When Oliver rushes back to the minibus, James has already filled it with gas. When everyone sees him return safely, they cheer with joy. The looks of admiration in their eyes make Oliver feel a bit embarrassed. He thinks that all he does is draw the zombies away, which isn't a huge achievement.

  Victoria knows time is of the essence. She starts the minibus and quickly increases the speed to 50 kilometers per hour. In just a few minutes, they pass the gas station. After losing sight of Oliver, the zombies slowly make their way back, and the minibus passes just in time.

  Everyone cheers again because they only need to travel another ten - odd kilometers to reach the highway. If everything goes smoothly, they can reach the Dellai Base tonight and have a good night's sleep.

  James takes out a few magazines and throws them to Oliver, saying that he picks up some bullets at the gas station. He also takes out four Type - 50 pistols and gives each of the three teenagers one pistol and two magazines. Immediately, the minibus is filled with laughter and chatter. The team's firepower and safety level increase significantly.

  Fifteen minutes later, everyone sees the entrance to the highway. There are likely to be zombies here, so everyone is on high alert.

  Victoria drives carefully, while James and Liam stick their gun barrels out of the window. The three teenagers hold their pistols, excited and nervous. Only Oliver seems rather calm.

  The result is unexpected. In front of the toll station are all long - dead zombies that have been shot. Obviously, it's the work of other teams passing by. It seems that they aren't the only ones heading to the Dellai Base.

  Oliver has expected this but doesn't say anything. He thinks it's a good thing for the team to stay vigilant as it can reduce casualties. This team is his reliance in the apocalypse.

  The minibus drives onto the highway. The road is desolate, quite different from its once - busy state.

  The minibus reaches its top speed of 75 kilometers per hour. At this rate, they can reach the base in two hours, and everyone is excitedly chatting.

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  However, after more than ten minutes, Victoria makes a gesture indicating danger, and everyone tenses up. She points at the rear - view mirror and says, "Look behind you."

  Oliver looks over and sees a huge vehicle chasing after them quickly, with more than ten other vehicles following.

  James takes one look and says uneasily, "A heavy -duty road opener. This team is no ordinary one. This heavy duty road opener is equipped to the military in 2058. With six - wheel drive, it weighs 120 tons but can reach a speed of 110 kilometers per hour."

  A few minutes later, the heavy - duty road - opener catches up with the minibus. It's several meters high, making the minibus look tiny in comparison.

  The diamond drill on the front of the road - opener is covered in black blood, clearly having crushed many zombies.

  As the two vehicles pass, a young man with yellow - dyed hair sticks his head out of the cab of the road - opener.

  He gives everyone in the minibus the middle finger and then honks the horn. "Du... Du..." The loud noise shatters the minibus's glass. Everyone in the minibus is temporarily deafened, screaming in pain.

  The minibus sways out of control.

  The young man with yellow hair shouts, "You're lucky to have made it this far with this piece - of - junk vehicle. Otherwise, I’d crush it into pieces." Then he drives away quickly.

  Behind the road - opener are five large trailers with shooting holes and machine - gun barrels. In the middle are three BMWs and a Mercedes - Benz, which seem to be the vehicles of the leaders.

  There's also an oil tanker, and just by listening to the engine sound, one can tell the tank is full of oil. At the end of the team are six cars of various models. Since the windows are closed, it's hard to see the people inside.

  After the team passes, the minibus stops. Victoria's ears are bleeding from the loud noise, and she groans in pain. The others are also dizzy. George, who has a weaker constitution, even vomits.

  The whole team seems to have lost their combat ability after the few honks.

  Oliver is the least affected, but his head still tingles. He stands up, kicks the inside of the minibus, and curses, "These bastards. If I meet them again, I'll blow their heads off."

  James bitterly and says, "We're no match for them. This team has at least a hundred people and many heavy weapons. With this road - opener, who would be afraid of those damned zombies?"

  Liam is also full of envy. "Yeah, if we had such a road - opener, we wouldn't have had such a tough time on the way."

  After everyone recovers, Victoria tries to start the minibus but can't. She shakes her head helplessly and says the vehicle has a problem. Hearing this, Oliver, who is already in a bad mood, gets even angrier and curses, "I should have shot their tires just now."

  George finds the toolbox and crawls under the minibus. With his years of experience, he can tell what's wrong just by listening to the starting sound.
