Stirring Things Up in the Wasteland 193

Chapter 193

They were humanoid.

They had no life force.

Their bodies were broken, their limbs strange, twisted and contorted.

Their eyes were scarlet, dull and empty, without any reason.

They had abilities, and every move was fatal.

They were obedient skeletons.

They were puppets that could be manipulated at will.

When they were alive, they were “people.”

When they died, they were not “people.”

But they could still run, move, shout, jump, and kill without fear of death.

That’s right, they were already dead.

It’s hard to define what their existence means.

If there were zombies in this apocalyptic disaster, would they be like this?

Perhaps the only difference was that they couldn’t transmit their deathly mutation to others.

Was this a kind of blessing?

No, it was just another kind of sorrow.

The eternal night was too dark, and what was dark was not just the night, but also the unpredictable human heart…

Swish swish!

Swish swish! Swish—

There were too many in the darkness. Thirteen people against hundreds. Even if their individual combat strengths were not proportional, it was still, in the end, two words: a hard fight!

And besides, there was that even harder to fight Experiment Subject Five!

“Boss Song…”

“You guys don’t worry about him. He’s mine. Let’s deal with these first.”

Before Song Xun could speak, Feng Wancheng had already spoken with hatred.

He was an ancient martial artist, and like He Qing, his specialty was close combat. Even though he had awakened an ability, it was only a support type.

Close combat, fists and feet, were still his strong suit.

But Song Xun and Song Ye were different. Large-range ability users were the most advantageous in this war. They couldn’t be distracted.

“Old Feng, be careful.”

“Don’t worry, no problem.”

After speaking, Feng Wancheng clenched his fists, and with his other hand, he took out a machete from his back and went straight for that Experiment Subject Five.

The blackness of the eternal night had no concept of time. The same went for the slaughter and strife. And that Captain Li was just standing on the side, watching with a cold expression.

“Captain Li, these people are very strong! The hundreds of corpses didn’t even manage to kill them?”

Not to mention the shocked expressions of the people behind him, but that Captain Li’s expression had been the same from beginning to end. “Since we can’t kill them, then let’s add more.”

“But Captain Li, if we move all the corpses here, then what if other places…”

Captain Li’s cold glance immediately scared the person behind him into not daring to persuade him anymore. His face changed dramatically, and he lowered his head in fear and apprehension.

But they had clearly underestimated Song Xun and her group. Even if another fifty corpses were sent to support them, the group still managed to break through.

This time, that Captain Li’s face also changed. He probably hadn’t expected Song Xun and her group of more than ten people to be so troublesome. The hundreds of fearless corpses hadn’t even been able to trap them.

“Captain Li, what do we do?”

“Chase!”

The secret cannot be exposed, so they must die!

Although these people’s skills were also quite unexpected, Captain Li still believed that under such a dense pursuit, the destruction of this group of small insects was only a matter of time.

Ho ho!

Ho! Ho ho—

On the ruined long street of Menjing City, a group of people were panting as they ran, and a large group of corpses was in hot pursuit behind them.

The scene looked like a marathon. Of course, it would have been better if the sky wasn’t so dark and the scene wasn’t so gruesome.

The strange, elongated sound, mixed with the lingering smell of decay, spread in the wind, still so nauseating.

After running for several streets, although they hadn’t suffered any fatal injuries, the continuous fighting had still left everyone a little tired. Feng Wancheng was being carried by a male Alpha. Thinking about it, he still couldn’t help but get angry. “Damn it, they can’t be killed.”

“Can you believe it? I chopped off his head and he could still move.”

“Experiment Subject Five, the one in the park is Experiment Subject Seven. Does that mean there are other experiment subjects?”

“Damn it, what the hell is wrong with this South China base?”

Feng Wancheng had never been a chatterbox, but this time he was really angry. On the way, he hadn’t stopped talking. The person carrying him on his back was speechless.

“Brother Feng, we’re running for our lives now.”

He was just short of saying, Can you please shut up?

Feng Wancheng of course heard the subtext. He let out a deep sigh and, at least, stopped talking.

But he had stopped talking, while Song Xun wanted to. For the first time, she was being chased with her tail between her legs. She really couldn’t swallow this.

So angry!

“We were too careless. We should have been more careful,” Song Ye sighed.

“But we were already careful enough.”

Whether it was following that Captain Han or entering the library ruins, they had still been discovered. Where was the problem?

There was no time to think. At this time, a large group of corpses rushed out from the ruined street in front of them. The night vision goggles were not very clear, but there were at least a hundred of them.

Seeing this group of people, they roared and rushed over, their sharp teeth bared like mad dogs.

Immediately, the faces of the group turned grim.

“Damn it, has this Menjing City already become a city of corpses?”

“I think so. How many bases have been slaughtered, how many survivors have died? If so many people have been made into this damn thing, then the number should be quite large.”

“Hey! Can you guys stop talking? The enemy is here…”

“…”

Song Xun held her Miao Dao and, with a low curse, she rushed at the crowd, followed by Song Ye and the others.

The thirteen of them all had grim faces. And Song Xun was even more so. She ran up and, without a word, she slashed at the corpse.

Her speed was too fast, and with the addition of lightning, the corpse didn’t even have time to dodge. The blade went down its forehead and split it in two, all the way to its waist. Unfortunately, it was already a dead corpse. Even if it was dismembered, there was no blood, just a foul, rotten smell with pus that wouldn’t go away.

It sprayed out and splattered all over her. She couldn’t dodge in time and was sprayed in the face. She raised her hand and wiped her night vision goggles, but her vision was cloudy and she couldn’t be bothered. She gripped her Miao Dao and went straight for the next one.

This time, it seemed she had gone berserk. The corpses that had surrounded them were almost endless. To put it simply, she couldn’t kill them all.

In the end, she was numb from all the killing.

The cold glint of the long blade reflected in the cold wind, and the sound of clashing and killing was endless, and it did not dissipate for a long time.

Song Xun found an opportunity and released an off-road vehicle from her space, blocking the majority of the attacking corpses. Sang Mu put away his military knife and quickly opened the car door, jumping in. He quickly started the car and called out to the others to get in.

Song Xun and Song Ye covered the others as they got in. When the car door slammed shut with a “bang,” and the off-road vehicle sped away in the ruins of the eternal night, the two of them jumped onto the roof, one in front and one behind, on guard.

Blocking the attacking corpse swarm.

The off-road vehicle was fast to begin with, and especially with Sang Mu driving like a madman, the bumpy ride made everyone too sick to even vomit. But at least they had temporarily shaken them off.

As the car accelerated, it was almost pressing against the corpse swarm as it struggled to leave the block. Alright, they were still in hot pursuit from behind.

They couldn’t even shake them off. The group didn’t dare to relax for a single moment.

“Damn it, why are they so troublesome!” Sang Mu cursed.

An ordinary corpse was probably transformed from an ordinary survivor. Although they were brave and fearless, their abilities were ordinary. It was just their large numbers. But a corpse transformed from an ability user was a different story.

Not only could they maintain their original abilities, but they had also been enhanced by their fearlessness, and their physical strength and power had been increased. They were really not easy to fight.

And now, the ones chasing behind them were this type of corpse. Although their numbers had decreased, their ability strength had gone up.

“Sang Mu, drive faster! Let’s hurry up and shake them off and get out of the city!”

Sang Mu also gritted his teeth, his head covered in sweat. “I know, I know. I want to too.”

He also didn’t want to be hunted like this.

But this damn Menjing City, they just couldn’t get out. There were corpses everywhere. The car was crazily rushing forward. Song Xun and Song Ye were standing on the car, back to back, one stabilizing themselves, the other fighting off the corpses that were jumping up.

It was a good thing the two of them were top-tier in their abilities, and they were both high-level, large-range attackers. Otherwise, they really couldn’t have handled this chaotic scene.

But because they were not familiar with the terrain of Menjing City, and they had never been here before, and now there was no map, Sang Mu could only drive around randomly.

After finally shaking off the corpse swarm for a while, and after a series of twists and turns, Sang Mu drove the car into a place with pine trees on both sides of the road. It seemed to be some kind of forest park.

Now it was a mutated forest…

“Sang Mu, drive the car in.”

Song Xun, Song Ye, and the others’ eyes all lit up. A mutated forest was good. At least it was better than being surrounded by a corpse swarm.

Since they couldn’t leave Menjing City for now, they might as well rest first.

And so, Sang Mu made a sharp turn of the steering wheel, and with a screeching sound of the tires on the ground in the darkness, the off-road vehicle rushed into the dense forest without hesitation.

There were many trees in the dense forest, all of them very tall and dense. Although they couldn’t compare to the mutated plants on Ning Mountain that had been nourished by spiritual energy, they were still very thick and lush.

Sang Mu and the others who had just joined Ning Mountain were all very apprehensive. Although they also knew that the mutated forest on Ning Mountain was a friendly force, and they had guessed that Song Xun and the others probably had a way to control mutated plants, at this time, they were still a little unavoidably worried.

Worried that if something went wrong, they would be caught between a wolf and a tiger.

But their worries were completely unnecessary. The three of them, Song Xun, Song Ye, and Ji Chao, had already mastered the technique when they were controlling the mutated plants on Ning Mountain. This time, it was still a piece of cake.

But, just as the group had just controlled the nearby mutated plants to create a temporary safe haven, before they could even take out food and water to solve their stomach problems, suddenly, a wind rose.

It didn’t matter that a wind rose, but the foul, rotten smell of the corpses also came with it.

Song Xun: “…”

The others: “…”

Ho ho!

Ho! Ho ho—

Damn it, they’ve really found us. They’re like ghosts.

The group couldn’t rest anymore and quickly got up.

“Retreat, retreat first!”

As they were quickly retreating, a question also uncontrollably came to mind. Why so fast?

Why so accurate?

After all, how did they find their location?
