Chapter 422 The epidemic is rampant (20)
But facing Cangwu, Lu Chunlai didn't dare to refute at all. He could only nod awkwardly and leave, planning to find a faraway place to look for herbs. There were few people and there would definitely be no orc zombies.
Xia Yueke specifically reminded him, "If you really can't find it, it's okay. We can look for it with you after we get the zombies."
Lu Chunlai was so moved when he saw Xia Yueke that he hugged her.
"You're the best indeed!"
After the two of them finished talking, Lu Chunlai disappeared in a flash.
Xia Yueke and Cangwu set off together. Cangwu put his arm around Xia Yueke's waist and flew up the tree in a flash, touching the ground with his toes and standing on the highest branch.
"We have to hurry. I've checked around here and there's no one. We need to go somewhere farther away and find a place with orc zombies before we make our plans."
Xia Yueke was terrified all the way. After all, she had been climbing walls and running on rooftops before, and there was still a place where she could land. But now she felt that if she moved casually, she would pull Cangwu down with her, so she didn't dare to move at all.
Cangwu talked for a long time, but Xia Yueke didn't respond. He lowered his head and saw Xia Yueke looking at the ground in horror, her whole body stiff.
Cangwu burst out laughing as he watched, and Xia Yueke's body swayed slightly with his laughter. She was so scared that her voice trembled, "Cangwu, what are you laughing at? Stop moving around, or we'll fall down!"
Xia Yueke looked at the ground. She was almost scared to death at the height of more than ten meters without any safety guarantee.
Cangwu finally laughed enough and said, "Don't be afraid. This is nothing to me, and I can definitely guarantee your safety. Just leave your safety to me."
As he finished speaking, he deliberately jumped back and forth on a few branches. Xia Yueke's heart was like a roller coaster, and it was almost stopped in fear.
After a while, Xia Yuekenai gradually regained her composure after getting used to it. She was no longer afraid and pinched Cangwu. "Okay, you dare to believe me, right? Are you too brave?"
Cangwu smiled slightly, "Okay, let's get down to business!"
Xia Yueke wanted to say something else, but suddenly four or five birds flew up from somewhere in the woods not far away. It seemed that there was some movement over there.
The two stopped fooling around and quickly ran towards the place where the sound came from.
When they arrived at the place, Cangwu and Xia Yueke were more cautious. Cangwu did not go down rashly, but stood on a branch and observed the surroundings. He saw that there were many orc zombies in the woods, more than a dozen of them.
They moved slowly, their skin was bluish, and the whites of their eyes moved slightly in their sockets, as if they were observing their surroundings.
And in the dense jungle nearby, there were actually people, there seemed to be two or three of them, hiding in a low bush.
The three men were covered in green stains, which should be the blood of the orc zombies. It seemed that these people were also very smart. They imitated the old witch doctor and avoided the orc zombies' sensitive noses. No wonder these orc zombies were wandering around but could never find their target.
Xia Yueke saw it with her sharp eyes, and quickly poked Cangwu's arm, pointing at that place, indicating that he wanted to save it.
Cangwu did not object. Originally, they only needed orc zombies, and they must lure a few zombies away separately, otherwise they would not be able to take action in this area.
So he nodded gently and leaned close to Xia Yueke's ear, "I'll lead them away. You take the opportunity to guide the remaining people to the south. There are fewer zombies there, and there are more orcs and humans in the nearby caves. If they meet kind people, they will probably take them in."
Xia Yueke nodded to show that she understood. Cangwu probably didn't want to take these unidentified orcs back to his cave. Xia Yueke was also afraid that these orcs would delay the old witch doctor from making the antidote, so this was the only way.
Cangwu threw a large stone into the distance. The stone hit the leaves, making a loud noise that was particularly noticeable in the quiet jungle. These orcs who couldn't find their target suddenly rushed towards that direction as if they were injected with chicken blood.
In the blink of an eye, the orc zombies below disappeared and followed the other zombies to the source of the sound.
Xia Yueke was put down by Cangwu, and he quickly ran towards the source of the sound, revealing the breath of a living person, and repeatedly led away many orc zombies.
These orc zombies are very easy to deceive. The breath of living people is too deadly to them. No matter whether it is a trap or something else, they will jump into it desperately.
On this side, Xia Yueke didn't waste a moment and ran to the place where the three people were hiding.
"Hey, get up, the zombies are gone, come with me now, I'll take you to a safer place!"
The three men raised their heads, revealing several terrified and haggard faces.
The one on the top is a fat man with small but shrewd eyes. The one in the middle is a thin man who is as thin as a stick. His skin is slightly dark, but his eyes are bright and lively.
The last person was a little short, half a head shorter than them, and his face was very pale.
The three men burst into joy when they saw a living person, and the thin man shouted:
"You're a player, right? Help us! There are zombies all around here. What should we do?"
The fat man quickly covered his mouth and said, "Liu Dawei, shut up and keep your voice down. Are you trying to lure all the zombies back?"
Liu Dawei nodded immediately, but his face was full of regret. "It's all your fault. Last time someone said there were zombies, but you refused to believe it. Now look what's going on. We've run out of our last supplies. How are we going to survive the rest of the time?"
The dwarf also struggled to get up from the ground, but he seemed very weak and pale, as if he had been hungry for a day or two. He raised his head, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "Big sister, do you have anything to eat? We can work like slaves for you, just give us some, okay?"
Xia Yueke looked at the three people in front of her who looked like they had grabbed a life-saving straw. The noises around them were getting louder and louder. It seemed that many zombies were chasing Cangwu. She didn't want to waste time and said quickly:
"Come with me first, and we'll talk as we walk. If we waste time here now, once the zombies come back, we'll all be finished!"
The three of them didn't hesitate and started running after Xia Yueke.
After only running a step or two, the last person shouted weakly: "I can't do it anymore. I'm so tired. I haven't eaten for two days. I have no strength at all. I haven't had any water to drink. I don't have the strength to run at all."
Xia Yueke was speechless for a long time. He took out the dried meat that had been in his pocket for a long time and threw it in front of the three people behind him. "Eat it while you run. This is the last of my rations."
Liu Dawei took it first and looked at Xia Yueke with a wary look on his face. "Big sister, why did you think of saving us? And giving us food? Is there some conspiracy? Let me tell you, the three of us have eaten all the food we had a long time ago. We don't even have water!"
