Rotting Land: Survive

"Awooo~" A piercing howl filled the sky, as the brutal death of their companion ignited the anger of the other wolves in the pack.

Almost simultaneously, the mutant wolves, now aware, began to sprint together, chasing the convoy vehicles fiercely.

"Lead vehicle, lead vehicle, the wolf pack has started moving, the wolf pack has started moving! We’re following immediately, repeat, we’re following immediately! Over!"

Lin Junfu’s message transmitted from the hand-held radio, prompting Tang Xiaoquan’s immediate response: "Lead vehicle understands, lead vehicle understands! We’re reducing speed, catch up quickly! Over!"

Upon receiving Tang Xiaoquan’s message, Old Lin exclaimed, "Everyone, hold tight, Xiao Wang, we’re moving out!"

Wearing the pre-prepared white gloves, Wang Zhongyu took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

As his hands touched the gear stick, his entire demeanor changed dramatically.

What kind of man is the most handsome? A serious man, and Wang Zhongyu was exactly that at this moment.

His focus was entirely on the road ahead, as he engaged the handbrake and immediately drove out.

Old Xu raised his brow to glance at the rearview mirror on top of the car, seeing the mutant wolves closing in at a visibly fast pace.

Though it had been anticipated that these beasts would have unusual speed, the actual pursuit was still astonishingly terrifying.

However, Old Xu was not frightened by the wolves’ chase; instead, the more wolves pursued, the happier he was.

Because this would mean less pressure for the brothers at the rear, and the convoy vehicle was tough enough to withstand the mutant wolves’ clawing; what could they possibly do?

In the meantime, Wang Zhongyu gradually caught up.

Upon sighting the convoy, the pursuing wolves’ interest was instantly piqued. They seemed to recall last night’s siege, and immediately split into two groups, at least four mutant wolves heading toward the bus.

"They’re coming! They’re coming! The mutant wolves are approaching! Three on the left, one on the right, everyone pay attention!" Using his vantage point, Wang Zhongyu first informed his teammates behind of the wolves’ movement direction.

Lei Tong and others, upon receiving the warning, immediately gripped their weapons and looked out.

Just as Shen Lian poked his head out, the vehicle suddenly jolted; the mutant wolves had lunged with their bodies against the bus.

The sudden impact caused anxiety among the survivors inside the bus, and He Jing’s emotions were turning intense.

"Everyone, stay calm! Stay calm! We are safe inside!" Lin Junfu knew how crucial it was to maintain psychological composure at this moment.

He did not want the panic to affect Wang Zhongyu’s mood because compared to the mutant wolves’ assault, Wang Zhongyu’s driving was the greater concern.

Not that Old Lin doubted Wang Zhongyu’s skills, but driving at such high speeds, any negligence might be catastrophic.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" On the left and right, the mutant wolves seemed to have agreed to take turns attacking; as one hit, the other followed, almost treating the bus like a drum.

The entire vehicle shook vigorously under the assault, as Wang Zhongyu looked at the mirror situation, a fire kindled within his eyes.

Not an impotent cat despite appearing docile, 200 meters ahead was the first abandoned vehicle site marked in the video; from there, the road would turn complicated.

Though the average person might get tense, Wang Zhongyu’s lips curled into a faint smile.

The counterattack begins!! Prepare to die, beasts!

Seizing the distance accurately, Wang Zhongyu skillfully maneuvered one of the mutant wolves into a suitable position.

As they passed the abandoned vehicle site, a mutant wolf jumped up preparing a fresh collision against the bus.

Wang Zhongyu sharply twisted the steering wheel right, sending the airborne wolf crashing into the bus.

This time, instead of hitting the bus, the bus carried it forth, smashing hard into the abandoned sedan.

"Screech!" The steel plate’s high-speed friction screeched piercingly, almost fracturing the wolf body mercilessly, spraying flesh and blood across the windows.

Wei Yang tightly shielded Fangfang in his arms, as the other survivors also clung to the grips before them, bracing themselves against the shaking.

Through the external rearview mirror, Wang Zhongyu clearly saw the wolf body shatter, quickly steering the vehicle straight again.

In the space left behind, a crushed mass of flesh dropped down.

The two chasing mutant wolves howled instantly, as one leaped over, climbing atop the bus.

"Bang!" The fall created a dull thud, startling the survivors inside the bus.

From the hand-held radio on the dashboard, Old Zhao’s warning came in: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, there’s a mutant wolf on your vehicle, repeat, a mutant wolf is on your vehicle! Over!"

"Lei Zi, reply to Old Zhao, tell him to wait for my signal, execute plan B!"

"OK," Lei Tong promptly conveyed Wang Zhongyu’s instruction to Old Zhao.

Upon hearing, Old Zhao took a deep breath, gripping the steering wheel tightly, knowing it was time to test his skills.

Wang Zhongyu maneuvered left and right. Due to the bus’s large body, it was less responsive.

So there was no way to handle it like a nimble race car, and each turn drained significant physical strength.

Within minutes, sweat beads unknowingly spread across his forehead.

Straining through the first stage with concentrated abandoned vehicles, the vision ahead cleared, revealing a long, unobstructed road.

Wang Zhongyu remembered clearly that this stretch was around a minute devoid of barriers, marking it as the ideal place to execute plan B.

His right foot floored the accelerator, and the bus began accelerating gradually.

Seeing the lead vehicle slowly distance itself, Old Zhao knew Wang Zhongyu had started implementing the plan.

He dared not delay, flooring the accelerator in turn, maintaining a 200-meter span from the lead vehicle.

"Lei Zi, get ready!" Wang Zhongyu shouted.

Lei Tong instinctively swallowed, his focus reaching the maximum.

A bit faster! Just a bit faster!

Through the rearview mirror observation, the right tail was slowly distancing from one of the mutant wolves.

Once at approximately 60 centimeters, Wang Zhongyu roared:

"Get ready, three, two, one! Execute!"

"Screech!" Accompanied by a piercing grind, the bus suddenly skidded right, abruptly halting; the inertia made the survivors lurch forward.

Simultaneously, the mutant wolf, unaware, continued charging at full speed, making the unexpected swerve crash it into the back compartment with intimate force, sending it flying backwards after a dull thud.

"Go!" With the clutch depressed by his left foot, right hand adeptly shifting gears, Wang Zhongyu executed a seamless maneuver, kick-starting the halted bus sequentially.

As the rear vehicle, Old Zhao, seeing the airborne mutant wolf refused to dodge, resolutely slammed the accelerator, crashing straight ahead! (To be continued.
