Chapter 156 Speed-Type Zombies?

When it was time to set off, Gu Tangxi and the others realized someone was missing from the car. Shen Ye’s group didn’t matter, as they were just temporary collaborators, but what about Luo Wu Sorrow? Or rather, where was Luo Shuyou? Even that weirdo, Li Shi, was gone.

Gu Tangxi cursed inwardly, “Where did that eerie Luo Wu Sorrow take my precious Luo Shuyou’s body to die?”

Gu Tangxi looked around, unwilling to give up. The car was only so big; she couldn’t conjure up two more people out of thin air. Abandoning the pointless search, Gu Tangxi asked Xie YunChuan, “Where’s Luo Wu Sorrow? You just let him take Luo Shuyou away like that?”

Xie YunChuan had already noticed their confused expressions and searching gazes. He replied, “Just ten days. He’ll be waiting for me in Muxi City after ten days.”

By then, his Luo Shuyou would return.

Gu Tangxi and the others didn’t understand Luo Wu Sorrow, nor did they know the situation between Luo Wu Sorrow and Luo Shuyou. Hearing this, they worriedly asked, “Are you sure he’ll keep his word? What if he just occupies Luo Shuyou’s body and enjoys himself, never coming back?”

Historically, two tigers can’t share a mountain, let alone two souls in one body. The struggle for control of the body between the dominant and submissive personalities is a common phenomenon among people with split personalities.

Luo Shuyou is so weak and easily bullied; he definitely can’t win against Luo Wu Sorrow, that perverted powerhouse!

Xie YunChuan slightly tightened his left hand on his knee, his tone firm. “He will.”

He definitely will.

This was to convince Gu Tangxi, but also to tell himself not to panic, that everything would arrive as scheduled.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Xie YunChuan’s intuition was never wrong. Luo Wu Sorrow and Luo Shuyou weren’t competitors, but… Xie YunChuan didn’t know how to define their relationship. However, he had always regarded Luo Wu Sorrow as Luo Shuyou’s brother because Luo Wu Sorrow’s love for Luo Shuyou was no less than his own, only he couldn’t understand what kind of emotion it really was.

On one hand, Xie YunChuan firmly believed that Luo Wu Sorrow wouldn’t harm Luo Shuyou. On the other hand, Xie YunChuan knew he couldn’t prevent any action Luo Wu Sorrow took.

Therefore, there was no need to argue about a foregone conclusion.

Gu Tangxi was relieved by his affirmative tone. Without a doubt, Xie YunChuan was the one who cared about Luo Shuyou the most here. Since he had given a definite answer, there was no need to worry anymore. “Then let’s hurry and leave for Muxi City.”

Ten days. It would take about five days to get there from here under normal circumstances, and with some unexpected delays along the way, ten days was still a tight squeeze.

Luo Wu Sorrow’s casual remark definitely wasn’t about just any random place; he had chosen it deliberately. Muxi City happened to be a necessary stop on the way from here to Li City.

…

Two days later, Xie YunChuan’s car drove into a dense forest. Winter frost swept the fallen leaves, but the mountain forest, which should have been withered and desolate, showed no signs of loneliness. “How strange, this forest seems to be full of evergreens.” There were many kinds of trees that were evergreen, but the strange thing was that every tree in this forest seemed to be.

Xu Yuzhe pointed out the window, “Not entirely, look, isn’t that a dead tree?”

Gu Tangyue looked in the direction he was pointing, and a tree branch flashed past the window. “Indeed, thankfully, it’s not all dense green.”

Gu Tangxi laughed, “Isn’t a vibrant green a good thing? Do you only like it when everything is withered and desolate?”

Gu Tangyue grumbled with low spirits, “Anything abnormal must be a demon. I’m scared. We’ve only been going smoothly for these two days. I don’t want to accidentally enter some dangerous place full of demons and monsters again.”

Gu Tangxi comforted, “Don’t be so paranoid and scare yourself. This is far from the city, and there are no villages in sight. What monsters could there be in a deep mountain forest? It can’t be animals that have become spirits, can it?”

So far, they hadn’t seen any animals infected with the virus and mutated into zombie monsters, so they always believed that animals were immune to the virus.

Just because they hadn’t seen it didn’t mean it didn’t exist. Gu Tangyue’s words proved prophetic; there really were many ghosts and monsters in this mountain.

The car was driving very fast. At the entrance to the forest, no one noticed a sign partly obscured by the extending green leaves, which read in bold letters: “Wild Macaque Protection Base, Hunting of All Animals Prohibited.”

The entire forest was eerily silent. Apart from the roar of the car, there were no other noises. Xu Yuzhe said with a hint of unease, “This place is too quiet. Is it because winter has come and the animals are hibernating?” He felt like something was watching them from the shadows.

At that moment, a short burst of whirlwind suddenly swept across the front of the car, stirring up a lot of dust. Gu Tangxi was momentarily stunned and hesitantly asked, “Did you guys feel like that gust of wind just now was a bit strange?”

She wasn’t the only one who felt something was wrong. There were only four people in the car. Apart from Gu Tangyue, who was of a lower level, the other three had noticed the anomaly. However, only Xie YunChuan, a Level 5 ability user, saw some clues. “That seems to be… a Level 3 zombie?”

Logically, Xie YunChuan, a Level 5 ability user, shouldn’t have been unable to discern the level of a Level 3 zombie. But the zombie gave him a strange feeling. Its figure was hunched and small, and the energy it leaked was undoubtedly at Level 3, but its speed was far beyond what a mere Level 3 zombie could achieve. It was actually faster than Xu Yuzhe, a Level 3 wind-type ability user.

Xie YunChuan guessed, could it be a zombie that had evolved a speed-related talent skill?

“Level 3?”

It had to be said that when they heard Xie YunChuan’s Level 3 assessment, everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was abnormally fast, a mere Level 3 zombie was not to be feared.

They now had two Level 3 ability users, Xu Yuzhe and Gu Tangxi, plus Xie YunChuan, a Level 5 ability user two levels higher, to watch over them.

What’s more, Xie YunChuan was a triple-type ability user. In this case, they had two Level 3 ability users, two Level 4 ability users, plus a Level 5 ability user. What was there to fear from a Level 3 little zombie?

One wasn’t scary, but what if there were dozens or hundreds?

That strange wind sound occasionally swept around the car. Up to this point, Xie YunChuan and the others thought it was just that Level 3 zombie hopping around. It didn’t attack Xie YunChuan and the others, so they remained vigilant and only focused on accelerating forward.

The situation in this dense forest was unclear. It was better to avoid trouble if possible. If they could quickly escape the zombie’s territory, it was best not to stay. It wasn’t difficult to deal with that one zombie, but they feared there was more than just that one.

Who would have thought that a Level 3 zombie would be entrenched in the remote hinterland of this uninhabited forest?

Delay would only lead to complications.
