"Yes, the cars stopped working shortly after the official announcement. Only a few quick-acting people managed to get away, and they're probably in a bad situation now. If the cars had stopped halfway through the journey, they probably wouldn't even have had anywhere to hide," Zhou Quan added with a look of relief.
Luckily, he didn't own a car and couldn't drive, otherwise he would have been the only one who ran away back then. He wouldn't have had such a long period of peace. He wouldn't have wanted to leave if he wasn't almost out of supplies. He was living so comfortably in that villa!
Looking at the cars everywhere on the street, Shen Muyu sighed.
Before she could even marvel at how the car had suddenly stopped, the three people behind her, caught off guard, crashed into the cage, and a series of gasps filled the air.
"What's wrong, Little A?" Shen Muyu asked as he released his spiritual power.
"There are several living people in the car ahead, and there are some very small things on the ground that I don't know what they are. I was afraid it might be a trap, so I stopped," Little A explained. It knew about the wonders of this world, but it didn't have any special abilities to explore it, so it had to stop for the time being.
Shen Muyu first saw the things on the ground, which were nails enhanced by metal-type superpowers, but the superpower level was not very high, only a level two superpower user.
Luckily, A stopped, otherwise even reinforced tires might not have been able to hold up.
Perhaps sensing something amiss, the nails on the ground suddenly flew towards the driver, indicating that the superhuman behind them had made their move.
Shen Muyu easily erased the supernatural power on it, wrapped the mental energy nail, and then turned and headed towards the cars in the two directions ahead.
Under Shen Muyu's control, all the nails were driven into the bodies of those people, and it was clear that they would not survive, especially the person with the metal-type ability, who was given special attention by Shen Muyu.
"Little A, let's keep going." Shen Muyu said indifferently, looking at the few people lying silently in the car with axes and hammers.
Although she'll only be in this world for a few days, what if some chosen one suddenly becomes powerful and seeks revenge? It would be more reassuring to just let them all lie on the floor.
Although we were traveling along the outer ring road and there weren't many buildings along the street, the number of cars on the road was terrifying.
Putting aside the attacks they encountered along the way, just the fact that they crashed into other cars caused the three people behind them a lot of trouble. In the end, they simply gave up and found an iron railing to hold on to, so as not to fly around.
Of course, not many people actually launched an attack. Many people who looked extremely down on their luck looked at Shen Muyu's car warily, afraid that they would be used as targets.
"I should have run out back then. With these cars blocking the way, the zombies can't easily get in, so the safety level is pretty high," Li Qian said to the other two. With his abilities, he should be fine as long as he doesn't encounter a large horde of zombies.
"Okay, I take back what I just said." Li Qian looked at the few people behind him who suddenly had no heads and silently shrank back inside.
Bang!
Before Shen Muyu could even release his spiritual energy, a violent impact rang out.
The iron cage behind it was dented, and several iron pillars were scratched with deep marks.
Li Qian's crystal core is still being controlled by Shen Muyu, so he can't unleash his powers at all and can only helplessly hide inside.
"This cat is really ugly," Shen Muyu said, frowning as she looked at the indescribable blob.
It was probably a house cat that was taken into the car. It had a small decorative bell around its neck, so it must have been well cared for before it died.
"I'll take you to your owner." This cat was only level four and didn't have any special abilities, so Shen Muyu easily dealt with it.
It was as if some strange switch had been flipped, and pets kept running over along the way. Fortunately, they probably didn't like coming in groups and came one by one.
Although it was a bit troublesome to handle, it did contribute a bronze resource box and a wooden resource box to Shen Muyu, both of which he dragged over while tied around his neck.
The resource box was much larger than the pets, which seriously hindered their performance. After all, the speed is probably what cats and dogs are most proud of.
"Turn right, the mountainside ahead is a popular spot for taking photos. We need to drive into the city a bit," Li Qian said over the walkie-talkie after walking for quite a while.
Shen Muyu used his mental power to look ahead a few times and saw that there were indeed many cars parked densely, many shops scattered on the stone wall, and a commercial street on the other side, with many zombies wandering around in the middle.
There must be too many people living at night, like raising poisonous insects. There are many level four zombies, and even a few level five ones.
This bad luck was definitely not to be touched, so Shen Muyu immediately instructed Xiao A to go around it as Li Qian had suggested.
After many twists and turns, Shen Muyu and Li Qian finally managed to pass through the middle section without any major incidents, thanks to their combined efforts, and arrived at the toll station on the other side.
