Chapter 218 Sudden Change
"Husband!" Lu's mother cried out in alarm, trying to pull him away, but she was squeezed by the surging zombies and could hardly protect herself.
Mr. Lu was old, and the fall was quite severe. To make matters worse, in the chaos, someone's foot stepped on his calf in a panic, causing him excruciating pain that made him turn pale instantly. He couldn't stand up, let alone move quickly.
"Protect Mr. Lu!"
The superhuman roared and swung his metal rod to smash the head of a zombie, trying to rush over to its rescue.
But once the breach was opened, zombies poured in like a flood breaking through a dam.
The two superhumans fought desperately, sending fireballs and earth spikes flying, temporarily clearing a small area of land.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu's mother tried her best to help her husband up, but his injured leg could not support him, and the two moved very slowly.
Because of this delay, the four of them were actually cut off from the main group by the frenzied horde of corpses.
More zombies, sensing the presence of living people, poured out from the wilderness on both sides of the road and behind abandoned vehicles, surrounding them layer by layer!
They drifted further and further away from the main group, surrounded by hideous, rotting faces and waving claws.
The two superhumans stood back to back, protecting the two elders in the middle. They were covered in sweat, their superhuman abilities were being used up, and their defensive circle was constantly shrinking.
Looking at this desperate scene, and then at his own injured leg that he could hardly move, a resolute glint flashed in Lu's father's eyes.
He forcefully shoved away his wife, who was supporting him, and yelled at the two superhumans, "Don't worry about me! You two protect her! Charge out! Every one of us who survives is a life saved!"
Lu's mother stumbled from the push, her eyes instantly reddening upon hearing this. She gripped her husband's arm tightly, her voice trembling with tears, "What nonsense are you talking about! If you leave to protect me, what will you do? I will never abandon you!"
The two superhumans were too focused to be distracted by the endless stream of zombies and couldn't participate in this life-or-death conversation.
“We’re getting further and further away from the main group! My legs are useless, I can’t walk anymore! If you stay here, we’ll both end up being eaten by these things!”
Mr. Lu spoke urgently in an unusually gentle voice, trying to persuade his wife, "Listen to me! Go with them first! Stay close to Yu Yang, live well from now on, and don't think about me..."
"You're talking nonsense! Shut up! I won't listen!"
Lu's mother's tears fell like broken beads, her hands gripping his arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh, as if she could snatch him back from the clutches of death.
On the other side, Qiao Xi, Granny Chen, and Zhao Wenjing were firmly protected by Shen Han in a relatively safe area using dense black mist.
The chilling black mist acted like a living barrier, instantly entangling and strangling any zombies that tried to approach, temporarily ensuring the safety of this small area.
While helping Shen Han clear out the occasional survivors who managed to break through the black mist, Qiao Xi subconsciously turned around to search for Lu's parents in the chaotic crowd.
However, the person who was just barely visible has now completely disappeared.
Her heart sank, and her gaze swept anxiously around before finally settling on a spot more than a hundred meters away.
There, the horde of corpses was unusually restless and crowded, as if they were fighting over something, forming an unsettling encirclement.
A terrible thought struck her instantly!
"Oh no!" she cried out in a low voice.
As if to confirm her premonition, a blazing fireball suddenly exploded in the center of the horde of corpses, temporarily clearing a small area.
In the fleeting moment of the firelight, Qiao Xi clearly saw Lu's mother surrounded in the center and Lu's father struggling to support her!
Damn it! How did they get into this horde of zombies?
"Chen Han!" Qiao Xi shouted immediately, speaking very quickly, "You guard this place, protect Grandma, Wen Jing, and the people nearby! I'm going to help those two superhumans rescue Yu Yang's parents!"
"You stay! I'll go!" Shen Han immediately objected upon hearing this, and made as if to rush out.
Josie grabbed him, her eyes unusually firm, and analyzed rapidly, "No! The defenses here can't be withdrawn! If you leave, Grandma and the others will be in danger! I just leveled up, my powers are strong, these ordinary zombies can't hurt me! Trust me!"
Time is of the essence, and there is no room for further debate!
After saying that, she didn't wait for Shen Han's response. She suddenly let go of his hand, and her body, like a nimble cheetah, instantly rushed out of the protective range of the black mist and ran towards the dangerous encirclement of the horde of corpses!
To relieve the pressure on the struggling superhumans inside and to attract the attention of the zombies on the outside, she ran while deliberately shouting loudly, "Hey! You brainless filthy things! Look here! I'm here! Come and bite me if you dare!"
Although zombies cannot understand human speech, they are extremely sensitive to sound.
The many zombies on the periphery who couldn't squeeze in and were anxiously wandering around were immediately attracted by her voice. They roared and turned around, baring their teeth and claws as they pounced on her!
Immediately, the pressure inside the encirclement decreased dramatically.
Hearing the sound, Lu's mother inside thought a large-scale rescue had arrived. Overjoyed, she turned her head to look, her despair turning to hope.
But all they could see was Josie's slender figure, nimbly dodging through the horde of zombies, swiftly dispatching the approaching ones with her knife, and charging towards them alone!
Before she could react, Mr. Lu was already cursing angrily, his voice hoarse with anxiety: "Nonsense! Who sent you here? Are you, a young girl, here to die? Go back now!"
He cursed fiercely, but his eyes were fixed on Josie's direction. When he saw a zombie pounce on her from the side and behind, his heart jumped into his throat. "Watch out!"
Josie ignored his shouts and curses, and with a swift side spinning kick, sent the attacking zombie flying. The dagger in her hand flashed coldly and accurately pierced the head of another zombie.
The movements were clean and crisp, with a cold, icy beauty.
Mr. Lu was still yelling, "Get out of here! Did you hear me! If we get surrounded, they'll bite you until you're unrecognizable!"
Lu's mother's heart trembled violently, and her voice changed from fear to a sob as she cried out, "Xixi! It's too dangerous! Go quickly, don't worry about us! Go now!"
Seeing this, a resolute glint flashed in Lu's father's eyes, and he roared at the two superhumans, "I'll create an opportunity for you! Once I rush out to distract them, you two immediately protect my wife and that ignorant brat and rush out!"
After saying that, he didn't know where the strength came from, but he actually tried to push his wife away and prepared to rush into the horde of corpses!
"No! Husband! I can't just watch you like this..." Lu's mother sobbed uncontrollably, desperately grabbing at him.
At this critical moment,
A sudden change has occurred!
The surrounding light suddenly dimmed, as if we had instantly gone from daylight to night.
"What happened?"
To Lu's horror, her mother discovered that her view was completely blocked.
She instinctively reached out to touch her surroundings, only to find cold, rough, and hard stone walls!
