Chapter 31: Then Kill It

Wen Yao didn’t have time to think. She quickly opened the door and said to the three of them, “Qiu Zhi, you ride the tricycle and take the two of them away. Run in the opposite direction of the zombie horde.”

Qiu Zhi quickly got on the broken tricycle at the door. Jin Yiwen, ignoring the scrap metal piled on top, quickly climbed up and pulled Bei Xiaoduo.

After the three of them ran in the opposite direction of the zombie horde, Wen Yao followed with her iron knife.

Unfortunately, the opposite direction of the zombie horde wasn’t safe either. Even if it wasn’t the horde itself, there were still scattered, lone zombies.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, shrouding a full moon. The boundless grassland looked like it was sprinkled with silver frost. This should have been a beautiful night scene, but the grotesque and disgusting zombies poking their heads out of the grass destroyed this desolate beauty.

Bei Xiaoduo screamed and cried in fear. Jin Yiwen held Bei Xiaoduo tightly. Qiu Zhi held the handlebars of the tricycle with both hands, swaying frantically left and right: “B-Boss, save us!”

Wen Yao followed beside the tricycle, chopping off a zombie’s head with a knife.

“Damn it, damn it! Boss, over here!” Qiu Zhi looked terrified. Wen Yao quickly went over and delivered another blow.

After killing the scattered zombies around them, she looked back: “At this speed, you won’t be able to outrun the zombie horde.”

Qiu Zhi: “It’s not my fault! It’s because the two of them are too heavy!”

Jin Yiwen: “How heavy can we be? It’s this pile of scrap metal that’s heavy, okay?”

Bei Xiaoduo didn’t know what to say, so she could only hug Jin Yiwen and sob.

Qiu Zhi said again, “It rained the other day, so the ground is full of mud. The wheels are stuck…”

Wen Yao: “Leave the car, the three of you run forward, just run when you see zombies.”

Bei Xiaoduo hugged Jin Yiwen tightly: “Wuwuwu, I’m scared…”

Jin Yiwen held the iron pliers. Although she wasn’t as panicked as Bei Xiaoduo, she was still scared: “It’s so dark, I… I’m scared too.”

Qiu Zhi looked at the two of them, picked up his usual iron rod from the tricycle, and asked eagerly: “Are we running?”

Wen Yao, whose hands had never stopped, was speechless.

How could there be such useless teammates!

As they hesitated and struggled, a red-eyed zombie suddenly grabbed Jin Yiwen’s back. Wen Yao instinctively reached out to block it. In the next moment, her clothes were torn, and her flesh was ripped open by the zombie’s sharp claws. The smell of blood spread through the air.

The pain made her frown, but she still mustered all her strength to take down the claw-shaped zombie.

Bei Xiaoduo cried even louder. Qiu Zhi’s pupils reflected Wen Yao’s nimble figure, while Jin Yiwen closed her eyes tightly.

The zombie horde gradually approached, their roars rising and falling. Their combined footsteps were heavy and powerful, as if a giant was approaching, shaking the very earth.

Cold sweat dripped down Wen Yao’s forehead. Her shimmering eyes were filled with anger, and her usually gentle temperament couldn’t help but flare up: “If you don’t run, you’ll just die here. I don’t care about you anymore!”

Qiu Zhi didn’t know what to do. In a moment of extreme danger, his eyes suddenly lit up: “Headlights! There are headlights over there! Someone’s coming!”

Jin Yiwen heard Wen Yao say she didn’t care about them anymore, so she pulled Bei Xiaoduo off the car. Now that she heard Qiu Zhi’s words, the two girls quickly ran towards the headlights.

Qiu Zhi had already run a few steps, but he turned back, looking at Wen Yao’s injury, and reached out to her: “Can you run? Otherwise, I’ll pull you?”

Before Wen Yao could respond, another zombie lurched out of the grass. It was a long-tongued zombie, its foul-smelling red tongue attacking Qiu Zhi. Wen Yao quickly swung her iron knife.

But because the iron knife was too dull, not only did it fail to cut through the long tongue, but it was actually wrapped around by the tongue. Wen Yao wanted to throw away the iron knife, but her ankle was also entangled by something wet.

Looking down, she saw a long-tongued zombie head lying on the ground. Although it didn’t have a body or limbs, its head was alive.

As they were locked in a stalemate, Bei Xiaoduo, who had already run away, turned back in terror: “Boss seems to be unable to run…”

Jin Yiwen didn’t stop: “What does it matter to us? She’s so strong, we’ll just be asking for death if we go back!”

Qiu Zhi held the iron rod in his hand, watching Wen Yao fight the long-tongued zombie with great anxiety. He couldn’t run, and he couldn’t stay: “Boss…”

Until the sound of the engine approached, a blinding white light shone, followed by a barrage of gunshots. The zombie horde in the distance fell down one after another. The long-tongued zombie next to Wen Yao suddenly exploded.

Qiu Zhi shielded his eyes with his hand, squinting to see.

At this time, more than ten military vehicles surrounded them, forming a large circle around their location. Men in black uniforms got out of the cars. They held guns in their hands, and after a few seconds of rustling, they stood in neat rows. Looking at them, their formation was magnificent, their aura intimidating.

Qiu Zhi looked at the logo on the car, a little dumbfounded: “Damn, this lineup… is this the headquarters of the 14th District team?”

Jin Yiwen and Bei Xiaoduo followed the military vehicles back. Seeing this grand scene, they were all stunned for a few seconds.

Bei Xiaoduo asked in a low voice: “They… are they team members?”

Jin Yiwen had never seen so many team members before. Her eyes were filled with excitement: “They must be. They’re here to save us. We’re saved!”

Wen Yao finished off the zombie head on the ground with a knife, then raised her head slowly.

Looking at this grand scene, she was also stunned. She inexplicably felt like they were wanted criminals, and they were even major criminals who had caused a sensation in the four continents. Otherwise, how could they have attracted so many powerful figures to capture them?

The black queue holding guns retreated into two formations, aiming at Wen Yao’s direction. A small path formed in the middle of the crowd, leading to a black modified off-road vehicle.

He Fengyan, who was holding a pistol, got out of the car first. Looking at the two figures in tattered clothes, he reported expressionlessly: “Captain Ming, we’ve found them.”

Then another person got out of the car. The man’s appearance was stunningly beautiful, and he was always dressed in white, making him stand out among the crowd of black-clad men. From the moment he appeared, he attracted everyone’s attention.

Qiu Zhi and the others usually didn’t have contact with people of this level, so they didn’t recognize who he was for a while. They could only feel the man’s impeccable nobility and elegance. His appearance in this desolate wilderness under dark clouds seemed out of place, like a handsome and cold god suddenly descending to the world, giving them a sense of unreality.

In this world, everyone was living a miserable life. To be able to maintain such cleanliness and neatness, it was obvious that he was a big shot.

Ji Mingchen’s brows furrowed slightly. He didn’t look at anyone, and strode towards the girl holding the iron knife, dressed in tattered clothes.

Wen Yao saw Ji Mingchen getting out of the car and walking towards her, and she was stunned: “Why are you here?”

“It’s not me, who else could it be? Hmm?” Ji Mingchen lowered his eyes, reached out to brush away the weeds on her head, and then wiped the blood off her face.

Looking at the zombie slime on his fingertips, the man looked disgusted. He originally wanted to rub it off on her, but not only did he fail to get rid of the dirt on his fingers, but he also got his hands covered in black.

Seeing that her clothes had stained his white and jade-like hands black, Wen Yao felt inexplicably embarrassed: “Sorry, I dug coal all day yesterday, so I haven’t washed my clothes.”

“…”

Ji Mingchen saw that she was injured, and he wanted to hug her. But her clothes were too dirty. They were not only torn and dirty, but they also emitted a foul odor from the zombie slime.

He could tolerate anything, but he really couldn’t stand dirt, mess, and stench. After much deliberation, he finally withdrew his hand: “…Little dirty bag, can you walk by yourself now?”
