong had fastened her seatbelt. She couldn't help but glance at Duan Rong beside her. At that moment, Duan Rong's eyes were cold as he drove the Land Rover towards the parking lot entrance. There, the sky was bright, and many dark figures lurked in the light. Duan Rong knew those figures were zombies.

Once the Land Rover sped out of the parking lot, it immediately entered the dense horde of corpses.

At this point, there's no other way but to forge ahead!

He not only wanted to rush out of the parking lot, but also to push the Land Rover to its maximum power! The roar of the engine brought a crazy thrill!
Driving in the apocalypse is like driving through an empty field. The only thing you need to be careful about is not running yourself over.

The moment he sped out of the parking lot, Duan Rong immediately slowed down the engine.

Such a huge machine, running at such a speed, and the huge push-back feeling from the seat back, made Guo Tian and the others turn pale with fright!
The Land Rover crashed through the gate's railing with a loud bang and plunged into the brightly lit horde of corpses. The instant it sped off, Duan Rong swerved the steering wheel!

At least four or five zombies were crushed under the wheels of the vehicle, bouncing around like speed bumps, making Guo Tian and his companions' butts ache!

As soon as the Land Rover sped off, it turned directly onto the sidewalk. This was something Duan Rong had planned before he sped off, because the road was full of cars, but the sidewalk was relatively more spacious.

Moreover, as a planned commercial area, the CBD has wide sidewalks, so a Land Rover can easily pass through.

As soon as they turned onto the sidewalk, a large horde of zombies rushed towards them. Whether it was the infrared light shining through the glass or the roar of the Land Rover's engine, it all attracted the surrounding zombies, driving them to surge towards them like madmen.

As soon as Duan Rong turned onto the sidewalk, he accelerated again.

The massive Land Rover roared past, crushing and ramming through the horde of corpses as if it had crashed into a sorghum field. Countless sorghum stalks fell on both sides, and the sound of flesh and bone shattering echoed through the air...

The Land Rover was large and tall, so the zombies outside couldn't block the view of the people inside.

Duan Rong charged forward with incredible speed, the horde of corpses surging in wave after wave, but all were driven away by the roaring Land Rover. The Land Rover was like a strange ship bobbing up and down in the zombie horde, constantly piercing through wave after wave of corpses.

Soon, they arrived at the intersection, and Duan Rong could see the congested intersection through the dense horde of corpses.

They had to rush across the intersection to get into a building on the other side of the road.

In the congested intersection, Duan Rong carefully selected the weakest point, the easiest place to crash into, where two cars had collided.

If the Land Rover can get through there, they can drive straight to the other side of the road.

While still on the sidewalk, Duan Rong suddenly swerved the steering wheel, floored the accelerator, and crashed into the intersection of the two cars.

On both sides were the corpses of zombies being constantly crushed. The dense horde of zombies slowed down the Land Rover's speed. When it crashed into the other vehicle with a bang, it didn't even manage to clear the intersection of the two cars.

Duan Rong turned his head and saw that the horde of corpses gathering nearby was becoming increasingly dense, clearly attracted by the engine noise and infrared beams. If this continued, they would soon be overwhelmed by the zombie horde.

Duan Rong wanted to reverse the Land Rover a bit before charging forward, but he found that the approaching horde of zombies was too ferocious!
He suddenly said coldly, "Take out the newspapers you prepared and cover the windows."

Upon hearing this, Guo Tian and his companions immediately took out newspapers they had prepared in advance from their backpacks and covered all the car windows.

Duan Rong covered the windshield in front of him with newspaper, and then he turned off the Land Rover.

If the windows are covered, the zombies won't be able to see the infrared beams. If the Land Rover is turned off, they won't be able to hear the engine.

Once sound and infrared light are gone, the zombies will lose their target.

Sure enough, Duan Rong saw through the gaps in the newspaper that the horde of zombies outside had suddenly calmed down. The zombies began to look around blankly, and many started to turn their heads and wander aimlessly in some direction...

The original torrential rain and strong winds gradually receded, like the tide going out.

The horde of corpses outside gradually quieted down.

Everyone hid inside the car without making a sound. Duan Rong was in no hurry to start the Land Rover. He wanted to wait for the horde of corpses to disperse further, giving him enough space to use the Land Rover to smash through the two cars at the intersection.

They waited in the car for a full hour because the zombies were aimless and dispersed slowly.

About an hour later, the number of corpses here finally returned to a normal level.

"Alright, take the newspaper down!" Duan Rong said, then suddenly turned the car key and started the car.

The group immediately took the newspapers down. In that instant, a roar of an engine filled the air, and the Land Rover suddenly reversed, snapping several zombie corpses in half with a series of cracking sounds. Then it stopped abruptly, rushed towards the intersection, and roared away!

Now that the zombie horde was no longer an obstacle, the Land Rover galloped towards the intersection like a wild horse.

Given the size and weight of the Land Rover, and with the accelerator floored, there was a loud bang. The hood of the Land Rover was flipped open, and it actually sent another car flying, crashing out of the intersection!

The loud noise here once again caused the horde of corpses to erupt in chaos!

The impact was so powerful that everyone in the car was thrown off their seats, feeling as if their souls were leaving their bodies!

Guo Tian and the others had never experienced such a shock. Su Xinjue, Lu Chu, and Du Wan almost vomited, and Jiang Hanyan in the front row was also pale and lost her color!

As soon as he rushed out of the intersection, Duan Rong swerved the steering wheel and headed towards the building across the street. The building had a revolving glass door at the entrance, and the area around the entrance was also crowded with vehicles, as was the parking lot.

This office building is different from theirs. Theirs is in the middle of the road, while this office building is near the intersection and is almost surrounded by vehicles.

Duan Rong rammed through several cars, but then suddenly slammed on the brakes, bringing the Land Rover to a stop. It wasn't far from the revolving glass door of the building, and there were cars all around it, so the Land Rover couldn't be rammed through anymore.

Although the Land Rover was imposing, its hood was already open. Duan Rong was afraid it would explode if he crashed into it a few more times. More importantly, once he got here, he felt he could safely rush into the building.

"Put the newspaper back on!" Duan Rong said after turning off the engine again.

Guo Tian and his group immediately covered the car windows with newspapers again. This wave was too short; they lost their target as soon as the zombie horde surged. In just twenty minutes, the nearby zombie population returned to its normal density.

At that moment, the Land Rover, whose hood had been flipped up and whose tires and body were splattered with the green slime of zombie brains, suddenly opened its doors, and several figures darted out. A flash of cold light appeared, and the skulls of several nearby zombies flew off!
Almost simultaneously, they leaped onto the hoods of several nearby cars. The rooftops were relatively safe, making it difficult for zombies to get close. All seven were quite agile, and they hopped between the rooftops towards the revolving glass doors not far away.
