Chapter 19 Fu Jingmo is Angry

As they walked a short distance, the edge of the road gradually became impassable, so the group had to move onto the road and weave through the gaps between the cars.

Various vehicles were on the road, including trucks, buses, and small cars. Everyone bent down as they walked, trying to choose taller vehicles to shield their figures.

Lin Mu closely followed Fu Jingmo, his hatchet had long been chipped in town and replaced with an iron rod from an auto repair shop.

It was the early afternoon, and the sun was scorching. The backpack on his back was not light, and sweat had already started to trickle down his chest, causing him to furrow his brows.

Fu Jingmo, on the other hand, appeared relaxed. This level of activity was nothing for someone who had undergone years of training, especially considering that the physical strength of a mutated person was different from that of an ordinary person.
After walking for nearly two kilometers, Fu Jingmo’s expression suddenly changed, and the leading Red Scorpion also stopped. She turned around, her expression serious, “Did you hear that…?”

Fu Jingmo nodded, his sharp gaze looking into the distance, “There’s a group of zombies coming.”

The dense sound of footsteps, along with the intensifying stench, led him to an immediate conclusion.

He took a few steps forward, used the nearby private car to propel himself, and jumped onto the roof of a truck to look into the distance.

Sure enough, a dense group of zombies was coming from a few hundred meters away, heading towards the road.

Their speed was not fast, dragging their damaged bodies, they crowded into the gaps between the vehicles, swaying and moving in this direction.

Fu Jingmo lowered his head and whispered to the people below, “Everyone, don’t make a sound. Get to the top of the big truck, lie down, and wait for them to pass.”

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly searched for the taller trucks. However, even on top of a truck, only three to five people could lie down.

The Red Scorpion’s group, although together, immediately lost their composure when faced with the approaching thousands of zombies, scrambling to climb onto the vehicles.

One thin and weak man, trembling with fear, turned and ran back the way they came, shouting as he ran, “I’m not going, I’m not going with you!!”

Before he could run more than a few meters, two scorpions flew out and landed on his legs, their sharp poisonous tails piercing into the man’s calf.

The man immediately stiffened and fell to the ground, unable to make a sound. Obviously, he would soon be dead.

Lin Mu was about to climb onto Fu Jingmo’s truck when several people behind him forcefully pushed him away.

He was relatively thin and originally just a painter, no matter how clever and calm he was, he was not as physically strong as these laboring people.

Moreover, there was also that bald man with the strength mutation, perhaps he had long disliked them, and he pushed Lin Mu aside and climbed onto the top of the truck.

The immense force caused Lin Mu to fall heavily to the ground, with his chest feeling like it was about to explode, and his palms leaving a bloody trail on the rough ground.

In Fu Jingmo’s eyes, a cold killing intent emerged. He coldly glanced at the bald man, got out of the car, and pulled Lin Mu up from the ground. “Are you okay?”

Lin Mu gritted his teeth to endure the pain, “I’m fine, let’s find a place to hide for now.”

The zombies were gradually getting closer, and their moving heads were now visible.

The truck was too crowded for anyone else to get in, so Fu Jingmo pulled Lin Mu down and said, “Get in.”

The two of them crawled under the truck. He took Lin Mu’s hand, searched for bandages in the bag, and Lin Mu softly said, “I’m fine.”

His hands were stained with blood and dirt. Fu Jingmo carefully cleaned him up, wrapped the bandage around, and a hint of strangeness flickered across his cold face. It seemed like an explanation when he said, “Zombies can smell the scent of blood.”

“Yeah,” Lin Mu responded, allowing Fu Jingmo to bandage him.

In less than two minutes, the dragging footsteps sounded clearly in their ears.

The two looked outside, where pairs of feet passed by the car. They were dirty, bloodied, emitting a putrid smell, definitely not belonging to living people.

Lin Mu held his breath, watching outside, his heart pounding wildly in his chest.

When facing the zombies in town, they were exposed outside, not even having time to be afraid.

Hiding like this feels completely different, the situation is too intense. If this zombie horde finds them, they will have nowhere to escape.
The man killed by the red scorpion is lying less than five meters in front of them. The zombies After discovering this fresh flesh and blood, they crowded crazily and lay on the ground to eat it.

The man who was still alive just now was disembowelled, his intestines flowed all over the floor, and the sound of chewing filled Lin Mu’s ears.

As he looked at this scene, his body could not help but tremble slightly, his eyes widened, and he wanted to vomit. There was a hand across his waist, carrying irresistible power.

Fu Jingmo hugged Lin Mu into his arms, and stretched out his other hand to cover his eyes. Lin Mu’s eyelashes swept across his palm, causing a slight itch.

The cold scent of pinewood on the tip of Lin Mu’s nose dispelled the rotten smell of many zombies. Lin Mu blinked blankly, and the warm touch in front of his eyes made his heart strangely calm.

The two of them lay in this position for more than ten minutes, until the number of zombies gradually decreased, and Fu Jingmo let go of his hand.

The bright light returned to his eyes, and Lin Mu opened his eyes and faced Fu Jingmo’s smiling face.

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed, pursed his lips, said “Thank you”, then lowered his head and stopped looking at him.

After waiting for about five minutes to confirm that no zombies were coming again, the two of them got out from under the car, and the Red Scorpion people also climbed down from the roof of the car one by one.

Fu Jingmo dusted off the dirt from his body, then suddenly stepped forward and punched the bald guy on the head. With a bang, the bald guy’s head hit the truck’s compartment hard, his body rebounded, and he fell heavily to the ground.

A crater was made in the carriage of the truck. Even if the bald man was a mutant, he could not get up from the ground.

Fu Jingmo shook his hand, looked down at him, as if looking at a dead person, “If there’s a next time, your head will be just like your hammer.”

Red Scorpion looked into the distance, ignoring him. She also saw the bald guy taking Lin Mu’s spot in front of her and admitted that she was in the wrong.

Moreover, she is no match for Fu Jingmo. This man is not an ordinary mutant.

The bald guy struggled to get up. Since his mutation, he considered himself a powerful mutant and had often used his fists to communicate with others. This was the first time he had taken a fall.

He shook his swollen pig-like head, stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood spurting from under his nose, and stared at Fu Jingmo and Lin Mu hatefully, with a weird smile on his face.

Lin Mu tugged at Fu Jingmo’s sleeve. “Let’s go.”

He knew that Fu Jingmo was venting for his sake, protecting him, and couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his heart.

After everyone had adjusted, they set off again. This time, they didn’t encounter large groups of zombies until they had left the vehicle cluster.

At the end, they found two drivable cars and headed towards the city.
