Chapter 418 The epidemic is rampant (16)
Cangwu and Lu Chunlai were eager to end the battle quickly, but Brother Bai was like a wooden sculpture, unmoved at all. He even deliberately led his men to stalemate with them. The air was filled with suffocating depression.
Xia Yueke and Huangmao huddled behind the water tank, their hearts beating like thunder. Every breath seemed to drain the remaining air in their lungs, and the feeling of fatigue spread from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
Suddenly, Xia Yueke caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that a stone not far away from him began to shake slightly without any warning. At first, the movement was so small that it seemed like an illusion, but soon, the shaking became more and more violent.
Immediately afterwards, the ground began to tremble faintly, as if thousands of troops were galloping towards this side.
At the same time, a shrill scream tore through the air from not far away and went straight into their ears.
The cry was filled with despair and fear, making people's scalps tingle and their hair stand on end.
The entire tribe was instantly shrouded in a strange atmosphere, as if an invisible hand was slowly dragging them into an endless dark abyss. They had no idea what kind of horror would befall them in the next second.
Xia Yueke's heart trembled, and he stood up from behind the water tank and shouted, "Stop fighting, run! It must be those orc zombies coming. If we don't run now, it will be too late!"
Brother Bai was stunned for a moment, and actually asked one of his younger brothers to go out and take a look. The younger brother was very hesitant, but facing Brother Bai's unquestionable eyes, he could only go in a hurry.
The little brother was smart enough not to make much noise. He stuck his head carefully against the wall. In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply and the scene in front of him almost made him scream.
In the dim light, dense swarms of orc zombies were pouring in like a tide.
Their bodies were twisted, their skin festering, and they exuded a sickening stench of decay. Their sharp fangs were covered in slime, which shimmered eerily in the dim light.
A huge orc zombie grabbed the head of an ordinary orc with both hands and twisted it hard. With a "crack", the crisp sound of the broken cervical vertebrae was particularly harsh.
Then, it opened its mouth and bit the orc's neck. Blood splattered like a fountain, splashing on the faces and bodies of the surrounding zombies. However, they seemed unaware and instead pounced on their prey even more frantically.
Not far away, a few lone humans were surrounded by zombies.
A man desperately waved the wooden stick in his hand, trying to resist, but a zombie suddenly jumped up and bit off his arm. The severed arm and the flesh fell to the ground with a "click". The man knelt down with a scream and was instantly overwhelmed by the swarm of zombies. He could only see countless hands tearing at his body. Soon, his voice was drowned out by the chewing sounds and the roars of the zombies, leaving only a pool of blurred flesh and blood and torn clothes.
Another woman was knocked down by zombies. The zombies' claws dug deep into her back, rolling up her flesh and skin. Her internal organs flowed all over the floor from her torn abdominal cavity. Her eyes were wide open, filled with endless fear and despair, but before she could make any more screams, a zombie bit off half of her face. The scene was so bloody that it almost made people faint.
The younger brother immediately closed the door and looked at Brother Bai with a panicked look in his eyes, "Brother Bai, what they said is true. Those orcs really have turned into zombies. What should we do? Boss, they're surrounded outside now."
Brother Bai's expression froze, and a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
Xia Yueke was so angry that she almost jumped up and down. "We told you everything, but you refused to believe us. Now look what happened, don't you? We missed the best time to eliminate them. We could have just burned them down, but now what do we do?"
Hearing these slightly dissatisfied words, Brother Bai frowned, his tone still arrogant, "Just a few of you little brats, you still want to order me around?"
Xia Yueke was anxious and angry, stamping her feet. "What time is it? You're still showing off here? The orcs and zombies don't care who you are. We need to work together to find a solution!"
Brother Bai glanced at her and said, "Does Brother Bai need you to teach him how to do things? Stop meddling in other people's business!"
Xia Yueke glared angrily, "You bastard, when the zombies catch up with us, let's see if you can still be so arrogant?"
Lu Chunlai walked over, suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "Brother Bai, let's write off the previous matter. Now the most urgent thing is to deal with the zombies."
Brother Bai spat, "Humph, we'll settle the previous accounts later. I don't want to get involved with you guys right now."
Lu Chunlai sighed helplessly: "If you insist on doing things your own way, you will hurt everyone."
Brother Bai turned and left, saying, "Don't think of yourself as a savior. Take care of yourself."
The dozen or so people immediately stopped what they were doing, followed Brother Bai, and were about to leave.
They moved so quickly that they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xia Yueke and Huangmao Ge also came out, looking solemn. "Let's get out of here quickly. The remaining supplies are not very important to us. Let's not take them and just leave."
Cangwu nodded and immediately took his men away. It seemed that they were taking the same path they took when they left the tribe last time.
The scene outside had turned into a purgatory-like one. Brother Huangmao followed them in fear, trembling uncontrollably, but his hands were tightly holding onto Xia Yueke's clothes, refusing to let go.
Among them, Xia Yueke was the easiest to get along with. He didn't dare to pull the hem of Cangwu's clothes, let alone Cangwu's. He could only pull Xia Yueke's.
Cangwu looked at the yellow-haired brother with a serious expression and captivating eyes.
Several people hurried forward in the dim and depressing corridor, their footsteps hurried and rapid, and the sound of their soles rubbing against the ground was infinitely amplified in the dead silent space.
Although they tried their best to control it, there were only four of them in the group, so it was difficult to completely eliminate the noise.
Sure enough, not long after, a creepy growl was heard in the gloomy air.
I saw several twisted orc zombies suddenly jumping out from the dark corner.
Their bodies are extremely huge, twice as tall as ordinary people. Their muscles are tangled and coiled around their bodies like twisted vines. Their skin is festering, and large chunks of rotten flesh are constantly peeling off, emitting a disgusting stench. They are like a giant moving pile of rotten meat.
Cangwu was at the back of the group, "Xia Yueke, you guys go first. This thing is very difficult to deal with. If you get caught up in it, you'll definitely die when the other things come. I can only buy time for a little while now, and I'll be able to catch up with you guys soon!"
Xia Yue knew how powerful Cangwu was. If they stayed, they would only be a drag. He could only nod quickly and say, "Okay, we'll wait for you in front. You must pay attention!"
After saying that, he was dragged away by Lu Chunlai.
Brother Huangmao also followed without any hesitation. He was a relatively quiet person and did not do anything that would hinder them, so Xia Yuke and Lu Chunlai ignored him.
