CHAPTER 1170: CHAPTER 278: THIS MIGHT BE ME...

In the city.

A car was driving down the desolate streets.

"So quiet, not even a ghost in sight."

Sun Jun surveyed, the ruined environment of the city deeply impacting his heart. The city used to be prosperous and bustling, and the lively scenes would appear in his mind as he looked around.

"It’s exactly as you said, the zombies in the city are really gone."

Zhou Hongcheng was quite relieved.

Sun Jun smiled, "My speculation is never wrong. Wave after wave of zombies leaving, where did they come from must be from the city. There’s definitely no issue."

Chen Yan asked, "Should we search for supplies first, or look for the satellite phone?"

Zhou Hongcheng said, "The best order is to find supplies first, then look for the satellite phone. If something unexpected happens, at least we’d have gained something."

Sun Jun and the others nodded in agreement. Indeed, this was the best choice.

First, find some supplies and get ready.

If something happens while searching for the satellite phone, they can run back to the tunnel with the supplies. Only with supplies can they plan for the future.

They arrived at a small shop, Sun Jun and his companions cautiously observed their surroundings. Even though it seemed like the zombies in the city had left, no one could be sure there wouldn’t be any danger.

"Safe, collect the supplies."

Sun Jun got out of the car, holding a weapon, he quickly ran into the shop, with Chen Yan and Zhou Hongcheng following closely behind, while another person stayed in the driver’s seat, keeping an unblinking watch outside.

Ready to report any situation at any time.

Inside the shop.

Sun Jun carried boxes of instant noodles, "The supplies in the city are too abundant. Too many people have become zombies, finding supplies among hordes of zombies is nearly impossible."

Zhou Hongcheng said, "We really lucked out."

Instant noodles, bottled water, bread, and biscuits were continuously loaded into the vehicle.

They also took many cartons of cigarettes from the counter.

In the tense apocalypse, cigarettes could relieve tension, but as for liquor, it was impossible to take. Who knows what a drunk person might do.

Such irrational things definitely shouldn’t be taken.

They moved quickly.

Once the vehicle was full, they hurriedly left the shop and returned to the car.

"It really went smoothly, this was our most successful supply run so far." Sun Jun’s face lit up with a bright smile.

Zhou Hongcheng said similarly, "I’m a little not used to this atmosphere. In the past, we risked our lives to find supplies."

Yes, thinking about the past and comparing it to the current situation, the two are simply incomparable.

It’s so smooth that it’s a little unsettling.

"I think when we go to find the satellite phone later, it will definitely go smoothly too."

Sun Jun firmly believed that a good start meant that everything would go smoothly.

The vehicle continued to drive.

Unlike other phones, a satellite phone is not easy to find. You need to go to a specified location to buy one. In good spirits, they watched the surroundings. The city was truly desolate. Every store was heavily damaged and surrounded by overgrown weeds. Given the current situation, perhaps in six months or a year, without zombies trampling around, this place would definitely become a deserted city covered in greenery.

Bam!

At that moment.

A loud noise erupted.

Hearing the noise, they turned around to see a zombie scrambling out on all fours, crashing into the store opposite, creating a huge commotion in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the zombie emerged from the shop, shaking its head, growling lowly, madly chasing after their car.

"This is a Hunter, a type of zombie recorded in the atlas, not something us ordinary people can handle."

"Damn, how could there be a Hunter in an empty city."

"Shouldn’t it have left with the horde?"

Sun Jun’s face turned somewhat pale.

If it were ordinary zombies, it would be fine; you could easily take them down with a few hits. But facing such a zombie, there’s truly no way to deal with it.

The car careened recklessly down the street, trying hard to pick up speed was really difficult, abandoned cars were overturned everywhere on the road, a slight miscalculation could lead to a crash with these wrecked cars.

If there was a crash, they’d be done for.

They kept looking back, the Hunter was fast and nimble, relentlessly pursuing the vehicle, there was no way to widen the gap.

"We can’t stay on the streets, we need to figure out a way to get onto the highway, to shake off the Hunter."

The situation was very tense.

The sense of oppression was truly terrifying, leaving them, caught in the maelstrom of the event, shivering with fear, wrapped in a feeling of darkness.

"I know, I’m already trying to find a way."

The driver held his breath, eyes fixed on the road ahead. He knew he absolutely couldn’t be careless, he had to stay focused, everyone’s life was in his hands.

He was the hope in everyone’s heart.

Sun Jun anxiously looked back, his expression startled, searching left and right, "Where’s the Hunter? It’s not behind us anymore."

"What?"

Zhou Hongcheng was searching too, and indeed, just as Sun Jun had said, they couldn’t spot the Hunter anywhere.

They couldn’t believe they had lost the Hunter just like that. It was trailing close behind just a moment ago, how could it have suddenly disappeared.

Something’s wrong.

Definitely something is wrong.

Where did the Hunter go?

This predicament lingered over their hearts, as long as they couldn’t find the Hunter’s traces, no one could be at ease, they’d certainly feel even more anxious than before.
