Chapter 674: Chapter 674 Hu Jing Disappeared_1
You frantically searched the area around you, and even with night vision ability, the nighttime field of view certainly wasn’t as broad as during the day. The surrounding environment was extremely complicated, with cars intertwined and buildings towering everywhere; finding Hu Jing was clearly a strenuous task. What was more worrying was that the zombie horde had already encircled you.
"Su Su——"
Your voice echoed in all directions, reaching Hu Jing’s ears as well. However, at that moment, Hu Jing still couldn’t control her body. She only had awareness but no control over it, and her body wasn’t walking but rather speeding along the walls of a building like a snake. Feeling herself getting farther and farther from you, Hu Jing’s heart was filled with anxiety, your calls reaching her ears incessantly until you were out of breath.
Afterwards, Hu Jing felt her consciousness beginning to blur. In a daze, she found herself on top of a large truck parked under a street lamp. With the help of the streetlight, it wasn’t difficult to see Hu Jing curled up on the roof, falling into unconsciousness. Perhaps sensing the approaching zombie horde, the truck started up and drove away quickly.
You didn’t know that Hu Jing had quietly slipped away and went searching for her like a madman, even though the zombie horde was only about ten meters from you.
"Hey, I know where she is!"
At that moment, you heard a somewhat juvenile voice. You turned abruptly and saw a window lit up in a tall building on the diagonal side of the street, around the seventh floor or so. You looked closely and saw a young man, probably about seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features—a pretty boy. At the same time, the young man also shone a giant flashlight on you.
"Where is she?" you strode forward, putting some distance between yourself and the zombie horde.
"First, lead these zombies away, then I’ll tell you! She’s safe for now, at least for the moment, but if you don’t draw the zombies away, that might change." A sly look crossed the young man’s face. Of course, he hadn’t seen Hu Jing; his only intention was to have you draw the zombies away.
"Alright, I’ll come find you in a moment!"
You called out sharply, pulling the Ring Head Knife from behind your back and stepping boldly forward, swiftly taking down two zombies that lunged at you, then leading the horde in the opposite direction of the building.
"Oh my God, he’s actually not afraid of zombies, and he’s using a knife, sis, that guy might be from one of those hidden world sects, right?" Seeing that you really managed to lead the zombie horde away, the boy on the building couldn’t help exclaiming.
"Did you really see the person he’s looking for?" A somewhat magnetic female voice came from behind the boy.
"Well, actually I didn’t see her," the boy scratched his head.
"You can explain that to him yourself later. None of the people who move among the zombies is normal; I hope he won’t eat you up." The woman’s tone was devoid of any sentiment, sounding very cold.
"Sis, you’re my blood sister, for goodness’ sake, help me think of something. The zombies might not be able to come up here, but that doesn’t mean that madman won’t!" The boy hurriedly turned back to the woman inside the room.
Soon, a woman with short black hair, a pretty face, and a graceful figure approached the window sill. A seemingly powerful hand pressed the boy’s head down firmly: "I told you to mind your own business! We’re all struggling to survive, and you’re courting disaster; you’ll get us all killed one of these days!"
"First, turn off the light; hope that madman won’t find us." Once the boy had turned off the light, the woman whispered to the dark world below, "The first rain will come tomorrow, and after it stops, we must rush out of Yuhang City as soon as possible, or we will have no chance of survival."
"Don’t worry, hasn’t Old Yang been prepared for this? With that big guy, zombies are nothing to fear!" The boy’s words seemed very relaxed; it was obvious that he had not suffered much since the virus outbreak.
The girl didn’t say a word, just sighed deeply.
A few minutes later, there was a shout from below: "Hey! Anyone still on the seventh floor?"
"Damn, he actually made it back in one piece!" The boy turned on the searchlight, illuminating your position. By the light, the girl and the boy saw that you were covered in blood, looking like someone who had just run out of a pool of blood.
"I’m here!"
"Tell me, where is she?" You just blinked, and the view in front of you slowly stretched and enlarged. You saw two people, a man and a woman: the man was handsome and youthful, the woman was beautiful and cold.
"I see..." The boy started to casually point in a direction but was stopped by his elder sister.
The girl stopped the boy’s gesture and called down to you: "If you’ve lost a friend, I suggest you wait here for now. If she doesn’t show up after a few days, then it’s not too late to decide whether to stay or go."
"Are you deceiving me?" You stared coldly at the siblings above.
"It doesn’t matter if it’s a deception, we are merely kindly reminding you. If your friend has the same skills as you, she will definitely be able to escape the zombies’ chase. If not, please manage your sorrow." The woman’s tone remained cold, with a hint of chill.
You fell silent, thinking that there was some sense in the woman’s words. Hu Jing herself, having been infected with the zombie virus, did not have the scent of a human, and ordinary zombies would definitely not attack her. You also thought about the mysterious reagent you had given Hu Jing to drink; the reagent had suppressed the mutation, causing her to become half-human, half-zombie and even revealing a serpentine posture.
Arguably, Hu Jing’s survival skills in the midst of zombies were stronger than yours. All you could do now was wait, at least until dawn.
"Boom—"
Suddenly, a flash of lightning tore through the night sky, its brightness flickering, reflecting the already devastated city, and striking at the fragile psychology of humans.
"It’s about to rain, if you don’t want to die, you better find some place to take shelter quickly." After saying this, the woman left the windowsill.
Looking around, in front of you, opposite the high-rise, was an oddly shaped building surrounded by a fence. You looked carefully and saw two female zombies wandering in the distance, dressed in swimsuits, suggesting that the building might be a swimming complex.
Turning around, you found a car repair shop behind you, with a large advertisement board flashing the words "Ford Specialist". Thinking it was a repair shop, you quickly walked towards it.
The main gate of the repair shop was wide open, the recent loud boom had attracted most of the zombies inside. However, there were still some leftovers here; they could be described as crawler zombies because their lower halves had been devoured by other zombies, making them unable to move freely and forced to crawl dragging their arms across the ground. As if they had smelled the human scent on you, two male crawler zombies in work clothes, dragging their entrails and blood behind them, crawled towards you.
