Chapter 49: Escape in the Middle of the Night

There is heating in the villa, so I didn't feel that cold. But when I came out, I felt terrible. The wind was like a thorn on my body. No wonder they said not to expose your skin, it really can scratch you and leave bloody marks.

It was really cold. In order to move more easily, I wore three sets of thermal underwear, the kind that was absolutely warm, and a thick fleece windproof jacket. Even so, I was still shivering from the cold.

"How far is it?" Lan Shiruo asked He Lian.

"Two hundred meters away, speed is increasing, we'll be there in three minutes at most."

"Zhang Yun, build an ice wall first and leave an exit."

"good."

"We can't be surrounded. We need to fight our way out first. We don't know what it is yet. I'll be in front, and you guys will react accordingly. Each of you has a musket, and be careful. General and Brother Rat, you guys need to be quick, observe the situation, and provide support."

"good."

"Woo woo." I know.

"Chirp," I understand.

It was getting closer, and even in the pitch black night, one could see a darker mass of black approaching rapidly.

Lan Shiruo narrowed her eyes and her mind raced. What on earth was this?

stinkbug?

Lan Shiruo's face turned ugly. "They are stink bugs. They are all carnivorous adults that can fly. Their stench is poisonous. Let's kill them quickly."

Speaking of stink bugs, all of us have been persecuted to some extent, especially Miaomiao, who lives in the countryside. "When did this thing become so big? It must be as big as an egg, right?"

"This is a secondary mutation. It's very aggressive and toxic. Just clear the way with your musket. Let's go."

Lan Shiruo was in front, Miaomiao Yunshui Yao was on the left, Han Qingquan He Lian was on the right, Zhang Yun built an ice wall in the back to resist, and Jiang Xiang Shu brother protected Zhang Yun.

But, "crack," hundreds of stink bugs hit the ice wall lightly, and it instantly shattered into pieces, making it completely useless.

The stink bugs felt the danger and went crazy.

It seemed that it could still think, and it actually split into two groups, one attacking on land and the other flying in the air. The darkness gave them convenience, allowing them to attack the enemy from all dark corners. With one bite, a big hole was torn in the leather windbreaker.

Lan Shiruo's face was cold. She slapped the stink bug off her arm and stepped on it to death. "Two people are in the middle, and the four of us are scattered in all directions. We should attack with all our strength and speed up. They are surrounding us again." It would be great if there was a car with an electric fence outside so that we can crush them directly.

Now we can only rely on our two legs. If we drive, we will be too conspicuous. The stink bug will cover the whole car like a dog-skin plaster. At that time, the people in the car will be like a turtle in a jar.

The little friend's body was full of pits and holes. He Lian's fighting ability was weak, so the stink bug took advantage of the opportunity and bit through the flesh. The pain made him cry. "You think I'm easy to bully, don't you? I'll burn you to death."

He Lian gritted his teeth and fired wildly with his musket.

The little friend curled his lips, adversity makes people grow.

"Come on, sister wants to eat roasted stink bugs." Miaomiao was inspired and fired the musket to the maximum, completely ignoring the stink bugs on her body. Go ahead and bite me, bite me, and I will kill hundreds of your kind to avenge you.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of stink bug corpses, but the living ones were still coming forward one after another, without any fear at all.

The gap was finally opened. "Concentrate your firepower to cover the rear. I'll drive."

Lan Shiruo released George Patton, "Get in the car."

He Lianjiang Xiangshuxiong was the first, followed by Yunshui Yao Zhangyun, then Miaomiao, and finally Han Qingquan.

Lan Shiruo stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away. Stinky Bug chased after it, but no matter how fast it ran, it could not catch up with the speed of the car.

Lan Shiruo didn't dare to stop and drove all the way onto the concrete road before she relaxed a little. This was the ring road of City B, far away from the city and the suburbs, so it was temporarily safe.

"Besides He Lian, who else was bitten?"

"None."

"There's serum in the medicine box. Take one. The stink bug's biggest toxin is contained in its stink, not in its mouth. Most of the mutant creatures in the apocalypse are poisonous. While the serum isn't a panacea, it can neutralize most toxins until other effective medicines are found. Each of you should carry a few on you, just in case."

"good."

"It's not appropriate to move out of the villa now. Let's find a building to stay in temporarily and pack up everything. It's not suitable to move after dark."

The friends had no objection. The arrival of the stink bug made them realize that the second mutation that Lan Shiruo mentioned was really coming.

The section of the ring road they were on was not far from the city center, and it only took three minutes to reach the ring road toll station.

There were a lot of cars parked in a haphazard manner in the toll station, making it impossible to drive through. Taking a detour back the original route was not only far but also dangerous as it was all in the suburbs. I had no choice but to get off the car and walk.

"Everyone, be careful. Dangers could suddenly appear under, inside, or on top of the car. We just need to pass through the toll booth and stay in the rest room in front."

"clear."

Lan Shiruo led the way, and they tried to walk on the wider path. She wore a headlight and took every step carefully.

Even so, it is still inevitable to be attacked by surprise.

"Woof woof woof." The general roared anxiously, showing his iron claws and cutting off the rotten claws that suddenly stretched out from the car window.

But it failed to stop the corpse's attack. It just stuck its head out, roaring and trying to bite.

Zhang Yun quickly added another blow, chopping off the corpse's head before it calmed down.

But it was still a little too late. The sound had already alarmed the surrounding corpses, and they all ran over quickly.

The road was narrow and there was no way to move. Lan Shiruo didn't even bother to see if there was a crystal core in the corpse's head. She called on her friends to run for their lives.

A rotten corpse attacked from the right, and Miaomiao reacted quickly, swinging the iron ball.

Shocked, it was dodged.

Avoided?

"He actually hid?"

Yunshui Yao chopped off the corpse's head with a single blow of his sword, then slapped Miaomiao in the face, "What are you doing? Are you looking for death?"

Miaomiao was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. She was indeed quite frightened. This was a level two corpse, and it was indeed difficult to deal with.

The other friends were equally surprised. They had all prepared themselves mentally, but they still couldn't help being surprised when they saw it. It was indeed not much different from a normal human being.

They can walk, run, and hide. I don’t know if they can think, but they can form groups to attack humans.

Oh, I think so. They are attacking in groups now.

"He Lian is behind."

Han Qingquan gave a reminder and chopped off the head of a rotten corpse. He Lian subconsciously turned around and saw that the rotten corpse was already in front of him, with the two faces only ten centimeters apart.

"Ah," He Lian screamed, swung the knife to chop off the corpse's head, the rotten pulp sprayed all over his face, and he covered his chest and gasped.

"Don't be dazed, hurry up." Lan Shiruo reminded and ran quickly to the lounge with her friends.

It’s much safer after leaving the traffic-heavy area, and at least the view is much wider.

"Hurry up, they're chasing us."

"Brother He Lianzhang Yunshu, go and see which room can be used. We will cover your retreat."

"Okay." The two men and the rat quickly went to the lounge, which was a small two-story building. There were rotting corpses in the four rooms on the ground floor, banging on the doors desperately, trying to get out.

The two of them and the rat turned and went to the second floor. There was an iron door at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor. It was not closed. No matter if there was anything above, they went up first. "Shiruo, here, go to the second floor."

Four people and a mastiff ran over quickly. Zhang Yun and He Lian opened the iron gate and waited, "Hurry, hurry up."
