Time goes back to noon, the steel plant.
Qiao Daye, who was forced to stay behind, only felt loveless after eating the dark food made by Gongsun Jing and Meng Hanghai.
He leaned against the front of the car bored. In the morning, the people who stayed behind unloaded the food and daily necessities from the cargo card according to Hou Ying’s request, waiting to be packed. Qiao Daye took the job alone, and at his current speed, it took only half an hour to finish it. In the afternoon, there was nothing to do. Qiao Daye had no choice but to tease Wang Hehe, asking him to explain what shameful things he did with him in his dream last night. Wang Hehe had a high-value face and pretended to look cold.
When Gongsun Jing saw that he was in a bad mood when he was idle, she suggested playing Fighting The Landlords—they took a lot of card games from the convenience store in the service area. It’s a pity that Wang Hehe not only has a good appearance but also overwhelms everyone with his IQ. He also deliberately retaliates against Qiao Daye, making him lose ten games in a row, which blackens Qiao Daye’s last bit of positive energy in his life.
“Stop playing!” Qiao Lao’er, the loser in life, lost his card and looked at Gongsun Jing, “I think I’d better go and dig some first-level nuclei. It’s a waste of time to just stay here. Gongsun, are you gonna look after them?”
Qiao Daye discussed.
Gongsun Jing is not so easy to talk about, “No, my task is not to let you out of this factory.”
Qiao Daye is not afraid of her sullen face—the first time Gongsun Jing went to the field of medical treatment and had vomited, the patient was Qiao Daye. The latter once thought about pursuing her, but the prospective girlfriend he invited for the first meal was hooked away by a dog-like cousin who came to greet him. The two have been engaged for many years. If it weren’t for the end of the world, in May this year will be their wedding day. Gongsun Jing didn’t know Qiao Daye’s feelings for her in the past. Because he was the younger brother of her fiancé, she naturally regarded him as her own younger brother. Whether it was kinship or affection, it was the deepest among the few people.
“You mean I can do anything without leaving this factory?”
“…What are you thinking about?” Gongsun Jing looked at him suspiciously. Qiao Daye cried out that he was wronged. Seeing that no one appreciated his tricks, he said straight, “When Xuanyuan and I first came to pick up the car, we drove more than half of the zombies in this factory to the warehouse. There were some zombies with abilities in there, which were all of grade one. Anyway, leisure is also leisure. It’s time to earn some extra money~”
Gongsun Jing was a little moved when she heard this, but she was still cautious, “Are you sure the information is right?”
“I was there myself, don’t I know? Even if they evolved, it’s at most level 2. I’m Level 3 now—”
Gongsun Jing interrupted him, “Be honest, your level 3 is your five-sense ability, okay?”
Qiao Daye refused to give in, “Why don’t you say that my speed ability is level 2 high-level? Will those minions be in my eye?”
Gongsun Jing was amused by his exaggerated expression then after thinking about it, “Since they’re first-level zombies, let’s take the two children together, just to open their eyes. When will they be able to adapt to the current living environment when they are nestled in the arms of Brother Hou?”
When the two “children” heard it from the side, their eyes brightened. To be honest, except for the unfortunate experience of Wang Hehe being caught by the same humans to be experimented on, he and Meng Hanghai are much luckier than the surviving people in the last days. At least for such a long time, under the protection of everyone, neither of them has seen the bloody scene of the ability users confronting the high-level zombies, let alone killing the zombies themselves.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
So the four hit it off, relying on Qiao Daye’s five-sense ability, they put the materials in place and went to the warehouse where the zombies were locked.
Seeing the bright red warning message [There are zombies inside, don’t enter], Qiao Daye couldn’t help but laugh when he thought of the situation that day. It was destined that the door would have to be opened by him in the end.
Gongsun Jing took Wang Hehe and Meng Hanghai on the roof of a warehouse facing the warehouse to watch the battle. She also took three pistols and said to them, “Wait a minute, I’ll ask your Uncle Laoer to leave some ordinary zombies for you. Today, I’ll let you feel the feeling of shooting. Especially you, Xiaohai, don’t blame your sister for not taking care of your emotions. In this apocalypse, you have to have your own ability to protect your life. We can’t change the ability given to us, but good marksmanship can be practiced by anyone. You have to grow up quickly, you know?”
Meng Hanghai nodded repeatedly.
“Good boy.”
Gongsun Jing laughs. As she talks, Qiao Daye pries the automatic door open and makes a start gesture to them.
Smelling human flesh, the zombies near the door jumped out first. After Gongsun Jing explained to the two children how to use the pistol, she explained to the two children how to fight the zombies. The crystal nucleus is generally located on the head of the zombies. Just as easy as playing a melon-cutting game. Then she heard Qiao Daye yell out, “Gongsun! Take both of them!”
Gongsun Jing was shocked and immediately pressed the two children down. Then she looked up and asked, “What’s the matter—?!”
Gongsun Jing’s face changed when she saw the zombie she had never seen below. For a moment, she felt the urge to vomit. You know, as a military doctor of special forces who was a field emergency doctor and experiencing the bloodiest scenes in the last days, before that, Gongsun Jing believed that nothing could make her feel sick anymore. But now it turns out she’s wrong!
She saw more and more strange zombies pouring out of the warehouse. They were unimaginable conjoined zombies—two-headed and three-headed zombies! This is not terrible. What’s more terrible is that for those who are about to be integrated, their bodies are connected unevenly, like conjoined babies with gene mutation, there are left-right connections and back-to-back ones!
There are also some zombies whose faces are almost frightening to see—some have two Yin and Yang faces, the left and right faces belong to two or three completely different zombies; some have a whole set of facial features on one face, some have one face that is densely covered with eyes, nose, and mouth, and there are even three mouths and three eyes!
Gongsun Jing tightly covered her mouth and swallowed the acid water. She made a quick decision, wrapped the two children in water polo, and told them, “Now go back to the truck, get into the cockpit of the heavy truck and lock the door. You can’t open the door unless Brother Hou and the other come back, remember?”
She said. Then, also wrapping a water polo on herself, she pulled Wang Hehe and Meng Hanghai to run to the edge. Wang Hehe, who is not too tall, turned his head and looked at the situation below when he got up, his eyes widened suddenly!
He hurriedly grabbed Gongsun Jing, “I dreamed of it! It was these monsters that I dreamed of! Leave us alone, save him, we’ll go by ourselves!”
Gongsun Jing gritted her teeth, rushed back in two steps, and jumped off the roof of the warehouse. Now her ability is limited, and the water ball that blocks the smell must be within five meters to be used on others. But without waiting for her to get close to Qiao Daye, a huge face with only noses appeared in front of her, which was even more terrifying than what she had just seen!
“Ah!!!”
Gongsun Jing screamed instinctively, but her evasive movement did not slow down at all. She avoided the claws of the zombie, and then discovered that the attack power of the nose-faced zombie was not enough to pierce through her protective water cover! Gongsun Jing immediately understood that this was an olfactory zombie, no, it was a zombie composed of many olfactory zombies. It was only an olfactory ability. She immediately stabilized her heartbeat and ran forward at the fastest speed!
Qiao Daye was surrounded by several multi-headed zombies. Gongsun Jing raised her gun and fired wildly, and finally managed to get into the encirclement! Ten meters – eight meters – six meters – five meters!
A protective water polo began to expand up and down from Qiao Daye’s neck, and it was about to successfully wrap Qiao Daye. At this moment, Qiao Daye suddenly roared and passed her at a very fast speed, holding a paratrooper knife in both hands, he stabbed the three power zombies behind her! The two changed to a back-to-back posture, Gongsun Jing’s water polo finally successfully wrapped up Qiao Daye.
“Go!”
“…Let me try.”
Qiao Daye took Gongsun Jing to the opposite factory building as fast as he could. He just saw that the two kids didn’t leave at all. He pushed Gongsun Jing to them, “They are a combination of first-class zombies. They just look terrible, but I can deal with them if I attack from a distance. You take them away first.”
Before Gongsun Jing agreed, he jumped down.
Gongsun Jing rushed over and saw that he had already killed the zombies. A metal half-faced zombie pierced the defensive water ball she had imposed. In an instant, the sound of the zombies grew louder!
She understood that Qiao Daye’s choice was not because of bravado, but so many mutant zombies, which was not as easy to deal with as he said. There are also nose-face zombies. If Qiao Daye doesn’t kill these zombies head-on, it won’t take much time for her, Wang Hehe, and Meng Hanghai to suffer. Gongsun Jing was cruel, pulling Wang Hehe to send them away first. Wang Hehe shouted, “No! I can’t go!”
“You don’t want to leave to make trouble?!”
Frightened and worried, Gongsun Jing’s voice rose.
“I feel, I, no, we can’t go! If we left, Uncle Lao’er would die! I didn’t lie to you!”
Wang Hehe cried, tearing his throat, his tears rolled down. It was obvious that he had foreseen the most terrible consequences. Gongsun Jing was startled. She stared at Wang Hehe and chose to believe him. When she goes to support Qiao Daye, she once again repeats that she wants them to hide and not make any noise when they see anything.
Gongsun Jing reunited with Qiao Daye again and applied the water polo again. Qiao Daye’s smell disappeared, causing most of the zombies to put away their attacks, calm down their violent state, and start to search for their food everywhere.
Gongsun Jing swallowed hurriedly, and said, “What the hell is going on…”
“I don’t know. Before they were locked in, they were obviously fine. Most of them were ordinary zombies, but now there are only dozens of ordinary zombies left.” Qiao Daye regretted that his momentary boredom had made things so bad. He said, “I just saw a total of 14 mutant zombies. But the problem is that when they were locked in, there were at least three or four hundred zombies. Now they have shrunk by more than half, and the rest of them… maybe they were all fused into mutant zombies.”
He felt that things were going to be worse, so he insisted that Gongsun Jing and them to leave first.
Gongsun Jing, “However, these 14 zombies can’t integrate a hundred people, and the rest of them won’t—”
Qiao Daye, “!”
The two people suddenly look at each other!
It won’t merge into a zombie, right?!
Qiao Daye had no time to say anything. He immediately caught Gongsun Jing and rushed to the roof of the factory! But his body only reached mid-air, and a long object suddenly flung out from the warehouse, suddenly pulling away his self-defense water polo cover, entangled his leg, and dragged him down! Qiao Daye’s pupils shrunk and almost instinctively threw Gongsun Jing up with all his strength—
Gongsun Jing suddenly turned her head—
Wang Hehe and Meng Hanghai, who hugged each other tightly on the top of the factory building, finally saw the huge zombie slowly crawling out of the warehouse! As if everything were playing in slow motion, fifty zombie heads with overlapping facial features slowly emerged in the shadow, followed by hundreds of hands crawling on the ground like a multi-legged worm—Gongsun Jing, who slowly separated in mid-air and fell to the roof of the factory, and Qiao Daye, who was dragged to the ground by the tongue of 50 zombies—
In fact, it’s just a matter of a moment. It’s so short that they can’t make any reaction and can only instinctively—
Scream.
The author has something to say:
Good morning, meow!!
A lot of babies don’t like Wang Hehe, my mother’s heart is broken. If I save him, will there be any suspicion of being whitewashed? Haha, let’s read this chapter~~
Oh my! So Will Qiao Daye baby die?!! No don’t do this author–sama please 🥺. This was so saddest chapter! Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️
Srsly!!?? I can’t help being mad right now!! Urgh! Their self awareness is so low and why would you open a door that clearly says DO NOT OPEN! Ohmygad I just hope no one will die soon.
To be fair, they were the ones that wrote ‘do not open’ and at the time QD said the sign made him want to open it more. And while the zombies inside would be dangerous to normal folk, a ton of level 1 zombies isn’t much to powered spec forces. As to why QD didn’t just sit tight… author-San has already pointed out QD isn’t a heavy thinker. That’s how our little zombie-kin got elected
they were already told to lay low but what do they do? confront an entire warehouse of zombies… pls use your special forces brains ba…
They had already clairvoyance ability user but they don’t listen…. tf 🙃
ok those zombies reminds me of the artwork I saw in the past,except that I saw were ahem! boobeast .. in one body.. oh I’m quite curious if there’s also diccus / fushy cat in one body artwork .(due to some age restriction some terms have been modified) 〒▽〒( ≧Д≦)
