Chapter 1

“Hurry up! Run! Those things are catching up to us!” She heard someone shout, followed by screams of panic, one after another.
In a narrow alley, a group of more than a dozen people ran hurriedly.

About ten meters away from the last person in the group, a crowd of thirty to forty “people” hobbled in ragged clothes, and chased after them.

This group consisted of both young and old, and they were physically exhausted after being chased through several streets.
However, these staggering “people” still maintained their pace and tailed the group as if they were never tired.

Gu Ning was wearing oversized grey sportswear, half dragging and half supporting Mother Gu, while desperately running ahead of the middle of the team.
Due to her strenuous running, a bar of chocolate fell out from the jacket pocket of the sportswear.
With a cry, Gu Ning glanced at the bar of chocolate on the ground, her eyes full of desire, yet she suppressed the urge to pick it up and continued running forward.
Her right hand was still clutching tightly onto a nearly half-meter-long watermelon knife, which was covered with a greyish-black sticky mucus.

Mother Gu, who was running beside her, turned pale as she had long been exhausted.
Her legs seemed to be filled with lead, yet she gritted her teeth and persisted, in fear of dragging down Gu Ning.

Gu Ning stared at a minibus parked less than a hundred meters away in front of them, a hint of joy fluttered through her heart.

However, at this moment.

“No more… I, I can’t run anymore!” A middle-aged woman in the fleeting group yelled and stopped, panting violently with both hands on her knees supporting herself.
Obviously, she had reached her limit as her face was as white as paper and drenched in sweat.
At first, she was running slightly behind Gu Ning, but with this sudden stop, she was left behind by the group in a blink of an eye.

“Gu Ning! My mom is behind!” A girl slightly further away from Gu Ning, screamed in panic at her.

Gu Ning had no idea how long she hadn’t washed her face.
Her visage was greyish and there was almost a thick layer of mud forming in some places which will be hard to tell her original face complexion.
She turned her head and saw that her aunt was standing at the end of the group, panting heavily, yet the zombie closest to her was less than ten meters away.
She glanced back at the minibus that was parked a hundred meters away, whereas the fastest runners had already boarded the bus.
Gu Ning turned her head and said to her mother: “Mom, go up the bus and meet up with Dad first.
I will go to save our aunt with cousin and will come back as fast as possible!”

“NingNing, can you help me to go instead? My, my legs have gone weak …” Panicked and helplessness bloomed on the girl’s face while crying.

Gu Ning wanted to speak more, but at this time her aunt was already deep in danger, and there was seriously no time to waste for arguments.
Thus, she gritted her teeth and replied: “Then take care of my parents!”

Jiang Yu nodded hurriedly: “Don’t worry! I will take care of my aunt and uncle!”

“NingNing, you should be careful!” Mother Gu was very worried, but it was impossible to stop Gu Ning from saving her sister-in-law.
She could only watch Gu Ning run towards the danger with great worries and then Jiang Yu supported her to continue running forward.

It had been more than three months since the apocalypse happened.
Gu Ning is no longer the girl who can only scream and run away panicking when facing zombies.
Amidst the horrifying screams from her aunt, she dashed towards the zombie upfront, and at the same time slashed with the watermelon knife that was nearly half a meter long in her hand, onto the zombie’s head!

These zombies just looked horrible, slightly disgusting, a little bit stronger, their speed was just like ordinary people walking quickly, and their heads are much softer than ordinary people.  Once overcoming the psychological barriers, and avoid getting bitten, there was nothing to be scared of.
In her heart, Gu Ning repeatedly doing the psychological construction.

There was a puff—— like the sound of watermelon breaking, and half of the zombie’s head was being shaved off.
There was greyish-black sticky liquid instantly splashing out, and Gu Ning sprang around with experience where those disgusting slurries only splattered onto her clothes.

She did not pause and clenched the watermelon knife with both hands and fiercely thrusted into the zombie’s belly vigorously.
Forcibly, the female zombie who was still wearing a complete dress, with an indistinguishable face due to rot, got pushed a few steps back.
Then she yanked the knife out and forcefully stabbed into the zombie’s empty eye socket!

The female zombie uttered an inhumane scream! Then back a few steps backward, hands flinging in the air for awhile before falling heavily onto the ground and went still.

Gu Ning did not have time to catch her breath, as if she had not noticed the embarrassing dirt on her body, she hurriedly helped her aunt who had fallen to the ground.
She glanced at the group of staggering zombies that were more than ten meters away and Gu Ning frowned and warned with a cold voice: “Auntie if we don’t leave now, the two of us will die here!”

Lin MeiFeng quickly got up from the floor, and with the support from Gu Ning, they ran forward staggering.

As if attracted by the screams here, more and more zombies joined the chasing zombies.

Lin MeiFeng could not help and look back, her legs went weak and she fell on her knees.
Gu Ning hurriedly helped her up and then shouted to Jiang Yu who had already gotten onto the bus in front of them: “Jiang Yu! Come here and bring your mom over!”

Jiang Yu who originally planned to sneak inwards awkwardly stopped her body after hearing Gu Ning’s shouting.
Everyone in the bus was staring at her, thus she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ran out of the bus towards Gu Ning and Lin MeiFeng.

“Bring Auntie up onto the bus first.
I’ll hold it off for a while!” Gu Ning pushed Lin MeiFeng towards Jiang Yu, then she sprang around with the watermelon knife and slashed at the nearest zombie.

“Then be careful.” Jiang Yu said with a shaky voice and then took Lin MeiFeng away without looking back.

“I’ll go down and help NingNing!” Seeing that Gu Ning was about to be overtaken by the zombie, Father Gu planned to get out of the bus to help, but was pulled away by Mother Gu: “Your leg injury has not healed up, don’t go down and cause more trouble for NingNing!”

“Lin MeiFeng, are you alright?” Mother Gu reached out and pulled the collapsed Lin MeiFeng into the bus.

Lin MeiFeng collapsed onto the seat, she was unable to speak a word as cold sweat drenching her, whole-body trembling.

“Back, back there are a lot of zombies chasing up…”Jiang Yu said with a pale face after getting into the bus.
After a pause, her eyes flickered and then said with difficultly: “Gu, Gu Ning seems to be bitten.
I saw blood on her wrist…”

“What? What are we waiting for! Wait for her to get onto the bus and become a zombie and bite us all!” The driver was a young man around twenty-four or five, and he started the bus as soon as he heard that Gu Ning was bitten.

“Jiang Yu! What nonsense are you sprouting about?!” Jiang YueZhou who was originally lying in the back seat yelled agitatedly.
Then he comforted the pale-faced Father Gu and Mother Gu: “Sister and brother-in-law, NingNing will be fine.”

“But I…I really saw it…”Jiang Yu started sobbing when Jiang YueZhou yelled at her.

“Jiang YueZhou do you want to die! Why do you yell at your daughter!” Lin MeiFeng, who lost her soul a moment ago suddenly exploded: “I saw it too! Gu Ning’s wrist is bleeding a lot! If she really is bitten by a zombie, none of us can escape!”

“Lin MeiFeng!” Mother Gu gotten fed up with
