Chapter 355: 354 Exquisite Egoism

After a while, Xin Qiuru came with Tu Lijia to check on the wards.

Yang Honglin and Liu Shengyuan followed them in as well.

A small, single-patient room was crowded with people.

Hua Mi seriously briefed everyone,

"These low-level Mutant Beasts no longer have thoughts or emotions. All that’s left in them are their most primitive instincts, so if you see them, don’t doubt, just kill them on sight."

Because these Mutant Beasts were mutated from humans, they retained human forms.

But they were not human.

"If they mate with other species, they will have characteristics of both humans and animals."

"Don’t be deceived by their appearance, treat them like you would Zombies. The only difference is that these creatures can reproduce."

Hua Mi informed everyone in the ward about the characteristics of the Mutant Beasts.

The most pressing matter now was to take down that bus.

Because currently, the mutated species were only occurring between humans.

They were not so complicated yet, at least with human traits; however hard to deal with, it’s still manageable.

But if it were to spread to other species, the combination of human and animal traits would exponentially increase the difficulty.

After everyone had taken their respective places and gone about their tasks, Hua Mi pulled out the little table from the hospital bed and started writing a draft for an internal report.

Xin Qiuru frowned beside her,

"I had you admitted to the hospital to let you rest a bit, to take care of yourself and prepare for childbirth. How can you rest if you’re busy all the time?"

Hua Mi put down her pen, looking helpless,

"I can’t help it. I just keep thinking that I can’t bear to see this place, these people, destroyed or dead."

In her past life, she wouldn’t have cared about the lives or deaths of those around her.

She wouldn’t have cared about the environment either.

In this life, one just needs to have a clear conscience.

But in this life, she had built Xiang City Base with her own hands and personally selected her friends.

How could she bear to see this place, these people, perish in the apocalypse?

After all, in extreme environments, beautiful things vanish too easily.

Xin Qiuru saw Hua Mi starting to shake her pen again, sighed, and instructed Tu Lijia to take good care of her.

She then turned to check on the other wards.

Just as Xin Qiuru left, Shi Caixia returned with two axes on her back, anxiously saying to Hua Mi,

"Zhong Zimo isn’t answering his phone."

During this period, Zhong Zimo would send a message to Shi Caixia every day.

Because Zhou Cheng was very concerned, Shi Caixia never replied to Zhong Zimo’s messages.

Now, trying to get in touch with Zhong Zimo, they found themselves disconnected from him.

Hua Mi frowned while listening, "Not picking up at all? I’m afraid it’s more likely to be bad news."

"Now we can only hope for the driver behind the wheel; hopefully, Gong Yi can get there in time."

There were matters of different levels of urgency. The Zombies in D City, no matter how many, were within controllable limits.

However, the busload of Mutant Beasts commandeered by Vasily had clearly gone beyond the scope of control.

Therefore, as soon as Gong Yi received Hua Mi’s message, he rushed to E City to find that driver.

At this moment, Zhong Zimo, who had been unreachable, frowned as he looked at the empty driver’s seat.

He took out his phone, intending to contact the driver who had run off.

Despite having given enough money, when he returned from gathering supplies, the driver was nowhere to be found...

Zhong Zimo was prepared to give the missing driver a furious scolding.

The phone signal was a big X.

Zhong Zimo cursed under his breath as he realized his Universal Signal Connector had gone missing at some point.

This little gadget was quite handy but also prone to falling off, just like a low-quality phone stand because of its poor adhesion.

Zhong Zimo expressionlessly pocketed his phone, thinking it might be for the best as he had already spent all the money in his possession to cover the cost of this vehicle.

The funds in his original C City account were also depleted.

Money devalued at a rate beyond his imagination in this environment.

Zhong Zimo looked up numbly at Vasily and the several assassins.

He suddenly felt something was off.

Lately, due to the melting snow and the blockage on the AE Highway, their journey to E City, seeking refuge with Chen Hu, had been exceptionally tough.

Numerous obstacles had completely distracted Zhong Zimo from any odd behavior from Vasily and his group.

It had only been a few days since he left the bus.

When he returned after gathering supplies, why had the women’s bellies all become swollen?

Also, when he left, Vasily and his men were having sex, and on his return, they were still at it...

At this moment, Zhong Zimo was staring at the people in the vehicle with surprise.

All of a sudden, Vasily looked up with his cloudy, lifeless eyes toward Zhong Zimo.

Zhong Zimo, who was outside the car window, was startled.

He couldn’t understand how Vasily and the others, who had been so engrossed in their debauchery, had changed so drastically.

All he knew was that it was time to run.

To run as fast as he could.

Zhong Zimo’s actions startled Vasily inside the vehicle.

Several Mutant Beasts, naked, crashed toward the windows.

They didn’t even know how to open a door.

The scent of food drove them mad, and the physical condition of Vasily and company, even as humans, was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

It didn’t take many hits before the window shattered and several Mutant Beasts tumbled out of the bus.

Zhong Zimo ran swiftly ahead, dropping all the hard-earned supplies as he went.

By the time he reached the highway, he could see both E City and A City.

Running to E City was closer, but A City, being near Xiang City, would potentially have Garrison and police presence once he reached the Xiang A Highway.

Heading to E City, on the other hand, Chen Hu was no sure ally.

After little struggle and driven by his refined self-interest, Zhong Zimo sprinted toward A City without hesitation.

Halfway there, he was lucky to find a bicycle, which led him to a gas station’s garage where he found a car.

Then, with an intact car, he headed straight for Xiang City Base.

Thanks to the construction of Xiang City Base, the original Xiang A Highway had been cleared.

Thus, on his way, Zhong Zimo made a beeline, leading several male Mutant Beasts towards Xiang City.

He drove faster than the Mutant Beasts, and only when he saw other survivors on the road did he begin to feel a bit more at ease.

However, he didn’t greet any of the other survivors.

He sped past the survivors without a word or warning of any kind.

At the barbed wire fence of Xiang City Base, Zhong Zimo was forced to stop the car he was driving.

A Garrison member brandishing an AK47 shouted at him,

"Why are you driving so fast? What happened behind you? Speak up!"

The latest internal briefing hadn’t been issued yet, but the past briefings had repeatedly warned countless times.

Once the snow melted, the Zombies would swarm out and head toward Xiang City.
