My MCV And The Apocalypse 7 Leaving Jiangbei

Some streets were so stuffed with vehicles that he couldn't pa.s.s through, even with brute force. The cars just weren't in positions where they could be pushed to the sides. Every now and then he would come across people looting the nearby shops, people fleeing from zombies, zombies pursuing people, and zombies eating people.

Bang! Bang! Scrouach!!

Zombies were knocked back or aside by the plow. Their bones would shatter and their bodies burst open as they went under the wheels, leaving a twitching and spasming b.l.o.o.d.y mess behind.

For Jiang Lius.h.i.+, there was nothing more heart-rending than seeing a mother with her baby being cornered by zombies, and being eaten alive. To hear the mother beg for help while her child in her arms was crying. To hear her scream of pain as the zombies tore her flesh. To hear the strident screeching of the baby as the zombies bit him. Or her. He would never know. He was disgustingly relieved when the shout suddenly ended less than 2 seconds later.

He didn't know how he managed to stay on the road, utterly schocked by what he had just witnessed. He got dizzy, and nearly fainted. He didn't know how he had refrained from throwing up, or p.i.s.sing himself.

He had been powerless to do anything about it. He was too far, the zombies were too many and too close to the mother-child duo. He knew people would die, he had seen many people die and did a good job holding himself together. But in the movies, they don't show you the children and the babies when they are attacked. They only show adults and teenagers.

It was one of the many horrifying scenes that would give him nightmares during the following weeks, and haunt him until the day he died. As he advanced on the roads, some people would beg him to stop and take them along. Several times he would falter, before steeling himself and continue onward. He couldn't afford to take care of strangers yet.

One of those people who got close to beg when he saw the approaching customized truck got tackled from behind by a zombie. Both of them fell right in front of his truck before he could react, and he winced as he felt the wheels pa.s.s over their bodies. It was one thing to run over zombies. It was another to run over a normal person. Even though in China there were quite a few people that didn't care to kill people with their vehicles, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ wasn't one of them.

"Bhuhuu!! Ksuu."

He suddenly burst in tears, temporary losing control of his truck and cras.h.i.+ng into a few vehicles parked on the side. He was barely able to hold on after witnessing the baby's death. Killing an innocent, even by accident, even if he was already condemned, was too much.

He had to slow down as his vision was impaired by the tears in his eyes. Tears that rolled down his face in large amount, as his body trembled with each sob. But he had to continue forward. The zombies that had gotten close and were banging on the body of the truck, helped to bring him back to the task at hand.

As he got used to the horrible sight, his though went back to Li Yuxin. He wondered if she had resisted the virus, and if she did, he wondered if her escort was of any use and they managed to flee, or if the trip had been aborted and she had been forced to take shelter in a nearby building. He was very afraid for her. He though about Zhuying as well. He hoped shed hadn't brough anyone in her room with her, and that she had properly secured it.

He moved toward Shenbei Entrance. While Li Yuxin told him to go there to go to Shenhai Island, the reason he went there was because it was also on the way to Nanjing City. Also, since there would be a military presence there, he though it would be less packed, as they would want the way clear to evacuate VIPs, like Li Yuxin family. The closer he got, the more survivors he found. Most of them were driving cars, but there were still a lot of people moving on foot. With so many people gathering there, it caused a congestion.

Everyone who laid their eyes on his truck couldn't help but gawk. The vehicle was intimidating, with its b.l.o.o.d.y plow at the front, 8 b.l.o.o.d.y wheels, scratches and dark color. They could tell it went through zombies, and whoever was inside had it made specifically for the event of the day. They though it must have been some rich guy with connections. They looked at it with envy and caution, and some drivers made room for him to pa.s.s. Seeing the greedy looks in some people's faces, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ though he had to get his hands on some weapons and military-grade armor soon. People were going to try and take over his MCV, and he wanted to be ready to smack them down.

A commotion started far behind ammong the people on foot. It soon turned into scream of fear. He observed what was going on with the rear camera, and saw a swarm of zombies moving toward them in the distance. They were advancing between and on top of car, sometimes stopping to attack the people inside.

Everyone started to rush forward, being the people on foot or in the cars. Some tried to cut lines, but those who tried to cut him were quickly pushed aside by his truck. Still, they were moving too slowly to escape the zombies. People were running and pus.h.i.+ng themselves, the unlucky or weak ones falling, being trampled by others and finished by the ravenous zombies. The area had become incredibly noisy with the screams, the car engines reving, the horns. Added to that were the mist and the smell of fire and blood carried by the wind, and the whole picture had become quite chaotic.

He suddenly caught a glimpse of a car, which wanted to squeeze from the front of his truck, while two girls around his age were running alongside that car knocking his rear door desperately.

"Please, open the door and let us in!"

"Help us! Please!"

The two girls looked scared, they must have sought help from other vehicles before, but none of them had stopped. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looking at this scene grimly. While he was escaping, he left many people to die because the zombies were too close to them, and also because he didn't want to take risks with strangers.

However, the car did not slow down, instead it accelerated. The two girls could only try their best to run.

"Dear driver, please just open the door, please!"

The door was locked, and they simply could not open it… Soon after the driver turned his face angrily and cursed.

"f.u.c.k, let me go!"

One of the girls suddenly sped up; reaching his driving window she tapped it.

"f.u.c.k off b.i.t.c.hes! Go away!"

The driver was really angry. Suddenly he turned the steering wheel, causing the girl to fall on the ground. The girl uttered a scream and fell heavily on the ground. The other girl hurried to help her up.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was looking at the whole thing from the Doomsday Ride and frowned, one of the girls looked familiar. He cast one more look at the rear-view camera, looked at the girl again, and decided to help at least this one time before leaving the city. It was one thing to leave a stranger behind, it was another to leave someone you were familiar with to die. He would at the very least help them leave the city. He stopped to the side of the road, went to the pa.s.senger seat and opened the window.

"HEY! Come here!"
