[MTL, BL] The Little Beauty was Forced to Raise a Cub for The Corpse King

37

Feng Yimo glanced at Xia Chenshu coldly and continued to look forward.

Ji An and Ji Le in front held hands and ran two steps quickly to catch up with Ji Yanqing.

It gets dark early at night, and it's only almost five o'clock now. The setting sun is already slanting in the sky, and the torturous high temperature in the air is gradually replaced by gusts of cool breeze.

Xia Chenshu stopped talking to Feng Yimo because he knew that Feng Yimo had already listened to his words.

A group of people were on guard against the bushes that were like high walls around them. After walking along the track for nearly an hour, they saw a large banyan tree not far to the right of the railway track.

The tree was already huge, thousands of years old. After mutation, it has now become even bigger. Only dozens of people can surround the trunk, and the coverage area of ​​the tree crown is close to eight or nine hundred square meters.

From a distance, the tree trunks are intertwined and ancient, and the branches in the crown are twisted and twisted. It looks like the tree of life, the habitat of elves that only exists in fairy tales.

Seeing the big banyan tree, no one in Ji Yanqing's group smiled or marveled at the miracle. Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath and cheer up.

Ji Yanqing took the lead and left the railway track, heading towards the ancient tree in the dusk.

It was almost dark, and compared to the wilderness full of bushes, it was obviously more suitable to camp under that tree.

When they were still more than two hundred meters away from the canopy coverage, everyone stopped and hid behind a bush.

The tree looked even bigger as they got closer. When everyone looked up at the rich tree crown above their heads, they even had the illusion that there was another world above the tree crown.

Lipingsen silently made a gesture with Ji Yanqing, and quietly walked towards the tree with Xia Chen and the other two people to inspect the situation.

Ji Yanqing did not stop them. Under Xia Chenshu's guidance, Lipingsen and his group were now in shape.

Lipingsen and the others carefully walked through the bushes and approached quickly. When they reached the tree, they circled around. After finding nothing, they headed behind the tree.

Behind the bushes, a group of people waited with bated breath.

Five or six minutes later, just when everyone else waiting could not help but start to get nervous, Lipingsen and the others who went to explore the road appeared again in the sight of the group of people.

There are no zombies nearby, so it's fairly safe.

Ji Yanqing quickly led a group of people into the area covered by the tree canopy along the route Lipingsen and the others had just taken, and met up with Lipingsen and the others under the tree.

"Come and take a look." Lipingsen took the lead and turned to the left of the tree trunk. There was a large bush over there.

Ji Yan glanced at Ji An and Ji Le lightly, making sure that the two little guys were following Feng Yimo, and he followed Lipingsen.

The two walked along the left side of the big tree to the back of the big tree and followed the bushes behind it.

After walking around the bushes for a while, Lipingsen stopped in front.

Ji Yanqing looked forward to see the situation clearly. He frowned and a pool of blood nearly three meters in diameter in front of him was emitting a foul smell. There were a lot of clothes and bones left in the pool of blood. It looked like at least two people were dead.

The traces are still very new, probably just a day or two ago.

Ji Yanqing didn't come close and the two of them went back.

After rejoining the others, Lipingsen looked at Ji Yanqing, "What should we do?"

"Rest here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning." Ji Yanqing said.

Whatever happened here before, it was already a day or two ago.

They were now in the wilderness, and their sight range was limited. Moving at night was the best option when no one knew what was in the wilderness.

Lipingsen nodded and stood aside to let everyone put down their backpacks to rest. At the same time, he took food and water out to prepare for distribution. It was almost dark.

Xia Chenshu and others looked at Ji Yanqing.

Ji Yan gently took the map and spread it on the ground.

The road to the right of the county seat is very remote. Most of the places are undeveloped plains and mountains. It takes four or five days to walk to the nearest village to the county seat, and about ten days to the town near the canal.

Ji Yanqing reconfirmed their location and direction, marked the big banyan tree, and put away the map.

"Dad..." Ji An and Ji Le received the food for the three of them and happily ran towards Ji Yanqing holding a bunch of things.

Approaching, the two little guys gave Ji Yanqing everything they had in their arms, and then waited for Ji Yanqing to share it with them.

There was not much food and water, not enough to fill you up, and the food was also very miscellaneous, ranging from snacks to instant noodles and pancakes.

Ji Yanqing selected some of the more delicious and hungrier things from the pile and gave them to the two little guys, then took the rest and started eating.

It was said to be more delicious and more hungry, but it was just a piece of instant noodles. The dough was very hard. Ji An and Ji Le, who had shared half of it, held it for a long time before biting off a small piece.

Ji Yanqing watched from the side, fearing that their teeth would be chipped, so he could only use the packaging bag to help crush the noodles.

The dough is much easier to eat after being crushed into pieces, and the two little guys bite it very crispy.

Ji An still had no appetite. After only eating a small portion, he was unwilling to eat any more. Ji Yanqing looked on anxiously and stared at Ji An to eat more.

By the time they finished eating, the sky had completely darkened. The night in the wild was slightly brighter than in the town, but it was still too dark without any starlight.

After Xia Chenshu and Lipingsen discussed the matter of the night watch, the four night watchmen were left behind and went to bed early.

Ji Yanqing also hugged the two little ones and went to bed early.

Ji An and Ji Le are very easy to care for. They are not at all spoiled or noisy as they should be at their age. They fell asleep within two minutes after lying down next to Ji Yanqing.

Listening to the two even breathing sounds beside him, Ji Yan slowly raised his head. He carefully took Ji An's hand and carefully untied the cloth strip still wrapped on it.

The injury on Ji An's palm had healed three days ago.

They rested in the previous county town for seven days, including the first day, for a total of eight days.

Ji An's injury was sustained on the morning of the first day they entered the county. His attention was focused on the supermarket and the county on that day and the second and third days. On the morning of the fourth day, when he remembered to change Ji An's gauze, he fell asleep. The wound under Ji'an's gauze was healed.

The palms of his small white hands were clean, with no trace of injury at all.

At that time, Ji Yanqing thought he had seen it wrong, but he checked carefully and found that there were indeed no signs of injury on Ji An's hands.

In the dark, Ji Yan gently rubbed his fingertips on Ji An's soft palm.

Ji An was sleeping soundly and his palms felt itchy. He instinctively held Ji Yanqing's hand.

Ji Yanqing felt the weak force from his thumb and the warmth in Ji An's palm, and he tied the gauze on Ji An's hand again.

Lying down again, Ji Yan relaxed his mind and went to sleep. They still had more than ten days to travel, and they still didn't know what happened to the survival team before.

The snow fell around eight o'clock in the night, and Ji Yanqing woke up from the cold. After sitting up and holding the two little guys in his arms, he was about to continue sleeping with his backpack on, when someone walked towards him in the darkness.

Ji Yan looked away lightly.

"Team Ji, there is someone in front." The person who spoke was Xia Chen, who was a member of the vigil tonight.

"Human?" Ji Yanqing suddenly woke up.

"Well, it should be a living person." Xia Chen said.

Ji Yanqing put Ji An and Ji Le on the ground, picked up the ax beside him and stood up quickly.

Leaving the warm embrace, the two little guys immediately curled up into two small balls like cats, their movements so skillful that it made people feel heartbroken.

Xia Chen took the lead towards the bushes behind the big tree. The two walked in the bushes one after the other for five or six minutes. Xia Chen in front stopped.

"Over there, at the foot of the mountain." Xia Chen pointed forward.

Ji Yanqing looked in the direction he pointed.

This plain is not an endless prairie, but a relatively flat wasteland.

There are mountains all around the wilderness, but when they were in the wilderness, the bushes that were taller than people and everywhere formed a wall to block their sight, so they couldn't see the surrounding mountains.

"We originally just wanted to see if there were any zombies a little further nearby, but we found that there were traces of humans escaping in the bushes here. We followed the traces for a while and found that this tree was actually far away from the surrounding trees. The mountains are not far away." Xia Chen explained.

"The people are at the foot of the mountain. They were still moving before. They must have just arrived there not long ago." Another person behind the bushes said.

There was another person next to Xia Chen, who was also a member of the vigil.

Ji Yanqing looked carefully in the direction he pointed. At first glance, he saw no one. When he looked again, he finally saw two night watchmen at the foot of the mountain.

They sat on the ground, and from a distance there were only small black dots left, but zombies would not sit still, let alone two sitting on the ground at the same time, motionless.

"Want to go over and take a look?" Xia Chen asked.

Ji Yanqing thought for a moment and looked at the other person, "Go and wake up all the others and ask them to make as little noise as possible." He didn't know

what happened to the two people who died in a pool of blood nearby, but since those People are nearby, which means that the thing that created the pool of blood before is likely to chase those people down the mountain and return to this area.

The man nodded and ran towards the tree.

Xia Chen approached Ji Yanqing and spoke again, "Their number is much smaller than we expected. I got closer and counted them before, and there were only about twenty people at most." Ji Yanqing's heart sank

.

"If the other party is really the survival team walking in front of us, there are only about twenty or so of the four or five hundred people left in a few days... Either they encountered the Corpse King and were wiped out, or they ran away from the big team. Already." Xia Chen said.

If it's the latter, it's fine, but if it's the former...

there were four or five hundred people, and only about twenty were left in a day or two. Then the corpse king they encountered was definitely no less terrifying than what they had seen in the hospital before. The corpse king, maybe even worse.

"Ji Yanqing." A few minutes later, in the darkness, Xia Chenshu and a group of people quickly approached with backpacks on their backs.

Ji Yanqing took his backpack from Feng Yimo and put it on his back.

The man who went back to wake up the others had told the others about the current situation and knew that there was someone at the foot of the mountain, so everyone looked over there.

"Is it possible that they are from other survival teams?" Lan Zi guessed.

No one answered her question because no one knew the answer.

"Where did they come from?" Xia Chenshu asked.

If the opponent really encounters the Corpse King, their best choice is to figure out the direction of the Corpse King and then quickly move away.

"I don't know, they were already there when I found out." Xia Chen shook his head.

"Come closer and take a look." Ji Yan said lightly.

After finishing his words, Ji Yan gently grabbed Feng Yimo, who was walking to the right, pulled him back, and led a group of people closer to the mountain range.

They were all accustomed to sneaking, and no one made a sound along the way, as if they themselves belonged to the darkness.

There were a lot of bushes in the wilderness, and they stopped only when they were close to each other and only had about 300 meters left.

There were indeed only about twenty people on the other side, and except for the two people who were keeping watch, they were all sleeping. Many of them didn't see backpacks on them, and they looked like they were on the run.

"It seems..." Someone underestimated it, and the voice was too soft, so Ji Yanqing didn't hear it clearly.

"Tsk." Xia Chenshu was speechless.

Ji Yan looked away lightly.

"He is from Xue Gang." Xia Chen wrote.

Ji Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw a bald man among a group of sleeping people.

The man was wearing a hat and lying with his back to them. He was curled up in a ball due to the cold in the heavy snow, but the figure behind him was indeed the bald man from their team before.

002.

"How could it be them? I thought they were all dead." Lipingsen looked quite unkind.

They were often annoyed when they were in Xue Gang's team. When they finally separated, Xue Gang pointed a gun at them and asked them to attract the attention of the zombies so that he could escape.

If they hadn't met Ji Yanqing, they would have died in the previous city.

"It is estimated that they fled towards the county town after coming out of the previous city, and then entered the wasteland before us." Lan Zi analyzed.

"What should I do? -" Lipingsen was only halfway through his words when one of the two men on guard in Xue Gang's team at the foot of the mountain suddenly looked in their direction.

"Who!"

Hearing his question, another night watchman and several people who were sleeping in a daze suddenly woke up, and they immediately pointed their guns at Ji Yanqing and the others.

Their nerves were in an extremely tense state while they were fleeing. The obviously angry gazes of Lipingsen and others were like bright lights in the dark night to those people.

Ji Yanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Xue Gang."

The group of people across from him whose nerves had been stretched to the limit were stunned for a moment when they heard the voice. The expressions on their faces were quite wonderful, as if they had encountered a ghost at night, as if they were afraid. There is actually a corpse king who can speak.

Soon, Xue Gang, who looked angry, reacted first. He stood up from the ground and pointed the gun in his hand at the bushes. "Come out."

Ji Yanqing took two steps to the side and left the bushes.

Seeing Ji Yanqing's movement, Xia Chenshu and his group slowly moved to the outside of the bushes.

The distance between the two sides was too far, and Xue Gang's group of people slowly approached them with guns raised.

When the distance between the two parties was only about fifty meters, Xue Gang finally recognized Ji Yanqing's group of people.

"It's you." Xue Gang put down the gun he held, and his eyes swept over the faces of Lipingsen and the group of people behind Ji Yanqing, and finally stopped on their bulging backpacks, "You came just in time, all our luggage was lost. Give me some water."

Listening to Xue Gang's natural words, no one in Lipingsen's group behind Ji Yanqing made any move.

Xue Gang stretched out his hand to ask for water and hung it awkwardly in the air. This made Xue Gang's bloodshot eyes instantly burst out with huge anger, "What do you mean?" Still no one paid attention to him, everyone just looked at

Xue Gang in silence. Just a group of people.

Xue Gang's group of people all woke up because of the movement just now, and now all of them are standing behind Xue Gang.

They were a group of twenty-two or three people, and there were only about five people left in Xue Gang's team including Xue Gang. The others were all ordinary members.

All of them have one thing in common, that is, they have more or less injuries or bloodstains on their bodies. Their eyes are scarlet, their faces are waxy, and their lips have long been chapped. It can be seen that they have not lived well after escaping from the previous city. not good.

"Let's go." Ji Yanqing turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

"How dare you!" Xue Gang raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Ji Yanqing. Without water in this harsh environment, they would definitely die.

Almost at the same time that Xue Gang raised his gun, Xia Chenshu, Lan Zi, Li Pingsen, Xia Chen and the younger Su Luo, who had already been on guard, all raised their guns in unison with their gun muzzles. Aim at Xue Gang.

Others without guns also took a step forward with red eyes, intent on killing Xue Gang if he dared to take action against Ji Yanqing.

Feng Yimo glanced coldly at Xue Gang's face.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the muscles in the corner of Xue Gang's mouth twitched. He instinctively looked at Feng Yimo. He had a feeling that if the gun in his hand had been even closer to Ji Yan, his hand would have been cut off. illusion.

After Xia Chenshu and the others, the other four men with guns in his team beside Xue Gang reacted to raise their guns.

Baldhead hesitated for a moment, but finally raised the gun.

After Xia Chenshu's eyes swept across his face, he looked at Xue Gang. He said with a smile, "Hey, this is not Captain Xue. How come you are like a lost dog after not seeing each other for a few days? This is so embarrassing..."

The atmosphere between the two teams was already there. Tight, the arrow was about to go off on the string, and Xia Chenshu fanned the flames, which made the corners of the mouths of people on both sides twitch.

Xue Gang viciously slashed Xia Chenshu's face, his face dark. His eyes swept over the faces of Ji Yanqing and the group of people one by one. His fierce look seemed to remember the faces of Ji Yanqing and all of them. , and then plotting revenge.

There was a flash of cruelty in his eyes when he glanced at Ji An and Ji Le. He didn't like brats like them who could do nothing but eat and drink.

If it were before, he would have kicked him away.

Ji An and Ji Le's two little faces turned pale and bloodless the moment they saw Xue Gang. They knew Ji Yanqing would protect them, and they knew they didn't have to be afraid now. But when they saw Xue Gang's face, they I couldn't help but think of the beatings I had received.

Xue Gang would beat them to death every time.

"Then what do you think -"

"Ouch!"

A voice that was different from the previous Beast Corpse King but was still the roar of a beast suddenly came from the wasteland to their left.

The tense group of people instinctively looked back in the direction of the sound. The sound was not far away from them, no more than five hundred meters at most.

"Let's go." Ji Yanqing ignored Xue Gang's group and led the others quickly towards the mountains ahead. There were more trees in the mountains and it was easier to hide their figures.

Xia Chenshu and the others moved quickly and followed Ji Yanqing's pace.

As for Xue Gang who was still holding the gun, according to Xue Gang's temperament, he would not dare to shoot at this time even if he had ten more courages.

"Boss, those two brats really seem to be the two before..." A member of Xue Gang's team looked at Ji Yanqing and his group in surprise as they left.

"Fart, those two brats are dead a long time ago." Xue Gang glared at the man angrily, but he still had time to worry about this at this time.

Xue Gang hesitated for a moment and quickly followed the direction Ji Yanqing and the others left.

There was no way to find water in such a ghost place. The only place with water was Ji Yanqing's backpacks.

"But those two brats seem to know you..." the man from before said as he followed.

He had felt this way before. Just now, Xue Gang stared at the two brats, and the fearful look in their eyes made him feel this way again.

This feeling made his hands and feet feel cold and his back felt ridiculous. He was watching when Xue Gang beat the two brats to death.

The smaller one among them, he remembered, was kicked directly by Xue Gang and hit the steel bars piled up at the construction site. His entire back was penetrated... His pale cheeks were covered in pain but were bitten by tears

. He clearly remembered the face with his lower lip pressed down, not daring to make any sound.

But if that child was really one of the two children just now, how could he still be alive?

With such a wound, let alone a three-year-old child, even an adult would definitely have died long ago if he had medical conditions.

While the man quickly followed Xue Gang in front, he looked at the backs of Ji Yanqing's group of people in front of Xue Gang. He vaguely seemed to see two small lines of people following Ji Yanqing in front of the crowd. Back view.

The two of them followed Ji Yanqing closely at a speed not unlike that of a three-year-old child...

That scene terrified him.

His Adam's apple slid.

After Ji Yanqing took the lead into the mountain, he quickly found a steep cliff with a height of only a few meters, and quickly hid behind it with a group of people.

It was pitch black in the woods, and the huge and dense canopy blocked out the little light. This made it almost impossible to see blurry figures in the entire forest, which also made everyone's breathing heavier.

After Ji Yanqing and his group, Xue Gang and his group quickly hid under the cliff.

Ji Yanqing in front heard the movement and looked back. He was not surprised to see Xue Gang following him. Xue Gang was this kind of person.

Everyone held their breath and listened. The beast's roar was five hundred meters away from them. If the other party noticed that they were coming this way, they would definitely be nearby now.

The darkness was silent except for the heavy breathing and their respective heartbeats.

Not hearing any footsteps or unusual movements, the group of people hiding behind the cliff breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's Wu Yao?" Xia Chenshu lowered his voice and asked the bald man at his hand.

Lan Zi also looked over after hearing this. She had discovered before that Wu Yao was not in Xue Gang's team.

When asked, the bald man wearing a hat and his left eye wrapped in cloth moved his lips. After a while, he spoke. His voice was so dry and hoarse that it didn't look like him, "...dead."

Xia Chenshu and Lan Zi said to each other. Looking at each other, they could barely see each other's expressions in the darkness, but they could already understand each other's meaning from each other's glance.

They were surprised, but not surprised. They had already guessed this outcome before they saw Wu Yao in Xue Gang's team.

The bald man tried to say something more, but he opened his lips several times but no sound came out.

In the previous city, Wu Yao was blocked by two zombies. He could have avoided death as long as someone was willing to come forward to help him, but Xue Gang beside him ran away without even looking back.

Wu Yao still remembered the desperate look in his eyes when he found out that Xue Gang had run away and found him alone.

Wu Yao was about the same age as Ji Yanqing. They were both in their early twenties, and they still had obvious... I have a sense of immaturity. I was just a college student before the virus broke out.

Wu Yao was not originally prepared to give the food and medicine in his backpack to Xue Gang, but only agreed after his persuasion, because he felt that if he and Wu Yao both joined Xue Gang's team, Ji Yanqing might Changed my mind and joined.

Wu Yao was killed by him.

"What's going on with you?" Xia Chenshu asked again.

"There are awakened zombies in the wasteland, and the entire wasteland is its slaughterhouse. All the zombies that fled here before the virus broke out and were infected, as well as the people who fled here later, were all eaten by it." Bald Head said, "When we got here, there were more than thirty people, but during this period, two of them were eaten every day, and now we are the only ones left."

"Eat two every day?" Xia Chenshu had never heard of it. To put it this way, the Corpse King has become so smart these days that he has engaged in sustainable development?

"Its body doesn't look like a zombie at all, more like the previous Beast Corpse King, but it hasn't fully evolved yet, and seems to be on the verge of evolution-" The bald head stopped abruptly mid-sentence.

Ji Yanqing and the group of people who were listening to him looked at him.

At first they didn't understand why the bald man suddenly stopped talking, until they noticed something falling from the cliff above them.

That thing was very light and ice-cold, and it was the snow on the top of the cliff.

There is something above the cliff.

Realizing this, everyone looked up.

Almost as soon as their heads turned upward, everyone was swallowed up by a huge chill.

On the cliff above their heads, a huge head was looking down at them insidiously.

003.

There was no hair on the head, only bare scales. It looked like a huge badger, but it had sharp teeth, its mouth was split directly to the base of its ears, and its eyes were glowing with blood in the darkness.

Faced with such a big head so close at hand and those eyes, everyone at the bottom of the cliff breathed a sigh of relief with their hearts in their throats instantly.

The next moment, Ji Yan's gentle warning voice broke through the darkness and pulled everyone back from the shock. "Run!" Everyone

reacted with their bodies before their brains, and rushed towards the woods on the right.

Their speed was already very fast. The echo of Ji Yanqing's "run" was still reverberating in the woods, and they had already run far away in one breath. However, even so, the last person still could not escape.

He had just run not far and before he could even utter the exclamation, only half of his body was left.

"Bang." His upper body was missing but his body, still able to move forward, fell into the snow. The white snow on the ground was instantly dyed into a large area of ​​red, like a flower blooming in despair.

No one dared to look back, and everyone ran forward crazily with all their strength.

Their hearts were beating so hard it felt like they were about to explode in their chests.

Their breathing throats and nasal cavities were constantly cut by the cold air like knives, but they couldn't care less about the pain. They just gritted their teeth and ran forward like crazy.

Ji Yanqing carried Ji An and accelerated towards the front again. At the same time, he looked back and saw that the remaining half of the body on the ground was gone, along with the awakened zombie.

Ji Yanqing looked ahead again. After avoiding the big tree in front of him, he quickly ran forward while turning his head.

He tried to find the awakened zombie in the woods, but it was pitch black all around, and his sight was blocked by large tree trunks that several people could wrap around.

Unable to find the awakened zombie, Ji Yanqing didn't even have time to think. A scream full of terror and despair broke the darkness.

"Ah!"

Ji Yanqing immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

On the far left side of the team, a huge, nearly two-story-tall, badger-like monster covered in scales was chewing on a person's legs.

The man whose legs were chewed by it was still alive. In extreme pain and fear, the man screamed wildly. He tried to call for help, but everyone knew that it was in vain.

Ji Yanqing's scalp felt numb and he quickly ran forward.

He was extremely explosive and rushed forward more than ten meters in an instant. He ran to the front of the team.

Feng Yimo, who was carrying Ji Le, followed closely behind.

Ji Yan gritted his teeth. This was not enough. The awakened zombie was much faster than them. Its speed even exceeded that of the beast corpse king before.

"Ah..." The screams suddenly stopped, and the world returned to silence. Only the sounds of footsteps and breathing and heartbeats were left in the darkness.

Under that silence, Ji Yanqing's group of people sank into the abyss of despair, but Xue Gang's group seemed to be relieved, and many people looked back.

Ji Yanqing was just wondering when the third scream came.

"Help me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet -"

This time, the voice did not last long.

After the third person's voice also disappeared into the darkness, Xue Gang, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, saw the blood drain out of his face.

"How could this happen? It doesn't only eat two people every day..." I don't know who shouted.

Ji Yanqing instantly understood why Xue Gang and the others were relieved just now, because they thought the awakened zombie would leave after eating the two of them.

Before anyone could answer the previous man, a fourth scream came.

The fourth person didn't even have time to scream completely. He just raised his head and lost his voice completely.

Everyone who was already at the fastest speed felt their scalps numb, and many people instinctively turned around.

"Don't look back, run!" Ji Yan reminded lightly.

Those who turned back had clearly seen what was going on behind them, and they didn't know what they saw. Many of them had expressions of despair and mourning on their faces.

Ji Yan put his toes lightly on the ground, quickly jumped over the tree root that was half a person's height in front of him, and landed. He used his short body at that moment to charge forward and rushed forward five or six meters again.

Feng Yimo still maintained a distance of half a meter behind him. Almost as soon as he rushed out, Feng Yimo followed.

Ji Yanqing took this opportunity to look back. Behind him were faces full of fear. He and the last few people in the team were already quite far apart.

Behind those people, the awakened zombies were catching up.

The awakened zombie was huge, but its speed was very fast. It only took two steps to catch up with the last few people. As it ran, it lowered its head and the last people were swallowed alive by it.

Seeing that there were fewer people around them, and knowing what was happening behind them, the last few people gritted their teeth and turned pale, speeding up like crazy.

They no longer wanted to keep a long distance, they just wanted to outrun the people around them, because if they couldn't run, they would be the next to die.

"Bang!"

The gunshot sounded suddenly.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, including Baldhead.

He looked around and saw the dark muzzle of the gun right next to him. He was stunned for a moment before reacting. He stared blankly at his chest opposite the muzzle.

Blood flowers were blooming on his chest.

Xue Gang took back the gun in his hand, threw away his backpack and accelerated again.

The bald man looked at his back running far away in an instant, and his slow brain finally started to work. He did not look at the injury on his chest first, but instinctively looked at Ji Yanqing, who was looking back from the front of the team.

"save......"

When the words for help came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer in Ji Yanqing's team. He was speechless, and then suddenly panicked.

Besides Ji Yanqing, who else would be willing to save him?

Ji Yanqing hesitated for a moment when he met the bald head's eyes. It was that moment of hesitation that caused several people to overtake him and run to the front.

When Xia Chenshu passed Ji Yanqing, he reached out and pulled Ji Yanqing, "Run!"

As early as when he betrayed them, Baldhead should have thought that this day would come, and Baldhead was hit in the chest. Even if Ji Yanqing went back It can't be saved.

Ji Yan came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and ran forward quickly.

Seeing Ji Yanqing's back running far away in an instant, the bald head falling forward due to inertia suddenly remembered what he once said to Ji Yanqing, there must always be a choice.

Ji Yanqing is a nice person and treats everyone well, so sometimes he feels that Ji Yanqing is not suitable to be the captain. People like Ji Yanqing must suffer a lot when they become the captain.

He didn't like Xue Gang either, but the moment he met Xue Gang, he knew that someone like Xue Gang was more suitable to be the captain.

In this cruel world, selfish people have it easier.

Knowing that he had actually begun to regret when Ji Yanqing left, he had already begun to feel uneasy, but he chose to ignore it.

Because he knows that there will always be a choice.

Yes, there are always trade-offs.

But who knows when the abandoned person will become himself?

"Sorry..." Baldhead murmured, but his voice could no longer reach the front of the team.

"Help me!" Xue Gang's sharp cry for help pierced the darkness.

No one among the people running quickly in the darkness looked back, they only sped up.

"Bang bang bang!" Xue Gang ran forward quickly while turning back and shooting at the beast behind him. He was never fast, but there were people who were slower than him before.

The beast was less than two meters behind him, and he could even smell the rotten smell on the beast.

After his bald head, there was no one else around him.

Xue Gang fired the bullets out of the gun in one breath, but none of the bullets penetrated the beast's body. The scales on its surface were so hard that even bullets could not penetrate it.

"What are you doing standing still? Shoot and kill it—" Xue Gang roared and looked back at the others around him.

Everyone was running forward quickly in the darkness, and no one looked back.

Xue Gang's face turned dark instantly. Have they forgotten that he is the captain of this team? He gave them the guns in their hands. It's all because of him that they can live to this day and eat and drink well!

"What are you doing? I'll let you kill it!"
