Xiangzi didn't say much, but he slowed down slightly.
Their destination this time was the surrounding countryside. Over the years, all the safe zones have tacitly avoided killing all the food, otherwise there wouldn't be potatoes to eat in the safe zones. They encountered quite a few zombies along the way, but without the Blood Moon's blessing, these zombies were not fast enough. If they didn't want to fight, they could avoid it by speeding up and running.
After traveling for more than half an hour, Xiangzi, who was leading the way, raised his hand to signal to stop, "Hide well."
Everyone immediately hid in the waist-high grass nearby. After a moment, they heard a series of hurried footsteps. If they got closer, they could hear someone anxiously saying, "Hurry up, hurry up, we can't let other safe zones get there first."
Xiangzi, who was hiding behind the rock, quietly peeked out, noticed the markings on their clothes, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, "It's the Deepwater Safe Zone. Wen Zuo, Mo Shuwan, Jiang Ling, Zhu Jun, and Zeng Chi, go stop them. The rest of you come with me into the village to find supplies. We'll meet up here in two hours."
Xiangzi's voice was very soft, and he could only relay the message one by one. By the time it reached Mo Shuwan's ears, the people from the Deep Water Safe Zone had already gone some distance. However, Xiangzi and the others were not in a hurry, because they knew that the other party would come back sooner or later.
Sure enough, not long after, the people from the Deepwater Safe Zone rushed back the way they came, yelling, "Damn it, how come there are still so many zombies!"
"Are you stupid? There are still so many zombies, doesn't that just prove we're the first ones here!" The leader of the Deepwater Safe Zone ran around assigning tasks. Their plan was similar to Xiangzi's, except that one group of them killed zombies while the other group went to find supplies.
After the Deepwater Safe Zone fought its way into the village, Xiangzi immediately stood up and hurriedly followed the survivors from the Deepwater Safe Zone. The survivors from the Deepwater Safe Zone, who were killing zombies, were so angry that they wanted to rush over and kill Xiangzi and the others, but unfortunately, they were busy killing zombies and had no time to spare.
Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, who were left behind to deal with the remaining survivors in the deep water safe zone, instinctively rushed forward upon seeing the zombies. After fighting the zombies, which were several times stronger under the blood moon, for four days, these zombies were now relatively easy for Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo to kill.
Even at this moment, Mo Shuwan was seen as incredibly powerful by the other survivors, because her movements as she killed zombies were clean and efficient, without the slightest hint of panic. Jiang Ling and the other two behind her stared at Mo Shuwan in astonishment, completely surprised that she possessed such combat prowess.
only……
"Hey, our enemy isn't zombies, it's the people from the Deepwater Safe Zone!"
The survivors in the Deepwater Safe Zone, who had just felt relieved by the addition of Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, immediately felt their breath catch in their throats again upon hearing this, and couldn't help but swear.
Mo Shuwan paused for a moment while killing the zombies, then continued killing without hesitation. Now was a good opportunity to kill zombies, so how could she give it up? However, she still had to explain, "The blood moon has just passed, and there must still be many zombies around here. There is no need to attack them for a little bit of supplies. After all, we should be able to get the supplies and get back alive."
Jiang Ling, Zeng Chi, and Zhu Jun exchanged glances, all somewhat hesitant. Mo Shuwan was right; they had even encountered a similar situation before, where only a dozen or so members of the entire brigade survived. After that incident, the strength of the safe zone once dropped to a level even lower than that of the Deepwater Safe Zone.
But... surely I won't be this unlucky this time too?
With the help of Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, more than twenty zombies were quickly killed. Mo Shuwan looked down at the back of her hand, squinted her eyes in satisfaction, walked to the grass next to her, and placed the watermelon knife on the grass to wipe the dark red bloodstains that smelled of decay.
The survivors in the deep-water safe zone took two steps back, looking at Jiang Ling and the others warily. "Don't go too far. How much supplies you can find depends on your own abilities. We didn't attack you when your strength declined before."
"Hmph, the only reason you don't attack us is because you your own strength is insufficient. Stop with the high-sounding excuses."
Both sides drew their weapons, ready to fight at any moment if the other made the slightest move. However, this tense atmosphere was broken by a cry for help after more than ten minutes. Both sides' expressions changed drastically, because they heard their own companions' voices in the cries for help.
"Walk!!!"
Since both sides were calling for help at the same time, they must have encountered great danger. The crowd disregarded their differing stances and rushed towards the village. After running less than 300 meters, they saw their companions, but their situation was dire. In less than 20 minutes, the total number of survivors lost on both sides had reached five. Xiangzi and his three companions were panting and blocked on the path, afraid to move.
The people in the deep-water safety zone were blocked on the other side and dared not make any rash moves.
In the middle of the road, a zombie was violently tearing apart the bodies of several unfortunate survivors. Just by looking at its movements, you could tell that it was different from other zombies; it was too agile!
The people in the deep-water safe zone screamed in shock, "Holy crap!!! Special zombies!!!"
The exclamation brought Jiang Ling and the others back to their senses. Their faces paled, and they growled, "Go! Get out of here!"
The three of them, including the other party, turned and ran without hesitation. However, their actions were noticed by several survivors trapped inside who were unable to escape. With the thought that "if I can't live, neither can you escape," they immediately threw a rock hard in the direction the group had fled.
The color drained from Jiang Ling and the others' faces as fear overwhelmed them. At that moment, only one thought remained in their minds.
Run...run away now!!!
The zombie, which was crouching on the ground tearing apart the corpses of survivors, was attracted by the sound and discovered Jiang Ling and the others who were running for their lives. It immediately rushed towards them like an arrow. When they felt the movement behind them, the group burst into tears of fright. Their luck was really incredible. They actually managed to run into a special zombie that only appears once in ten thousand zombies.
Hearing the approaching footsteps behind them, despair began to spread. The first to suffer was Jiang Ling, who was running wildly when Zeng Chi pushed her from behind, trying to use her death to hold back the special zombie and buy them time to escape.
Jiang Ling lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up. When the shadow of the special zombie that had stopped behind her enveloped her, she let out a desperate scream, "Zeng Chi, you wait for me! I'll come back for you as a ghost!!!"
'Bang'
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Apart from Jiang Ling's desperate screams, the surroundings returned to calm, and Wen Zuo, who was protecting Mo Shuwan and hiding behind the tree, breathed a sigh of relief.
