Arrive at the airport

Derick carried an axe and walked ahead, clearing the way, while Lisa followed behind him with a backpack, behaving like an obedient little girl.

She was a star goddess in everyone's eyes, and in a short period of time, she had become incredibly obedient, even after being slapped and thrown into a horde of zombies.

Avoiding large groups of zombies went relatively smoothly as their strength had increased, and they no longer needed other means. Derick could easily kill the sporadic zombies they encountered.

Along the way, Lisa watched as Derick swung his axe, taking down one zombie after another, effortlessly killing all the obstacles in their path.

His skilled and confident manner both amazed and admired her. He was so powerful that it sent shivers down her spine.

Lisa had witnessed multiple times how Derick effortlessly dodged attacks from several surrounding zombies, leaving them unable to even touch the hem of his clothes before they were killed.

What should have taken three hours, Derick completed in just forty minutes, reaching the vicinity of the airport. This was despite having Lisa, who could be considered dead weight. However, she had surprised Derick.

While her physical fitness seemed average, she managed to keep up with his speed, even though she was panting heavily and didn't complain.

They were now on the outskirts of the airport, which was the only airport in Bear City. The battlefield area was not small, considering that Bear City was the capital of Donghai Province with a daily population close to thirty million.

The airport in Bear City had a significant number of stranded passengers. Just from the outside square where Derick stood, he could see hundreds of zombies wandering around. Not to mention those inside the airport terminal.

"Can you drive a truck?" Derick furrowed his brow and asked the woman beside him.

Lisa was absentmindedly staring at the zombies in the square and snapped back to reality upon hearing Derick's question. "No, I've only driven small cars," she shook her head.

Derick pondered for a moment. He hadn't expected much anyway. It was unlikely that she had learned how to drive a truck. But as long as Lisa had driven a car before, it would be sufficient. He didn't need her to have expert driving skills.

Lisa stared at Derick's cheek, feeling somewhat anxious and unsure about what he was thinking.

Taking Lisa's hand, Derick led her directly to a nearby truck parked on the side. It appeared to be used for construction on the airport's side and had been left here since the apocalypse.

After searching nearby, they couldn't find the keys, so Derick smashed the control panel and pulled out the cables, locating the neutral and ignition wires.

Guiding Lisa step by step, Derick taught her the basic maneuvers of driving a truck. She didn't need to be proficient, just capable enough to drive. After all, there were similarities between trucks and small cars. With some practice, she started to get the hang of it.

"Remember, once you hear my command, keep driving, circling around the square. Control your speed, don't stop, and don't go too fast or too slow. Finally, stop beneath that control tower over there," Derick pointed to the airport tower several hundred meters away.

"I..." Upon hearing Derick's plan, Lisa felt a sense of fear. Although it sounded simple, driving a truck and crashing into zombies was far from easy, especially for a novice driver like her. It would be an achievement if she could avoid flipping the truck.

"Listen, as long as you can safely reach the control tower, you can go up there and lock the door. No zombies will be able to get in. Take this, just in case." Derick handed her the 54 pistol he had in his hand.

"Master..." Lisa looked at Derick with fear and apprehension, looking pitiful, like a little kitten about to be abandoned by its owner. She thought Derick was planning to leave her behind with this far-fetched plan.

"Don't worry, listen to me~ It'll be alright. I will definitely come to rescue you. Be obedient, the master won't abandon you," Derick's voice softened, as he gently caressed her cheek.

Sensing Derick's tenderness, Lisa felt somewhat relieved, but she still felt fear. It was pitiful. Just half a day ago, she was a popular superstar, enjoying the adoration of millions of fans and a luxurious and comfortable life. And now, she had to drive a truck and risk her life to crash into zombies.

"Master... Please, please don't forget to come save me," Lisa dared not refuse Derick's request, gripping his arm in fear.

"Okay, don't worry!" Derick smiled at her. If Lisa really cooperated and helped him rescue her sister, he would also try his best to bring her out safely.

After dialing Angelica's number, "Sister, I have arrived near the airport, right next to the square, next to two trucks."

In the airport's third floor, Angelica stood up with a mixture of surprise and worry, rushing to the huge floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor. From there, she saw two muddy trucks on the road several hundred meters away.

When Derick saw these two trucks and the zombies on the square, he had already planned his strategy. There were hundreds of zombies on the square, not to mention the ones in other areas, including inside the airport terminal. In total, there were at least thousands.

Reliant on Derick alone, he didn't know how long it would take to deal with them, and he would also be risking his life. So he came up with a bold plan: let Lisa drive the other truck and attract most of the zombies on the square to the tower area on the west side of the airport.

Then, Derick would drive the other truck and rush to the area under the airport terminal. Angelica would directly break the window on the third floor and jump down.

The truck wasn't short to begin with, and with the cargo compartment filled with sand, it had a cushioning effect. So the actual height of the jump would be no more than five or six meters.

After explaining his plan to his sister, although Angelica was very worried, she knew she couldn't dissuade him once her little brother had already arrived at the airport. She could only try her best to cooperate with his plan.

After all the discussions were over, Derick made a hand gesture to Lisa on the other truck. Then, the heavy truck started, clumsily climbing the steps of the square, with Derick following closely behind.

The dull sound of the engine quickly shattered the silence, and the disturbed horde of zombies let out angry roars almost simultaneously. Hundreds and thousands of zombies were drawn to the sound, rushing towards the heavy truck driven by Lisa.

The speed of the truck kept increasing, and the massive vehicle combined with its high velocity made it impossible for the zombies to stop such a behemoth.

Zombies were constantly being sent flying, their severed arms, legs, ribs, and internal organs hitting the truck's windows, leaving behind pools of blood and flesh.

The side windows were soon covered in sticky reddish-brown blood, and the front windshield was also partially covered, affecting the visibility.
