“Shh, look what I found, a lone Zombie! Zombies are rich in protein and can provide us with... cough, cough, the Zombie is also teeming with viruses, which are deadly. Remember, even when you're starving, never consume them unless you want to become one of them. In Kapa City, there were hungry citizens who ate them, and the result was tragic.”
Belgrills shrugged at the camera and then pointed to the Zombie gnawing on a corpse in front of him. They were positioned at the second-floor corridor of the airport, providing a good view of most of the first floor. The scene in the hall was extremely chaotic; apart from the Zombies feasting on corpses and wandering Corpses, there were almost no signs of living people.
“Zombies are dangerous, but they have poor eyesight. As long as you keep quiet and approach them from behind with the wind at your back, you can easily take them down. We need to effectively use various tools.” After a brief explanation, Belgrills crouched down and sneaked over, using a discarded pipe to smash the Zombie's head.
“To ensure the Zombie is completely ‘dead,’ it's best to sever its head. But remember, even if you cut off its head, the remaining parts are still not safe to eat—cooking won't make it any better.” He looked serious as if he believed someone might actually consider eating such disgusting things if he didn’t remind them.
At that moment, several fast-moving figures appeared from below in the airport's waiting area and moved in a specific direction.
“Ah, what a pity! They’re being too loud. Even though the team ahead of them is drawing some attention, it’s still too dangerous. Remember, do not imitate their actions; that would be a death wish.” After seeing those reckless examples below, Belgrills didn’t forget to address his dedicated cameraman in an educational tone.
“Hey? Look! Just as I finished speaking, a perfect demonstration appeared. In an area densely populated with Zombies, we must act like that.” Just as four figures slipped into view ahead, another figure emerged from another direction—a person wearing a helmet and draped in a Black Cloak that concealed their form entirely.
“Captain, do we really have to go in?” One of Liu Lianyue's rough-looking companions asked as they navigated around some Corpses after entering the first floor of the waiting area.
“There are quite a few Zombie corpses nearby; rescue teams must have come through here already. I believe our risk won’t be too high. The Leader has sent word about a mission; we must rescue an important British individual. Otherwise, we might face trouble even worse than this Virus Incident.” Liu Lianyue frowned as she spoke.
She couldn’t quite understand why they needed to rescue a British person, but the Leader rarely made mistakes in judgment. This time he had entrusted her with decision-making authority. After briefly hearing about the stakes from the Leader, Liu Lianyue decisively chose to go for the rescue.
As for how to show goodwill towards that British individual—saving him should suffice.
Along the way, she took down several lone Corpses and found these grotesque fellows weren’t too difficult to deal with. No wonder the media kept reassuring people; there really wasn’t much to worry about—dealing with Zombies was far simpler than dealing with humans.
However, since a rescue team had already cleared through ahead of her, Liu Lianyue overlooked a crucial issue: in such an environment, what made Corpses truly terrifying wasn’t their strength or the viruses they carried but their dense and massive numbers.
If they went unnoticed for long enough, it wouldn’t be a problem. But once they were discovered without timely resolution, they would snowball into an overwhelming force.
“Theoretically, George Osborne should be in the VIP Lounge, which is located deep inside... huh? Are there living people ahead?” Yang Xiaoyou was initially troubled while looking at an airport map showing the VIP Lounge's location when she suddenly noticed something strange about the movements of the surrounding Corpses.
Through his own experience, he immediately deduced that there were some fellows who did not understand the habits of the Corpse, causing a certain level of chaos.
At present, due to the many corners and obstacles inside the airport, it had not yet reached the worst level. However, if the other party continued like this, they would undoubtedly face death.
"Hey, hey, your direction is all wrong. Are you sure it doesn't overlap with my target?" After glancing at the movements of the Corpse and calculating the source of the disturbance, Yang Xiaoyou also took a look at the map behind him, feeling a bit of a headache.
There were indeed other ways to enter the VIP Lounge, but crossing the entire hall to reach the second floor would likely be even riskier.
After recalculating and weighing his options, Heart reluctantly moved quickly in that direction, hoping it wasn't too late. Otherwise, that British Conservative's future Leader would have to be left to fate; after all, his own life was more important.
A powerful kick struck the head of a Corpse dressed in a suit, its chest stained red. Liu Lianyue felt beads of sweat forming on her forehead, and her chest rose and fell from the exertion, making her appear quite alluring. "Wait a second, something's off. These Zombies may seem aimless, but they seem to be shifting significantly towards our direction."
After encountering several Corpses in quick succession, Liu Lianyue finally realized something was wrong. Although those outer Corpses had not yet noticed them, they were drawn closer by the commotion here. Instinctively moving towards them, once the Corpses truly detected their prey, they would face endless pursuit.
Just as Liu Lianyue made this realization, gunshots suddenly echoed from ahead, undoubtedly accelerating the gathering of nearby Corpses.
"This is bad; we need to hide over here." Recognizing the danger, Liu Lianyue decisively led her three subordinates into the women's restroom beside them and gently closed the door to minimize noise.
Inside the restroom, bloodstains marred the white walls. However, any Corpses that should have been there had already been cleaned up; only bodies remained on the floor.
Yet the smell of blood in the air overpowered even the scent of air freshener.
"Rescue team? Why would there be such continuous gunfire in such a confined space? Hmm? It's thinning out? No way." Following along the corridor and trying to reach the VIP Lounge before more Corpses gathered, Yang Xiaoyou stealthily moved forward.
When he heard gunfire ahead, he couldn't help but curse his luck. The fact that it had lasted so long made his pupils constrict in an instant.
At that moment, Yang Xiaoyou held a handgun that she had taken from an unconscious police officer. In a building like the airport, using a gun was not a problem, as most of the corpses had been separated by the complex terrain inside. It was entirely different in a spacious urban area.
As long as she could handle the nearby corpses, using a gun was completely fine. However, given the situation, Yang Xiaoyou could also confirm that aside from the environment of the waiting hall when she entered, there should not be such dense and continuous gunfire in other areas.
"Five, four, so fast," she thought, her ears picking up the fading sound of gunfire, which transitioned from dense to sparse. Sweat began to bead on her forehead.
This pattern of silence was definitely not a ceasefire after most of the corpses had been cleaned up; rather, it indicated that the original gunman had to interrupt their firepower due to some unforeseen circumstances.
As for what that unforeseen circumstance might be...
"Could it be that someone is deliberately targeting George Osborne? No way... Damn it, it must be that fellow! Absolutely him!" As a series of thoughts connected in her mind, Yang Xiaoyou quickly clarified her entire line of reasoning.
If she wasn't mistaken, the key figure behind this terror incident was likely Huang Jing, with whom she had previously clashed.
Her memory did not include any mention of this virus incident in Sh City, which meant that the changes in events were somehow related to her. Initially, Yang Xiaoyou thought it was connected to Hank, who had stolen the virus. This was a man-made incident aimed at George Osborne.
However, the complete annihilation of the rescue team ahead made it clear that this tragedy was caused by Huang Jing after he escaped from being killed by Feng Lin.
The reason he chose this country was probably because he couldn't let go of his beloved students and his own family.
Each corpse was an extremely abnormal psychopath. They could disguise themselves as ordinary people and replenish some energy through regular food. However, they were increasingly fond of living beings whose genes were closer to their own; they found them more appetizing.
Realizing something was off and sensing that those corpses behind her were being drawn by the sound of gunfire and closing in on her position, Yang Xiaoyou immediately stopped pretending and stood up. With her hands slightly lowered, she sprinted forward at high speed.
Along the way, she maneuvered around the corpses with sheer speed. If she couldn't avoid them, she would use thunderous force to crush any obstacles in her path. A seemingly casual swing of her arm would create a sharp gust of wind that struck nearby corpses in the head or throat with brutal force.
The sound of bones cracking and the sight of a Corpse being lifted off the ground made it clear just how powerful his attacks were.
To avoid being surrounded by the gathering Corpses behind him and the unknown situation ahead, he needed to find a hiding spot in this corridor. He planned to wait until most of the Corpses had passed before figuring out a way to reach the VIP Lounge from another direction.
As Yang Xiaoyou sprinted around a corner, his eyes lit up slightly. He instantly activated his 2.5 times Cognitive Acceleration mode, causing everything around him to slow down.
With the aid of Limit Release, Yang Xiaoyou reached an incredible speed in this slowed environment. In just a few seconds, he transformed into a raging beast. As he burst forward, the five Corpses hadn’t even had time to React.
He kicked one Female Corpse squarely in the head with such force that it flew into the air, crashing into another Middle-Aged Corpse behind it.
Then, a Skinny Man came at him in slow motion, and with a swift movement, he struck the man’s throat, twisting his head at an unnatural angle before sending him tumbling backward.
Before the first Corpse had even hit the ground, he grabbed the shoulder of another Flight Attendant Corpse, using it as leverage to spin around and deliver a powerful kick to the head of the last Elderly Corpse. At the same time, he twisted the neck of the Flight Attendant, snapping it cleanly.
Finally, he approached the first Corpse that had been knocked down and had yet to rise. With a single stomp, he crushed its skull.
In just a matter of seconds, while the initially knocked-down Corpse was still struggling to get up, he had violently dispatched all five Corpses with a ferocity akin to autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.
After dealing with the nearby Corpses, he took a moment to observe before entering a nearby men's restroom, gently closing the door behind him.
