A few of them had good luck; they found a usable Subaru SUV by the roadside. Before Li Fazi and the others could approach to check it, a middle-aged man in the driver's seat noticed them. Of course, he had already turned into a zombie. He kept growling, and with the window only slightly open, he barely managed to stretch out half of his body, waving his arms wildly, trying to tear Li Fazi and the others apart.

Since the owner was in the car, it was definitely usable. Li Fazi didn't want to mess up the Subaru because of him, so he pressed the machete against the zombie's head and tried to open the car door. The door was indeed open, and Li Fazi quickly opened it, causing the zombie to fall out. Yan Zekun, who was standing nearby, immediately went up and gave it a slash, ending its life.

Li Fazi got into the car and searched around. The car keys and driver's license were inside. Li Fazi picked up the driver's license and walked to the corpse.

"Mr. Cameron, who lived on Swallow Street, we are very sorry for your misfortune. We need to borrow your vehicle now, and we will use it well. Thank you."

After saying this, Li Fazi placed the driver's license next to the corpse. Lily and the others were already waiting in the car, so Li Fazi didn't waste any more time. He got into the driver's seat and started the vehicle.

The road was left with only the corpse, and the Subaru drove further and further away. No one knew whether the next day or an accident would come first.

With the car, they no longer had to waste time dealing with those zombies, and their tracking speed increased significantly. Initially, they had planned to search only a small area on foot. However, as they followed the tracks of Si Yao and Alex, they found themselves walking further and further.

If they went back to get the Land Rover, it would waste more time, and the chances of finding Si Yao and the others would decrease. So they decided to take their chances and ended up in this Subaru.

When they arrived at the street with the café, they saw the street filled with zombies like ants. Especially in front of one café, they were packed in layers.

"We have a tough battle ahead," Li Fazi said, feeling a bit numb as he looked at the crowd of zombies.

"Shh, the zombies are all gathered at the entrance of that shop. If we follow the tracks correctly, Si Yao and the others must be inside," Li Fazi immediately turned off the engine and gestured for everyone to speak quietly to avoid being detected by the zombies.

"So many zombies, and the main door is broken. The situation doesn't look good," Yan Zekun, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the main door was already broken and said pessimistically.

"They might be hiding in the bathroom or a room, or they might have escaped through the back door. But no matter what, we need to enter that shop to find out what happened," Li Fazi didn't believe that Si Yao and the others would be trapped here. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wouldn't give up.

"Can we use a flare gun to draw them away, like we did with the zombies in front of the nightclub yesterday?" He also asked Li Fazi. There were too many zombies here, far more than the two shops they had encountered earlier, so they had to use a clever approach.

"No, the flare is for regrouping with Hawkeye and the others. We can't use it lightly," Lily immediately rejected the idea.

"It seems we need to come up with a plan," Li Fazi said, deep in thought.

"I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it will work," He also said when the others were at a loss. "I can rush down this street and draw the zombies away, giving you a chance to enter the shop. I played outfield in the baseball team, so I'm very fast. Dealing with these slow-moving zombies should be no problem."

"No way!" As soon as He also finished speaking, the three others immediately rejected his proposal.

After all, this was He also's first time outside, and he hadn't experienced the terrifying nature of a zombie horde. Especially with such a large number of zombies, speed was of no use.

"That's too dangerous. Even if you manage to break through, you won't be able to shake them off. You will get tired, but they won't," Lily said, and the four of them fell silent again.

"He also's idea can be tried, but I will be the one to draw them away," Li Fazi said calmly, with no expression on his face.

"Are you crazy? Saving people is important, but you can't risk your own life!" Lily frowned, dissatisfied. In her view, Li Fazi was going to die for nothing.

"It's fine. I'll drive directly over, which is much safer than running on foot," Li Fazi said, pulling out a gun from his pocket. "And I have a gun. If I encounter danger, I can easily deal with it."

Despite Lily's strong objections, Li Fazi decided on the plan on his own.

"Alright, Si Yao and Alex might be waiting for our rescue inside! Every second counts! Later, I'll drive as slowly as possible to keep the zombies attracted, while ensuring our safety," Li Fazi continued to explain the plan to the others.

"I'll try to buy you as much time as possible. I'll turn right at the next intersection, circle around, and come back. Whether we find Si Yao and Alex or not, you must get in the car quickly!" After Li Fazi finished speaking, Yan Zekun and the others prepared to get out of the car.

There was no better plan, so they had to follow Li Fazi's plan.

"Hey, Lily. You should stay in the car with me," Li Fazi quickly called out when he saw Lily about to get out.

"What, don't want to let your sister go?" Lily replied with a teasing tone.

"You'll just be a burden if you come with us. Stay in the car," Yan Zekun said, closing the door that Lily had opened.

"Alright, then I'll stay with you. Don't have any funny ideas, okay?" Lily took off her rocket hat, which she had just put on, and said reluctantly.

Lily, of course, knew that Li Fazi wasn't the kind of person who would do that, and this was just a joke.

Li Fazi smiled helplessly and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Yan Zekun and He also were ready, Li Fazi said goodbye to them and started the car, driving towards the horde of zombies.

Li Fazi honked the horn wildly to attract the zombies. The Subaru wasn't driving fast; this wasn't an escape, but a way to draw the zombies away.

The SUV crushed the zombies blocking the way and moved forward, bumping along.

Seeing that the front of the café was now safe, with only a few zombies inside, Yan Zekun and He also rushed out. By the time they reached the entrance, the zombies inside had heard the commotion and were trying to squeeze out.

Without a word, He also and Yan Zekun started fighting!
