Living Dead's

Chapter 25 - Emergency Evacuation

When the explosion was over, Shen Yuan immediately checked the surroundings. The fire soared in the ruins of the helicopter and the zombies grabbed those who were alive.

Amidst the chaos, Shen Yuan saw Wen Fan who could not escape as his leg was hit by the chopper shards.

Shen Yuan ran up to him with Feifei. "Wen Fan!"

Wen Fan's eyes showed a feeling of relief after seeing her, but after that her expression turned into fear.

"No! Don't come! Just leave me and go!" He could see waves of zombies behind Shen Yuan.

However Shen Yuan did not listen to him and tried to lift the chopper's shards.

Wen Fan watched as the scorched-burned zombie limped towards Shen Yuan, he shouted sharply, "Leave me! That zombie is right behind you!"

"Be quiet! I already know!"

Feifei who was watching from the side was also anxious. But he also wanted his father to save Wen Fan. So Feifei fearlessly still stood beside the two of them.

Shen Yuan picked up the steel bar, put the tip down the shards, and used it as a lever. Using his weight, the chopper shards began to move slowly. He could hear the sound of zombies panting and the stench was right behind him. At the same time, Wen Fan managed to pull his foot out of the narrow gap.

Shen Yuan shouted, "Are your legs broken?"

"No, let's go!" Wen Fan pulled Feifei's hand away from there. "Down from the roof and back to the barn!"

As they were running, Feifei saw someone he knew, he shouted, "Ah, Auntie!"

Shen Yuan looked at his daughter's gaze, he saw a middle-aged woman being chased by zombies not far from them. Shen Yuan also recognized him, during lunch, he stuffed a boiled egg into Feifei's hand silently. He was one of only a few people who accepted Feifei's existence.

Shen Yuan was someone of poor affection. So if there is a person who is good to him or to his daughter, he will definitely return the favor.

"Jaga my daughter!" Shen Yuan gave instructions to Wen Fan before di unhesitatingly ran towards the old woman.

Shen Yuan took out his military knife. With a swing of his arm, the zombie head flew up, cut off from his neck, and his charred body fell violently onto the ground.

The aunt thanked him before running after them.

The situation on the roof had turned into a bloodbath. From all directions, they could hear the shouts from the burning people and the ferocious roars of the zealous zombies finding prey. Many people were covered in blood, crying and running as hard as they could, crowding towards the evacuation hallway door. Amidst the chaos, many people were trampled by others, thinking only of saving themselves.

"Xi Zihe!" Shen Yuan raised his voice.

Xi Zihe slashed at the zombies that approached the hallway door with fire-fighting axes. But within half a second when he pulled out the axe from the zombie body, two to three infected victims who had obviously been bitten by the zombie entered the building.

Shen Yuan grabbed her shoulders that had already been stained with a lot of foul blood, she shouted, "Let's go! You don't have to bother to guard this door! You can't control the situation anymore!"

"Let's go, Captain! They're all infected!" Yao Yue ran against the direction, his voice extremely loud as he shouted at them, "Quick! Back to the barn!"

Currently, the second explosion occurred in the ruins of the helicopter that was on fire, more zombies and survivors were thrown to the edge of the building due to the force of the explosion, smashed to pieces in the streets. Their blood soaked every inch of concrete ground beneath.

Xi Zihe let out a hot and weak breath, observing the members of his squad covered in dust and blood. Even little Xiao Fei, looked at him with a face stained with black dust. Xi Zihe shouted loudly, "Some of you are still alive, listen up!"

Xi Zihe raised his voice again, "Go to the underground parking lot in the North of the building immediately! I repeat, immediately go to the underground parking lot in the North of the building!"

Xi Zihe led the group, running into a safe passageway.

At this moment, the situation in the hallway had become even more crazy and bloody than on the roof. Many of the infected victims had mutated into zombies as they ran, and started pouncing on the people in the narrow passageway. Due to the limited space to move, they become tender prey. The number of people bitten and mutated is increasing rapidly. The lights in the hallway had been destroyed some time ago, and in the darkness the moans of zombies and the screams of victims were like coming from all directions.

Xi Zihe used a sharp axe to cut his way through the crowd, protecting the few survivors behind him. Several times there will be zombies crashing towards them. However they died under Xi Zihe's sharp axe, and every now and then Shen Yuan would help him when there were too many zombies attacking them.

The floor under their feet was slippery with blood and flesh. Who knows how many bodies with stomach contents are spilling all over the floor they have stepped on. Some of them thought to themselves, thankfully the lights in the hallway went out, otherwise they were not sure they would be able to cross this hallway.

It felt like a long journey without end, but now they would reach the end of the passageway. With an axe swing, Xi Zihe lunged through the stairway door, and into the underground parking lot.

"Hurry, hurry, let's get out!"

A group of survivors staggered through the door where he had exited. Xi Zihe turned around and closed the safety gate made of iron, preventing the zombie horde from entering with them into the parking lot.

Xi Zihe estimated the number of survivors with a sweep of his eyes, then immediately made a decision. "I'll drive that armored vehicle. Wen Fan, you drive that medium-sized bus. Come on!"

This was the escape route planned by Xi Zihe and Yao Yue if all did not go according to plan. They will use medium-sized buses to transport survivors to safety. They had even moved half of the supplies into the bus.

Wen Fan reached out his hand to ask for the key, then stopped suddenly in front of the medium-sized bus. He stood up unsteadily and looked at the frightened crowd.

"Hurry and open the door, let us go up!"

"Don't leave us!"

Panicked cries and screams came out from the crowd. It was so loud that it echoed filling this vast and empty parking lot.

Wen Fan stiffly swallowed his saliva. He opened his mouth a few times, yet could not say anything at all. Wen Fan was a gentle person, he could not bear to say that. Just in time, his shoulder was patted by Xi Zihe and pushed him backwards.

Xi Zihe was very tall and sturdy. His aura could dominate many people, his eyes slowly sweeping through the crowd. Shouts and cries slowly disappeared under this gaze of his, until the atmosphere became calm. Everyone looked at him with fear and confusion.

Xi Zihe finally opened his mouth, his voice deep and resolute, "Those who have already been bitten should stay here."
