Chapter 1043

~5 min read 900 words

The bright sunlight shone on his body, and Ning Chen squinted slightly as he looked at the scene before him.

Outside was a stretch of sand; no one would have expected the sea to be right beside it.

Ning Chen drove the vehicle onto the main road and discovered that once he went to a certain place, the surrounding area within a specific distance would be unlocked on the map.

So when Ning Chen stopped at an entrance to the city, the map slowly unlocked the city.

Looking at the map, the city's name was City A; the roads here were very complex, and there were many buildings, clearly indicating a large city.

However, as Ning Chen looked outside, he could indeed see quite a few houses, but something was missing—people.

At the entrance to City A, there were many cars parked haphazardly, yet not a single person.

The view from the entrance was the same; the streets were desolate, with nothing to be seen.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Han couldn't help but frown: "Something is wrong here; it's very different from when I came before."

Ning Chen glanced at Xiao Han, then started the vehicle and drove forward; no matter what, they had to go in and check.

"Hiss! Why is it so messy here, with so much blood? Is this a slaughterhouse?" Lin Yi sucked in a sharp breath.

Before entering, it felt fine, but once inside, everyone was frightened by the scene before them.

There was nothing else; everything around was in chaos, and even some house doors stood wide open.

There weren't many buildings here; they were mostly villas, lined up row by row along the street.

These were residential houses; having their doors wide open like this was clearly abnormal.

After walking a stretch, the entire street was in this state.

Ning Chen stopped the vehicle; now they had to analyze the situation carefully.

This place clearly looked as if it had been robbed.

Ning Chen looked at Xiao Han, waiting for his thoughts.

Xiao Han shook his head at Ning Chen; he didn't know what kind of situation this currently was either.

"Ah!" Gu Yanqi suddenly let out a scream.

Ning Chen quickly got out of the driver's seat and went to Gu Yanqi's room.

He saw Gu Yanqi huddled in a corner of the bed, terrified, staring nervously at the window before her.

The window was on one side of the bed, offering a good view, and right now, a "person" in a very abnormal state was crouching there.

Of course, it might not even be called a person.

Ning Chen looked at the creature before him; its eyes were completely white, its mouth wide open, its face covered in blood and scars, its limbs twisted in strange positions, and its clothes torn to shreds.

Seeing this state, a word immediately came to Ning Chen's mind—zombie.

"Oh my goodness, what is this thing?" Lin Yi stood at the door, looking at the thing crouching not far away, and couldn't help but make a sound.

"This, this can't be a zombie, can it?" Gu Yanqi's trembling voice came through.

As if to match the mood, the zombie outside began to pound violently on the window.

Terrified, Gu Yanqi quickly jumped off the bed and threw herself into Ning Chen's arms.

Ning Chen wasn't afraid that the zombie outside would break the window; this RV was given by the system and could be described as indestructible. Even the strongest abilities would have absolutely no effect when striking the RV.

However, only Ning Chen knew this; the others were unaware, so at this moment, everyone except Ning Chen and Xiao Han wore expressions of fright.

"Don't worry; the RV has protection and won't be broken."

With no other choice, Ning Chen could only briefly explain it to everyone.

Lin Yi was the first to react; he looked at Ning Chen and said, "Ning Chen, do you mean this RV has some kind of protection, something like a talisman, so nothing else can get in?"

Lin Yi spoke quickly, as if eager to verify something.

Ning Chen thought for a moment; Lin Yi's words were pretty much correct, so he nodded.

If anyone else had said this, Lin Yi certainly wouldn't have believed it; he would have cursed their ancestors eighteen generations back and then driven off to flee.

But this person was Ning Chen, so Lin Yi immediately believed what he said, and his body instantly relaxed.

Given Ning Chen's personality, he would never say something unless he was certain; since he said it, it meant that no matter how many of those things came, as long as they stayed inside the RV, they would be safe.

Seeing that Lin Yi believed it, Huo Jinglin also lowered his guard.

On one hand, he trusted Ning Chen; on the other, although Lin Yi was usually carefree, he would never be like this regarding serious matters; instead, he was extremely cautious.

Seeing the RV's safety confirmed, Lin Yi wanted to get a closer look at that zombie.

"Young Lady Yanqi, may I get on your bed to look at that thing?"

Gu Yanqi looked at Lin Yi, closed her eyes, and nodded.

Having received permission, Lin Yi couldn't wait to take off his shoes and climb onto the bed, then crouched by the window to observe the creature.
