(3) Evil, in the Face of Righteousness, Reveals a Timid Heart (3)

If she could really get there, she could let Nhuc Nhuc be in a safe environment.

This was what she had always hoped for.

Tu Dinh grabbed her machete and car keys and hurriedly left. Those on the upper floor watched the car start downstairs, exchanging glances.

"Do you think she can make it there?"

"It feels dangerous. There are really too many zombies in the city. She might not be able to make it."

"I think so too."

"Then if something happens to her, what about this child?"

Everyone looked at Nhuc Nhuc, who was sitting there pitifully. No one spoke. If Tu Dinh really died on the way, what would happen to this child? There was definitely no need to say more.

The outcome was already concluded.

Apart from biological parents who would risk their lives to protect their child, what stranger would do such a thing?

Of course, perhaps a kind-hearted person would.

At least...

They wouldn't; they just wanted to live.

At this moment.

Tu Dinh, driving the car, thought about the route. Passing through the bustling streets was definitely not an option; those places had the most zombies. When the number reached a certain level, it would be impossible to break through.

She planned her route; it might involve a detour.

But safety could be ensured.

Take the overpass, go through the tunnel.

After deciding on the route, she floored the accelerator and sped forward. The shambling zombies heard the sound of the engine, roared, and wanted to chase the car.

If it were the early stages of the apocalypse, a driver encountering a zombie horde chasing them might panic, leading to various fatal mistakes.

But Tu Dinh was as steady as a mountain.

This was all honed through her experiences. She was also very scared, but she had a reason not to be scared, and that was her Nhuc Nhuc.

Tu Dinh glanced at the rearview mirror.

A Speed-type zombie was chasing, running very fast. However, for Tu Dinh, even if that zombie could fly, it wouldn't matter. Her destination was the Duong Quang shelter.

Taking a detour, a journey that seemed like it could be completed in an hour, according to Tu Dinh, if things went smoothly, might still take several hours.

Entering the tunnel.

The dim environment made it difficult for Tu Dinh to see the situation ahead. The moment she turned on the car lights, she was completely dumbfounded. The entire tunnel was packed with zombies.

In the dim environment, the shambling zombies sensed the movement, turned their heads, saw the vehicle, let out "meow meow" shrieks, and then, one by one, like mad dogs, frantically rushed towards the vehicle.

"Damn it."

Tu Dinh gritted her teeth and turned the car at high speed.

She hadn't expected this place to be crowded with a horde of zombies. This road was completely impassable; she could only change to another road.

Bang!

Bang!

The vehicle continuously collided with the zombies following behind.

This horde of zombies felt no pain. Unless they were truly dead, they would tear apart the prey before them.

Breaking through the encirclement, she instantly straightened the car, confirmed a route, and sped towards another road. She knew there were many zombies around, but she hadn't expected there to be so many.

She had an absolute conviction, which was to rush out of this place and reach the Duong Quang shelter mentioned in the "Zombie Picture Book."

"What do you guys think happened to Tu Dinh now?"

"Who knows? Anyway, getting to Duong Quang Residential Area is not that simple. The zombies on this road are a terrifying obstacle. Once surrounded, there's basically no escape."

"Do you think this Lam Pham mentioned in the "Zombie Picture Book" is really that formidable? Even this Hybrid-type zombie he calls it, is it really that terrifying? We've never seen it, but he says only he can hunt it."

They discussed. They weren't too concerned about whether Tu Dinh lived or died. If she could survive and reach there, bringing people to save them would be best.

If she died, the impact on them wouldn't be significant, just that they would lack a capable assistant when going out to find supplies later.

Suddenly.

A survivor walked to the window, looking at the situation below. He was originally just looking casually. Instantly, he saw a zombie standing in a corner not far away, just like that, with stiff movements, looking at their location.

If this were in the past, he would definitely have said, "Stupid zombie, what are you looking at?"

But now.

He had an uneasy feeling.

It was as if he had thought of something.

He quickly walked to the table. Under the puzzled gazes of his companions, he flipped open the "Zombie Picture Book," searching for the records within. Gradually, his expression became uglier and uglier, even a bit ashen.

He looked up, looking at everyone.

"I think I saw a Surveillance-type zombie."

"Huh!?"

"What?"

He continued, "According to the records in the Zombie Picture Book, once a Surveillance-type zombie confirms the location of survivors, it will summon zombies to attack the survivors' shelter. No matter how high it is, zombies will pile up and climb. Look."

He presented the Zombie Picture Book before everyone.

The group hurriedly looked.

Then they went to the window and looked down. He pointed to a corner not far away, "Look, that's a Surveillance-type zombie."

In terms of appearance, a Surveillance-type zombie was absolutely no different from an ordinary zombie.

The only difference to speak of... was that ordinary zombies shambled around, looking very easy to deal with, while a Surveillance-type zombie just stood there, staring.

"It really seems to be."

"It's not 'seems to be,' it really is. According to this situation, at most... Holy crap, that Surveillance-type zombie moved! It's heading into the distance. Is it going to summon zombies?"

"It must have been when Tu Dinh left; her movements were seen by the Surveillance-type zombie, which is why it came here."

They looked towards Nhuc Nhuc, who was hiding in a corner playing with a toy airplane.

Nhuc Nhuc looked up blankly.

"Uncles, aunties, is something wrong?"

Nhuc Nhuc didn't know why the uncles and aunties were looking at him like that, but his mommy had said to listen to the uncles and aunties, to stay here and not run around. He was a very obedient baby, so he wouldn't move around.

They continued to discuss.

"What do we do now?"

"If it's really as the picture book says, then what awaits us later will be countless zombies."

"The only escape route left for us is to leave right now."

"Now?"

"That's right. We'll go through the sewer. There's a car parked on the other side. I left it there before, just in case."

They looked at Nhuc Nhuc again.

Nhuc Nhuc was very puzzled. Why were the uncles and aunties always looking at him?

They did as they said. Of course, they didn't abandon Nhuc Nhuc. After all, Tu Dinh's situation was still unknown. What if she survived? At least they hadn't encountered danger yet, so of course, they wouldn't abandon Nhuc Nhuc.

"Go."

They took Nhuc Nhuc downstairs, then pried open a manhole cover. The dim environment and the stinky smell made Nhuc Nhuc a bit uncomfortable, but Nhuc Nhuc didn't make a fuss. Instead, he held his nose and obediently followed the uncles and aunties.

Stepping on the smelly sewage, they walked forward through the pipes.

Very quickly.

They reached their destination. Above them was a manhole cover. One of the male survivors climbed the ladder, gently propped open the manhole cover, revealing a gap for observation, and cautiously observed the surroundings.

The vehicle was parked right beside them.

There were also zombies in the distance, but the distance was probably thirty or forty meters. It should be enough for them to get into the car.

"Keep it down, don't make any noise. The zombies are probably only thirty or forty meters away from us. If we are discovered, none of us will be able to escape."

After speaking.

He gently moved the manhole cover, moving it bit by bit, not daring to make any sound.

This process was relatively torturous.

No matter who it was, it would be difficult to remain calm.

Something that could clearly be resolved in a few seconds, he surprisingly took ten minutes to do. When he removed the manhole cover, he was sweating all over, as if a century had passed.

He tiptoed out of the sewer, went to the car beside him, gently opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and constantly observed the situation behind him.

The first one.

Immediately after.

The second survivor climbed out.

Also tiptoeing. Seeing the zombies in the distance, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly ran to the car and shrank his body, as if afraid of being seen by the zombies.

The third one.

The fourth one.

And the female survivor in the sewer, thinking of letting Nhuc Nhuc go up first, suddenly heard her companion's voice from outside.

"Hurry up, the zombies have noticed us here!"

As her companion's voice came.

The female survivor, who was still thinking of letting Nhuc Nhuc go up first, directly pulled Nhuc Nhuc down. Disregarding Nhuc Nhuc who had fallen into the sewage, she quickly climbed upwards.

When the female survivor climbed to the ground, she saw that the vehicle had actually driven off. Just as she was about to speak, she was pounced on by the chasing zombies.

"Ah, no..."

Splat!

The zombies viciously bit her neck. A large amount of blood flowed out. The tragic scream didn't last long before there was no sound, and instead, she turned into a zombie, shakily stood up, struggled with her limbs, and then chased after the fleeing vehicle.
