Shang Jiuti and Lou Xiaoxiao suddenly held on their rifles, their faces filled with tension and nervousness. It was due to a sound akin to a gunshot that ca from the lake.
Chen Shaoye also stood beside his sniper rifle. He was also as tense as the two won. In fear of sothing suddenly appearing, he stood on the sa spot like a log, his eyes ceaselessly looking around.
On the other hand, Chu Han grabbed his iron axe as he then walked towards the front of the group. The won then followed him into the source of that gunshot. He flung the weed around with his axe, cutting so in the process. What it laid bare was water that was ice cold. Splashes were created when they continued to walk towards the lake despite the ice cold water they could feel on their toes.
Chu Han`s phase-one strength also gave him heightened senses, he was currently able to feel that Lou Xiaoxiao was quivering intensively while Shang Jiuti`s breathing was ragged.
Suddenly, Chu Han stopped moving.
The sound of splashing water was then replaced by a sudden silence. Behind Chu Han, Lou Xiaoxiao and Shang Jiuti held their breaths as they firmly locked themselves on the spot.
Hua... Hua...
From afar, the sound of splashing water broke the silent atmosphere.
Although the moon was not so bright that night, a sliver of moonlight still perated through towards that place, giving it enough lighting. As their eyes began to adapt to the light, the scene on the front was laid bare for their eyes to see.
It was Bai Yun`er.
The girl was swimming at the center of the lake, her back turned towards Chu Han and his group. Her long hair draped onto her face, laying bare her swanlike neck to the group. The water covered her body. She raised her arms and then dropped it down on the surface of the water, creating a splash.
"Shit! Taking too long when you`re just taking a bath!" Luo Xiaoxiao was so mad, "I thought there was sothing wrong. Why did she go so far?"
The place where Bai Yun`er was staying at was quite a distance away from their camp.
Shang Jiuti breathed a sigh of relief as she wiped the beads of sweat that dripped down her face.
Chu Han simply said nothing, just staying completely still. He stood there quietly, an unknown glint flashing across his eyes as he looked at Bai Yun`er.
Lou Xiaoxiao did not bother lowering her voice, directly letting Bai Yun`er hear what she just said. Bai Yun`er turned around, her naked body laid bare to the group. Her almost perfect body was glamorously displayed towards the group but she did not even show a hint of bashfulness.
Her cold appearance, delicate collarbone, and spotless arms was displayed in front of Chu Han and the other two won like so kind of item up for auction, not sothing that should not be displayed in front of others.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Lou Xiaoxiao choked herself with her own saliva.
Shang Jiuti`s face reddened as she could not help but look towards Chu Han. He was looking at her intently! All of a sudden, Shang Jiuti felt jealous. She looked at her body as she compared it to Bai Yun`er`s.
At the very mont that Shang Jiuti and Lou Xiaoxiao was still reeling from the shock they felt, the sound of splashing water could be heard.
Hua---
The torrent of water squarely hit the three people`s lower bodies. Their trousers was now drenched as it added another level of coldness to their bodies.
"Ah!!" Luo Xiaoxiao suddenly scread.
Shang Jiuti`s face turned pale as she looked at Lou Xiaoxiao.
The crystal clear water allowed them to clearly see what was at the bottom of the lake. Countless pairs of white pupils that looked like kelpies1 and sets of teeth now eerily filled the lake.
There were zombies!
There was a vast amount of zombies on the lake.
A vast amount of zombie heads dotted the water surface, creating a honeycomb-like structure. Along with the splashing of the water, they quickly rushed towards where Chu Han and his group were located. There was even a vast amount of dead fish that was carried along with the splashes!
Zombies needed to feed. They eat almost everything, not only human at but also the at of animals. They ate everything that was alive, wasting nothing in the process.
It was not strange that there were zombies in the water since fish was also a good type of food for them.
But it could not be denied that they liked human at the most!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Retreating strides along with the splashing of water clearly indicated the urgency of retreating as Lou Xiaoxiao quickly dashed to the lakeshore in total panic.
Shang Jiuti was quivering. She was still a woman even though she`s not a common woman. She could still feel fear but she did not let it get the better of her.
"Did you kill them?" Chu Han then looked at Bai Yun`er on the other side of the lake.
The number of dead zombie heads floating on the surface was so scary and eerie. Their bodies sank to the bottom of the lake. Their heads was the only thing that floated and it seed that they all shared the sa process of dying.
"Yes." Bai Yun`er casually replied as she then continued with her bath. She did not feel bashful and she also did not feel fear. Shang Jiuti and Lou Xiaoxiao were so shocked they did not know what to say. They asked to themselves, "Was she still human?" Chu Han narrowed his eyes. Bai Yun`er was not that strong but she was at the embryonic stage of a killing machine. She was born to kill. Within an hour, the number of zombies she killed was unfathomable. Her unpredictability added another level of danger to her being that even Chu Han instinctively started to fear her.
Luckily, he was not Bai Yun`er`s enemy.
Luckily, he t her before she had gone mad.
Looking at the heads of zombies that dotted the surface of the lake, Chu Han could not help but ask his self the question, "Was she really a mutant?"
He simply did not see another explanation to her absurd fighting capabilities. It absolutely did not belong to a seventeen year old girl. But he simply could not confirm his hypothesis. Bai Yun`er had already stopped fighting at that mont so he could not sense a fluctuation from her.
Evolved people, or mutants, created a fluctuation of unknown origins during fighting that could be sensed by other mutants. Those fluctuations grow stronger along with the strength of the mutant, but it could not be felt by normal people or during tranquil tis. It was a strange thing that happened for no reason.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Han continued, "The rotten at and the dark blood would scatter along the lake very soon. You better finish bathing quickly."
"Yeah." Bai Yun`er still answered as usual but she was really moving more quickly. She listened to Chu Han.
Chu Han looked at the bottom of the lake that now seed like a mass burial ground before going to the shore. Lou Xiaoxiao and Shang Jiuti had already gone far in fear of the eerie scene they had seen. It was not just the scene of countless zombie heads dotting the surface of the water that greatly scared them, Bai Yun`er`s casual attitude despite what she had done also frightened them a lot.
She could actually still calmly take a bath on a lake infested with dead zombies? It should be natural to go to sowhere more sanitary and less eerie.
Could a normal person do what she had done?
1. Water sprite: in Scottish folklore, a malicious water spirit that takes the form of a horse and lures people to death by drowning (I don`t know how pale white eyes look like a horse-shaped sprite but yeah, t`is the aning of kelpies)
