Chapter 141 What to do? (First update)
Qiu Yiming watched the casualties increase and shouted at the psychics, "Wake everyone up! We can't go on like this!"
The faces of these psychic users were full of bitterness. They knew that this would not work, but what else could they do? The psychic zombie behind them was obviously stronger than them. They tried their best, but there was no way to break the psychic zombie's mental attack. What else could they do?
It’s not that they are unwilling to do what Qiu Yiming said, it’s that they really don’t have the ability and are simply powerless!
Qiu Yiming's face became more and more ugly. He felt that these people were really useless. With so many people combined, they couldn't do anything about that psycho zombie!
Back then, Fang Yuxin and his group only had a few people? They killed the mental zombie, but what about these people? How come they are useless?
But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't do anything. He tried yelling, and with the efforts of those psychics, he successfully woke up one-third of the people.
Then Qiu Yiming said loudly: "Everyone listen! I don't care what method you use, you must make the people around you wake up!"
The zombies were still attacking crazily, and those who had woken up understood that the most urgent task was to wake up the people around them. It was not that they were selfless, but that they were too few in number. If those people could not wake up in time, the casualties would increase, and their situation would become very dangerous!
So at that moment, all the people who had woken up immediately took action and used all the methods they could think of, just to wake up the people around them.
The mutated zombies were still wreaking havoc. In order to reduce casualties, Qiu Yiming had no time to spare to do anything else. He kept chasing the mutated zombies and killing them one by one.
However, these mutated zombies were obviously much more difficult to deal with than ordinary zombies. They had all seen how powerful Qiu Yiming was, and they did not confront him head-on. Instead, they all stayed away from him and killed those who had not yet woken up.
Seeing the situation getting worse, Qiu Yiming had no choice but to shout out an order: "Everyone get in the car! Retreat first!"
The casualties were getting bigger and bigger. Seeing that a quarter of the people had died at the hands of zombies and half of them were injured, Qiu Yiming didn't dare to delay any longer. He was very happy about this breakthrough and even felt lucky that he didn't leave.
But when the psychic zombie appeared, it only took one mental attack to make almost everyone lose their fighting power. The greatest casualties began from this time.
Qiu Yiming regretted it so much. If he had known that there was such a difficult to deal with psycho zombie here, he would never have chosen to stay. But now, everything is too late!
He didn't dare to harbor any more hope. All these people under his command were his soldiers. If one died, there would be one less. What's more, if these people suffered heavy casualties, it would be difficult for him to explain when he returned to the safe zone!
So he shouted again: "Get in the car! Get in the car! Retreat immediately!"
At this time, all the dazed people had come to their senses. After hearing his words, they rushed towards the truck with their weapons in hand.
The zombies here were obviously unwilling to let them go, and the horde of zombies rushed towards them like a tide.
The scene became more and more chaotic. From time to time, someone would be scratched by the zombies, or simply killed. Screams rang out one after another. The air was mixed with a strong smell of blood and decay, and there were bloodstains everywhere on the ground.
The whole scene made people panic and despair. Qiu Yiming watched the zombies approaching without any sign of retreating. His face darkened and he pushed his hands forward. A huge electric net opened instantly and continued to spread out, forming a huge barrier to block the zombies.
It was the first time for him to use such a powerful move, and after using it, nearly half of his energy was drained. However, he did not dare to let go, but instead had to continuously release his supernatural power to support the power grid for a little longer.
Behind the power grid are zombies that keep attacking. These zombies are simply risking their lives and attacking the power grid frantically, without caring at all about getting electrocuted into charcoal.
Qiu Yiming was almost vomiting blood. He felt the energy constantly draining out of his body. It was such an uncomfortable feeling, but he had no choice but to do it!
Once he let go, the zombies would rush over, and who knows how many casualties would be caused! At this time, because the people were scattered, he had no time to distinguish who was his own and who was not, so he could only save everyone first.
Fortunately, the others were smart enough and no one came out crying and refusing to leave. They all cherished the chance to escape that he had won for them and rushed towards the truck desperately.
Qiu Yiming could block the zombies coming from one direction, but he couldn't block all the zombies. When the mercenaries rushed onto the truck, many of them were scratched or killed by the zombies rushing out from other directions.
Intensive gunfire rang out. At this time, no one cared to cherish the bullets. They all shot at the zombies frantically, trying to kill more zombies.
After another round of chaos, except for the dead, everyone else got on the truck. Qiu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his hands, and the open electric net instantly pounced on the zombies, wrapping them inside.
The "crackling" sound continued, and a large number of zombies turned into charcoal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Qiu Yiming did not dare to stay for long, and did not even have the chance to collect the crystal core. He jumped onto the top of the truck and shouted, "Don't dawdle! Get out now!"
The psychic zombie was still hiding in the dark. Although it only launched that one psychic attack and did not attack again, Qiu Yiming felt very uneasy. He had a hunch that the zombie was still there, and it would be more dangerous to stay, so he had to take the people away first. These people were too weak, and staying would be a burden!
But if he was alone, he was not sure he could stay and deal with thousands of zombies, so he could only retreat first.
There were many zombies blocking the way of retreat. The gunfire never stopped along the way. We relied entirely on firepower to clear the way. After several dangerous situations, we finally escaped.
They didn't dare stay in the food trading city for long and drove the car seven or eight miles away before stopping.
At this time, Qiu Yiming had less than a quarter of his energy left. He jumped down from the carriage tiredly. Then he saw Fang Mengyao getting down from the passenger seat. She walked to him with a worried look on her face. She asked in a gentle and concerned voice, "Brother Yiming, are you okay? You look so ugly!"
Qiu Yiming thought of Fang Yuxin and couldn't help but push away her hand. When he was busy killing zombies just now, Fang Mengyao didn't even appear, and he didn't know where she ran to hide. What's the point of coming out to care about her now?
If it was Fang Yuxin... If it was Fang Yuxin, she would definitely choose to fight alongside him, and might even help him kill that troublesome psycho zombie!
If that was the case, why would he have escaped from that food trading city in such a miserable way?
Fang Mengyao looked unhappy when she was pushed away by Qiu Yiming, but she suppressed her anger when she thought of the dangerous scene just now.
She felt a little guilty. Just now, when Qiu Yiming was dealing with the zombies, she hid. She wanted to take the opportunity to run to the warehouse to get supplies, but those zombies were too powerful, especially the mental zombie hiding in the dark. She was almost affected! If it weren't for the protection of the game system, she might have been bewitched!
She didn't dare to show it too obviously just now, for fear that people would find out that she could use skills from other departments. She had to retreat back to the truck while others were not paying attention and wait for Qiu Yiming to deal with the zombies.
She originally thought that Qiu Yiming could handle the difficult spirit zombie, but she didn't expect Qiu Yiming to be no match for it. However, thinking of the game system's prompt, she couldn't blame Qiu Yiming for being useless.
That spiritual zombie was a level two zombie, and Qiu Yiming had just reached level one. Plus, that zombie was elusive, always hiding in the dark to attack, and never came out, so it was not easy to kill it!
She looked at Qiu Yiming's ugly face, thought for a moment and then comforted him: "Brother Yiming, don't be discouraged. The mental zombie today was too powerful and kept hiding. That's why you couldn't do anything to him. It's not your fault."
Qiu Yiming certainly knew it was not his fault, he just couldn't tolerate his own failure! He was really embarrassed today, and this embarrassing scene was seen by everyone! Thinking of the punishment he would receive after returning, his mood became heavy.
This made him think of Fang Yuxin again, and he even regretted his decision.
He thought that he should not have chosen to distance himself from Fang Yuxin. Fang Yuxin's strength was definitely stronger than she showed. If she had been supporting him, why would he be in such a mess?
Fang Mengyao didn't know that Qiu Yiming actually thought of Fang Yuxin at this time. She already had some understanding of this man, and she only guessed that he couldn't accept this failure. However, looking at Qiu Yiming's ugly look, she was disappointed.
In her opinion, even if Qiu Yiming encountered a level 2 psychic zombie, shouldn't he have killed the zombie by leaps and bounds? Isn't that what happens in novels and TV shows?
But not only did Qiu Yiming fail to kill the spirit, but he escaped in a panic! Fang Mengyao felt that this plot was too abnormal!
She couldn't help but think of Bai Ye, and even couldn't help wondering, what would happen if Bai Ye encountered that mental zombie? Would he be able to deal with it?
The two were thinking about their own things. At this moment, Qiao Xi rushed out of the car with a panicked look on his face. He ran to Qiu Yiming and said, "Major Qiu, it's bad! All the injured people have been infected with the zombie virus! What should we do?"
