Chinese agents survive in a zombie apocalypse.

Chapter 8 Survival from a narrow escape

......

Just then, an emergency announcement came over the loudspeaker in the lobby:

Attention all passengers in the baggage claim area

Please leave the lobby immediately and evacuate via the nearest exit.

This is not a drill.

Please leave the lobby immediately and evacuate via the nearest exit...

Before the broadcast had even finished, a Boeing 787 making an emergency landing was seen hurtling towards the baggage claim area at extremely high speed outside the glass curtain wall of the lobby…

Before anyone in the hall could react, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

The out-of-control passenger plane had smashed through the glass curtain wall of the terminal, plowing through the ground and breaking several thick pillars in its wake. Passengers and infected people alike were crushed in its wake...

The review team was positioned right in the path the out-of-control plane had taken.

When they saw the out-of-control airliner sweeping towards them with unstoppable force, they had almost no time to react.

The plane's wings grew larger and larger in everyone's eyes.

At the critical moment...

Li Ailun's body reacted instinctively; he suddenly pounced on Susan and pinned her down with his body.

The two had just landed when they felt a darkness overhead as the plane's wing swept across them.

Every second counts, life and death hang by a thread.

Others were not so lucky.

Before Dr. Jonathan and Dr. Sam could react, they were struck by the wing and thrown off by the massive impact, with almost no chance of survival.

The safety officer, Jay, who instinctively tried to duck and take cover, was a fraction too slow and had his neck broken by the wing, dying instantly.

Dr. Sato, who was running at the very front, was closest to the plane's engine. He was sucked into the smoking engine and instantly turned into a cloud of blood and flesh.

What goes around comes around.

……

When Li Ailun looked up, the hall was filled with smoke and dust, and the out-of-control passenger plane, which had stopped taxiing, was emitting sparks and thick smoke everywhere.

There were also infected people staggering out of the cabin through a gap in the passenger plane.

"Damn Americans! The cancer of the world!"

I hate America! It's hell!

"Damn you, Andrei, why did you send me to America? I hate you..."

Dr. Chekhov nearly collapsed, collapsing to the ground and cursing, behaving nothing like a refined intellectual.

He was also saved only because Mion tackled him to the ground in time.

"Susan, are you alright?"

Li Ailun lowered his head to ask.

Susan, who was pinned down by him, was still in a daze, her mind blank.

After regaining her senses, Susan realized that she was in pain all over her body. She fought back the tears welling in her eyes and said in a trembling voice:

"I...I'm...okay."

At this moment, Li Ailun saw another infected person approaching them from a distance, so he quickly got up and pulled her up from the ground.

Susan helped Li Ailun to her feet, but the pain in her knees almost made her squat down again. She had clearly taken a hard fall, but thankfully Li Ailun was there to support her, and she managed to stand up.

“Ugh…Ugh…”

After witnessing the horrific scene, Susan couldn't help but gag; she had never faced such a gruesome sight before.

The ground was littered with all sorts of collapsed debris, junk, and human remains, scattered and unrecognizable as human figures—a truly horrific sight…

Li Ailun saw that Susan had many bruises and scrapes on her body, but he didn't know what to do about it.

"Can we go?"

Li Ailun patiently asked her.

If Susan can't walk, they'll be in big trouble.

When Susan heard Li Ailun's question, she barely stopped gagging, clutching her chest with one hand, her face still deathly pale.

"Yes... yes."

She nodded repeatedly in response, indicating that she had no problem.

Susan was well aware of her current situation. Because she was afraid that Li Ailun would abandon her, she kept one hand tightly gripping his clothes and dared not let go.

Although Li Ailun was a security officer on the review team and responsible for the safety of these experts, she understood that she had to make sure she didn't hold them back.

The fates of the other experts on the review panel are still fresh in our minds.

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you."

Li Ailun noticed her nervousness and fear, and offered words of comfort.

"Thank you, thank you."

Susan looked at his resolute face and was somewhat moved, feeling a little more at ease.

"Allen, what do we do now?"

Meanwhile, Mion brought over Dr. Chekhov, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, to join them.

They had teamed up for other missions before, and Li Ailun was of a higher rank than him. Li Ailun was also in charge of this mission, so Miang habitually waited for Li Ailun to make a decision.

Li Ailun quickly assessed the situation and saw that several safe passages were quite far from them, and there were many infected people along the routes, so he had no choice but to abandon his plan to evacuate through the safe passages.

Moreover, the situation on the other side of the safe passage is unclear and may not be safe. They may have just escaped one danger only to fall into another. They currently have no weapons and are simply unable to deal with the large number of infected people.

He turned his head and saw that the direction the plane had crashed into had left a huge gap in the glass curtain wall, outside of which was the airport runway and the vast open space.

Moreover, because the plane plowed through the land, that direction was cleared of both living people and infected individuals, making it a decent path to survival.

"Go this way."

Li Ailun pointed in the direction of the gap, then grabbed Susan and ran.

Mion and Dr. Chekhov quickly followed.

Some surviving passengers noticed the movements of Li Ailun and his three companions, and some were tempted to join them so they could huddle together for warmth.

But they either hesitated because of the distance or because the road ahead was blocked by infected people.

Should we go over there?

Someone asked their companion.

"No, let's wait until they lure the monster away, then we'll be safe."

Some people, on the other hand, harbored the mentality of letting Li Ailun and his group attract the infected so that they could hide in the back and survive.

……

"Ho...ho..."

Li Ailun and his group hadn't run far when they encountered an infected person blocking their way. They saw a lame infected person who had luckily escaped being run over by a plane, staggering and limping towards them.

As he rushed forward, Li Ailun kicked out with all his might, sending the lame infected man flying several meters before he crashed heavily to the ground, struggling to get up.

Li Ailun and his group had already run far away.

......

Li Ailun suddenly saw a severed arm on the ground, with a pistol tightly clutched in its hand, clearly belonging to some unlucky airport security guard.

He bent down, picked up the severed arm, pried open the tightly clenched fingers, took the pistol, casually tossed the severed arm aside, then pulled out the magazine and saw that there were 5 bullets left.

Miang and Dr. Chekhov also saw that Lee Allen had picked up the pistol, and both of them were very envious.

Having a gun in hand at this time provides an undeniable sense of security. Although they were envious, they didn't say anything, since the pistol was already in Li Ailun's hands.

They also began to pay attention to the ground, hoping to find suitable weapons for self-defense.

Miang saw a titanium telescopic railing lying on the ground, the kind with warning tape. He picked it up and waved it around a few times; it was quite easy for him to handle.

Chekhov, on the other hand, was carrying a metal barricade used at the airport to direct crowds. Although the barricade was rather bulky, the cool stainless steel frame still gave him a sense of security.

As for Susan, she couldn't find a suitable weapon. They were either too small to provide any protection or too heavy for her to lift. She could only pick up a sharp piece of rock for self-defense, but it served more as a way to comfort herself.

By this time, the infected people catching up from behind were very close, so they had to stop and deal with the trouble around them first.

To conserve bullets, Li Ailun chose not to fire but instead bravely faced the onrushing infected.

Faced with the ferocious infected rushing towards him, Li Ailun suddenly leaned his body and delivered a high roundhouse kick to the head, breaking its neck. He then followed up with a spinning kick, knocking down another infected that was following closely behind.

They didn't give the infected person a chance to get close; their movements were clean and efficient, without any fancy tricks.
