Chapter 55: Die Together (Part 2)
When the explosion sounded, the Fang family was still on the road. The huge roar startled everyone. Bai Qianqian subconsciously held Fang Yuxin's hand tightly, while Angela trembled all over and threw herself into her arms.
Fang Jintang was a little uneasy: "Why is there an explosion?"
Fang Yuxin released his spiritual consciousness to investigate, and Bai Qianqian also released his mental power. Then, the faces of the two changed. At this moment, a roar was heard again in the distance. It was the sound of the second car exploding.
Although the second car narrowly avoided the first car, due to the driver's error, the two cars were too close to each other. When the first car exploded, the second car was also affected. The flying flames and debris fell on the second car, causing it to explode again.
When Fang Yuxin and Bai Qianqian released their spiritual awareness and mental power, they happened to see the second car being set on fire, and at the same time, they guessed its ending.
Witnessing such an explosion, even though they knew the people on the bus had already lost their humanity, they still felt uncomfortable. Fang Yuxin had experienced more, so he was a little uncomfortable, but Bai Qianqian was just a child, and such a scene had a huge impact on him.
He held Fang Yuxin's hand, and the warm touch seemed to have the power to soothe his heart, which was beating wildly. He withdrew his mental power, closed his eyes, and tried not to think about the scene he had just seen.
The others were also alert. Seeing that the two of them looked a little strange, and considering the explosion they had just heard, they were smart not to ask them what they had seen. Qu Qianhe said, "The situation ahead is unclear, so we'd better not rush over. Let's stop the car here. Xinxin and I will take Qianqian to look around here. Jintang, you and Yuyang go check it out first."
Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang naturally had no objections, and they both thought so. So Fang Yuyang stopped the car, took his weapon and went to investigate the situation with Fang Jintang. After that, everyone else got out of the car. After Fang Yuxin put the car into Qingmu Lingfu, he held the Miao~dao in his hand and looked around vigilantly.
The scene after the explosion was too tragic, so Bai Qianqian naturally didn't want to see it well. However, if the three of them stayed here, they would have to be on guard against the sudden appearance of zombies.
Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang walked forward quickly. They had been exercising regularly and their physical strength was much better than their peers. After taking the marrow cleansing fruit, the impurities in their bodies were removed. They looked like they had been reborn. Not only did they look a lot younger, but their physical strength had also become better. After awakening their special powers, although it was not in the direction of strengthening their strength, their bodies had also undergone a transformation. Therefore, their physical strength was not much worse than that of the special forces.
The two were tall and had long legs, and they walked fast. In addition, the place where they parked was not far from the explosion site, but there was a corner between them, which blocked their view. After turning the corner, the two saw the explosion site from afar. Both cars were burning, and through the blazing flames, they could see vague human figures.
At a glance, it seemed that no one had escaped. The scene was truly tragic.
The two walked quickly and arrived soon, but at this moment, they found something moving in a car! The flames blocked their sight and they couldn't see clearly, but they subconsciously became alert and stepped back several steps.
Then, they saw something moving in the car. No, it couldn't be called a thing, it was clearly a person! This person was very short and looked like a child. Because he was covered in flames, it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
However, both the father and son subconsciously thought of the "daughter" mentioned by the woman before she died. With their guesses in their minds, they showed some reluctance on their faces. However, they did not let their guard down. Instead, they stared at the man with their eyes fixed, becoming more alert.
The person moved and climbed out of the car very slowly. She didn't know whether she was injured or for other reasons, but her movements were very slow. However, she was burning with flames, and the situation was unclear, so the father and son did not move forward, but stepped back a little to prevent her from suddenly attacking.
After a long time, the girl finally climbed out of the car. She first fell to the ground, then slowly got up and walked forward step by step. With each step forward, the fire on her body became smaller and smaller. After five steps, the flames on her body almost completely disappeared, revealing her true appearance.
When the father and son saw this, their faces changed and they retreated together again.
The girl in front of him no longer looked like a normal person. Her clothes had been completely burned, and her delicate skin had become dry and shriveled, clinging tightly to her bones, completely skin and bones. Her body was already riddled with holes.
After her body shrank, her head looked unusually large. Her hair had long been burned, and there were many burn marks on her shrunken skin. She suddenly raised her head and looked towards Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang. Two clusters of flames burned in her pupils again.
Both the father and son were keenly aware that the aura of this strange little girl was getting stronger and stronger, which actually gave them a strong sense of crisis! So they retreated again and kept a distance from the girl.
The girl swayed, as if she would fall at any time, but she stood stubbornly and walked towards the two men step by step.
Fang Yuyang thought about it and tried to say, "Your mother asked us to rescue you. Do you still remember her?" Because the little girl looked so strange and didn't look like a normal person at all, Fang Yuyang suspected that she had lost her mind and asked tentatively.
It turned out that he was right. The little girl obviously still remembered her mother. After Fang Yuyang finished speaking, she stopped where she was. The fire in her eyes flickered and became unstable, as if it would go out at any time.
Seeing this scene, both the father and son felt nervous. They were not too scared, but seeing her become like this, they felt a little pity in their hearts. She had already suffered a lot, so they couldn't bear to hurt her again.
However, they were still very wary of her. If the little girl really wanted to attack, no matter how much they sympathized with her, they would have no choice but to kill her.
The flames in the little girl's eyes kept flickering, sometimes solid, sometimes illusory, as if she was struggling in her heart. Just when the father and son clenched their weapons and thought they had to fight, the little girl opened her mouth and uttered a very weak call.
Perhaps her throat was injured, and her voice was as soft as a cat's, and very hoarse, and it was impossible to tell what she was saying. However, she kept calling over and over again, and her voice gradually became louder. The father and son finally heard clearly that she was calling "Mom".
She did not walk towards the father and son, but turned around and walked in another direction. Her movements were slow and difficult, and every step seemed to take a lot of effort.
The father and son frowned. When they left, they had set fire to the corpse to prevent the zombies from devouring it again. Now, even if she went to look for it, she would not be able to find her "mother".
The little girl obviously couldn't hold out that long. Although they didn't awaken wood-type abilities and weren't very sensitive to life, they could tell that the little girl was already on her last legs.
When they came, they thought that the little girl might have met with an accident, but they didn't expect that things would turn out like this. This little girl actually awakened the fire ability! And it is very likely that she suddenly awakened after being taken away. The two explosions here were probably caused by her.
But her condition was obviously abnormal. Qu Qianhe also awakened the fire ability, but when she released the flame, no flames appeared in her eyes, and she was not burned so badly! This little girl's condition seemed to be "possessed by the devil".
Although the father and son did not see the whole process, they guessed the situation. It was this guess that made them dare not approach the little girl. Her mood was obviously not right. If she was really "possessed", they would probably be attacked by her if they approached her.
Seeing that she was walking with difficulty, Fang Yuyang thought for a moment and tried to speak again: "Can I take you to see your mother?"
The little girl slowly turned her head, but just as Fang Yuyang took a tentative step forward, fire flashed in her eyes again. At the same time, both father and son noticed that a terrible energy was gathering in her body.
The two could only step back and say, "Don't be nervous, we won't hurt you."
This time, the fire in the little girl's eyes flickered, and finally died down. Then, tears gradually gathered in her eyes, and the tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. She called out "Mom" but suddenly fell down.
Both the father and son were startled. Just as they were about to step forward, they sensed that the energy on the little girl had become violent again. They had no choice but to step back a few steps. Then, they saw flames suddenly rise from the little girl's body. The flames quickly spread, enveloping her entire body, and burning silently.
The father and son did not move. They both had a feeling that she was already dead. If that was the case, it would be better to let her turn into ashes in the flames and go with the wind, so that her body would not be trampled on again.
Sure enough, the next moment the girl's body turned into sparks, which dissipated little by little and gradually went out, until finally nothing was left.
After her death, the flames in the car mysteriously went out, revealing the burnt wreckage. None of the people in the car escaped, and all turned into twisted and ugly charcoal.
The father and son sighed and turned back.
With the little girl's talent, if those people had not brutally killed her mother, but had lent a helping hand, she might have become their helper after awakening. But they were so inhumane that they not only killed her mother, but also captured her to attract zombies, stimulating her to go crazy and die with them.
This chapter can be regarded as a desperate counterattack by a small person. I have always felt that life forms are very mysterious. Whether they are humans or animals, they may burst out with very powerful power when they are forced into a corner.
