Kingdom of Corrosion

On the streets of North Town, one could see a dozen zombies lined up in a queue, walking down the street, which was visually striking. The horde in the county seat was, of course, incomparable to the countryside. Nearly a hundred zombies densely packed and occupied half of the road, shuffling along slowly. Ordinary zombies were in the middle of the road, with many Screeching Zombies mixed in. Seven or eight Frenzies were bouncing around on either side, following the horde and occasionally knocking scattered zombies to the ground.

Using Lin Wu’s Silencer scope, Shana observed for a while, "It looks like they are closely packed, but there is quite a bit of space between the zombies, minimizing the effect of the Molotov Cocktails and giving zombies room to run."

The Corpse Tide Patrol came from Road 1, bypassed the county marker, and took Road 2. After they had moved on, another wave of Corpse Tide Patrol arrived on Road 1 as if they were a patrol squad. Shana calculated the time and noted, "The interval is about 10 minutes. There are quite a few scrapped cars on the road, and vehicles, bicycles, and motorcycles can be seen everywhere on the roadside. I want to check out the area of 0, 7." She was referring to the V-shaped complex behind the county marker.

"Let’s go!" Lin Wu didn’t plan on which direction to go; if Shana wanted to go, they would.

The two slid down the straight ladder, progressing while clearing zombies with the Silencer and crossbow on either side. They followed Road 1 and approached their target area when the new wave of Corpse Tide Patrol headed towards them. Lin Wu pried open the door to a dental clinic next to the parking lot opposite the V-complex, and they quietly slipped inside, quietly closing the door behind them.

After Lin Wu had cleared the five zombies inside the small clinic, he returned to the entrance and asked Shana, who was observing, "How is it?"

"Across from us is a seven-story apartment complex. There are multiple entrance and exit roads. Look, the community roads are dimly lit, but you can still see a park inside. I estimate there are about a thousand units in this community." Shana said, "The apartments on the roadside all have shops on the ground floor, including restaurants, recycling centers, convenience stores, phone shops, real estate agencies, pharmacies, cake shops... A dazzling array, with no signs of being scavenged."

Lin Wu said, "The zombie density is very high."

The sidewalk alongside the road was over two meters wide. Along the edge of the sidewalk near the road, a mango tree was planted every 10 meters. Even with the shadow and trunks of the trees providing cover, one could still see a considerable number of zombies wandering about.
