Chapter 242 - 132 Revenge (Requesting Monthly
As they spoke, the group arrived inside the forest.
In the combined illumination of several flashlights, they saw a female zombie in pajamas, with her hair in disarray, frantically turning her head. However, a chain tightly bound her waist, restricting her movement within a certain range.
“Who tied this chain?”
Wei Zhenguo asked.
“Sun Weiguang has no idea, he said it wasn’t him!”
Ren Jie answered gravely.
“Hmm? Are there others at the scene? Was Ou Yingying killed by someone?”
Everyone was startled for a moment before they all thought of the key issue.
“Not sure, but that’s also why we called you guys here.”
Ren Jie shook his head.
Inside the base, infighting was strictly controlled; at most, survivors might engage in verbal spats and rarely got into physical fights. Let alone such clear cases of framing and murder.
Ou Yingying had never left the base; she hadn’t had the chance to be infected with the zombie virus nor had she fused with a Crystal Core… So, it was highly probable that she was infected by someone with zombie blood!
“Investigate! I want to see who has such gall!”
Xiang Hongbin was furious. This was a direct challenge to the authority of their committee!
Wang Tao walked over to examine her and directly grabbed the zombie’s face.
“Hehe…”
The zombie immediately flailed her arms, trying to grab Wang Tao. But Wang Tao’s other hand firmly restrained both of her arms, immobilizing her.
For an Ordinary zombie with 500 HP, Wang Tao could handle her with ease.
Seeing her face, it was indeed Ou Yingying.
“Hmm?”
However, upon seeing Ou Yingying’s face, Wang Tao suddenly furrowed his brow.
On her neck, there was a deep bite mark surrounded by black blood vessels. And, this bite mark was the same as human teeth!
“Not good! There’s a zombie inside the base!” Wang Tao suddenly yelled out,
“She wasn’t infected by zombie blood; she was bitten!”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked.
Wang Tao carefully examined the ground.
It had been a long time since anyone had been in this small grove, and it was covered in dust. Among a mess of footprints, there was a set leading to the north wall of the compound!
“You guys search the other areas carefully. I’m going out to have a look!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Wang Tao took a flashlight and ran following the footprints.
“Quick, quick, quick! Call all the survivors, check them! And get some people to guard the small grove!”
Wei Zhenguo immediately commanded.
By the time he left the small grove, Han Rui had just jogged over.
“What’s the situation?”
Han Rui was still a bit confused, knowing only that someone in the base had been infected, but unclear about the specifics.
Ren Jie briefed her on the situation.
“What? Sun Weiguang? Ou Yingying?”
Han Rui was taken aback.
She hadn’t expected it to be the two of them involved!
Han Rui ran into the small grove, and after seeing the zombie Ou Yingying, she shook her head, then ran back out and asked:
“Where is Sun Weiguang?”
“He has been taken to the comprehensive building for custody…”
Ren Jie pointed to a place.
Han Rui hurried to find Sun Weiguang, wanting to understand the situation.
“I want to see Sun Weiguang!”
“Okay, Minister Han, please—huh? Where’s Sun Weiguang? The window’s open? Damn! Did he run out the window? This is the fourth floor!”
“Yingying, I’ve got the inhibitor, I’m coming to save you!”
Sun Weiguang, clutching a bottle of inhibitor and limping, stepped out of the darkness and into the grove of trees. There was no moon tonight, and the stars were dim—besides, the base was somewhat chaotic, so no one noticed him entering the grove.
Soon, Sun Weiguang saw the person chained up.
“Yingying, Tmhere!”
Sun Weiguang, holding the inhibitor, ran excitedly towards the bowed head of Ou Yingying, then hugged her tightly.
“Yingying, open your mouth quickly!”
Ou Yingying lifted her head, and those pale white eyes looked at Sun Weiguang in front of her. She tilted her head, seeming somewhat confused.
Then, she bit into Sun Weiguang’s neck.
“Gurgle-”
Sun Weiguang, one hand on his neck, the other gripping the inhibitor, had a face full of disbelief.
“Yingying… you…”
“Heh… roar…”
“There’s movement!”
While following the footprints, Wang Tao suddenly saw a shadow flash by, so he hurried to the wall and then saw the barbed wire on top was cut!
“Zombies can cut barbed wire?”
Wang Tao had thought it was zombie footprints, perhaps those of a special elite zombie. But would elite zombies cut barbed wire? This wire was the same spiral barbed wire used in prisons, and even mad demon zombies couldn’t climb through it—they’d get stuck unless the wire was cut!
Are elite zombies now this formidable?
Wang Tao was surprised, but he didn’t stop; he climbed right over the wall.
His strength had grown, and so had his confidence.
Bang!
Wang Tao landed, and there were no zombies outside the base.
He quickly scanned the area and saw a shadow fleeting in the distance.
“Finally caught you!”
Wang Tao immediately activated his precision shooting ability, and then his gear set’s rush ability, using the rush as a teleport.
Boom—
Wang Tao sprinted twenty to thirty meters in an instant!
Not far ahead of him, a gaunt figure was sprinting wildly.
Whoosh—
Without a word, Wang Tao hurled his axe.
Bang!
Clang—
The axe struck the figure’s back but made a metallic clank.
The shadow slowly got up. Then it turned its head, looking at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao had been slightly taken aback the moment he threw his flying axe.
Because the figure’s HP bar kept flickering red and green!
Wang Tao had only seen this happen when Shao Yong turned into a zombie!
And when the figure turned around, Wang Tao, with the help of the faint starlight, got a clear view, and he was utterly shocked.
“WuFei!”
The person before him was none other than Blondy Wu Fei, whom he had met twice before!
But this time, Wu Fei lacked the warmth and openness of the previous encounter. His expression was cold, like a stranger’s.
Seeing that Wang Tao didn’t make another move, Wu Fei suddenly shifted and disappeared into the night.
