Chapter 191 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse 21

"Ugh—!"

A bloodcurdling scream rang out, sending chills down one's spine. Half an arm, still gushing blood, lay on the ground.

The man's face turned deathly pale, as white as paper, and he was drenched in cold sweat. Enduring the excruciating pain, he pointed to the severed arm on the ground with his remaining arm and pleaded with the crowd for mercy.

"It's been treated; I've already removed the bite wound."

I was only bitten a moment ago, the infection hasn't spread throughout my body yet. Please let me go, I don't want to die. I won't turn into a monster now.

This scene shocked everyone. This was another ruthless person who dared to cut off his own entire arm. If he dared to cut himself, then he would certainly dare to kill them.

Chen Juan, whose neck was bitten through, clearly had no chance of being saved.

She lay on the ground, her breath faint, her eyes unfocused, and she was muttering something unconsciously.

"Save, save my son."

But no one dared to step forward. Everyone was stunned by what had just happened. After a moment of silence, someone made the first move, and a brick hit her on the head.

Since it's already been bitten like this, there's no way to save it. And a neck isn't like an arm, which can be cut off directly; once the neck is cut off, it's gone.

Then, more blows came down until she was completely silent. Before Chen Juan could turn into a zombie, she was smashed to pieces, her whole body smashed into pieces of minced meat.

In this situation, even if it mutates, it will only be a piece of zombie that cannot pose a threat at all.

On the other side, several people had already surrounded Chen Kangkang, who was still roaring and trying to bite people.

Bricks and sticks rained down on his head, but Chen Kangkang, now a zombie, felt no pain and continued to bar his teeth and claws, trying to bite people.

But how could a zombie withstand the attack of more than a dozen people? Soon his skull was smashed, and his brains splattered out, red and white pieces scattered on the ground, somewhat like tofu pudding.

In the end, the horrible face was smashed to pieces, and the zombie collapsed to the ground, unable to move any longer. The humans had killed two zombies.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief after finally resolving the crisis, still shaken, Grandpa Li's daughter-in-law, who had been hiding behind the crowd, suddenly broke down.

She stepped forward and gave Grandpa Li a push, shoving him towards the zombies, his clothes getting stained with some blood.

"It was him! He ate people first! If we're going to kill zombies, we should kill him first!"

There was no food at home, so he killed and ate my husband and his own son!

He's not human, he's a devil! A devil!!

Why didn't you push it earlier, and waited until all the zombies were killed before pushing it over? What's the point now? You should have pushed it over while Chen Kangkang was biting someone; they might not have been a match for him then.

Everyone was confused by these words. When they turned around, they saw that the woman's face was covered in tears and snot. She thought that everyone could stand up for her.

She pulled open her collar, revealing faint purplish-blue marks on her neck from being pinched.

"He spared my life because... because he wanted me..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but seeing these marks and hearing what she said, everyone seemed to understand that the relationship between the two had changed.

All eyes instantly turned to Grandpa Li, their eyes filled with shock. No wonder he was so decisive and ruthless when he suggested getting rid of the Chen family; it turned out he had already killed people himself.

As long as everyone has blood on their hands, even if order is restored, everyone will keep it a secret from each other; only those who are in the same boat can keep it a secret.

Grandpa Li's face changed, and he was about to make some excuse when his emotionally distraught daughter-in-law suddenly found the strength to shove him hard from behind.

They pushed Grandpa Li directly onto the corpse of Chen Kangkang, who had just been knocked down and was still twitching slightly!

"Go to hell! You old beast!"

Caught off guard, Grandpa Li fell on top of Chen Kangkang.

Although Chen Kangkang's head was already split open, the remaining nerve reflexes, possibly the virus's instinct, made him suddenly raise his arm and hook it onto Grandpa Li's clothes.

"Ahhhh! Get away!" Grandpa Li was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his skin and tried to get up on all fours.

But everyone around watched coldly, and no one offered to help. Just a moment ago, they had believed what this person said, but then someone shouted something.

"He's eaten people! Who knows if he's even human anymore! He can't be allowed to live!"

"Exactly, I heard that eating a human can cause infection with some kind of virus. What if he mutates too?"

People who had just experienced being eaten by zombies were already quite frightened, and their nerves were still on high alert. Anything could trigger an overreaction from them.

This time, someone started it, and sticks and bricks were raised again and hit Grandpa Li hard. Chen Kangkang's father hit him the hardest.

Screams, curses, and pleas for mercy were all mixed together and could not be heard at all.

After the chaos, a group of people sat slumped on the ground.

Chen Kangkang's father, with a broken arm and a deathly pale face, and Li's daughter-in-law, who was in a daze, crying and laughing at the same time, were among the three fresh corpses on the ground: Chen Juan, Chen Kangkang, and Li.

This time, they weren't killing zombies, but real people.

Shen Ci stepped on the gas and sped away. With order broken and civilization gone, people would only become more and more adept and accustomed to killing people and zombies.

Zombies have indeed appeared.

If I'm not mistaken, the source is definitely not a single individual's infection, but rather the combined effect of the corpses that existed in the city before and the rainwater, which means it will be very difficult to clean up.

The first one has appeared here, so what about elsewhere?

She glanced at Da Bao, who was still in shock but clutching his camera tightly in the passenger seat, and pressed the accelerator even harder.

We must return to the safe house as soon as possible. The outside world has become even more dangerous. We must be wary not only of zombies but also of our own kind.

More importantly, the child shouldn't be frightened, lest he lose his soul. We need to hurry back and make him a bowl of chicken soup to nourish him.

On the way back, there were still very few people. Survivors in the city came out to look for supplies. It seemed that the zombie outbreak had not yet fully occurred, but Shen Ci and Da Bao still encountered two.

The timeline is consistent; the zombies are currently in the early stages of mutation. One zombie's eyeball has popped out, its body is convulsing, and its limbs are twisting.

With no one else around, Shen Ci took out a baseball bat from the trunk and began practicing with the zombie. He had been training for so long but had never had a chance to use it in a real fight.

After the experiment, the zombie was eventually blown apart by Shen Ci's head. The head exploded, and there was nothing inside except brain matter. The zombie had not yet developed to the later stage where crystal cores would appear in its body.

Later, once the zombie mutation is complete, crystal cores will appear in their bodies. At that time, human mutations will also begin to appear, and the way to enhance superpowers is by using crystal cores.

Da Bao's special ability space is an exception, but it still requires a crystal core to upgrade.
