85: Chapter 85 will hold an unexpected surprise.

It was as if they had formed a massive circle, with only Ye Qingqing's recreational vehicle at the center.

The question in Ye Qingqing's mind grew even stronger.

What kind of delicacy was this, that made these zombies attack a single target as if they were organized and disciplined?

Ye Qingqing took a deep breath. The continuously rising temperature had baked the entire interior of the recreational vehicle until it was scorching hot.

She even felt that the Air Conditioner was completely useless.

At this moment, the sun was climbing higher and higher, and the temperature outside the recreational vehicle was also rising. Although there was an Air Conditioner and ice inside the vehicle,

Ye Qingqing still felt uncomfortably hot all over.

On top of that, the fever-reducing pill she had taken earlier seemed to be taking effect.

Combined with the sun's intense heat, Ye Qingqing felt only drowsiness, dizziness, and a throbbing head.

It was at this moment that Ye Qingqing suddenly understood why the protagonists in some Post-Apocalyptic World novels preferred to travel in groups.

Because traveling alone was far too inconvenient.

Before, she had Ah Huang to accompany her.

He could help relieve the boredom. Although Ah Huang couldn't speak, he was clever and knew how to use his paws and body movements to tell Ye Qingqing what he meant.

He was considered a companion.

But now, Ah Huang had already fainted alone in the back of the recreational vehicle.

Ye Qingqing took a deep breath and took out a significant amount of ice from her space, placing it around the driver's seat.

All to lower the temperature around the driver's seat.

To keep her mind clear.

The horde of zombies was getting closer and closer to Ye Qingqing's recreational vehicle. Getting out to fight them now was impossible.

Moreover, even entering her space and then coming back out was impossible.

Because it was highly likely these zombies would simply stand still, unmoving, after Ye Qingqing took the recreational vehicle and Ah Huang inside.

Ye Qingqing couldn't afford to wait them out, so she had to rule out entering her space as an option.

Ye Qingqing's eyes darkened, her gaze fixed firmly ahead.

So, only one method remained now.

That was, to charge through.

Ye Qingqing took another deep breath, then stomped hard on the accelerator. The entire recreational vehicle shot forward like an arrow.

Even Ye Qingqing was somewhat surprised.

She had originally thought this recreational vehicle was rather ordinary, but she never expected it to be so effective. Its speed truly exceeded her imagination.

Now, it was just a matter of seeing what would happen when the recreational vehicle collided with these zombies.

The performance of this recreational vehicle was still quite good. A simple collision shouldn't be a major problem.

Ye Qingqing gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, her eyes fixed intently ahead. The moment the recreational vehicle made contact with the zombies, Ye Qingqing clearly heard a shriek erupt from the zombies' mouths.

No, it didn't sound like a shriek. It was more like the roar that would come from someone pushed to the absolute peak of fury.

Except this roar, coming from a zombie's mouth, was hoarse and shrill.

Hearing it sent an involuntary chill down one's spine.

Compounded by the fact that Ye Qingqing's mind was already foggy and heavy,

the stimulus of the zombies' sound made her head ache even more.

However, something even more headache-inducing for Ye Qingqing arrived.

These zombies' bodies seemed to have evolved. The first signs had appeared back when the floods first began and they could swim.

Now, after being hit by the recreational vehicle, some zombies were knocked to the ground, emitting sharp, screeching cries. Others were flung onto the roof of the vehicle. These zombies not only didn't fall off the roof,

they clung tightly to the recreational vehicle.

No matter how fast Ye Qingqing drove, she couldn't shake them off.

Judging by their posture, it looked like they wanted to tear the roof right off Ye Qingqing's recreational vehicle.

After breaking through that wave of zombies, the scene before her eyes once again filled Ye Qingqing with shock.

Because after breaking through one circle of zombies, Ye Qingqing discovered that the zombies ahead hadn't decreased in number; instead, there were even more.

No, it should be said there were always this many zombies, but they had been blocked from view by the ones in front.

Ye Qingqing couldn't see the zombies behind.

The entire zombie horde surged toward Ye Qingqing's direction in a mighty tide.

The entire recreational vehicle was the target of these zombies.

Ye Qingqing swallowed hard.

If she couldn't break through the current situation, the only option left would be to take the recreational vehicle and Ah Huang and hide in her space.

However, unless it was absolutely the last resort, Ye Qingqing didn't dare to try that lightly.

Now that she was on land, it wasn't like being on the water. She couldn't afford to waste time in her space recklessly.

Ye Qingqing was out of ideas now. With a forceful press of her foot, she floored the accelerator.

Meanwhile, another group of people who had come looking for Ye Qingqing also saw the zombie tide over here.

Huo Sixian stood at the very front of the group, his gaze burning as he stared at the commotion on the hillside.

Huo Sixian, Lu Huan, Meng Hangfei, and Kong Ziyi were all wearing extremely thorough sun-protective clothing.

They had originally set out last night.

But then the extreme high temperatures suddenly occurred.

Huo Sixian and the others had no choice but to retreat to the base first to discuss their next steps.

They hadn't expected this delay to last until this morning.

Huo Sixian felt a stir in his heart, also worrying about Ye Qingqing.

The area outside the base was different from inside.

Inside the base, at least basic living conditions were available.

And now, with the outbreak of extreme heat, Huo Sixian had a growing intuition that the one who had been piloting the helicopter earlier was Ye Qingqing.

Lu Huan thought Huo Sixian was probably insane to come looking for a helicopter that had come from Haicheng.

But seeing that Huo Sixian could eat on his own now and showed an intention to be active again,

the others didn't say anything.

Human resources were tight now. Taking other people out to search for Ye Qingqing was simply impossible.

Huo Sixian had originally wanted to come out alone to look for Ye Qingqing, but Lu Huan and the others were worried about him.

So they proposed coming out with Huo Sixian.

From a great distance, Huo Sixian saw the hillside ahead. As the zombies swarmed it, he used his binoculars and seemed to spot a moving recreational vehicle.

Just then, Kong Ziyi beside him also noticed it and exclaimed, "Look, northwest 45°, there's a moving recreational vehicle."

Lu Huan let out a cry of surprise, "Holy moly, is this person's courage too great? Driving right through a zombie tide, aren't they afraid the zombies will flip the vehicle?"

But Huo Sixian's brow furrowed tightly. A clear intuition told him that rescuing that vehicle would bring an unexpected surprise.

Huo Sixian looked up at the increasingly large sun overhead and spoke in a hoarse, low voice.

"Fire a signal flare to the southeast. Make sure it's the kind with a loud report."
