Facing the two zombies directly in front of him, Tang Jiumin immediately put away his shotgun, popped out his arm knife and quickly dealt with them.

And E Sihui also picked up the saber and fought side by side with Tang Jiumin.

For a time, the two set up a second line of defense, cleaning up the fish that had slipped through the net, and preventing the zombies from getting closer.

The newcomers at the back were panicked and hesitant at first when they saw such a dangerous situation, but they quickly came to their senses and their hit rate greatly improved.

The whole process was uneventful.

In less than half a minute, just like the platform, the zombies on the first floor were quickly cleared away by everyone.

Racing against time, not daring to pause at all, everyone rushed through the blank area and entered a passage along the route planned by Tang Jiumin.

Soon, after climbing up a few steps again, they finally came to the surface from the subway station.

It's finally out.

It was obviously less than an hour after the trial started, but everyone felt as if they were in another world.

Looking up, the sky was cloudless, and even the haze that had been weighing on everyone's minds had dissipated.

However, when they saw their surroundings, this relaxed illusion immediately disappeared.

There was a wide three-lane road in front of him, but it was dotted with abandoned vehicles, some of which were still steaming. It looked like they had even been involved in a car accident before they were abandoned.

Tang Jiumin looked at the steaming car and the dead driver lying on the steering wheel. It was almost instantly determined that the zombie virus had occurred in the entire city at the same time.

On both sides of the crowd, there is a large park on each side. Because each of these two parks has a bronze horse, it is also called the Double Horse Park.

Tang Jiumin didn't waste any time. After briefly confirming the surrounding situation, he led a group of people to leave to the right.

Because in the previous plan, the first thing they did after coming out was to walk through the park, so as to prevent them from attracting the attention of more zombies.

The group of people had no objections, but there were still zombies behind them, so they set off immediately.

As soon as they entered the park, they saw several zombies wandering around.

However, as Tang Jiumin expected, these zombies were all transformed by the elderly.

Their bodies before death determine how quickly they become zombies.

At this time, these 'aunts and uncles' were almost moving on the ground. Facing the people moving towards them, they barely took a step except stretching out their hands.

"Ignore them, there is no threat, keep walking." Before Liu Ziyun could ask, Tang Jiumin had already taken out his cell phone, opened the map, and with a few words, he urged everyone to follow.

This time, there was no longer any hesitation, everyone chose to follow.

The successful judgment brought enough trust. From the subway to the park, unknowingly, the newcomers began to trust Tang Jiumin's orders more and more.

Normal people are much faster than the elderly, not to mention that everyone deliberately speeds up when the park is flat and there are almost no obstacles.

It didn't take long for them to distance themselves from the elderly zombies behind them, and the distance was growing.

Things are looking good.

There were gasps in the team, some deliberately lowered their voices, and some couldn't help it anymore, so loud that it was hard to ignore.

Tang Jiumin paused and slowed down his progress. Behind him, the speed of everyone also slowed down.

He turned around and scanned around quickly.

Behind him, the newcomers' faces were all flushed, and the physiological reactions caused by the exhaustion of physical strength were directly reflected on their faces.

"Okay, there is an open space ahead through the flower garden. It is in the open area. Let's take a rest there."

At the front of the crowd, Tang Jiumin frowned a little because he had not planned to rest so soon in his original plan, but the newcomers were different from them.

They had no reinforcements, no training time, and were just a bunch of unprepared civilians.

Not to mention compared to Liu Ziyun, even compared to Cheng Zhi, they were still inferior.

After all, the fifteen-day rest period is no joke. Under the threat of death, everyone is working hard to train themselves.

Now, Cheng Zhi had obviously run for hundreds of meters, but she still kept her breathing rhythm under her heavy breathing.

Soon, everyone who had determined their destination regained their energy and rushed to the open space where Tang Jiumin was.

Liu Ziyun partially transformed into a werewolf and rushed over first. He immediately stretched out his sharp claws and killed several nearby zombies.

After that, he kept circling the open space and patrolling the surroundings.

Obviously, seeing that everyone was tired, Liu Ziyun took the initiative to take up the guard duty without Tang Jiumin's orders.

This guy……

Tang Jiumin glanced at Liu Ziyun who was in a state of mind, and raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew what kind of virtue this person was, but every time he saw the other person being so selfless, he still curled his lips.

However, he didn't have much energy to think about this now. The thought just flashed in his mind, and then Tang Jiumin withdrew his attention and picked up the tablet again to check the zombies behind him.

At the same time, everyone around him sat down on the ground one by one and tried their best to relax, regardless of whether there were blood-stained corpses around them.

At this moment, everyone was weak and no longer had any scruples. Huang Zixing, who was very particular at first, now lay directly on the ground.

Fortunately, Tang Jiumin's little robot was always hanging behind him.

The control distance is 150 meters, and the small robot has its own field of vision, with a detection range of nearly 300 meters.

It can be seen that the zombie groups have lost their traces, and the originally dense group of corpses has begun to scatter.

Now, they were squatting down one by one, turning their heads left and right, as if they were chasing the smell.

The trial was too urgent, and Tang Jiumin didn't have time to judge how the zombies would be hunted.

But it can be seen that once they exceed a certain distance, it will be difficult for the zombies to detect their traces.

After understanding this, Tang Jiumin felt relieved. He took out the water bottle from his backpack and ordered everyone to replenish the water safely.

The distance from the carriage to the subway station and then to the park is almost one kilometer.

After running all the way, even the students in the sports school will have a little dry mouth, let alone them.

Everyone rested and rehydrated, while Liu Ziyun patrolled the area with a dagger. Once a zombie approached, he would throw the dagger out of his hand to ensure that the danger was eliminated before the zombies roared.

The gunfire was too loud. Now that he had finally gotten rid of those zombies, he didn't want to attract another group.

Although this method was a bit troublesome, he believed that Tang Jiumin would not delay for too long.

That's right, Tang Jiumin really didn't want to delay for too long.

According to the slow search speed of the zombie swarm, it takes about three minutes to sense their presence, which doesn't leave much time for everyone.

But this was a critical moment that could save his life. After he sat down, he took out the map and continued to analyze the intelligence.

Soon, several "veterans" recovered a little, and their breathing calmed down a lot, indicating that they were out of a state of exhaustion.

Not far away, Liu Ziyun, who was patrolling, also rushed back. He had cleaned up all the zombies around him and made sure there was no danger.

As soon as he came back, Liu Ziyun came to Tang Jiumin's side.

"Time is running out, what should we do next?"

"Don't rush me, I'm not the pervert in the movie." Tang Jiumin continued to stare at the tablet screen, "Good news, we left along the established route. This is East Park, not West Park."

"Because there is an office area and a school to the west. During working hours today on Monday, there will definitely be a lot of zombies there."

"And to the east, across the park, is a commercial street outside. Although there is a large flow of people, according to the newspaper, it is mainly visited by office workers. It is obviously not the peak period."

"So, this is our only way out, get out of the park and go to the commercial street, so we can know what to do next."

At the mention of this, Tang Jiumin paused slightly, "We don't have any more clues. There should be more than just survivors like us in a city, right?"

Everyone's expressions changed and they nodded.

Liu Ziyun couldn't help but lower his head and look at the tablet, his expression relaxed.

"Maybe there is good news, you have robots that can detect, and the risk can be reduced a lot."

After finishing his words, Liu Ziyun looked away from the tablet and scanned the surroundings, finding that everyone had almost recovered.

So, he looked at Tang Jiumin again.

After two trials, the two already had a certain tacit understanding. After looking at each other, they nodded almost at the same time.

"Everyone, stop resting." After making eye contact, Tang Jiumin immediately spoke, stood up at the same time, and looked at everyone, "The time is up, get ready to go."

The sudden instruction made everyone's faces drop.

The short rest was less than five minutes, and everyone's bodies had just begun to recover.

The few veterans who had gone through a trial with Tang Jiumin had no problem. E Sihai and Ding Wenxuan also stood up immediately.

But for others, things didn't go so smoothly.

At this time, because they were overly relaxed after overexertion and their legs were weak, it was difficult for them to get up.

Huang Zixing supported a lamppost, gritted his teeth and showed an expression of reluctance, and stood up closely behind the two of them.

Next to him, Yu Li was only a little slower than him, but he was not holding on to anything, and his legs were shaking a little when he stood up.

As for Lan Chenlin? She knew she couldn't delay at this time, but because she was a woman, her physical fitness was inherently inferior to men's. She was crying and her lips were white, and she couldn't stand up even if she wanted to.

However, after seeing her struggling a few times and failing to stand up on her own, Liu Ziyun strode over and helped her up.

"Yes, thank you..." Lan Chenlin lowered her head, her tone obviously tinged with tears, and she obviously had no confidence in her future in the trial.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Liu Ziyun sighed and opened his mouth.

However, he saw that Lan Chenlin was indeed standing firm now and could continue to persevere, so he said nothing more.

At this time, only the last person was still sitting on the ground...

Zhang Tiandao...

He raised his head and looked at this, then that, and finally stood up.

In fact, his condition was much better than that of Lan Chenlin, but he thought that one more second of rest would be a second.

At this point, all the newcomers stood up and followed Tang Jiumin without any objections and set off again.

This time, tiny robots walked the road ahead, camouflaged in colors that fit the ground to give them a clearer route.

Tang Jiumin led everyone around the park. Without firing a single shot, they successfully avoided the scattered zombies and left smoothly.

The quiet atmosphere should be full of tranquility and comfort, but this is not an afternoon cafe, and everyone does not have a leisurely afternoon tea, but is trying to escape with all their energy.

Here, if you are not careful, you will attract zombies and face the threat of death.

Therefore, in an environment with only slight footsteps, everyone felt that time almost stood still.

I do not know how long it has been.

The street entrance finally appeared at the far end of everyone's field of vision.

But here, Tang Jiumin suddenly stopped.

Not leaving?

The people at the back all looked towards the front, while Tang Jiumin took out his tablet under their gaze and observed the images sent back by the small robot.

Seeing this, Liu Ziyun next to him also stretched his head.

At this time, a picture of one of the street entrances was displayed on the flat screen. That area had completely turned into a battlefield, with a large number of zombies surging. Just looking at the picture, the dense scene gave people chills.

A group of zombies surrounded a supermarket on the corner of the street. They kept pushing and scratching, trying to rush into the supermarket.

Seeing this, Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun couldn't help but look at each other.

There are people in the supermarket.

I just don’t know how many people there are.

However, judging from the situation outside the supermarket, there were many carts and other obstacles, and there were even two police cars standing across the door. There were probably a lot of people inside.

A new image is loaded on the tablet.

As expected, there were a lot of people inside the supermarket. This time, the small robot sent back an image of the rooftop of the supermarket. On it, there were more than a dozen special police officers shooting at the zombie army below.

Fortunately at first, the zombies below could not attack the SWAT police above. As the shooting continued, the zombies at the front fell to the ground one by one.

It seems that the SWAT team wants to clear out the zombies in front of the supermarket before the door can be breached.

Very good idea.

Unfortunately, the sound of gunfire and living people made these zombies go crazy.

They rushed to the supermarket one by one. When one fell to the ground, the other one immediately rushed up. In this way, one stepped on the other and built a "zombie wall" in front of the supermarket door.

The SWAT police on the roof of the supermarket had serious faces. They looked at thousands of zombies forming a high wall, and they were approaching the roof of the supermarket in a steady stream.

This scene is a nightmare.

There were only a dozen or twenty SWAT officers. Facing such terrifying zombies, their firepower was seriously insufficient. Their little firepower fell on the wall of zombies and could not shake the wall of flesh at all.

No no...

The gunfire from the supermarket reached where Tang Jiumin and the others were, and there was only vague movement. However, in addition to the special police on the roof, the supermarket also had other fire support.

On the top of the building, a helicopter was hovering in mid-air. In the cabin, a special police officer raised the machine gun on the side of the helicopter and fired continuously at the zombie army below.

The zombie wall that was originally built was interrupted instantly, and most of the zombies that were desperately climbing fell to the ground.

No wonder, these special police officers must have been here for a while. They may be able to stabilize the situation with the support of this machine gun.

But even so, the situation in supermarkets is still not optimistic.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense can see that the bullets of a machine gun are always limited. Although the attack of the zombie group can be stopped now, it is only temporary.

Once the ammunition on the helicopter is exhausted, the supermarket will lose its main defense against the wall of corpses.

By then, maybe grenades and grenades will still be of some use, but with the submachine guns in these people's hands?

I can only think of another way...
