BC Chapter 137

In Yao Jinglin’s view, the movements of those two mutated zombies had clearly deviated from the range of normal humans. Whether it was their speed, movements, or the flexibility of their bodies, they were unmatched by ordinary humans. It was precisely because of this that ordinary survivors were almost unable to escape from them. When the mutated zombies ran, their bodies leaned forward subconsciously, more like the common posture of beasts charging, completely different from the clumsy ordinary zombies. Compared to humans, who have the intention of stopping at any time while running, they seemed to be always reckless, as if even if there was a dead-end wall in front of them, they could easily resolve the crisis without dodging.

Yao Jinglin’s face was frosty as she retracted half of her face from the corner of the wall. Her eyes darted around as she considered a countermeasure. At this moment, even if she and Lin Xiang were determined to risk their lives to fight, their chances of winning were not high. This was because they didn’t even have a decent weapon in their hands right now. Charging up would just be delivering food to the mutated zombies.

Moreover, their purpose here was not to wipe out all the zombies, but to rescue as many survivors as possible. If they wanted to avoid a direct conflict with the two mutated zombies, the next route could only be temporarily changed to take the alley.

Compared to the main road, the alley was more dangerous for the survivors. After all, it was easy to be surrounded by zombies from the front and back when the field of vision was limited. Moreover, once they encountered zombies, they couldn’t use their skills at all in the process of maneuvering. Therefore, for so long, Yao Jinglin had mainly taken the main roads and main streets during the rescue process. Although there were many obstacles, at least everyone’s basic safety was guaranteed. Most of the dangerous things were done by her and Lin Xiang, so they were able to save nearly seventy people in such a short period of time.

However, the current situation was indeed special, so even if everyone had to bear some risks, there was nothing they could do. After all, a direct conflict would inevitably cause casualties among the existing survivors, and Yao Jinglin, as the captain of the rescue team, could not accept this outcome, regardless of whether the number was large or small.

After the mission was over, the report might only have a few monotonous and cold numbers in the end, but for Yao Jinglin, those were all vivid lives that she remembered deeply. Everyone had a unique life and should not be easily abandoned like that!

Thinking of this, she had already made her next plan. Gritting her teeth, she turned to meet Lin Xiang’s inquiring gaze. She was about to open her mouth to say “retreat first” when her attention was drawn by a cold light from above behind Lin Xiang.

Her muscle memory, honed through hundreds of battles, made her pull Lin Xiang into her arms almost without thinking, while turning to the left rear. The two of them used the force of the rotation to fall and roll out of the way.

Seeing that the two had dodged the attack range of the cold light, Yao Jinglin released Lin Xiang, supported herself with one hand, and used the force of her knees and toes to spin around. She turned half a circle and used the momentum to get up. Then, she looked in the direction of the attack, still in shock.

Almost at the same time, as she got up, she suddenly felt a looseness in the position of her ribs and realized that the bulletproof vest with the word “Rescue” that she had been wearing had been cut open on the side, just below her right rib.

And at the location where the cold light had just landed, a boy who didn’t look very old was holding a knife in one hand and a small axe in the other, looking over with a foolish smile: “Oops, what to do, you… were dis-co-vered…” As he spoke, he smiled and raised the hand holding the knife, pointing it in the direction of the mutated zombies and ordinary zombies…

Lin Xiang had also quickly gotten up at this time and stood beside Yao Jinglin. She pulled out the dagger she always carried with her from the strap on her leg, staring at the boy who wanted to kill them with a fiery gaze and a expressionless face.

Hearing the boy’s words, Yao Jinglin and Lin Xiang’s hearts sank at the same time. They quickly turned to look in the direction of the mutated zombies.

As the boy said, the two mutated zombies had sensed their presence and were coming in response, moving very quickly.

“How is it? Beg me? I’ll help you deal with one? Hehe.” The boy, who had been preparing to attack the two just now, suddenly changed his tune, as if he had gone mad. He tilted his head and proposed indifferently.

This boy was the mad youth A Yan who had caused the riot on another street before. Judging from the axe in his hand, Da You, who was also entangled by mutated zombies, should have died in the zombie pile, so his weapon was now in A Yan’s hands.

Yao Jinglin and Lin Xiang did not communicate with each other verbally. However, after seeing A Yan’s performance and hearing his crazy words, they both made a judgment in their hearts. So, in the next second, the two exchanged glances without showing any signs, and then burst out at the same time, rushing towards A Yan…
