Chapter 57 Leaving the Resort Hotel
No one expected that the zombie in the suit hated Lu Yuan so much. It led a large group of zombies and ran after Lu Yuan. Qin Yuan jumped onto a motorcycle without thinking and drove in the direction Lu Yuan was heading. They never expected that the zombies, even the first-generation zombies, who had survived the second viral rain, would be incredibly fast. Using the rows of tall trees on both sides of the park's main road, they ran and jumped, and their speed was no less than that of Lu Yuan driving the motorcycle.
It was Lu Yuan's first time riding a motorcycle, and he was afraid that he would lose control due to the speed. He worried that if he didn't get killed by zombies, he would end up causing a car accident. He was driving a perfectly good heavy motorcycle at the speed of a small electric scooter...
Qin Yuan quickly caught up, controlling the motorcycle with one hand while still firing at the suit-clad zombie with the other. When he ran out of bullets, he caught up with Lu Yuan and shouted, "What are you doing! Drive faster! That zombie is catching up to you!"
"I, I, this is my first time riding a heavy motorcycle, and, and I just ran for so long, my legs are weak..." Lu Yuan explained while looking back at the zombies that were chasing after him.
"That's it..." Qin Yuan really couldn't believe it. He had only run for five minutes, and it was considered running for that long?
Under Lin Yun's protection, Pei Sihao, Zhong Qiang, and Yang Xiao successfully boarded the armored vehicle, not even bothering with the two remaining motorcycles Lu Yuan had brought out. Once on board, Lin Yun quickly threw a few of the same grenades he had used before into the remaining hordes of zombies, then closed the observation window and directed Gu Nanfeng to drive.
The armored vehicle quickly caught up with Lu Yuan and Qin Yuan's motorcycle, but because the zombies were scattered on both sides of the road, Gu Nanfeng was unable to rush over and run them over as he had done before.
They could only flatten the few first-generation zombies that were lagging behind Lu Yuan and were missing limbs. Lin Yun opened the observation window on the roof of the armored vehicle, set up the rifle that Lu Yuan had given him. He originally thought he wouldn't need it, but luckily he had asked for a night vision scope on the way. He searched for the figure of the suit-clad zombie in the bushes on both sides.
Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang followed Pei Sihao's example, sticking out of the observation windows on both sides with machine guns and firing. It would be best if they could get headshots, but even if they couldn't, they could still slow down the zombies' pursuit.
Lin Yun searched back and forth twice with his gun but couldn't find the zombie in the suit. Its suit should have been quite conspicuous. Just as he was wondering, he spotted the zombie in the suit directly in front of him. It had already run past Lu Yuan and was waiting ahead, followed by another wave of seventy or eighty zombies. It seemed there were quite a few zombies in this park.
Lin Yun's shooting accuracy was better than Qin Yuan's, but both of his shots were avoided by the zombies in suits. Lu Yuan was a little at a loss. He was about to enter the zombie horde, and now not only were his legs weak, but his hands were also starting to tremble.
"Don't be afraid, follow me and veer to the left." Qin Yuan, who had been on his left, now moved to his right and led him to the left, trying to bypass the horde of zombies blocking their path.
As they veered to the side, Lin Yun, on the roof of the car, didn't hesitate to throw a grenade into the horde of zombies. The grenade exploded instantly, killing seventy or eighty zombies. The zombie in the suit in the middle didn't dodge completely this time; it was injured in its right leg, which severely affected its speed.
Unable to catch up with Lu Yuan, who was being guided by Qin Yuan in driving skills, it could only turn back and stare fiercely at Lin Yun on the roof of the armored vehicle.
"It doesn't have healing abilities!" Pei Sihao climbed from the back of the car to the passenger seat and observed the zombie in the suit that had been injured by the explosion. When Lu Yuan first threw the grenade, it rushed out of the smoke and came straight over without any wounds. They thought it could heal its wounds on its own. Now it seems that they were overthinking it. Zombies have not yet evolved such a heaven-defying ability.
Gu Nanfeng also noticed the problem, and stepped on the gas pedal hard, crashing straight into the suit-wearing zombie.
"Why didn't it hit anything?" Pei Sihao clearly saw Gu Nanfeng drive straight at him, but the armored vehicle didn't seem to hit anything.
Lin Yun, who was backing out of the skylight, was about to close the window when his wrist was grabbed by a bluish-purple hand. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah!"
Yang Xiao's experience in killing zombies with cold weapons had become so extensive that it had become instinctive. Upon hearing the sound, he drew the Tang sword next to his seat and struck. The zombie in the suit lost its hand and fell into the car. Thick, black blood splattered all three people in the back of the car. If it weren't for the protective suits that covered them from head to toe, the three of them would probably be dead by now.
The suit-clad zombie, now without its hands, seemed to have gone mad. Completely disregarding its own life, it poked its head out of the armored vehicle like it was in an elevator vent, trying to squeeze in. Without hesitation, Lin Yun drew his pistol and fired a shot at the suit-clad zombie's protruding head.
Because the shot was fired at such close range, the zombie in the suit couldn't dodge it. After being shot, his greenish brain matter splattered out. Zhong Qiang, who was next to him, couldn't help but try to remove his respirator to vomit, but Yang Xiao held him down. Right now, the car was probably full of zombie poison; inhaling even one breath would probably turn him into a zombie.
The zombie in the suit slid down from the sunroof. Lin Yun, suppressing his nausea, opened the back door and kicked it out. The zombies and some animals chasing them stopped beside its corpse and ceased their pursuit. Lin Yun saw several lions circle the zombie in the suit a few times, then lower their heads and began to devour its body. He couldn't imagine whether they would also become zombies after eating zombie flesh.
After the zombies and animals stopped chasing them, all the windows of the armored vehicle were opened. There was a lot of viscous liquid left by the zombies in suits inside the vehicle. Lin Yun, Yang Xiao, and Zhong Qiang could only avoid the pools of blood and brain matter in the back, and face the outside of the window. Although they could not remove their respirators, it was still a kind of psychological comfort.
The armored vehicle entered the ring road and saw Lu Yuan sitting by the roadside, with Qin Yuan guarding him beside him. Judging from the damaged fence, Lu Yuan's motorcycle had been thrown off, but thankfully he hadn't. He was still sitting by the roadside, terrified, his hands and legs trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing the armored vehicle stop, Lu Yuan took the remaining motorcycle from Qin Yuan and was about to open the door to get in when five people rushed out of the vehicle.
As soon as Zhong Qiang got out of the car, he ran to the side, removed the ventilator, and started vomiting. Lin Yun and Yang Xiao, who were closest to the zombie in the suit at the time, glanced at each other and then moved away from each other a few steps in disgust.
When Lu Yuan saw the strange-colored, viscous liquid on their bodies, he roughly guessed what had happened. He would rather die than ride in that armored vehicle again, but he couldn't just leave it there. So, despite his nausea, he put the vehicle back into his spatial storage.
Fortunately, this space is designed like a game backpack, so there's no need to worry about it contaminating food if stored together. Plus, the space seems to understand him perfectly, giving the vehicle its own separate compartment. Lu Yuan looked at it; the item name was "Armored Vehicle - Scrapped." Good, at least he won't take the wrong one next time. He can always find a chance to throw the vehicle away later.
To make it easier for the seven of them to travel together, Lu Yuan brought out an armored vehicle. Qin Yuan and Yang Xiao glanced through the window; the interior was spotless, indicating it was another armored vehicle. To avoid soiling the new vehicle, the group took turns removing their protective suits by the roadside.
Fearing someone might pick up the protective suits stained with zombie blood and brain matter, Gu Nanfeng thought for a moment and decided to burn them. However, he didn't know the quality of the suits, as they didn't burn. He considered asking Lu Yuan if he had any acidic substances in his space, preferably hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, or even vinegar if necessary.
Lu Yuan searched for a long time but couldn't find any chemical reagents, so he could only take out a jar of vinegar. The packaging did look very old. After the vinegar was poured on the protective suits, the parts stained with zombie blood began to rot. Soon, several protective suits were torn to shreds. Pei Sihao then dragged a few broken branches from the roadside, swept the pile of stuff off the roadside, and covered it with the branches.
Although the September nights weren't as hot as the days, after taking off and dealing with their clothes, everyone was covered in sweat. Without wasting any time, they got into the new armored vehicle and drove towards Gu Nanfeng's villa.
