Chapter 124

At their first meeting, the previously arrogant cannibal trio suffered from their ignorance. Actually, it could be said that they had been too lucky before, never encountering any powerful mutated zombies, which allowed them to successfully dominate ordinary people for so long. Just like the gang destroyed by He Linglong before, the people who controlled everyone were just ordinary thugs. They were also able to oppress those men and women for so long without encountering mutated zombies.

It wasn’t until the zombies rushed close and scratched their shoulders that Da You and A Yan finally paid attention to the changing situation and the gradually chaotic zombie horde around them.

Surrounded by both ordinary and mutated zombies, they not only had to deal with the constantly lunging and disruptive ordinary zombies, but also the very tricky mutated zombies. The difference between mutated zombies and mutants is that—except when they are unable to move, their attacks are continuous and powerful.

Just like the mutated zombie that had just rushed into the battle, after scratching Da You’s shoulder, it didn’t retreat. Instead, while Da You subconsciously dodged, it leaped over Da You and pounced towards A Yan on the opposite side.

Fortunately, A Yan had a little time to react. Facing the zombie’s withered claws grabbing towards him, he directly raised his knife and met the zombie’s hand. The blade met the palm and, with a forceful lift, directly cut the zombie’s hand open. Penetrating from the center of the palm and slicing towards the fingers, the zombie’s entire hand was severed along the middle finger and ring finger bones.

“It appeared! It appeared! Finally—it appeared!!” After a successful strike, A Yan immediately spun around and dodged to the side. He didn’t seem afraid at all, but rather excited, muttering with a fanatical smile hanging on his lips. He had long guessed that mutated zombies would appear in the zombie horde. After all, even mutants like them existed. With so many infected people, it was only natural for some different individuals to appear. And now, the appearance of the mutated zombie finally confirmed his idea. He wanted to take this opportunity to see the differences between mutants and mutated zombies.

“Damn it, this lunatic…” After dodging the mutated zombie, Da You turned around and saw A Yan smiling excitedly. He gritted his teeth and cursed, raising his axe and chopping towards the back of the mutated zombie’s head. To completely solve these kinds of guys, it was not difficult to guess that the connection between the brain and the body had to be severed. The easiest way to do this was to cut off the neck…

Old Du, still in shock from the front of the team, did not get a chance to catch his breath after being injured by the opponent. He could only rely on dodging and weaving to cope with the mutated zombie’s chaotic but vicious attacks.

At this time, the five people behind finally arrived next to Chen Li. Looking at the tense and fierce fighting below, several people secretly swallowed their saliva—thankfully they hadn’t encountered this kind of mutated zombie when they were fighting the ordinary zombies below. Otherwise, even if there were six more of them, it wouldn’t be enough for this mutated guy to fill its teeth.

He Linglong, who was behind, was the first to react. She whispered a few words to the people in front, and they passed the words one by one to Chen Li. Chen Li looked back worriedly. He Linglong smiled and gave her a thumbs up, indicating that she was okay, and then she lightly jumped off the wall.

She planned to go down to rescue the remaining survivors. If she delayed any longer, more people would die, and the bloody smell would attract more ordinary zombies. It was hard to guarantee that more energetic and powerful mutated zombies like the one below wouldn’t appear. At that time, not only would they not be able to rescue anyone, but even the six of them might be sacrificed.

Although He Linglong had only been infected for a short time, she was originally a retired soldier, and her physical condition and other aspects were the best among the six. Therefore, she was the most suitable person to go down and rescue people. Her training and combat experience were sufficient, so she was most likely to retreat unscathed when dealing with some emergencies.

The reason why she took the initiative to go with Zhou Yuanyuan like Jiang Juncheng was firstly because she owed the two of them a life-saving grace, and secondly, she knew that she was the most suitable candidate to take the lead in the rescue. After all, as a former soldier, she couldn’t completely ignore the weak and suffering ordinary people.

He Linglong’s movements were light and swift. After landing, she quickly ran to the side of the hiding survivors, escorted them to the foot of the wall, and then the people on the wall worked together to pull the survivors up and place them on the other side of the wall. The inside of this wall was an elementary school. At this time, the playground was quiet and dark. After discussing it, they felt that they could first transfer everyone to the inside of the wall to temporarily isolate them from the zombie horde. As for the escape route later, they hadn’t decided yet. Liu Qingyu went down the wall first on the inside to be responsible for receiving the survivors they rescued and to help everyone check for any accidental wounds and eliminate potential risks of infection.

Although everyone was cooperating collectively for the first time, the critical situation at this time made everyone tense, so the efficiency of rescuing people was unexpectedly high, and no one made any mistakes. Soon, He Linglong came to Dai Qianya and Jin Shengzhe’s side. Unexpectedly, Dai Qianya, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, refused to escape with He Linglong. She just tore off the sealing tape, untied Jin Shengzhe from her body and handed him to He Linglong, saying, “Please save our Shengzhe. I only hope that he can live healthily. Please protect him! Thank you!!” As she spoke, she was about to kneel down to He Linglong, but He Linglong grabbed her arm and said, “Wait a little longer, there’s no need to give up now!! Even if you are scratched, you won’t necessarily become a zombie like them! Come with me! Your son is still young, he needs a mother!!”

Of course, He Linglong saw the obvious scratch wound on Dai Qianya’s other hand, but when she thought of herself and the current number of mutants, she still had a glimmer of hope, so she didn’t plan to give up on the injured Dai Qianya, and brought both mother and son to the foot of the wall.

Zhou Yuanyuan, sitting on the wall, naturally saw the two of them, and pursed her lips happily. Before she could say anything, tears fell first. But this was not a good time for sentimentality, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears in a panic, and after rescuing the two, she nodded to He Linglong with red eyes.
