Chapter 74: Virus Infection (Part 3)
The sound of gunfire echoed in the narrow corridor, like a thunderclap, shocking the people in the corridor. Some of them couldn't help but close their eyes, not wanting to watch Fang Yuxin being scratched by the mutant zombies.
The others stared at Fang Yuxin and the mutant zombie with their eyes wide open. Among them, the three people from the Fang family were so angry that they wanted to rush to Fang Yuxin immediately.
Then they were surprised to find that the mutant zombie was frozen in place. Its outstretched claws were just a little bit away from touching Fang Yuxin's delicate face, but it could no longer move forward.
Fang Yuxin raised his foot and kicked the zombie, and then the mutant zombie fell backwards. Only then did the others see that the center of its brow had sunken down.
Fang Yuxin pulled out his knife and stabbed the tip of the knife into the depression between the mutant zombie's eyebrows. Then he poked it hard, and a crystal nucleus larger than the primary crystal nucleus popped out and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
This is a first-level crystal core, which is white in color. Compared with the primary crystal core, it is not only larger in size, but also purer. More importantly, the energy fluctuations on it are stronger than those of the primary crystal core, and it is also more mysterious. Anyone who sees it will subconsciously know that this is a "speed system" crystal core.
Fang Yuxin quickly put the crystal core away and stuffed it into his waist bag. Then he walked straight towards his family without stopping. At this time, Qu Qianhe had been helped up by Fang Jintang. Her sportswear had been torn open, revealing the black protective suit underneath. Fortunately, she dodged in time, and the protective suit underneath was not grabbed open by the zombies.
Fang Yuxin checked his family first and found that not only Qu Qianhe, but also Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang's sportswear had been torn apart by the zombies' claws. Among them, Fang Yuyang was injured! His right arm was scratched by the zombies, leaving five deep and long scars! What's worse, his wounds had turned slightly black!
This is a sign of being infected with the zombie virus!
Noticing this, not only did the Fang family members change their expressions, but the expressions of other people were also very unhappy. They all knew very well what it meant to be infected with the zombie virus!
Almost instantly, the way these people looked at Fang Yuyang changed. Some people's eyes flashed with struggle and reluctance, while others had a hint of vigilance and hostility in their eyes!
These people were worried that Fang Yuyang would mutate into a zombie. They also thought that Fang Yuyang was a wind-type superpower. If he turned into a zombie, would his superpower disappear? If not... wouldn't he be like the zombie just now, especially difficult to deal with?
What was even more worrying was that among these people, Fang Yuyang was not the only one scratched by the mutant zombie! In addition to the dead, there were five other people who were also scratched! After checking their wounds, they also found that the wounds had turned black.
This couldn't be worse!
Fang Yuxin watched all this with cold eyes. Seeing that they looked strange, he said, "After being infected with the zombie virus, you may not necessarily become a zombie. You may also awaken superpowers. People with superpowers are more resistant to the virus and may be able to survive. You are not dead yet, so why despair? Stand up if you can walk. The fire-type superpowers will deal with the bodies, and then we will go downstairs and talk in the car!"
The five injured people except Fang Yuyang were all mercenaries who joined their team. Among these mercenaries, there were both superpowers and ordinary people. Now, they were all injured. In addition, there were three fresh corpses on the ground, which were the survivors who had just been killed.
They were already very weak and finally waited for rescue, but unexpectedly a zombie with a speed mutation appeared. They were caught off guard and all died at the hands of the zombie.
However, after Fang Yuxin released his spiritual consciousness, he discovered that there were seven survivors in a dormitory next door, all of whom were in a state of panic. They probably saw what had just happened, so they locked the door and hid inside, refusing to come out.
Fang Yuxin frowned and said loudly: "It's safe now. The people in the house can come out."
But it was useless. The seven people in the room just hid with their heads in their hands, and no one was willing to come out. She was angry. They had to rush back to the car and see if they could treat the injured. Did they have to waste time with these people?
Her brows furrowed even more tightly, and her voice became more angry: "If you refuse to come out, just wait for the next group of people to rescue you. Let's go!"
When she said this, the people hiding in the house panicked. One of them said dissatisfiedly: "How can you do this! Aren't you here to save us? How can you just leave?" She was so scared that she didn't even dare to open the door while talking and just hid in the house.
Not only Fang Yuxin was angry, but everyone else was also very angry! Especially the five mercenaries, why were they injured? When the mutant zombies appeared, they stopped the zombies to protect the survivors and buy them time to escape! But now, they were infected with the zombie virus and were in danger of dying at any time. Instead, these people were too scared to come out and waste their precious time!
It's really hateful!
Then someone said, "Great! Let's go! Since they won't come out, let's wait for other rescuers!" After saying this, the man strode towards the stairs. The other four people looked at each other and left without hesitation. Before leaving, one of the fire-type psychics shot out three flames and hit the three bodies. Once the flames touched the bodies, they spread and burned silently.
The Fang family took one look at the tightly closed dormitory door, smiled disdainfully, and turned away.
Now, everyone in the room was completely panicked.
Finally, someone forced himself to open the lock and opened the door a crack. When he saw Fang Yuxin and the others had already gone far away, he was immediately frightened out of his wits. He quickly picked up his bag, opened the door and ran out. The other six people were the same. They were not fools and knew that staying would only lead to death.
If they want to survive, they must keep up with the people in front of them! No one wants to die if they have a chance to live! But when they left the room, they also felt resentment towards those who abandoned them! Fang Yuxin, who was the first to propose leaving, naturally made them hate him the most!
When they left, they saw the three bodies burning silently, and they couldn't help but shudder, and then they walked faster.
Fang Yuxin and the others noticed the footsteps coming from behind, smiled disdainfully, said nothing, and just quickened their pace. As soon as they reached the stairs, the people in front of them were met by the zombies coming up from below.
Because there were many injured people here, the smell of blood was very strong, and the zombies below rushed up after smelling it. They were all injured, so their strength was naturally affected. In addition, the psychological trauma brought to them by the previous mutant zombie slowed down their movements.
The situation became a little dangerous as it slowed down.
Fortunately, their desire to survive helped them come to their senses quickly, and after some effort, they finally solved the zombies. However, they also suffered more injuries. The only thing that made people feel fortunate was that these zombies were all primary zombies.
Fang Yuxin saw that they were in low spirits and knew that they were no longer fit for fighting, so she asked them to retreat to the back and she led the way. Fang Jintang was worried about her and followed closely behind her. Behind them were Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuyang.
Although Qu Qianhe was lucky enough not to be scratched by the zombies, she suffered some internal injuries from the collision. Although she was not in danger of contracting the zombie virus, she still felt very uncomfortable. This affected her strength and she was no longer suitable for fighting.
Fang Yuxin rushed to the front. After reaching the third floor, she did not go to rescue people, but led everyone out of the dormitory building. She killed all the zombies she met on the way and escorted everyone back to the truck.
The door of the carriage was closed, but Fang Yuxin knew that there were people in the carriage! These people were all survivors rescued from other dormitory buildings, a total of 38 people.
The five mercenaries breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the truck, and then, without Fang Yuxin's instructions, they quickly opened the car and climbed in. The 38 survivors in the car also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them, and then they looked curiously at the seven survivors behind Fang Yuxin and the others.
The seven people were very nervous at first, but when they saw the other survivors, they became braver. When they saw that the Fang family members did not go up, they simply went in front of them and tried their best to climb into the carriage. Seeing that they were struggling to climb, someone in the carriage came to help and pulled them up.
Although the five mercenaries did not stop them from going up, their faces looked very unhappy. The people who were originally helping saw their ugly faces and became a little suspicious, and their eyes turned a little differently when they looked at the seven people.
Seeing that Fang Yuxin and the others didn't get on, the five mercenaries hesitated for a moment, then jumped off the car again and asked worriedly, "Captain Fang, why don't you get on?"
Fang Yuxin pointed at the zombies coming towards them from a distance and said quickly, "There are zombies coming, close the door quickly!"
The five mercenaries naturally did not dare to hesitate. They closed the carriage door quickly, and their faces turned slightly pale.
There are quite a lot of zombies coming this time!
Because there was still some distance, Fang Yuxin walked to Qu Qianhe, put his palm on the place where she was hit, and used spiritual energy to heal her wounds.
Fang Yuyang's wound was infected with a virus, so it would be difficult to treat. There was not much time now, so she did not waste her energy and chose to heal Qu Qianhe's internal injuries first.
Qu Qianhe's internal organs were only slightly injured after the collision, and her injuries were not serious. Fang Yuxin quickly healed her injuries. This way, Qu Qianhe's strength was no longer restricted, and they had more confidence.
At this time, Fang Yuxin saw that the five mercenaries were pale, so he said, "When the zombies come later, you should hide behind them and protect yourself."
The five mercenaries knew that she meant well and looked at her with gratitude, then they gripped their weapons tightly and retreated to the back.
At the same time, Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe also retreated behind Fang Yuyang.
Then, the three of them looked at the approaching zombies warily and tightened their weapons.
Here we come!
