Chapter 25

The twenty or so red dots represented twenty or so zombies. The zombie radar, after scanning the zombies, displayed them all on a single plane. In a special terrain like a building, it was impossible to accurately determine which floor the zombies were on, which was a drawback of the zombie radar.

For example, if there was a zombie on each floor from the first to the tenth floor in the stairwell, the zombie radar would only show that there were 10 zombies in the stairwell, without specifying how many were on each floor. Chen Fei would have to personally verify this.

Now, in front of Chen Fei, there were twenty or so zombies in the elevator corridor, but he had no idea how many were on each floor. He had not cleared the zombies below the sixth floor of the building, which meant that these twenty or so zombies were the total from the sixth floor to the basement. Among them, there must be a floor with more than ten zombies.

Was it the first floor? Or the basement? This was very important to Chen Fei.

Just now, Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin were able to kill all the zombies in the elevator, thanks not only to Chen Fei's reaction speed and attack speed but also to the environment. Now, Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin were in a small, enclosed space inside the elevator, with limited movement. If a group of zombies appeared outside when the elevator door opened, Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin could only pray for divine protection.

Nan Gong Jin stood in a corner of the elevator, holding the katana in her arms. Since entering the elevator, Chen Fei had closed his eyes and remained silent. From his furrowed brows, it was clear he was deep in thought, so Nan Gong Jin did not speak either. She just stood in the corner, watching Chen Fei.

After a long while, Chen Fei opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

Now, the red dots on the zombie radar could not be determined to be on the first floor or the basement. Only by going to see and verifying it personally could the problem be solved. It was a matter of probability, like flipping a coin.

Time was slipping away, and Chen Fei had less and less time to hesitate. He had to make a decision. To get to the basement, he could either take the elevator or the stairs, but the stairs had more zombies.

Reality left Chen Fei with no choice!

"Nan Gong Jin, we might face a dozen or more zombies when we go down. Are you afraid?"

Chen Fei turned his head and looked at Nan Gong Jin, his face returning to the playful smile he hadn't shown for days.

"Afraid? Because I think I would look terrible as a zombie!"

Nan Gong Jin seemed to see through Chen Fei's thoughts and teased him with a half-joking tone, easing the tense atmosphere.

"That can't be! Even if you turn into a zombie, you would still be the prettiest zombie!"

Chen Fei handed a set of keys to Nan Gong Jin and then pressed the button for the basement. The elevator, which had been stationary, began to descend slowly...

"The garage is 216. I won't let you turn into a zombie before me! If there are many zombies, I'll find a way to clear a path for you. You don't need to worry about me; just get to the garage as quickly as possible. I'll leave Qing to you!"

Chen Fei's back was to Nan Gong Jin, and his calm tone touched her. His not-so-broad back gave her a sense of reliability.

After saying this, Chen Fei was mentally scoring himself for his bravado, when he felt someone hug him from behind. Nan Gong Jin rested her chin on his shoulder and said with a breathy voice:

"Xiao Fei Fei, your back is so cool! It made me a little excited. You must stay alive. If we can rescue Qing, I'll give you some benefits tonight!"

Be... benefits!!!

Chen Fei felt his head buzz with excitement, involuntarily imagining what the benefits might be, perhaps some adult scenes, and the feeling of being hugged by a beautiful woman, soft and warm, something he wanted to experience forever!!!

"Prepare, we're almost there!"

Just as Chen Fei was daydreaming, Nan Gong Jin let go of him.

The elevator had already reached the second floor...

Chen Fei shook his head hard, remembering a post he had read that said young men couldn't resist the allure of older women. Now, he realized it was true; a single word could make you lose your head.

What a seductress!

Chen Fei thought to himself, already prepared for battle.

Ding...

The elevator door opened slowly. In that instant, Chen Fei fired four crossbow bolts without hesitation.

The next second, Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin were stunned because there was not a single zombie in front of them!

Lucky! We hit the jackpot!

Chen Fei was secretly delighted, but when he turned around, he met Nan Gong Jin's teasing gaze, as if mocking him for his earlier performance in the elevator.

What kind of look is this? I was being genuine just now! I didn't plan any script or plot!

Chen Fei was speechless...

The elevator faced a corner leading to the underground garage, forming a small alley. After exiting the elevator, Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin hid and observed, not rushing out. Four crossbow bolts were embedded in the concrete wall.

Seeing the bolts, Chen Fei awkwardly glanced at Nan Gong Jin and then used some effort to remove them.

Nan Gong Jin huffed and threw the set of keys to Chen Fei, who caught them reluctantly and then pressed the garage door switch.

Buzz...

The sound of the garage door rolling up was particularly jarring in the quiet, dim underground garage.

From Chen Fei's position, he could see his garage, about twenty meters from the elevator. He had expected the underground garage to be the place with the most zombies, but the result was surprising.

Chen Fei made a gesture and walked quickly and quietly toward the garage. Nan Gong Jin followed silently behind.

Clunk, clunk, clunk...

However, just as Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin had walked less than five meters, several figures staggered out from the other side of the corner, heading toward the garage. They were zombies attracted by the noise, totaling six!

Chen Fei quickly activated the zombie radar. The radar showed that several red dots were slowly moving toward the garage, and they were definitely not on the ground floor.

Without a word, Chen Fei turned and pulled Nan Gong Jin's wrist, running quickly toward the garage. The increased footsteps quickly drew the attention of the zombies, who became excited upon smelling the scent of the living and charged toward Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin.

Chen Fei shot while running, firing four times but only hitting three zombies. The fastest zombie was already in front of him.

Chen Fei was about to draw the M9 multi-purpose bayonet from his thigh when Nan Gong Jin stepped forward, kicked the zombie down, and stabbed it through the head with her katana. She had developed some energy-saving combat techniques in her battles with zombies, finding it much easier to pierce the head than to decapitate.

The sound of the fight quickly drew the attention of more zombies. After using the crossbow to kill two more zombies, Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin finally reached the garage.

The modified pickup truck gave Nan Gong Jin a huge visual impact, making her stand there in shock.

"Nan Gong Jin, don't just stand there! Get in the car! The zombies are coming!"

Chen Fei shouted and rushed to the pickup truck first. Nan Gong Jin snapped out of her shock and quickly climbed into the passenger seat.

After both were in the car, the zombies chasing them crashed into the front of the truck, but their impacts were ineffective against the reinforced front end.

The modified pickup truck was like a mobile fortress, impervious to the frenzied zombies!

"Nan Gong Jin, hold on!"

Chen Fei glanced at the still shocked Nan Gong Jin, reminded her, and started the truck. With a roar from the engine, he slammed on the gas, and the truck shot forward like a crouching beast.

Three zombies were crushed by the modified large wheels, and a few on the hood were thrown off.

Bang!!!

Because he pressed the gas too hard and was unprepared, the truck crashed into the opposite garage door, creating a large dent. The zombie on the hood was splattered.

Nan Gong Jin, caught off guard, hit her head on the dashboard...

"Xiao Fei Fei, can you even drive?"

Nan Gong Jin, holding her forehead, shouted angrily.

"Hehehe... a little, I haven't driven a manual much..."

"Let me drive, you're wasting such a good car!"

So, Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin switched seats in the car, with some unavoidable physical contact that made Chen Fei secretly pleased, and he looked forward to the so-called benefits tonight!

Nan Gong Jin, sitting in the driver's seat, fastened her seatbelt, reversed to knock a few zombies away, and then, with a bang on the dashboard, drove the truck toward the garage exit.

Chen Fei, holding his forehead, looked at Nan Gong Jin in disbelief.

"Nan Gong Jin, you don't have a car, how can you drive so well?"

Nan Gong Jin let out a disdainful snort:

"My cousin is a professional rally driver! I used to pester him during school holidays, so I learned a bit."

Chen Fei was speechless.

Vroom...

With the roar of the engine, a modified pickup truck, clad in steel armor, burst out of the garage, breaking through the barrier and roaring into the night.
