Chapter 25 - : Escape to Rock Mountain
Outside the perimeter wall, an explosion-proof vehicle was leaving along the path.
But more and more zombies were flooding in from the country road, and Liu Weimin saw a few scattered zombies, about four or five of them, approaching from the front, while more zombies started coming out from the forests on both sides.
Gritting his teeth, he yelled: "Hold tight!"
The explosion-proof vehicle instantly accelerated, plowing through them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Clang... Clang... Clang...
At high speed, the three zombies in front were hit by the sturdy explosion-proof vehicle and were swept underneath it.
The tires crushed over the bodies of the zombies. Although the vehicle didn't flip over, it still vibrated considerably.
The roof of the vehicle originally had no good handholds, and three people on the roof were rocking and swaying.
Thump! Thump!
The two people on the roof were shaken off due to the vibration.
"Ah, save me, save me."
"My leg's broken, hurry and save me, the zombies are coming."
Liu Weimin saw this scene from the rearview mirror and sighed inwardly.
But he couldn't stop. If he did, everyone would die here.
The densely packed zombies from both sides of the woods had caught up.
The people inside the vehicle watched as those two unfortunate souls were devoured by the horde of zombies.
Watching the two fall from the vehicle, everyone felt a rabbit's death as their own.
The explosion-proof vehicle sped up again, bursting out of the path and onto the country road.
"Where to? Where's safer?" Liu Weimin turned and asked the people behind him.
The Village Chief thought for a moment, then said, "We have a tourist spot called Rock Mountain; there are fewer zombies there, and it's difficult for the zombies to get up!"
Nodding, Liu Weimin drove in the direction the Village Chief had pointed. Along both sides of the national road, there were still some zombies, but they were mostly not in groups—just wandering aimlessly in twos and threes.
With the appearance of the explosion-proof vehicle, the zombies would give chase for a while, and upon realizing they couldn't catch up, could only growl in anger.
The armored vehicle had driven 2 kilometers when suddenly the Village Chief said to turn right.
Liu Weimin made a sharp turn, and the last person on the roof also nearly fell off.
Luckily, he was the only one left on the roof and clung on for dear life.
The armored vehicle continued driving forward, crossed a bridge, and arrived at Rock Mountain.
At the foot of Rock Mountain, a few zombies were loitering around.
But at least the terrain of Rock Mountain was steep and complicated, and a metal fence at the entrance blocked them.
Liu Weimin drove the armored vehicle straight into the crowd of zombies, crushing a few of them.
He reversed, then rammed again, back and forth several times, until only a few zombies were left standing.
Then he stopped the car, looked back at the crowded people inside, who showed no intention of getting out.
Liu Weimin sighed silently and looked at the people behind him, saying, "Hand it over!"
"Wha-what?" The Village Chief didn't quite understand what Liu Weimin meant.
"Give me that Firewood Knife in your hand! Or do you want to go down and handle those few zombies?" Seeing their cowardly faces, Liu Weimin spoke irritably.
"Don't you have a gun? Shoot these monsters dead!" The Village Chief didn't understand why he needed to hand it over.
Liu Weimin sighed, "I've run out of bullets just now; surely I can't just use a Dagger, right?"
The Village Chief had a gloomy look, but seeing the zombies outside, he didn't want to risk going out either.
He hesitantly handed the Firewood Knife to Liu Weimin.
After receiving the knife, Liu Weimin instructed Liu Huamei not to come out.
He pushed the car door forcefully, knocking off the zombie that was leaning against the window.
He then pulled out the Firewood Knife and swung it at another zombie, splosh—the zombie was chopped down!

Immediately following that, two more zombies closed in. Liu Weimin, with 5 years of military and 8 years of armed police experience, had impressive combat skills.
Facing the two charging zombies, Liu Weimin calmly struck one down, as the other zombie quickly approached.
He then stabbed the zombie's head with a dagger.
The people inside the car watched through the windows as Liu Weimin took out all the zombies, their faces breaking into smiles of relief.
Liu Huamei got out of the car and suddenly, she quickened her pace a few steps forward.
She lifted an axe and chopped down the zombie that was crawling towards Liu Weimin!
It was the one that had been against the door earlier, the one Liu Weimin had knocked to the ground!
As the daughter of a policeman, she had always been braver than most, and her love for sports made her as capable as any grown man.
Fortunate!
Father and daughter exchanged glances.
That's when the rear car door opened, and the group streamed out like a line of fish.
"How shall we proceed?" Liu Weimin looked at the Village Chief and others getting out of the car, feeling somewhat impatient.
All along the way, he felt this group was utterly unreliable, as helpful as pigs.
The Village Chief led the way and, after everyone entered the scenic area, he closed the iron fence.
This iron fence was the gate of the scenic area, previously used to block tourists trying to sneak in for free. Although it wasn't exactly sturdy, it was better than nothing.
The Village Chief pointed towards the scattered rocks ahead of odd shapes and said, "This way is Rock Mountain, it's tough to traverse, but we have to climb up."
While leading the way, he explained, "The path through Rock Mountain is difficult, but it also effectively blocks the zombies."
Liu Weimin didn't speak, and everyone began to climb upward.
A few young men following behind Liu Huamei were restless with desire as they watched her rounded hips.
Especially when Liu Huamei stepped on rocks to climb upwards, the outline of her attractive figure was fully accentuated.
The young men behind her were staring fixedly at the beautiful curves of Liu Huamei's rear.
Feeling the searing gaze from behind, Liu Huamei slightly turned her head.
Seeing the lustful eyes of the men behind her, she became instantly furious with embarrassment.
"What are you looking at!?" she angrily exclaimed!
She thought to herself: How shameless are these people, even more so than Li Yu, completely lacking morals!

Yet, their behavior under the walls just now seemed so innocent and pitiable.
The tattooed young man trailing closely immediately said with a chuckle, "Not looking at anything, move along. Don't block the way."
Liu Weimin, at the front, heard the conversation from behind and turned his head.
The young men quickly lowered their heads.
They remained quiet then on, and as Rock Mountain wasn't high, they soon saw two old tiled houses halfway up the mountain, overgrown with grass.
But as they were about to reach the houses, whereas they could have gone straight ahead, the Village Chief hesitated, mumbling about taking a detour.
Liu Weimin looked confused and asked.
The Village Chief quickly said, "It's difficult to walk ahead, the front..." He seemed to be searching for an explanation, unable to provide an immediate answer.
As if recalling something, he added, "Rock Mountain is a small scenic spot, on the right is an observation deck. The view is great, let's go there to check if the zombies have come."
Although the reason was a bit far-fetched, hearing about zombies, Liu Weimin still decided to go and check first.
See if there were any new zombies coming from below the mountain,
But with all that had happened, Liu Weimin somewhat knew these were not the honest farmers he was familiar with and remained alert to any hidden tricks they might pull during the night on this route.
Reaching the observation deck, they saw several houses at the foot of the mountain, and a few zombies wandering, blocked by the fence and snarling outside it.
Everyone reached the two tiled houses, and as night fell, the darkness grew.
Fortunately, they had gathered a few patrol lights at the scenic area's main gate earlier, or else they would have had to endure the night in darkness.
The murky night deepened, and after a tense day of fleeing and chopping zombies, they had no opportunity to search for food.
Liu Weimin and his daughter had not eaten much all day and were now suddenly overwhelmed with hunger.
