The two little ones were short, so their attention spans differed from Jiang Wan's. While Jiang Wan was watching Cheng Zhen arguing heatedly about something, the two little ones were in a tent next to the arguing crowd.
There were five people sitting there, their faces and bodies covered in blood, which had congealed into a dark red color. Combined with their deathly pale faces, dazed expressions, and blank eyes, they looked incredibly strange.
At that moment, they saw one of the people suddenly stand up, his body stiff, his posture strange, his eyes bloodshot, and he suddenly pulled off the oxygen mask on his face, lunging at the nearest person, opening his blood-red mouth, grabbing that person and about to bite down on his neck!
This person has mutated!
Jiang Xiaoxin's scream alerted everyone, but it was too late; the person who had been grabbed was about to have their neck bitten through!
Just then, Jiang Xiaoshu suddenly focused his mind and used his purification ability. He was about ten meters away from that side, something he couldn't have done before.
But now, he's done it!
The mutant's teeth stopped a centimeter away from the man's neck. Suddenly, he stopped, dropped his prey, turned his face as if sensing something, stared at Jiang Wan and the other two for a few seconds, and then made a loud noise in his throat, heading straight for them!
"Run! Get in the car!" Cheng Zhen shouted, leaping behind them to block the mutants from attacking them.
At this moment, he was filled with regret, unable to imagine what would have happened to him and his mother if he had been a step slower, or if the mutant had acted a step faster!
His purification ability could only maintain a large encirclement, keeping all the mutated plants out and suppressing their attacks within the encirclement. However, he could no longer spare any more purification ability to deal with these suddenly mutated mutants!
fortunately!
Fortunately, there's Jiang Xiaoshu!
Fortunately, he has talent! In just a few days, he has expanded his control from one meter around himself to ten meters!
As expected of Cheng Zhen's child, well done!
Jiang Wan immediately picked up the two children and turned to run, but the mutant seemed to have its eyes on them, no, it had its eyes on Jiang Xiaoshu, and kept chasing after them.
Cheng Zhen initially held back, after all, these were his former brothers. But after several exchanges, he discovered that the other party had long since lost his normal life. He grasped the other party's pulse, but there was no pulse. Upon closer inspection, he found that the other party was not even breathing!
This person is dead; now he's a complete zombie!
Without hesitation, he quickly grabbed her head with both hands, rolled over and wrapped his legs around her upper body, and twisted his head apart with force.
Jiang Wan tightly covered the twins' eyes and led them back to the RV.
Outside, Cheng Zhen roared, "Did you see that? It's a zombie!"
Everyone fell silent, staring at him without uttering a word.
His face was grim, his aura cold. He strode toward the tent, where four people were still there. They had all been bitten by the pair of mummified zombies that had mutated earlier. They were all in a daze, staring in terror at their comrades who had turned into zombies and died not far away.
As Cheng Zhen stood before them, exuding murderous intent, the four of them trembled as if death had descended and they had no chance of survival!
One of them was trembling all over, and finally couldn't hold back anymore. He knelt down on the ground and cried out, "Help! Help! Save me! I don't want to die! I have an elderly mother at home, and I want to go back to my hometown! Please save me, Captain!"
His words moved many people.
Many of them were young people who left their hometowns to join the army. When the oxygen-deprived apocalypse suddenly arrived, they didn't even know if their parents, brothers and sisters back home were still alive!
They didn't want to die!
He didn't want to watch his former best friend be killed innocently, which is why the argument and fight happened earlier.
But now, the person they wanted to protect had really mutated into a zombie, and they were all panicked. Seeing their good brother kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, each of them felt as if their hearts were being cut apart!
Cheng Zhen was also feeling uneasy. He knew that the four people were still alive, but he wasn't sure if they would turn into zombies like the person from before.
However, if even one of them mutates, it will be a disaster for all of them in this outlying force!
He dared not gamble, nor could he afford to!
He gritted his teeth and suddenly a lightsaber appeared in his hand. The lightsaber was sharp, and sending them on their way would make their suffering less!
"Wait!" Pingjiang suddenly called out just as he was about to bring his sword down.
He was also the one who had just tried his best to prevent the four bitten wounded soldiers from being killed on the spot. It was because of his support that this group of city guards split into two factions and started fighting.
Cheng Zhen, his face grim, didn't even glance at him. He raised his hand to strike, but the lightsaber stopped above the man's head.
But Pingjiang stood in front of Cheng Zhen, blocking the lightsaber. He was expressionless and said, word by word, "The four of them are different from him."
He pointed to the comrade who had already mutated and died, "His throat was bitten open, and he was already dying from blood loss. Maybe he mutated after he died?"
"But they're all still alive!"
"Aren't you digging up some kind of antiviral herb? Why don't you give it to them to try? If it works, great! If it doesn't, you can kill them then!"
Cheng Zhen's chest heaved with anger: "Damn it! What time is it?! Pingjiang, I never knew you could be so soft-hearted!"
“They’re all my brothers.” Pingjiang’s face was expressionless, showing no sign of yielding an inch.
Cheng Zhen gritted his teeth, his gaze deep, and held up his lightsaber to confront him.
In the end, Zhang Yu spoke up: "What if the medicine doesn't work and they suddenly mutate?"
"Then tie them all up! If any mutations are detected, kill them!"
Cheng Zhen laughed in exasperation!
He sheathed his lightsaber and walked away without looking back, then called out to Yu Fen, "Tell all our brothers to get out and stay away from them!"
This is treating them all like mutated zombies, keeping them at a distance.
Pingjiang remained expressionless, clenching his fists. Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Actually, I think he's right."
Cheng Zhen first helped harvest a field of wheat to vent his anger. Seeing that there was more and more to harvest, he opened the portal to send it to the camp.
After a period of busy work that numbed him, he finally used two crystals to rest and unconsciously walked to the vicinity of the RV.
Jiang Wan opened the door and came out: "Do you think the person who was bitten is beyond saving?"
Cheng Zhen didn't want to hide it from her; it was his intuition, so he nodded.
"In an apocalyptic world lacking oxygen, nothing can be explained by common sense."
