The next morning, Officer Miao and Guan Xiaoyue prepared a few dishes for everyone. After eating, they set off on their journey.

They had already discussed it last night and decided to head east. The east led to the sea, and even if they couldn't find a settlement, finding an island would ensure their safety, freeing them from the constant worry of zombies.

However, reaching the sea was extremely challenging. They had long run out of gasoline, and most of the cars were broken from years of disuse. According to Officer Miao, they were currently in the center of the continent, and it would take at least three months to reach the coast on foot.

If they encountered battles or zombie attacks along the way, it would take even longer.

But the will to survive made everyone disregard these difficulties. The main reason for their determination to reach the coast was that Wang Bin could provide them with food.

Wang Bin also mentioned that once they reached the coast and found a safe place, he would procure seeds so they could grow their own food and vegetables, ensuring their survival.

There were many zombies along the way. Wang Bin, aiming to upgrade his Shooting Specialization and Diamond Palm, killed any zombies he encountered. Of course, when faced with large groups of zombies, they had no choice but to take a detour.

Currently, their group was no match for large hordes of zombies. The only fatal spot on a zombie was the brain; hitting the torso would only make them stagger. Among them, only Officer Miao could consistently land headshots. If they were attacked by a large group of zombies, it would be fatal.

To reach the fourth level of Shooting Specialization, Wang Bin needed to kill 5,000 zombies, and the third level of Diamond Palm required 10,000.

With only a rifle in hand, upgrading these skills was extremely difficult for Wang Bin.

Their pace was slow due to having children with them and Li Chengping's foot not being fully healed. They could only cover about thirty kilometers a day.

As a result, their original plan to reach the coast in three months was delayed.

They traveled through the mountains, unable to find any houses, and had to camp in the wild.

Fortunately, the weather was good tonight, and it didn't seem like it would rain.

At this point, Wang Bin realized he had forgotten to bring many things, like tents and gasoline. As for cars, his system space was limited, so he couldn't bring any for now.

There were plenty of cars on the road, and as long as they had gasoline, they could find a relatively new one when needed.

At night, they sat around the campfire, staring blankly at the flames.

Wang Bin had a sudden idea and took out his phone, turning on the music player.

The sound of a guitar slowly began to play. Everyone listened to the slow and pleasant guitar music, looking up at Wang Bin.

Wang Bin smiled faintly and gestured for silence, encouraging everyone to keep listening.

After the intro, a deep male and female duet began.

"Right I die. My life before my eyes. As I was hang there, I see wonderland. I don’t really see much of anything......"

The melody of the guitar was beautiful, perfectly complementing the deep vocals, and everyone was entranced.

Among them, only Wang Bin and Officer Miao understood English; the others just knew the song sounded good but didn't grasp the lyrics' meaning.

As they listened, Officer Miao's eyes reddened. The song's lyrics were too fitting for their current situation.

"Wang Bin, what's the name of this song?" Officer Miao asked, eyes red, after the song ended.

"Landing Guy."

"Oh, it's a beautiful song!"

"Next time, I'll bring you all a phone. I'll download some songs and movies for you, so you can listen to music and watch movies at night!"

"Really? Can you?"

"Yes, for now, my phone only has songs. We can't access the internet here, so we'll have to make do with music to pass the time!"

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome! Bao, Little Nan, what kind of cartoons do you like? I'll download some for you next time."

"I like the underwater world!"

"I want to see Superman vs. Monsters!"

"Uh, I'll see what I can find. If I can find them, I'll download them for you. If not, I'll get you some other cartoons!"

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Wang!"

The music continued, and everyone listened intently again.

The first few songs were quite sad, almost bringing everyone to tears. Wang Bin had to switch to some cheerful songs to bring smiles back to their faces.

Originally, Wang Bin wanted to do some barbecuing, but Officer Miao and the others, trying to conserve food, couldn't bear to do it, so Wang Bin had to give up.

Looking at the pile of meat in his system space, he realized it could preserve freshness, which reassured him. Otherwise, the food would spoil and go to waste.

At night, they assigned two people for guard duty. Officer Miao took the first half of the night, and Wang Bin took the second half.

Li Chengping and Guan Xiaoyue wanted to take a shift, but Wang Bin refused.

Wang Bin had become the leader of the group, and everyone followed his instructions.

The next day, they woke up, had a quick breakfast, and continued on their way.

In the mountains, Officer Miao led them to gather many wild vegetables.

Wang Bin wanted to say he had enough food for everyone, but he held back. His backpack space was limited, and he couldn't keep pulling food out of his system space without revealing his secret.

Moreover, he didn't want them to become overly reliant on him, as that would lead to laziness.

In the apocalypse, laziness could be very dangerous.

For the next two days, they continued through the mountains.

The mountains were much safer than the city, with almost no zombies encountered.

On the fourth day, they finally reached the plains. Looking down from the mountain top, they saw many villages and towns below.

"Should we go down?" After spending so many days in the zombie-free mountains, Officer Miao was instinctively reluctant to enter the city.

"Judging by the sky, it might rain soon. Let's find a place to stay and check the city for tents and other supplies," Wang Bin said, glancing at the sky. It was overcast, and although it wasn't raining yet, he suspected it might soon.

They had no rain gear, and if it rained, there would be nowhere to take shelter in the mountains, and getting soaked could lead to illness.

"Alright, everyone be careful going down, especially when entering the city. Be on guard against others!"

"Understood!"

Officer Miao reminded them, and everyone responded in unison, gripping their guns tightly as they headed down the mountain.
