"Oh no!"
Jack, who was driving, suddenly changed his expression, instinctively gripping the steering wheel tightly. This was the first time he had shown such a serious demeanor since the appearance of the living corpse. In the back seat, Boss Hu, who was about to light a cigarette, was so startled by what he saw in front of the car that he nearly stuffed the lighter into his mouth.
In the building materials wholesale market, the living corpses surged out, and it was unclear whether it was the smell or the sound of gunfire that attracted them. Thousands of stinking living corpses, accompanied by small groups of wandering corpses, charged towards Jack and the others at a sprinting speed, dense and chaotic, like a rolling wave of darkness!
Jack showed no hesitation, sharply turning the black steering wheel to the left once again, causing the entire vehicle to tilt high. Lao Hu in the back seat screamed like a little wife whose flowered pants had been torn, "Wow wow!" Gao Chujing was no better, his eyes wide open like two copper bells, panicking and shouting, "Don't... don't..."
The Dongfeng Warrior, like a mud rat, drew a large arc on the road, barely brushing past the rapidly approaching horde of corpses. Despite its heavy weight, the high-speed turn gradually lifted both tires off the ground. This was why Jack dared to drive like this in a moment of desperation; even Takumi Fujiwara, who was used to drifting on Akina, wouldn't have the guts to handle such a high-difficulty maneuver in this domestic military vehicle.
The Warrior's chassis suspension was very high, which also raised its center of gravity. Such a vehicle could not be designed for high-speed drifting; forcing a drift would directly lead to a rollover. Even with Jack behind the wheel, it would be futile. The two tires on the left side, having left the ground, flew higher and higher like wild children once they were airborne!
As the Warrior was about to roll over, in a critical moment, Thomas Xu, who was squatting in the back seat, realized something was wrong. He lunged forward and pressed himself firmly against Lao Hu, trying to use his weight to push the tilted vehicle back. However, the immense inertia of the vehicle was something his hundred-plus pounds of flesh could not counteract. The Warrior didn't even shake; with a loud crash, it unceremoniously rolled over.
Jack couldn't remember the last time he had been on a speedboat, but today, driving on land, he truly experienced that feeling again, even ten times more thrilling. He knew he had gone too far in a moment of panic, treating the Warrior like a Ferrari. At that moment, he felt like a stinky bug trapped in a tin can, being shaken around so much that he couldn't tell north from south.
The Dongfeng Warrior rolled over three times, making a loud clattering noise, and the momentum was extraordinarily grand. The horde of corpses chasing after them also suffered an unexpected disaster; the rolling Warrior, like an angry steel beast, crushed several living corpses in its path, splattering black liquid everywhere.
"Bang..."
Finally, the last roll came to an end, and the exhausted Warrior lay heavily on the ground, covered in filthy corpse fluid. Its dark exterior resembled natural camouflage. Fortunately, the last roll did not leave it upside down; all four tires landed, and the vehicle did not suffer significant deformation. Except for the windshield, which was cracked like a spider web, even the engine did not stall. If Jack hadn't been thrown around inside the car and was feeling dizzy, he might have even wanted to praise it—The Warrior, a true man's choice!
"Hurry... hurry up..." Thomas Xu, covered in blood, lay in the back seat, desperately reaching out. A heavy bullet box pressed down on him, and his voice was hoarse like an old woman in her twilight years. His head was now filled with mush, and the only thought left in his mind was to escape, to escape for his life!
"Bang bang..."
Jack instinctively took out the pistol from his waist and fired two shots at the dense group of corpses outside the car. However, he was considered a first-class expert gunman, but at this moment, he didn't even scratch the oily skin of any living corpse. The two shots he fired further aroused the ferocity of the living corpses, and they lunged forward with howls and more ferocious eyes.
"Kunikuni…"
Jack's fingers clicked one after another, and the gun was spitting out flames like a convulsion. This time, Jack didn't even need to aim, because the living corpses were already surrounding them, so many that it was terrifying to shoot through three or four of them with just one shot.
Jack's heart was burning with anxiety, but what was terrible was that his head was filled with hundreds of kilograms of lead water, and he couldn't keep his balance as it swayed around. Even the water in his brain seemed to be stirring together, making Jack's whole head buzz.
"Bang…"
Jack slapped himself hard, and the huge pain immediately sobered up his pasty head. He quickly turned his head and looked outside the car. An extremely ugly living corpse had already put half of its body into the car, and was waving its arms excitedly to grab Jack.
"Bang..."
When the gun was inserted into the zombie's mouth, the bullet also lifted off the back of its head. Jack quickly turned the gun again and quickly killed several zombies beside the car. He was lying on the steering wheel and almost couldn't breathe. Without time to change, he stepped on the clutch, pushed up the gear, and stepped on the accelerator with maximum strength. The strong Dongfeng Warrior let out a dull roar, and the tires rolled up bursts of black corpse liquid and rushed towards the weakest part of the corpse group.
"Splash..."
The warrior rushed out of the group of corpses. Jack swung a rifle and completely smashed the cracked windshield. The white mist-like sight suddenly became clear, and two living corpses pressed on the hood also appeared. Thomas opened his smelly mouth and wanted to climb into the car excitedly.
Jack looked at them expressionlessly, and was about to make a move, but a wisp of red blood dyed his vision at this moment. Jack knew that his head was injured by the feeling, numbness and itching, and a sense of weakness also came from his body, making him understand that the life-threatening drift just now would cost a lot.
After slamming on the brakes, the two tall living corpses left the car like rubber balls and fell to the ground, rolling around. Jack reached out to open his cuffs and wiped the blood stains on his face with a slightly clean side. Only then did he have time to look back at Thomas Xu and the others.
Boss Hu was pinned down by the unconscious Thomas Xu. He was covered in blood and sweat, just like a pair of good friends who had just spent their lives passionately. Boss Hu also fell unconscious and was still mumbling something. As for Gao Chujiang in the passenger seat, his condition was relatively better. He only had a big swelling on his forehead. At this moment, he got up in a daze and murmured, "We... where are we?"
"Jiangcheng!" Jack said without turning his head, his calm voice revealing no hint of joy or sorrow. However, Gao Chujiang quickly realized the dire situation around him. Looking at the swarm of living corpses closing in, Gao Chujiang clutched his thigh and shouted in horror, "Why... why are there so many living corpses?"
"There has never been a shortage, hold on tight!"
Today, Jack was ready to completely tire of being a race car driver. The speed of the warrior was once again pushed to the limit, racing down the four-lane riverside avenue in Jiangcheng like a Formula 1 car. However, the hordes of living corpses were flung off, only to reappear, as if performing a magic trick—open the box and it's still a box, open the box and it's another box, endlessly continuous!
The road to Bai Ru and the others was completely blocked. The pursuing horde of corpses was as dense as a swarm of locusts, and directly ahead was the road into the urban area of Jiangcheng. The outlines of half-collapsed or towering buildings were faintly visible, among which stood the ancient and elegant city gate, the "Zhuque Gate," a landmark ancient structure of Jiangcheng. However, this ancient building, with a history of six or seven hundred years, was as lifeless as the ancient capital it guarded, coldly observing the terrifying world of cannibalism unfolding before it!
Entering Zhuque Gate was definitely not an option; otherwise, even if Jack had wings, he wouldn't be able to fly out. But they were almost surrounded on all sides. Jack and the other three living people were like rotten meat thrown into a pile of flies, attracting a massive number of living corpses rushing towards them. A moment of carelessness could lead to a tragic end in the mouths of the corpses.
