The zombie that first pulled out Zhang Rui's kidney also pulled out the other kidney, and then gnawed on it until its mouth was full of blood.
The unique stench and smell of blood from the plant thoroughly stimulated the remaining zombies.
In just a few seconds, Zhang Rui's blood-soaked lower body was devoured by these zombies, leaving only bare bones.
"Help...me..."
"Help me... ah..."
Zhang Rui let out a painful groan, and his eyes suddenly rolled twice.
Just as Han Chen and Gu Shasha were still hesitating about whether to save the person, Chen Zhao was the first to pick up the long knife that Han Chen had temporarily placed on the ground.
He rushed over and kicked Zhang Rui's hands, which were still clinging to the steps, hard. "Get out of here! Get the hell away from me!"
Seeing that Zhang Rui's eyes were already turning white but he still wouldn't let go, he simply picked up the knife and slashed it hard at the back of Zhang Rui's hand!
"Let go of me! Go die!"
Chen Zhao acted swiftly and ruthlessly, slashing Zhang Rui's hand until it was a bloody mess in just a few strokes.
It's unclear whether she was genuinely afraid Zhang Rui would attract the zombies' attention, or if she wanted to vent all the anger she felt from Han Chen on Zhang Rui.
But Zhang Rui's will to survive was extremely strong. He clung tightly to the steps with both hands, refusing to let go even though Chen Zhao had cut his wrists and the backs of his hands down to just a sliver of skin.
In the end, Chen Zhao got angry and kicked Zhang Rui down.
"Chen Zhao, you're really ruthless." Gu Shasha looked at Chen Zhao's ferocious face in astonishment and said with a face full of disappointment.
The others looked at Chen Zhao with wariness and disdain, and they all picked up their things and went upstairs, ignoring Chen Zhao.
Only Xiaomin spoke up weakly, "Chen Zhao is doing this for our own good. Zhang Rui has already been eaten so badly, he'll definitely turn into a zombie soon."
The zombies quickly finished eating Zhang Rui's body and, like sunflowers in the sunlight, all turned their heads to stare at the still-steaming crowd.
The scent of living people is a deadly temptation for zombies, especially since Han Chen and his group had just worked up a sweat while moving things.
The odor of people with well-developed sweat glands is a very noticeable and irritating smell to zombies or animals. Right now, this group of sweaty people is like a steaming, spicy Sichuan dish placed before them, attracting a stir from the zombie horde.
Han Chen's men frantically unleashed their supernatural abilities at the swarming zombies below.
Although these zombies are low-level zombies and their attack power is not particularly strong, the strange thing is that the skin of these zombies has evolved to be unusually stubborn. When these superpowers are used, they can only temporarily slow down the zombies' movement speed, but cannot cause any fatal damage to the zombie horde.
As the horde of zombies continued to slowly move forward, a look of dejection appeared on Han Chen's face.
Their superpower reserves are limited, and they will be caught up by the zombies when their superpowers are exhausted.
But what should we do now?
If you force your way out, those zombies outside are no pushovers either; staying here or rushing out will only lead to certain death.
Just when Han Chen and the others were in despair, Su Zheng and Zhao Mujia led their men out of the door and stormed out.
Thanks to the new type of thermal weapon developed by Xu Yi, the zombies were quickly melted like candles under the firepower suppression of Su Zheng and his team.
Zhao Mujia immediately approached Lu Sheng and said, "Sister Lu, we have made a great harvest this time. In addition to equipment, we also obtained a lot of industrial materials, which may come in handy when we get back."
After the two teams met up, they planned to return to M City by the same route. Just as they were about to leave, Han Chen, who was covered in dust and dirt, stopped them.
"Are there still zombies down there?" Han Chen asked nervously.
Su Zheng was an honest man, and he told the truth on the spot, "There should be many more below. We've cleared some along the route, but there are still some in other places."
"It must be that a ventilation duct or a drainage pipe in one of the buildings broke, and there are a lot of new zombies crawling in below."
Han Chen and the others immediately turned pale.
They had just been hoping that dealing with the zombies would be the end of the problem, but if the pipes were damaged, the building would be completely unsafe, and it could be overrun by zombies at any time.
"Hey... can you take us with you?" Han Chen looked at Lu Sheng with a face full of despair.
This group of people is strong and well-equipped. Judging from their complexion and condition, they are surviving well in the apocalypse. As long as they can leave with them, there is a glimmer of hope for survival.
"Why should I? Just because you have a big face?" Lu Sheng retorted coldly.
“We’ll give you back those compressed biscuits, we’ll provide all our people for your use, and we’ll hand over all our supplies to you. Just give us a way to survive.”
Lu Sheng almost laughed in anger, "The compressed biscuits were given to you by us. What else do you have left that you can offer?"
If they really had something good, they wouldn't be treating compressed biscuits like treasures.
Han Chen scratched his head awkwardly, "We have food that can replenish protein, it's good stuff!"
Protein! That's a precious resource!
There aren't even chickens or cows around these days, and excellent sources of protein like eggs and milk are practically only a dream come true. But rice weevils taste pretty good and provide high-quality protein, so they're considered a delicacy no matter where you go, right?
“But we can drink milk and eat beef every day, who would want to eat this?” Han Rui said with a look of disgust.
Han Chen was stunned for a moment, then glared fiercely at Chen Zhao, "You fucking spilled everything, didn't you!"
He had originally intended to hold onto the rare commodity and profit from it, but now that Chen Zhao had taken all the bitter tea seeds, he had no bargaining power left.
But Lu Sheng's expression shifted slightly, and she became interested in Han Chen's parasite.
Protein is indeed an extremely scarce resource in the post-apocalyptic world.
Even though they don't eat it, this stuff will definitely find a market.
If Han Chen weren't trapped in this office building, he would probably be financially independent by now if he could have made it into a base of any decent size.
It would be foolish not to make money when you can. She can use this opportunity to market herself while no other places have discovered these freeloaders yet!
If you're not proactive in making money, there's something wrong with your mindset.
"I want your method for raising rice weevils and your secrets for cultivating them," Lu Sheng said after thinking for a moment.
Chen Zhao is an incompetent fool; his claim of finding rice weevils on mutated plants is only good enough to fool this group of people.
According to Lu Sheng's speculation, Han Chen must have used some special method to cultivate rice weevils, and told this group of people that he found them on mutated plants in order to cover it up.
"Fine... as long as you take us all with you." Han Chen agreed through gritted teeth.
But Lu Sheng quickly added another condition: "Ordinary people in my base will receive a certain number of points upon entering, but you won't be able to. I will only give you the lowest possible status, and whether you survive depends on yourselves."
The others were at least law-abiding citizens who passed the tests, but the group in front of them was described by Chen Zhao as utterly wicked.
In addition, some of them are obsessed with celebrities and romantic relationships, so it's hard to trust the quality and character of this group.
