Chapter 77 Clawed Zombies
Just as he was about to see his old comrades again, Xiao Zhao jogged a few steps and came to the corner. As soon as he turned left, he froze on the spot.
"Little Zhao, is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? It's not like you're missing a few steps," the fat man joked.
Strangely, Xiao Zhao did not reply to the fat man's words.
The three people walking behind quickly noticed Xiao Zhao's unusual behavior, because they didn't see much excitement on his face; instead, he seemed somewhat listless.
"Let's go take a look."
Han Shuo also stopped relaxing, and his expression gradually became serious. He suddenly noticed a detail: it seemed that the place was too quiet.
Han Shuo remembered that the last time he was in this location, he could already hear the sounds coming from the courtyard of the gathering point.
Today, however, the direction of the gathering point is eerily quiet.
After Han Shuo finished speaking, Fatty and Li Shurou also sensed that something was wrong, and the three of them quickly followed him.
"No, that can't be!"
As soon as Han Shuo reached the intersection, he heard Xiao Zhao shout with tears in his eyes, and then rush towards the gathering point.
At this moment, Han Shuo had also seen the situation there.
Countless zombie corpses were piled up at the gate of the gathering point, and the iron gate was squeezed out of shape and wide open.
"Quick! Follow Xiao Zhao, the gathering point has fallen, Xiao Zhao! Slow down, be careful of the area!"
Han Shuo shouted and followed closely behind Xiao Zhao.
He hadn't expected that the gathering point guarded by Qingyu would turn into this state in just a few days.
Why are there so many zombies suddenly appearing? What happened to Qingyu and the others?
Han Shuo knew nothing about this. At this moment, he was very worried that Xiao Zhao would act impulsively and run over to encounter some danger!
...
Fortunately, after Han Shuo followed Xiao Zhao into the yard, they did not find a single living zombie, and the yard was completely empty.
"Where are they? Where are the captain and the others?" Xiao Zhao was clearly anxious and had lost his composure.
"Xiao Zhao, calm down. We didn't find Qingyu and the others' bodies in the yard. I guess we couldn't hold this place anymore, so they chose to leave."
Han Shuo comforted Xiao Zhao, and then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a gap in the wall behind them.
"Look, the car is gone too. They must have escaped safely through that gap!"
After listening to Han Shuo's words, Xiao Zhao gradually calmed down and turned to stare blankly at the gap.
"Yes, they must have escaped. There are no signs of a struggle here."
"What happened? What happened? How did this place become like this?"
"Han Shuo, are you two alright?"
The fat man and Li Shurou from behind also ran over.
"Who knows what happened to attract so many zombies?"
Han Shuo spread his hands and offered a helpless explanation.
"However, Qingyu and the others should have all evacuated safely, which is good news."
"well!"
The fat man sighed. He had always longed for this place, but alas, what a pity…
Han Shuo stepped forward and patted Xiao Zhao on the shoulder to comfort him.
A few minutes later, Xiao Zhao calmed down.
"What do we do now? Where do we go next?" the fat man asked, seeking Han Shuo's opinion.
Before Han Shuo could speak, Xiao Zhao suddenly spoke first.
"I know the way to the underground research facility. I'll lead you there!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! Maybe we can catch up with your captain and the others on the way, since they just left not long ago."
Upon learning that Xiao Zhao also knew the route to the underground research institute, the fat man became excited; he was an optimist.
As they spoke, the three of them turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Han Shuo stopped the three of them, and the fat man looked at Han Shuo with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Let's go, there's nothing left, why waste any more time?"
"Shh! Don't speak yet. Listen carefully, is there any sound nearby?"
After Han Shuo finished speaking, the group fell silent and listened attentively.
Sure enough, a very faint sound reached everyone's ears. The sound came in waves, and if you didn't listen carefully, you really couldn't hear it.
"That sound...it sounds like someone eating," Li Shurou said softly.
"It really is true. Could there be someone hiding here?" the fat man asked suspiciously.
"I'll go take a look!"
Xiao Zhao suddenly became excited. If there were indeed survivors here, they were likely people he knew.
With that thought in mind, Xiao Zhao quickly ran towards the gap in the wall behind him.
Because he recognized that the chewing sound was coming from here.
"Strange? Could there really be someone hiding here? But if someone is hiding here, why hasn't they come out on their own after we've been talking for so long?"
Han Shuo was also curious.
Suddenly, a sentence popped into my mind!
"The mutants often appear in places where there are no zombies nearby!"
At this moment! Apart from the zombie corpses scattered all over the ground, not a single living zombie could be seen!
"Xiao Zhao! Come back! It's dangerous!" Han Shuo shouted anxiously!
However, it was already a bit late. By this time, Xiao Zhao had already stepped one foot through the gap and onto the other side of the wall.
He saw that one of the zombies was actually eating the corpse of another zombie!
When Xiao Zhao saw it, the zombie also raised its head and noticed Xiao Zhao.
Its pupils! Are green!
"An alien species!"
Xiao Zhao quickly pulled his leg back, because the alien species suddenly charged towards him from the ground.
The speed is frightening!
At this moment, Han Shuo and the other two only saw a figure quickly appear in front of Xiao Zhao, raise his arm, and quickly grab at Xiao Zhao!
"Xiao Zhao!" Han Shuo shouted.
It happened in the blink of an eye!
Xiao Zhao was too close to this strange creature. Although he was a little flustered, his years of muscle reflexes made him instinctively lean back and dodge!
The alien's claws slid across Xiao Zhao's face, missing him by only about two centimeters, and landed on the tip of his nose!
Although he dodged the fatal blow, the alien's claws also severed the gun strap on Xiao Zhao's chest.
The two guns lay scattered on the ground.
Xiao Zhao kicked the alien creature, and before he could adjust his position, he fell to the ground, using the force to create some distance between them.
"I'm fine! That's a clawed zombie, it's fast, watch out for its claws!"
Lying on the ground, Xiao Zhao was slightly out of breath and quickly reminded him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the clawed zombie steadied itself and continued charging towards Xiao Zhao.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao had not yet gotten up from the ground.
Just then, the claws of the zombie came crashing down again.
Just then, Han Shuo arrived in time and swung his Tang sword at the arm of the clawed zombie.
The Claw Zombie's attention was entirely focused on Xiao Zhao, and it didn't notice Han Shuo behind it.
"brush!"
With a flash of light, Han Shuo severed the arm of the clawed zombie.
