Chapter 26: Running for Life
"No."
The house fell into silence, and Kong Linghai lay down with the quilt and closed his eyes tightly.
The night in the mountains is gloomy and terrible. There is no moon or stars. All the light cannot resist the overturning of the black. The strange mountains are often shadows wandering among them. The wind outside the window begins to howl at some point, and the bedding is shaking in the dark...
It was a night of release.
However, when a scream in the early morning resounded throughout the village, the night was no longer calm, and those who were sleeping were awakened, the door was clanging, some were knocking on the door, and some were crying.
"Open the door, open the door, help!" Tang Bo's heart-wrenching voice came.
"Zombie?" Kong Linghai said nervously.
The two brothers looked at each other in the darkness and quickly went out. The girls who were also sleeping in clothes next door also ran out with their weapons and bags on their backs.
Zhang Xujing walked quickly to the door and carefully observed the situation outside along the crack of the door. He found that only Tang Bo was slamming the door wildly. Even though he had excellent Jingqi Kung Fu skills, he couldn't help but feel angry at this time.
As the door opened, Tang Bo pushed Zhang Xujing into the yard in horror. Zhang Xujing was about to ask about the situation, but a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. He was about to dodge sideways, but he remembered that there was someone behind him, so he simply lucked and pushed forward directly.
However, what he didn't expect was that the black shadow reacted very quickly and actually dodged the attack in an instant, brushed the door frame and went into the yard.
"Be careful!" Zhang Xujing turned around and was about to chase after him. When he heard a sound in the courtyard, Shen Dongling blocked everyone, and water-blue ripples all over his body appeared. The steel pipe was holding horizontally and the black shadow hit him.
The black shadow growled and jumped to the open space three or four meters away.
Everyone looked at each other and saw that the black shadow was human-shaped, with a slender figure, messy and fluffy hair, and could not see clearly in the darkness, but they could see those red eyes.
It's a zombie, an evolutionary zombie!
Before everyone could react, the female zombie had already moved. She was sharp and she rushed towards Pei Yan, who was closest to the closest. Shen Dongling, who was on the side, was wary of her steel pipe, swept across the steel pipe in her hand. The female zombie was not afraid at all. She was hit hard and moved to one side after the direction was shifted, and then she was ready to pounce in again.
"Youning, the copper coin sword." Shen Dongling shouted.
Zhang Ning quickly picked up the sword and pointed it at the zombie.
Zhang Xujing's evil talisman wrapped in a peach wood sword had arrived, and stabbed it out without hesitation at the female zombie. The female zombie seemed to be able to feel the threat brought by these people, and her figure flashed and retreated to the corner of the wall, away from everyone.
"Be careful that the sword should not hurt Shen Dongling!" Zhang Xujing said, taking out a talisman and a copper coin from his bag with one hand. His fingers flexibly folded the two into a ball, and then took the initiative to approach the female zombie.
"roar."
Realizing that the danger was coming, the female zombie roared and ran quickly along the wall.
"Want to run? The Five Emperors break the evil spirits, and the ferociousness dissipates!" Zhang Xujing chanted a spell in her mouth, threw the talisman ball out, and shot it in the back as the female zombie ran out of the yard!
Sparks flashed in the darkness, and the female zombie roared and threw herself into the ground, struggling to climb forward.
Zhang Xujing chased after him, looked at the zombie with a hole on her back, and pierced the wooden sword in her hand decisively. When the female zombie was trembling and lying on the ground, there was no movement. Then she used the energy to break her head and took out the crystal core inside.
"Die, are you dead?" Tang Bo hugged Pei Yan's arm tightly and fought against each other.
Pei Yan pushed Tang Bo away and said to Shen Dongling: "Dongling, thank you."
"It's okay, it should be." Shen Dongling pushed his glasses and smiled shyly.
Several people came to the female zombie. Pei Yan looked at it and said with lingering fear: "This kind of zombie is so fast that ordinary people can't resist it."
"And they are very smart and know how to seek profit and avoid harm." Zhang Ning said.
"It's not smart, it's just instinct." Zhang Xujing said, "The female evolutionary zombies are more sensitive to danger than the male evolutionary zombies."
"Tang Bo, where are the others?" Kong Linghai looked at the thin man who was following Pei Yan closely and said.
"The rest of them, all..."
“We are here.”
Tang Bo was about to say that he survived, and two people walked out of the alley not far from the courtyard gate, one man and one woman walked over with a hunched back and trembling.
"You three?" Kong Linghai asked.
"They, they were all dead, they were bitten to death, and they were a lot of blood." The woman was still trembling.
"It's him." The man pointed at Tang Bo, "He saw someone outside the window, and he insisted that the survivor came over, so he went to shout, "How could he think it was a zombie."
"Didn't I say that I don't care if I hear any movement?" Kong Linghai was a little angry. He defended the owners for many years. Those owners were not obedient when they saw him, and they had never seen him so disobedient.
"I didn't know it was a zombie." Tang Bo felt very wronged and couldn't help but cry. "Didn't you and Brother Zhang Ning clean up all the zombies? Then I must think it's a human being and kind-hearted. It's not easy for everyone to live."
"I, you..." Kong Linghai was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhang Xujing didn't want to hear these meaningless arguments and said, "Senior Brother, let's leave here now."
"Now? OK." Kong Linghai didn't think much about it. The junior brother said that there must be his reason for leaving.
"Yes, now, we are not sure if the smell of blood will attract insect monsters or other evolutionary zombies."
"Brother Zhang, bring all the things, you can set off at any time." Liang Annie said.
At this time, the sky had begun to appear brightly. A group of ten people left the lonely and dilapidated village, stepped on the wet grass outside the village, and walked south along the ridge of the field.
Kong Linghai walked at the end of the team, looking at Shen Dongling with his brisk steps in front of him, various pictures flashed in his mind.
"Below, what is this very rare thing? Can it be covered?"
At this time, Zhang Xujing in front of him opened his vagina, and the sky in front was still a faint blood-red color, without any change. But when he looked at the sky behind him, his face suddenly changed and he whispered: "If there is a situation, the speed will be faster!"
"What?" Kong Linghai, who was thinking about it, was a little confused for a moment. When the others started to speed up, he realized and subconsciously looked behind him.
The night had not yet faded completely, and the village was hazy under the dim blue sky, and the mountains were blocked from sight, so there was no abnormality. However, just as he was about to turn around, dozens of black shadows suddenly appeared on the hillside a kilometer away. If it were before, he might have thought it was cattle, sheep or other animals, but now it was a fatal thing.
"Junior brother, come after me!" Kong Linghai shouted.
Hearing this, everyone looked back.
"Where……"
"That's a bug!"
"It's over, it's over." Tang Bo cried while running.
"Junior brother, what should I do?"
"Run." Zhang Xujing replied only one word, and there were at least forty or fifty insect demons that could be seen in his sight. Others didn't know if it was OK, he would definitely not be able to beat it.
"Give me the bag, speed up... Senior brother." As he said that, he took Zhang Ning and Pei Yan's backpack and asked them to run in front. Kong Linghai also hurriedly took Annie Liang and Qian Nan's bags.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed, crossed the farmland, and ran desperately towards the gentle slope ahead.
Zhang Xujing looked back and his face became solemn. He saw the insect demons who had originally headed to the village directly adjust their direction after discovering them and chased them.
Sure enough, he was attracted by the smell of blood. He had a keen sense of smell and had much higher vision than zombies. His speed was almost the same as that of ordinary people. However, his endurance was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. He would be caught up sooner or later in a long time, so he had to find a way.
Amid the nervous, rapid and messy footsteps, the breathing of everyone became heavier, especially a few women. After running out of three or four hundred meters quickly, the speed began to slow down significantly. Qian Nan even began to shake, and was pushed by Zhang Xujing with a bag when he almost fell.
"Brother Zhang..." Qian Nan's face was already showing despair. The moment Zhang Xujing said she ran, she had already started to panic. She knew that she could not be able to escape the insects.
"I can't run anymore... Woo--" Running at the end of the team, Tang Bo felt that everyone had abandoned himself. Those who usually claimed to be classmates ran faster than the other when encountering danger. He cried loudly, pulling the air forward with his hands, but such funny movements had no effect except to make the insect demon behind him more excited. No one looked at him, and everyone was overdrawing their strength to escape.
If this continues, it will be a death sooner or later.
Like Zhang Xujing, the man whose name was unknown was also running rapidly, thinking about how to get out.
There are many people and the target is too big, so the insect monster will not let go easily. Yes, why do I have to follow this group of people? Even if that superpower is powerful, I can't survive if I am caught up with the insect monster.
No, we can't run together again.
"Do you want to come with me?" The man shouted, regardless of the response, and adjusted his direction and ran southeastward.
The woman following behind was stunned, with a tangle on her pale face, but after looking at the crumbling people, she turned to follow the man.
The speed of the insect demon has not decreased, but the speed of the escaped person is getting slower. Within just over a minute, from the beginning, the distance between the two sides is only one kilometer, and now it is only six or seven hundred meters. The human physical strength has reached its limit. First, Tang Bo fell to the ground, then Zhang Ning and Qian Nan fell one after another.
Zhang Xujing quickly threw down her bag and leaned over to hold up her sister's back, but she saw that her pupils had begun to dissipate, her face was pale, her mouth was open with a dry and slit oozing blood, and she was breathing and unable to speak.
"Brother Zhang, Qian Nan fainted." Shen Dongling looked panicked. This fainting after overdrawing his strength was fatal.
Annie Liang and Pei Yan also stopped, but they looked around with panic expressions and looked blankly at the surroundings, and their reactions became slow.
"Don't run away." Zhang Xujing took off the mountaineering bag from his back and took things from the inside and out, "Senior brother, Dong Ling help."
Seeing this, Kong Linghai and Shen Dongling hurried over. The former asked in a panic: "Junior brother, what are you planning to do?"
The insect demon came over immediately. If he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to leave.
"Landing the formation." Zhang Xujing replied, handing the five-colored flag and five tokens to Kong Linghai, "three meters apart, the flag token overlaps and is inserted into the ground in a fan shape."
Kong Linghai took the token of the flag and inserted it into the land while watching it while breathing rapidly: "It's coming soon!"
"Shen Dongling, use red lines to connect the flags together."
"Okay." Shen Dongling quickly took it and turned around and tied it on the order flag.
Zhang Xujing's face was extremely serious, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead. He quickly took out the altar-shen wood. The almost condensed black dog blood, talismans, copper coins, and bags were turned over the back on the ground and put them down. The altar-shen wood and copper coins were placed on the back and pointed at the insect demon. He took out the incense burner, took out nine real incense sticks and inserted them in, and threw down a lighter.
"Senior Brother, light incense." Zhang Xujing didn't care after saying that, and took the talisman copper coins to the red line, folded the two ends of the talisman in half, hung the upper end on the red line, and threw a copper coin at the lower end.
The cold wind blew, and the talisman was about to fall on the red line.
Zhang Xujing had a serious expression and a very flexible and fast hand speed. She quickly put more than twenty pictures on the talisman.
"Brother Zhang, half of them went to chase those two people."
"Brother Zhang, here we are here!"
Shen Dongling was so nervous that she was about to suffocate. She stood in front of Zhang Xujing, her hands holding the steel pipe trembling gently.
