The zombies seemed unaffected by vision, rushing out of the bushes and heading straight towards them.
Wei Lang instinctively sensed danger, and he dragged his sister backward quickly in fear, which happened to allow them to avoid the zombies' attack.
The darkness obstructed vision.
Wei Xiyin heard a noise coming from the right side, and while retreating, he raised his knife and chopped again...
The tiger's mouth was numb from the shock. The knife seemed to have hit the monster in front of him, but it did not cause any substantial damage to it. The zombie pounced on him again.
It was extremely fast and seemed to have become exceptionally strong.
Wei Xiyin felt a crisis she had never felt before. She forced herself to calm down, analyzed and listened to the zombies' positions, and quickly dodged to the side the moment the zombies pounced on her.
Wei Xiyin shouted, "Squat down!"
Of course, these words were said to Wei Lang. He always listened to his sister's words and did what she said like a conditioned reflex.
A strong fishy smell came from the front, which was the smell coming from the zombie's mouth.
Wei Xiyin aimed at the right moment and immediately raised the knife to attack in that direction. This time the attack hit the target right on the head.
The zombies fell to the ground with a thud.
The crisis was over, and she pulled Wei Lang up from the ground, panting.
The sound of fighting behind him became weaker and weaker, and there was movement below. It was Chang Ying rushing over.
Chang Ying was the first to discover the body on the ground. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, making him terrified. If anything happened to the girl and Erlang, he would not be able to explain to the head of the family even if he died.
From then on, Chang Ying didn't dare to leave the siblings even for a moment.
Before long, the monsters that were chasing them were eliminated one by one, and the guards behind them arrived one after another. Gradually, the only sounds left in the entire forest were the rapid breathing of the crowd and the rustling of the grass being moved.
Chang Ying seemed to be very familiar with this area. He led the team around in the mountains and found a dilapidated temple deep in the forest. Because they didn't know whether the monsters would follow the fire, no one dared to light a fire after entering the dilapidated temple.
No one dared to speak at this time. For a moment, the team of dozens of people fell silent.
Wei Xiyin rested for a while and was the first to break the silence, "Go find something to block the doors and windows, and then start a fire."
A guard received the order and went outside to cut down a few leafy branches and dragged them back to the temple. He inserted the branches into the gaps of the doors and windows to ensure that no light could penetrate, and then he took out the tinder.
Soon there was light in the temple.
Only then did everyone see clearly that the original army of a hundred people now had less than one-third of them left.
Wei Xiyin's heart suddenly sank.
You have to know that the Wei family spent a lot of money to privately raise these soldiers. This time when she returned home, her father selected the best of the best for her. If even they suffered heavy casualties when facing zombies, how could those ordinary people outside have a chance to survive?
Wei Xiyin's thoughts were swirling, and she closed her eyes sadly.
She calmed herself down a bit, and when she opened her eyes again, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, "Those who are injured, stand up first."
The guards lowered their heads and remained silent, and soon three of them stood up.
"Find some ropes to tie them up first. If you don't have any ropes, strips of cloth or sturdy vines will do." Wei Xiyin said again.
The three guards did not resist. After all, they had just witnessed at the post station that their injured companions who fell to the ground turned into man-eating monsters in the blink of an eye.
The girl was merciful in not ordering them to be killed immediately.
After doing this, Wei Xiyin took Ningshuang to the back of the Buddha statue to avoid suspicion, and asked them to take off their clothes and check each other, and no wounds, no matter how small, were allowed to be concealed.
Even she, Ningshuang, Wei Lang and Chang Ying were no exception.
After checking each other, two more guards were found to have injuries, but the wounds were so minor that they themselves didn't even notice.
Soon, all five people were tied up. The guards used their own outer clothes to tear them into strips and tied them up tightly.
This night was truly thrilling.
Everyone huddled in a small, dilapidated temple and witnessed with their own eyes that four of the five injured people had mutated.
The four men first felt extremely itchy on their bodies, as if countless insects were crawling around. Their bodies were tied up and they could not move. They fell to the ground and kept twisting and rubbing the ground.
Then, their skin began to turn purple, and blue veins slowly climbed up their necks, then spread across their entire faces. Their eye sockets sank, and their eyes gradually became cloudy, covered by the whites of their eyes...
Until the end, he showed his ferocious teeth to everyone and roared like a beast, completely turning into a monster.
This process was extremely horrifying. Even the guards who were used to seeing life and death were frightened and turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch any longer.
Only Wei Xiyin stared intently from beginning to end.
The guard who hadn't mutated knelt in front of Chang Ying, crying, "Commander, I don't want to become a monster like that. Please give me a quick death!"
The guards felt the same way when they saw this scene, and they all looked at Chang Ying at the same time.
Most of them are orphans, raised by the Wei family, and are also personal guards trained by Chang Ying.
If they were to turn into man-eating monsters, they would rather die at the hands of their own people.
Chang Ying clenched the knife in his hand, the veins on his fist bulged, and the expression on his face changed unpredictably, as if he was making some difficult decision.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
"Maybe he was just scratched by a branch when he entered the mountain just now. There is no need to seek death now." Wei Xiyin interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Her voice was neither hurried nor impatient, but calm and powerful, instantly pulling everyone present out of their grief.
The tied-up guard also woke up. Yes, he was the only one who had not mutated. Perhaps it was just as the girl said, he was just accidentally scratched by a branch in the chaos.
