Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 354 I Like Big Ones Too
When Mike realized that the piercing alarm didn't attract even one zombie, he was shocked. Since the apocalypse, a large number of zombies had poured into their city, with all kinds of skin, and in astonishing numbers.
This country has many zombie movies; in fact, the first zombie movie was filmed in this country. It can be said that they defined the laws of zombies.
Therefore, people who have seen so many movies have a certain adaptability to the apocalypse. Although many people were bitten to death by zombies and subsequently turned into zombies, most survived.
Soon, they realized that there were too many zombies around them, and judging by their clothes and skin, many weren't from their city at all. There were even some with painted faces and feathers in their hair—were these from a film crew?
It can be said that this apocalypse has definitely increased the difficulty for this city. Even survivors who avoided the initial chaos by using their experience in the film industry were all trapped somewhere.
There were too many zombies outside; no one dared to go out. Although it was impossible for enhanced zombies to appear when the apocalypse had just arrived, even just two or three of these fast-running zombies, more agile than humans, were more than an ordinary person could handle.
Fortunately, civilians in this country are allowed to own guns, which gave them a great advantage in the apocalypse. After all, zombies can't outrun bullets, no matter how fast they run.
However, civilian guns can't have silencers, and everyone knows that sound attracts zombies. Every movie repeats this characteristic of zombies tirelessly.
After a few days, the survivors of this city finally discovered that the sewers seemed to be their sanctuary. So, countless people began to enter the sewers in various ways and slowly gathered there.
Of course, not everyone could concentrate together. They just gathered nearby, in groups of a dozen or so, or several dozen at most. Any more would be too crowded in the sewers.
Subsequently, these survivors gradually adapted to the apocalypse, slowly observed, and slowly eliminated each other, eventually accepting this doomsday. They quickly discovered that the number of zombies was decreasing, but their speed and strength seemed to be increasing. There even appeared many zombies of different shapes—enhanced zombies!
In the following days, the survivors of this city were suppressed by the enhanced zombies. Faced with these enhanced zombies that were either immensely strong, extremely fast, or simply indestructible, the survivors suffered heavy losses, and their numbers plummeted.
Mike had persevered under these circumstances. After the appearance of the enhanced zombies, he lived in constant fear every day. He didn't even dare to speak loudly in his dreams; even snoring could startle him awake.
Having personally witnessed many companions and comrades die at the hands of enhanced zombies, Mike was quite clear about their characteristics. He knew that according to the decibels of a sports car alarm, the enhanced zombies from a dozen or so blocks around would be attracted.
And now, they didn't appear. What did that mean?
Mike was a little unsure because happiness had come too suddenly.
"Let's go! Head out of the city!"
After waiting for a few minutes and seeing no zombies appear, Li Chenzhou returned to the SUV, opened the car door, got in, and said calmly to Grey Bear. At the same time, he looked at Mike, who was in the back seat, with a look of ecstasy and disbelief on his face.
Grey Bear also glanced at Mike but didn't say anything. Anyway, Mike had already pointed out the direction, so they just had to keep going in that direction.
"My God! Are you saviors? Why did the zombies disappear after you appeared?"
A full four or five minutes later, Mike finally recovered. He grabbed the back of the front seat and shouted.
"Mike! To be honest, it's quite strange that we came here too. We can't even explain it ourselves. Besides, why the zombies here disappeared, I don't think it has much to do with us!"
This time, Li Chenzhou didn't need to speak. Grey Bear answered directly. After all, if Li Chenzhou wanted to say anything, Grey Bear would have to translate it. Besides, they both came from the same place, so Grey Bear could understand some things. He looked at Mike in the rearview mirror and said:
"So, whether these zombies have disappeared or hidden for some reason, we're not sure. Anyway, it's still night. We'll go to the town you mentioned first and see what the situation is there. We'll go into the city tomorrow at dawn to see what's going on!"
"Okay!"
Mike nodded immediately. Grey Bear was right. This was the apocalypse, and even zombies had appeared, so anything was possible. Even Grey Bear and his companion instantly crossing half the planet to come to their city was something Mike and the others could barely accept.
Soon, they left the city and drove onto a wide highway. The highways in this country are different from those in China. Because of the small population, there are basically no traffic jams except in the downtown areas of some prosperous metropolises. Therefore, there are relatively few expressways. Most of the roads connecting cities are the kind without fences, a bit like provincial roads, or even worse than provincial roads, because there are no guardrails in the middle of the road.
The town Mike mentioned was actually very close to the city, only about five kilometers away, so they arrived in two minutes. Just as Mike said, the scale here wasn't even that of a town, let alone a village. It was just a dozen or so houses scattered on both sides of the road.
These houses were not simply residences; they all had their own functions, such as repair shops, taverns, gas stations, and other functional facilities.
There wasn't a single person in the town, nor were there any zombies. Grey Bear calmly drove the car into the middle of the town and stopped in the middle of the road.
Entering this kind of place, Grey Bear felt no pressure at all. The buildings here were far apart and built on both sides of the road, so it was accessible in all directions. There was no need to worry about being surrounded.
Moreover, with the scale of these dozen or so buildings, even if they were all full of zombies and they all rushed out at the same time, he and Li Chenzhou were confident that they could kill them all.
"Get out of the car! Take a look around first!"
After stopping the car, Li Chenzhou opened the door and got out, saying as he did so.
"Let's go, Mike! Go see if your Mary is still there. Honestly, I also like big butts; they say they're good for bearing children!"
Grey Bear also got out of the car, looked around, reached out and knocked on Mike's car window, and then walked towards the small tavern on the left…
