Chapter 190 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse 20
Shen Ci drove her SUV like an arrow, speeding out of the crowd. It was too chaotic here. She guessed that the blood on Chen Kangkang's mouth was because he had mutated.
Through the rearview mirror, the mother and son saw a chilling scene that they would never forget, and their hearts clenched.
Chen Kangkang was just spoiled and had a pampered personality before, but his current behavior has completely deviated from the realm of humanity.
He hugged his mother, Chen Juan, who had only wanted to wipe the blood off him because she saw it on him.
Unexpectedly, once he stepped forward, he never retreated. Chen Kangkang revealed his teeth, which were stained with blood, a deep crimson. He had become a monster, only knowing how to follow the desires in his heart.
What desires could a zombie have? It just wants to bite people, right?
Chen Kangkang opened his mouth wide, in an exaggerated way, and began to frantically gnaw at Chen Juan's neck, tearing off a piece of flesh with each bite. He didn't eat it, so the flesh fell to the ground.
Blood spurted out, just like a burst water pipe, staining Chen Kangkang's already somewhat ashen face red.
That's good, you look much healthier now.
Chen Juan's eyes widened in shock, her body wracked with pain. She stared at her son in utter terror, trying to push him away, but her neck had already been bitten off, and she couldn't make a sound.
Chen Juan's body began to convulse violently. Her ten-year-old son, Chen Kangkang, was now so weak that he couldn't be moved at all. If Chen Juan hadn't squatted down to wipe the blood from her son's mouth, she wouldn't have been bitten on the neck.
"Cousin, cousin is eating Auntie's food!"
Da Bao, holding a camera, recorded the whole scene through the car window. It was the first time he had seen such a bloody scene, and Da Bao's face turned pale with fright.
He was so frightened that he grimaced as if he could feel the pain himself, but his hand holding the camera remained steady.
Although his aunt's family treated him badly and he had no feelings for them, seeing familiar people eating another familiar person was still too hard for him to accept.
Chen Kangkang's current state sent alarm bells through Shen Ci's mind. His eyes were red, lifeless, and empty, showing aggression and a thirst for flesh and blood—all characteristics of a mutated zombie.
Unexpectedly, this mutation came so quickly. Only half a day after the rain stopped, the first mutant appeared, and it was someone we knew.
Shen Ci did not stop Da Bao from seeing these changes. This is the end times. If you don't let your child face it, he will never grow up.
"He's mutated, Da Bao."
Remember what he looks like now; we might encounter many more monsters like him in the future—that's what zombies are.
Shen Ci usually teaches Da Bao about the concept of zombies, how to fight them, and how to deal with them, so that the child knows that the world has changed.
The vehicle was parked some distance away, and the chaos behind them continued; no one had yet realized what was happening.
Chen Kangkang's biological father married into the family, and now seeing his wife bitten like this by his son, his first reaction was not mutation, but anger.
Enraged, he rushed forward, swearing incessantly, and slapped Chen Kangkang hard across the back of the head. This guy was ruthless; he dared to slap a zombie.
"You little beast! Have you gone mad?!"
"Let go of your mother! Even if you're starving, you can't bite your own family!"
After all, zombies are something we've only seen in TV shows and movies; we've never actually seen one in real life.
Instead of his son's obedience, Chen Kangkang was slapped. He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot like spider webs, with no white showing, and his pupils dilated.
He let out a strange, indescribable roar, and the next second he released the nearly dying Chen Juan, lunged at his own father, and bit the man's arm that was blocking him.
Zombies only eat the freshest food.
"ah--!"
Chen Kangkang's father screamed in pain and struggled desperately.
It was only at this moment that the survivors who had been watching realized that something was wrong.
"His eyes! They're all red!"
"It bites people, it goes berserk at the sight of blood, does it have rabies?"
"This...this can't be the zombie from the movie, can it?" A trembling voice in the crowd voiced this terrifying thought.
"Damn it, these are zombies! What are you standing there for? Run!"
"Are you idiots? These are zombies! Run! What are you looking at?!"
"Yes! It's a zombie! Look at him! He looks exactly like a zombie!"
"Oh my god! There really are zombies!"
Grandpa Li reacted the fastest; as expected of a seasoned veteran, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he shouted loudly.
"We can't let him bite anyone else! This thing is contagious! We have to get rid of the source! Kill him! Otherwise, we're all doomed!"
Faced with a common threat to survival, human nature is fully revealed, and at this time, having someone who can make decisions naturally becomes the backbone.
Some people thought Grandpa Li was right, while others felt sorry for him.
"What if, what if he's just sick? This child is so young, wouldn't that be murder?"
How long has the order been broken? In people's hearts, there is still the hope for a harmonious society where no one dares to kill indiscriminately.
Grandpa Li shoved the person who had spoken forward and said fiercely.
"Sick? Then go up and pull him away and see if he bites you!"
There's only one of him, but we have over a dozen. Are we afraid we can't kill him?
Seeing Chen Kangkang's mouth full of blood and his roaring, the man was so frightened that he kept backing away and dared not say another word.
After the initial fear subsided, everyone reached a consensus: survival was an instinct, far outweighing pity. The group exchanged glances, grabbed whatever tools they could find—bricks, sticks—and slowly surrounded the attacker.
As long as the source of the mutation is eliminated, the spread of the virus can be stopped! Everyone knows that zombies spread by biting people.
"No! No! Kang Kang! My son!"
Chen Juan's neck was still covered in blood blisters, and she was on the verge of death, yet she still tried to crawl over to protect her son.
Chen Kangkang's father also clutched his bleeding arm, trying to stop everyone.
"No! Don't hit him! He's my son!"
Grandpa Li pointed at the two of them, his tone cold and unforgiving.
"You've been bitten too! Look at you! You'll all turn into those monsters sooner or later! For everyone's survival, you have to be dealt with as well!"
Originally, you only needed to kill one, but now you have to kill three.
Now is a time when everyone is at a loss, and since Grandpa Li can offer advice, people naturally listen to his words.
These words ignited Chen Juan's husband's will to survive. He saw that the crowd was about to surround them and kill the three of them. He knew he couldn't possibly fight off so many people.
A look of despair flashed in his eyes. Rhythm bent down, picked up the kitchen knife from the ground, gritted his teeth, and slashed hard at his arm, which had just been bitten and was still bleeding.
