Jiang Shuyu huddled in a corner with others, afraid to look at the surrounding zombies. Fear and terror made her body tremble uncontrollably.
When the young man fell off the wall, she reached out without hesitation to try to save him, but ultimately failed to rescue him and fell off the wall herself.
Perhaps because of excessive fear, she immediately lost consciousness.
Jiang Shuyu didn’t regret it; without the young man, she would have died long ago.
Dying like this was at least a bit more dignified.
But she didn’t expect that she didn’t die; instead, she became a reserve food for the zombies.
It might have been better to be bitten to death directly, but the zombies kept them captive, seemingly waiting to eat them when they were hungry.
Fear and death constantly occupied Jiang Shuyu’s mind, making her spirit somewhat on the verge of collapse.
Moreover, she didn’t find the young man among the crowd; perhaps the zombies had eaten him the moment he fell off the wall.
This made Jiang Shuyu even more desperate; she would rather it was herself who died.
No, dying at the moment of falling off the wall seemed better; at least she wouldn’t have to worry and be afraid anymore.
After all, her current situation was not much better; she was going to die sooner or later.
Jiang Shuyu looked numbly towards the nearby area, where lay the remains of someone who had been bitten by zombies.
The bodies eaten by zombies would mutate into zombies, but the remnants there were only bones left, and the head was nowhere to be found.
So they didn’t mutate into zombies.
But those remnants must have carried the zombie virus.
Instead of waiting for a death without a complete corpse, it was better to be relieved directly.
Jiang Shuyu’s eyes were full of determination, and then she slowly moved over.
However, halfway through, she inadvertently saw a familiar figure by the window, and Jiang Shuyu froze directly at the sight.
...Was it her hallucination?
She seemed to have seen that young man who resembled the morning sun.
Jiang Shuyu tightly pinched her thigh, the pain making tears well up in her eyes. She looked towards the window again.
That figure was still there, even gesturing towards her.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuyu burst into tears instantly, as if crying out all the fear and terror of the past few hours.
But the next moment, she wiped away her tears, suppressing the grievance and fear, and returned to the crowd.
She couldn’t die, at least not like this.
Jiang Shuyu glanced at the figure by the window, her eyes firming with determination.
***
Ruan Qing noticed Jiang Shuyu’s intention as she moved aside, feeling relieved that she finally saw him.
He watched as Jiang Shuyu, who had given up seeking death, breathed a sigh of relief.
There were too many zombies. Once she sought death, they would definitely discover her, and what awaited her would be being gnawed to death by zombies.
Ruan Qing hadn’t expected Jiang Shuyu not to die, but perhaps this was the best scenario.
The talisman required one’s blood to be dropped onto it to activate. Ruan Qing, in order to save a bit of time, planned to activate it only at the last moment.
But he didn’t expect it to be taken away before he could activate it.
In other words, the talisman should still be in an unactivated state.
If the talisman was still on Jiang Shuyu, then there was a possibility of escaping.
Ruan Qing tried to communicate with Jiang Shuyu.
However, they were too far apart, and Jiang Shuyu had never learned sign language, so she couldn’t understand what he was gesturing.
Ruan Qing could only give up.
Just as Ruan Qing was about to leave the window, he saw many zombies stiffly walking towards the group of humans.
Ruan Qing was initially puzzled, but when he saw Jiang Shuyu desperately trying to squeeze into the crowd, he understood.
The zombies were preparing to feast.
However, it was easy to squeeze out, but difficult to squeeze in.
The zombies always pull humans from the outer layer to devour them, so everyone was desperately squeezing inward.
Jiang Shuyu was small and hadn’t eaten for a long time, so she simply couldn’t push past others.
After struggling for half the day, she’s still on the outermost layer.
Jiang Shuyu watched the approaching zombies, tears blurring her vision.
It seemed she couldn’t help the young man anymore.
Just when Jiang Shuyu thought she was going to die, a clear and familiar voice sounded.
“Stop.”
After hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Shuyu looked toward the source of the sound, where a familiar figure stood on the second-floor corridor.
Looking right at her.
Jiang Shuyu immediately rushed toward the zombie in front of her, grabbing its legs and urgently shouting upstairs, “Don’t mind me, run!”
Making noise would attract the zombies, especially since Jiang Shuyu also rushed up to hug the zombie.
It’s as good as seeking death.
However, the zombies didn’t even look at Jiang Shuyu. Instead, after the figure appeared upstairs, they excitedly looked up and made excited noises.
“Hehe.”
“Hehe.”
Although zombies were terrifying, at this moment, they seemed like fervent fans seeing their idol, extremely excited.
Even the zombies in the entire factory crazily crowded over there.
The zombie held by Jiang Shuyu did the same, kicking her away and also crazily rushing over there.
Ruan Qing didn’t shout out recklessly. He bet that the zombies below were also under Yan Ci’s control.
Yan Ci wouldn’t let him die.
At least not for the time being.
But even so, Ruan Qing’s eyes widened as he watched the crazily approaching horde of zombies, feeling a bit scared as he stepped back.
He tightly gripped the strap of his messenger bag.
Because if he guessed wrong, what awaited him would be death by being devoured without a trace.
Fortunately, it seemed that he guessed right.
The zombie horde almost crowded downstairs, but not a single zombie climbed up.
Ruan Qing saw this and a bold idea emerged in his mind.
His gaze paused for a moment, then he carefully went downstairs.
With each step, he observed the zombies’ reactions.
As the person approached closer and closer, the zombies seemed to grow more excited, but still, they didn’t attack.
They just crowded together.
Only a few steps of stairs remained, and Ruan Qing’s figure was close to the zombie horde.
Ruan Qing swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, and continued downward.
Sure enough, the zombie horde, as he expected, backed away.
Their faces and pale eyes showed excitement, yet seemed to be afraid of something. As Ruan Qing approached, they crazily retreated.
Ruan Qing tensed his body, trying hard to ignore the surrounding zombies, and slowly walked in Jiang Shuyu’s direction.
The zombies he came into contact with immediately made way, as if they were cautious of something and dared not touch Ruan Qing.
Extremely eerie.
Ruan Qing successfully reached Jiang Shuyu’s side like this, and reached out his hand towards Jiang Shuyu, who was still dazed.
Jiang Shuyu then reacted and quickly placed her hand in his.
Ruan Qing held Jiang Shuyu’s hand and reached out to the others, wanting to lead them out as well.
However, whether it was because the food was taken away or because they saw Ruan Qing holding someone else’s hand, the zombie horde directly rushed towards Jiang Shuyu.
Ruan Qing was startled, quickly pulled Jiang Shuyu, and shielded her behind him.
The zombies probably hesitated to hurt Ruan Qing, so they withdrew their hands and made terrifying ‘hehe’ sounds towards Jiang Shuyu.
It looked extremely terrifying.
Jiang Shuyu was scared, tears streaming down her face, subconsciously holding onto Ruan Qing’s hand tightly.
The other ordinary people who had wanted to leave with Ruan Qing were also frightened, shrinking back into the corner, no longer daring to approach Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing pursed his lips, protecting Jiang Shuyu as he walked out.
He couldn’t protect so many people.
Probably because the consciousness of the zombies wasn’t very high, even though Ruan Qing was walking out, the zombie horde didn’t stop Ruan Qing, they just followed and squeezed past.
Ruan Qing tried to ignore this terrifying group of zombies following them and led Jiang Shuyu to the entrance of the factory.
At this moment, they were only a step away from the main gate.
As long as they could get out and find a car, they would be able to get rid of this group of zombies.
However, the next second, Ruan Qing froze directly, and his steps stopped.
Because a man walked in from outside the main gate.
It’s... Yan Ci.
