In the County thirty-plus kilometers away from the base, the number of zombies was even more terrifying; the entire County was densely packed with zombies.
During one Zombie Tide, a pattern emerged: the more living people there were, the larger the Zombie Tide that was drawn to them.
And in the city center 80 kilometers from the base, the Zombie Tide was even more appalling. From north to south, it swept along an ever-increasing number of zombies.
Even in the countryside, zombies were slowly congregating towards cities with more people—the larger the city, the more living humans, the more zombies there were.
In the County, due to the night and the rainstorm, the zombies' sense of smell and hearing were enhanced, making survival even more difficult for the people hidden away in every nook and cranny.
Some people, perhaps due to luck or because they lived on higher ground, were not discovered by zombies. But many more survivors were found by zombies and devoured!
