Chapter 27: Conducted Yourself Well

In her frenzy, Gu Xiaotong failed to hear the others’ warnings. Her current state was akin to a ferocious beast without a hint of human nature. She continued to scratch and rub her face fiercely. She seemed to be oblivious to pain, and it was evident that her mental faculties had collapsed.

A trace of pity suddenly flashed through Chu Han’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.

He had seen countless situations in his previous incarnation: madness, crying, and desperation… Everything in the eschatology had caused human beings to despair. There was no viable solution to help Gu Xiaotong under such a situation even if she wasn't infected. Besides, such a fragile mind wasn't suitable for this world, and she would inevitably die or turn mad.

‘Even if it’s torture, just enjoy your final moments!’ Chu Han sighed inwardly.

Chu Han recovered his usual intelligence, and he turned his gaze towards the survivors again.

”Who else has been bitten or scratched by a zombie?” Chu Han questioned, his eyes glimmering with a cruel, fierce light.

One sentence silenced the entire hall

n.o.body answered him. The survivors’ fearful gazes were transfixed on the center. The body of Zhang Ziyu lay motionless on the ground, and dark blood trickled slowly out of his head. The scene of Zhang Ziyu suddenly transforming into a zombie terrified them. Just before, he was a fellow human cursing along with them, but he had abruptly transformed into a zombie in the next second!

Gu Xiaotong turned even more crazy. She lost all sense of reason and began slamming the ground with her head desperately.

The feeling of encountering zombies while exploring the changed Earth, and the feeling of the surrounding people transforming into zombies were different. n.o.body could accept this change which challenged the baseline.

”Just tell me,” Chu Han spoke calmly, although his tranquil visage seemed to signal the calm before the storm, ”out of you guys… who is infected?”

As he spoke, Chu Han raised his axe slightly higher, and a murderous light gleamed off the sharp edge.

”No, I'm not infected!” A survivor shook his head panickedly.

”Neither am I! The zombies didn't touch me! Not even a single strand of hair!”

”I'm not infected!”

All the survivors denied any form of physical contact with the zombies since they could predict their unpleasant fate if they admitted to being infected.

However, Chu Han did not believe them.

Lying and hiding were natural reactions for someone who had been bitten or scratched by a zombie. They would not tell others; even their children, friends, and parents were no exception to this!

”You!” Suddenly Jia Chunjie shouted and pointed at a middle-aged man: ”Did you get scratched by a zombie? I just saw it.”

”Bulls.h.i.+t! You're just a fat guy spouting bulls.h.i.+t!” The middle-aged man’s eyes reddened, and he shouted loudly.

”You're the one who’s trying to trick us!” Jia Chunjie’s eyes also reddened in anger. He stared at the crowd and suppressed his panic before saying, ”I saw it. You are infected!”

”f.u.c.k! I will kill you!” The middle-aged man roared crazily and swung at Jia Chunjie with his fist.

These two people carried on brawling without showing any mercy. They just wanted to kill each other. The surrounding survivors didn’t intervene in the dispute; they eyed the people in their vicinity warily and kept their distance from each other.

*Cough cough!* Suddenly, Gu Xiaotong spat out a mouthful of blood and convulsed, collapsing to the ground. Her chafed skin lost its b.l.o.o.d.y hue at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chu Han pursed his lips. The zombie virus rapidly progressed to the next stage, and Gu Xiaotong had started to zombify.

Jia Chunjie and the middle-aged man stopped fighting at the same time and everyone’s gazes were focused on the p.r.o.ne Gu Xiaotong. They silently watched as she convulsed a

nd red blood surged out from her mouth like a gus.h.i.+ng spring
