Because they had been delayed for a while, they were now lagging at the back. Fearing being left behind, the young man drove incredibly fast. Luckily, the performance of the vehicle was good, and since Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin hadn’t been ruthless, keeping their speed moderate, the young man was able to catch up quickly.
Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin, leading the convoy, noticed their approach, exchanged glances, and sped up. Seeing this, everyone else also quickened their pace.
In the car, each person’s thoughts were different. Those who were not infected by the Zombie Virus felt a deep sympathy for the two unfortunate infected individuals. Although sharing food hadn’t sat well with them, the thought of two vibrant lives fading away—those infected being their acquaintances or even companions—couldn’t help but move them.
Being suddenly killed by zombies would have been one thing—just a momentary event, which, however unacceptable, had already happened, and brooding on it was useless. But infection with the Zombie Virus was different; it was sheer torture!
The infected would slowly feel the ebb of life, as would everyone else. Such agony was torture for most people. Even if they didn’t experience it firsthand, just the thought of someone dying was excruciatingly painful.
At the same time, there was a pervasive sense of immense relief. They hadn’t been injured by zombies, spared from enduring such pain.
That was the case for everyone, not to mention those who had witnessed it all.
The young man rejected by Yuxin watched his Aunt convulse painfully on the seat through the rearview mirror, and felt intense sorrow. He bit his lip hard, tears streaming out, yet he dared not cry out loud.
By now, he realized his rashness. To survive, he had no choice but to follow the car ahead closely. He was acutely aware that getting left behind could very likely lead to only one path—death!
In another car, a grandfather and grandson sitting in the front were also anxiously gazing at the rearview mirror.
The man appeared to be in extreme pain!
Both felt that such pain was beyond human endurance, but the man was enduring it—enduring it to avoid waking his daughter, he even dared not make a move!
What a terrifying willpower!
They couldn’t help but hold him in high esteem. After hesitating for a while, the elder softly said, "Brother Liu, rest assured... if something happens to you... we’ll definitely take care of your daughter."
Upon hearing this, the man’s eyes curved slightly in gratitude, but with a towel in his mouth, he couldn’t speak; he had to let it go.
In fact, he had already noticed his body growing stronger bit by bit, and although the process was very painful, he sensed a special and unfamiliar Energy.
