Instead, they were all headed towards the nearby buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their job was to disperse all the nearby populations, even though the record stated that less than a hundred people lived nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everything coming together, Xiaoyun and Kate themselves weren't near any of the Divisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they were halfway on the bridge, trying to pass all the rubble to reach the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jesus, this car is so damn hard to climb,\" Kate complained as her hand kept on slipping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just hold onto my hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate jumped and grabbed Xiaoyun's hand, she was slowly lifted to the top of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are we trying to get to the other side?\" Kate curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to have a look at it myself... Having a binocular looking at it in the distance doesn't tell the full picture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun jumped down to continue advancing, he finally encountered the biggest challenge on this bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flipped-over semi-truck that had been all burnt up, with sharp, rusty edges that can definitely give someone tetanus if they get cuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do we get through this one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate asked as another burnt-up semi-truck was lying on the other side of the bridge, leaving them completely stuck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun suddenly climbing over the bridge fences, Kate immediately panicked for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he moved past the tuck, she quickly realized there was a slight ledge on the side that allowed him to stand diagonally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his back facing the ocean right below, Kate's heart started uncontrollably beating faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to climb over the fence to begin sliding towards him, he suddenly started sliding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ledges doesn't extend all the way... Let me just come up with a different idea instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun climbed over the fence again and landed on the bridge's road, the two of them quickly walked over to the burnt-up semi-truck again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a bit, Xiaoyun finally came up with an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a few steps back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With five steps away from the tuck, an empty box suddenly appeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, more empty boxes appeared, each bigger than the last one, as they started stacking up on each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it became almost like a staircase, allowing them to walk all the way to the same level as the semi-truck's top side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... Just a small little bridge should work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly created a relatively thick sheet of metal and placed it directly on top of the semi-truck's wreckage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he put one foot onto it, testing if the wreckage could support the weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After it didn't bend or move at all, he slowly got on top of the metal sheet before walking all the way to the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was almost an entire story tall, Xiaoyun didn't hesitate to jump forward, landing on the ground with a roll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can walk on the metal sheet. It should be fine for you.\" Xiaoyun yelled as he quickly created several mattresses for her to jump to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate hesitated for a second, but she eventually walked onto the metal sheet before reaching the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With several mattresses right below her, she jumped down and braced herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud stomp could be heard as the spring pushed her back up a little before she was lying on the mattress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, now we can continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xiaoyun helped Katherine get down from the mattress, he quickly turned his attention down the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were finally no more big wreckages that blocked the road, with only abandoned cars on the other side as they continued walking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two soon reached the end of the bridge and arrived on the other side, where there were hundreds of thousands of buildings in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up close, there were a few smaller buildings, seemingly to be a convenience store and a short pit stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate quickly followed Xiaoyun down the road as they approached the convenience store, but he suddenly signaled her to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his gun drawn, Kate quickly also raised her gun as they walked closer and closer to the front door of the store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After standing and examining it from the outside, I saw that it seemed to be empty. However, there was a locked door further inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a ton of food seemingly inside the store with no signs of looting, Xiaoyun didn't lower his guard a single bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see if someone was inside, Xiaoyun quickly pulled out a flashlight and threw it straight through the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud crackling sound echoed through the building as the flashlight shattered the window glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate, take this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly handed her an invisible cloak before putting one on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With both of them now invisible, they began slowly walking inside as they held their hands together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking left and right, the two couldn't find a single soul inside as they approached the last place in the convenience store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun tried to turn the doorknob, but only a clank sound appeared, indicating it was locked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to bust it open.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate squeezed his hand twice, indicating she was ready, as a gun barrel could be seen floating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two separated, Xiaoyun quickly turned around against the door before putting his foot against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a strong backward kick, the locked door popped right open, revealing a small, dark figure inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun immediately ran a few steps back, with Katherine doing the same as they watched the small, dark figure in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After standing there for almost a whole minute, the figure didn't seem to move a single bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is it not moving?\" Kate murmured, as the skin on the dark figure looked like that of a zombie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it starved to death inside or something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun approached closer with his gun in hand, he soon realized why the dark figure didn't move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a prop that looked like a zombie, and everything else in the room was Halloween decorations of some sort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck for sake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them both lowered their gun and turned off their invisible cloak, they couldn't believe a statue had just tricked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stupid statue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Kate was about to kick it in anger, Xiaoyun suddenly noticed the statue's eye's color changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, he pulled her back last second before pulling his gun out and firing several shots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explore hidden tales at мѵʟ\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that for?\" Kate asked in confusion as she looked over at him with a slight anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That isn't a statue... I'm 100% that thing is living.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate turned around and examined the statue again, she quickly realized it was bleeding down green blood from its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of zombies is that?\" Kate asked, unable to believe she had almost fallen for the trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know... It's probably some sort of mutant... Anyway, let's go now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate quickly turned around and followed him all the way back to the outside before he stopped again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, there's a car nearby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immediately walked to the sidewalk, standing still as they waited for the car to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a minute, the car finally arrived as it parked right outside the convenience store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four people jumped right out of the car, two men and two women, both having one young and one much older, fully armed to the teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their makeshift gears, it was clear they were just some sort of survival group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun and Kate both quickly approached the four of them, walking just close enough to hear what they were saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm so hungry!\" One of the women complained as she grabbed a bag of chips from the shelf and opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be quiet. You literally just ate a few hours ago, \" A much older man murmured as he grabbed several of the foods on the shelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I think there's someone that had been here.\" A young woman yelled from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>",1543,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","b696e0316689b18735bae5f9d50585344446606e141cafa49ed58c134a8eae22","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-458","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-456",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
