Dream Travel

Chapter 11 The Five Escapers

"Damn this thing!" The gambler angrily banged the steering wheel with a look of impatience on his face.

It took less than two days for the seven wealthy men to go from being initially complacent to being in a state of panic.

During this period, they looted any jewelry store and gold shop they saw. Even if some confidential boxes could not be opened, the gold scattered outside still allowed them to obtain a large amount of hard currency.

If they could bring these things back, they could go to the upper town and live the life of the rich when they returned to Rota.

As for the source of this money? No one can trace it, so who would care? Perhaps the tax bureau would care?
The seven wealthy men, all of whom made a fortune, encountered an accident during their recent operation. It was normal for one of them to be bitten.

The thing that is most abundant in the city is moving corpses. In addition to those that are moving in the open, there are also many animals that are hibernating, hiding in some dark corners.

They will become active when they are too hungry to maintain a low energy consumption state, and hungry zombies will appear more dangerous. Their reaction time is faster than normal zombies, and their explosive power is stronger. Although the maintenance time is short, do zombies need endurance to infect people?

Just a moment is enough. If they can't bite people to death, they will most likely be killed by the angry humans.

Then the blood-mad humans became new zombies because of the virus.

This process takes about two hours. During this period, the infected person will not be weak, but will appear very excited and impulsive.

This reason made the Seven Fortunes become a group of five people.

The people injured by the zombies couldn't stand the looks of others, and they were holding dangerous weapons. If the gambler hadn't reacted quickly and killed the other person directly, that person would have shot them.

Even so, they still lost two people, which calmed down the seven wealthy people who had become a group of five. They had already obtained enough wealth and had to leave the city quickly.

The longer you stay here, the higher the chances of accidents.

There are tens of thousands of zombies in the city, but they have to avoid any wounds on their bodies. Even a slight abrasion will put them in an AIDS werewolf killing environment. Everyone is afraid and has to behave themselves.

The jewellery and gold they carried also slowed them down.

Some of the five people who escaped had a good idea. They found a shopping cart in the supermarket and used it as a tool to reduce the burden. Even so, based on the city's reference points, it would take them a long time to reach the rendezvous point.

The road is not a straight line, not to mention that there are zombies chasing and blocking on the road. The zombies move slowly but ignore fatigue.

The five-member escape team moved slowly, and the zombies were always following them slowly. If they were not careful, they would get close to the dangerous distance. They shot and killed the zombies, and the gunshots attracted more zombies.

If you run too slowly, the streets will be blocked.

Even if they moved faster, they couldn't get rid of these zombies. After getting rid of the zombies in one area, the zombies in another area were still extremely enthusiastic towards them.

As night falls, in the pitch-black environment, zombies can move around with ease, but it is more difficult for them to detect those zombies who are hiding and seeking. The danger level increases significantly compared to daytime.

After trying it once, the five escaping group no longer dared to take any unnecessary actions at night.

In the evening, they also have to find a safe house to hide.

The reduction in personnel, the consumption of ammunition, and the pressure of facing zombies while on the road made the five-member escape team want to make the cars that can be seen everywhere on the road run.

What makes them feel fortunate is that there is no shortage of food in this city, including bottled water, food sealed in bags, etc. Everything in this city is free.

"Keep your voice down." Someone patted the gambler in dissatisfaction. By now, they had some understanding of such cars.

Generally speaking, anyone with a key can start their car. When the biochemical crisis broke out, many people abandoned their cars due to traffic jams, leaving their car keys behind. The problem was how to start the car. The sound of the car starting is very irritating to zombies. When the car starts, the zombies feel like they hear the sound of a can of wild food falling to the ground.

"The corpses are surrounding us!"

The gambler cursed and kicked the car door open: "Don't waste time on this broken thing, let's use something else!"

Since I can't drive a car, I might as well use a bicycle instead. They all have wheels anyway.

The others looked at the angry gambler, not knowing what to say. At least the gambler could make the car twitch, but as for them... it was hard to describe.

They are all people who make a living in the downtown area and have never touched a car. If they lived in the upper city, they would have the opportunity to drive for the rich.

"Have you noticed that there are more and more zombies surrounding us?" After the five-member escape team broke out of the block, the gambler looked at the zombies in the distance and expressed his suspicion that was not an illusion.

"Compared to this, we haven't encountered any other survivors yet. Is there no one left alive in this city?"

Another member of the escaping five was irritated. With so many cars in this city, that meant everyone here was pretty skilled at it, right? If they could find one or two survivors, they wouldn't be so passive.

"Who knows what kind of abnormal 'dream' this is!" The gambler picked up a bicycle. This thing was much simpler than a four-wheeled one. Once you got familiar with it, you could make it run, and it was much faster than using your legs.

"Let's use this thing from now on. We don't have much time left. If we can hold on, we'll all be rich."

Gamblers encourage others.

"Actually, I was wondering what that kind of car would be like. Although it's a little different from the ones used by the mounted police, but..." Someone pointed to the overturned motorcycle on the side of the road.

"Don't think about using unfamiliar things. We have wasted too much time on this. Use the simplest one." The gambler breathed a sigh of relief and gave up the unrealistic idea as soon as possible. It would take a long time to reach the connection point using a bicycle.

The other members of the five who escaped thought it made sense. They were all rich people and should not waste their lives in a dangerous environment.

It’s just a bicycle, being able to escape is better than anything else.

"Have you noticed that the number of zombies seems to be increasing?" The gunman Eller sitting in the passenger seat reminded.

They were clearly constantly clearing out the zombies, but the number of zombies never decreased.

"Zombies have excellent hearing. They will gradually converge towards the source of the sound. Even if the sound disappears, they will instinctively return to the area where the sound originated."

Wilfer explained why.

Matt thought about what they had done along the way, using bombs and guns to clear out the zombies. There were no living people in the city, and they became the sound source makers here, the center of the moving vortex. The zombies attracted by the sound would slowly approach.

Matt quickly put the matter behind him.

Life in the future will still be beautiful, because the zombies that instinctively gather following the sound are just some obstacles on their way to a better life.

Wilfer told them a lot of places suitable for rich people to live. Matt and others had never heard of those places, but that did not affect their learning about them.

The world in the dream is much better than their world. Not only that, Wilfer also hinted to them that the research materials he brought are very valuable.

If they can join forces to become bigger and stronger, there will definitely be a lot of small countries willing to spend a lot of money to buy this "cheap" "poor man's nuclear bomb", and many organizations will not be stingy with their wallets!
