Song Xia, Song Ziming, and Song Ziying formed a triangle, surrounding Song Ziqing and the others in the middle. The zombie wolves were cunning and kept attacking Song Ziying, who was the weakest among them.
At this moment, Min Hui's expression changed: "This is bad, the commotion has attracted more zombies."
"Cover the children and prepare to retreat."
Song Xia bared his teeth, then tried his best to hold back.
However, her action did cause the zombie wolves to retreat slightly, but soon, after they no longer felt the pressure, the zombie wolves launched an even more ferocious attack.
More and more zombies were converging from all directions, and one of them, a zombie tiger, made Min Hui and his companions turn pale.
"Hurry up!" Old Hei said to Song Ziming and the others in a panic, while he stayed behind to cover their retreat.
They were complete strangers, and it was clear that they had a better chance of surviving if they escaped alone, but this small team chose to put the danger on their own.
"Roar!" The zombie tiger leaped up in a few bounds and crushed the hood of the car with one stomp. Song Ziqing screamed in terror.
Song Ziming kept releasing his lightning powers, but he couldn't even damage the zombie tiger's fur.
This zombie tiger is different from the other zombie animals; it is clearly evolved and even more powerful than the alpha wolf next to it. Since its arrival, the wolf pack has shown a tendency to retreat, only circling around the zombie tiger to launch sneak attacks.
"It's over!" Seeing this, Old Luo's expression was tragic. "I'm sorry, kids, I may not be able to send you to the White Tiger Base."
"Boss, be careful!" Min Hui refused to back down and, in order to rescue the frightened Song Ziqing and her teammates, chose to lure the zombie tiger from the side himself.
His attack quickly took effect; the zombie tiger, drawn by its charred fur, set its sights on him.
Min Hui intended to lure them away in order to give others a chance to survive.
Suddenly, Song Xia pounced forward and started punching the tiger's head.
"It's no use. Go back and protect the children. Don't ever look back."
Seeing that he was prepared to sacrifice himself, the team members all looked reluctant and wanted to take his place, but the zombies had already surrounded them, and the protective circle was getting smaller and smaller.
Seeing this, Song Xia couldn't help but release all his pressure and roar to the sky.
In an instant, the ordinary zombies receded like a tide, while only the wolf pack controlled by the alpha wolf hesitated for a moment before continuing their attack. However, it was clear that the wolf pack seemed to be afraid of something.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Song Xia. At this moment, Min Hui had already escaped and she began a one-on-one battle with the mutated tiger.
"Amazing!" Old Hei couldn't help but whistle. Seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, their attacks became even more ferocious.
Min Hui gave Song Xia a meaningful look before joining the fight.
The mutated tiger kept crashing into things, causing the surrounding buildings to sway precariously. Song Ziming and his team had no choice but to drive their vehicles to an open area. The vehicles were full of supplies, and if they were crushed by buildings, it would be a disaster.
"Old Luo, cover them."
"Roar!" Struck by Song Xia's punch, the mutated tiger pounced from top to bottom, stomping Song Xia hard under its feet.
"Mother Song!" Song Ziqi and the others cried out in terror. It was the first time they had ever seen Mother Song struggle so much. The mutated zombies they had faced last time were not as powerful as this zombie tiger.
Min Hui and the others felt a chill in their hearts. If Song Xia were gone, they would probably only become food for this zombie tiger.
Just as he was about to tell his team to drive away quickly, the zombie tiger bent its front leg, and Song Xia actually escaped from under its paws.
Then he kept punching, one punch after another, until he flattened the tiger's head.
Min Hui took a deep look at the deep pit where Song Xia had been stepped into by the tiger's paw, then released his superpower. He would take advantage of the tiger's weakness and kill it. Why should he bother with those irrelevant things?
"Roar!" The zombie tiger roared in pain. Min Hui was shocked to discover that this zombie tiger could actually feel pain.
This discovery is simply incredible! How can zombies feel pain? Could it be that evolved, higher-level zombies will eventually develop into intelligent beings?
If they can keep evolving, what will zombies eventually become?
Subconsciously, Min Hui looked at Song Xia.
Was he being too sensitive? But Song Xia's roar just now really sounded like the high-level zombies he had fought before, and those low-level zombies had also scattered because of that roar.
But she eats cooked food just like a normal person, and occasionally utters a word or two, completely unlike other zombies who are irrational.
What he found hardest to figure out was that if Song Xia really did evolve from a low-level zombie into what he is now, how did these children manage to survive until now?
Min Hui shook his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts. Why think so much? He was already certain that Song Xia posed no threat to ordinary people.
Moreover, if Song Xia really is a zombie, it might not be a bad thing.
"roar!"
"Roar!" The zombie tiger and Song Xia roared at each other, and the sound waves shattered the surrounding glass.
What followed was a fierce collision, but in the end Song Xia was more skilled. He caught the longsword thrown by Song Ziying and plunged it into the mouth of the zombie tiger.
The zombie tiger crashed to the ground, and the attacking wolf pack scattered and quickly disappeared.
"Damn, it's finally over." Old Hei and the others were panting heavily, then burst into laughter.
"I thought this was the end of my life, but you're really something, girl."
"Boss, from now on, the person I admire most will not be you, but our big sister. Those punches just now were really cool."
"Hey girl, you didn't get hit by the zombie tiger's teeth, did you?"
"I want to dissect this zombie tiger to see how it evolved into something so powerful."
The team members stepped forward and first pried open the zombie tiger's head, which took a lot of effort. Then they found the crystal core, cleaned it, and threw it to Song Xia: "Little sister, this is yours."
This crystal core is larger and brighter than the one from the previous mutated zombie, especially in the dark, where it is even more dazzling.
It would be a lie to say they weren't curious, but no one felt any greed. After admiring it, they went on to dissect the zombie tiger.
"These teeth are really nice."
"Look at this tiger meat, it's very elastic, and the fur is a bit tough, but it's really different from ordinary zombie animals."
"Is this what advanced zombies look like after evolution? If they evolve further, will they be able to disguise themselves as ordinary people and animals?"
Min Hui glanced at Song Xia again, and Song Xia turned to meet his gaze.
Min Hui smiled amicably and then said to the team members, "Take some samples back and see if the research institute can come up with anything. If mutated zombies and mutated animals can evolve intelligence and live peacefully with humans in the future, that would not be a bad thing."
After he finished speaking, Song Ziming and the others couldn't help but look over.
Min Hui sighed inwardly. Although it was unbelievable, it seemed to confirm his suspicions even more. No wonder there were no zombies when they first went out. The zombies only started to appear after they told them to be quiet. Perhaps he had really managed to glimpse a glimmer of hope in this apocalypse.
