BC Chapter 124

Because the situation with the zombie horde’s chaotic infighting was quite critical, the five people who had fallen behind only took a short rest before hurrying to catch up with Chen Li, moving towards the group of survivors. Leng Dongchi, especially worried about something happening to Chen Li, dared not delay.

Once zombies become chaotic, they are completely indiscriminate. Except for not biting themselves, anything moving nearby is fair game and they won’t let go. The survivors who had been quietly hiding by the roadside, using the spaced-out greenery for cover, now suffered. The zombie swarm that had been moving in an orderly fashion on the street exploded, and many of the zombies on the street were pushed to the side.

Such close-range contact directly caused the mentally strained survivors to break down. Some people recklessly started running, but Old Du’s knife was faster.

Old Du was already heading towards the front of the group. With the zombie swarm in chaos, he didn’t need to hold back. He casually took care of seven or eight zombies that bumped into him and rushed to the front half of the team. Seeing the sudden change and the original plan completely disrupted, it was completely unrealistic to protect so many “food” from the mouths of a large group of zombies. And there were still two useless guys causing internal strife in the back.

Might as well just kill them.

Anyway, the old men’s flesh wasn’t very tasty, and they still had enough strength to support their escape. It was better to get rid of them than to leave them as a burden.

The guy who had his neck slit only felt a chill on his skin. Before he could even react, he took two more steps before feeling a heat on his neck, and blood spurted out under pressure. He staggered and fell to the ground.

The dark night posed no obstacle to Old Du. He raised his scalpel, counting the men and women from the front of the group, and then rushed into the crowd, playing the role of executioner. He killed all the men with a single blow, leaving only the women and children.

These poor ordinary people had no strength to resist. As a mutant, Old Du was faster and more brutal than them, and he also had his favorite weapon. To these people, he was like the grim reaper.

Chen Li, who had already reached the vicinity of the survivors on the wall, had witnessed Old Du’s massacre of the male survivors from the very beginning. She was about to call out to the people below to get on the wall and help them escape the zombie horde, but before she could speak, she encountered a bloody slaughter. The reason why the survivors who were being killed and terrified didn’t shout in this situation was because their mouths were blocked, either with rags or tape, to prevent them from accidentally making noise and attracting the attention of ordinary zombies.

Chen Li immediately recognized the other party’s exceptional nature and judged that the person was a mutant from their continuous actions. Moreover, it seemed that they were more agile than any of the six of them. The originally smooth rescue plan became very awkward in the current situation. One wrong move, and forget about rescuing these ordinary people, the six of them might end up in the hands of this madman below.

Just as Chen Li was hesitating to find a way to rescue the survivors below without being noticed by the guy in the dirty white coat, something unexpected happened again…

…

Unlike ordinary zombies, secondarily evolved zombies no longer act solely on the instinct to hunt. They possess rudimentary intelligence, or rather, they still retain a portion of their human consciousness. With accumulated experience, they can develop more refined combat skills. Furthermore, they have a stronger desire to hunt immune individuals who have also undergone viral evolution but have not been harmed, such as Zhou Yuanyuan, Lu Ziming, and He Linglong. It’s like wild beasts inherently knowing whether the enemy they are facing is strong or weak.

For mutated zombies, mutants are like freshly baked desserts in a roadside bakery, emitting an enticing aroma, and are the best “food” for them. Instinct tells them that consuming these individuals will make them stronger.

Therefore, early in the chaos, two mutated zombies had already been slaughtering the ordinary zombies blocking their path from the two furthest ends of the zombie horde, rushing towards the fresh blood and the scent of mutants.

The two completely disregarded the lives of ordinary zombies, as if they were treating the entire zombie horde as an obstacle course. They kicked down those they could, used those still wriggling on the ground as stepping stones, and vaulted over those that were just the right size. Although the distance was quite far, the two zombies were not slowing down at all, and their movement was only slightly hindered as they traversed the zombie-filled street.

Soon, the first zombie followed the scent of the mutants and arrived at its target.

It was the battle scene between the strong man Da You and the young man A Yan.

With the addition of the first mutated zombie to the battle, and after Da You had a piece of flesh torn from his shoulder while trying to avoid the military knife in A Yan’s hand, the best opportunity to rescue everyone had appeared for Chen Li and the other five.

The second mutated zombie that rushed towards the long-haired man Old Du arrived not long after the first one. So, the three perverted cannibals from both sides were directly entangled by the two troublesome mutated zombies.

If He Linglong and Zhou Yuanyuan were nearby, they would have quickly recognized that these two were the mutated zombies that had almost killed the three of them in the parking lot.

The zombie that rushed towards Old Du immediately used its hard, black, long fingernails to cut a gash in Old Du’s abdomen. Although Old Du dodged quickly and there was clothing in the way, so it was only a shallow scratch across Old Du’s belly, this situation was enough to scare the originally calm Old Du into a cold sweat.

Although his physical qualities, speed, and resistance to blows had greatly improved after mutation, his self-healing ability was much worse, only slightly stronger than a normal person’s, far from being able to ignore most physical damage. If he had reacted slower just now, he might have been lying on the ground with his entrails spilling out.
