BC Chapter 129
by VolareIt’s unknown if it was because the explosions in the suburbs and the riot in the city had attracted many zombies, but the area where Yao Jinglin and her team were located had only a few zombies left. Moreover, the vast majority of them were slow in movement and reaction. This gave Yao Jinglin, Lin Xiang, and others more time for rescue without having to expend too much energy avoiding the zombies roaming the streets. Under this major premise, Yao Jinglin and her team’s rescue efforts were significantly effective.
The number of people at the place where Zhang Yan and the students were located gradually increased. With more people, everyone’s courage also increased. After investigating the situation, several strong young men even took turns eliminating many remaining zombies. Of course, this was after Yao Jinglin and her team had dealt with some of the stronger zombies.
The process of Yao Jinglin and her team advancing inward along the city’s outer ring road was unbelievably smooth. Not only did they encounter fewer zombies, but they also didn’t encounter any terrifying mutated zombies, and they successfully rescued many stranded survivors. Having witnessed the near wipeout of their team in a previous battle, Yao Jinglin no longer underestimated these seemingly mindless zombies. Because no one could say whether the current situation was the calm before the storm, everyone didn’t feel relieved or relaxed, but instead kept their nerves taut, ready to deal with unexpected situations.
Fortunately, as the rescue team’s front line expanded over the past few days, the unexpected situation that Yao Jinglin was worried about didn’t occur. However, without transportation, it became increasingly difficult for her group to travel back and forth between the sales center where the students were and the temporary rescue site. Therefore, they had to choose another place to shelter the survivors, thereby avoiding the physical exertion of escorting the survivors to the temporary rescue site.
The new temporary rescue site was chosen in an abandoned kindergarten near the outer ring road.
Because it had been abandoned for some time, it could be ensured that there were no infected zombies inside. Moreover, the kindergarten was surrounded by a fence as tall as a person, which was convenient for normal people to enter and exit, and could also block the zombies wandering outside. At the same time, it also provided a clear view for observing the outside situation at any time. After the second temporary rescue site gradually became more crowded, Yao Jinglin naturally organized a mutual aid rescue model based on her experience managing the survivors at the sales center. Everyone did what they could, and under this orderly arrangement, the psychological shadow formed in the survivors’ hearts from avoiding the terrifying zombies these days gradually began to fade.
Everyone passed a few peaceful days with a clear division of labor, and successively discovered many survivors with relatively strong survival skills. Although everyone’s appearance had become dusty and disheveled after so many days of struggling, their mental state was good, with clear eyes and minds. Most importantly, these people had excellent physical qualities and strength. Therefore, the order of the second temporary rescue site was established in this way.
Just when everyone thought that everything was finally starting to develop in a good direction, a piece of bad news was brought back along with two members of the resource searching team who returned covered in injuries.
The other two people were attacked by a very fast zombie and were eaten by a group of ordinary zombies.
The scene was extremely tragic, as if the two of the ten tortures, slow slicing and dismemberment by five horses, were simultaneously performed on the two. The two survivors who recounted the situation were still shaking uncontrollably, and everyone standing aside listening seemed to recall the various thrilling and terrifying experiences they had encountered before, and their faces were pale.
The two who ran back were not only injured but also had unidentified liquid on them from being blocked by zombies. They couldn’t tell if it was fluid from the dead or blood from the zombies, but they knew it smelled really bad, with a rotten stench mixed with a deep fishy smell.
Although everyone had only managed to collect some drinkable water in these past few days, they still took out two bottles for the two to rinse themselves.
After all, the few went out to search for supplies for everyone. As for the unfortunate encounter with mutated zombies, it could only be said to be unavoidable.
When the two ran back, Lin Xiang had just replaced the busy Yao Jinglin, allowing her to take a break. After all, she had been in charge of the rescue efforts these days, and she had done many things with everyone.
After the division of labor was decided today, everyone was afraid that Yao Jinglin was too tired, so they didn’t let her continue to go out to search for supplies.
Although Yao Jinglin always felt like she was holding a tight string in her heart and couldn’t relax, she couldn’t resist everyone’s kindness, so she agreed. As a result, this kind of thing happened less than ten minutes after she started resting.
