William Carter’s behavior at the time was very bold. He had come to rent a car without a driver’s license and even said he only wanted the car to keep it parked. All of this left a very deep impression on Grace Walker, which is why she was able to recognize William Carter now.
However, she hadn’t expected that William Carter would actually still remember her name, and that he would take such a big risk to turn back and save her and her friend.
“You actually still remember me…”
“I have a pretty good memory,” William Carter said. Although he wasn’t quite at the level of photographic memory, as long as he’d exchanged a few words with someone—or even just seen them once—he would usually have some impression when meeting them again.
“Thank you!” Grace Walker was deeply moved inside. Even if William Carter only remembered her because of his good memory, the fact that he came back to save them already filled Grace Walker with gratitude.
“But I thought you couldn’t drive…” Only now did Grace Walker finally manage to stand up from the steps with the help of the handrail, and she pulled her friend up and stepped into the vehicle.
As soon as she saw the inside of the vehicle, Grace Walker was instantly stunned, and the other girl even cried out, “Oh my god!”
“What brand of luxury RV is this?!” The girl was shocked. The interior was so exquisitely decorated, it felt just like a five-star hotel.
“It’s not any brand, it’s just the minibus Miss Wen rented to me,” William Carter replied without even turning his head.
The girl immediately looked at Grace Walker, but Grace Walker also had a stunned expression, clearly just as clueless.
“Does your company have cars this luxurious?” The girl remembered that the place where Grace Walker worked part-time was just a very small car rental company—how could they have a vehicle like this?
Grace Walker was also taken aback: “No, Mr. Jiang rented a car from us, but it was just an ordinary minibus…”
But as she said this, she stopped herself, her mouth opening wider and wider, her face showing disbelief.
She suddenly recalled that when she saw this vehicle charging toward them just now, it really was an unremarkable, ordinary minibus. Thinking about it carefully, it did look like the one the company rented to William Carter.
But that vehicle and this luxurious RV in front of her—aside from the exterior—didn’t have a single thing in common.
Just as Grace Walker was finding it all unbelievable, a muffled “bang” suddenly sounded, and the whole vehicle shook.
The two girls quickly turned to look out the door, and were instantly chilled to the bone by what they saw outside.
Outside the door, even more zombies were crowding in, and more were gathering around. Even without looking out the windows, it was obvious what the situation was.
There were simply too many zombies. They had completely blocked the door, with countless bloodstained hands and ferocious faces pressed up against it.
Under their pushing and pounding, the door kept shaking, making creaking noises.
“These monsters, they’re about to break in…” The girl’s lips were trembling.
Grace Walker’s face was also deathly pale. She quickly ran to the driver’s seat and asked, “Mr. Jiang, hurry up and drive!”
Seeing the situation at the driver’s seat—especially the dashboard, with all those high-tech looking buttons and levers—Grace Walker was startled again, but now was not the time to worry about that.
As she spoke, she also noticed that William Carter was operating the controls with a serious expression, repeatedly stepping on the gas, but the minibus was moving extremely slowly. In front of the vehicle, zombies were packed tightly together. In just a few seconds, the reversing minibus was completely surrounded by zombies.
“There are too many zombies,” William Carter said.
Grace Walker’s heart sank, and she said sadly, “Mr. Jiang, if it weren’t for saving us…”
“All right, you’d better find something to hold on to,” William Carter said. He had already anticipated this outcome when he decided to turn back.
Grace Walker nodded. She couldn’t help with anything here; the only thing she could do was follow William Carter’s instructions.
“Sarah Cooper, grab the handrail!” Grace Walker quickly ran back to relay William Carter’s instructions to the girl.
“This glass won’t hold much longer…” Sarah Cooper’s expression was now completely hopeless, but Grace Walker forcibly grabbed her hand and placed it on the nearby handrail.
The door kept making terrifying noises. Grace Walker gripped the handrail, her eyes wide with fear as she looked at the zombies outside. Not only the door, but the whole vehicle was echoing with “bang bang” pounding and the howls of zombies, making it feel like the vehicle could fall apart at any moment.
At this moment, William Carter was using the calculations of the Star Seed to analyze several possible escape methods.
Besides its defensive capabilities, the minibus had several other functions. It was precisely because of these that William Carter dared to turn back.
“All right, let’s try this function,” William Carter made up his mind.
“Hold on tight, we’re going to break out!” William Carter said without turning his head.
