The deafening roar of thunder echoed through the market, and the sound was amplified countless times, especially in the quiet and deserted atmosphere.
Old Zhang and Fatty survived the ordeal.
Just as the infected man's teeth were about to bite down on Old Zhang's leg, the fat man reacted quickly, pulled out a bomb, and shoved it into Old Zhang's mouth.
Old Zhang was thus spared from disaster.
Although the infected person's bite force is strong, the bomb is a metal product after all, and its outer iron sheet is extremely hard. No matter how hard the infected person bites, they can't break the bomb.
At that moment, the fat man lit the fuse. A few seconds later, the bomb exploded, blowing the infected man's head to smithereens. But at the same time, the explosion also attracted other infected people in the market.
On their way to find Wang Lan.
An infected person staggered out of a shop, a piece of meat dangling from his mouth. The sight frightened the two people, who turned pale and quickly turned around. Then they saw another infected person.
Then, more and more infected people gathered there.
Now they are completely surrounded and attacked from both sides. One infected person almost killed them, let alone now there are a bunch of infected people.
A strong, fishy stench filled the air.
Old Zhang and Fatty were completely desperate.
They exchanged a glance, then cursed Wang Lan in their hearts, calling him selfish and disregarding their alliance.
But then a sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out.
The two looked both surprised and delighted, and turned their heads away.
The sound of flesh and bone being pierced rang in their ears; it was the Vajra Umbrella that flew in and pierced the infected person's head, pinning the infected person to the ground.
Old Zhang was overjoyed, "Wang Lan! You've finally arrived!"
Wang Lan walked over, stepping on the infected's head, and pulled out the Vajra Umbrella with a puzzled look. "Finally? Did you think I would abandon my allies?"
"How is that possible!"
The fat man said, "We believe in your character!"
Old Zhang noticed the two cloth bags that Wang Lan was carrying, which were full of things.
He suddenly realized what had happened. He remembered the appearance of the infected person from earlier. It seemed to be the owner of a shop. So this kid was taking advantage of the chaos to steal things!
They could have left after stealing the items, so why did they come back to save them?
Old Zhang couldn't figure it out.
But the infected were clearly impatient; they opened their mouths wide and rushed toward Wang Lan from all directions.
Wang Lan's heart stirred, and he raised the Vajra Umbrella to meet the attacker.
With a "whoosh," the Vajra Umbrella began to flutter.
At the same time, the steel-framed iron blades opened as they were being waved, and Wang Lan bent down slightly, holding the umbrella in both hands as it swept across in front of him.
The infected running ahead had their heads severed instantly by the sharp umbrella blades, and Wang Lan didn't have time to look at the headless corpses lying on the ground. She immediately closed the umbrella, changed from using both hands to one hand, and smashed it hard at the heads of the remaining infected.
The sounds of "Bang! Bang! Bang!" were incessant as the Vajra Umbrella danced in the wind, smashing the heads of the infected to pieces wherever it passed.
Old Zhang and Fatty were both stunned.
The infected that filled them with despair became so vulnerable in Wang Lan's hands!
In no time, he had taken care of all the infected people.
The Vajra Umbrella was then stained black by the blood of the infected.
Old Zhang ran over at that moment, and without saying a word, he took out a bomb, disassembled it, and poured all the gunpowder onto the Vajra Umbrella. Wang Lan was stunned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Old Zhang explained, "Disinfection is necessary because this infectious virus is too virulent. Just to be on the safe side, it's best to disinfect it as soon as possible."
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Lan realized that there was some truth to what he said, so she didn't stop Lao Zhang and let him do the so-called disinfection work.
Old Zhang looked serious as he evenly sprinkled gunpowder onto the Vajra Umbrella. Then he lit a match, and the gunpowder burned intensely on the umbrella, but the flames died down in an instant, leaving only a pungent odor.
"Okay, that's all right now."
Wang Lan slung the dark Vajra Umbrella over his back. "We have to get going. The infected smell much stronger than ordinary people, which will definitely alert the corpse-pecking birds. If we don't leave now, we'll easily be eaten by them!"
Upon hearing the name "corpse-pecking bird," both Old Zhang and Fatty felt a chill run down their spines, and their faces showed signs of distress.
Looking at the two of them, Wang Lan asked, "What's wrong?"
Old Zhang asked, "Can we go to your house?"
The fat man nodded and said, "For the sake of our allies, this market is too dangerous. Putting aside the infected, once the corpse-pecking birds arrive, it's hard to guarantee they won't kill indiscriminately."
"sure."
Unexpectedly, Wang Lan laughed generously and said, "Who told us to be allies!"
Upon hearing these words, the two were immediately moved.
Not long after they left, as the smell of the corpses grew stronger, a large flock of corpse-pecking birds flew in from the sky and landed next to the infected.
The aroma of the rotting flesh made the carcass birds salivate; it was the best delicacy in their eyes, and they immediately surrounded it and began to feast.
The sound of flesh tearing, the sound of tendons snapping...
The various sounds mixed together made one's scalp tingle...
Then the first carnivorous bird to eat the carcass froze.
His pupils then gradually dilated and he blinked incessantly.
After blinking countless times, the moment I opened my eyes…
All that was left was a vast expanse of white!
...
…
Sun Muchen was still at home waiting for Wang Lan to return.
Because Wang Lan set learning goals for her before leaving home this morning.
We should not only focus on humanities subjects, but also on science subjects.
Arts and sciences are not separated.
The focus is on biology.
Continue studying until Wang Lan goes home; there will be a check upon her return.
However, science is obscure and difficult to understand, and biology is even more incomprehensible.
Sun Muchen was so engrossed in studying that he felt dizzy and disoriented.
But I still have to bite the bullet and learn.
Because Wang Lan needs to check.
Having flipped through the book countless times, Sun Muchen sighed heavily and opened it once more.
She heard Wang Lan's voice.
"Mu Chen, I'm back!"
Sun Muchen shuddered, then her face turned bitter, because she knew that this meant Wang Lan had retrieved the biology book, and he would have to throw himself into arduous studies again.
But as the door opened, a flurry of footsteps filled the air.
Sun Muchen was taken aback, wondering if there was someone else involved?
So they went out of the house, only to find Old Zhang and Fatty following closely behind. As soon as the three of them entered the house, they dumped all the sacks, big and small, that they were carrying on the ground. The number of sacks piled up into a small mountain!
Sun Muchen was immediately shocked, "Brother, you guys went on a robbery!"
She knelt down and untied the sack, revealing it filled with medicine and food. There were all kinds of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, black bread, large biscuits, and other food items.
As the group was about to leave the market, Wang Lan, unwilling to give up, and adhering to the belief that fortune favors the bold, led the two in another round of theft and robbery.
They only stopped when they heard the pecking of corpse birds in the sky getting louder and louder.
