That night, Bright Island was no longer bright; all the lights went out.
Several men, having run out of food at home, decided to go to the vegetable garden behind the mountain to pick some to take back. They were on their way back after picking the vegetables.
The four men descended the mountain along a steep, narrow path, which could only be traversed one at a time. The man at the back of the path always felt something behind him and would occasionally look back.
After turning around for what seemed like the umpteenth time, he found only one person in front of him, who had clearly seen something and was standing still.
The man who kept turning back noticed something was wrong and quietly peeked out. He saw several people with bluish skin, clearly zombies, eating people on the ground.
He recognized the man; he was one of the people who had been walking ahead with them earlier.
Neither of them dared to make any big moves. They exchanged wary glances, each afraid that the other might run away first.
The two slowly backed away, trying to leave before the zombies noticed them.
But people are more prone to making mistakes when they are nervous. One of them broke a dry branch, making a sound.
The two stopped moving at the same time, and the zombie also stopped eating. Because of the blurred vision, the zombie twitched its nose and sniffed the air.
Soon, as long as you forget there's food at your feet, you'll be able to smell other aromas.
The zombies quickly located the two of them and roared as they charged towards them. The two were so frightened that they ran back up the mountain, occasionally waving their supernatural abilities around.
After reaching the top of the mountain, they went down from the other side, but there was no path on the other side. The two could only run around haphazardly among the trees, grass, and thorns, and eventually they got separated.
Xiao Fengyu was the one who was walking at the very back of the group earlier.
He ran to the beach, with zombies still chasing him. He didn't know what was wrong with these zombies; their limbs weren't stiff at all, and their speed was about the same as a normal person's. He didn't dare to slow down for a moment.
He took out oxygen beads from his backpack, jumped into the sea, and swam towards the deeper water. Sure enough, the zombies stopped chasing him, sniffed the air for a long time, and dispersed when they couldn't smell anything.
Xiao Fengyu still didn't dare to go ashore. He was also very hungry. Although the vegetables he had just picked were in his backpack, they were all raw and he couldn't eat them.
He suddenly thought of something and swam towards Qinglong Island, but halfway there he found that no matter how he swam, he could not get closer, as if something was blocking his way.
He opened the light screen and contacted his friends on Qinglong Island, only to learn that Qinglong Island had been upgraded to level five in the past few days. No wonder Hong Haoyue was imprisoned on Qinglong Island and Hong Fuqiu had not sent anyone to rescue her.
After Xiao Fengyu briefly explained the situation to his friend, that friend rushed off to find Duan Bohai.
Duan Bohai was just relaxing after resolving the potential zombie virus issue on Qinglong Island, and had just started soaking his feet when someone called him from outside.
Helpless, I could only dry my feet, put on my shoes, and go out to see what was going on.
"Boss Duan, Boss Duan!"
The man was still calling out anxiously. When he saw Duan Bohai's wooden door open, he excitedly tried to get closer, but Xiaobai was blocking his way. He was a little afraid of the tiger.
"What's all the fuss about?" Duan Bohai looked serious, but he was also a little flustered. He hoped that something serious might happen. He had been busy lately, and at almost fifty years old, his body couldn't take it anymore.
"Something's happened on Bright Island!"
After the man relayed everything Xiao Fengyu had told him to Duan Bohai, Duan Bohai was so angry that he wanted to smash the orange tree next to him.
"Who else on Bright Island is causing trouble!" Duan Bohai was so angry that he took a few steps on the spot, then turned to the man and ordered, "Go, call the people in charge of each city to the conference room."
The man accepted the order and left immediately to fetch more people. Duan Bohai also went back to his room to change his clothes and rushed over.
In the meeting room, after the events were recounted, someone spoke up.
“I have an old friend on Bright Island. He told me that when they joined Bright Island, Hong Haoyue stored all the rafts, so everyone on Bright Island is still there. Bright Island has at least 30,000 to 40,000 people. If this continues, Bright Island will become a zombie island in a few days.” The man became more and more angry as he spoke. These were living, breathing people.
What on earth is Hong Haoyue doing?!
If he could be killed now, he would definitely be the first to kill him.
Duan Bohai sighed. Originally, it was to prevent other people with impure intentions from contracting Bright Island again after Hong Haoyue's death, but he did not expect that someone would not want the island and only want to cause destruction.
"Could these zombies have been released by Hong Fuqiu?" someone remarked.
"Impossible. With a powerful backer, Hong Fuqiu is naturally not afraid. But his backers are all locked up by us now. If his pathetic superpower really turns into a zombie island, he won't be able to escape either." The sarcastic words were undisguised, and it was clear that the speaker had a grudge against Hong Fuqiu.
"I... I might know who it is."
Chen Mingyao opened the conference room door at some point, stood there somewhat awkwardly, and raised his hand.
"who?"
No one cared that he had trespassed; instead, they were curious about what he knew.
"A doctor, blond and blue-eyed, probably of mixed race, with less defined features, leaning more towards Chinese, and looking at people like they were being stared at by a venomous snake." Chen Mingyao recalled the look in the "doctor's" eyes earlier, and his body couldn't help but shudder.
"Alright, no matter what, we still need to rescue the people on Bright Island first. It doesn't matter if they don't want to join Azure Dragon Island. Just rescue them first. Keep an eye on the 'doctor' that Chen Mingyao mentioned."
