"Hu Ge, how are you?" After giving instructions, Tang Xiaoquan immediately turned his gaze to Hu Xiaodong behind him. Obviously, compared to his own safety, he was more concerned about the latter's injuries.

Besides the camaraderie between the brothers, the main reason for this was that the latter's injuries would directly affect the team's escape next.

Hu Xiaodong himself was also as clear as a bright mirror about this, and since today's danger was also caused by him, both emotionally and rationally, he didn't want to drag his brothers down any further, even though his current condition was already very dire.

So...

Biting his teeth hard, with sweat droplets rolling down his cheeks, Hu Xiaodong struggled to get up despite his leg injury. However, some things can't be accomplished by sheer willpower alone.

Seeing the elder brother's slightly pitiful movements, Wang Qiang's heart couldn't help but twist. It wasn't just him; Wu Chao and Wen Quanxin next to him felt the same. Without another word, they almost spoke in unison with concern, "Hu Ge, how is it, can you hold on? Come on, let me help you!"

Looking at the three large hands simultaneously extended in front of him, Hu Xiaodong only felt a warm current flow through his heart.

As the saying goes, true feelings are revealed in adversity. At this moment, the actions of these people made him realize the weight of the word "brother." It was also because of this that he regretted his own irrationality today even more.

"No need!" As usual, he gave a straightforward and resolute reply. Hu Xiaodong appeared very stubborn, trying hard to squeeze out a smile to reassure his companions. However, his smile did not last long before it was twisted and deformed by the intense pain triggered by exerting too much force on his lower limbs.

At this point, Wang Qiang couldn't stand it anymore. He was already impatient by nature, and seeing the elder brother so insistent at this moment naturally made him angry. His face sank, and without saying a word, he grabbed the former's arm and shouted, "Enough! Hu Ge! What time is this, stop pretending to be a tough guy! Look at your current condition! Can you walk on your own?"

Unable to respond, even though Wang Qiang's words were somewhat crude, they hit the nail on the head, leaving Hu Xiaodong speechless.

"Come on, Chaozi, lend a hand!" Raising his hand to point at Hu Xiaodong's other side, though his heart was on fire, Wang Qiang didn't forget about Hu Xiaodong's injuries. This was evident from his exceptionally careful actions.

"One! Two! Three!"

Thanks to the simultaneous efforts of Wang and Wu, although Hu Xiaodong inevitably felt a tearing pain when he got up, being an athlete, he was very much aware that without the help of his brothers today, standing up might have been a problem.

A group of 8 people formed a circle tightly surrounding Hu Xiaodong as they moved toward the southwest. Since two of them had to support the latter, and three of them still had bound hands, the risks and difficulties of their progress were conceivable.

Zombies kept pouring in from all directions, forcing even Lin Junfu and others to join the line of defense.

If they couldn't use their hands to resist, they would use their feet to do the job.

Lin Junfu quickly advanced towards a zombie attempting to break into the defensive circle. Taking advantage of the moment when the latter reached out with both hands and leaned forward, Lin decisively kicked it to the ground with a swift move.

At the same time, similar scenes were happening continuously in other directions of the survivor's ranks, with zombies falling to the ground for various reasons.

Undoubtedly, the survivors were truly racking their brains and trying every possible way in the desperate battle with this unusually large and almost invincible army of the undead.

But zombies are ultimately zombies. If you don't kill them, they will continue the virus's killing orders, as if they were perpetual motion machines.

Frankly speaking, nowadays, if we talk about the most persevering, resilient, and fearsome creatures on earth, these mutant species would undoubtedly be at the top.

Watching those bloodthirsty beasts behind him fall yet still cling to them like glue, Tang Xiaoquan's brow furrowed even tighter.

There's no doubt that trying to escape the zombie horde on foot is an unrealistic endeavor.

Not to mention whether the zombies would give them this chance, even if they did, their current speed, dragging along an injured Hu Xiaodong, seemed unlikely to end well.

So, quickly finding a place where they could hide from pursuit was undoubtedly the most urgent issue that needed solving.

Glancing quickly toward the southwest, Tang Xiaoquan was very aware that whether escaping or hiding, the southwest was currently their only choice.

Because only in that direction was the zombie density relatively sparse, though Tang also understood this was only temporary. After all, zombies have a herd mentality, and as the saying goes, one move can trigger a chain reaction. The movement of one zombie often leads to the movement of several around it.

Moreover, they were the "succulent feast" eagerly awaited by the zombies. How could the undead pass up the chance to hunt them?

So, it was no surprise. In a few more minutes, those beasts, drawn by the commotion from nearby stores, would seal off their last escape route representing "life," which was the last thing the survivors wanted to see.

This absolutely cannot happen. While Tang Xiaoquan secretly prayed, his eyes suddenly brightened.

The national emblem! Tang Xiaoquan actually saw the national emblem!!

It's hard to imagine seeing the national emblem in such a dangerous situation, but as his gaze continued downward and he saw the four big golden words beneath the emblem, Tang Xiaoquan's fleeting excitement abruptly cooled.

"Honest Law Enforcement!" He subconsciously blurted out. Needless to say, the appearance of these four words clearly indicated that this institution was not the police or traffic enforcement department he had hoped for and expected, but rather the notoriously "prestigious" City Management Bureau.

However, the regret Tang Xiaoquan felt did not affect him for long. After hesitating for a few seconds, he resolutely ordered their group, "Everyone, charge there, let's enter the City Management Bureau!!"

As his words fell, aside from the zombies' howls and the crowd's heavy breathing, no one responded to Tang Xiaoquan's command.

This wasn't because they had any objections to his order; rather, the zombies' oppressive presence left them with no spare energy to address anything beyond dealing with the undead.

As the scorching sun rose higher, several long shadows moved arduously forward on the zombie-filled street...
