Lin Ye tried to use the dinosaur's body instincts to help Xivia clear the surrounding plants, but the dinosaur's body was far slower at clearing plants than Xivia. Getting in the way would be worse than just staying on the side and speeding up the absorption of the gray-white mist.

"What should we do? I feel like we're about to be surrounded."

Mia looked at the constantly shrinking encirclement and those menacing giant plants, speaking with some worry.

"It's fine, I can hold on for a long time. As long as we can get back over there, we can leave this area from that side."

Xivia didn't need to do anything at all; her body could automatically complete all the steps before an attack for her.

"I'm not worried about these plants. The remaining time for this trip is almost up. The problem is what we should do next time we come over here. This damn thing seems to have latched onto us."

Lin Ye hoped to find an opportunity to deal with it.

But the problem now is, they have no idea what it is, nor do they know the method to deal with it.

"This is indeed troublesome, but we're a bit busy right now. We can only think about it later."

Xivia continuously destroyed the approaching plants. After a certain breath, they switched back to the city streets again.

"This is near the university district. Let's find a police car first, then go take a look at that X-mark location."

Lin Ye quickly determined their location and planned their course of action.

"Wait a moment, there seems to be something over there."

Mia suddenly pointed towards a street corner and said.

The three of them stopped. Xivia raised the submachine gun she carried with her. Over here, they didn't have that ability to attack enemies out of thin air.

A headless corpse walked out from the street corner. That corpse seemed to be able to see them, swaying unsteadily as it walked towards them.

"Don't mind it, get in the car."

Lin Ye found a battle-damaged sports car with keys in the ignition. Thinking of that weird half-body monster from before, he didn't want to engage with these monsters at all now.

Mia and Xivia got in the car. Lin Ye floored the accelerator, starting to speed down the empty streets.

The corpse wasn't fast and was quickly left behind by the sports car.

"That's it? We lost it just like that? I thought it would suddenly speed up and chase us."

Mia kept looking back to check the situation behind them.

"The weakness of this type of monster might be that it's slow. That monster in the hospital before could be burned to death with Molotov cocktails. As long as you find the right way to deal with them, you can easily handle these monsters."

Xivia thought back to the scene when she and her teammates entered the hospital. Pistol bullets couldn't stop those monsters made of flesh and blood from approaching. In the end, all her teammates were swallowed by those Fleshy Monsters. If Lin Ye hadn't come to save her, she would have become part of that giant fleshy monster too.

"Right, we will definitely get out of here alive."

After the conversation with Lin Ye Number Two, Lin Ye had developed some conjectures that needed verification.

Those piled-up car crash scenes in the middle of the road seemed to have been cleared by something, leaving a passageway wide enough for vehicles to pass through. Lin Ye drove forward along the passageway and soon found a police car parked by the roadside.

"Is it the military coming to rescue?"

Mia didn't think those monsters would take the time to clear the roads.

"Doesn't feel like it. If the military passed through, they should have left some things to guide survivors out. Besides, there's that chasm outside. What military could get in here to clear roads?"

Thinking of that giant fleshy monster staying on the first floor of the hospital, Xivia didn't think the situation was that optimistic.

"Don't overthink it. Whether there's a military or not, we still have to survive."

Lin Ye drove the police car straight towards the location marked with the X.

Since the road had been cleared, it didn't take long for them to get close to that location.

"I found another headless corpse. This is already the seventeenth one."

Mia had sharp eyes. Even from a moving police car, she could see things inside buildings by the roadside through the windows.

"It seems these headless corpses are distributed over a wide area."

Lin Ye turned into a street. This was a main road a full forty meters wide. In the middle of the road, there was something that looked very strange.

It was an unfinished building. The structure of the building looked very peculiar, like a very abstract piece of modern art.

"Is this... some kind of building?"

Xivia asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Probably. It looks unfinished. And why is it in the middle of the road?"

Lin Ye parked the police car outside the building. They had just gotten out of the car when they saw several citizens holding firearms rush out from inside the building.

"Don't move! Hand over your weapons!"

Those people aimed their guns at them. The three of them hid behind the police car. Xivia and Lin Ye also aimed their gun muzzles at the other side.

"You'd better not act rashly. We have a police officer here whose marksmanship can be called a hundred percent accurate. One burst of fire can wipe you all out."

Mia said very arrogantly.

"That's right. We're wearing bulletproof vests and using submachine guns. You simply cannot threaten us. There aren't many survivors left in the city. You don't need to die here."

Lin Ye also spoke up.

Hearing their words, some people on the other side clearly wavered, but there were also ruthless types among them who didn't waver at all.

"Don't listen to their nonsense! As long as you hit the head, no bulletproof vest is any use! The Shelter space is only that big. If they come in, someone has to go out. Anyway, I don't want to go out and face those monsters!"

A middle-aged bald, burly man with tattoos on both arms, who didn't look like a good person at all, shouted loudly.

A young man standing in a corner suddenly fired a shot at Lin Ye.

Before the young man pulled the trigger, Lin Ye had already dodged his muzzle and pulled the trigger at those people.

Xivia didn't hesitate in the slightest. Before the other side fired, she had already emptied the magazine of her gun.

And her marksmanship was astonishingly good, completely living up to the boasts from Mia and Lin Ye.

Those people on the other side only fired two shots in total before being cleaned up by Xivia and Lin Ye's two magazines.

This was Lin Ye's first time firing a gun. Although his marksmanship was average, the distance was close enough, and he was using a submachine gun, a weapon with relatively low recoil, so most of the bullets he fired hit their marks.

Xivia was even more exaggerated. Every bullet she fired hit an enemy in the head, almost every shot a headshot. If she weren't wearing a police uniform, Lin Ye would have thought she was the legendary retired urban special forces king.

Mia walked out from behind the police car. She had also secretly fired a few shots just now, with a not-low hit rate either.

"Too bad. We finally ran into a few survivors, but their brains weren't that good."

Lin Ye walked towards that strange building, but as he passed by those corpses, he suddenly took a step back.

A corpse climbed up from the ground. Its head was already gone.
