...Atlanta.

The horde of corpses wandered back and forth in the streets, like lost souls, their actions entirely driven by instinct.

Rick and Glenn mingled among the horde of zombies, slowly and unsteadily moving forward. The zombies had long since accepted them as one of their own and were completely unaware that two outcasts had infiltrated the "masses."

They had already covered more than half the distance and were very close to the parking lot. Both of them couldn't help but feel excited, as they were only one step away from success.

"It actually works! I can't believe it."

Glenn was deeply moved and whispered excitedly.

"Don't speak, keep pretending."

Rick lowered his voice and reminded him.

Even though they had only whispered a few words, a male zombie had already set its sights on them.

The walker came closer and stared intently at Glenn, who was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe and his heart was in his throat. Fortunately, the walker only stared at him for a few seconds before turning away.

Glenn secretly breathed a sigh of relief and dared not be complacent again.

……

"We're almost there, there's still a chance..."

Susan realized that their destination was the parking lot behind the iron gate and silently cheered them on.

Tick-tock...tick-tock...

Suddenly, she felt raindrops hitting her hand. She reached out to catch them, and the raindrops continued to fall onto her palm, becoming more and more frequent.

The rain finally came, and it came quickly and heavily, soaking the ground completely in the blink of an eye, forming a thin layer of puddles.

"It's over..."

Susan felt sorry for them; the rain really came at the worst possible time.

Li Ailun also looked up at the sky, letting the rain fall on his face. He saw that the rain cloud overhead was still moving quickly, and he estimated that the rain wouldn't last long.

"This rain shouldn't last long; it all depends on their luck."

As he spoke, Li Ailun raised the binoculars again to look. This was a rare opportunity for them to observe whether the rain would affect the walkers.

Let's also see if those two unlucky guys on the street manage to get away safely...

......

"Ho...ho..."

In just two minutes, the rain washed away the blood and flesh of the zombies on Rick and Glenn's bodies. The zombies around them seemed to have smelled something and gradually gathered around them, their not-so-bright eyes staring at them intently.

The two had no choice but to press on, clinging to a sliver of hope. They decided to remain still as long as the zombies showed no signs of aggression; they couldn't afford to panic.

"...Was the smell of the zombies washed away by the rain?"

However, as more and more zombies surrounded them, Glenn realized the situation was turning bad and couldn't help but ask nervously.

"No, perhaps..."

Rick tried to comfort him, but things were getting increasingly strange, and he himself wasn't quite sure what he was doing, before he could even finish what he was saying.

"Ho...ho..."

Finally, the first zombie couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly roared as it pounced on the two of them.

Rick, who had been on tenterhooks, was the first to react. He turned around and swung his axe down, striking the walker squarely in the head with a crack. Black blood splattered out, and the walker's body immediately collapsed into the puddles on the ground.

He then turned and beckoned to Glenn:

"Run!"

The two quickly ran towards the parking lot.

Rick's shout immediately detonated the horde of zombies.

"Ho...ho..."

The zombies behind them immediately went berserk, relentlessly pursuing the two, while more zombies surrounded them from the front, making the situation extremely critical...

In life-or-death situations, Rick and Glenn both unleashed astonishing combat potential, killing any walkers blocking their path with a single, swift blow.

They ran and killed their way through the horde of corpses, carving a path to survival.

......

[Hurry, hurry, hurry...]

Susan looked at the two people fighting downstairs and seemed even more nervous, and she felt a pang of anxiety for them.

"Tsk, these two are pretty good at fighting."

Li Ailun also saw the two people hacking and slashing through the horde of zombies and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The two were not only bold and meticulous, but also exceptionally skilled. No wonder they dared to operate in a city full of zombies. This piqued Li Ailun's interest in this group.

However, even if they wanted to help, it was beyond their reach at that time.

Fortunately, they soon arrived at the end of the street without any major incident, and the two quickly climbed over the iron gate and entered the parking lot.

Before Li Ailun and Susan could even be happy for the two for a few seconds, they witnessed a scene that shocked them.

A large horde of zombies had surrounded the iron gate on the street. They had all thought that the iron gate would at least temporarily stop the zombies.

But the next second, the walkers' actions shattered their expectations. Many of them began climbing up the metal mesh gate, attempting to scale it into the parking lot...

Li Ailun's pupils shrank upon seeing this, and the scene before them gave them a deeper understanding of the walking corpses' mobility.

Bang... Bang... Bang...

Gunshots rang out continuously from the parking lot, and the zombies that had climbed onto the iron gate fell to the ground one after another.

However, that flimsy iron mesh door was only good for keeping honest people out, not scoundrels, and couldn't hold off the horde of zombies for long.

Sure enough, in just a few minutes, the two iron mesh doors collapsed under the shoving of hundreds of zombies, and then the horde of zombies rushed in...

"...They ran away on their own?"

Just as Susan was holding her breath for them, she saw the truck turn around and speed away from the city outskirts without hesitation, seemingly abandoning its companions left in the building.

"This must be the end of the world."

Li Ailun said calmly.

It seems there's no need to contact this group anymore. Let's find an opportunity to leave the city and head straight to the CDC.

Are all people like this in the apocalypse?

Susan frowned slightly as she watched the truck disappear into the distance, its silhouette no longer visible. She couldn't shake the feeling of unease.

This result disappointed her and made her feel lost about the future.

Do you think they'll come back?

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly turned to Li Ailun and asked:

Hmm... I don't think so.

When faced with Susan's question, Li Ailun paused for a moment before answering.

Having fought on the dark front for a long time, he was used to judging human nature with the utmost malice, especially in the current state of affairs.

"I think they will definitely come back."

Susan said with certainty.

She was no longer confused. Looking at Li Ailun, she revealed a sly smile, and her beautiful eyes sparkled.

"Would you like to make a bet?"

"No gambling."

Li Ailun immediately refused.

"It's a bet; the loser has to unconditionally grant the other person one request!"

"...Playing this high?"

Li Ailun looked at her in surprise, seeing her expectant expression, as if she was confident of victory.

Looking at Susan's short hair, wet with rain, and with raindrops still clinging to her face, she resembled a lotus emerging from water, and he suddenly smiled meaningfully and asked:

"Any request is acceptable?"

"I'll accept...any request...anything, are you in?"

Susan blushed under his gaze, but confident in her judgment, she challenged him with a provocative remark.
