8 Chapter 8: Chaos on the Bridge

"Damn!" the pickup driver roared after his car flipped. "Holy shit! That man is crazy!"

Suddenly, there was a scream from behind. Jiang Liushi turned on the rear camera and saw hundreds of zombies appear on the screen. They were passing between the vehicles and even over them.

These zombies, covered in blood and running at high speed towards the bridge, caused the smarter people to start running for their lives, while some simply froze in fear.

Jiang Liushi spotted two people running together. One of them heard the approaching screams. Suddenly, his face changed, and he pushed the other person to the ground. The other person screamed, but it was too late for him to get up. The zombies quickly surrounded him.

In an instant, chaos erupted and drivers began to accelerate, disregarding the people in front of them.

Being stuck in a traffic jam at a time like this was a disaster. Liushi stepped on the accelerator and the microbus roared. Pushing vehicles as it passed, the AMF was like a mad bull.

At a glance, he saw two young women running while trying to get help from one of the passing drivers.

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

"Help us! Please!"

The two girls looked terrified; they must have sought help from other vehicles before, but none had stopped. The zombies were approaching, and if they couldn't get into a vehicle, they would undoubtedly be torn apart by the zombies.

Liushi, watching this scene, believed that if the car slowed down and opened the door, the two girls could be saved. However, the car didn't slow down; instead, it sped up. The two girls could only do their best to run: "Please, open the door, please!" The door was locked, and they couldn't get in.

Soon after, the driver turned his face angrily and cursed: "Damn it! Get away from my car!"

One of the girls then banged on the driver's window. "Please! I beg you!" she shouted.

"Go to hell!" the driver yelled, turning the wheel and hitting the girl. She fell heavily to the ground with a scream.

The other girl quickly ran to help her. "Are you okay?"

"I think I twisted my ankle." The girl cried.

At another time, even though he found the scene tragic, he wouldn't stop in a moment like this. But he recognized one of the girls at a glance.

Hesitating for a moment, Jiang Liushi suddenly turned the steering wheel and changed direction. Amid the chaos of vehicles and people running across the bridge, the microbus was like a stone in rapids, moving in the opposite direction of the flow of people.

Using his driving skills and aided by the Starseed, the microbus moved like a snake, dodging the cars going in the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, the two girls saw the tide of zombies getting closer. Their expressions filled with despair.

"I don't want to die, Xiaotian." The girl with the twisted ankle cried.

At that moment, they heard the sound of tires skidding and a microbus turning in their direction. For a moment, they thought being run over by a microbus was better than being devoured by the zombies.

Closing their eyes, they waited for the impact. But all that followed was the wind on their faces and the noise of the brakes.

Opening their eyes, they saw the microbus stopped in front of them. The door opened, revealing Jiang sitting in the driver's seat. "I didn't expect to see you so soon, want a ride?" he laughed.

The girls still looked at him stupidly. "Get in now!" he yelled, snapping them out of their dazed state.

The young woman quickly helped her friend and they threw themselves into the microbus, just as the door closed. And the zombies began to hit the microbus trying to get in.

"Thank you! Thank you for saving us." The girl quickly thanked Liushi, but couldn't help feeling that his face was familiar.

"Damn! Don't thank me yet, hold on to something!" Liushi shouted, seeing a truck moving at high speed towards the bridge. The rearview camera image was enlarged and he could see a zombie struggling in the driver's cabin.

Liushi then stepped on the accelerator, and the AMF leapt forward like a sports car, nimbly swerving to the other side of the lane. Behind them, with a deafening crash, the truck passed exactly where they were seconds before, dragging all the cars it encountered ahead in a tumult of twisted metal.

The truck, unable to maintain its trajectory due to speed, violently collided with the cement side of the bridge, the impact creating sparks that quickly turned into fierce flames. The screams of the victims and the destructive grind of metal against concrete echoed over the turbulent water below.

Inside the microbus, the young women breathed heavily, still shocked by the sudden acceleration

. Astonished glances were exchanged, a mix of gratitude and terror etched on their faces.

But before they could even vocalize their confusion or relief, a monstrous explosion erupted as the truck's fuel tank met its tragic end. The blast shook the AMF, debris flying past the sides and hitting the windshield.

The reinforced structure of the AMF prevented any damage or them feeling the heat of the flames. The explosion of the truck made the already chaotic road worse, almost completely blocking the path with burning vehicles.

"That complicates the situation a bit..." Liushi couldn't help but sigh.
