The burly man was the leader of the four, all villagers from Ye Family Village who had come to Z City to work.
The burly man was called Ye Chentian, and the man with the crew cut was Ye Hai! The other two women were Ye Yanmei and Ye Xiaoqing. The four of them all worked in this Hair Salon. After all, they were from the same village and usually looked after each other and helped each other out!
On the night of December 21st, the day the X Virus broke out! After Ye Chentian and the other three got off work and closed the shop, they went to a nearby food stall for a late-night snack.
Don't let Ye Chentian's burly appearance fool you; he was a very careful and hardworking person! He was appreciated by the boss and promoted to store manager, so he was usually the one in charge of closing the store at night.
That night, the four of them hadn't even finished eating what they had ordered at the food stall when they suddenly heard a commotion nearby... At first, Ye Chentian and the others didn't take it seriously and continued to eat and chat!
But soon, the commotion grew louder and louder! Ye Chentian, who was always careful and thoughtful, immediately felt that something was wrong. He looked around and found that there was no one around the food stall! Only their table remained, and he felt even more worried. A bad premonition welled up in his heart!
"Don't eat! Hurry... follow me!" At this moment, Ye Chentian quickly stopped the others and went to the edge of the tent to peek at the situation outside.
Seeing Ye Chentian's furtive actions, the three of them were puzzled! But they also stood up and followed behind him...
The entire street was surrounded by bloody corpses. Several figures were feasting on the remains, a scene even more gruesome than a horror movie, truly terrifying! A gust of wind carried a foul stench, making them nauseous...
Ye Hai and the other two saw the scene outside the tent! All the snacks they had eaten earlier came back up. Ye Chentian barely managed to hold it in...
A moment later! All three were pale from vomiting. The two women were terrified and clung to each other. Ye Hai wasn't much better, his legs were trembling. Ye Chentian saw their condition and thought to himself that he had to step up now, otherwise, they were all doomed.
"Everyone, calm down... If we don't escape this situation, we're all going to die! If you trust me, follow me and we'll charge out together. There might be a chance of survival."
"I'll give you three minutes to think it over. I'm leaving in three minutes! If anyone chooses to stay, I'll try my best to lure those monster Zombies away," Ye Chentian said seriously.
At the same time, he thought to himself, I've given you the opportunity! Considering we're all from Ye Family Village, this is all I can do. The final choice is up to you.
"Brother Tian... No need to think! I'm willing to follow you," Ye Hai replied without hesitation.
"So are we..." The two women looked at each other and then at Ye Chentian.
"Very good! Since you've made your choice, you'll follow my orders. When I tell you to run, charge forward without stopping! No one can save you if you fall behind; stopping means certain death," Ye Chentian said sternly, looking at the three.
"Understood… Brother Tian!" the three replied, nodding.
"Our destination is the Hair Salon! Ye Hai, you take the key. Running together will be a death sentence! I'll go out first to attract the Zombies' attention, then I'll find a shortcut back to the Hair Salon." Ye Chentian analyzed.
