Chapter 29 Escape
Outside the ruins of Jiaocheng, a modified off-road vehicle drove into the city from the vast wilderness.

This off-road vehicle was inlaid with a large amount of steel plates, and the front bumper of the vehicle was replaced with a sharp horn, which was stained with blood and rotten meat.

Obviously, it wasn't easy for this off-road vehicle to get here.

The vehicle finally stopped at the entrance to the main road leading into Jiaocheng. The road further inside was blocked by a large number of abandoned cars, and even modified off-road vehicles could not pass.

The engine was turned off and four young men and women wearing bulletproof vests and holding guns got out of the car.

The leader was a strong man with a scar on his face, carrying a machete that was more than one meter long on his back. The remaining two men and one woman were holding assault rifles and looking nervously at the ruined city in front of them.

"Is this Jiaocheng?"

"This is already the largest ruined city around the No. 73 gathering place."

“It is said that the No. 73 gathering place once tried to take back Jiaocheng and sent more than 300 extraordinary people into Jiaocheng, but they were hunted by more than three corpse kings.

A fifth-rank warrior died in the No. 73 gathering place, and all the extraordinary warriors were killed or injured. From then on, no one dared to rashly propose a plan to conquer Jiaocheng. "

"We have only just entered the first level of transcendence, and Brother Li is a third-level expert. Can he really break into the ruins of Jiaocheng?"

The three of them were talking about it, and it was obvious that they had heard about how dangerous the ruined city was.

Only the leader Li Kang looked indifferent and said nonchalantly:
“Since I brought you here, I am sure we can get out of this safely.

I once lived outside the ruins of Jiaocheng for three years, and I knew the distribution of extraordinary zombies in the surrounding area very well.

The more zombies gather in Jiaocheng, the more likely it is that powerful extraordinary zombies will be born. However, as long as you don’t get close to the inner ring of the city, the zombies you encounter are generally below level three.

The third-level zombies and the ordinary zombies outside will not pose much threat to us. As long as we are careful to avoid being infected with zombie poison, we can easily deal with them. "

As he spoke, Li Kang strode towards the ruins of Jiaocheng. The three people behind him looked at each other, then carefully followed Li Kang.

Four people were walking in the dead silent city streets, with old and dilapidated cars piled everywhere. One of the young men looked at one of the relatively intact cars with some excitement, trying to search for something.

"Don't waste your time. Everything you can see has already been rummaged through by countless scavengers. There's no way anything valuable is left.

The real treasures in the ruined city are hidden in the buildings close to the urban area.

Those buildings that can block the sunlight are likely to be filled with zombies, so scavengers dare not approach them easily, which is why some supplies can be preserved."

When the young man heard this, his interest was immediately reduced by half.

Among the few people, the only young woman asked cautiously:

"Jiaocheng has been occupied for eleven years. Even if there are resources like food in this city, they are probably expired long ago. What are we looking for here?"

Li Kang moved a scrapped car that was blocking the road and responded casually:
"Canned food, tools, gasoline, cigarettes, alcohol. Jiaocheng is a large city with millions of people living in it. The abundance of its materials far exceeds your poor knowledge.

Some properly stored canned food, cigarettes, and alcoholic beverages can be stored for decades, and these things are what the upper class people lack the most.

The corpse poison has contaminated too much land. The remaining clean land and existing industrial conditions are already limited to feeding the survivors of the settlement. There is no extra capacity to produce other luxury goods. These luxury goods from before the apocalypse are extremely expensive. "

As they gradually went deeper into the city, Li Kang and others came to a large supermarket.

Looking up at the dead silent supermarket in front of him, Li Kang frowned.

"Brother Li, aren't we going in?"

Li Kang suddenly sneered, pointed at the supermarket in front of him and said, "Such a large supermarket should normally have at least dozens of zombies in it.

Can you believe that so many zombies can't smell us?" "There was no sound in the supermarket. It must be that the intelligent zombies noticed our presence and used some special supernatural ability to suppress the sound and deliberately lure us in!"

The two men suddenly showed a look of sudden enlightenment and praised:
"As expected of you, Brother Li."

"If it weren't for Brother Li, we would have fallen into the trap of the extraordinary zombies if we had entered rashly."

Only the woman next to her frowned. As a first-level extraordinary person, the extraordinary ability she awakened was related to life detection. She could sense that there was indeed no living thing in the supermarket.

The woman was about to speak, but when she saw the two men praising Li Kang's experienced people, she began to doubt her own detection and could only swallow her words.

The group continued to explore the surrounding area, but something unexpected happened.

Whether it was an abandoned supermarket, a shopping mall in a building, or a shop on the street, everything was dead silent.

Only one or two places could be explained by the means of extraordinary zombies, but all places looked like this, which made everyone wonder if something had happened in Jiaocheng.

Even Li Kang no longer looked relaxed as he did at the beginning, and his expression became increasingly solemn.

"How about we leave?"

The voice of the only female transcendent in the team was heard.

Li Kang remained calm and did not speak. Instead, the young man next to him retorted with an unhappy look:
"We have finally come to Jiaocheng and have consumed a lot of gasoline. Are we going to return empty-handed?"

"If we really want to leave, we have to explore a resource area before we go."

As soon as the words fell, the four of them suddenly felt the ground under their feet shaking continuously.

"what happened?"

As soon as the doubtful voice sounded, the four people saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.

At the end of the field of vision, all the zombies went against their own habits and appeared in the outside world under the scorching sun.

Tens of thousands of zombies rushed here like a wave, crossing the city streets.

Running in the front was a huge zombie that was over ten meters tall. Its tall and mighty body completely ignored the buildings in the city. The tall buildings seemed as fragile as building blocks in front of him.

His body crashed through the building, his footsteps crushed the car in front of him, and with one step he could cross a distance of dozens of meters, just like the legendary giant.

Seeing this scene, even Li Kang found it difficult to suppress the fear in his heart.

"Corpse King! It's the Corpse King!"

Only powerful zombies who command tens of thousands of zombies and have a strength of level four or above are qualified to be called zombie kings and can easily destroy a small gathering place.

They could never imagine how a mere four-man scavenging team could attract such a terrifying creature.

In front of such a powerful creature, the scavenging team didn't even dare to raise any thoughts of resistance. They could only watch as the giant corpse king rushed to them and then passed by them.

"Not for us?"

Doubts arose in Li Kang's heart, and then the voice of the female extraordinary person sounded again.

"They seem to be running for their lives."

As soon as the words fell, the entire sky darkened in an instant, and the black fog that covered the sky and the sun swallowed up everything.
