Su Ye caught a glimpse of a crimson object rapidly enlarging out of the corner of his eye, leaving him no time to make any effective dodge.

"Bang!"

Su Ye felt as if he had been hit by a speeding motorcycle. He was thrown off the ground uncontrollably, flying in an arc before crashing heavily onto the road several meters away.

Fortunately, the huge, bulging backpack on my back acted as a cushion upon impact, absorbing most of the force.

But he was still completely disoriented from the fall, seeing stars before his eyes, his internal organs churning, and he lay on the ground for a long time, unable to breathe.

My head was buzzing, and for a fleeting moment, a voice seemed to echo in my mind.

But the extreme dizziness and will to survive left him no time to investigate what it was.

The "ghost bride" that had been knocked away seemed to have no interest in Su Ye, this "unexpected obstacle." It let out an even more shrill and venomous shriek, and the red veil that had fallen to the ground floated up in mid-air and flew back to cover its head.

Abandoning Su Ye, who was right in front of it, it transformed into a streak of red light and pounced on Old Man Zhao, who had harmed it.

Together with the four-armed wolf-headed monster chasing from the direction of the supermarket, they formed a vague pincer movement.

Su Ye sat up, shook her dizzy head, and blinked hard, her blurred vision becoming slightly clearer.

He saw the backs of the fleeing group ahead and heard the four-armed wolf-headed eerie, Old Zhao, and the ghost bride fighting each other again not far behind him.

He didn't die...

Still alive!

This realization was like a shot in the arm.

Despite the excruciating pain that felt like his entire body was falling apart and the confusion in his head, he scrambled to his feet, looking utterly pathetic.

He didn't even bother to check if the supplies in his backpack were damaged, nor did he care to think about the strange feeling that had just crossed his mind.

He had only one thought:

run!

Must run!

Taking advantage of the precious opportunity while being held back by Old Zhao, escape from this damned, eerie town!

He took a deep breath, spat out a mouthful of saliva tinged with blood, and determined his direction.

He took another step and stumbled towards the town entrance.

"quick!

Faster!

Everyone, keep up!

They're closing in!

Ahead, they were almost at the town entrance. Lin Wei could see the convoy outside the town. She spoke up again to warn them.

She still had eight large backpacks linked together on her body, yet she remained agile, constantly waving her hand to shoot out ice spikes, blocking the eerie creatures that were gradually closing in.

The remaining ten or so survivors, each carrying the weight of their abundant gains, now found themselves burdened with the struggle to escape.

Their faces were pale, and they were breathing heavily like bellows as they desperately moved their leaden legs, running wildly toward the increasingly clear outline of the convoy at the edge of town.

The team was no longer coherent; it was purely an instinctive act driven by the will to survive.

Su Ye was now at the very back, and he could clearly sense what was happening not far behind him.

The roar and aftershocks of the battle between Old Zhao and the four-armed wolf-headed monster, the ghost bride, and possibly other strange creatures that had been attracted there, a mixture of furious roars and shrieks that sent chills down one's spine.

Even more terrifying, faint, inhuman howls and sounds of movement began to emanate from all directions of the town.

It was as if the eeriness of the entire town had been alerted, and people were converging on this escape route from all directions.

Sudden--

"The roof on the left!"

Chen Shou's stern shout came through the loudspeaker.

Su Ye caught a glimpse of the roof of a two-story building on his left, where a dark figure was silently crawling down!

It was a bizarre creature resembling a giant gecko, but with a human face, moving on all fours and moving at an astonishing speed.

The tongue shot out and instantly pierced a woman's shoulder, dragging the screaming woman toward its mouth.

"court death!"

Lin Wei, who was already close to the town entrance, shouted sharply, then, without turning her head, swung her hand back.

A thick icicle shot backward like a javelin, striking the human-faced gecko squarely on the head and sending it flying.

The woman's tongue was gone from her shoulder, leaving only a large, bloody hole from which blood gushed out uncontrollably.

She screamed and fell to the ground, her backpack rolling off her body and spilling out a lot of food.

But no one helped them up, and no one picked up the scattered supplies.

Su Ye didn't dare either. He wasn't far from the woman; he could even see her desperate eyes and the horrific wounds that pierced through her chest and back.

save?

How can we save him?

Stopping means death!

Moreover, with such a penetrating wound, there's no way to save him.

He sped past the woman, his nostrils filled with the strange smell of fresh blood and broken food.

"Don't stop!"

Charge out!

Chen Shou's orders were cold and meaningless.

Su Ye's forehead veins bulged, and his lungs felt like they were on fire, about to explode.

Close, closer!

The familiar modified armored vehicle at the entrance of the town is now clearly visible!

Chen Shou stood on the roof of the car, his face solemn, and kept gesturing to Lin Wei and the fleeing group.

Outside the town entrance, the others in the convoy had already started their vehicles and were waiting anxiously.

Su Ye was among the last wave of people to rush out of the town. Of the entire group of about twenty people, only ten actually escaped.

He staggered to his electric bike, and without pausing, took his backpack off and pulled out a bottle of mineral water and a piece of chocolate.

He bit the packaging bag with his teeth, then tore it open, stuffing the entire exposed piece into his mouth, and then took a sip of water to smooth it out.

The instant sweetness of the chocolate spread throughout his mouth, making him feel as if he had come back to life.

The slight cramping sensation in his empty stomach from running subsided instantly.

He continued sipping his mineral water, his eyes constantly scanning the current situation of the group, especially the reactions of those who had previously been paired with the dead.

But at that very moment, Chen Shou's cold and urgent voice boomed through the loudspeaker:

"Let's go! Let's go immediately!"

Without the slightest hesitation.

The entire convoy sprang into action instantly.

Engines roared, tires screeched against the ground, and vehicles sped off.

Su Ye's heart tightened, and he immediately stuffed the remaining half bottle of water back into the mesh pocket on the side of his backpack, turned on the power assist function of the electric bike, and pedaled hard at the same time.

The vehicle vibrated slightly, and the motor emitted a low hum, which, combined with human effort, carried him and his heavy backpack, allowing him to barely keep up with the dust trail of the convoy.

He glanced back.

Those hikers without vehicles or carts were also trying their best to keep up with the group, but some obviously elderly and weak people were gradually falling behind.

Immediately afterwards came short, shrill screams, as well as a blood-chilling howl and chaotic sounds.

Su Ye gritted his teeth, pushed the power steering to its maximum, and stared intently at the taillights of the vehicle in front of him.

About three minutes later, a heavy "thump-thump" sound came from behind, rapidly approaching.
