Chapter 12: Mutated Monkeys
The night is always full of dangers.
Although Xuanyunduo had become a zombie, she still felt sleepy for some reason. She had been able to hold out for the past ten days, but now she began to feel sleepy. So after they finished dinner, she put away the thermos cups and found a place to lie down and take a nap.
The survivors in the factory did the same after dinner. Like her, they found a place to rest on the spot, but no one was alone. They almost all stayed in groups.
Wang Weihu and Bai Shu were resting, while Qin Luo and Chen Xiaofei were on duty first. The two of them would guard the first half of the night, while Wang Weihu and Bai Shu would guard the second half.
The thunderstorm outside had passed, and heavy rain began to fall, mixed with hail, which hit the factory building with a crackling sound, and occasionally the sound was quite loud.
But the survivors all felt reassured, at least someone was protecting them.
You can have a good sleep.
All we can say is that they were too naive. After nightfall, Qin Luo and Chen Xiaofei became noticeably more alert, and they no longer bickered or chatted randomly.
Xuanyunduo could also sense their tense mental state, so she guessed that it would be very unsafe at night and did not dare to fall asleep.
The little zombie closed his eyes and was recuperating.
Wang Weihu was snoring not far away, while Bai Shu next to him was sleeping soundly against the wall.
Chen Xiaofei was walking around on guard, and Qin Luo found a central point and sat on the container to load magazines. From his position, he could take care of anything in time.
Because of the thunderstorm, the power in the factory was cut off in front, leaving only dim emergency lights.
Xuanyunduo originally thought that the initial threat came from other things, perhaps zombies or some other mutated creatures, but she didn't expect that it started from the survivors. As soon as an abnormal roar was heard from there, a gunshot rang out across the quiet night, followed by screams.
“Ahhh!! It wants to bite me to death! Why are there still zombies!!”
"What? There are zombies??"
Before this, the survivors looked no different from ordinary people, and they were checked repeatedly before getting on the bus. Those without wounds were allowed to get on the bus and go to the survivor base.
But there are always some minor wounds that are overlooked, and some people will cover up their physical discomfort, hoping that nothing will happen to them.
The result is that zombies bite people, and zombies are much more flexible at night than during the day.
The survivors were in a panic.
"Stop making noise. Anyone who has a fever or is feeling unwell, please stand up now."
Qin Luo put away his gun and jumped directly from the container. He looked around at the survivors. They also found that some of their people were infected with the zombie virus, so they scattered in fear and dared not gather in groups anymore.
Chen Xiaofei's baby face also turned serious. He walked over and explained, "In the early stages of infection with the zombie virus, people's thinking becomes slow, their limbs become stiff, or they have a low-grade fever and bleeding in the throat. At night, they will have thoughts of blood and raw meat. Comrades who feel unwell now, please stand up, otherwise you will hurt your companions."
The survivors looked at each other, some were terrified, some hesitated, some bit their lips and clenched their fists, and finally three of them came out one after another.
There were also women who pulled their husbands to signal him not to go out, crying and shaking their heads and whispering, "Don't go out, you just have a fever, you're not infected with the zombie virus, I beg you not to go out, you're the only one I have."
When other people saw this, some immediately distanced themselves from the couple, while others just couldn't bear to look at them any longer.
Chen Xiaofei was already walking towards them. The woman was almost on the verge of collapse and held on to her husband refusing to let go, while the man was worried about hurting his wife.
This requires good relief work.
Qin Luo asked those who were sick to stay in a corner alone. He could see that their eyes had begun to become dull, they were a little anxious, and their skin began to turn pale.
Xuanyunduo couldn't help but stick her head out to take a look. She also found that her body was more flexible at night than during the day. As a result, Qin Luo's perception was too sharp. As soon as she stuck her head out, she met his calm and careful eyes...
Scared the corpse! !
Her mind froze for a second. Just by looking at this look, she knew that if she did anything to hurt them, she would most likely be shot to death, and even her spatial ability would be useless at that time.
What is even more terrifying is that zombies that can hurt people have superpowers.
Fortunately, her eyes were clean and pure enough. Qin Luo calmed down after taking a look at her. He was no longer cold. Instead, he tilted his head to signal her to stay away and not look at him blindly.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Xuanyunduo silently shrank back, hugging herself tightly, wishing she could tuck herself into the gap. She was even a little scared and almost lost her life.
After a commotion among the survivors, they were finally able to separate into two groups. However, because they did not expect the virus to have a latent nature, people no longer dared to gather in groups rashly.
Soon the surroundings became quiet again, but several gunshots were heard in the second half of the night, occasionally mixed with people's panic. The few infected survivors were still gone, and the others couldn't help crying again.
They thought they were safe, but it turned out not to be as safe as they imagined.
Xuanyunduo shivered several times when she heard the gunshot. She was so scared that her heart almost stopped beating. Later, she found out that she was just too nervous.
What was beating was not the heartbeat, but the nerves. The subsequent accident happened to the woman. Her husband had tried very hard to endure, but unfortunately he could not escape the virus. His whole person had begun to mutate. When Chen Xiaofei raised the gun, the woman began to scream and wanted to pounce.
The shrill screams made people's scalps numb. Suddenly, there were bursts of screams outside the factory. The tones were extremely sharp and echoed one after another. Someone shouted in fear: "Ah, why are there monkeys!!"
The factory was in complete chaos.
Wang Weihu and Bai Shu also woke up. They turned over almost without stopping and looked directly towards the place where the noise came from.
The gate kept being banged on by something, and there was also the sound of claws scratching at the iron sheets above the factory building. The creaking noise was so frightening that it made your scalp numb.
When Xuanyunduo looked up again, she found that the window had been broken by a monkey with a stone. She was facing the face of a monkey, or it could no longer be called a monkey. The face of this creature was extremely ferocious, its teeth had become enlarged, its eyes were bloodshot, and its claws were longer than anything else and very sharp.
The other survivors naturally discovered it as well, and after seeing it, they burst into ear-piercing screams.
no way.
We are all ordinary people, it is impossible not to be afraid, and it is basically a subconscious reaction.
As a result, the mutant monkeys were excited when they heard the screams and also screamed excitedly.
Wang Weihu yelled at the survivors to be quiet, "Everyone, find a place to hide together. If you stand too far apart, we won't be able to protect you all!"
As he spoke, he had already shot and killed several of them. Bai Shu then took direct action, dragging them one by one and throwing them aside, driving the survivors to one place.
Chen Xiaofei also rushed over to help Bai Shu protect the survivors, while Wang Weihu helped to clean up the mutant monkeys. "Damn it, how could we encounter such a difficult thing!"
As for Qin Luo, he was killing monkeys alone. He simply changed to a double-edged knife. His speed was much faster than the monkeys' reaction. He could kill several of them with one slash. The ground was covered with wet blood.
