Chapter 55 (2/2)

As the sky grew darker, a large number of densely packed zombies appeared in front of them in a dark spread. There were countless numbers of them, and amongst them there were a few whose movements seemed to be more agile and rapid than the rest.

Qin Yi’s eyes were as sharp as knives. He quickly turned the leading car around, and swept a cold gaze over Yu Yue. This road had been chosen by him, and he had guaranteed that it would be safe.

“I don’t know what happened either. I clearly felt that there would be no danger.” Yu Yue grabbed his head and looked irritable. No wonder it felt like there was no danger on the road – it looked like all the zombies were gathered together. But the zombies did not have the ability to think… Surely they weren’t holding a party here?

“Quickly retreat.” Qin Yi shouted into the walkie-talkie as he pressed down on the gas and sped up. He had heard the young master’s words this morning about ability user zombies in the area. Even if he was still uncertain about it in his heart, the closely packed zombies were not something that they could cope with. They could only use guerrilla tactics to submerge them.

“To the left.” Yu Ye spoke in a hurry. His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and there was a throbbing pain in his brain.

The car swerved left and right, and shook violently. Their cars jolted along the road as they fled from a small road to the left. Qin Yi’s car that had originally been in front was now last, the zombies behind them were getting closer and closer.

Yang Chonghui and Liu Hui had also woken up. Their eyes grew wide as they looked behind them. Liu Hui covered her mouth and exclaimed, “It’s Wang Qi—”

Bai Jing’s heart sank: “Was he an ability user?”

Liu Hui nodded and said in a rush, “I recognize him. He was the one who broke down the building’s steel door.”

Bai Jing narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked into the distance. The zombie’s eyes were dull and grey, but his face was neater than that of the corpses beside him, and not rotten at all. No, that’s not right, there were more than a dozen zombies in the same state as Wang Qi.

“Pooh!” Yu Yue suddenly vomited blood. His face was twisted in pain. His pupils contracted and suddenly turned gold, as though thin rays of light were emitting in all directions from his eyes.

Cao Lei nimbly chopped down on Yu Yue’s neck even as Xiao Sa’s voice sank. “Take a detour and go on the right side.”

Qin Yi had no time to think. He just obeyed orders and hastily turned right. The vehicles in front of him also turned around and daringly rushed to the right.

Bai Jing’s expression was black. Killing intent flashed across his eyes and he ruthlessly said: “Someone was behind this. They have first-level power users.”

“Who would know our whereabouts?” Xu Lei was puzzled. They had been very careful this entire journey, and the routes they decided on had been arbitrary. Who could prepare an ambush ahead of time?

Bai Jing turned his head and looked at Wang Xuebing. Xiao Sa also looked at him.

“I…” Wang Xuebing pointed to his nose and did not understand.

Xu Lei realized in an instant, “Somebody knew that we are going to L Province. This was the only route we could take.” But she didn’t get it, if it had been a human ambush that would have made sense, but how could it be a large group of zombies? Was there someone who could manipulate the zombies?

Wang Xuebing opened his mouth. He had just recalled that he might indeed have told others about their destination.

Cao Lei sighed and took his lover’s hand, fearing that he would think too much again. He knew that the young master wouldn’t be too particular about this, and quickly shifted the topic, “They have a psychic ability user.”

Wang Xuebing was stunned and looked at the comatose Yu Yue: “He…”

Cao Lei nodded and explained, “For Yu Yue’s judgment to be wrong, he must have been screened by another psychic power. Judging by his state just now, it appears he was attacked.”

Wang Xuebing’s face was unsightly: “You mean to say that somebody led the zombies here, and then gave Yu Yue an illusion so that we would step into their trap. They have no reason to do this. Why would they do it?”

“They’ve caught up. There’s a lot of them…” Qin Hao forced himself to be calm. He was so agitated he wanted to cry, his hands were sweaty, and his body trembling with fear. He was only a child who had not yet reached eighteen. Although their car was now in front, zombies were about to catch up to the cars behind them.

“Shut up unless you’re contributing!” Bai Jing called out coldly. He had not yet made his move when Xiao Sa directly opened the window, letting the bitter wind blow in.

“Bang!” A loud noise sounded.

“Ah—“ There was a cry from the car behind them. A zombie had jumped with amazing speed on top of the last car in line and began to hit it relentlessly.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The car swerved, turning left and right as it slowed down.

“Bang—“ Another zombie jumped onto the roof.
