These animals…
He got infected too?!
A feeling of terror instantly surged into my heart.
As they gaze at the animals, the animals gaze back at them!
then…
The infected animals suddenly pounced on them!
The livestock fence immediately came into play, stopping the animals, but they became even more aggressive, charging at the barbed wire and their low growls turned into frenzied howls, as if they wanted to vent their anger at their companion being crushed to death on the two of them.
This almost insane act startled the two of them, causing them to stumble and fall to the ground.
Old Zhang was sweating profusely. "Is Murphy's Law really that accurate? They mutated the moment their clothes were taken off?"
Wang Lan: "???"
Does this have anything to do with you?
Old Zhang patted his chest, "Luckily I didn't rush in, otherwise they would have devoured me alive. Damn it, how did these things get infected too?"
Wang Lan was also full of questions. He wondered, if all these animals were infected, why was that person who went in just now safe and sound?
Furthermore, why did these infected animals show such deep fear of the person they had just met?
Everyone should be treated equally after being infected!
Just as Wang Lan was complaining, the animals in the ranch were becoming increasingly aggressive, even to the point of being seriously morbid, relentlessly ramming against the fence.
Old Zhang was shocked and pointed forward, "Oh no, Wang Lan, look!"
Wang Lan quickly glanced to the side and saw that, under the constant impact of these animals, the gaps in the fence were getting bigger and bigger, and the wires could not withstand the pressure, breaking one after another.
Some animals even opened their mouths and tore at the wire.
A sudden, bold idea popped into Wang Lan's mind: was it possible that the gap itself was made by infected animals?
Once the idea appeared, it wouldn't leave him. The more Wang Lan thought about it, the deeper it became. In just a moment, he came up with a bold guess!
Could it be...
The so-called infectious virus actually originated from livestock farms!
It was because the animals on the farm were the first to get infected and lost their minds that they bit through the wire and ran away, subsequently infecting the civilians in the safe zone, and then the outbreak began!
The culprit behind all of this is the final fortress!
Its purpose is to significantly increase the danger level of the eternal night by releasing a contagious virus when the eternal night arrives. On the one hand, it is to integrate and clean up the resources in the safe zone and completely eliminate useless personnel. On the other hand, it is to select the last batch of people to live in the final fortress!
Wang Lan suddenly shivered, and an inexplicable sense of palpitation welled up in her heart.
He couldn't think any further.
Old Zhang's voice rang out at that moment, "It's bad, Wang Lan, that barbed wire isn't enough to stop them!"
As he turned his head, he saw that Wang Lan had already turned and run away, shouting as she ran, "You know it's bad, why aren't you running? Do you think your brain is phlegm? Damn it!"
Old Zhang: "(?''?''??)?"
With a "rip," the fence was completely torn open, and the infected animals in the farm rushed out like madmen. Old Zhang turned pale and ran away.
Running is an animal's forte, and they are indeed faster. As the distance was gradually closed, Old Zhang felt his scalp tingle and cursed under his breath.
Why didn't you give yourself more legs?
Wang Lan also turned around and immediately noticed Old Zhang, who was in danger and being relentlessly chased by chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and cats behind him.
At the same time, Lao Zhang saw him, and the two locked eyes. Lao Zhang immediately shouted for help!
Wang Lan was soft-hearted; he simply couldn't bear to see his allies die in such a bloody scene.
then……
"Ghost Step skill!"
"Activate!"
[Increases movement speed by 20 points for 5 minutes (Cooldown: 24 hours)]
He ran even faster in a flash.
Old Zhang: "!!!"
"I'll fuck your mother!"
He shouted, pulled a grenade from his bag, lit it, and threw it behind him. A few seconds later, he heard a loud bang, followed by the whimpering cries of the animals.
But Lao Zhang had no heart to celebrate, because the explosion seemed to have only made them angrier.
Their running speed increased significantly.
Old Zhang was on the verge of tears, a gloomy atmosphere of despair hanging over him. But just then, he suddenly saw Wang Lan return and quickly pass by him.
This man, as swift as the wind, dispelled the gloom like the dawn.
Wang Lan knew very well that as long as he kept running, the animals would keep chasing him. This was the hunting instinct inherent in their nature, and they also had the advantage of natural long-distance running, plus the amplification after infection.
So trying to outrun the animals is basically a pipe dream.
While the "Ghost Step" skill can temporarily create distance between you and animals, once the skill ends and fatigue sets in, it's only a matter of time before you get caught.
Instead of that, it would be better to confront them head-on in a war between humans and beasts.
Old Zhang stopped in his tracks.
Seeing Wang Lan charging straight towards the animal group, waving his Vajra Umbrella with an indomitable spirit, the sharp tip of the umbrella pointed at the animals. He pressed the mechanism, and the umbrella leaves opened with a "bang".
He stamped his feet and bent his knees, gripping the umbrella handle tightly with both arms.
The animals swarmed forward, with the vanguard crashing directly into the Vajra Umbrella, and the rest following suit, instantly forming a dense, crowded mass.
But the force generated by the constant collisions was astonishing. Wang Lan gritted his teeth and held on tightly to the Vajra Umbrella, but his body was constantly forced backward. He opened his mouth and shouted.
"A thunderclap!"
Old Zhang reacted immediately, lit the bomb and threw it out, which landed right in the middle of the crowded animal group!
After a deafening roar, a small mushroom cloud rose into the air, and shattered pieces of iron shot out in all directions. The powerful impact sent the animals flying into the sky.
Wang Lan withstood the impact, and suddenly felt the pressure from the umbrella leaves decrease sharply. He then closed the umbrella, switched to holding it with one hand, and smashed it hard against the heads of several animals lying on the ground next to him.
He already knew that, regardless of the species, once infected, the only way to completely kill them was by shooting them in the head!
Using the speed gained from the "ghost step," and before the animals could recover from the explosion, Wang Lan delivered a precise strike, smashing it hard against their heads.
But suddenly he felt his body sink!
The ghost step effect is over!
Coupled with the exertion of running just now, fatigue struck in an instant, and Wang Lan stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Woof! Woof!"
A dog barked from behind.
Wang Lan gritted his teeth and hurriedly turned around, only to see a mad dog with a bloody face and its abdomen blown apart, dragging its intestines as it lunged at him.
He instinctively reached out his hand.
And the dog bit his arm!
Upon seeing this, Old Zhang gasped in shock.
"Wang...Wang Lan!!!"
