"It's out, my God. He's not dead! "
Zog and Tony were hiding in an abandoned little shop opposite the Mary Hospital.
It was late afternoon, and the sun was not as bright as it had been before, but it still shone with a dazzling golden light. In the golden light, Zero's figure appeared at the entrance of the hospital building. His left arm hung down, as if heavily injured. His right leg was tied tightly with a piece of cloth that had been torn from his clothes, but there was still blood that continuously flowed out. The situation was not looking good.
Zero's face was covered in the blood of the butcher. The dark red blood was thick and not something that could be removed just by wiping it a few times. Right now, he wanted to dive into the water so that he could wash up. The stench of blood on his body made Zero uncomfortable.
Walking out of the building, he saw Zog's Tony. When the two of them walked out of the abandoned store, Zog gave a big thumbs up to Zero. Zero was startled for a bit and then he forced out a smile.
Suddenly, he saw the faces of Zog and Luo Hua City Mistress changed expression.
"Be careful!"
Zog shouted as he and Tony anxiously raised the machine gun in their hands. When Zero raised his head and looked, he saw a living corpse crawling out from a window on the second floor, jumping down from the shadows and pouncing towards him.
Zero knew that his body was rather tired from fighting with the butcher at such a high intensity. As for the decrease in his sense of danger, that was the only reason why this living corpse could only touch his head and not notice it.
The left side of his body was numb with pain, and though his right hand was holding the revolver, it was too late to shoot again.
However, just as living corpse was about to fall, as if he had been struck by something invisible, living corpse suddenly flew towards the wall, leaving a pool of blood on the grayish brown wall before falling to the ground. A big hole was cut open in the living corpse's chest, but at this moment, the sound of a special sniping device came from afar.
It's Allen!
In Zero's mind came the image of that restless young man who once thought that such a character was not suitable to be a sniper. A qualified sniper should be calm and cautious, obviously Allen's personality was the opposite. Even now, Zero didn't think he was a good sniper, but he was still grateful that he had fired at the critical moment.
Seeing living corpse being killed, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. The captain signaled with his hand, indicating that he was about to retreat. Judging by Allen's shooting distance, he should be over 800 meters away by now, but Zog believed that he could clearly see the signal.
Tony had already ran forward and blocked the attack, helping him to share in the weight of the stone. At the same time, Tony was slightly surprised.
With a hoarse voice, he asked, "Where's Holt?"
Tony's face darkened, he shook his head: "He's dead. When we passed through the gate, we saw two living corpse s nibbling on his corpse. "
In fact, when he left the room where he met Mary, he had already thought that Holt might be in danger. But at that time, if he were to turn back and save the black man, he would not be able to save Zog and the others in time. So even though he knew that Holt was in danger, he still chose Zog and the others.
As the two factors would cause harm, Zero could only abandon the black man and choose Zog and the others.
He wasn't God. He couldn't reach everyone. On the battlefield, death was an extremely common occurrence. Therefore, Zero did not pay too much attention to the black man's death.
Zog also walked over, and patted Ling Su's shoulder and said: "It's all thanks to you this time, if it wasn't for you, none of us would have been able to escape."
Zero nodded. Suddenly, his expression changed. There was an unnatural flush on his knife-edged face, and then he fainted, not even having time to say a word.
"What's going on?"
Zog hurriedly helped Tony support him, only then did he realize that Su Yun's temperature was shockingly high. The two of them immediately moved Zero to a patch of shadows. Tony was in charge of guarding, while Zog fanned Zero's clothes. After taking a glance, Zog's hand trembled lightly. Zero's body was like a cooked prawn, turning red and hot. As for the muscles on his body, they were trembling non-stop, as if there were thousands of worms crawling under his skin. It was extremely strange.
"Chief, what happened to him?" Tony shouted.
Zog inhaled a breath of cold air, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It seems like he was infected by a virus and his body is going through a mutation as well."
Tony was shocked, and said: "Could it be that he was bitten by the living corpse?"
living corpse's teeth were as sharp as a beast's after the mutation. The two front teeth were like poisonous snakes, hiding poison sacs. Sometimes, the living corpse would subconsciously inject the biochemical virus into his prey while biting him. If the people who were bitten by the living corpse were not eaten clean, they would mutate and become the living corpse and join their ranks not long after.
And after being injected with the virus by the living corpse, the incubation period would depend on the quality of the person's body, Su. An Adept could use their own strength to force the virus out of their body. As for normal people, their bodies would mutate in at most two days or at least ten minutes. One of the mutation's reactions was to feel hot all over. However, Zog and Yue Yang had never heard of the symptoms of one's body turning red during the process of mutation, but this was unheard-of.
Zog quickly checked Zero's neck, but didn't find anything similar to a tooth mark on his body, which meant that he wasn't attacked by the living corpse. As a result, his current physical condition was even harder to explain.
However, the symptoms of redness and fever disappeared as quickly as they came. In just a minute or two, the red tide had subsided and Su Ming's body temperature returned to normal. Just as she was unconscious, Tony walked over, looking at Zog, he suddenly raised his spear. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at Zero. Tony was a little hesitant, as if she was hesitating about something.
"Put the gun down." Zog said indifferently.
Tony said: "Head, he might be infected, we …"
"Don't make me say it again, put the gun down!" Zog roared, and roughly pushed Tony away. Then he said in a deep voice, "We owe him our lives, fellow. If he really turns into a monster, I'll kill him myself. But I can't do it now. I won't allow you to shoot until I confirm that he is in danger.
"Understood, boss." Tony lowered his head and said.
Zog walked back to the side of Zero and said, "Help me lift him up now, we'll leave this damn city immediately."
Regarding this suggestion, Tony naturally would not oppose it. His best friend, Carr, was already eternally sleeping in the hospital's basement. Before long, all of Carr's flesh and blood would be devoured by the living corpse, and only his skeleton was left to prove his existence. How sad it was, despite the fact that death played out every day in these turbulent times, and tears of sorrow had become a luxury. With that extra strength, you might as well use it to struggle for survival. That way, you'll be able to live for a few more years.
Therefore, although Tony was sad, it did not show on his face. He silently came to Zog's side and carried his 0 points with his party leader, walking out of the town with his unconscious body.
The accident happened when they were turning the corner of a street.
A figure suddenly rushed out from the abandoned laundry, with a rusty blade in hand, he stabbed it down towards Tony.
Everything happened so suddenly, Tony had no choice but to raise his hand to parry the blade, and his arm was immediately pierced by the blade. He shouted and let go of Zero. Then, he raised his machine gun and fired at the figure.
The man's chest immediately turned red. He kept backing up, and finally fell into the laundry space without a sound.
Tony cursed as he pulled out the blade in his hand. There was rust on the blade, maybe some sort of virus. If Tony did not deal with it soon, his life would be in danger. However, they did not even have the simplest tourniquet. The appropriate medical conditions could only be provided by the base. Tony had no choice but to take off the lining of the protective suit, tear off a strip of cloth and tie it to his arm to prevent the blood from flowing too quickly.
However, their troubles did not stop there. One figure after another emerged from the shadows of the streets. Their clothes were ragged and their eyes were fierce. However, there were no changes to his body, his eyes were normal, and he was not a monster like the living corpse.
"mob?" Zog raised his machine gun.
mob meant trouble, and no small amount of trouble. Although these people were not as bloodthirsty and easy to kill as the living corpse, they were wandering the wilderness and were comparable to wild dogs.
"Boss, it seems to be the group of people we met on the way here." Tony whispered.
Zog nodded his head, because the mob in front them was the man who had shot at them from the side of the road.
A man with a full beard was holding a gun that he had obtained from who knows where. He was obviously the leader of this group. The man made a gesture, and the dozen men with machetes and iron rods immediately scattered and surrounded him.
The distance between the two parties was only about five to ten metres. This distance was enough for Zog and Tony to kill a few of the mob s, but not enough to completely annihilate them.
"What are you guys doing?" Zog asked, hoping that the humanoid beasts could understand the human language.
The leader of the mob pointed his gun at Zog and said with a vague tone of voice, "Car … The key! "
Zog suddenly regretted, maybe when he met this group of mob, he would have had them annihilated. However, that time, he did not want to cause any trouble. What he did not expect was that trouble would come knocking on his door right now. As expected, the mob came for the chariot, but the key wasn't in the car, so they couldn't drive away. As a result, they came to the city to search for the rest. But even though he knew, Zog was unable to change the truth.
Of course, they could not give the keys. Not to mention without the car, three hundred kilometers was more than enough for Zog and the others to walk on for a day or two. Furthermore, even if they took the keys, the mob would not let them off. Zog and the others' clothes, guns, and drinking water were all incomparably precious materials. This could be seen from the greedy eyes of the mob, and there was no mercy to speak of in the wilderness.
Right now, Zog could only hope that Allen had not gone too far away and that he would be able to strike the leader with a spear. Without a leader, this group of mob were without a leader, and it would be much easier to fight them and flee.
Maybe the god had heard Zog's voice. The leader of the mob, who was standing straight straight straight a moment ago, suddenly sprung up in the next moment as blood blossomed from his chest. Then, the sound of a sniper rifle could be heard from afar.
This change was beyond everyone's expectation, the mob were stunned. Zog secretly praised Allen in his heart, but he threw Zero to the ground and bellowed: Kill them!
The machine gun in Zog's hand roared.
