Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097
His existence is a disastrous one for any type of zombie.
Lin Fan, carrying a sword, listened intently as if he heard some sounds. No one else would be able to hear it, but his sensitivity was strong enough to pick up sounds many others couldn’t.
"This sounds like gunfire."
Lin Fan was very sensitive to this kind of sound; he would never mistake it. It was coming from over there, and he quickly moved towards it.
A modified vehicle sped across the desolate plain.
Someone was driving the vehicle, while another person was on the truck bed operating the machine gun, crazily shooting at the zombies not too far away.
The zombie was using its limbs rapidly, crawling swiftly with agility, moving side to side to avoid the bullets fired from the machine gun.
"Yang Mei, can you drive faster? This zombie is too fast," shouted the male survivor operating the machine gun. He truly did not expect the zombie they encountered to be so quick.
Clearly, the firepower was strong, but they just couldn’t hit the target, making him break out in a sweat.
"The gas pedal is almost smoking from me pressing it," replied Yang Mei.
The zombie closely following them was a Hunter, a pathetic zombie with only 40 points, but this trash was only trash in front of Lin Fan. To other survivors, it was something deadly.
The Hunter was cunning, liked to treat humans as prey, and would hide in dark corners, playing with and waiting for the perfect opportunity to seize the prey.
But this time, the prey was obviously cunning, having discovered it prematurely, leading to this scene of a grand escape.
"Find a way to shake it off, this zombie is terrifying," the male survivor felt the only purpose of the machine gun was to continually harass and prevent the zombie from running comfortably; otherwise, with this zombie’s speed, it might actually catch up.
The front wheel seemed to hit a rock, causing the entire vehicle to leap high into the air, shocking them with wide-open mouths at the unexpected accident.
The vehicle that leaped high slammed to the ground, continuing forward, but something seemed off; the front wheel was damaged, speed drastically reduced, and the Hunters were closing in, anytime about to catch up.
The male survivor cried out in fear, "Yang Mei, what’s wrong, why isn’t the car running, hurry and make the gas pedal smoke!"
Yang Mei driving the vehicle was shocked by the sudden situation as well, "I’m pressing it, but the front wheel is broken."
The car began to malfunction, slowing down, with uncertain issues cropping up.
"Let’s run, the car’s broken," Yang Mei got down from the driver’s seat, hurriedly calling out to her companion.
The male survivor exhausted the bullets and jumped off the vehicle, running away, yelling for help, "Help me..."
His panicked expression was vividly displayed.
Yet humans couldn’t outrun the Hunter; they ran on all fours, and it was a dream to think humans could outpace them on just two legs.
"Yang Mei, let’s split up, whether we survive depends on our own fate."
Yang Mei agreed without thinking, as this was the only option; running together meant certain death, neither could escape, splitting up might give them a half chance to survive.
A figure appeared in front of them, quickly approaching.
Yang Mei waved, "Run, behind..."
The figure that was just ahead swiftly passed by her like the wind, startling her, mouth agape, looking back.
She saw the man with the sword already in front of the zombie, in disbelief as he chopped the pursuing zombie into pieces in a few swift strikes.
Could not help but curse, stunned to stand there.
Was it that terrifying?
A storm erupted in her mind.
How could he be so powerful?
Was he a friendly survivor? Would he harm us later?
Various questions arose in her mind.
After slicing open the zombie’s head and retrieving a crystal, Lin Fan smiled as he walked toward the stunned survivors. He hadn’t expected to encounter two.
This was indeed an unexpected blessing coming to the south.
"Hello, I’m Lin Fan, from Sunshine Shelter in Huang City. You’re really tough to survive against the Hunter for so long."
Lin Fan truly admired them.
The Hunter was dreadful, very fast, insidious, and loved playing with its prey, relishing the fear it generated.
He could see that both survivors were not Awakeners.
Surviving without abilities is not something ordinary people could achieve.
"Hello." Yang Mei and her companion greeted Lin Fan.
They pondered what he had said.
Was the zombie just referred to as a Hunter?
Lin Fan gathered from their expression that they likely didn’t have the Zombie Album, didn’t know who he was, or else according to normal circumstances, being saved by him would have made the survivors elated.
But they only had the relief of surviving a disaster.
After a simple exchange.
He learned their names were Yang Mei and Lu Jing.
"Have you been running outside to survive all along?"
Lin Fan was curious, considering how difficult it was for two ordinary people to survive in the apocalypse, and if they kept running around, it was an even greater miracle, saying the Goddess of Fortune always watched over them.
