Xiao Qiang reached out to scratch Jianjian's nose. "Call me brother." Jianjian smiled shyly... Suddenly, from fifty meters away, a horde of Living Dead emerged from the cave entrance, their mouths dripping with viscous liquid, moving slowly and stiffly. In an instant, the sounds of gunfire, running, and roaring mixed together.
Xiao Qiang quickly scooped up Jianjian and handed her over to Lin Yu, urging them to hide behind the rocks. He turned back and lunged at the Living Dead, wielding a dagger with swift precision, cutting down several of them without hesitation.
Wu Yi was excited; seeing the Living Dead approach was an opportunity he couldn't miss. He raised his AK42 rifle and began firing, aiming for their heads with deadly accuracy, each bullet striking true against the foreheads of the Living Dead.
Gui Ye joined in the fray as well, swinging a pair of hatchets and targeting the necks of the Living Dead.
Watching so many Living Dead appear made Jianjian's heart race, her legs beginning to feel numb. The horrific scene of her adoptive parents' deaths flashed in her mind as she clenched her small fists...
Lin Yu glanced down at Jianjian and leaned closer to whisper, "Aren't you afraid of these monsters?"
"I'm not afraid... they..."
"What is it?"
"...nothing." Jianjian's gaze was fixed anxiously on Xiao Qiang, who was fighting bravely at the front lines, no longer speaking to Lin Yu.
Staying close to this girl meant he had to take responsibility. Lin Yu frowned and thought for a moment. "Jianjian, it's just me here. Can you tell me your name?"
"..." Jianjian withdrew her gaze, sensing a hint of malice in his eyes. She instinctively took a step back and said, "I can't tell you."
"Why not?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled. The more she resisted, the more anxious he became to learn her real name.
"Someone once told me not to share my name with strangers."
"You wouldn't happen to be named Lin Yu, would you?"
Jianjian was taken aback and stepped back without realizing she had exposed herself within the hunting range of the Living Dead. She was only focused on guarding against this seemingly beautiful yet dangerous sister in front of her.
Suddenly, a swollen hand oozing yellowish pus landed heavily on Jianjian's shoulder. "Ah..." she screamed. In a flash, Xiao Qiang turned around and thrust his dagger firmly into the forehead of the Living Dead that had tried to attack Jianjian.
Lin Yu quickly wrapped his arms around the terrified Jianjian as she screamed. Under Xiao Qiang's questioning gaze, he sheepishly withdrew his eyes. Trying to sound soothing, he whispered, "Don't be afraid; I won't hurt you." But inwardly he thought: This girl is such a pain; I really regret saving her.
With weapons in hand and two fearless warriors like Xiao Qiang and Wu Yi by their side, humanity temporarily held the upper hand. They were no ordinary people; for the Living Dead to bite through their necks would be nearly impossible.
However, the companions of Gui Ye could not escape their fate. In their moment of distraction, they were caught off guard by the Living Dead, who bit down hard on one of their necks. The unfortunate soul collapsed to the ground, never to rise again. The ravenous Living Dead swarmed over him, tearing him apart in an instant.
By the time Gui Ye rushed back to help, it was too late. All he could see were piles of Living Dead clawing and biting at his companion's body. Only a half torso remained… blood stained the ground, and the air was thick with the scent of death. Trembling with fear, he witnessed this horror unfold before him. Suddenly, in a fit of rage, he raised his gun and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the blood-soaked Living Dead devouring his companion.
Focused on shooting that group of Living Dead, Gui Ye failed to notice another one creeping up from the side, dangerously close. Another companion, realizing the imminent danger, raised his gun butt to strike at the Living Dead.
But the Living Dead were not easily killed; they felt no pain, rendering any attempts to smash them futile. One of them seized the man's arm and bit down hard, tearing away a large chunk of flesh and greedily consuming it.
Wu Yi arrived to assist, delivering a powerful punch to the head of a Living Dead. The creature’s head snapped off with a sickening crack, its eyes still blinking as it fell to the ground.
Seeing Gui Ye's companion with two bite marks on his arm, Wu Yi raised his gun… a fierce glint flashed in his eyes before slowly turning blood-red.
"Don't be impulsive!" Xiao Qiang exclaimed in alarm, quickly stepping in front of Wu Yi. This guy couldn't handle blood; once he saw it, his temper would flare up. The more he killed, the more vicious he became. He wanted to kill Gui Ye's subordinate—this was not good…
Wu Yi could ignore others' words but took Xiao Qiang's seriously as he struggled to suppress his murderous intent. "He will turn into one of them."
Gui Ye was furious upon hearing that Wu Yi intended to kill one of his own men. He raised his gun and aimed it at Wu Yi's forehead, pulling the trigger slightly. "You dare try?"
Xiao Qiang eliminated the last Living Dead and turned to face Wu Yi and Gui Ye, both on edge.
"Hey, calm down," he said steadily as he approached them. He reprimanded the agitated Gui Ye while glancing at the bitten companion. "Wu Yi is right; he's already infected with the virus and cannot be spared. I didn't want him to handle it earlier; I actually wanted you to do it yourself..."
Under Xiao Qiang's subtle gaze, Lin Yu hurriedly covered Jianjian's face to shield her from the gruesome scene before them.
"Erzi," Gui Ye cried out in anguish.
"Ghost Brother, save me! I don't want to die!" Erzi pleaded as he fell to his knees.
Gui Ye stared at Erzi's arm; the wound was spreading rapidly. The torn flesh had developed numerous yellow blisters that burst open instantly, oozing foul-smelling pus. "Should I just cut off your arm?"
"Stop being ridiculous! If you cut off his arm, are you going to cut off his head too?" Xiao Qiang sighed heavily and suggested.
Gui Ye looked at him in confusion.
"Make him open his mouth and show you his tongue."
As the conversation unfolded, Xiao Qiang secretly gripped his dagger, ready to strike at any moment when Erzi's virus flared up.
Following Gui Ye's instructions, Erzi extended his tongue...
The moment his tongue emerged, Gui Ye trembled all over, his hand clutching the axe shaking uncontrollably!
Within a few minutes, Erzi's tongue grotesquely transformed, resembling the skin of a toad, covered in unevenly sized pus-filled blisters. "This..." Just as Gui Ye was taken aback and unable to retreat in time, Erzi's virus erupted, and he opened his mouth to bite him...
Xiao Qiang moved swiftly, and Wu Yi followed suit.
Erzi fell dead under the coordinated attack of Xiao Qiang and Wu Yi.
Erzi lay lifeless, eyes wide open in shock, blood dripping from his gaze. A gaping wound the size of a bowl on his neck oozed streams of foul blood.
At this moment, it was still not the time for the Living Dead to be active. Given the current situation, these Living Dead were evolving continuously and seemed to be developing immunity to daylight. If that were true, it would be terrifying.
In the days to come, even in broad daylight, humanity would live in constant fear within what was once their paradise. They would tremble in narrow paths, fearing sudden attacks from the Living Dead, desperately seeking survival while longing for the first light of dawn. Yet, the shadow of death loomed endlessly over them.
