Chapter 686: Chapter 686 Approaching_1

"Da-da! Da-da-da!"

"It’s a machine gun! Those people are out looking for stuff again!" Hearing the sound of the machine gun, Zhao Jun’s face clearly changed.

"Who?"

"The bastards from inside Qingshan Lake, they send people out every few days to look for food or other necessities. They also take any survivors they come across back with them." Zhao Jun’s face showed some panic.

"Isn’t that good, what are you afraid of?" you asked.

"The problem is they won’t treat you like a person. To them, survivors are just tools, or even animals! I saw them with my own eyes, gang-raping a girl on the spot and then chopping her boyfriend into several pieces while he was still alive!" With the gunfire getting closer, Zhao Jun hurriedly pulled you into an alley, "Let’s go quickly, we can’t let them catch us, or it’s all over!"

Humans without restraint are like beasts, no, they are even more terrifying than beasts. You deeply understood this, and both of you tried your best to avoid any conflicts with them.

"Roar—"

Suddenly, a roar halted your and Zhao Jun’s steps. Ahead of you, a huge zombie blocked their way. Just standing there, it was like a tall wall that couldn’t be climbed over.

"T2!" You quickly pulled out a pure steel hunting arrow from the quiver on your back and immediately aimed for the T2’s eye socket. That was your habit; you believed the eyes of all animals were fragile, without exception!

When the T2 spotted you, it roared and charged towards you. As it ran, you felt the ground shaking beneath you.

You slowly raised your head, with your right index finger lightly resting on the trigger.

"Brother, wait a second!" Zhao Jun urgently grabbed you, "Brother, let’s lure this monster over to those bastards and let them fight to the death with it!"

"Roar!!!" The T2 was approaching rapidly, yet you didn’t run away; instead, you stepped forward two paces.

"Whoosh!"

The pure steel hunting arrow shot out from the bowstring. Your peculiar vision appeared once again. At that moment, you became one with the arrow, cutting through the air and whistling as it went straight into the T2’s right eye socket. "Puchi!" The arrowhead emerged from the back of T2’s head!

"Damn, Brother, you killed it just like that?" Zhao Jun couldn’t believe his eyes; your archery was too accurate!

And he also admired your composure deeply. Who else could shoot such a stable arrow in such a desperate situation?

"Do you think this is a movie where the T2 will fight the enemy according to your wishes? What if they all come after you? Who’s going to cover for your escape then? If we had listened to you, both of us would’ve been finished!"

"Da-da-da!"

At that moment, a military jeep zoomed past. You, with your sharp eyes, noticed that no one on the jeep was shooting; instead, they were using loudspeakers to broadcast!

"Roar!" A zombie turned into the alley, and at the same time, the two of you spotted a large group of zombies following the jeep.

"What are they doing?" Zhao Jun asked.

"Who knows, but it’s none of our business, let’s go!"

You loaded a steel ball, fired it off, and then turned to leave. Under Zhao Jun’s envious gaze, the steel ball exploded into a stunning spray of blood on the head of a zombie that moved as fast as a human!

Your luck was unusually good today. The jeep equipped with loudspeakers had lured away almost all the fast-moving zombies in the area, leaving only the slow-moving ones behind. Many were missing limbs and weren’t much of a threat, perfect for Zhao Jun to practice his archery on.

You and Zhao Jun plundered two clinics that were close by and also came out carrying two large bags of food.

"Brother, we need to leave quickly; the person just now lured the zombies away, probably to make it easier for others to clear out the area,"

You nodded, "Of course we can’t stay here, we’ll go through the fields!"

"Okay!"

You and Zhao Jun had a particularly smooth journey back, as all the threatening zombies around had been lured away. However, the two of you were still exceedingly cautious. By the time they got back to the Raptor pickup, dusk had fallen.

"You’re finally back! Come quickly and look at my cousin, she’s running a very high fever!" Maya hurried down from the truck as soon as she saw you.

"Xiaobao, you go," you said.

Xiaobao was the nickname you’d given to Zhao Jun because he was as quick-witted with his words as Wei Xiaobao.

Upon seeing Maya, Zhao Jun suddenly became extremely polite and even a bit gentlemanly. He nodded to Maya and said with a restrained smile, "Hello, my name is Zhao Jun, I am a doctor."

"You’re a doctor? That’s wonderful!" Maya, who was frantic over Zeng Yike’s condition, didn’t even notice that Zhao Jun was wearing a high school uniform, "Doctor, please take a look at my cousin!"

"Sure," said Zhao Jun, and he specifically turned to look at you, "Mr. Li, may I have the medical bag from your back?"

"Get lost, don’t play the fool in front of me!" You threw the medicine-filled bag over to him with a laugh and a curse, then sat down with a bottle of mineral water to rest.

You were indeed tired. Leaning against a tree trunk, you quickly fell into a deep sleep. When you woke up, you found Zhao Jun and Maya chatting by a fire not far away, looking like they were having a lively conversation, with Maya occasionally letting out a silly chuckle. You stood up and walked over.

"Brother, you’re awake?"

"Mhm, how is Sister Zeng doing?" You sat down.

"After I applied the medication, she fell asleep. She has taken the fever reducer and the anti-inflammatory, so she should recover after a few days of rest."

"You’re really something, I didn’t expect you’d actually manage to find us a doctor like this," Maya said with a joyful laugh. This was probably the happiest she had been since the outbreak of the virus.

You chuckled and said, "No need for any extra words, we all understand the current situation very well. The zombies are evolving; they now possess the ability to move like humans, so from now on, if we encounter zombies and we don’t have a car, the only option is to kill them, not run away."

You looked at Zhao Jun and Maya and smiled, "Zhao Jun says there’s a survivor’s camp nearby. I’ll take you there first thing tomorrow morning."

Zhao Jun seemed to want to say something, but after glancing at Maya, he fell silent again. Both harbored their own thoughts, occasionally stealing glances at each other.

The next day, with Zhao Jun guiding, you drove through the rocky, winding mountain paths. In reality, the survivor’s camp wasn’t far from your location, but the road there was blocked by many cars, and there were numerous zombies along the way. The only way to reach the camp was through the mountains.

The four of you were silent throughout the journey. After taking her medication last night, Maya’s fever had subsided this morning. Despite still seeming weak, she had no issues walking on her own.

Zeng Yike was in worse shape, and because most of the mountain roads were rough and without paths, the car couldn’t advance, and you had to go by foot. Fortunately, with two men present, Zhao Jun and you took turns carrying Zeng Yike. After taking her medication, Zeng Yike had been drowsy, muttering incoherently, mostly calling out her boyfriend’s name—Chen Hui.

"Maya, what kind of person was Chen Hui to make your cousin miss him so much?" During a break under the shade of a tree at noon, Zeng Yike was lying on the grass constantly calling out Chen Hui’s name.

"I don’t know much about him. My cousin told me that Chen Hui was her colleague. He was someone who could endure hardship. My cousin lives simply and never spends extravagantly, as you can see from the lack of any fancy jewelry on her hands. She has a strong aversion to those tall, rich, and handsome types. Even though many pursued her, she ended up with Chen Hui. They were actually on a pre-wedding vacation. They planned to register their marriage on the Eleventh, but nobody expected this to happen. At that time, to save my cousin and me, Chen Hui drew the zombies away by himself, allowing us to escape from the hotel, but we didn’t expect to end up like this... sob..."

As she recounted the heartbreaking past, the usually cheerful Maya also cried.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s all in the past. Aren’t you still doing fine?" Zhao Jun quickly patted Maya’s back, comforting her in a gentle voice.

Maya, overwhelmed by emotion, could not hold back and burst into tears in Zhao Jun’s arms, crying like a torrential downpour.

Watching Zhao Jun and Maya, you couldn’t help but feel a pang of emotion in your heart. You looked up at the sky and softly called Hu Jing’s name, "Fox Fairy, where in the world are you?"
