Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus was das.h.i.+ng all the way unperturbed as the continuous battle had made all the mutant zombies and beasts to flee. Occasionally, a few mindless zombies would rush toward the minibus, but it would either leave them far behind or pulverize them.

After a while, the outline of the Xiayuan Safety Zone appeared in their field of vision. The first thing Jiang Lius.h.i.+ started to observe was the quarantine area. At first glance, it seemed the same as before, but the personnel and number of firearms had significantly increased. Not to mention that the officers' expressions were quite serious.

"They probably increased the security here because a large number of soldiers has been sent to the beast nest," Sun Kun said reluctantly, but even he could not believe his own words.

The atmosphere was kind of strange. As they approached, Zhang Hai opened the window and gave the soldier their team's name. Following that, the soldier went to his superior officer to report, and soon, he came back. However, he said in a stiff tone, "Temporarily, n.o.body is allowed to enter the Safe Area."

Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s heart sank when he heard that as it seemed that the situation was way worse than they had imagined. The fact that n.o.body was allowed to enter meant that something was wrong inside.

"We have to enter. Our team has the right to stay in the security zone. Will you really let us stay out at night? It's really cold!" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ complained.

"It is an order," the soldier frowned as paranormals could easily adapt to the weather's changes, and then he said coldly.

Seeing that the soldier had no intention to let them in, Li Yuxin opened the window and said worriedly, "What happened? My mother and grandfather are both scientists. If there's something wrong, you have to let us in and rescue them. You can't stop us…"

The soldier hesitated for a moment and then replied, "No, it's an order. n.o.body is allowed to enter. You should wait outside."

"How-" Li Yuxin still wanted to say something, but the soldier had already turned and walked to his post. Ran Xiyu took Li Yuxin's hand, placating her all the time.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ remained silent while observing the quarantine gates and a.n.a.lyzing the fighting power as well as the possibility of rus.h.i.+ng in. As a large-scale safe area, Xiayuan's defensive power was better than that of Shenhai Island. All patrol soldiers carried automatic rifles, but the soldiers standing near the quarantine gates did not carry weapons. On the walls of the city, countless guns were aimed directly at them, not to mention the steel doors were closed tightly.

'Boom!'

A harsh roar from an engine and tire friction sound came. And three all-refitted heavy trucks approached the gate. Two of them surrounded Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus from left and right directly. Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus looked small and weak before those trucks and seemed as if it could be flattened easily.

Everyone in Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s team felt slightly tense.

"They are the ones who have been following us," said Ran Xiyu.

Concurrently, the right window of one of the heavy trucks was rolled down, and a long-haired woman appeared.

"Excellent! You indeed run fast. Were it not for the snow, I thought we'd never catch you," the long-haired woman said. Although Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus was driven extremely fast, it was slower than usual because of the snow.

"It's you again," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said, but he didn't expect that woman to be the driver.

"How did you know that Commander w.a.n.g was experiencing a mutation?" The woman asked suddenly. At that time, she and her subordinates were standing at the forefront. When Jiang Lius.h.i.+ shouted, she didn't know what had happened, but later she witnessed that terrible scene.

When everyone's attention was focused on Commander w.a.n.g, she was staring at Jiang Lius.h.i.+, so she had seen right away that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had turned to run away without any hesitation. As a result, she ordered two of her members to go and inform the rest of the Fierce Tiger's members, while she chased after Jiang Lius.h.i.+.

"At this point, the town should have turned to a meat grinder. It's indeed a tragic event. However, n.o.body detected the problem except for you!" The woman added. She believed that all of the Fierce Tiger's members had escaped safely, so she was not worried about them

them at all. What she truly wanted was to know how Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had noticed that something was wrong.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ glanced at her. Not to mention that Sta.r.s.eed had notified him, he had no obligation to tell that woman anything.

"Don't stop your cars here!" A soldier came approached and warned loudly.

'D dada!'

At that moment, a sudden gunshot came from within the security zone! Obviously, the gunshot was not far from where they were!

That soldier was shocked, and he turned to look immediately.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ noticed that all the officers showed a nervous and dignified look. Undoubtedly, the security zone's defenses were seriously lacking.

"Lead two squads in to support. We must control the scope of the danger!" An officer ordered. After that, two patrolling squads immediately jumped into the military armored vehicles. Then, the quarantine gates were slowly opened with heavy noise and three armored vehicles entered.

"What happened inside?" That woman asked while looking at Jiang Lius.h.i.+, "Well, where do you-"

Just at that moment, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ shouted, "Ying, rus.h.!.+"

'Om!'

Ying slammed down the throttle and activated the Accelerate function, so Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus rushed out just like a released arrow. Leaving sharp friction sounds, it rushed out directly from the two heavy trucks toward that opened quarantine gate!

The sudden scene not only shocked that long-haired woman but also stunned the soldiers who were on guard. n.o.body had dared to do something like this until now. But no one dared to stop the minibus. On the contrary, the people in front of them were frightened and ran even further.

"Shoot!" roared an officer.

They had the right to shot anyone who rushed to the entrance directly. And then, a hailstorm of bullets struck Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus, but without penetrating its alloy exterior or breaking its gla.s.s; one could only see web-like patterns on the gla.s.s. Even the tires were bullet-proof!

In the blink of an eye, the minibus had whistled into the open quarantine gate- it was too late to be closed.

That officer was furious. He rushed to the door and looked inside. He found that minibus had already turned into another street and soon disappeared into the corner. "Notify the district patrols and guards immediately. Attack the minibus on first sight!" ordered the officer.

The soldier who was responsible for pa.s.sing the order had just run toward the guard post, but another soldier ran out of it.

"How is the situation in Area A now?" The officer asked quickly.

"It's not very good, but I'm not sure about the specifics," the soldier reported.

"Why?" The officer asked again.

"The comrade who talked with me was under attack," The soldier said worriedly.

Even guard soldiers had been attacked, how about other people in Area A?

There were hundreds of thousands of survivors in the whole Xiayuan area. Once the situation was completely out of control, ordinary survivors could simply not stop those who were suddenly infected. The establishment of those quarantine doors was to screen out people who were likely to be infected, preventing the virus from entering the security zone. But during this period of time, they hadn't found any problems. Everyone thought that the zombies were kept outside the safe area. No one expected that infected survivors would appear inside. For them, they didn't have any time to care about the minibus. Their most important task was to control the whole situation. Fortunately, the most affected were now only in Area A, but at the same time, unfortunately, all the experts, professors, and scientists who had been greatly protected and transferred by the government were in Area A…

Outside the quarantine gate, the long-haired woman still astounded but the earlier scene. "Are they crazy? How could they rush in?" The long-haired woman didn't get an answer, so she hesitated.

She clearly knew that they couldn't follow Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus. Moreover, after Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus dashed inside, all the guns were aimed at them. Actually, her team had involuntarily protected Jiang Lius.h.i.+.

"An accident happened in the Xiayuan Security Area...I don't know if there is any trouble in the Xiawu Base. Let's go!" Soon, the long-haired woman made her decision and left.

Inside the safety area, all the survivors had returned to their houses. The road was clear, which was quite convenient for Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus. The direction of that gunfire was not far from them, but Jiang Lius.h.i.+ did not intend to join the fray.

Actually, they all noticed some unusual things. Obviously, the whole security area was in an alerted state, but the news of Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus rus.h.i.+ng inside was not circulated to all military squads. Although some soldiers had seen the minibus, none of them had stopped and inquired about their ident.i.ties.

However, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ knew that since they had entered, they would undoubtedly be stopped at some point.

"We'll go around." When they detoured, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ vaguely saw an unexpected scene. An infected person was leaping high, and then he was killed!

Judging from the situation, there should be a group of infected survivors. Moreover, the direction was precisely where Area A was located. The ominous feeling in Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s heart was getting stronger and stronger. No matter whether Area A was isolated from the ordinary safe area or not, infected people had already broken through the defenses and come outside. Even if at last all the infected people were killed, it was estimated that the losses would be severe.

"We'll go straight to Area A!" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ ordered. And then his minibus was driven toward Area A. Farther away, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had heard ten times more fierce gunfire than before, and he had seen a large number of soldiers. Some of the original fences had been torn. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ estimated that those who rushed out had drilled their way out from there. Some blood and dead bodies could be seen on the ground.

Smelling the pungent smell of smoke, Li Yuxin's body started shaking slightly.
