"Red Sister, I hope you can see this message soon. The orphanage has been destroyed, and I left Pengcheng with Azure Mantis, heading south along National Route 104!"
"Red Sister, I plan to go to Jinling! You should leave Pengcheng quickly too; it's too dangerous here! The military is likely to abandon this city!"
"Red Sister, I know you will survive! We will meet again, we definitely will!"
Shen Yuan edited three messages in a row, hoping that once he reached an area with signal, these messages could be sent out so that Red Sister could see them in time.
He pre-edited them because he was worried he might not find a signal in time and wouldn't be able to call or text Red Sister!
That was all he could do!
He had already been waiting at the orphanage for about half an hour, and since Red Sister hadn't arrived, it indicated that something had gone wrong, and she might not be able to come.
He couldn't wait any longer and had to choose to leave!
"Whoosh!"
A small car sped past him, followed by a second and a third.
It was already nine-thirty in the morning!
Mutant Creatures were becoming more numerous, and even the number of mutated people was increasing; the streets and neighborhoods were filled with bloodshot-eyed, crazed Undead.
Of course, some people were fortunate enough to hide in rooms or closed spaces and remained safe.
These individuals waited for a while but then realized the situation was getting worse. Eventually, they couldn't even guarantee communication anymore, and with the emergence of devastating monsters like the "Mutated Brown Bear", they understood that the city was extremely dangerous, prompting many to leave.
Many people drove private cars, which seemed safer than motorcycles or Electric Vehicles. However, Shen Yuan did not agree.
Because many roads were already congested or even blocked!
Not to mention, several roads near the Southern Communication Building were definitely sealed off by collapsed buildings, making it impossible for cars to pass. On the contrary, motorcycles were more agile and easier to use for leaving the city.
Driving has become excessive, and due to impatience, congestion and even collisions are likely to occur. Once traffic jams happen, it becomes impossible to move.
Of course, motorcycles also have their downsides, as they expose the rider to the outside and make them vulnerable to attacks from Mutant Mice and Undead.
"Beijing Road, Shanghai Road, Nanjing Road, Liberation South Road..."
"South Third Ring Road..."
The Communication Building is located between Shanghai Road and Beijing Road; both roads are likely congested, but it seems that only part of them is blocked at the moment.
By detouring from Nanjing Road to Liberation South Road, then heading south onto South Third Ring Road, continuing west leads to Yingbin Avenue. From there, one can choose to take National Route 104 or go directly onto the highway.
These two routes should be relatively safe since they are main roads. The military will certainly ensure these roads remain clear because if the army wants to retreat towards Jinling, the best choice would be to use these two routes... if they can still manage that.
"Let's see how it goes."
Leaving the urban area is a necessity due to the danger. However, rural areas may have more animals and might not be any safer... Nevertheless, Shen Yuan had a general understanding of the situation in rural areas before communication was cut off. Although there are many mutated poultry and livestock like pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks, they are much milder compared to bears, tigers, or lions. Moreover, there hasn't been a large-scale disaster caused by Mutant Mice.
And!
Not all Mutant Creatures are fierce and terrifying.
Many mutated animals still retain their original nature and have good relationships with their owners—just like A Hu.
Therefore, rural areas are relatively safer.
Additionally!
In Pengcheng, there has been a disaster caused by Mutant Mice. It is unknown what virus the Mutant Mice carry; those bitten by them will turn red-eyed, lose their sanity, and become aggressive if they do not die. The population density in Pengcheng Urban Area is too high; there are too many Undead... in some ways, they are more terrifying than mutated animals.
The Plague spreads through the air, increasing the viral load of the Plague in the atmosphere. Who knows if Normal People might get infected this way and also become Undead?
You should know that Pengcheng has over ten million people! The urban area alone has more than two million!
If the Plague spreads and cannot be controlled...
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!
"First, go to Nanjing Road!"
Leaving the orphanage, Shen Yuan rode his motorcycle, speeding along the current road.
Soon at a fork in the road, he saw a car accident; several small cars had collided from different directions. The people inside were likely dead, and the cars behind were blocked, forcing many to get out...
However, a large number of Undead surrounded them, and they had to return to their vehicles, tightly closing the doors and windows.
But those Undead didn't feel pain and slammed against the doors and windows. No matter how good the materials were, they couldn't withstand such frenzied impacts.
The timid could only wait to die, trembling in their cars, fear growing within them.
The brave picked up tripods, fire extinguishers, and Jack, smashing them at the Undead. Or they tried to reverse or turn around, knocking the Undead away before speeding off.
Blood stained the asphalt road and various vehicles.
Everywhere was congested with four-wheeled vehicles, making Shen Yuan's motorcycle seem somewhat unique.
So when they saw him, it wasn't just the Undead that surged forward; there were also those armed Normal Person.
"Motorcycle! That young guy has a motorcycle! An all-terrain one!"
"Hey buddy, give me a ride! I'll pay you one hundred thousand RMB!"
"Stop the damn bike! Or I'll kill you!"
"The motorcycle is mine! Who dares to take it from me? I'll kill you!"
Shen Yuan sneered, looking at the crowd of Normal Persons and Non-Normal Persons surrounding him, as if he had returned to when he was sixteen, back when Red Sister took him to fight in a brawl, surrounded by fierce faces, the air filled with the scent of urban savagery.
Back then, he faced a group of small-time thugs armed with wooden sticks and iron rods; now, he was up against a horde of mindless Undead and a group of rational yet inhumane Normal Persons!
Perhaps… this is true humanity?
The apocalypse peeled away the layers of civilization, revealing the twisted and ugly human heart?
Back then, Red Sister protected him; now he had to protect the little girl in his arms.
"A Hu, keep up!"
Shen Yuan revved the engine, making a sharp turn that knocked over two Undead and one Normal Person. The power of the Heavy Motorcycle was overwhelming; a human weighing only a few dozen kilograms couldn't possibly stand in its way. Seeing him ruthlessly knock down a Normal Person, it was clear they were not the soft targets he had imagined. Most Normal Persons staggered back a few steps, many choosing to flee or retreat back into their vehicles!
"Damn it, you're ruthless! I'm even more ruthless! I was going to spare your life, but you’re asking for it!"
A burly man threw a Jack at Shen Yuan with great speed!
The man, not yet thirty, was muscular and wore a tank top in April. Each of his arms bore a tattoo of a fierce dragon, making him look anything but an ordinary thug.
This powerful strike was meant to kill!
