Desolate streets were littered with wrecked vehicles, and human corpses were scattered everywhere, most of which had been gnawed down to the bone.

  A lone, festering corpse wandered aimlessly.

  In vain

  Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

  Several figures came rushing from the distance of the street, led by a young man in black sportswear, with an expressionless face. Although he was running at high speed, he didn't seem to be out of breath at all.

  Behind him followed two girls, one looking around seven or eight years old, with a tender face full of innocence, wearing black plastic glasses frames without lenses, occasionally pushing the frames up.

  Another girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old, was dressed in an exceptionally luxurious manner. She wore a European-style black dress that reached the ground, and on her head she wore a thin, black veil that covered the upper half of her face, revealing only her perfectly arched, snow-white chin. Her loose, black skirt hid her feet, but occasionally the wind would blow it open, revealing a glimpse of her snowy white ankles, creating a stunningly beautiful effect.

  Behind them were seven or eight rotting corpses, and from a distance, it seemed as if those people were being chased by the corpses.

  Lin Chao took a glance at the sky, dusk had already fallen, and the putrid smell in the air seemed to have grown thicker. He said in a low voice: "Find a place to rest, we'll continue on our journey tomorrow."

  "Uh-huh." Lin Shiyu listened to him completely.

  Fan Xiangyu asked in confusion: "You're so strong, shouldn't you be able to travel at night without any issues?"

  "In this city, there aren't many who can threaten me, but there are too many who can kill you."

  Fan Xiangyu curled her lip and thought to herself, "If you hadn't stopped me from evolving, I would have dominated this place long ago. Hmph!"

  Lin Chao casually chose an office building as a temporary shelter, just about to go over, when he suddenly heard a faint breathing sound coming from behind the office building.

  "Are there any survivors?" Lin Chao's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Just then, this faint breathing sound moved over here, and soon Lin Chao saw a woman's face sticking out from the alley behind the office building, waving at Lin Chao and his group with her hand, and shouting in a low voice: "Come quickly, come here!"

  Lin Chao's face turned strange along with two other people.

  Lin Shiyu suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed, "I know! She must think that the few rotting corpses controlled by Xiaoxiang are chasing us, so she wants to save us."

  "Save people? Are there still such foolish humans?" Fan Xiang exclaimed in surprise.

  Lin Chao stopped in his tracks, took a glance at the woman, and didn't directly approach her. He didn't want to have too much contact with these survivors.

  Yefei hid at the alley entrance, seeing that these three people had actually stopped stupidly, and the corpses chasing them from behind were about to arrive. She was in a hurry, didn't have time to think too much, and rushed out of the alley entrance, running to the front of the three people, and hastily said: "Quickly follow me, I have a shelter, they are coming soon, quickly!"

  She spoke rapidly, while speaking, she squatted down and picked up the little girl among the three, quickly turned around and ran towards the alley entrance.

  "This..." Fan Xiangyu was stunned, clearly not expecting there to be someone so fearless. She turned her head to look at Lin Chao and said, "What do we do? She's taken your sister away."

  Lin Chao glared at her and said, "Control your few monsters and keep them away from us. We're going to follow him."

  Fan Xiangyu let out a "huh" and gave the few pursuing zombies an order to stay in place, then immediately followed Lin Chao from behind.

  Yefei hugged Lin Shiyu and entered the alley, then turned back to look at Lin Chao and Fan Xiangyu, seeing that they had followed, she finally felt relieved, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, these monsters are very fast!"

  Fan Xiangyu smiled and said "heh", feeling that this woman was a bit cute, if the three of them were ordinary survivors, they would have been killed by these zombies long ago, why would they still be chasing for so long.

  Lin Chao gave her a sideways glance, with a hint of warning.

  Looking at his cold gaze, Fan Xiangyu barely held back her smile, but a hint of a smile still lingered on her face. She covered her mouth with her snow-white slender hand, and her shoulders kept shaking.

  Lin Chao rolled his eyes and gave a glance to Lin Shi Yu, who was carrying the woman on her shoulder, indicating that she should not reveal her true abilities.

  Lin Shiyu nodded and then lowered her head to play with the woman's hair using her small hands.

  Yefei ran breathlessly, and when she was about to reach the shelter, she looked back at the rear, and after not seeing the shadow of those monsters, she let out a sigh of relief. She immediately put down the little girl on her shoulder, panting heavily, although her whole body was exhausted, but in her heart, she was very relieved, having saved three lives again.

  Looking at the little girl's innocent face, she felt a tinge of pity in her heart, stroking her hair and saying, "Don't be afraid, sister is here."

  Hiccup!

  Fan Xiangyu couldn't hold it in, almost spraying out her snot, and when Ye Fei looked up at her, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand, but really couldn't hold back anymore, her shoulders shaking nonstop.

  Lin Chao was speechless, is it so funny that you'll die if you don't laugh?

  "What's wrong?" Yefe looked at her actions and thought of something, immediately sighed: "Don't be sad, at least we're still alive, as long as we're alive there's hope!"

  Fan Xiangyu turned her head away, her shoulders shaking even more violently.

  Lin Chao saw that the woman was about to say something else, and hastily interrupted her, lest she continue talking and suffocate this laughing stock of a rotten corpse of a woman. He said: "It's getting late, do you have a place to stay?"

  Ye Fei glanced at him and thought of the young man who, when facing the pursuit of the rotting corpse, actually brought a little girl and another girl with no combat power. He had some admiration in his eyes and said, "Alright, follow me."

  Under her leadership, Lin Chao and the other two followed her to a garage-like underground room. What surprised Lin Chao was that there were seven or eight survivors here, each of whom was shabby and depressed, sitting in a circle together to warm themselves by the fire.

  It's already December, just entered January, and it's the coldest season. For an Evolver like Lin Chao, he naturally doesn't fear the cold and can get by with thin clothing. But these people were ordinary survivors, each wearing thick down jackets, huddled together like a bug.

  As Lin Chao and the other two arrived, these survivors lifted their heads one after another. Lin Chao clearly saw that at first, their expressions were filled with anticipation, but when they saw Lin Chao and the other two, they immediately turned to shock, followed by disappointment, and even a hint of obscure anger.

  "Officer Ye, you're back." A middle-aged man with slightly more neat and clean clothes stood up, forcing a smile as he greeted Ye Fei.

  Policewoman? Lin Chao's eyes unconsciously swept towards the woman's waist, where a gun was holstered.

  Upon hearing his words, Ye Fei suddenly remembered something and turned back to Lin Chao and the others, saying: "I'm a police officer, my name is Ye Fei. You can rest assured, there are no corpses rotting around here, it's very safe. I patrol this area every day."

  ……

  The second update is done, and I'll start writing the third one next. It's expected to be finished before 1 o'clock.
