At this moment in the market…
Suddenly, a large number of infected people appeared out of nowhere. They staggered and swayed, and were gathering around Lao Zhang and Fatty from all directions.
However, these infected individuals are clearly different from those encountered before.
They can actually talk!
His voice, low and tinged with a roar, was filled with despair.
"They...they're back..."
"They're back..."
The sound was as if it came from the mouth of a demon from hell. Combined with the infected person's hideous face and bizarre way of walking, it sent chills down one's spine and made one tremble all over.
Yu Bin was covered in blood and had obvious wounds. He was with Lao Zhang, Fatty, and Lu Ren, three hunters from the same group.
He just arrived.
According to Lu Ren, they encountered danger while searching for supplies. A giant mosquito attacked them, and a large number of infected people appeared out of nowhere, constantly yelling and rushing towards them.
Apart from Yu Bin, the others all died in battle.
They died under the enormous mouthparts of mosquitoes, their blood drained, leaving three mummies, which were then devoured by infected people, leaving no bones behind.
What did the infected people mean when they shouted, "They're back"?
Old Zhang hurriedly asked Yu Bin.
Although the infected people were several streets away from Lao Zhang, their shouts were clearly audible due to their sheer number.
"I don't know," Yu Bin gasped for breath. The knife in his hand was even chipped. He didn't know how many infected he had killed during the breakout, but his eyes were bloodshot, and he was clearly in a frenzied state. "These bastards are exceptionally tough, stronger than any infected we've encountered before!"
"Old Zhang, come quick and help me!"
The fat man was currently trying to untie the chains on the other three people, but the chains were too heavy, making the process very difficult.
Upon hearing the news, Lao Zhang hurried over to join him, and Yu Bin, seeing this, followed suit.
"Has Sun Muchen not called Wang Lan and Lu Ren out yet?"
"I don't know." Old Zhang and Fatty were focused on unlocking the device and had no time to think about anything else.
As the infected figure drew closer, Yu Bin began to panic. "Get up!"
He shouted at Old Zhang and Fatty, then raised his broadsword and slashed fiercely at the chains.
With a "crash," the chain snapped.
The three were liberated.
Yu Bin hurriedly said, "Everyone, pack your bags, grab your gear, and get ready for battle!"
The infected were getting closer and closer; they could even see Yu Bin and the others. Their craving for live, fresh meat made them incredibly excited, and their steps grew longer and faster as they moved forward.
"They're here..."
"They're back..."
"We are their slaves..."
Terrifying roars echoed through the blood-stained market, reaching everyone's ears and creating a suffocating sense of dread in this dark, apocalyptic world.
The infected individuals this time are different from those in the past.
Because at this distance, we can now clearly see the appearance of the infected people; most of their skin is dark red, but some is grayish-white.
The dark red infected person looked as if a layer of skin had been peeled off, leaving only the flesh beneath the skin, and the black blood vessels could still be faintly seen all over their body.
The gray-white infected look like the dark red infected who have faded after a long period of exposure, but their physical condition must be stronger than that of the dark red infected, because they are faster and look more ferocious.
They gathered from all directions. In this desperate struggle, to survive, they had to fight their way out.
Yu Bin's body was trembling. Looking at the infected charging forward, he felt his blood surging.
"You're shaking."
Suddenly a voice came from inside the house.
The group was startled and turned to look. It was Wang Lan and Sun Muchen who came out.
Wang Lan looked at Yu Bin and said, "Are you too nervous, or too scared?"
Yu Bin sneered, "I was just too excited!"
“That’s tension too.” Wang Lan glanced at the three members of Lu Ren’s group again, then looked back at the infected charging forward with screams. “They seem to have gotten stronger…”
Old Zhang noticed the semi-automatic rifle in Sun Muchen's hand and exclaimed in surprise, "That's a gun?"
“Yes,” Wang Lan nodded in agreement, then tossed Lu Ren’s iron rod to the fat man. “Let’s talk about these things after we survive.”
He drew out the Vajra Umbrella and held it in his hand.
Yu Bin glanced at him and said, "Aim for a breakthrough in one direction, don't get bogged down in battle."
Wang Lan nodded and looked at Sun Muchen, "Stay close to me, and use your bullets sparingly."
The infected person roared and charged forward!
The group of people were trembling as they rushed toward the infected.
This battle of 8 against countless others immediately entered a heated phase.
Wang Lan and Yu Bin led the way.
The Vajra Umbrella danced wildly amidst the infected's roars, its immense power seemingly cleaving through the air, emitting a whooshing sound as it slammed fiercely into the infected, the sounds of bangs echoing endlessly.
Yu Bin swung his broadsword horizontally and vertically, unstoppable, each strike hitting the infected's head, the viscous red and white liquid splattering onto the blade.
Sun Muchen and his group followed closely behind, finishing off Wang Lan as he went.
However, the number of infected people is simply too large to kill them all. Often, just as a bloody path is carved out, it is blocked by swarms of infected people.
Yu Bin shouted, "This won't work!"
Even someone as strong as him was now panting heavily, and even felt somewhat powerless. Several times he was almost bitten by the infected.
Wang Lan also noticed Yu Bin's unusual behavior. He didn't expect that Yu Bin would show signs of weakness so early in the game. It was probably because the previous battle was too intense. After all, all three hunters had died, and it was inevitable that Yu Bin would be exhausted.
Wang Lan immediately began to think about how to break through the encirclement, but at this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind. However, no one turned around to look. The situation was critical, and the slightest lapse in concentration would mean certain death. But they were all very clear about what had happened.
Someone was bitten by an infected person!
Immediately afterwards, another scream rang out!
"Fatty!"
Wang Lan shouted, "Throw them out!"
The fat man immediately understood, and with a swift chop of his iron rod, he struck the two infected hunters. At the same time, he and Old Zhang each kicked them away.
Wang Lan fought his way out with all his might, then opened his Vajra Umbrella. The umbrella leaves danced and spun, sharp as saw blades, and blocked his way.
"Yu Bin, please help me!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Bin came to Wang Lan's side without saying a word, and together they grasped the handle of the Vajra Umbrella. They then spun it rapidly, and the umbrella blades spun even faster, making a "whooshing" sound as they cleaved the infected who were rushing forward from both sides.
