When Xiaoyun and Kate left the tent together, all of the soldiers had already packed up everything.

As the two of them finished packing up, all of them had finished eating breakfast.

The two didn''t force the soldiers to wait as they skipped breakfast and started marching alongside them.

Morning soon turned into noon as Xiaoyun, along with the army, could finally see the bridge in the distance.

After a short lunch break, everyone was pumped up as they walked past a small city section before arriving at an empty field nearby.

Several trucks were already parked there, with soldiers all heading over there to get their supplies.

A small camp quickly formed as the 12th Division unloaded all the building material from the truck and started building.

Meanwhile, the 13th Division was already building up the basic defense of the bridge.

With sandbags and hundreds of thousands of heavy machine guns, there was simply not a single gap down the road.

The 14th Division was all the way in the back, setting up the artillery and making space for a small temporary airfield.

Next, the 16th Division wasn''t near the bridge at all. Instead, they were all headed towards the nearby buildings.

Their job was to disperse all the nearby populations, even though the record stated that less than a hundred people lived nearby.

With everything coming together, Xiaoyun and Kate themselves weren''t near any of the Divisions.

Instead, they were halfway on the bridge, trying to pass all the rubble to reach the other side.

"Jesus, this car is so damn hard to climb," Kate complained as her hand kept on slipping.

"Just hold onto my hand."

As Kate jumped and grabbed Xiaoyun''s hand, she was slowly lifted to the top of the car.

"Why are we trying to get to the other side?" Kate curiously asked.

"I just want to have a look at it myself... Having a binocular looking at it in the distance doesn''t tell the full picture."

"Whatever..."

As Xiaoyun jumped down to continue advancing, he finally encountered the biggest challenge on this bridge.

A flipped-over semi-truck that had been all burnt up, with sharp, rusty edges that can definitely give someone tetanus if they get cuts.

"How do we get through this one?"

Kate asked as another burnt-up semi-truck was lying on the other side of the bridge, leaving them completely stuck.

"Just follow me."

Seeing Xiaoyun suddenly climbing over the bridge fences, Kate immediately panicked for a second.

However, as he moved past the tuck, she quickly realized there was a slight ledge on the side that allowed him to stand diagonally.

With his back facing the ocean right below, Kate''s heart started uncontrollably beating faster and faster.

Just as she was about to climb over the fence to begin sliding towards him, he suddenly started sliding back.

"What''s wrong?"

"The ledges doesn''t extend all the way... Let me just come up with a different idea instead."

"I''m going to bust it open."

Kate squeezed his hand twice, indicating she was ready, as a gun barrel could be seen floating in the air.

After the two separated, Xiaoyun quickly turned around against the door before putting his foot against it.

With a strong backward kick, the locked door popped right open, revealing a small, dark figure inside.

Xiaoyun immediately ran a few steps back, with Katherine doing the same as they watched the small, dark figure in the distance.

After standing there for almost a whole minute, the figure didn''t seem to move a single bit.

"Why is it not moving?" Kate murmured, as the skin on the dark figure looked like that of a zombie.

"Maybe it starved to death inside or something."

As Xiaoyun approached closer with his gun in hand, he soon realized why the dark figure didn''t move at all.

It was just a prop that looked like a zombie, and everything else in the room was Halloween decorations of some sort.

"Fuck for sake."

As the two of them both lowered their gun and turned off their invisible cloak, they couldn''t believe a statue had just tricked them.

"Stupid statue."

Just as Kate was about to kick it in anger, Xiaoyun suddenly noticed the statue''s eye''s color changing.

Within seconds, he pulled her back last second before pulling his gun out and firing several shots.

"What was that for?" Kate asked in confusion as she looked over at him with a slight anger.

"That isn''t a statue... I''m 100% that thing is living."

As Kate turned around and examined the statue again, she quickly realized it was bleeding down green blood from its head.

"What kind of zombies is that?" Kate asked, unable to believe she had almost fallen for the trap.

"I don''t know... It''s probably some sort of mutant... Anyway, let''s go now."

Kate quickly turned around and followed him all the way back to the outside before he stopped again.

"Wait, there''s a car nearby."

The two immediately walked to the sidewalk, standing still as they waited for the car to arrive.

After waiting for a minute, the car finally arrived as it parked right outside the convenience store.

Four people jumped right out of the car, two men and two women, both having one young and one much older, fully armed to the teeth.

From their makeshift gears, it was clear they were just some sort of survival group.

Xiaoyun and Kate both quickly approached the four of them, walking just close enough to hear what they were saying.

"I''m so hungry!" One of the women complained as she grabbed a bag of chips from the shelf and opened it.

"Be quiet. You literally just ate a few hours ago, " A much older man murmured as he grabbed several of the foods on the shelf.

"Boss, I think there''s someone that had been here." A young woman yelled from the inside.
