Is Mo Chen okay? There wasn't any aura vortex, was there?
But before the aura vortex appeared, he could still have undergone zombie transformation...
Luo Xiaole felt an inexplicable sense of panic and tension. She hadn't been this scared even when she first saw zombies...
If Mo Chen really turned into a zombie...
Her fingers clenched the corner of her clothes, crumpling it into a pickle. Just the thought of it made her feel suffocated with sadness.
So this is what it feels like to care about someone...
The car drove along the offline navigation.
Everyone changed Mo Chen's cold compress towels multiple times, and Pi Jiajia even used healing spells, but Mo Chen showed no signs of improvement...
He not only had a high fever but also began to twitch uncontrollably...
"Chen Xiaolin, didn't you have symptoms like this too? A high fever, shivering. Can Mo Chen just go directly into the zombie horde like you did?"
"This..." Chen Xiaolin glanced around guiltily. Those symptoms had appeared much later for him, and he had suffered a lot before he got through it. But Mo Chen was already so severe in just a few hours...
No one could withstand such a fierce infection!
Moreover, he could clearly sense that Mo Chen's body was already beginning to emit a faint zombie aura, similar to other zombies...
Mo Chen's situation might really be different from his!
How could he bring himself to say that...
The night outside was extremely cold, but the people inside the car were burning with anxiety, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Luo Xiaole had just fed Mo Chen three bottles of buffs.
Everyone next to her was as quiet as a nest of quails...
It was as if buffs were free for you, and you were pouring them in like watering a bull. Who could handle that!
"Xiaole." Lin Ruoshui, sitting in the passenger seat, grabbed her and pulled her over.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Luo Xiaole was bewildered.
She then noticed Lin Xia's unusually serious expression.
"Look ahead."
Luo Xiaole wiped the lens of her gas mask. Her heart leaped when she looked.
As they got closer to Wind City Base, the sky filled with black smoke and thick fog became even more conspicuous. In the headlights, countless dancing specks of dust loomed, causing unease.
"Who brought the stink bomb? Stinky tofu?"
The stench in the air grew stronger, and even the gas mask couldn't block it out.
Luo Xiaole exchanged glances with the others, remaining silent, their hearts sinking.
Something big had definitely happened at Wind City Base.
Finally, just as dawn was breaking, the group arrived at the gates of Wind City Base.
Silence.
There were no sentries, no patrolling soldiers, not even the sound of people moving inside the city...
Something was hanging on the gate of Wind City Base, dripping liquid...
It was unclear whether it was human or zombie blood...
Wind City Base had relocated?
"Xiaole..." Zhou Xiaojun's voice trembled...
"The commotion inside the city..." he said, shaking more and more, pointing towards the heavy gate. "None of it sounds like it's from a living person..."
What!!
"Yes, there is movement inside, but I only smell... the scent of zombies..." Chen Xiaolin's face also looked grim.
This...
They had no idea what the situation was inside...
But Tan Hongyi's information was inside, and they had to go in...
Got it!
Luo Xiaole summoned her man-eating flower and sat on its large, round head.
She frantically threw nutrient solution under the flower's bottom.
The flower shivered its leaves, "Whoosh," it rapidly grew, carrying Luo Xiaole into the sky, reaching four meters high, allowing Luo Xiaole to peek out her head and see the scene inside the city.
"Oh my god, it's so high!" Luo Xiaole took a deep breath.
She looked into the city.
It was still a foggy expanse, making it impossible to discern anything.
But she was sure that there was no danger near the gate.
She saw no aura vortex.
The base gate could be entered.
She explained the situation to her companions.
"If the gate is fine, then we have to go in and investigate."
"What about Mo Chen?"
In the end, they decided that Luo Shu and Lin Xia would take care of Mo Chen outside the base while the others set out to explore near the base gate, gather intelligence, and then decide on the next course of action.
Luo Xiaole simply had the flower shrink to about the size of a small horse. She rode the flower, with Chen Xiaolin leading the way, so they could turn and flee immediately if there was any danger.
"Creak—" The base gate wasn't locked, and it made a weird, grating sound as it was pushed open.
A gust of wind blew, dispersing some of the mist in front of them, and the scene before everyone's eyes became clear.
The ground, as if covered in coal, was strewn with fragmented human limbs. Blackish-green blood and dark red human blood formed a terrifying carpet, covering everything within sight...
This wasn't a place without people... it was filled with people...
All of them had contorted faces and their limbs were bizarrely stacked. Their pupils were fixed with the despair and horror of their final moments.
But their deaths were varied.
Some had turned into zombies, their skin carbonized, and when the wind blew, parts of them turned into the black mist particles in the air, scattering.
Others still retained their human appearance, but their internal organs had been ripped out and gnawed into small pieces, leaving only half a face and a broken human skeleton...
"This..." The group exchanged glances. This was beyond mere terror...
This was simply... a breathtaking hell...
Luo Xiaole slowly looked up. "So, if we go further in..."
The others gulped hard. "Do we... still have to go?"
"If the entrance to the base is like this, then inside... it's definitely fallen." Luo Xiaole frowned.
"But for some unknown reason, both the zombies and humans here have died?" Zhou Xiaojun's teeth were chattering. He hid behind Luo Xiaole, forcing himself to analyze.
"Look..." Luo Xiaole jumped off the flower and pointed at a zombie in front of them.
"Even the zombie corpses have bite marks, and it looks like they were from zombie teeth."
Luo Xiaole suddenly stood up, quickly pulled out a weighted silencer pistol from her pocket, and stared intently ahead, becoming vigilant.
"Zombies eating other zombies, they are evolving... through constant devouring..."
What they were facing now wasn't ordinary zombies, nor the mutated zombies from before, but something even more difficult to deal with... new types of zombies...
"Hoo—" As soon as she finished speaking, a sharp wind current suddenly appeared from some corner.
"Clang!" Luo Xiaole fired her gun!
"Hoo!" A lightning-fast zombie suddenly leaped out.
The zombie's face was filled with hatred, its fangs bared, and its appearance instantly entered Luo Xiaole's sight.
!!!
It was Ah Ling!
