“Damn it! Get lost! If you don’t move, I’ll run you over!” As he spoke, the driver actually jerked the steering wheel, instantly knocking the girl to the ground.

The girl let out a sharp scream and fell heavily to the ground, while another girl stumbled as well.

“Are you okay?” The girl hurried over to help the fallen girl up.

The two girls looked at the car speeding away, both faces pale and filled with utter despair.

Inside the minibus, William Carter witnessed the scene and frowned. But just then, he suddenly let out a “Huh?”

The girl who had been knocked down looked somewhat familiar...

After hesitating for a moment, William Carter suddenly spun the steering wheel and made a U-turn.

“Shit!”

All the cars behind were desperately speeding forward. Forget about turning around—no one even dared to stop. Those who did stop were already being attacked by zombies, unable to see anything ahead, just slamming the gas pedal until they crashed into a utility pole or a guardrail.

But soon, they would be dragged out through the shattered windows and devoured alive while half-conscious.

In this situation, everyone was frantically trying to escape. Who would even think of turning back? That’s just asking for death!

When everyone is struggling to survive, all they care about is saving themselves. Who would risk their life to play the hero?

William Carter knew this well. In the apocalypse, your own life is the most important thing. As for saving others, that’s only something to consider once you’re sure you’re safe.

But for William Carter, with his bulletproof base vehicle, rescuing these two girls wasn’t difficult. As long as he stayed inside the vehicle, he was safe—even if surrounded by countless zombies, he had nothing to fear.

What’s more, he actually knew that girl, though not very well.

With the guidance and data correction from the Star Seed, William Carter managed to skillfully turn around even in this situation, weaving through the traffic and heading straight for the two girls.

In the hundreds of meters of traffic, only this minibus was going against the flow.

By now, the two girls had already resigned themselves to fate. The nearest zombies were less than a hundred meters away. Even if they kept running, they’d be caught in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the traffic ahead, both girls couldn’t help but cry. They held each other’s hands tightly, waiting for death in despair and terror.

But just then, they saw a minibus charging straight toward them. Amidst a sea of car rears, this vehicle going the wrong way was extremely eye-catching.

Were they about to be run over?

Well, better to be run over than eaten alive.

The two girls slowly closed their eyes.

“Screeeech—!”

A sharp screech and a gust of wind made the girls open their eyes again.

They saw the minibus swerve sharply right in front of them, stopping with the door right at their feet. At that moment, the door was wide open!

In the driver’s seat, a young man who looked like a student was waving at them anxiously, shouting, “Quick! Get in!”

“Grrr! Grrr!”

A dozen zombies had already noticed them and were charging over madly.

The girl who had fallen snapped out of her daze and quickly pulled her companion. “Hurry, get in!”

As she scrambled in after her friend, the zombies were already upon them.

“Bang!”

A zombie slammed hard into the door. The two girls collapsed onto the steps inside, turning to see the doorway packed with snarling faces pressed against the glass, baring their teeth and howling, their fingers clawing and pounding on the window.

The two girls were still in shock, their hearts pounding as if they were about to leap out of their throats.

Chapter 9: Zombies Surround the Vehicle

“We’re saved...” The two girls felt as if they were dreaming, having just walked the line between life and death.

Who would have thought that just when they thought they were doomed, a car would suddenly rush over to save them?

The girl who had fallen was gasping for breath, clutching the handrail as she struggled to speak between breaths, “Thank you... thank you! Really, thank you so much!”

“You’re welcome,” William Carter replied.

“If it weren’t for you, we... we’d be dead for sure...” The girl finally caught her breath, then turned to look at her savior.

In her rush to get in, she hadn’t even seen the driver’s face. But now, as she looked, she was stunned.

“You...”

“We meet again. What a coincidence.” William Carter smiled at them and said calmly.

This girl was the receptionist from the car rental company earlier, named Grace Walker.

“Grace, do you know him?” The other girl immediately looked delighted.

Grace Walker looked at William Carter, and suddenly a figure flashed through her mind. She immediately remembered, “Ah! You’re the customer who rented the minibus! Mr. Carter!”
