Chapter 52

The convoy left the holy city and went to the surrounding cities to see what was happening with the zombies outside.

Jiang Ning leaned against the car window and looked out. They soon discovered something was wrong. Usually there were some scattered zombies between these cities, but now they were all gone.

All we could see were normal humans fleeing towards the holy city.

They randomly stopped a few people. Seeing their behavior, they were so nervous and scared that they dared not disobey. After giving them water and food, they became more friendly.

Qin Xu: "Did you find anything different about the zombies along the way?"

The man who was wolfing down the bread spat out crumbs from his mouth. Jiang Ning grabbed Qin Xu and took two steps back. He was not hungry yet and did not want to eat such a snack.

The man didn't care. He was already going crazy with hunger. "Yes, listen to me. Before, the zombies were always crazy and would bite anyone they found. But last night, they suddenly changed their ways. They all ran towards Huaicheng ahead. I accidentally ran into them, but they didn't bite me."

"Yes, that's right. They haven't cried out yet either."

"Yeah, the zombies I encountered were like this too."

A few more people echoed.

Qin Xu and Jiang Ning exchanged a glance as the car continued to head towards Huaicheng. Inside the car, Jiang Ning felt increasingly uneasy. Previously, the zombies were unorganized and undisciplined, biting whoever they caught. Now, if they were allowed to gather in groups, they would have a boss or some sort of organization.

That's not Barbie Q.

He sighed heavily, and Qin Xu rubbed his head: "What are you thinking about? You are so worried."

Jiang Ning looked at Qin Xu, who seemed to have not changed much. She wished she had the same mentality as him, so she moved over and expressed her concerns.

Qin Xu listened carefully and expressed his own opinion: "Before, they were in that state and it was completely impossible to communicate. Now, although the danger level has increased, we can communicate with them. If we can communicate, we can understand each other's needs and negotiate. Perhaps we can achieve peace through negotiation. It is also possible."

He pinched Jiang Ning's cheek and said, "Don't worry, everything has two sides. Perhaps this zombie mutation is an opportunity for the world to return to normal order."

Jiang Ning felt that what he said made sense and stared at Qin Xu: "You are really smart. Why didn't I think of that?"

He stretched out his hand to grab Qin Xu's head, muttering "grab some IQ out of it", and then put his hand on his forehead: "Send the IQ you grab out to my head."

Even the big brother driving in front was amused by him, not to mention that Qin Xu was once again struck by the cuteness of the little zombie.

Jiang Ning saw his elder brother laughing at him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his elder brother's head again: "Whoever sees it gets a share, grab some from the driver too."

What a social terrorist! He was embarrassed by his big brother and smiled shyly: "Little Boss, please don't arrest me. It will make you even more stupid."

Jiang Ning frowned: This word "更" is very spiritual.

The atmosphere was harmonious. Qin Dacugang was not jealous because Jiang Ning called him "Driver Big Brother" instead of "Driver Brother". Although he still didn't have the nerve to talk to Jiang Ning about it, he was still concerned about who he called "Brother".

But since that night when he called himself Brother Xu, whenever he saw Liao Feng and Meng Hu, he would call them Brother Meng and Brother Liao. The words "Brother" became his exclusive nickname for himself.

The little zombie is a little zombie with heart.

After more than 7 hours, they finally arrived in Huaicheng, but they felt very different even outside the city. There were many people running outside and the noise was quite loud, but there were no zombies chasing them.

But if there were no zombies in the city they wouldn't run away, so the zombies must still be there.

Their convoy became a retrograde team, but in order to avoid being surrounded by the large number of zombies inside, the convoy did not go too deep and could retreat at any time.

It was almost like a deserted city inside. Almost everyone who could run had already run away. There was no one on the streets. There was only the snow from the sunset. No one knew where the zombies were hiding.

They didn't act immediately to give those who were escaping some time.

Jiang Ning was checking the contents of his backpack, including food, water, medicine, bullets, etc., each person had a set in case of any accidents.

But his was a little different. He had a small cake given to him by Qin Xu, a small box of fresh fruits, and chocolate candies. Jiang Ning's eyes rolled around, and he opened the small box of food and picked out a small cherry from it. After secretly eating one himself, he picked up another and fed it to Qin Xu.

Since being the boss always comes with some special treatment, Qin Xu hardly enjoyed this special treatment in terms of food before he met the little zombies. He didn't care much about eating, as long as it was not bad and he could eat his fill.

After the little zombie came, he started to go to the food department to get some fruits and food. Although he didn't get much each time, just an apple and a banana, or a dragon fruit and a grapefruit, it meant that the little zombie had fruit to eat every day.

They have very few fresh fruits that are difficult to preserve.

At 9:00 PM, even outside the city, there were practically no people to be seen. Everyone had already run quite far away. Qin Xu and his team also began to take action. They turned on the loudspeaker, and Jiang Ning's voice came out: "Please ask your boss to come out and talk to us. We have no ill intentions."

He repeated these words over and over again, and in this empty city, his voice was carried to every corner through specially made loudspeakers.

Jiang Ning waited nervously, wondering if the zombie boss would show up.

Time passed minute by minute, snow began to fall from the sky again, and no zombies appeared.

"Why don't you come out yet?"

Jiang Ning was a little restless. He was not as steady as Qin Xu. He turned his head to look at Qin Xu's computer. The city appeared on the computer. The picture kept changing under Qin Xu's control. The detector flying in the air made sensitive high and low turns and sent back clear pictures.

Jiang Ning blinked, left Qin Xu again, and stuck her head out of the car window to look ahead, as if something was coming.

Qin Xu's breathing became heavier, and Jiang Ning hurried back to look at the computer. Finally, she found the zombies. They were walking forward in a huge crowd, one next to the other, in a very orderly manner.

The picture flew over the heads of the zombie team, but there was no end in sight, there were so many zombies.

Jiang Ning took a breath and stuck his head out of the window again. Not only him, but the other team members also felt it, and many of them stretched their heads to look forward.

A dark shadow, darker than black, appeared from the end of the road ahead, blocking the road and getting closer.

There was a slight noise in the car. Jiang Ning turned to look and saw that a small ornament placed by the driver suddenly moved.

It was shocking.

How many zombies are there?

He reached out his hand to Qin Xu and asked, "Should we retreat further?"

He was a little nervous.

Qin Xu raised his eyes and looked forward: "No need."

No matter how much they retreat, they have to stop and talk to these zombies, so it doesn’t matter whether they retreat or not, what matters is where they make these zombies stop.
