Crossing the River

Before the machine gun fire, many zombies had already been shot down, but they were not killed.

As Xiao Fan drove over them like this, some of the zombies that were not dead were crushed on the spot!

Originally the bullets were used up, and the Lynx All-Terrain Vehicle was difficult to upgrade, but with Xiao Fan's actions, the Lynx All-Terrain Vehicle was directly upgraded to one star!

Inside the system, Annie immediately issued a prompt.

"Commander-in-Chief, the Lynx All-Terrain Vehicle has been upgraded to one star. The vehicle's power is enhanced, damaged parts are automatically repaired, the vehicle's armor strength is increased, the fuel tank is automatically refilled, the machine gun bullets are replenished, and the ammunition capacity is increased to 1000 rounds!"

Xiao Fan was immediately overjoyed, and shouted to Xu Qiang, who immediately grabbed the machine gun again.

Before opening fire, Xu Qiang sincerely admired: "Commander-in-Chief, you are indeed omnipotent!"

Xiao Fan was a little embarrassed, this was not such an amazing move, but the system gave every Red Guard soldier unlimited loyalty and admiration for him. In the eyes of the Red Guards, Xiao Fan was an invincible existence.

Little did they know Xiao Fan could barely shoot a gun and drive a car, his combat ability was really nothing to speak of.

With the vehicle upgraded, the doubled ammunition allowed Xu Qiang to fire unrestrainedly. The powerful firepower of the machine gun immediately suppressed the zombies again, buying time for Wang Zhan and the others.

After a minute, there was a cheer from Wang Zhan's side. The two barricading vehicles had been pushed away and they could get through.

The soldiers quickly fell in, the motorcycles started up, and this time Xu Qiang drove the vehicle. The Lynx all-terrain vehicle rushed through the gap directly towards the riverbank!

After crossing the road, the riverside park was in front. There were no blocked cars there.

However, there were also countless zombies in the riverside park. On summer days, many people came here to enjoy the cool air by the river. There must have been tens of thousands of zombies in this park.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan and the others were no longer focused on killing now. Xu Qiang simply drove the vehicle forward recklessly. Although countless zombies kept throwing themselves against the car with loud bangs, the upgraded armor of the Lynx protected the vehicle. This kind of ordinary impact could no longer shake the car.

The soldiers leaning out of the car window shot at any zombie that came too close, to prevent too many from slamming into the car.

Boom!

The car crashed through a long bench in the park, then drove through a stretch of greenery and finally rushed onto the beach.

They were now only a hundred meters or so from the river. Xiao Fan believed no zombie could block them anymore.

But just at this moment, a female zombie suddenly appeared behind the car.

The reason it caught their attention was because this was a young female zombie wearing tattered bikini.

If it was just that, Xiao Fan wouldn't have noticed it, because most zombies' bodies were somewhat mangled.

Whether bitten, rotting, or anything else that made people nauseous at another look.

But this female zombie was a little different. Although also a zombie, her body was surprisingly intact, and she didn't look too dirty either. Her whole body looked very powerful.

The skin color was also better, not ghastly pale or bloody like other zombies.

If zombies had beauty contests, this one could probably make it to the finals.

The main thing was this zombie looked a little different than others. As for things like snow white skin, rounded parts, perky parts, a mole on her chest, Xiao Fan didn't notice any of that at all.

But the razor-sharp nails made this female zombie look especially dangerous.

It turned out Xiao Fan was right. While the other zombies shambled behind, this female zombie was running!

That's right, although not very fast, she was definitely running, even a little faster than an average woman.

"Take her out!"

Xiao Fan felt a sense of danger. This was the second strange zombie he had encountered.

The first was in the conference room of the hospital, where there was a taller zombie that his little revolver somehow couldn't penetrate the skull of.

That one was male, and this one female. Clearly this zombie was much more agile than the others.

If all zombies could run like this female, Xiao Fan believed there was no way they could have made it to the beach. They probably would have been wiped out back at the intersection.

A soldier behind raised his gun and shot at the zombie's head.

With a bang, the zombie clearly dodged, her head avoiding the bullet which just grazed her shoulder in a spray of blood.

"She can dodge?"

Xiao Fan couldn't believe his eyes widening, this zombie clearly had some combat instincts. Although still a little clumsy, she was definitely dodging.

Although the soldier was just a 1-star, there was no reason he should miss at this short distance.

Xiao Fan had an ominous feeling.

Could zombies evolve too?

If so, humans would really be in danger.

Currently most survivors were hiding in their homes. Along the way, Xiao Fan had seen many survivors on the radar screen.

Less than a week into the apocalypse, survivors could still rely on food at home to get by for now. But Xiao Fan could imagine this could not last long at all.

With no one manning the power plants, how long could electricity last?

With the water supply facilities abandoned, how long could water keep running?

Even discounting worries about water and power, how long would the stored food at home last?

In Xiao Fan's view, if they didn't escape the city quickly now while the zombies were not too strong yet, it would become increasingly difficult for people in the city to survive later.

One day when they ran out of food and even had no way to cook what little they had, by the time they tried to get out, they would find themselves completely unable to adapt to this world. Death would be all that awaited them.

Perhaps some could survive, but definitely only an extremely small number.

Unless there was powerful rescue, but that seemed very unlikely given the current circumstances.

If zombies really could evolve, the situation would be even more dangerous.

The few soldiers in the car including Xu Qiang all opened fire. This time Xu Qiang's shot struck the female zombie's head, finally taking her down.

Xiao Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although fast, this female zombie's defenses were clearly inferior to that large male zombie, so she wasn't too difficult to deal with.

But they were delayed by her, and more zombies had gathered around them.

In front of Xiao Fan's vehicle was only the vast expanse of the river, with no more road ahead.

Xiao Fan yelled to Wang Zhan behind them, "Link the cables, Lynx holds the motorcycle, others cover us!"

Wang Zhan quickly jumped out and took out a cable, swiftly tying one end to the back of the Lynx and the other end to the front of the motorcycle.

The others all fired together to suppress the approaching zombie horde.

With the cable tied, Xiao Fan waved his hand, "Charge, charge into the Bao River!"

The Lynx roared and rushed straight into the vast Bao River!
