There was no Safe Zone in Yucheng, and the helicopter couldn't land anywhere else but on the roof of the Yucheng Cultural Center shopping mall. Xiao Wei, a member of the Bioterrorism Security Department, had no choice but to follow Wang Chao and the others forward. They were just one mountain away, and in three or four days, they would be able to bypass it and reach the outskirts of Yucheng. Everyone felt a surge of excitement; after two weeks of continuous walking, they finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Recently, Xiao Wei had been pestering Wang Chao with questions, all revolving around topics related to Yiyi.
"I'm a Scorpio, she's a Virgo; we have a compatibility level of ninety percent. But it seems she doesn't like my type. To be honest, Brother Wang, I think I'm quite handsome. Back in elementary school, I was the dreamboat of many girls. By the way, Brother Wang, didn't Yiyi always live with you? You must be so lucky! Just imagine..."
Wang Chao thought to himself, this kid is so young and already talking about love? However, this kid didn't resemble any Scorpio he knew; when did Scorpios become so chatty? They usually maintained a cool image. Suddenly, Wang Chao realized he had been quite talkative himself lately; it seemed he needed to keep up that aloof demeanor. "Do you know how to impress girls?" he asked.
Xiao Wei nodded eagerly. "Of course! It's simple—if she doesn't have something, I'll give it to her!"
Wang Chao was taken aback; this kid was impressive! How could such a simple statement sound so profound? For a moment, he didn't know what to say and just ruffled Xiao Wei's hair. But Xiao Wei continued asking, "Brother Wang, how many girlfriends have you had?"
Wang Chao thought, should I really admit I've been single for twenty years and only had one relationship?
"Well, there must be countless! With your charm, Brother Wang, you must have at least ten or eight," Wang Chao said seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhitao burst out laughing beside them. "I didn't see that coming!" Her eyes sparkled with amusement as she seemed to see right through Wang Chao's lie. Wang Chao awkwardly rubbed his nose and coughed twice before whispering to Xiao Wei, "Look, never marry a woman like that; otherwise, you'll end up kneeling on a washboard at home."
Although Wang Chao spoke softly, his words still reached everyone's ears. Shen Zhitao immediately pinched Wang Chao's ear, causing laughter to erupt around them. The previously tense and cold atmosphere lightened up a bit. Just then, Xiao Wei's voice turned hoarse as he said urgently, "Don't move!"
Wang Chao turned around to see Xiao Wei's brows furrowed tightly together; his features seemed twisted in distress as beads of sweat poured down his face like rain. Wang Chao knew that this was a sign that Xiao Wei's special ability had activated.
Seeing this, Shen Zhitao quickly made a stopping gesture towards the back.
The entire group halted abruptly; everyone felt a sense of panic. After all, the last time they stopped like this was when the Mourning Lions attacked humans. What could be lurking this time? The military was already on high alert, weapons ready and bullets chambered for battle.
"There are countless Zombies behind this mountain—thickly packed! There could be tens of thousands!" Xiao Wei's face was flushed as he gasped for breath; his terror was unmistakable. "How could those helicopters not see them? How could tens of thousands of Zombies gather in just one day?" Wang Chao blurted out in disbelief.
It was not impossible. Shen Zhitao rubbed her eyes, looking quite pained, and said, "The plane flies directly over the peaks, taking a different route than ours. They probably didn't see those Zombies!"
"Countless Zombies are gathered behind that mountain. If we continue on this path, we will encounter that massive wave of Zombies in less than three days. We are no match for the tens of thousands of them," Xiao Wei said, seeming to have eased up a bit. Wang Chao quickly picked him up; Xiao Wei's ability had a drawback—after using it, he felt as if he had run several thousand meters and was completely exhausted.
"We need to take a look and determine our course of action," Shen Zhitao stated.
Wang Chao then suggested, "What if we use the sound of the helicopter to draw those Zombies away?"
Shen Zhitao nodded. This plan was reported to Huangfu Ling and Old Lei. Huangfu Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Just when one wave settles, another rises. At this point, we have no choice but to proceed." The main force set up camp, and a helicopter landed in front of the Bioterrorism Security Department team. Wang Chao, Shen Zhitao, and Tang Feng boarded as the action team for this mission.
The roar of the helicopter echoed far and wide. After circling around the mountain, they were stunned by the scene before them. In the southern part of Yucheng, countless Zombies flooded the streets—it was truly an ocean of Zombies. Even from above, Wang Chao felt a surge of fear; those Zombies were packed tightly together. Due to their overwhelming numbers, their movements were slow and sluggish as they headed southward, seemingly with some purpose.
Despite the helicopter's thunderous noise being the loudest sound around, the Zombies merely looked up briefly before continuing their slow but determined march southward. Seeing this, they realized that trying to divert them with a helicopter was nothing short of a fantasy.
"Where are those Zombies going?" Wang Chao asked.
Shen Zhitao shook her head and replied, "I don't know, but it seems like they are moving with intent—as if something is summoning them."
Summoning—yes, summoning! Wang Chao had struggled to find an appropriate term to describe the behavior of these Zombies. Hearing Shen Zhitao say this felt like a revelation. But what exactly was summoning them? Where were they headed? Confusion swirled in Wang Chao's mind as he tried to make sense of it all. At that moment, Shen Zhitao added, "Those Zombies won't be influenced by external factors. However, if we keep going like this, we will inevitably encounter them sooner or later. Even if we stand still, within a week those Zombies will reach us!"
Shen Zhitao was right; although these Zombies moved slowly, they could march day and night without food or rest.
"Let's head back immediately!" Shen Zhitao instructed the pilot.
The driver sensed the urgency of the situation. Upon hearing the command, he immediately turned and flew toward the location of the camp. Wang Chao looked through the glass at the densely packed zombies below, a profound sense of crisis welling up inside him.
