The Black man was instantly terrified, shaking his head repeatedly: "No, please don't kill me, I'm not one of them, please don't—" Snap! The beauty fired her gun at the chain next to the Black man, the handcuff chain binding him to the seat. Only after firing did she calmly state, "I only shoot monsters!" With that, she walked into the police station.

The officer immediately roared, "Where the hell are you going? This place is going absolutely insane right now!" The beauty replied without turning back, "To the checkpoint! Deputy Chief and the others are all there maintaining order. I heard Umbrella Corporation set up a new military checkpoint there; I'm going to see if that’s true!" Just then, a voice interjected, "Then can you take us with you?" Zheng Zha and the others had just stepped out of the office and happened to overhear the policewoman mention going to the checkpoint. Zheng Zha and the rest nodded simultaneously, and he quickly said the words just uttered.

The policewoman looked curiously at the eight people. She then continued without turning back, "If you're coming, hurry up and follow. If we took the police car, we could have arrived before dusk; now it looks like we'll be delayed." Nine people clearly couldn't fit in the police car. Therefore, this beautiful policewoman, named Jill Valentine, had to drive a prisoner transport vehicle toward the checkpoint. As a result, all eight ended up sitting in the vehicle's inmate compartment.

"You guys are awful! You had a chance to sit in the front seat. She's a great beauty! And think about her attire and her bold, sexy movements—what were my chances of getting with her? Looking at her figure, although her chest isn't as big as the one on our team—" Snap! "Boom!" Cheng Xiao swiftly sprang up from the ground again, a red handprint and black raccoon eyes visible on his face, yet he continued to chuckle lecherously.

Zheng Zha couldn't even be bothered to speak to him. He simply told the group, "I won't say much more. Everyone, check your weapons again carefully. Remember, these zombies are merely products of a techno-virus; they have nothing to do with spiritual entities or anything like that. Don't fear them; just blow their heads off with your guns or other weapons. And it’s best not to get hurt by them. Although we have potent antidotes, we don't know if they can treat the T-virus. Everyone, check your weapons now!" Hearing this, everyone took off the backpacks they were carrying. Zhang Heng always kept his ancient bow, Shooting Heaven Wolf, close at hand, merely wrapped in a thick cloth. He carefully unwrapped the cloth and took out the ancient, curved bow, Shooting Heaven Wolf. Judging solely by the external appearance of this ancient, rustic longbow, one could never imagine the immense power it possessed. Zhang Heng cared for it as if it were his own child. Then, Zhang Heng took out the +3 Sharpened Enchanted Arrows and carefully wiped them with the thick cloth.

Zhao Yingkong still carried the same weapons: a dagger burning with flames, over a dozen silver throwing knives, and a metal thread as fine as a strand of hair. Besides those, she only had the protective shield that everyone possessed. This little girl was currently holding a collection of poetry and gently reciting from it, seemingly unconcerned with the actions of others. Her cool, handsome features made Cheng Xiao drool.

Next was Xiao Honglu. In the previous horror film, his enchanted gun was taken by Cheng Xiao to block the Queen's attack and was subsequently smashed to pieces. This time, he directly redeemed a Magic Missile Staff. The explanation was that only those with enhanced magic network capabilities could use it, which suited him perfectly. A single Magic Missile Staff held forty rounds, so he immediately redeemed two, which was sufficient for general combat consumption.

Zhan Lan held a small submachine gun. For her, as a controller of psychic power, attack was secondary. Her greatest utility lay not in offensive power but in psychic scanning and the Mind Chain. The other team members would immediately guard her to protect her from dying amidst the chaos.

Cheng Xiao's massive axe was also slung across his back. Like Zhang Heng, his axe was wrapped in thick cloth. Although it looked large, its weight was actually very light, so he carried it on his back without issue. While it might have been intended to project the image of a tough, iron-blooded man, as Zheng Zha suggested, the effect was mostly comedic.

Zheng Zha carried more weapons: a micro heavy machine gun, a large amount of machine gun ammunition, a long-range sniper rifle, a submachine gun, plus over a dozen high-yield explosive charges, and a military knife. These items made him look like a powerful robot from a futuristic war film. Fortunately, he also had a spatial ring capable of holding a large number of items, which was certainly enough to accommodate all these weapons. This also made him the most unburdened member of the group.

After everyone finished checking their weapons, Zheng Zha sweetly knocked on the small window of the driver's cabin. A moment later, Jill opened the small window and glanced at the group.

Zheng Zha smiled and asked, "How long until we reach the checkpoint, approximately?" Jill replied while driving, "Sit tight. It’s still a long way from here to the checkpoint at the edge of the city. At this speed, we should arrive around seven o'clock. Too many wrecked cars are blocking the road, or we could go much faster."

Zheng Zha looked out the window. Indeed, many damaged vehicles were stopped on the street. However, the road was relatively wide, and there weren't too many damaged cars to completely halt the progress of the transport vehicle. Only after the small window flashed shut did he turn back and say, "Everyone, take a rest. It looks like this horror film will last a few more days. Regardless, rest whenever you can and conserve your energy."

Everyone nodded. Except for the sound of Zhao Yingkong's soft recitation of poetry, the others closed their eyes to doze. Only Jiang Zhe spoke up, "I'm sorry, could you give us some weapons? If this world really is the world of Resident Evil, I suppose we could be in danger at any moment, right? Even a low-power handgun would be fine; I don't want to be defenseless when facing danger."

Zheng Zha exchanged glances with the other team members. Except for Zhao Yingkong who ignored everyone, the others readily agreed. So, he took out two Desert Eagles and four magazines from his spatial ring: "Use these carefully. Although these are for you, you are unlikely to separate from the team, as your strength is relatively weak, and this horror film requires teamwork. In short, be careful and stick close to us on the team."

Xiao Honglu pinched his hair, seemingly wanting to say something, but after thinking it over, he said nothing, just closing his eyes to pretend to sleep as well.

Time moved forward continuously, and the journey was uneventful. The group left the police station a little after nine in the morning. By a little past twelve, Jill stopped the transport vehicle near a supermarket on the roadside. The area around it was utterly silent—not a single vehicle, not even a pedestrian. The supermarket had been smashed to pieces, glass fragments everywhere, and the main doors were wide open.

The group got out of the transport vehicle, and Jill then said, "Let's go into the supermarket to get something to eat. Remember, only eat canned or packaged food. For fresh water, only drink bottled water. Absolutely do not eat anything exposed. I heard that eating those things turns you into one of those man-eating monsters." Zheng Zha walked at the front of the team and smiled, saying, "Why did you fire your weapon this morning? If those people were living humans, wouldn't you have risked killing ordinary people? Weren't you afraid at that moment?" Jill shook her head, "On the road, I saw a man whose lower body was crushed by a car, yet he kept moving forward using his upper body, then leaned over a corpse and began gnawing furiously. From that moment, I knew they weren't living creatures. At least, I don't know of any human who can survive with their blood completely coagulated. Let's go."

The group asked no more questions and followed Jill into the supermarket. It was clear that many people had already looted this supermarket. Almost all the canned food and sealed water had been stolen. What remained were only scattered packaged snacks or bottled water or drinks. In short, the canned food the group was looking for was nowhere to be found.

Jill sighed, "Forget it, we'll just bear it and eat with them when we get to the checkpoint. Does anyone need to use the restroom? I'll say this now: I won't stop again." Zheng Zha smiled and said, "Forget it. We'll eat the compressed rations we brought. It’s also a thank you for taking us to the checkpoint."

Jill looked strangely at Zheng Zha as he took two small glass vials from his spatial ring. He poured one pill from a vial and said, "Eat this. One is a compressed ration, and the other is solid water." He then spread the two pill-like objects in his palm and offered them.

Jill took the two pills and looked at them strangely. Only when she saw Zheng Zha also pour one pill and swallow it did she slowly bring the items to her mouth. But before she could react, the buzzing sound of a rotor suddenly came from outside the supermarket. Hearing it, Zheng Zha and the other five immediately rushed outside, leaving Jill and the two newcomers standing there dumbfounded.

Outside the supermarket, three helicopters were flying directly over their heads. Vaguely visible, the helicopters were packed with mercenary members. And these helicopters represented the hope for the group to complete this horror film mission! Leap to...
