We’ll definitely be able to leave by tomorrow morning. Good, narrowly avoided disaster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At eight at night, Zhang Su leaned out and shone his flashlight on the road—a shimmering expanse. Using zombie corpses and tires as references, he could clearly gauge the depth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, I guess there won’t be any cartoon-watching tonight, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Dankun walked up behind Zhang Su with an expectant expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su found the guy oddly amusing and laughed: “Correct answer. Reward: a ‘Go to Bed Early, Wake Up Early’ experience card. Yu Qing, you’re on first watch. Zhu, you take over at midnight. Finally, Xiao Shan. I’ll go inform the vehicles behind…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water was too deep, so Zhang Su didn’t bother getting out—he passed the message along by relay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging the watch shifts, Zhang Su lay down on his bed and fell asleep early. At this critical moment, indulgence was out of the question; conserving strength was essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the apocalypse, sleeping under the open sky was normal. Having an RV for shelter was already ten thousand times better than most survivors. But while the metal skin blocked wind and rain, it couldn’t provide the security that reinforced concrete could—everyone slept uneasily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After who knew how long, Zhang Su felt a shaking—and snapped his eyes open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Su, more zombies are coming—lots of them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Xiaoshan’s voice rang out, trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lots?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su slapped Zheng Xinyu awake beside him, rolled off the bed, and began pulling on his clothes. “Quick—alert the people in the vehicles behind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the situation weren’t dire, he knew Zhong Xiaoshan would never be afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Xinyu let out a soft moan, sensing the frantic movements beside her. Her mind snapped clear instantly. Without asking a single question, she began pulling on clothes and grabbing weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Xiaoshan didn’t waste a second—she grabbed her high-intensity flashlight and went to warn the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before everyone had fully woken from sleep, a pounding sound erupted across the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su peered through the windshield. Even in total darkness, he could sense the terrifying number of zombies from the dense, chaotic movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, big brother, just like this afternoon—these zombies were supposed to head north, but they suddenly stopped right beside us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Dezhu slept in the RV’s living area. He could see outside just by sitting up—so he’d learned the situation even earlier than Zhang Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, find out how many!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su opened the window, struck a flare, and hurled it hard toward the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the light streaked through the air, everyone felt their scalp prickle. Yu Qing’s legs buckled involuntarily; if Zhao Dezhu hadn’t caught her, she would’ve collapsed right there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flare was a camping tool provided with the Mercedes RV—a professional-grade expedition item capable of burning even underwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the brief moment it flew through the air, it illuminated a vast area. Within sight, the streets were packed with zombies—some crushed into roadside ditches. The sheer number sent chills down their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t compare to the horde they’d hidden from at the dry cleaner’s, but it far exceeded the one that attacked the Yilewen convenience store!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaoouu… A large group of zombies, drawn by the flare’s light, surged toward it—but soon the flare fell into the horde and was extinguished, no one knew how.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could there be a horde?” Zheng Xinyu gripped her baseball bat tightly in one hand and clutched Zhang Su’s arm with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too many. Far too many. So many they choked the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A conservative estimate: over a thousand zombies were approaching from afar. A terrifying number—each person would need to kill at least a hundred to eliminate the threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An impossible task…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a hundred zombies stood still in a line to be killed, it would take considerable time—and not everyone had the stamina. And zombies wouldn’t stand still—they’d attack violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mercedes RV was shoved harder and harder by advancing zombies; those inside felt constant jolts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the RV itself weighed over ten tons. After adding water and food, its total weight reached a staggering twenty tons—and it didn’t tip over during the first wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the rest of the horde surrounded them, it would be disastrous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, damn it, I’ll kill you, shit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhang Su frantically thought of a solution, a window on one side opened—Pang Dankun stuck his crowbar out and stabbed downward, cursing loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drag him back inside. This won’t work. We need to drive through. Figure out how to alert the vehicles behind—they must turn around and lure away some zombies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su made up his mind: staying trapped inside was no solution. The sea of zombies could swallow all five vehicles whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could start the engine, a figure shot out through the window Pang Dankun had opened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good… luck!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Xinyu reached forward as if to grab the dashing Corgi, then clapped her other hand over her mouth, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woof! Woof! Woof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Su turned to ask what had happened, a loud, piercing bark echoed outside the window. He turned—and saw Lucky standing on the road, barking furiously at the horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaoouu…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombies seemed to respond—countless zombies roared, and a portion immediately turned toward Lucky’s barking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucky stood alone on one side of the road, facing hundreds of zombies without flinching. He barked loudly, then leapt across the ditch beside the road—his intent clear: he intended to lure away part of the horde and help the convoy escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Lucky…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Xinyu covered her mouth, staring into the darkness. She couldn’t see Lucky—she could only follow his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lucky acted swiftly, the Mercedes RV still took countless impacts. The whole vehicle began to shake. Worse, zombies were shoving the ones in front, stacking themselves up like human pyramids!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they mastered this technique, no wall—not even a city wall—could hold them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Prado and the Mercedes G both started up. Deafening horns blared, and bright headlights flooded the entire road, illuminating the grotesque faces of the zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of impacts rang out behind the Mercedes RV. The Prado and the Mercedes G had turned around together on the road, horns blaring, slowly driving toward Shuikou Village!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in both vehicles never imagined they’d one day learn from a dog…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bozi, Xiao Xue!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su gripped the seat to keep from falling as the RV shook, watching the two vehicles slowly recede into the distance, dragging zombies with them. His expression was complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open the windows—kill! Don’t let zombies break in! Watch your safety!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two vehicles plus Lucky had lured away many zombies, but dozens still surrounded the Mercedes RV. At this point, starting the engine would be useless—unless it was a modified ice-breaker or a heavy-duty special vehicle, there was no way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone moved urgently, steadying themselves, opening windows to stab at zombies climbing up. They struck ruthlessly, showing no mercy—even Yu Qing was frantically thrusting her weapon. In this fight for survival, no one dared slacken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three in the Tiguan were nearly incontinent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, zombies brushed past the Tiguan. The tiny SUV was like a leaf in a tide of corpses, and after repeated impacts, it had even shifted sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d never seen anything like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xin’s face was pale as death. He forced calm into his voice: “W-what do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reverse! Quick, reverse! Catch up to the Prado and the G!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tianji hissed low, his face twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reverse… reverse… reverse…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up, don’t waste time! Floor the gas! Reverse! If you don’t move faster, you’re worse than a dog!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wang Xin frozen in panic, Liu Tianji shoved him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xin finally snapped to, pressed the start button, shifted into reverse, stomped the accelerator—and crushed several zombies under the wheels. The car’s rear lifted awkwardly, then slammed down, jolting everyone inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the road wasn’t yet fully covered. They quickly found a spot to turn around. Even the Prado could turn easily—let alone the small Tiguan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xin yanked the steering wheel to turn the car around. He noticed Liu Tianji still holding the horn down. He glanced at his colleague—and understood his intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently I heard an interesting song, a small sharing: “Lanruo Dumu.” It moved me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1463,"2026-06-20T15:15:14.526Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c3902ba453cb8b32f6821321e3d3ac6de6d2e89930cb5c9c5461b3e6ccc40bc3","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-135","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-133",694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-cover.jpg"]
