When the van stopped at a roadblock, several people emerged from the bushes and quickly pulled the roadblock aside for the van to drive in.

Before those people could place the roadblock back into place, Zhan Yun rushed in with one foot on the accelerator and directly followed the van in front of him.

The men on the road chased two steps behind the car and appeared to be cursing.

Thinking of the zombie horde that was following them, Zheng Jiahe opened the trunk and shouted to the men, “The zombies are coming! Get out of here!”

The men subconsciously glanced at the road in the distance, and sure enough, many shadows were staggering in their direction.

With a cry of surprise, the men immediately jumped into a car hidden behind the bushes and caught up quickly.

The van drove straight along the road for nearly a kilometer and finally stopped in front of the door of a factory.

At this familiar factory building, Su Ruizhe narrowed his eyes slightly.

The iron door of the factory slowly opened and several young people came out, carrying flashlights and iron bars in their hands.

The door of the van also opened, and a thin, monkey-like man came down from the front seat, nodded and waited for the other young men. He opened the back trunk and brought out boxes of mineral water and packs of milk powder.

The young man nodded and took half of the goods, which allowed the skinny monkey man to drive in.

Then they glimpsed an off-road vehicle coming in their direction, and after they saw the model, their eyes brightened. They had not seen many such luxury cars before the apocalypse. The thick steel plate was obviously very strong.

The young man, who was the leader, turned back and whispered a few words to a younger brother beside him. The younger brother immediately rushed back to the factory. Zhan Yun did not know who was going to be informed of their arrival.

Then the young man, with a kind smile, approached the driver’s seat and asked Zhan Yun, “Do you want to join us in our safety zone?”

“This is a safety zone?”

The young man looked at him with a dumbfounded look and said, “You didn’t know? Then how did you get here?”

“I followed the car in front of us. He didn’t know how to avoid a group of zombies and almost hit us. Then we had no other choice but to follow him here.”

When the young man heard about the zombies, he had a slight change on his face. He motioned to another younger brother to go in and notify the person in charge. He shifted to a business-like appearance and said, “No matter how you came here, in short, this is a safety zone established by Zhang Ge. You have to pay the entry fee to get in.”

“How much is the entry fee?”

“According to the person in charge, a person's fee is equal to five kilograms of grain.” The young man looked into the car and shook his head gently. “How many of you are there… If the grain can’t be handed in, it’s also possible to trade using the car. Zhang Ge just wants to find a car.”

“Who is this Zhang Ge?”

“You don’t know Zhang Ge? He’s an ability user! His strength is infinite, he can tear the zombies apart by hand! This safety zone was built by Zhang Ge!”

“Oh? A powerful person? It looks great.” Zhan Yun perfunctorily responded, “How many ability users do you have in your safety zone?”

“Do you think ability users grow like Chinese cabbage? Can you just go and grab a handful?! Of course not! There's only Zhang Ge! Zhang Ge is so fierce that one of him is enough! ”

Zhan Yun and the others sneered in their hearts. These people were really frogs in the bottom of the well…

At this time, the car carrying the guards following him also caught up. The few people in charge of guarding the roadblock were panicked out of their minds, shouting, “Quick! Here come the zombies! Get in! Go in!”

Zhan Yun’s off-road vehicle was blocking the road in front of them, and the other car couldn’t get in. They could only try to rush forward anxiously and desperately.

The young man had also heard the roar of the zombies. He was a little panicked, and he could no longer afford to negotiate the price of entrance with Zhan Yun. He urged them to drive the car into the factory and then closed the iron door.

After seven or eight locks were placed on the iron door, the young man seemed to feel more at ease. He began to look at the people who had come down from the car.

Except for the two tall men who came down from the front seats, the rest of the people did not seem to have much fighting power, especially the teenager with a three-year-old child and the woman with a bandage on her hand.

Ah, two people with a team of sick women and children…

Only two of the seven were useful. The younger and the more burdensome they were, the more contemptuous the treatment they received was. It was only the thought of the luxury SUV that persuaded the survivors to let them in.

In a twinkling of an eye, the zombies began beating at the iron gates of the factory in a frenzy, scratching their claws through the cracks in the railings, trying to grab at the delicious food.

Many torches were mounted on the factory walls to brighten the area. Many people heard the movement and came out of the factory’s rooms and gathered in the open space in the center of the factory. They looked out at the grim zombies with fear.

Su Ruizhe picked out the two familiar faces mingled in with the crowd at a glance. Uncle Su Qiming and Aunt Chen Huizhen were indeed here. Only in this life, without Su Ruizhe and Zhan Yun's protection, they looked a little worse than they had in the past life.

Chen Huizhen’s chubby figure has obviously thinned down, her cheeks were dry, her hair was messy, and she has no spirit at all. Su Qiming’s back was also ricketed down and his hair grew grey.

In his previous life, after Su Ruizhe was bitten by a zombie, he was also brought here by Zhan Yun, who had used the factory as a temporary base. Because it was a food processing factory, there was some food stocked up. The geographical location was also good, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

When he was rescued by Zhan Yun, he activated his ability after awakening. With the advantage of being an ability user, he received many favors, and his uncle’s family became the biggest beneficiary.

However, in this life, they were just ordinary people who had no support. They might have handed over food just to enter this base. Nowadays, Su Ruizhe was happy when he saw that they were not doing well.

What could be said in this situation?

‘I’m relieved to see that you’re having a hard time.’

Zhan Yun was standing in the doorway. Behind him was a luxury car, and Su Ruizhe, a white-skinned man, stood there with a sharp eye. Chen Huizhen saw him at a glance. When Su Ruizhe’s eyes met hers, he immediately turned his head away in disgust and pretended not to have seen them.

In the end, as his lover, Zhan Yun habitually paid attention to Su Ruizhe, so he noticed that he was not in a good mood. Following Su Ruizhe's gaze, he also saw Chen Huizhen, and his heart was calm.

At this time, a strong man with a beard and a cigarette in his mouth came out slowly from the independent dormitory building behind the factory building, surrounded by a crowd of people.

“Zhang Ge!” Seeing the bearded man, the young man immediately squeezed out a pleasant smile and gathered up to tell him about the zombies. He pointed at Zhan Yun.

Following Sun Ming’s finger, Zhang Maorong saw the luxury car, followed by the small group of people standing in front of it. But he was not as short-sighted as Sun Ming. Although these people looked very weak, they were clean and seemed to have a different mental outlook compared to the people in his safety zone. Their eyes were especially calm, as if the zombies screaming outside the iron gate did not exist at all.

“I’m called Zhang Maorong. How should I address you?” Zhang Maorong stood before Zhan Yun and the others.

“Zhan Yun” Zhan Yun answered lightly, but did not introduce the rest of the group standing behind him..

Zhang Maorong also saw that among these people, Zhan Yun was the one in charge, so he did not care. With his thick arm, he took a wooden stick from the hand behind him and broke it with a strong hand.

“Do you have any abilities?”

It was not only a provocation, but also a trial.

“I don’t have any special abilities.”

After that was said, the temperature in Zhang Maorong’s eyes instantly cooled down. If he wasn't an ability user, then he would be useless!

“But I have this.” Zhan Yun said and drew a gun from his back.

Zhang Maorong’s face changed immediately. Even though he was a physical-type ability user, he was still made of flesh and blood. He could still be injured, bleed, and die. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t defend himself against bullets.

He tried hard to comfort himself. Maybe the other side’s gun was just a bluff. Although he didn’t know how the other side got the gun, bullets were always limited. At that point, the gun wouldn't be as good as his own ability.

As if to prove that his gun was not a bluff, Zhan Yun fired a shot at the zombie in the doorway, accurately hitting and causing the head of the zombie to explode.

“Fortunately, I have a gun and a lot of bullets.”

“Hahaha, that’s great!” Zhang Maorong laughed, “With the help of Brother Zhan, we’re sure to be able to wipe out these zombies.”

If you knew how to contribute, you’ll be considered a brother.

Zhan Yun nodded irrefutably. Anyways, these zombies had to be taken care of.

The author has something to say:

[Small theatre on the street]

Zheng Jiahe: Now I am a technology nerd, right?

Song Chengshu: Aren't you a geek?

Zheng Jiahe: Weak chicken handyman Song! Haven’t you ever seen a geeky technology nerd? I am a geek with all kinds of abilities!

Song Chengshu: Oh, this kind of thinking is amazing.

Zheng Jiahe: I feel slight contempt from your tone!

Song Chengshu: Good! At least you can tell!

Zhan Xiaoyun: Don’t make any noise! Another cannon fodder was delivered to the door.

Zheng Jiahe: Humph! Song weak chicken, I'll let you see how powerful this technology nerd is!

Song Chengshu: Oh, I’m sorry. I’m a miscellaneous person. I don’t have much vision. Are you more powerful than the boss or more lethal than Su Xiaozhe? Is it better than Liang Ge or Jing Jie? Is it cuter than Dongdong or better than Xiao Hei?

Zheng Jiahe: Boss, can I get rid of this weak chicken before I hit the cannon fodder?
