“Huff, Huff –” The sound of heavy breathing could be heard on the narrow path. The messy footsteps showed the Panic of the people who came.
Run, run, run!
This was the only thought in everyone’s mind.
Their chests were heaving up and down violently. The wind was blowing into their throats and their clothes were drenched in a cold sweat. However, they did not dare to slow down — the zombies behind them were chasing them like tigers!
The few teammates who were lagging behind had been divided up by a large group of zombies. Their limbs were broken, and they died with their eyes wide open… the heavy smell of blood was like a death knell, echoing in their ears at all times.
For the first time, they found that this narrow path was actually so long!
After running at high speed for a long time and feeling nervous, their physical strength was greatly diminished. In their panic, they seemed to be able to hear their own beating heart and messy breathing…
However, the zombies behind them were the exact opposite!
Although their movements were stiff, their speed was still very fast. Seeing that the distance between the two groups of people was constantly shrinking, everyone’s hearts were about to jump out of their throats!
“Adjust your breathing and pay attention to your steps!” A crisp female voice suddenly sounded, like a sudden gust of cool wind in the summer. Everyone’s chaotic mood instantly calmed down.
When they heard the voice, everyone could not help but be shocked.
Previously, they had been busy running for their lives, so they did not have the energy to pay attention to anything else. In the end, when they looked at it now, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
This… the two that were running at the front were surprisingly Ning Yiyuan and Mo Chu!
Moreover, what was even more ridiculous was that after running for so long, these two people actually did not show any signs of panic. They did not even sweat. Looking at their refreshing appearance and their sour and stinky sweat, it was obviously not the same style!
Forget about Ning Yiyuan. He was an expert, so it was understandable that he had a strong physique.
However, Mo Chu… Everyone widened their eyes in surprise. They never expected her to be so outstanding. Looking at her speed and grace, she was simply amazing!
If they were to compare themselves to Mo Chu, they were like waste at the bottom of the barrel, okay? No matter what, they could not be worse than a little girl like Mo Chu, right?
Thinking of this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The blue veins on their necks popped out, and their sore legs were moving even more vigorously!
Therefore, the distance that had been shortened was once again pulled apart.
“Hiss…” The unwilling zombies let out a series of miserable howls from behind. How could the delicious food mouths suddenly run far away? It was so frustrating!
Finally, they could see the wooden door not far ahead.
A glimmer of hope appeared in everyone’s eyes! As long as they ran over and started the car, they would be able to successfully shake off this group of zombies!
Ning Yiyuan and Mo Chu, who were running at the front, suddenly stopped.
The people who caught up could not help but be stunned. They panted and asked, “You… What are you guys doing here? Hurry up and get out!”
The two of them looked at each other, and Ning Yiyuan’s eyes flashed with a serious look. “There are zombies outside too.”
Oh sh*t!
They knew that there were zombies behind them. They were not blind, so how could they not see this? Suddenly, the people who were waving their hands froze and suddenly came back to their senses. They turned their necks with creaking sounds and looked terrified.
“F*ck! what did you just say? It’s not that there are zombies behind us, but that there are… zombies outside?”
“Yes.” Ning Yiyuan nodded, instantly breaking the illusion that they were hearing things. “I guess there was too much noise just now, and a lot of zombies have already run outside.”
‘F*ck! We’re being attacked from both sides?”
“Everyone, be careful.” After reminding everyone, Ning Yiyuan took a few steps forward and opened the wooden door with his big hand.
The door creaked, causing the zombies outside to turn around. When they smelled the delicious smell of fresh meat on their bodies again, they all seemed to have gone crazy!
Delicious, fresh meat… They were like hungry lone wolves. Countless zombies with stiff movements and terrifying faces were pouncing on them like countless locusts. That stance.., just looking at them was a little scary!
Their original team was instantly broken by the zombie flow and divided into small groups.
Ning Yiyuan and Mo Chu stood closely together. As Ning Yiyuan threw out wind blades one after another, many zombies fell to the ground one after another. Their movements were clean and neat, and there was even a vacuum belt around them.
The onlookers were envious and jealous!
Unfortunately, those who were not as strong as them could only watch. While sighing, they had to use all their skills to deal with the zombies around them!
These guys were really hard to deal with! After dealing with one, they immediately pounced on the other!
They were not given any time to rest. Moreover, being entangled like this, it was difficult for them to even take a few steps. Seeing the car filled with canned food not far away, they could only stare at them, feeling extremely frustrated!
“Hiss…” Not long after, another low howl was heard.
They turned their heads to look… the sound came from behind the wooden door, and their hearts sank.
The zombie crowd that was chasing them on the narrow path was about to catch up with them!
The number of zombies was already too much for them to bear. If they were to double the number of zombies… the situation would be terrible!
“Hurry up and get back to the car as soon as possible,” Lan Wei glanced at her teammates and said in a deep voice, “Remember, you must be careful!”
They had lost Lao Bai. No one else could get hurt!
“Understood.” Hearing that, a few of her teammates’ eyes turned cold. They took turns with their guns and superpowers and didn’t keep any of their trump cards.
They knew very well that the most important thing now was to get back to the car before the second wave of zombies arrived.
The race against time was imminent!
The others also exerted their strength to resist the zombie crowd in front of them and desperately walked toward the car. It was only a dozen meters away, but now it seemed like an insurmountable gap.
However, to Ning Yiyuan and Mo Chu, this huge gap was just a shallow ditch that was not worth mentioning. With a light leap, they could jump over it.
The two of them had already walked to the SUV. As long as they opened the door, sat inside, and started the car, they would be able to smoothly escape from this mess that could not be pulled apart. Everyone was envious!
“Ning Yiyuan, aren’t you an expert? Come and help us!” Seeing that Ning Yiyuan and the others had already escaped and were ready to leave, Deng Xiao’s heart was filled with a strong sense of unwillingness!
His eyes were filled with anger. Ning Yiyuan and the others could easily leave, but they still had to endure here bitterly.
If they could not escape, they would not let Ning Yiyuan escape!
“You’re so powerful. As long as you help us a little and extend your hand a little…” Under the tense atmosphere, Deng Xiao’s almost hoarse voice was extremely tempting. “Everyone will be able to escape together!”
Lan Wei glanced at him coldly. “The Hunters team are not as thick-skinned as you!”
That’s right, Ning Yiyuan was indeed powerful, but under such circumstances, who could guarantee that he would not be dragged into this mess again if he made a move?
Just because the Hunter team could keep their wits about them under such circumstances, it did not mean that other people could do the same!
Hearing Deng Xiao’s words, many people were faintly moved.
That’s right! Everyone had witnessed Ning Yiyuan’s strength. As long as he made a move… their situation might improve. No! It would definitely improve!
When they thought of this, all of them stared at Ning Yiyuan with pleading gazes. Even Mo Chu, who was standing beside them, had been baptized by many burning gazes.
When they saw that Ning Yiyuan was still standing there indifferently, everyone’s gazes could not help but change. There were hints of anger and blame in their eyes. You’re so capable, but you’re not willing to help us? You really have a heart of stone!
Mo Chu stood by the side, the mockery in her eyes becoming more and more intense.
“Why don’t you help?! It’s as easy as stretching out your hand, right?”
Finally, someone could not stand the tense atmosphere and suddenly shouted angrily. If the thick flames of anger in his eyes could be turned into substance, he would have burned Ning Yiyuan to ashes long ago.
“Right, aren’t we teammates? What can you do even if you help us?”
“How can you stand by and do nothing at a time like this?!”
“Let me tell you, you will get your retribution in the future!”
…
When begging did not work, they resorted to curses and reproaches.
Their expressions changed in the blink of an eye.
It was as if Ning Yiyuan had committed a heinous crime if he did not lend them a helping hand!
“Hehe–” Mo Chu tilted her head and raised her eyebrows slightly, but her clear eyes showed a bit of coldness. “I’ve finally experienced how despicable people try to use moral high ground!”
“Ning Yiyuan and I didn’t save you?” Mo Chu’s voice was not loud, but it was like thunder that clearly reached everyone’s ears!
“We have led all the operations! Didn’t you guys add my and Ning Yiyuan’s names to this expedition without saying anything?”
“Also, if we hadn’t warned you in advance, most of you might have already died in Anyuan Town. Why are you still standing here and scolding us?”
Mo Chu concluded with a light snort. Her eyes clearly showed disdain. There were always some people who relied on others’ tolerance and treated it as their shameless entitlement!
Everyone was instantly speechless.
Indeed, thinking about it carefully, Ning Yiyuan and Mo Chu had already done too much. Even if they did not extend their hands to save them now, they did not have the right to say anything…
It was this damn girl again!
Deng Xiao’s gaze darkened. Every time he used his immense strength to incite the hearts of the people, this girl would appear like a basin of ice water. With a ‘brush’, she would easily quell their anger. Everyone’s raging anger was instantly extinguished, only one or two wisps of smoke rose up with the wind.
This b*tch, every time she helped Ning Yiyuan to oppose me! Deng Xiao’s eyes turned cold. The gun that was aimed at the zombie silently turned in a different direction and aimed straight at Mo Chu’s head.
As long as he beckoned his hand, the bullet would immediately shoot into Mo Chu’s head. It might even directly pass through and splatter blood…
Deng Xiao turned his head and looked at Ning Yiyuan beside him. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl slightly. When that time came, you, Brat, should also have a taste of what it feels like to have your heart pierced through!
Bang–
With a light sound, the bullet shot out…
Deng Xiao’s body suddenly trembled. He widened his eyes in disbelief and slowly lowered his head. A small bloody hole in his chest was constantly bleeding. It was so bright red that it was dazzling!
At the same time, the rearview mirror of the off-road vehicle beside Mo Chu was suddenly hit by the bullet. It was shattered into pieces, and the shattered pieces fell to the ground.
When he turned his head to look, Ning Yiyuan’s eyes suddenly turned dark. He had no doubt that Deng Xiao had originally aimed at Little Chu with this shot. However, he was the first to be hit and his hand was misplaced, that was why he had hit the rearview mirror of the off-road vehicle.
This person could not be left alive!
He did not notice Ning Yiyuan’s deep sea-like gaze. Deng Xiao’s dull gaze moved up from his bleeding chest. A figure instantly appeared in his field of vision!
“Ahh–” His pupils dilated as he let out a hoarse gasp!
Deng Xiao subconsciously took a step back and shook his head in disbelief. How was this possible? Wasn’t this person supposed to have turned into… how could he appear here now? Furthermore, he seemed to be unscathed!
“Old Bai!” Looking at the familiar figure not far away, Lan Lin’s eyes were filled with ecstasy. He simply could not believe his eyes! That’s right, this bearded man and his strong figure were their brothers who had risked their lives together!
This exclamation of victory brought everyone back to their senses. It also made them realize that the scene in front of them was real! Old Bai… This fellow had really returned!
