Han Yan’s current state could be summed up as a knife poking his butt and suddenly opening his eyes to the world.
In his twenty six years of life, he had never encountered anyone as extraordinary as Zhen Lütu.
He was so furious that his face turned bright red.
Zhen Lütu, however, acted as though she had not noticed and leaned even closer to Tang Yue. She looked at Han Yan with an innocent little gaze and pouted her pink lips.

The system’s normally cold voice sounded exceptionally beautiful at this moment.
Just as Han Yan was about to reach the limit of his patience, Tang Yue finally spoke.
“There’s no time to waste. Let’s leave quickly. It’ll be even more dangerous after dark.”
Zhen Lütu nodded in agreement.
“Mm hmm, Sister Yunyun is right. Let’s hurry.”
Han Yan: “……”
The three carefully made their way out of the clothing store.
There were several scattered zombies wandering around the street. Tang Yue moved quietly and sent them all to the afterlife.
Zhen Lütu followed behind her, screaming excitedly inside.
How could anyone not love a sister like this?
Several hundred kilometers away.
Xie Lan’an and the others were speeding toward H City.
A few hours earlier, Y City had completely fallen. Zombies had poured out in hordes, and there was obviously no way the small number of special forces could drive them all back.
The military department could only issue an order for all special forces to retreat before launching missiles at the zombies.
However, this method also resulted in many zombies slipping through the net and scattering toward the surrounding cities.
A day earlier, Xie Lan’an had already contacted Han Yan via satellite and told him to meet up with them in the outskirts of H City.
Xie Lan’an, Yuan Hongshan, and Xu Tong then took turns driving the armored vehicle as they rushed toward H City.
The highway to H City was littered with abandoned vehicles billowing black smoke. Several zombies with missing arms and legs staggered along behind the speeding armored vehicle, only to be ruthlessly sent flying through the air, tracing beautiful arcs across the sky.
The man behind the wheel was wearing a camouflage vest and had a sturdy build. With a kind looking face, he was Xu Tong, the fitness fanatic of the Shadow Breath Squad.
Sitting in the passenger seat was the older Yuan Hongshan, the squad’s equipment expert. As long as it involved machinery or equipment, there was practically nothing he could not figure out.
The leader of the Shadow Breath Squad, Xie Lan’an, was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, resting.
Among the several special forces squads, Xie Lan’an was famous for his good looks. His appearance had inherited little of his father’s stern and rugged features and instead resembled his mother more.
His facial features were clean and sharply defined, his nose was tall and straight, and his eyelashes were thick. Beneath those alluring, peach blossom eyes sat a tiny beauty mark.
Whenever Han Yan was with him, he had more than once joked that even if Xie Lan’an were staring at a rock, he could make it look as though he were gazing deeply at his own lover.
He would then get beaten black and blue by his own squad leader.
Everyone in the squad knew that although Xie Lan’an had a face that made him look easy to get along with, he was nothing like that in reality.
Xie Lan’an was extremely suspicious by nature, and he was also a smiling tiger.
He would never trust someone easily. Even the members of the Shadow Breath Squad had only gradually earned his trust after following him for several years, and there was always something unfathomable hidden within those affectionate peach blossom eyes.
“Boss, there’s something ahead!” Xu Tong, who was driving, turned his head and called out to Xie Lan’an.
By then, Xie Lan’an had already opened his eyes. His peach blossom eyes looked even more captivating in the dim light, making it difficult to look away once one fell into them.
“Xu Tong, get out with me. Uncle Yuan, stay in the vehicle for now.”
Xie Lan’an gripped the two curved blades in his hands and opened the car door.
Xu Tong got out with his gun, but when he saw the enormous zombie slowly approaching them, he was startled.
That was right, it was literally a giant zombie.
No one knew how many zombies this giant zombie had devoured. Its body was as enormous as a small mountain, with countless eyes, arms, and legs fused into its flesh. Even the ground trembled slightly with every step it took.
Xu Tong subconsciously swallowed.
“Xu Tong, cover me.”
With that, Xie Lan’an charged toward the mountain sized zombie.
Xu Tong immediately opened fire, drawing its attention. Under the barrage of bullets, the giant zombie gradually became enraged and roared as it charged toward Xu Tong.
Xu Tong quickly changed positions again and again to keep it occupied.
Meanwhile, Xie Lan’an had already approached the zombie silently. With a few swift leaps, he jumped onto its body and viciously plunged both curved blades into its brain.
The mountain sized zombie, which had still been roaring moments earlier, suddenly collapsed as though its support had been removed.
Xie Lan’an immediately pulled out his blades, but as he did, he felt as though there was still something inside the zombie’s head.
He stabbed the blade back in.
From a distance, Xu Tong watched helplessly as his boss repeatedly stabbed the zombie’s head.
As expected of his boss!
Even such a bizarre hobby somehow matched his boss’s intimidating style perfectly!
Xie Lan’an used one of his curved blades to pry a white crystal out of the zombie’s head.
Xie Lan’an used one of his curved blades to pry a sparkling glass bead out of the zombie’s head.
?
Xie Lan’an stared at the crystal in his hand, then glanced at the zombie. He could not understand why something like this would be inside a zombie’s brain.
But this thing should be useful somehow.
Xie Lan’an put the crystal into his pocket and returned to the vehicle.
Xu Tong did not ask any questions about Xie Lan’an’s strange actions. He also got back into the vehicle, and they continued toward H City to meet up with Han Yan and Tang Yue.
Meanwhile, the trio was still wandering around the city. There were quite a few zombies roaming the streets in search of prey to fill their stomachs.
They could not act recklessly. The moment they made any noise, the zombies throughout the entire street would probably come swarming over.
Zhen Lütu, Tang Yue, and Han Yan could only communicate with each other through their eyes from time to time, but there was a major problem with that.
Tang Yue and Han Yan had been on the same team for five or six years, so their understanding of each other was naturally unmatched. But Zhen Lütu was a complete rookie who had only just joined the two of them, so she truly could not make heads or tails of their signals.
Walking behind Tang Yue and Han Yan, Zhen Lütu watched as the two of them looked toward one direction and exchanged signals, then turned toward another and gestured with their mouths.
Meanwhile, she could only wear a face full of question marks.
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
Ah, sure, sure, sure.
At that moment, Tang Yue and Han Yan had their eyes on a car parked on the street ahead. Its passenger door was open, so there was a high chance the keys were still inside, meaning they might actually be able to drive it away.
The car Zhen Lütu had been driving earlier had been completely wrecked after flipping over. However, the outskirts were still a long way from here, and walking there was practically impossible, especially with so many zombies along the way.
They could only take a risk and gamble on whether the car would start.
Tang Yue turned back toward Zhen Lütu, pointed at the car ahead, then pointed at her before pointing at herself and Han Yan. She mouthed the words:
You drive. We’ll cover you.
Zhen Lütu understood this time and gave Tang Yue an OK gesture.
Tang Yue and Han Yan exchanged a glance before charging toward several zombies wandering along the street and immediately going for headshots.
Zhen Lütu seized the opportunity and immediately ran toward the car.
