Chapter 583 The Hallucination Before Death
The zombies spotted Ling Ran and her group and immediately scurried over. The weather itself didn't affect them, but the snow did.
They ran incredibly slowly; some zombies even tripped and fell after only a couple of steps, only to be trampled flat by the zombies behind them before they could even get up.
This is the first time I've seen a zombie that looks adorably ugly.
The next second, the ugly-cute zombie opened its mouth, and a burst of fire shot directly towards everyone's faces.
The surrounding temperature rose several degrees instantly due to the fire, making people feel warm.
Upon seeing this, Pei Yi and Uncle Chen immediately took action.
Various fire-based abilities were unleashed, and Su Yimo and the others were very close to the two, feeling the heat brought by the fire-based abilities up close.
After dealing with several zombies, Pei Xiu stepped forward with his dagger, picked out the crystal core, and said in surprise, "These zombies are all level four."
Gu Zijing frowned slightly: "We need to be careful. It's a bit strange that a few level four zombies would appear in such a remote place."
This suspicion is not without merit.
After all, although most of the zombies nowadays are level three or four, it's a bit too much of a coincidence that the few I've encountered are all level four.
Walking was too slow, so I took out my car again.
Logically speaking, in this kind of weather, it would be impossible to drive, but they have adults with them.
The weather is cold, so the fuel consumption is very fast.
However, adults have plenty of oil, so they're not worried about fuel consumption at all, and they turn the heater up to the highest setting.
Ling Ran took out her phone to play with it, but found that it had turned off because of the cold weather.
After driving for a long time, and seeing that it was almost past five o'clock, Gu Zijing was about to look for a place to stay when she suddenly realized something was wrong: "Don't you guys think something's off?"
"What's wrong?"
Pei Xiu was startled and glanced out the car window a few times, but saw nothing.
"At this hour, it should be at least a little dark, if not completely dark, right? But it's still as bright as day, which is not normal."
Pei Yi immediately thought of the polar night in the western province: "Could it be the polar day here?"
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped and rolled down the car windows to look outside: "You know what, it really looks like the midnight sun."
Just then, Gu Zijing suddenly said, "There are people ahead."
A smile immediately appeared on everyone's face.
After walking for most of the day, we're finally about to see people.
The car accelerated and drove forward.
Meanwhile, two kilometers ahead, four people were being chased by zombies. They were dressed in thick clothes, and their hats had fallen off during the chase, revealing their red and dry faces.
Stepping into the thick snowdrifts, it was slippery and difficult to run in; it was more like walking than running, and even that was a difficult walk.
Fortunately, the zombies moved at a similar speed to them, so there were still several hundred meters to go.
One of the thinner men was panting heavily, being pulled by two other men on either side of him: "I can't go on, I really can't walk anymore."
"Old Yang, hang in there a little longer!"
"Is it even worth it?" The skinny man, Old Yang, panted heavily, his legs numb as he took steps forward. "There's no one around here. Running won't save us from death. We might as well throw me out and use me as a human cushion. You guys can take this opportunity to run and maybe you can escape."
"Stop talking, we won't give up on you."
The only woman in the team spoke up: "You should just shut up. Instead of talking, you should save your energy to run a few more meters."
Old Yang was deeply moved.
He simply couldn't run anymore; his mental state was on the verge of collapse.
"Old Duan, Old Yan, Old Lin, I am truly honored to be friends with you all in this life."
He stopped walking as he spoke.
Old Duan and Old Yan quickly pulled him away, saying, "Old Yang, what are you doing? Run!"
Old Yang turned around, looked at the five zombies that were about to catch up, and gave a relieved smile, saying, "I can't hold on any longer, you guys run! Stop dawdling!"
As he spoke, he walked towards the zombie.
"Old Yang!"
The tall, roughly 1.88-meter-tall Old Duan immediately shouted, "What are you doing?! Don't be stupid!"
Before Old Yang could reply, the woman, Old Lin, suddenly exclaimed, "A car! There's a car! Old Yang, there's a car! We're saved!"
Everyone immediately fell silent. Sure enough, besides the sound of zombies, there was also the faint sound of a car.
Anyone who can still drive in this weather must be a rescue team!
Even if they're not a rescue team, they must be highly skilled experts!
Old Yang was also stunned, but a glimmer of hope for survival appeared in his eyes: "There's hope! We're saved!"
He quickly turned back around: "Old Duan, Old Yan, help me up, I have no strength left."
The group resumed their previous actions and continued their arduous advance. Because of the time they had just wasted, the zombies were now several steps closer to them.
However, this time they all moved much faster than before.
Their survival instinct unleashed their potential.
Just then, a large fireball slammed into their backs. Their zombie powers had been almost completely depleted, but after chasing them for most of the day, they had recovered considerably.
Sensing the danger behind them, the four rushed to the sides. At the same time, an earthen wall rose up behind them, but its supernatural energy was clearly insufficient, and it stopped after rising only one meter high.
Old Lin's face turned pale: "No, I really don't have a single drop left."
The four of them had already exhausted their superpowers, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a sorry state. The same goes for the zombies' superpowers, but their superpowers recover much faster than humans'.
After his zombie powers recovered somewhat, his speed was noticeably faster than before.
The earthen walls were thin and short, and they pushed them down with brute force, without using any special abilities.
The four had barely gotten up and walked a short distance when they saw zombies approaching. The zombies pounced on them, and the four scattered and quickly lay down in other places. They saw the zombies get up and pounce on them again, but they no longer had the strength to get up and run away.
Just then, the sound of a car, which had been ignored, grew louder and clearer as it approached. Old Yang, who had already run out of strength, used his last strength to shout, "Help! Help us! There are people here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pickup truck appeared in front of them, with a lot of snow still on its roof. Where the truck drove, all the snow seemed to have been swept away by a machine, automatically piling up to both sides to make room for the truck to drive.
The sunlight shone on the snow and ice, so brightly that the four of them couldn't tell for a moment whether it was real or a hallucination on their deathbed.
The stench of the zombies was almost tangible. Just as the zombies were about to tear their flesh apart with their mouths open, the four zombies stopped and then fell straight down, hitting them.
"ah--"
The group screamed and then quickly pushed the zombie away.
Pei Xiu struck a pose, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his handsome right profile facing everyone: "You're welcome."
Looking further into the skull of the dead zombie, a vine was clearly visible penetrating deep into the crystal core.
