Chapter 30 Sepsis Zombies
Tian Tian looked around at Xia, holding a torch, and said, "There's a pile of supplies here."
Jiang Baiyue and Sunflower walked over.
Scattered on the ground were basic healing potions, wood, berries, mineral water, black bones, and so on.
"Someone died, and if there were companions... there wasn't time to take them away."
Upon hearing this guess, all three hesitated about whether to continue.
But if we retreat... we can't defeat the scorpion.
Jiang Baiyue could teleport away in the chaos, but Sunflower and Tiantian Xiangxia would not be her stepping stones.
"Let's continue. There are still two mercenaries. You can give me some coins when we get out, depending on the situation."
"Oh yeah. Ugh, those two mercenaries were so quiet, they didn't even make a sound when they walked, I completely ignored them!"
Tian Tian looked up at Xia with a shocked expression and saw two black-clad mercenaries behind Jiang Baiyue. Because there weren't enough torches, they were half-hidden in the darkness, almost blending into the darkness except for their eyes.
This caused them to forget the presence of the two mercenaries because they were so nervous.
Sunflower looked at the two mercenaries. Logically, she should have the lowest stress level and be less affected by stress, so she couldn't help but ignore the two mercenaries.
"Is the sound a bit affected here?"
Sunflower's observation skills are not weak, and mercenaries are not ghosts; they walk without making a sound.
Jiang Baiyue shook her head, unsure. The mercenaries did walk quietly, and it was normal that she hadn't noticed them in the chaos.
What is your stress level?
She was quite worried about this; if everyone's stress levels got out of control, there would be too many uncertainties.
So every now and then she would ask again, but she didn't ask the two of them to show her their attributes to avoid a crisis of trust.
Sunflower: "25".
Tian Tian Xiang Xia: "45".
"Take some medicine. Your blood pressure is too high."
Tian Tian nodded to Xia, took out antidepressants from her backpack, opened the box and swallowed two capsules. She understood everyone's worries.
After all, she had seen how people with excessive stress levels went crazy.
"The stress level is now 35..."
Jiang Baiyue turned around and glanced at Tian Tianxiangxia discreetly. When she started scouting again, she unintentionally walked behind the two of them to avoid being betrayed.
Not long after, they came to another fork in the road. Just as they were about to take the leftmost road, they suddenly heard loud footsteps and shouts from the side.
Soon, a group of people came running out with ferocious expressions.
The man in the white vest running ahead was carrying a box and shouted excitedly when he saw someone.
"Help!"
"Save us! We...we'll pay you!"
"Give me payment! Give me payment! Help!"
Jiang Baiyue and her two companions immediately ran away. There were several more people on the other side than them, and they all had to run away. How could they ensure their own safety?
However, a group of people seemed to have taken a liking to them and followed them into the leftmost passage.
Jiang Baiyue's torch suddenly went out, but the people behind her seemed to be wearing miner's hats or carrying flashlights, so she wouldn't be plunged into darkness all at once.
As she ran, she would occasionally look back, wary of people suddenly rushing up behind her.
"There's an iron gate! Do you have a key? Try it!"
Tian Tian angrily swung his axe at Xia, the iron gate clanging loudly, completely unprepared for this situation.
"I have the key!!"
Among the people behind, a short-haired woman next to the man in the vest raised her hand and shouted.
Jiang Baiyue and Sunflower drew their weapons and waited for the people to run over. Only then did the three of them realize what kind of monster was chasing after the group of people.
A zombie with pustules on its head, emitting black smoke, was dressed in white clothes that had been ripped to shreds.
Three or four meters behind the white-clad zombie was a group of ordinary zombies, densely blocking the passage.
"Hurry, hurry! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!"
"Aaaaaah! Open the door! They're coming over!"
"Shut up and stop yelling!"
A group of people had exaggerated expressions on their faces, their eyes were full of terror, and the whites of their eyes were faintly red.
Jiang Baiyue noticed that several people's eyes and expressions were too crazy. She originally wanted to guard the door with one hand, but now she was worried about the danger and moved to the side.
Sunflower and Tiantian Xiangxia were pushed aside by this group of people.
The man in the vest gripped the short-haired woman's arm tightly in fear, ignoring her screams of pain, and kept urging her to open the door quickly.
The short-haired woman took out her key and tried to put it into the lock, but her hand trembled and she dropped the key on the ground.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
"Jiang Yuan can't do anything right, give me the key!"
"let me!"
A fat man pushed Jiang Yuan aside, then suddenly bent down and grabbed the keys.
His sweat dripped down, even wetting the ground.
Jiang Baiyue kept a close eye on their movements, and as soon as the door opened, she immediately shouted to warn her companions.
"Walk!"
Hehe—!
The zombie with pustules on its head suddenly leaped up, instantly closing the distance between them.
"ah--!"
Just as Jiang Yuan was about to run through the iron gate, she was suddenly pushed open, directly bumping into Tian Tian Xiang Xia who was standing next to her.
Sunflower and Jiang Baiyue were following behind to cover the rear. They were a step too slow, and as soon as they turned around, they saw the iron gate slam shut.
A group of people walked away triumphantly!
Without hesitation, Jiang Baiyue and Sunflower met the zombies behind them.
The zombie opened its mouth and spat out a black water ball; the two people each pulled one away to avoid it.
The black water ball crashed to the ground, splashing water droplets everywhere. A drop or two landed on Jiang Baiyue, and a chill ran through her skin in those spots.
"You stand at the back and provide light!"
Jiang Yuan wore a shiny miner's hat, the headlamp of which illuminated almost half of the passageway.
"Waaah... I'm fine..."
Hope flickered across Jiang Yuan's despairing face, and she opened her mouth to respond with difficulty.
Jiang Baiyue was worried about her, so she asked her to provide light from behind.
At this point, she couldn't worry about conserving bullets and coins. She had Mercenary Number One follow her with a rifle to fight zombies, while she herself equipped herself with capybara gear.
Mercenary #2 stood guard beside Jiang Yuan, while also using his rifle to attack and distract the zombies.
【Pus Zombie (Lv2: 346/350)】
Another pitifully low damage, and the four people looked grim as they saw the health bars.
Even the red-eyed scorpions made them flee in all directions, let alone the 350-HP venomous zombies and hordes of zombies.
Bang bang bang!
Taking advantage of the brief separation between the pustular zombie and Jiang Baiyue, the mercenary opened fire, taking away more than 30 HP.
Sunflower followed closely behind, slashing at the zombie's head from behind while silently chanting to activate its talent for double damage to enhance its attack.
-46 damage!
The numbers floating above the zombies' heads caught Jiang Baiyue's eye. So high?
However, she then saw the sunflower retreat quickly and take out food to eat voraciously.
In just a second or two, she immediately raised her hand and launched a fireball in the direction the zombie was hiding, then ran over and raised her iron axe to finish it off.
Because the zombie was avoiding the sunflower attack and also disliked Jiang Baiyue, the fireball hit the zombie squarely on the back of the head, causing 46 points of damage.
However, the fireball did not ignite because black liquid was secreted from the top of the zombie's head.
The pustular zombie roared, dodged to the side upon sensing the attack, and then spat out a black water ball at the sunflower.
The roars of the zombies that followed sped up, making the four of them's ears go numb.
Jiang Baiyue and Sunflower launched another attack together, and Jiang Baiyue took the opportunity to tell Sunflower about the time limit of her item.
"30 minutes!"
Although the description of the capybara item doesn't explicitly state a cooldown time, it can't be used twice on the same day, something she's already tested.
The zombie horde is closing in.
Sunflower retreated to help Tiantian Xiangxia clear out the zombies behind them.
There were too many. Countless zombies roared, and the stench permeated the entire space. With each breath, the stench seemed to thicken and condense into water vapor.
Jiang Yuan nervously gripped her collar. Undeterred, she tried to push the door, but the iron door remained firmly in place, the iron bars inserted seamlessly into the edge stone pillars.
The key to the switch is nowhere to be found!
