Several people, having already exhausted all their strength, were caught by zombies and began getting torn apart and devoured.
From the distance, Yan Qing continuously slaughtered zombies, desperately trying to carve a path through to save those who had been seized.
But now she herself was surrounded layer upon layer by zombies. Escaping on her own was already difficult enough.
She could only helplessly watch as those people were continuously ripped apart and eaten alive by the zombies, their anguished screams seeming to come from the depths of their souls.
The family members inside the safety circle could no longer endure it.
Adults and children alike picked up spare weapons from the ground or grabbed fallen ones. Ignoring everyone’s attempts to stop them, they stubbornly rushed into the zombie horde, wanting to save their loved ones.
Watching their family members get torn apart and eaten alive right in front of them before dying…
Rather than endure that, they would rather die together with them!
The people running out of the safety circle were either elderly or children.
Before they could even reach their loved ones, zombies grabbed them and began tearing into them.
Their family members no longer had time to stop them.
Or rather, they could no longer open their mouths or stretch out their hands to stop them.
As they watched themselves being torn apart and devoured by zombies, they also watched their loved ones being torn apart and devoured…
For a time, agonized cries echoed across the wilderness grasslands.
The growing scent of blood only made the zombie horde even more excited.
Watching everything unfold while being powerless to stop it, Yan Qing hated the bald man to the extreme.
If he had not ambushed her earlier, she would still be able to use Thunderstorm to save these people!
These people…
Had all died because of the bald man!
She absolutely would not let him go!
Fueled by rage, Yan Qing swung her Tang blade even faster.
Her eyes constantly searched through the crowd for the bald man.
She wanted him to experience the feeling of being eaten alive by zombies!
She wanted him to watch himself being consumed bite by bite!
The cries gradually disappeared.
The zombies began approaching the safety circle again, leaving behind only pools of blood and piles of stark white bones.
The horrifying scene terrified everyone inside the safety circle.
The zombies drew closer and closer.
After smelling the scent of living humans, every zombie became increasingly excited and restless.
More and more people, exhausted from battle, were caught by zombies.
Yan Qing watched one person after another being grabbed and torn apart.
The sorrow and fury in her heart finally overflowed.
“AHHHHH!!! WHY?!”
She raised her head, closed her eyes, and shouted furiously toward the sky.
Why had the apocalypse happened?!
Why were there zombies?!
Why had her lightning ability reached Level 4, yet she still had to watch people die right in front of her without being able to save them?!
Why, why, WHY?!!
Yan Qing’s mind had already reached the brink of collapse.
“Wa wu… oh… ma…”
Suddenly, just as zombies were about to grab Yan Qing, the crying of a baby and strange sounds that seemed like speech echoed in her mind.
The zombie horde instantly stopped.
Silence.
Complete silence.
Everyone stared at the zombies before them and did not dare make a sound.
Even the zombies that had been biting and devouring people suddenly froze in place.
Those currently being bitten tightly shut their eyes and clenched their teeth, forcibly enduring the pain coming from every part of their bodies.
The next second, the zombies moved again.
Everyone’s hearts jumped into their throats.
The people who had been bitten opened their eyes.
Tears filled their eyes as they looked fearfully at the zombies before them.
Thinking the zombies would continue eating them, painful tears streamed down their faces.
“Yi… ya ma… wuwa…”
The strange baby cries echoed through Yan Qing’s mind once more.
This time, the sound seemed to pierce through her skull and spread throughout the entire wilderness grassland.
Perhaps…
It spread through the endless zombie horde as well.
Because the zombies before them suddenly turned around and left without hesitation…
Yan Qing immediately thought of the baby zombie inside her space.
Could those sounds have come from the baby zombie?
Time slowly passed.
By the time the strange crying in her mind stopped, the zombie horde had already retreated so far away that they could no longer be seen.
All the survivors finally let out sighs of relief.
Those who still had family members reunited with them.
Those left alone simply closed their eyes and sat where they were.
Yan Qing also leaned against her Tang blade and sat on the ground with her eyes closed to rest.
Thinking back, the bald man had slashed her earlier.
But she realized she had not felt pain at all.
She had only felt herself being struck.
She stretched her left hand toward her back.
The clothing on her back had been sliced open with a huge tear.
The exposed skin was covered in foul smelling zombie blood, making her original skin impossible to see.
Her eyes immediately widened nervously.
She carefully felt around her back.
Then she discovered…
There was no wound at all.
Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
Da An also ran over and barked repeatedly beside her, expressing concern.
“Don’t worry! I’m fine!”
Yan Qing smiled and rubbed Da An’s head.
Then she stood up and looked toward those in the distance who had been bitten and were crying in pain.
She brought Da An back to the RV and took out a large amount of medical supplies from her space.
“I have medical supplies here. Is there a doctor?”
“I… am…”
One woman who had been bitten weakly raised her hand.
Enduring the pain, she answered Yan Qing in a faint voice.
Seeing this, Yan Qing gathered several people who could still barely walk and instructed them to bring the supplies over and let the doctor distribute them to everyone.
As for Yan Qing herself, she began searching everywhere for the bald man.
At some point, even the bald man’s daughter had disappeared.
At that moment, the bald man was taking his daughter and quietly preparing to escape while everyone else was occupied treating the wounded.
His hand had just touched the car door handle.
Suddenly, a current of electricity flashed across it.
The bald man was instantly electrocuted and rolled around on the ground.
His daughter saw him writhing nonstop and was frightened into tears.
“Dad! Dad! What’s wrong with you?! Dad!!”
The electric current disappeared.
The bald man lay on the ground and looked toward Yan Qing, who was walking toward him step by step.
His eyes were full of terror.
“Y… you…”
“You caused so many people to die just now, and now you’re trying to run away?”
Yan Qing raised her Tang blade and placed it horizontally against his neck.
The bald man cautiously looked at the blade resting against his throat with his drooping eyes.
He was so frightened that he did not dare move.
“I… I didn’t… it wasn’t me… I didn’t kill them…”
Cold sweat continuously rolled down his forehead.
His hands tightly clenched the corners of his clothes.
His face was full of guilt, and he did not dare meet Yan Qing’s eyes.
“You bad woman! Let go of my dad!”
The daughter standing beside him suddenly pulled out a small knife and charged toward Yan Qing.
Yan Qing directly kicked the little girl to the ground.
“Ah!”
The little girl landed hard on the ground and clutched her stomach.
The pain left her unable to move.
Her knife flew off somewhere unknown.
“Xiaoman!”
The bald man looked at his daughter lying on the ground clutching her stomach and anxiously stretched out his hand.
But his neck brushed against the sharp Tang blade, instantly opening a line of blood.
Feeling the stinging pain at his throat, he quickly pulled back.
“What exactly do you want?!”
