Had Xu Feng tried to make it to Xu Zeng's agricultural school turned base alone, he wasn't sure he would have made it out of Aran Base before the zombie tide hit.
The odds hadn't been in his favor, and he knew it. Yujie, for all her wildness, was the reason they were making any progress at all. Despite her chaotic driving, she had the instincts of a seasoned survivor.
