The vehicle was rampaging through the cave village, its engine roaring like a beast in distress as it sped past ruins and debris.
The four people still searching through the bodies froze when they heard the sound of the car horn outside. Wen Nannan lowered the car window and reached out, knocking on the side of the vehicle. "Hurry up and get in!" she called.
The blaring horn jolted the surrounding survivors awake. "They have a vehicle!" someone yelled. People surged forward, moving like a swarm of hungry zombies drawn to the scent of fresh meat.
"Car! They have a car!"
Li Mu and the others scrambled to get into the vehicle, their hearts pounding with adrenaline. Wen Nannan slammed her foot down on the accelerator, sending the vehicle lurching forward as she bulldozed through obstacles in her path.
"Wait!"
"Take me with you!"
"Don't run!"
"Help us!"
