The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 666 - 659 Different

The bodies were indeed moving, but they weren’t getting up and frantically biting people; they were trembling slightly. If one wasn’t looking closely, they might not even notice the bodies were moving.

Or perhaps these bodies weren’t bodies at all, but rather people who hadn’t yet completely died—who could say? However, under these circumstances, no one would think that way.

According to the habits of the Serpent People, not turning someone into a zombie was simply a waste.

"It’s moving, it’s really moving..."

Grewatov’s face was grim as he said in a deep voice, "According to past patterns, normal humans who are infected by the virus and become zombies usually take four hours. Those infected by contact with monsters take half an hour to an hour to turn, but this kind... is unpredictable."

God knows how long it would take for someone who was directly injected with the Serpent People’s vaccine to turn into a zombie—it could be an hour, or even a minute; both were possibilities.

Yang Yi took ten seconds to decide what to do, then he waved his hand.

"Run!"

Communications were already cut off, so contacting people who had set out earlier was impossible.

When faced with tens of thousands of people who had turned into corpses, which could become zombies at any moment, the notion of escaping on foot was far too naive.

So, going by car was still the answer, and whether that would attract the attention of the Serpent People was a risk they’d have to take.

"Drive away, this way!"

"No, take the armored vehicle, this way!"

Driving was fast, but driving an armored vehicle was safe.

When possibly facing an attack from tens of thousands of zombies, there was an obvious difference between driving a car and an armored vehicle.

Djibouti was short on many things, but not on tanks and armored vehicles, especially around the underground bunkers, where armored vehicles were plentiful.

"Should we look for wheeled armored vehicles or tracked ones?"

Zhang Yong asked, but Grewatov just yelled, "Pick the one with the most fuel!"

Fleeing from Djibouti meant heading west because the sea lay to the east, and Yang Yi and his group, located at the docks, would have to cross the entire Djibouti City District.

With two nuclear bombs detonated, who knew how the roads would be affected, so escaping was a significant challenge.

Yang Yi shouted, "Take two armored vehicles..."

Having two for insurance seemed wiser. People were split into two groups, storming into the armored vehicles, dragging out the occupants, starting the engines, all in one fluid motion.

From the decision to flee to getting the armored vehicles moving, it took less than two minutes. Anton was driving one for the Water Organization, while Yang Yi and Zhang Yong were on the roof, one looking up at the sky, the other watching the corpses on the ground.

"It’s moving, it’s moving, it’s moving..."

Zhang Yong pointed at several bodies on the ground and yelled again, but Yang Yi was watching the Serpent People in the sky, and it seemed as if a flying vehicle with a blue light at its tail was descending.

With hearts in their throats, Zhang Yong suddenly changed the subject, urgently saying to Yang Yi, "I don’t think we’re going to make it out. Hurry up and tell me what a Hall Thruster is!"

Even in this critical moment, Zhang Yong remembered the Hall Thruster.

Seeing Yang Yi’s surprised look, Zhang Yong nodded seriously and said, "Quick, tell me! You know I hate it when people don’t finish what they’re saying. What exactly is a Hall Thruster?"

Yang Yi exhaled and looked up again at the flying vehicle, saying, "There are two types of Hall Thrusters, one is a steady-state plasma thruster, and the other is one with an anode layer."

Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment, while Yang Yi watched the aircraft fly far overhead before it seemed to land on the ground.

It landed, but not heading towards Yang Yi and his group, which relieved Yang Yi a lot.

"And then?"

Zhang Yong still looked at Yang Yi with curiosity. Finally, Yang Yi couldn’t help saying, "Brother Yong! Now’s not the time for this, right?"

Zhang Yong spread his hands, then he said very seriously, "Look, above us are aliens, and the ground is full of dead people. But the Serpent People aren’t bothering us right now, and the dead haven’t turned into zombies, so speaking up now won’t hold us back from frantically running away, right? What else can we do? I’m afraid if we don’t talk now, we’ll never get the chance."

After a moment of silence, Yang Yi calmly said, "Deflected electrons collide with the propellant molecules entering the annular discharge chamber through the anode, ionizing and forming a plasma. The ions are then accelerated along the axis by the electromagnetic field and expelled at high speeds, thereby generating thrust. Hmm, I’ve put it simply for you, do you understand?"

Zhang Yong was stunned again, then he nodded and said, "Oh."

Now Yang Yi was really uncomfortable and couldn’t help saying, "Do you understand? I didn’t explain it all."

Zhang Yong waved his hand and said, "Hey, does it matter if I understand or not? It’s enough to know what’s going on, right?"

"So Brother Yong, do you understand what’s going on or not?"

Zhang Yong looked at Yang Yi dissatisfiedly and said, "What time is it, and you’re telling me all this? What’s wrong with you, can’t you prioritize things?"

Yang Yi really wanted to kill Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong pointed at a few corpses by the road and said, "See? Those corpses just twitched slightly earlier, now they’re starting to move a lot more. It’s been only seven minutes, I think in half an hour at most, the dead will turn into zombies..."

Zhang Yong’s eyesight was sharp; there was no doubt about it. Even though they were racing past, he could still tell the shaking of the bodies had increased.

But now Yang Yi didn’t want to deal with Zhang Yong anymore.

Zhang Yong suddenly nudged Yang Yi with his elbow and said with a sly look, "Little Egg, you’ve got guts now, huh? Flaunting in front of Kate, pulling Xiao Ran, you must feel no regrets even if you die, but it’s a pity you won’t get any further opportunities. Are you disappointed?"

"Brother Yong, can we rest for a while...please?"

Zhang Yong looked disdainful and glanced back at the armored vehicle, saying, "That Hall Thruster..."

"If you talk to me about the Hall Thruster again, I’ll kick you out! Do you believe me? Believe it or not!"

"Look at you, ready to kick me out, you should try, see if I don’t break your leg. You just remember well, was it Petra who told you? Ah, speaking of Petra... Hmm, I think you can..."

Suddenly Yang Yi shouted, "Zombies! Zombies!"

Zhang Yong instantly turned his head to scan around, urgently saying, "Where? I don’t see any. Are there bodies? Have they turned into zombies?"

Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, thankful that he managed to divert Zhang Yong’s attention. But after a quick survey, Zhang Yong suddenly pointed ahead and said, "They moved, they’re getting up! Damn, they really turned into zombies!"

In Djibouti, the most numerous were the soldiers of the Sanitation Workers, and the soldiers didn’t all gather together. But walking along the main road out of the city, it was unavoidable to encounter small units that were troops in life and now small groups of zombies in death.

More than a dozen people staggered to their feet and directly looked towards the armored vehicle passing by on the road.

"Turn around, no, run them over!"

Just when Yang Yi decided to test whether these people had truly become zombies or not, the dozen people who stood up also started running towards the armored vehicle.

Zhang Yong said bitterly, "A hassle in life, an even bigger hassle in death, Sanitation Workers oh Sanitation Workers, damn, so fast!"
