[MTL, BL] The Little Beauty was Forced to Raise a Cub for The Corpse King

24

After coming back to his senses, Feng Yimo looked at Ji An and Ji Le and saw that the two little guys were looking at Ji Yanqing in front of them with all their attention. They had no intention of paying any attention to him anymore. He returned to the previous place with blank eyes. Place to sit against a tree.

It was already past nine in the morning when the team set up camp. Within half an hour after setting up camp, they faced the hottest time of the day.

The tree crown blocks the sun, and the air in the woods has more moisture than the city, but this still cannot prevent the heat from penetrating their bodies.

Soon, everyone was confused and drowsy in the sweltering heat.

It was quiet in the woods.

This time Ji Yan Qing slept very deeply and comfortably. When he gradually consciously felt the soreness coming from his completely rested body, he couldn't help but want to stretch.

He hasn't been so relaxed for a long time since the end of the world.

Ji Yan opened his eyes drowsily and saw the dark night. He gently stretched his sore shoulders.

As soon as he raised his hand above his head, his movements suddenly froze.

Night?

it's dark?

When did it get dark?

Ji Yanqing suddenly sat up from the ground. The sleepiness disappeared from his eyes and was replaced by wakefulness.

He looked ahead.

In the dark and strange woods, countless figures gather together in twos and threes or lie on their side sleeping soundly, and the atmosphere is peaceful.

That scene is extremely harmonious, if you don't look at where this is.

Ji Yanqing quickly got up from the ground. He picked up the ax that was lying beside him and glanced at Ji An and Ji Le who were sleeping soundly next to him, then quickly walked towards Xia Chenshu and Lan Zi.

Xia Chenshu and Lan Zi were resting under the same big tree. Xia Chenshu was half leaning on the roots of the tree, while Lan Zi was lying on his side with his body bent. Both of them were sleeping soundly.

"Xia Chenshu!" Ji Yan squatted down and shook Xia Chenshu's shoulders.

Xia Chenshu was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly called. He was confused for a while before opening his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Ji Yanqing's frown hidden under his goggles deepened. Xia Chenshu, who was usually not serious, was actually a very alert and reliable person. Even if he slept, he would not sleep so defenselessly. .

"Ji Yanqing?" Xia Chenshu sat up from the ground in confusion.

When Ji Yan saw him waking up, he quickly called Lan Zi next to him, "Lan Zi, wake up."

Lan Zi was even more confused than Xia Chenshu when he was called, and it took almost thirty seconds before he opened his eyes drowsily. "How..."

"Get up, there's a problem." Ji Yan stood up lightly.

He called the two of them loudly, but looking at everyone except Feng Yimo who had woken up, everyone else was still sleeping.

Ji Yanqing walked toward the others with the ax in his hand. Instead of calling people close to each other like before, he kicked those people directly on their calves.

Pain is the best word, and most of the people in the group were soon kicked awake by him.

When they woke up, a group of people sat on the ground in confusion for a while before finally realizing that something was wrong. For a moment, everyone in the forest was in panic.

"How could this happen?"

"Why is it so dark?"

"Damn it..."

"Damn it, where are the guards..."

Amidst the noise, everyone quickly discovered a bigger problem. They were short of people.

Ji Yanqing's team had a total of nine people, which could be ignored. Xue Gang's team had more than 300 people. They had occupied the entire open space before, but when they woke up again, their number was reduced by nearly half.

"Boss, we have fewer people." A man holding a gun looked at Xue Gang nervously.

Xue Gang, who had just woken up, was stunned for a moment before he realized what he meant. The other party was not talking about those insignificant trash, but the people he had shot.

Xue Gang immediately stood up from the ground and looked around in the darkness.

After being awakened and discovering something unusual, all his people were moving towards him.

His team originally had a total of twenty-four people, but now there are only seventeen or eighteen people approaching, six or seven less.

"Where's the gun?" Xue Gang immediately turned his head to look for it. If the person was gone, he could find someone to replace him. If the gun was gone, it was really gone.

The few people who were approaching him were stunned when they heard this and quickly looked around.

Ji Yanqing ignored Xue Gang's people. After waking everyone up, he quickly returned to Ji An and Ji Le. The two little guys had already woken up on their own.

They were very sleepy, and their little heads were pounding little by little, trying hard to prevent themselves from falling asleep again.

"No."

"Not here either."

"The duffel bags seem to be still there, but all the people are gone..."

"Tsk!" Xue Gang's face was dark. They only had about twenty guns in total, which was less now. Six or seven.

"Boss, what should we do now?" one of them asked.

"You don't have a fucking brain?

" After picking up the necessary things, everyone quickly headed towards the national highway.

Ji Yan put on his backpack lightly and headed towards the national highway with the two little guys.

As he approached the national highway, Xia Chenshu and Lan Zi approached him.

"There were no signs of dragging or struggling. Those people disappeared out of thin air." Xia Chen wrote.

Ji Yanqing had already noticed it.

"Could it be that they left on their own?" Lan Zi looked unhappy.

"Then how do we explain it?" Xia Chenshu asked.

If those people couldn't stand Xue Gang's abuse and left secretly so they didn't leave any traces, all this would indeed make sense, but what happened to them who fell into a deep sleep?

Those people put sleeping pills in their food?

In today's environment, let alone sleeping pills, you can't even find food. Who would be so bored and carry so many sleeping pills with you.

What's more, if those people were really dissatisfied with what Xue Gang had just done, then why didn't they just kill Xue Gang and steal their guns? It's not more of a one-and-done.

"It can't be that these woods can eat people..." Lan Zi smiled bitterly.

Xia Chenshu's lips moved, but he could not speak.

Seeing that Xia Chenshu was silent, Lan Zi couldn't laugh anymore.

In less than two minutes, everyone gathered on the empty national highway.

The number of people was half less than before. It was as dark as a national highway with a black and gray ribbon. On both sides, there were big trees that seemed to be much taller and more terrifying than during the day, as if they had come to life.

Standing on the national road, facing those big trees, everyone was trembling in the dark.

"Let's go." Xue Gang had no intention of looking for anyone. After giving the order, he took the lead and headed forward.

Ji Yan glanced at the two little guys who were following him closely, and quickly followed him. During his movements, he did not forget to carry back a certain man who was walking towards the forest where they had just been.

After what happened before, no one dared to take it lightly anymore. A group of more than a hundred people ran almost all the way on the national highway.

The night was very quiet. They were in the mountains but could not hear any insects or birds. The only sounds left in the world were their breathing and heartbeats, and the occasional creaking sound coming from the forest as if the trees were stretching their arms and legs. Yeah.

Nervous and uneasy emotions swirled in everyone's heart, and they also turned into motivation to make everyone run faster.

But even if fear is used as motivation, human physical strength has its limits. After running along the national highway for nearly forty minutes, the crowd gradually slowed down.

"Boss..."

Xue Gang ran forward quickly and looked at the person who called him.

"Boss..." The man's face, vaguely visible in the darkness, was pale, and his voice was unclear whether it was because his physical strength had reached its limit or because he was clearly trembling.

"Put it out quickly."

"Boss, the number of people in the team is wrong..."

After hearing what the man said, Xue Gang suddenly had a clever idea and stopped on the spot.

He stopped so suddenly that the person running behind him almost hit him.

After a commotion, everyone stopped.

The people in the large army panted heavily and were on guard around them. Xue Gang counted with a dark face.

After roughly counting everyone behind him, Xue Gang looked at the person who said the number of people was wrong before with red eyes.

"The number of people is really wrong. There were more than 170 of us just now, and..."

Xue Gang frowned and looked back. There were only about 150 people on the national highway at most.

"Have you counted before?" Xue Gang asked.

"No."

Xue Gang kicked him, "Then stop talking nonsense."

The man was kicked so hard that he fell off the national highway and approached the woods. He was startled and ran back to the national highway.

The others looked at each other in shock when they heard this, but no one said anything.

They left in a hurry, and no one counted how many people were left. If possible, they hoped that the number of people was wrong.

Behind the large team, Ji Yanqing made sure that Ji An and Ji Le had been following him obediently, and then took Feng Yimo back to his side to prevent him from entering the forest. He looked at Xia Chenshu and the others.

"Team Ji..." Lan Zi held the gun tightly in his arms, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Yeah." Ji Yan nodded softly, "It's really less."

In order to avoid being scattered, they ran at the end of the team and followed the people in front of them all the way down.

Logically speaking, they were always looking ahead. If someone disappeared in front of them, they would definitely notice it. But the fact was that until the person pointed out that there were missing people in their team, they did not notice that anyone was missing at all.

The smile disappeared from Xia Chenshu's face, "I'm careless. We didn't have any problems entering the forest before, so we didn't think much about it, but these ghosts have been evolving. Who knows what they will look like next." "

You mean..." Lan Ziben looked at the woods on both sides of the national highway.

Looking again, the tree trunks that either grow independently or twist together seem to have become alive.

The lines on the tree trunks are like faces, they are grinning, and the occasional small sound in the darkness becomes their laughter.

Lan Zi's Adam's apple slipped and he instinctively took a step back.

After retreating, she remembered that they were now in the mountains, surrounded by woods, and had nowhere to retreat.

002.

"Stop joking. These trees are dead. How can they really come to life..." Someone in front of Ji Yanqing heard their conversation and couldn't help but interrupt.

He spoke loudly, with clear fear in his voice.

They were in the mountains now. If it was as Xia Chenshu guessed, wouldn't they be in hell and destined to die?

Xue Gang in front heard it and jumped over the crowd to look at Ji Yanqing and the others.

He had taken the initiative to show his kindness to Ji Yanqing several times before but ignored him. His patience with Ji Yanqing had long since come to an end.

Xue Gang took a deep breath and tried to suppress his dissatisfaction. He wanted to target the gun in Ji Yanqing's hand, but now was not the time to attack. "Do you have any opinions?"

Xia Chenshu glanced at him and probably told his guess. Again.

"Come alive?" Xue Gang's face was quite ugly. He had already suspected this, but he never let himself think about it.

"It's not necessarily a job in the conventional sense." Xia Chenshu said, "Plants that prey on animals and insects are not uncommon." After hearing

this, everyone whose nerves had been stretched to the limit breathed out a little, as long as As long as these ghosts don't end up on the national highway.

"So as long as we don't go into the forest, we'll be fine?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

"Not necessarily." Ji Yan said lightly.

Everyone looked at him.

"It could be toxins or hallucinations." Ji Yan looked at the surrounding woods. He always had the illusion that something was staring at them in the darkness.

Xia Chenshu frowned, not quite understanding what Ji Yanqing meant.

Ji Yanqing looked at everyone, "Do any of you still remember how wide this mountain range is? I remember seeing it when we first entered the mountain. This mountain is only four or five mountains wide at most, but so far we have We have been walking in the mountains for most of the day."

They walked all morning in the morning, slept at noon and afternoon until dark, but just after waking up, they had been running fast in the mountains for more than an hour.

Even if they were slow, they should be able to see the end of the mountains by now.

After the crowd rustled for a while, someone soon raised his hand tremblingly, "I also remember that there were only four or five mountains in front of me. I was still thinking that if I went fast, I could pass before dark." "I also

remember. That's it..."

The darkness fell into dead silence again.

Everyone looked towards the front of the national highway.

They are now halfway up a mountain. The position is not very high but they can already see the distance clearly. But from their point of view, the distance is full of stretching mountains, and there is no end to the black mountains.

There was a moment of commotion in the crowd, but soon the commotion was swallowed up by darkness, leaving only darkness and silence.

Xia Chenshu frowned and thought, trying to figure out what was going on.

Lan Zi's expression was extremely ugly, which was beyond her comprehension.

Ji Yanqing looked at someone wearing a windbreaker and holding a long knife.

In the darkness, there was no trace of nervousness or anxiety on Feng Yimo's face. He was completely out of the situation. His pair of dark black eyes stared straight ahead, empty and lifeless, as if he had been struck by something and started to doubt. Life.

Ji Yan was speechless and thought he was a weirdo.

Ji Yan gently pulls Jian and Ji Le away to prevent them from being infected.

Protected by their sides, Ji An and Ji Le raised their little heads and looked at Ji Yanqing obediently.

"There is a high possibility that we are hallucinating. It could be the gas secreted by these trees or pollen or something like that..." Xia Chenshu broke the dead silence.

No one spoke, everyone just looked at him silently.

They are not interested in the reasons for this, the focus now is how they can get out of it.

If this continues, they may be trapped here for the rest of their lives, and with their food and water, they may only have two to three days left in their lives.

This is still the most ideal result, because the hallucination cannot explain what happened to the people who disappeared. No one can guarantee that all this is just an hallucination, and no one can guarantee that there are no other things in the woods, such as zombies.

If one of them has been bitten by a zombie and they are still hallucinating...

"If it doesn't work, let's set fire to this whole damn place!" said the bald-haired man.

The injuries to his eyes and the injuries he suffered when dealing with the awakened woman, coupled with the days of running away during this period, made his calves tremble and he had reached his limit.

"Set fire will burn us all to death here." Xia Chenshu looked coldly.

A vein twitched on the bald forehead, but he didn't say anything.

Xia Chenshu was right. If these trees were really set on fire, the high temperature of nearly a thousand degrees would be enough to bake them all inside the mountain.

The darkness returned to silence again, and everyone was helpless.

After a long time, someone suggested, "How about we go back?"

No one said anything. It didn't matter whether they were going forward or backward now, because they couldn't even guarantee that they were still on the national highway, and the national highway under their feet might also be theirs. I imagined it.

"Anyway, cover your mouth and nose first." Lan Zi said.

After being reminded, everyone rummaged through their backpacks, tore off their clothes, and wrapped their mouths and noses with cloth.

Covering their mouths and noses, the crowd fell into dead silence again.

"Boss..."

Hearing the familiar call, Xue Gang looked at the speaker with a cold face.

The person who called him was not the one before, but another person. The person's face was slumped and he was about to cry, "Wang Li is missing."

Xue Gang was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his head to look around. He said before that they Wang Li, who was missing a lot of people, had indeed disappeared.

"Wang Li?" Xue Gang called.

There was dead silence in the darkness, no one responded.

Xue Gang had a livid face and opened his mouth to curse, but when the words came to his lips, no sound came out, and his throat was dry.

The number of people who were sure they were indeed slowly dwindling away, and gradually there were sobs in the crowd.

"This mountain range is not far from the previous city." Ji Yan said softly.

Everyone looked at Ji Yanqing.

In the darkness, Ji Yanqing looked back behind him.

"The beast corpse king who was in the city before may still be in the city." Ji Yan said lightly.

"So?" Lan Zi was confused.

Xia Chenshu had already figured it out, and his eyes were shining.

"Let's shoot and attract it here. As long as it can destroy the forest, it doesn't have to be all destroyed. As long as it destroys a certain range, we can leave the surrounding of these trees." Ji Yan said lightly.

On one side is the Corpse King, on the other side is this ghost forest. No matter which side they are on, they are bound to die, but if they take a gamble, they might be able to find a way to survive.

Xue Gang nodded almost without thinking, "That's it!"

After saying that, he looked at the men with guns in his team, "You guys go to the front and shoot."

The faces of the people who were named Their upper muscles twitched. Once the shot was fired and the Beast Corpse King was attracted, they would definitely be the first target of the Beast Corpse King's attack.

Xue Gang is asking them to die.

"What are you still doing?" Xue Gang frowned.

The people looked at each other and walked forward along the national highway at their feet.

They didn't go too far. When they got down to the foot of the mountain, they immediately fired into the air.

The sound of gunfire was deafening, penetrating through the entire mountain forest, lifting everyone's spirits.

Everyone held their breath and listened, trying to hear the roar of the beast.

One minute or two passed, but they didn't hear the roar of the Beast Corpse King. Instead, they waited for the men who came to shoot.

After the shooting, they ran back, and they ran back to the main group without any problems.

No one said anything, everyone continued to wait.

Ten minutes later, after still not waiting for the roar, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Has the beast left the nearby urban area?

Xue Gang raised the gun in his hand and fired a burst of fire into the sky above his head. The sound of the gunfire was like thunder on the ground, and there was an echo in the distant valley.

Everyone frowned and waited, but ten minutes passed and they still didn't wait for anything.

The plan failed, and everyone who had had a glimmer of hope looked dead.

Despair spread, and the sobs became heavier than before.

"What about walking in a straight line? No matter what is going on here or what happened to us, we can always get out if we walk in a straight line..." Lan Zi looked at Ji Yanqing.

Ji Yanqing understood Lan Zi's meaning. He swallowed back his retort when it reached his lips. He glanced at Xue Gang and the others next to him. After pulling back someone who was walking on the wrong road with blind eyes, he took the lead and walked forward. go.

According to what Lan Zi said, he no longer walked along the national highway, but chose a direction to go straight.

Leaving the national highway and entering the jungle, the road under their feet suddenly became extremely difficult to walk. The uneven ground and various intricately protruding tree roots slowed them down.

Moving straight in one direction, they walked in the forest for about an hour. An hour later, they returned to the national highway again.

Standing on the national highway, everyone looked into the distance, and they were still surrounded by countless mountains.

Lan Zi was dumbfounded and didn't understand why it would be like this?

"If we are in an illusion, then no one can guarantee that we are walking on a straight path. The straight path we think is likely to be a detour." Xia Chenshu already understood it halfway.

"Then there's really nothing we can do..." Lan Zi looked around, with confusion deep in his eyes.

She thought that she might die in many ways, including being bitten to death by zombies, starving to death, dying of thirst, or dying of injuries, but how could she, and... "Hey, Xi" never thought that she would be trapped and die in a broken forest.

"Maybe we can still try." "Ji Yanqing looked at Xia Chenshu. He was very concerned about what Xia Chenshu just said.

"How to try?

"We are indeed in a hallucination now. " Ji Yan paused, "But theoretically speaking, hallucinations will only affect our vision, hearing, and smell." "

That's right. "

"What if you don't want these? " "

Xia Chenshu paused. At first he was confused, then he was surprised, and then he frowned deeply.

After two minutes, he looked up and said, "Maybe it can be done. Lan

Zi was puzzled.

Xia Chenshu explained without waiting for her to ask, "If the hallucinations we have now are because we see and hear things, then we just need not see or hear them." "

"so? Lan Zi vaguely understood.

"Find someone to walk forward with his eyes closed and his ears blocked. We will follow him." " Xia Chen wrote.

"Two." Ji Yan added lightly.

Hallucinations may also have a direct effect on the brain. One person may be affected and go astray, but if two people move forward at the same time, they will easily find the problem, and two people will be affected at the same time, causing them to go astray in the same direction. The probability is also much smaller.

"This method is feasible." Xia Chenshu looked at Xue Gang.

Xue Gang had a dark face from the beginning. The anger accumulated in his heart had reached its limit, but he was not the kind of person who only knew how to get angry. After thinking for a moment, he nodded.

Xue Gang looked at the people in his own team.

After listening to Ji Yanqing's words, everyone knew what to do next, and everyone looked away from Xue Gang.

Going forward with your eyes closed and your ears plugged up in this hellish place is almost like going to die, and who knows if it will still be the same group of people following them?

Or even more, still not human?

003.

Ji Yanqing looked at Xia Chenshu and the others, then swallowed his words as he spoke.

"I..." Lan Zi seemed to have said something. The first time, her voice was too soft and Ji Yanqing didn't hear it clearly. It wasn't until she took a deep breath and said the second time, "I'll..."

Ji Yanqing suddenly said Look.

Lan Zi smiled at him, her smile uglier than crying.

She knew that Ji Yanqing didn't trust Xue Gang's people, and neither did she or Xia Chenshu.

In this case, let them lead a group of people with their eyes closed. Those people may wander around at any time because of fear, and then tell them that this method will not work.

To be honest, Lan Zi was also scared, scared to death.

Just thinking about closing her eyes and plugging her ears and wandering around in such a ghost place made her calves tremble with fear.

But she also knew that, excluding Baldhead and Wu Yao, among the three remaining members of their team, Xia Chenshu, who knew how to use a gun, and Ji Yanqing, had the highest combat power among them, and she was the best choice.

As for Feng Yimo, not to mention the issue of trust, if Feng Yimo leads the way, then they will never even think about leaving in this life.

If Ji Yanqing hadn't been staring at him along the way, he would have disappeared.

Ji Yan's lips moved slightly, and he made a sound only the second time.

He looked into Lan Zi's eyes and told Lan Zi seriously, "I will protect you."

"Yeah." Looking at Ji Yanqing's eyes and listening to Ji Yanqing's serious words, Lan Zi smiled. Suddenly she wasn't so scared anymore.

If Ji Yanqing said he would protect her, he would definitely protect her.

It was because she knew that Ji Yanqing was this kind of person that she decided to leave with Ji Yanqing, even though she knew that she would suffer a lot.

None of the people on Xue Gang's side were willing. In the end, Xue Gang had no choice but to choose a man from among other ordinary people.

The selected person was about to burst into tears. If Xue Gang's gun hadn't been pressed against the head of his relative, he would have started crying.

After wrapping Lan Zi's eyes and plugging their ears, and tying two ropes to their bodies, everyone stood ready.

Xue Gang threw the backpack he took off the man's back to Feng Yimo's feet, the meaning was self-evident.

Their number was already half less than before, so the manpower they could use was naturally insufficient. Now among all the people, only Feng Yimo had empty hands.

Feng Yimo glanced at Xue Gang unhurriedly and ignored the backpack.

"You——" Xue Gang looked unkind and pointed the gun in his hand at Feng Yimo.

Ji Yanqing has a gun, how much face does he give him, but who does Feng Yimo count?

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Feng Yimo's eyes remained cold and unwavering, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.

Ji Yan took a step aside and stood in front of Feng Yimo. He handed the other end of the rope tied around Lan Zi's waist to Feng Yimo.

"Help me hold her." Ji Yan said lightly.

If it was before, he could still rely on Bald Head or Wu Yao, but now he has no other choice. Xia Chenshu and he must always be on guard to rush to protect Lan Zi at any time.

Feng Yimo's cold eyes swept over Xue Gang's face and ignored him.

After Xue Gang, his eyes stayed on Ji Yanqing's face for three seconds, raised his hand, and took the rope obediently.

The veins on Xue Gang's forehead jumped instantly.

Holding the rope and standing obediently, Feng Yimo, who had been out of the situation since the beginning, looked at Ji Yanqing with a confused look on his face.

Ji Yan had the slight urge to rub his eyebrows. He took a deep breath and roughly explained what they were going to do now and Feng Yimo's mission.

Feng Yimo listened very carefully, and from time to time he would look at the rope in his hand and then at Lan Zi. This look gave Ji Yanqing the illusion that he was teaching a large dog that didn't understand anything step by step.

After explaining, Ji Yanqian ignored Xue Gang, who had a gloomy face at the side, and asked Lan Zi and the others to take action.

Before the operation started, Lan Zi and the other man had been informed of the direction they were going to take. The direction they judged based on their approximate directions led to the opposite side of the mountain range.

When the action started, Lan Zi and the two men immediately groped forward slowly.

Their speed was very slow, and they were obviously uneasy and fearful. After several minutes, they only walked about ten meters.

But this method was undoubtedly useful, because soon Ji Yanqing and the others discovered that the two of them had deviated from the "front" they knew, and Lan Zi walked towards their right front one after the other.

Seeing the rope gradually tightening, the people following behind looked at each other and slowly followed.

Half an hour later, they completely deviated from their original "front" and were taken into a forest.

After walking down the mountain, Lan Zi and the other two led them towards the hillside on the right.

Everyone held their breath and watched all this with numbness.

Because Lan Zi and the others have been deviating to the right, and the deviation is getting worse and worse. From their eyes open, it looks like the two of them are leading them to draw a huge circle in the mountains.

After walking forward for nearly twenty minutes, they entered a slightly flat area.

Lan Zi and Lan Zi distanced themselves one behind the other, nearly a hundred meters apart, but their general directions were the same, and they were still moving strangely to their right.

The road became easier to walk, but Lan Zi and the two moved slower and slower, because as time went on, the uneasiness and fear in their hearts, which had been unable to hear or see for a long time and could only rely on intuition to act, had reached their limit.

The unknown and fear are enough to break people down.

Ten minutes later, the man among the two collapsed first.

he wailed, trying to untie the cloth from his face.

Xue Gang shot directly into the sky.

The sound of the gunshot was so loud that Lan Zi and the man trembled with fear when he fired it.

The sound of gunshots also made Lan Zi and the others calm down instantly. Although their fear did not disappear, it at least let them know that Ji Yanqing and the others were still following behind.

Lan Zi looked back. She touched the rope on her back to make sure it was still being pulled. Her whole body was shaking when she moved, and her exposed chin and lips were pale and bloodless. .

She didn't stop, she gritted her teeth and continued moving forward.

Seeing Lan Zi like that, Ji Yan pursed his thin lips and couldn't bear it. He held back and didn't shout to stop.

He looked away. Just as he was about to look to the left, his body was one step ahead of him and he suddenly turned his head to look to the right.

Feng Yimo moved at the same time as him, and he also looked over there.

Ji Yanqing paid no attention to Feng Yimo. He clenched the ax in his hand and looked to the right with all his concentration.

"Ji Yanqing?" Xia Chenshu noticed that he loaded the gun.

"There is something in the woods." Ji Yan said lightly.

Everyone was on guard and looked around, but Lan Zi, who still didn't know anything, continued to move forward.

Ji Yan took a quick look around, but didn't see anything around him. Apart from all kinds of weird and twisted tree trunks, there was only darkness.

Xia Chenshu moved closer to Lan Zi so as to knock him down at any time.

Following Lan Zi and the others, everyone walked forward for nearly five to six hundred meters, but still couldn't find anything in the forest.

Xue Gang glanced at Ji Yanqing, reproachful.

Ji Yanqing frowned, a little unsure whether he had made a mistake.

Xia Chenshu did not relax his vigilance, he chose to believe Ji Yanqing.

The team continued to move forward, and after walking for another twenty minutes, everyone saw a "figure" in front of them.

The moment they saw that figure, a chill ran down everyone's spine.

The figure looked like a person leaning his head at 90 degrees to look at them from behind the tree. That posture was beyond what humans could do, and normal people would not look at people in that posture.

"Ji Yanqing..." Xia Chenshu's Adam's apple slid, even though he couldn't stand this weird scene.

Ji Yan remained silent. After glancing at Ji An and Ji Le, he walked around Lan Zi who was in front of him and stepped forward.

The other party remained motionless and kept looking at them sideways.

Ji Yanqing slowly approached alone. Every time he took a step forward, the sweat on his forehead became more intense. When he was only three meters away from the person, his forehead and palms were already covered with sweat, and his heart was racing to the limit.

As Ji Yanqing approached nervously, he realized that it was not a human being.

To be more precise, that thing was once a human being, but now it is not.

It was the body of a zombie. His neck and head were intact, but his lower body from the abdomen down was twisted into tree roots. He died because the tree roots that had grown into his body absorbed all the water and nutrients alive.

Ji Yan retreated lightly.

Seeing Ji Yan retreat slightly, the others behind him looked around blankly.

A few minutes later, Lan Zi, who didn't know anything, passed by the man. The others gradually got closer, and they finally saw what it was.

Before they could figure out what was going on, more and more corpses appeared one after another on the ground, at the foot of trees, or pulled up into the air by tree roots.

After walking forward for another ten minutes, looking around, the woods around them looked like a huge hell, filled with all kinds of weird zombie corpses.

Facing this strange scene, the group of people following behind began to fear.

"What's the fuss about?" Xue Gang didn't let everyone stop and continued to move forward.

This time Ji Yanqing agreed.

Zombies will not grow out of nowhere in the deep mountains and wild forests. The presence of zombie corpses means that there are towns or villages not far away. This means that their method is effective and they are indeed approaching outside the mountains.

Ji Yanqing and Xia Chenshu looked at each other. Xia Chenshu had obviously thought of this. He nodded and became more nervous and alert.

After looking at each other with Xia Chenshu, Ji Yanqing looked at Feng Yimo who was holding the rope. He was led by the rope, but he didn't stray anymore.

Lan Zi didn't know what was around them. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat and she was groping awkwardly to continue moving forward.

She was also about to collapse and her body was shaking violently.

As they moved forward, after another ten minutes, the tree trunks in front of them gradually became visible through the lens of the building.

The moment they were sure that those things were indeed buildings, everyone let out a long breath of relief, and faint sounds of crying could be heard from the crowd behind them.

Ji Yanqing and Xia Chenshu did not relax their vigilance and paid full attention to their surroundings to ensure that no zombies would escape.

After walking forward for another ten minutes, they arrived at the edge of the woods.

At the end of the woods is the city. To be more precise, the woods grow into the city.

The side of the city close to the mountains should be a botanical park. The virus broke out and the plants mutated and grew wildly. The mutated trees formed a forest, and part of the streets and parks were included in the woods.

No zombies were seen in or near the entire park.

After confirming that the area was safe, the others immediately accelerated and ran towards the city. At that moment, even the zombies in the city became cuter than the woods behind them.

Ji Yanqing and Xia Chenshu immediately stepped forward and quickly untied the cloth from Lan Zi's face, leading her to follow the others.

Xue Gang immediately took a lighter and lit fires everywhere, intending to burn the entire forest.

Seeing the fire spread, Xia Chenshu frowned, "The others may still be alive."

Xue Gang looked angry, "Do you think they can still come out alive?"

Xia Chenshu frowned.

"Let's go." After lighting the fire, Xue Gang led his people and ran quickly towards the city.

Xia Chenshu glanced at the fires, pulled Lan Zi and left.

I ran forward for more than ten minutes in one breath until I entered the city.

When they saw familiar zombies in the alleyway, they found a nearby residential building and went upstairs. They found a room on the third floor with an open door and squeezed into it.

After confirming that it was safe, Lan Zi couldn't hold it back and huddled in the corner holding her knees and crying bitterly.

Her cry was different from Ji An Jile's. Although it also contained restraint and forbearance, her cry was more of despair and collapse. The despair that had been suppressed in her heart in the forest and the despair of this end of the world.

Ji Yanqing sat on the ground beside her and listened quietly.

Ji An and Ji Le had never seen an adult cry like this in front of them. Their eyes were wide open, full of worry and confusion.

Ji An dared to touch Lan Zi's head gently, "Don't cry, don't cry..."

Ji Le also touched her. His eyes were as red as a little rabbit, filled with tears.

They like Lan Zi very much. They know that Lan Zi is the second favorite person in the team. Lan Zi sometimes even gives them food.

Although Lan Zi and Ji Yanqing are different, Lan Zi is a good person.

Being comforted, Lan Zi cried even harder.

Ji An and Ji Le were frightened. They looked at Ji Yanqing helplessly with red eyes. They couldn't understand why they comforted Lan Zi but Lan Zi cried even harder.

Ji Yan waved to them lightly, and the two little guys immediately threw themselves into his arms.

The two little guys' bodies were small and warm, and they felt warm when they were hugged. They hugged them and felt that they didn't want to see others cry and secretly wiped away their tears. Ji Yanqing's heart became soft and full.

Ji Yan gently touched the heads of the two little guys.

No one spoke, and for a while the only sound left in the room was Lan Zi's crying.

Feng Yimo was just thinking about what went wrong in all this, when he found Ji An in Ji Yanqing's arms peeking at him.

Ji Ambi's complexion improved a lot when he found him in that building. His little face was no longer as white as after being devoured by fear and severe pain, and his lips became blood-colored.

Especially those eyes, which had been swallowed by death, regained their vitality. They were black and white, wet and red.

Being watched secretly, Feng Yimo sat up straight.

He didn't know what the problem was, but he believed Ji An would recognize him.

Ji An sniffed and stretched out his hand. He secretly grabbed Ji Yanqing's clothes and pulled them toward him. Feng Yimo sat on Ji Yanqing's clothes.
