One of the old men bravely stepped forward and said to Qin Qing, "Little girl, is what Xia Zi said just now true?" His eyes were full of suspicion and scrutiny.
Qin Qing was lowering her head, using a machete to pry open the severed zombie heads for inspection. She had just used the machete to poke through the heads of the dozen or so zombies, but hadn't found the crystal core she'd found in the head of the zombie in the jewelry store. It looked like these dozen zombies were just ordinary zombies. Although she still had lingering fears about the violent crystal core, she decided to collect a few and store them in her space. If she could find a way to transform the energy within the crystal core into jade-like energy, that would be great.
Just now, she had dismissed Zhong Lixia's nonsense as nothing more than a joke. Now, this group of people were questioning her. Qin Qing was instantly amused. She had been so kind as to save them, and now they were accusing her of it. It was as if she had committed an unforgivable sin. It seemed that she should refrain from such virtuous behavior.
"What if it's true? What if it's false?" Qin Qing's face remained expressionless, but his hand, which had been loosely gripping the machete, tightened tightly. A chilling aura emanated from him, sending a chill through the heart of the questioning man and the others. It was only then that they realized that this young girl, as tender as a scallion, had just killed a dozen of those monsters.
Everyone's eyes suddenly changed and they felt uneasy.
Zhong Lixia was so frightened that she took several steps back and stepped on Zhang Yong's instep. The pain made Zhang Yong almost cry out.
He poked Zhong Lixia's lower back hard and made a mouthful of something. Zhong Lixia finally woke up from her daze. She cleared her throat and said, "Grandpas, aunts, uncles, aunts, you saw that the woman didn't refute it. But Brother Li Xiong is an acquaintance of ours after all. Now that he is injured, he should naturally go with the people he knows. And these injured people cannot follow us." Her hand passed over each injured person, and the faces of those she pointed at were pale.
They would rise up to resist, not only to protect themselves, but also to save one more person. However, they never expected that the person they had taken the trouble to save would be so cold and indifferent.
Li Xiong hadn't expected Zhong Lixia to have such an idea. Having been injured by the zombies, he was already filled with despair. Now, looking around, he saw that all these people he used to know were lowering their heads as if they didn't recognize him.
"No, my husband won't turn into a zombie. I beg you, don't abandon him!" A woman with a big belly threw herself on a man with a leg injury, her face full of sadness and pleading.
Zhong Lixia sneered and said, "You said it won't change, right? What if it does? Who has the guts to bet their life on it?"
After she finished speaking, she looked around at everyone who was silent, and continued, "Those who don't care about their lives can stay with these people who were bitten by zombies. If you get bitten to death, don't blame me for not warning you!" The last few words were spoken word by word with complete viciousness.
Those who were frightened by her words quickly gathered behind Zhong Lixia, and the scene immediately formed a triangular confrontation.
Zhong Lixia and a group of twenty or so unharmed people stood aside. She and Zhang Yong quickly asked people to check whether any of these people had been bitten by zombies.
On the other side, there were five people bitten by zombies, including Li Xiong. Li Xiong and the pregnant woman's husband were the most seriously injured. One had an arm wound, and the other had a leg wound, both with entire muscles torn apart. The other three had their skin scratched by the zombies' nails. The blood had long since stopped flowing, but the injured areas were black, as if they had been poisoned.
Besides Li Xiong and the other five injured people, the only people with them were a pregnant woman and a little girl about 18 years old. However, she was holding the hand of one of the injured men while looking at a beautiful woman behind Zhong Lixia.
The woman felt so ashamed when her daughter looked at her that she lowered her head and dared not look at her husband and children.
Qin Qing was left alone. She had wanted to leave, but just as she turned, something struck her. She remembered that people who had been captured by zombies would develop superpowers. It was only the beginning of the apocalypse, and no one knew which people would be injured by zombies and become zombies, and which would survive and become superpowered.
But, would bringing along these people, who he didn't know if they might become psychics, turn them into burdens? Qin Qing's mind raced with thoughts. After all, becoming a psychic was incredibly rare. However, the zombies of today were still in their early stages, their movements relatively slow and their strength relatively weaker than those of less mutated zombies. If these people did become zombies, he could simply kill them.
Thinking of this, she curled her lips and said to the isolated people, "Although I don't know you, but now that you have been abandoned, are you willing to come with me?"
Li Xiong and the others were already filled with despair, but now, hearing this clear voice, like heavenly music, they all looked at Qin Qing in disbelief. With their family and friends abandoning them, this unrelated, unrelated person was actually willing to take them along?
Li Xiong's face flashed with excitement and emotion, but as if he had been bitten by a zombie, the expression on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant. He lowered his head in frustration, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying. He said, "Little girl, thank you very much! But now that we have been bitten by zombies, we will become zombies sooner or later. We don't want to drag everyone down, and we especially don't want to drag you down."
Qin Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly. This man looked like a bear, but his personality was soft and sticky. Thinking of the extra space in her space, what if she was late to the supermarket and everything was sold out?
"You are just a few people. I don't care about you. If you turn into zombies, I don't mind giving you a quick death." Qin Qing snorted coldly and glanced at the zombies lying on the ground with their heads and bodies separated.
Li Xiong was choked by her words and all the words he wanted to refute were stuck in his throat. Moreover, when he saw Qin Qing's cold eyes turn from the zombies on the ground to himself, he always felt that she was looking at his neck. Suddenly, a chill ran from his tailbone to the center of his forehead.
"Brother Xiong, since this lady said so, then we should just follow her shamelessly. If we really turn into those monsters, there must be someone who can suppress us and kill us. This will prevent us from harming others after we become monsters." The man who was holding hands tightly with the pregnant woman stepped forward, pushed his glasses, and said calmly.
