Chapter 114 Unexpected Event

Everyone was focused on Mu Xiaoxiao and gathered around the rooftop railing. No one noticed that the enormous thing on the rooftop of the inpatient department—the helicopter—was gone!

Mu Qingrong and her group of more than a dozen people had already left the hospital far behind, and were still struggling to move forward.

According to their plan, they were to return to the highway they had come from. According to Mo Huaiyu's reconnaissance, the zombies on the highway were all attracted to the zombies on this side.

This led to an increase in the number of zombies near the hospital, while the number of zombies on the road decreased, which gave them an opportunity to leave.

As planned, they got up at 3 a.m. to prepare. They wrapped their skin with plastic wrap provided by Mu Qingyu, then put on two layers of clothes. Finally, enduring the nausea, they carefully removed the already rotting internal organs of the zombies and smeared them on their bodies to cover up their "human smell".

When the time was right, the incendiary bombs and torches were distributed to everyone, the torches were lit, and the group set off.

Mu Qingrong and Jing Chen led the charge, with Han Yu and Lao Jiang bringing up the rear.

But Mu Qingyu quietly went upstairs alone.

Mu Qingrong and her group made their way out smoothly. The smell of decay masked their body odor, and the torches kept the zombies away. They quietly crossed the hospital lawn, passed through the outpatient building, and left the hospital.

No one spoke; they all moved forward cautiously, their nerves on edge.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, shrill screams echoed from the hospital, and zombies began to surge into the hospital, relieving them of some of the pressure.

Still no one spoke. All they knew was that Mu Qingyu had gone to steal the helicopter, and that he would come out and meet up with them once he succeeded. With Mo Huaiyu around, they weren't afraid of anyone getting lost within his mental range.

But suddenly someone screamed, and they didn't know what had happened. It sounded like a woman's voice. Some people were worried that something had happened to Mu Qingyu, but no one dared to speak.

Mu Qingrong continued walking forward with unwavering determination, while Mo Huaili calmly pointed the way with her finger. Seeing this, Qi Tianren had even less to say.

Moving forward is the only goal right now!

They only felt the pressure increase significantly when they walked close to the hotel.

No wonder Huo Siyu and her group wanted to leave this place. There were even more zombies here, densely packed, and the hotel had already been breached, with zombies roaming around everywhere.

At this point, due to the increased density of zombies and their ever-closer proximity, the effectiveness of torches began to diminish...

Finally, when a zombie was almost face-to-face with her, the only two women in Jingchen's team couldn't take it anymore and pushed the zombie away.

The torch in his hand fell to the ground as a result.

The scream completely attracted the zombie's attention. Instead of pushing the zombie away, the girl provoked it to pounce on her.

Fortunately, her companion was quick-witted and pulled her away. He then took up a steel rod and faced the zombie. Although he smashed the zombie's head, the next zombie bit his arm.

"Amin!" The rescued girl cried as she ran towards her bitten companion.

The line immediately fell into disarray.

But Mu Qingrong remained calm. He remembered his sister's instructions: look ahead, don't look back, and your only goal is to reach a place with fewer zombies!

"Light all the torches! Full speed ahead. Only use incendiary bombs if you absolutely have no other choice." Incendiary bombs are effective, but they produce a loud bang, which will attract even more zombies.

Before setting off, Mu Qingyu had reminded everyone not to use incendiary bombs unless absolutely necessary.

"Xiaoya, don't come any closer!" the young man named Amin shouted. He had already been bitten by a zombie and was beyond saving, but Xiaoya couldn't be sacrificed too!

Unfortunately, his shouts came too late.

Before Xiaoya could even get close to him, she was pounced on by another zombie.

Old Jiang, at the back of the group, reached out to pull Xiaoya back, but his hand grasped only empty air. Turning his head, he saw another zombie lunging at him…

"Dad, watch out!" Old Jiang's two children shouted, rushing to their father's aid.

The team fell into disarray.

On the other side, in desperation, Amin also used an incendiary bomb, hurling it forcefully at the zombies surrounding them: "Die! You disgusting monsters! Die!"

The incendiary bomb landed with a roar and bursts of flame.

The flames not only engulfed the zombies, but also consumed Amin.

“Ah… Ming…” Xiaoya, whose throat had been bitten off by a zombie, had tears welling up in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and pulled out an incendiary bomb.

"Boom!" Flames engulfed Xiaoya and the zombies that pounced on her at the same time!

"Boom boom boom!"

Now, all they could do was pull out their Molotov cocktails and throw them at the zombies, and they all pulled out their weapons and began to fight.

When Mu Qingyu rushed back, she was greeted by a deafening roar and flames.

The first thing Mu Qingyu did was to confirm Mu Qingrong's safety.

Mu Qingrong is fine; he is seriously fighting the zombies.

Mu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief. She began her airdrop.

Everyone barely rested yesterday; they spent most of their time making incendiary bombs. They practically used up half of the alcohol Mu Qingyu had received from the hospital.

However, when they went out, each person could only carry a limited number of incendiary bombs, so each person only took two or three, and the rest were in Mu Qingyu's space.

Upon returning, Mu Qingyu seized the opportunity to throw incendiary bombs at the densest area of ​​zombies on the outer perimeter.

Her level two physical mutation greatly increased her speed, allowing her to collect zombie heads while searching for suitable positions to drop incendiary grenades.

She wanted to clear out enough breathing space for herself and her group.

Mu Qingyu's return greatly boosted everyone's confidence and reduced their pressure.

Mu Qingyu is like a bomb now; wherever she appears, flames engulf the area.

After about twenty minutes of clearing, Mu Qingyu had indeed cleared out a space!

The group finally killed all the zombies around them, and while they breathed a sigh of relief, their mood was also a little heavy.

Two people died in Jingchen's team: A-Ming and Xiao-Ya. Xiao-Ya was originally Jingchen's colleague, a nurse at the hospital. A-Ming was Xiao-Ya's boyfriend; he secretly came to the hospital before the apocalypse to keep Xiao-Ya company during her night shifts.

Old Jiang lost a friend; he died in battle.

So even though the crisis has temporarily subsided, everyone is still in a bad mood.

The explosion attracted even more zombies to the area.

Just as Han Yu was about to ask Mu Qingyu how to handle this situation, a helicopter suddenly appeared on the open ground covered with burn marks.

"Xiao Rong! Han Yu!" Mu Qingyu did not stop killing zombies, but called out the names of two people.
