The zombies' actions were beyond everyone's expectations!
Their retreat was blocked!
Everyone offered suggestions.
"There's no possibility of escaping back. These zombies seem to possess intelligence. They appear to know that the novice village's halo can block them, so they've tightly surrounded us, preventing us from getting close to the novice village's halo. Their defense has no loopholes, coupled with their terrifying strength and robust bodies. If we want to break out of the encirclement, it's no different from piercing a ten-meter thick steel plate. We'd have to become birds and fly over."
"Captain Chu He, your combat power is 10. Can you find a way to break out?"
Hearing this, Chu He gave a tragic smile and said, "After fighting for so long, don't you understand yet? Although my 'Gun Fu' is powerful and my combat power is 10, my bullets cannot penetrate these zombies' bodies. If even bullets can't pierce them, what's the use of my marksmanship, no matter how superb?"
"Are we really going to die on this planet? I'm so unwilling!"
Hearing these words, Qin Feng confirmed his guess.
These zombies were not only powerful but also seemed to possess a certain level of intelligence, knowing that the white novice village halo could stop them.
Qin Feng looked at the besieged crowd. Even if he wanted to save these people now, he had no way to do so.
However, seeing his compatriots being killed, he felt a pang of sympathy.
Then, he turned his head to look at the novice village halo behind him, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly, "I'm here! You zombies, come and kill me!"
His voice was loud, causing some of the attacking zombies to stop. They turned their heads and saw Qin Feng.
Subsequently, some zombies turned and attacked.
Qin Feng's shout distracted some of the zombies. Although the number was not large, it provided some space for the teams to escape.
One person took the opportunity to shout, "Now's our chance! Everyone use your best skills to tear open a gap and escape!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Instantly, gunshots rang out, followed by the glint of blades and the flash of swords, as they began to frantically attack the surrounding zombies.
Qin Feng watched as the zombies got closer and closer to him. He held his breath. Just as a zombie was about to bite him, he took a step back, directly entering the novice village's area.
With a bang, the white light rippled, and then he could hear nothing else.
This novice village halo not only blocked the line of sight but also the sound.
Not long after, one person scrambled into the white halo, followed by more people.
Everyone who entered was panting and looked terrified.
They had narrowly escaped death and were in a sorry state.
After an unknown amount of time, there were dozens of people inside the novice village, and then no one else came in.
Seeing that the white halo remained still for a long time, Chu He stood up, panting, and said, "It seems those people have already died outside. I never expected these zombies to have such formidable defensive capabilities. They are not as dull-witted as depicted in zombie movies. They actually know how to surround us and understand that this white halo is a protective barrier. It's truly incredible!"
"What do we do now?"
Chu He thought for a moment and said helplessly, "Wait... wait until the zombies leave the novice village's area, then we can go out and go as far as we can!"
"How long will that take? What if the zombies don't leave?"
This question cast a deathly silence over the scene. No one answered, because everyone knew that if the zombies didn't leave, they were doomed.
Gurgle!
It was unclear who it was, but someone's stomach rumbled, and then more people clutched their abdomens. They were all starving.
Then, someone exclaimed, "Look... what's on the ground?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw bread bags and mineral water bottles lying conspicuously on the empty ground.
Seeing the discarded food packaging on the ground, everyone's gaze fell on Qin Feng.
They remembered that when they rushed out, this food packaging was not there.
Now, everyone needed an explanation, or rather, they placed their hopes on Qin Feng's answer. In this world full of dangers, having food meant being able to survive. Food was equivalent to life.
Qin Feng felt as if everyone's eyes were piercing him.
He knew very well what the consequences of telling the truth would be. There was no one trustworthy here, and telling the truth would only bring disaster upon himself.
Therefore, Qin Feng scratched his head and explained, "These things are mine. They've been in my pockets since I was teleported to this world."
Hearing this, one person angrily said, "Since you have food, why didn't you bring it out earlier? A trash with only 1 combat power wasted precious food. If you had brought out the food to let the strong replenish their strength, perhaps we wouldn't be facing such a devastating defeat."
"Yes, your combat power is of no use at all. Why waste precious food? And to secretly enjoy it all by yourself, how despicable!"
"Why don't we kill him? What's the point of someone like him being alive? We can cook him, eat him to replenish our strength, and maybe we'll have a chance to break out of the zombie encirclement."
These words sent a chill down some people's spines. Although they looked down on Qin Feng, who only had a combat power of 1, they couldn't bring themselves to eat human flesh so easily.
So, someone retorted, "It was because of his shout just now that we had a chance to breathe and escape back. He's also our savior. How can we kill and eat him?"
"Yes, although we are very hungry, I would rather die than eat human flesh."
"I've heard that cannibalism leads to a very terrible disease. Once it strikes, even gods can't save you. Moreover, he did save our lives. We can't repay kindness with enmity like this."
As everyone debated, someone scoffed disdainfully, "How did he save us? He just shouted under the protection of the novice village. He didn't exert any effort at all. It was just a trivial matter. We escaped death through our own desperate fighting. It has nothing to do with him."
At this moment, Chu He, who had the strongest combat power, pondered for a moment and stepped forward. "How could a person with only 1 combat power save us? He just did something he was supposed to do. We don't need to be grateful to him. However... eating human flesh is indeed difficult to accept, and there's no need to kill him. Next time we break out, let him be the vanguard, walking at the front of the team to attract the zombies' attention. This way, he'll also be contributing to everyone, and we can take the opportunity to escape the zombie encirclement."
Everyone agreed with this idea. Rather than killing Qin Feng, it was more practical to use him as a vanguard.
When everyone made this decision, Qin Feng seemed to be ignored. His life was so casually thrown to the zombies by these people, and he had no chance to refute.
His strength was too weak, with only 1 combat power. Facing such a predicament, he was also helpless.
However, he remembered all these ungrateful people.
If he could survive the zombie encirclement, he would show no mercy to these people. He would remember this debt.
