BC Chapter 171

Chapter 170

It was clear that the people who armed themselves so thoroughly, not even exposing an inch of skin, were beings who couldn’t show their faces publicly. Or rather, they originally had respectable social status, but what they were doing now couldn’t see the light of day, so they had to conceal their identities by being fully armed.

Secondly, from their equipment, it could be judged that these people weren’t survivors who had luckily lived through the initial outbreak in Qingshui City. In other words, they were neither government personnel nor ordinary civilians…

A conflict usually arises from the opposition of two sides. If He Linglong and Jiang Juncheng’s identities were those of ordinary civilians, then regardless of whether the other party was government personnel or, like them, civilians, the tense situation before them shouldn’t be happening.

That is to say, the other party’s identity was in opposition to law-abiding citizens and the government – lawbreakers. If it were ordinary unlawful violence, then the other party wouldn’t have needed to knock out Qian Junchen, that scum, nor would they have such exaggerated weapons as silenced pistols. At this crucial point where things were about to wrap up, the only ones who would do this and have the strength to do it were the research base’s direct affiliate – Longtai.

After dodging the opponent’s shots and slipping into the alleyway in a flash of lightning, He Linglong had already sorted out the current situation in her mind. Upon realizing the other party’s goal, she didn’t hesitate for a moment and charged towards the long, writhing horde of zombies on the street at the end of the alleyway with Jiang Juncheng.

The first time she encountered Longtai’s people was in the underground laboratory when preparing to look for evidence. At that time, in order to simultaneously deal with the other party’s five mercenaries, she chose to detonate the laboratory. Now the other party had four people who were skilled and carried powerful weapons. Not only did she not have any partners to help, but she also had to take care of Jiang Juncheng, an ordinary person. It was obviously impossible to choose to confront them head-on. The only thing she could do was avoid their sharp edge. Of the thirty-six stratagems, running was the best. So even though she knew that rushing out of the alleyway at this time would mean facing an endless tide of moving zombies, He Linglong still chose to charge head-on.

After all, with her current skills, dealing with these unintelligent and slow-reacting ordinary zombies was very easy. Even if she had to protect Jiang Juncheng in a less densely packed zombie horde, it wouldn’t be a big problem. But if she chose to go back and fight those men in black head-on, she was confident that she could ensure her own safety, but Jiang Juncheng would be in danger.

This was a result she couldn’t accept, so at this time, she had no choice but to bury herself in becoming a human-shaped zombie killing machine, reaping the heads of the zombies in front of her like a whirlwind. Every rise and fall of her arm signaled that a zombie had finally been lucky enough to end its walking dead life. She protected Jiang Juncheng, who was following closely behind her, with one hand, and accurately smashed the nerve centers of the zombies in front of her with the other. Her long legs swept out, and a wave of zombies was knocked to the ground.

The two continued to move towards the center of the zombie horde, and the edge of the zombie army that had been torn open by the two was gradually returning to its state of moving shoulder to shoulder. By the time the vigilant men had realized that He Linglong had run away with Jiang Juncheng, they chased over and saw that the two had already gone deep into the center of the zombie tide. Before them were all kinds of zombies staggering and stumbling forward,Crowd together.

“Boss, that woman is also an advanced mutant who naturally survived the virus devouring.” The black-clothed man who spoke was the very one who had just opened fire on He Linglong.

“I see that. To actually have the guts to rush into the zombie horde with an ordinary person, she really doesn’t value her life…” The man in black at the front of the team was tall and thin, speaking in somewhat broken Mandarin. He looked at the direction of He Linglong and the others and sized up the zombie tide in front of him. After clenching his fist unwillingly, he said, “Get that kid back first to report. The rest will be arranged by the higher-ups. Let’s go!”

The figures of the men faced away from the zombie tide and walked into the depths of the alleyway until they completely disappeared. After the men disappeared with Qian Junchen, only the moving noise of the zombie tide echoed in the alleyway. There was no trace between the buildings to prove the existence of those people just now.

…

“Quick! There! I saw Linglong and them!” Chen Li, who was at the head, was only focused on clearing the way, but Leng Dongchi, who was slightly taller, noticed the abnormal position of the zombie horde during the group’s movement. Then, under the rising severed limbs and black blood, he saw the two who were struggling to maintain a safe distance from the surrounding zombie horde.

When everyone gathered together and finally isolated themselves from the harassment of the zombie tide by relying on a section of fence, He Linglong was almost completely exhausted and collapsed halfway on the grass. After all, such a long period of uninterrupted combat had hardly given her any time to rest in the middle, from returning to the gym alone to climbing the building to confronting Qian Junchen and Jiang Xiao, and finally facing the pursuit of four unidentified men and head-on collision with the zombie horde, the time intervals were not long. It could be said that she was racing against the god of death who wanted to take Jiang Juncheng’s life.

Of course, Jiang Juncheng was also aware of this, so even though he was also sore and mentally exhausted at this time, he didn’t choose to rest in place. Instead, he struggled to move to He Linglong’s side, put an arm around her shoulder, and pressed her head on his shoulder, saying, “Don’t talk, rest first.”
