BC Chapter 97

Although the Jiang Juncheng family wasn’t short on money, that car was, after all, modified by her own hands, and it had come in handy several times. For an ordinary person like her, it was a considerable asset. Although that car could only be considered her first attempt at modification, it held a different significance for her. If possible, she didn’t want to just abandon her “Black Panther One” like that.

So, she immediately dismissed the idea of abandoning the car and jumping over the wall, thinking about whether there were any other ways to escape this predicament.

Then, she heard the sound of the rolling shutter door being pulled up from where He Linglong was crouching…

Drawn in by the sound, both Jiang and Zhou were dumbfounded when they saw the rolling shutter door being opened. Because of the physical conflict between the three of them just now, neither of them had bothered to study what He Linglong was doing. Although they had guessed that she might be trying to pry the door open, they really hadn’t expected He Linglong to actually unlock it.

Now, it was probably useless for He Linglong to refuse to communicate any further—what kind of person could develop such amazing skills? In any case, Jiang Juncheng knew that most wealthy families couldn’t train their children to become talents like this. So, there was only one answer: He Linglong was definitely a member of an unspeakable organization. Regardless of her identity, the information and inside stories she knew must be far more than ordinary citizens like Jiang and Zhou.

Just as Jiang and Zhou were still shocked by the “supernatural” methods He Linglong had displayed, two black shadows appeared on the street in the distance, rapidly traveling and leaping between the street surface and the walls. In the momentarily paused image as they flashed by, it could be seen that the clothes worn by the pair of black shadows were tattered, their hair sparse and matted with dirt. Their faces were gloomy, their skin sunken, and equally dirty, making it impossible to see their original features. Their nostrils were flared, as if they were trying to capture a special scent in the air while running. Where their eyes should have been, there were only a pair of gray and protruding orbs. From the bodies exposed from the tattered clothes, it could be seen that these two creatures were originally a man and a woman.

When the zombie horde was initially attracted by the sound and the movements of other zombies, these two creatures were still relatively far away. It wasn’t until they stopped and started again, following the zombie horde to a few hundred meters away from the parking lot, that the two creatures gradually used their superior sense of smell after mutation to capture a trace of the scent of evolved blood in the air. Only then did they truly become excited…

Unlike ordinary zombies, the flesh and blood of ordinary people no longer held much attraction for mutated zombies. The reason they still hunted humans with ordinary zombies was only because the actions of living people directly stimulated the violent and bloodthirsty factors in the mutated zombies’ bodies.

In other words, they attacked living people not to eat, but simply to kill for the sake of killing.

But now it was different. Their bodies instinctively told them that the sweet-smelling scent of evolved blood in the air was the real delicacy they had been searching for, and that this kind of consumption would accelerate their pace of becoming stronger.

Because, in order to survive, viruses, like fungi, would stimulate the host to do some special things to ensure their own survival, division, and evolution. So, at this moment, the two mutated zombies were just puppets controlled by the mutated viruses in their bodies.

The two mutated zombies ran incredibly fast. Although their vision was almost completely lost, their other senses used to compensate were very keen. Unlike the habitual random lunging of ordinary zombies, these two zombies could basically accurately avoid obstacles in front of them. Because they were moving fast enough, they could even briefly run parallel to the ground on walls, using inertia to avoid zombies, buildings, and plants that were blocking their path. However, their running posture no longer resembled that of humans, but more like agile cats. The reason for not using cheetahs to describe them was that the speed of these two creatures had not yet reached that abnormal level.

Just as He Linglong had raised the garage rolling shutter door to less than a meter above the ground, the two black shadows had already leaped in from outside the iron railing at the edge of the parking lot.

Zhou Yuanyuan and Jiang Juncheng had both witnessed the flexibility, speed, and attack power of mutated zombies. So, the first time those two zombies jumped in, Zhou Yuanyuan, who had already noticed that something bad was happening, anxiously patted the back of Jiang Juncheng’s hand that had just covered her mouth. Then, she pointed in that direction, gesturing for Jiang Juncheng to look quickly.

When Jiang Juncheng saw it, she immediately retracted her hand. She nervously swallowed and pulled Zhou Yuanyuan to run.

At this time, He Linglong, who had already opened the door, finally had the energy to pay attention to Jiang and Zhou’s actions. She looked in the direction of Zhou Yuanyuan’s finger, just like Jiang Juncheng, and captured the two mutated zombies that had already jumped onto the roof of the car. Coincidentally, at this moment, the two zombies seemed to have identified the direction in the air, stepping on the roofs of various cars in the parking lot and rushing towards where the three of them were…

More precisely, they were coming towards their prey—Zhou Yuanyuan.

All three knew the urgency of the current situation, so they immediately stopped causing some inexplicable contradictions. He Linglong took off her backpack and threw it in from under the rolling shutter door, shouting at the two of them, “Come in quickly!!”

Zhou Yuanyuan and Jiang Juncheng were not fools. Even if the two of them were not on good terms with He Linglong, they would not joke about their own life and death. Given the current situation, anyone with a brain should be able to see that trying to escape by climbing over the wall at this time would only end in failure and death—after all, their speed could not be compared to the speed of the mutated zombies.

The two looked at each other and saw each other’s thoughts, so they both imitated He Linglong’s actions, running towards the rolling shutter door while taking off their backpacks and throwing them inside.

After completing this action, Jiang Juncheng inexplicably thought of her experience going to the bowling alley to throw balls before. She uncontrollably spaced out for a second, then immediately snapped back to reality, following behind Zhou Yuanyuan and sliding directly in from outside the door in a sliding motion.

After the two safely hid inside the door, He Linglong followed closely behind them, quickly crouched down and squeezed into the garage, immediately turning around to pull down the rolling shutter door. But perhaps because the rolling shutter door’s bearings had rusted due to disrepair, the more He Linglong wanted to pull it down immediately, the more it seemed to be stuck and wouldn’t budge.

Seeing this, Jiang and Zhou immediately returned to the door to help. Seeing that the iron door was finally starting to fall again, the two zombies had already rushed to the front. Just before the door was about to close, He Linglong, standing in the middle, was grabbed by the male mutated zombie who reached in.

“Bang.” At the critical moment, the door finally closed.
