This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 50

Five people rushed across the open space and returned to the inspection area. As soon as they entered the safe zone, Zou Lang quickly locked the door, trapping a dozen zombies outside.

Those dozen zombies crowded the small entrance, their ferocious faces pressed against the glass, constantly pounding on it.

Upon entering, the driver let out a painful groan and fell to the ground. The female doctor tightly held his amputated arm, “He’s lost too much blood. He needs hemostasis and medication, and a tetanus shot.”

Zou Lang turned back to look at the driver’s condition, who was already somewhat delirious, “All those things are in the residential area of the staff here. He and I just escaped from there.”

Yu Jingtang gripped the umbrella in his hand and coldly said two words, “Kill back!”

Zombies were on the move. What was dangerous before might now be a safe place.

Zou Lang also picked up the axe again and said, “Beware of the mutated zombie!”

The female doctor exclaimed, “There is a mutated zombie here?”

From her tone, it was clear that she knew about mutated zombies, but she didn’t expect to encounter them here.

Zou Lang said, “The mutated zombie is a child, very fast, I chopped his leg with an axe. Everyone, be careful.”

Yu Jingtang nodded and instructed the female doctor and the boss, “You two take care of the driver, and also be careful that he may turn into a zombie at any time. We will deal with the zombies.”

The group of five once again set foot on the road to the staff residential area in the back.

Just twenty minutes ago, Zou Lang had just killed his way out from here. The environment here was already different from before, with blood splattered all over the ground and the air filled with the smell of blood.

The blood was from the zombies and from the driver’s amputated arm.

The corridor that was empty just now was now full of zombies. Seeing them enter, they bared their teeth and pounced with claws outstretched.

Hunger dominated the zombies’ brains, and they were extremely eager for the flesh and blood of the living.

Zou Lang and Yu Jingtang charged in front.

Kill!

At this moment, only slaughter could leave a way for the living.

Zou Lang’s axe swung towards the zombies’ skulls, and Yu Jingtang’s umbrella kept hitting the zombies’ weak points.

The zombies’ blood sprayed out, splattering the walls.

In the sound of rain, one by one, the walking dead let out tragic screams and fell to the ground.

The entire corridor turned into a hell on earth.

The female doctor and the boss followed behind them, threading their way through the bodies scattered all over the ground.

They couldn’t stop, a pause could mean death.

They fought their way through, opening a bloody path among the zombies.

They finally rushed back into the small room they were in before. The driver’s severed hand was still on the ground.

After Zou Lang entered the room, he turned on the light, checked it, and locked the door. The door was specially made and could block the zombies.

This was the residential area of the quarantine station staff. Inside were bedrooms, daily necessities, bathrooms, and simple kitchen utensils. Yu Jingtang carefully checked it. Once they arrived here, they were temporarily safe.

Everyone’s tense emotions finally relaxed. The female doctor helped the driver lie down, tore the bed sheet to bandage his wound, “What’s your surname?”

“Surname Zhang.” The driver’s eyes were full of gratitude, “My name is Zhang Yuan.”

“You’ll be fine.” The female doctor held his other hand, gentle like an angel. Then she turned her head to the boss and said, “Uncle, I need to look around to see if there are any medicines or something. During this time, please take care of him. If there are any signs of zombification, call us immediately.”

The boss took off his half-wet suit, “Okay, hurry up.”

While they were busy rescuing the injured, Yu Jingtang and Zou Lang simply changed out of their wet, blood-stained clothes and began to observe the nearby environment.

The room had a window, which opened to the other side of the parking lot. The window had iron bars that could defend against zombies. Zou Lang looked out, and outside the window was a dense vegetation, and further back was a blocked wire fence. Rainwater fell on the leaves of the plants, making a rustling sound.

“Where do these zombies usually hide? Why was the initial inspection station empty? But then they all came out?” Yu Jingtang asked.

“They might be hiding in the mountains. Behind this quarantine station, there is a mountain. It’s possible that a mudslide damaged a section of the protective wire fence.” Zou Lang made a guess based on the environment.

Yu Jingtang frowned slightly, “These zombies are not ordinary, they can approach humans silently, and are hard to detect. Maybe because they were bitten by the same special mutated zombie?”

Zombies bitten by special zombies, the infected zombies, some would carry some of the characteristics of the special zombies, this was a phenomenon discovered in previous battles.

“The special zombie I encountered has a new direction of evolution.” Zou Lang recalled the details just now.

“How?” Yu Jingtang looked up.

“It can speak, it can disguise, its IQ is higher than that of ordinary zombies.” Zou Lang asked.

Yu Jingtang lowered his head with a serious expression, he had never heard of this situation. But the evolution of zombies had all possibilities, even zombies that could regenerate exist, what’s so strange about zombies that could speak?

Being able to communicate with language was one of the characteristics of humans. As long as the zombie’s hyoid bone was not completely stiff, and there was still some memory from before death in the brain, there was a possibility of speaking.

During the embryonic period, the differences between organisms were not that great. In order to study the developmental process between species, there was also the subject of comparative embryology. The zombie virus could cause the infected body to undergo a phenomenon of regression, mutation, and super evolution.

And this kind of evolution was completely non-directional, which was why Fang Yanzhou was fascinated by it.

“Although that little zombie can only say some simple words, it is very confusing. We all thought it was just an ordinary child at the time.” Zou Lang sighed.

If it weren’t for this, the driver wouldn’t have been injured.

Yu Jingtang suddenly remembered something and asked Zou Lang, “What time is it now?”

Zou Lang raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist. It was already covered with zombie blood. He wiped it before he could see clearly, “It’s past eight in the evening.” Then he slapped his thigh and said, “With all this fuss, I forgot to eat dinner!”

Yu Jingtang had a black line on his face, “I’m not talking about this!”

“People are iron, rice is steel, how can we not eat?” Zou Lang said as he started to rummage around, whether there was any unfinished food in the refrigerator, there was also a rice cooker on the table. The staff here had just evacuated, or were killed not long ago.

(t/n: People are iron, rice is steel-(Proverb) It is a metaphor that you will have strength only after you are full) 

“Wait, wait, wait!! You eat later!” Yu Jingtang couldn’t stand him and said to him seriously, “We can’t go back today no matter what, and maybe not tomorrow either. You call your brother.”

Zou Lang stopped his movements, “Why should I call? Shouldn’t the higher rank be the one to ask for leave?”

“This is an order!” Yu Jingtang threw a cold sentence, “Because I don’t want to talk to him.”

Zou Lang coughed lightly, deeply troubled by the harmonious family ethics, these two people really were incompatible.

He took out the newly issued communicator from his backpack, dialed a string of Zou Fang’s numbers, yet there was no prompt sound or abnormal noise inside. Zou Lang fiddled with it up and down, while looking and complaining, “They said that the previous line might be monitored, so they changed to a new one. Damn, I believed in Zou Fang’s evil? They talked so eloquently, but what’s the situation, it’s not connected at all? Hasn’t it been debugged yet?”

Yu Jingtang comforted him, “Maybe you operated it wrong? Changing channels or something, it always takes some time.”

Zou Lang was studying the little thing in his hand, and unexpectedly, Zou Fang’s voice came from inside, with a cold smile, “Yes, you shouldn’t have believed in my evil.”

Zou Lang’s hand shook, and the new communicator in his hand almost fell to the ground.

It… it’s connected? …And it was connected just now?

Why doesn’t this ghost thing have a ringtone or a connection prompt or something?

There was a moment of awkward silence here.

Yu Jingtang held back a laugh, turned around and walked away, looking like it had nothing to do with him.

Listening to the silence here, Zou Fang’s voice came again, “If you have something to say, if not, I’ll hang up.”

Zou Lang hurriedly said, “Brother, brother, don’t hang up, we are near K City, we encountered zombies on the way back to B City. We and a bus of civilians are trapped in a quarantine station, we can’t go back tomorrow, we need support.”

After he said such a long paragraph, Zou Fang on the other side gave six words as an evaluation, “You’ve caused me trouble again.”

Zou Lang almost wanted to throw the communicator in his hand, his anger value skyrocketed, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Division Commander Zou!”

Where did he cause trouble? The whole thing was trouble finding them.

“No other meaning.” Zou Fang continued to speak, his voice calm, “I’m used to it.”

This sentence was much gentler, as if comforting his bristling younger brother.

Then there came some sounds of key operations from the other side. After a while, Zou Fang’s voice came again, “I see your location, and you’re with your little lover again. I’ll contact the local military, someone will contact you later, and they will cooperate with you, additionally, give you three more days off, handle things well. I’m hanging up.”
