Shen Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Contrary to his expectations, what he saw was not the face of a mature woman, but that of a young girl.
A girl who looked no older than fifteen or sixteen, her face filled with anxiety as she kept calling out "Grandpa."
She was dressed in sportswear, having already discarded the fire axe, and there was a section of a High-Intensity Flashlight sticking out from her pocket.
Shen Yuan's heart stirred.
When he first arrived here, he had seen a flash of bright light; someone had discovered him using a High-Intensity Flashlight. Now that he thought about it, it probably wasn't the Smoking Man's group but Wei Luhe.
Old Wei really looked very old, and it was the kind of sickly old age, with a head full of white hair and a wrinkled face, pale as if...
From excessive blood loss?
Shen Yuan recalled the conversations of those people earlier and observed carefully. He indeed noticed bloodstains on Old Wei's wrist, but there were no wounds.
Not a single scratch.
Were the bloodstains from someone else?
It shouldn't be; it must be his own. Otherwise, how could those people drink his blood?
So why were there no wounds?
Shen Yuan recalled Wei Luhe's words.
"Help me save my grandfather! My grandfather can help you recover instantly! He can also make you immune to Zombie bites!"
Instant recovery?
Recovery of wounds?
If he could really make his wounds recover instantly, then his own wounds would also be easy to heal!
It seemed that Wei Luhe's words were not just a desperate fabrication; at least part of it was true.
He certainly wanted to try taking Old Wei's blood immediately, as being shot in the right leg was not comfortable, and the intense pain was tormenting his nerves.
However, Old Wei looked like he was on the verge of death. He feared that if he drew blood, he might end up killing Old Wei... He didn't want to kill someone for no reason, even if it wasn't intentional; he couldn't get past that in his heart.
Yes, that was the reason.
As for whether Wei Luhe would oppose him or fight back?
Shen Yuan didn't care!
"Find a way to wake him up and feed him something. He must have lost too much blood; as long as we replenish his nutrients in time, it should be fine."
Shen Yuan instructed Chi Qinghua to get some food and water for her, then said calmly, "Now, you should answer my questions. I hope you answer seriously and honestly because this concerns our safety. Remember! If your lies lead us into danger, I will kill you first and then your grandfather!"
Wei Luhe heard his words and immediately opened his arms to protect her grandfather, her eyes glaring fiercely at Shen Yuan, like a Old Hen... well, like a little chick guarding the Old Hen.
Sad and laughable, pitiful and lamentable.
"If you dare to touch my grandfather, I will fight you to the death!" Wei Luhe gritted her teeth, her thin cheeks puffed up, looking like a little tiger.
A cute little tiger, a toothless little tiger, with no threat.
"If you want your grandfather to live well, answer my questions and find a way to wake him up. Don't let him starve or die of thirst," Shen Yuan said calmly.
The little tiger was not appealing to him; she was not his type, even if this little tiger had a good figure, with curves in the right places...
Well, too young is not good.
While Shen Yuan loaded his Activated Semi-Automatic Pistol and magazine, he began to ask questions.
Then he learned the information he wanted to know.
Wei Luhe's grandfather is named Wei Jiankang, 68 years old, an Old Chinese Medicine Doctor, living in the nearby Talent Community.
Wei Jiankang had a habit of exercising early in the morning. Yesterday morning, around five o'clock, he took Wei Luhe out for a run.
When they reached Wanlai Square around six o'clock, they suddenly saw a Mutant Mouse biting someone, and that person turned into a Zombie.
Soon, more than a dozen Mutant Mice appeared one after another, biting many people. The number of Zombies increased rapidly and soon became uncontrollable. The entire Wanlai Square was filled with Zombies, making it unsafe anywhere.
Wei Jiankang, along with Wei Luhe and several others, took the elevator to the rooftop terrace of Office Building A. They locked the anti-theft door and then piled various random items against it.
They thought they were safe.
Indeed, no Zombie could get in, and no Mutant Mouse made its way to the terrace.
However, soon after, a heavy rain began to pour!
These people had nowhere to go and were all shivering in the downpour. Before long, Wei Jiankang and Wei Luhe felt an intense heat all over their bodies.
At first, their skin felt hot, then their entire bodies became warm, and they experienced extreme thirst that was unbearable.
Unable to tolerate it any longer, they opened their mouths to drink the rainwater. When a little rainwater wasn't enough, they lay down on the ground to drink the accumulated rainwater.
Then they felt their internal organs heating up, as if they were being burned by fire.
Everyone was the same.
Then Wei Luhe witnessed someone die right before his eyes; they spontaneously combusted, flames erupting from that person's body, which even the torrential rain could not extinguish.
In just a few minutes, that person was reduced to ashes, washed away by the rainwater, disappearing forever without leaving a trace!
Out of more than ten people, several spontaneously combusted one after another.
The remaining individuals who did not catch fire soon began to undergo physical mutations.
Wei Luhe felt the heat on her body slowly dissipating, and some strange changes were occurring.
She felt her body becoming lighter, and later discovered that her jumping ability had greatly improved, her speed had increased, and she walked with remarkable lightness. However, her strength only saw a slight increase. Her hearing and vision became exceptionally sharp, and she even gained night vision, allowing her to see more clearly and farther in the dark than others!
Wei Jiankang also underwent changes.
He suddenly appeared much younger; at 68 years old, he looked like he was 28, very healthy and full of vitality. He felt energetic, with an inexhaustible supply of strength. As an Old Chinese Medicine Doctor, he was confident that his bodily functions had completely returned to the peak of his twenties, as if he had suddenly become young again!
Rejuvenation!
Everyone was undergoing changes.
Some developed scales on their bodies, while others grew bone spurs on their hands!
Among them, Wei Luhe was most struck by two individuals: one was completely encased in ice and gained the ability to control ice; the other was accompanied by a half-meter tall Wolfdog, which had grown larger in size, while that person's body also expanded significantly—from about 1.8 meters to 1.85 meters!
"The one with ice control is called Zhang Chenggong! The one with the Wolfdog calls himself Wolf Head!” Wei Luhe gritted her teeth; these were the two people she hated most in her life!
At that moment, everyone had mutated and felt ecstatic, but they also experienced an overwhelming hunger that was unbearable. Just then, the Security Iron Door was suddenly smashed open, and Zombies rushed in!
