Chapter 334: We did it!

Ivy led the remaining members of her group toward the entrance of the car dealership, her expression calm despite the soft growls of the monsters.

They all knew it’s only a matter of time before lots of monsters find them since the blood of the dead ones was sure to attract them.

“Everyone, stay alert. Although we found lots of cars but then we didn’t find their keys and we all know we can’t drive cars without keys but then we managed to find some. We need to find the one that can accommodate all of us,” Ivy instructed, glancing at the dealership ahead.

“Understood!” Her survordinate chorused, although their voices were barely above a whisper so as not to attract monsters.

The dealership’s glass entrance had already been shattered afterall and several abandoned vehicles were scattered across the showroom. Some had been damaged beyond repair, while others appeared to be in relatively good condition.

Ivy quickly surveyed the available options.

Her gaze eventually settled on a sturdy SUV parked near the back of the showroom. Its spacious interior and reinforced body made it an ideal choice for their journey.

“This one will do.”

Without wasting any time, she approached the vehicle and checked its condition and fortunately despite the fact that the key they found wasn’t that of the SUV….the SUV key was actually inside the car.

Vooom~

The car started the moment Ivy turned the key prompting a wide smile to spread across her face.

“Alright everyone. Get in.”

Without wasting much time, Antelope aas the first to immediately climbed into the passenger seat, while Erick, Elliot, Darren and the others settled into the back.

Vooom….

Ivy started the car again, it’s engine roared to life even louder and that was enough to attract the attention of several monsters wandering nearby. It’s not like monsters were not already wandering about but they haven’t gotten the location of where Ivy and her survordinate are but now…they could hear clearly and started running towards them.

Ivy stepped on the accelerator and SUV shot forward, smashing through the remaining glass panels at the dealership entrance. A few monsters who have already gotten them were knocked aside as the vehicle burst onto the street.

“Yessss! We did it!” Darren said happily.

However, their journey was far from over as the main road was blocked by abandoned vehicles, forcing Ivy to change direction several times. She skillfully maneuvered through the obstacles, occasionally running over monsters that appeared in their path.

GROWLS ~

“Captain, there are too many of them behind us!” Erick exclaimed, looking through the rear window. “They’re running in full speed.”

“I know we’re going to deal with them once we’re outside the pharmacy. There’s no way we’re escaping safely.” Ivy replied all while she briefly glanced at the rearview mirror.

A large group of monsters continue to chase after them, all attracted mainly by the noise of the SUV.

“Don’t worry about them. Just hold on tightly.”

She increased her speed, steering the vehicle toward a nearby gas station.

The students in the SUV didn’t even bother lifting their heads up.

Several monsters were gathered around the entrance, their bodies covered in their dried blood, the strong smell of rotten flesh thick in the air but then Rose showed no intention of slowing down.

The SUV crashed through the gas station’s outer barrier, sending several monsters, some who were about using their tongues to attack, flying. She drove straight through the open area before making a sharp turn toward the road leading out of the city.

Behind them, the remaining monsters continued pursuing the vehicle, but their movements gradually became slower as the distance increased all while Darren, Elliot, Erick and the other soldiers gradually stop shooting fiercely.

“That was close.” Erick said as he finally released his breath.

“We’re finally out of that mess,” Darren added, leaning back against his seat.

Ivy remained focused on the road as sfe continue driving at full speed.

“We’re not completely safe yet. There may be more monsters ahead, so don’t let your guard down.”

The others immediately nodded.

After driving for some time, they eventually arrived at an ancient town situated on the outskirts of the city.

Unlike the modern buildings they had passed earlier, the town consisted mostly of traditional structures, narrow streets, and old-fashioned storefronts. Although it had once been a lively tourist destination, it was now eerily quiet.

A few abandoned vehicles stood along the roadside, and traces of blood could be seen near some of the buildings accompanied by the strong smell of decay.

Ivy finally slowed down as she approached the entrance as she was familiar with this area. Some of her subordinates had been stationed nearby, and she wanted to check on them before returning to the base.

Not long after entering the town, Ivy spotted several familiar figures standing near a barricade.

“Captain!”

One of the men immediately recognized her SUV and hurried forward.

Ivy stopped the vehicle and lowered the window.

“How have things been here?”

“Everything is under control, Captain. We received your earlier instructions and have been maintaining the perimeter. However, we noticed a group of monsters following the road from the eastern entrance.”

Ivy’s expression became serious.

“How many?”

“At least twenty. There might be more behind them.”

She nodded.

“Gather everyone. We’ll deal with them before returning.”

Her subordinates immediately got to work.

Elliot, Darren, Erick and Antelope also climbed out of the SUV, preparing to assist.
