Chapter 734: Chapter 734: The Lucky Child
“General, I don’t believe that you would get bitten by a zombie cockroach,”
Bella said as she tried her utmost to release the last remaining Fire Elent Ability.
“I only know that my decision wasn’t wrong,”
Bard replied at Bella’s side.
Rather than being not wrong, it’s more accurate to say he didn’t regret it. He had always been mistaken about sothing — before being a Survivor, before being a general, he was first and foremost a human being.
But hearing this, Bella burst into loud crying, her wails intermixed with the screeching of zombie cockroaches and the roaring of zombies, sounded especially discordant.
By this ti, the sky had turned completely dark, except for the firelight and electric lights coming from the direction of the city gates. The slope they faced was shrouded in darkness deep as an abyss.
Suddenly! Flickering lights appeared in the midst of that darkness, growing brighter and brighter as they drew nearer, montarily catching Bard off guard.
Roar, roar, roar!
The zombies that kept extending their hands to grab them suddenly fell backwards in unison, prompting everyone to instinctively look down at the coolness beneath their feet.
It was an ice layer!
What was happening?
If it weren’t for Bard’s tal wall upfront, a few Special Ability Users who had slipped might have gone sliding down with the zombies.
“It’s the vehicle! It’s David’s vehicle!”
Soone recognized the minibus below not because the minibus had co any closer, but because several beams of bright light suddenly lit up around it, shining even brighter than the lights from the city gates not far behind.
“My God, did Qiao actually co back now? Did he run out of luck?”
Bard, who had always considered Qiao a lucky man, couldn’t help but wonder if Qiao had chosen this dangerous mont to return because he had used up all his luck.
“Ah~ I can’t see the road ahead clearly, I might have overdone the ice.”
Lin Xiuyuan said apologetically, stretching his neck. Fortunately, the group didn’t slide down, or else he would have been chastised by the family again.
“Qiao, I see General Bard,”
David stood up in shock and stated; he had already stopped the vehicle.
According to their current plan, they were supposed to get out of the vehicle and kill the zombies, while Su Jin used Mutated Moss to deal with all the zombie cockroaches around. But why was General Bard outside? Could he be seeing things?
“You’re not seeing things. It’s General Bard. Has he been bitten?”
Qiao furrowed his brows deeply, not understanding how soone as capable as Bard could get bitten.
“Alright, we need to deal with these little cuties first. They are sliding down the slide and coming down happily,”
Abby said humorously.
Behind their vehicle was an ice wall created by Lin Xiuyuan from the Heart Talk Team. Just now, in addition to hitting part of their vehicle, most of the sliding zombies also hit the ice wall, and now they were about to go down and engage in a big fight.
“Lin Xiuyuan, remove it,”
Su Jin shouted.
“OK~”
Lin Xiuyuan swiftly removed the ice layer on the slope, and a mass of green Mutated Moss began to rapidly spread across the slope.
Su Xiangzhe had already used his Thunder Elent Ability to repel the zombies surrounding the vehicle. Seizing this opportunity, everyone except Su Jin left the vehicle and began to fight the zombies outside.
Qiao’s Wind Blade sliced through the heads of the zombies. He jumped up into the air, which allowed him to see the situation above, where Bard and the others were.
“Qiao, there aren’t many zombies here. You go check out that situation over there,”
David suggested, aware that zombie cockroach attacks on bases usually didn’t attract too many zombies simultaneously.
“Okay,”
Qiao nodded and flew forward using his Wind Elent Ability.
“Brother Xiuyuan, you’re stealing my kills again!”
Mao Qiqi pouted and complained that she was about to slice off a zombie’s head when it was taken down by an Ice Spike.
“There’s still plenty, don’t be so stingy,”
Lin Xiuyuan remained unconvinced, but in the next mont, Qiqi jumped in front of him and with a sliding tackle, cleaned out a row of zombies before him.
“Hmm, don’t be stingy, okay?”
Qiqi said, satisfied.
“I think Qiqi has been so pent up these past few days that she sees a zombie like a precious treasure,”
Huang Yunxiang said with a laugh. It was also strange that when the zombie cockroaches appeared, the number of zombies seed to decrease. She wondered where all the zombies from Country Y had hidden themselves.
Up on the hillside, Bella and her companions panicked as they watched the green plants swiftly climbing their way.
“Don’t burn it! That’s the mutated plant of the Heart Talk Team,”
Bard exclaid excitedly, having seen it in a video before.
He then rembered that they were all a group of injured people, and the initial excitent quickly faded.
Next to him, two more people collapsed to the ground, looking like they were about to turn into zombies. However, the zombie cockroaches that had been around them had vanished silently and did not imdiately crawl onto the two n.
Still, Bard fired two shots, dealing with the two Special Ability Users who could no longer speak.
“It looks like the base is stabilizing,”
Bard didn’t know whether to feel relieved or sad, as he no longer had any plans to survive.
Nearing swiftly, Qiao brought a smile to Bard’s face. It wasn’t so bad to have soone accompany him on his last journey after all.
Bella also wiped her tears and said, “I’m glad to die at the hands of the General.”
…
For so reason, the cries of the zombies outside the city walls gradually faded into silence, and even around the city walls, there were no more zombie cockroaches crawling in. No one inside the base knew what was happening outside.
But the zombie cockroaches inside the base were still present, so nobody dared let their guard down.
“Have the zombie cockroaches retreated?”
Soone asked.
“How is that possible? They won’t retreat until they’re completely exterminated,”
“But the cries of the zombies outside have also disappeared.”
“Why do I still hear the sound of cars?”
“…”
Outside the city gates, Su Jin took out a few bottles of water and had Lu Hao hand them to a few people who had not yet turned into zombies. After General Bard dealt with a few people showing signs of zombification, there were now only nine injured people remaining.
“Su Jin, will it really work?”
Qiao asked uncertainly. Honestly, he really hoped that what Su Jin said was true, and not all people bitten by zombie cockroaches would turn into zombies.
“Not sure. It depends on the severity of the injury and their own immunity. Drinking lots of water might help,”
Su Jin said, not knowing whether drinking lots of water would be helpful, but the water she had taken out was Spatial Water.
Qiao reached out to pat Bard on the shoulder but was avoided.
“It’s okay, Qiao. I had already provoked Xius before coming out here, and moreover, I had brought guns without permission,”
Bard said with a bitter smile.
Bella by his side was also drinking water, uncertain how much longer she could hold on.
“I understand. Promise you’ll try, alright?”
Qiao said to the remaining people who had not yet turned into zombies. Lu Hao had just checked a few people’s wounds; only three of them had turned a different color at the site of the injury, while the rest were still red and swollen.
“Let’s give it a try,”
Bella said, holding General Bard’s hand.
If they all were lucky enough to survive, maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
Feeling the warmth of Bella’s hand, Bard looked at Qiao and his companions, unhard behind him, and couldn’t help but laugh:
“Lucky boy, may your good fortune extend to us.”
