Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Fatal

"Ah, Aaron, save me..." At this moment, the young man who was being bitten lay on the ground, his neck straining to lift his head. He reached out his hand towards the young man named Aaron who was backing away in fear behind him. His handsome face was filled with fear, pain, and a longing for life!

 

This young man named Aaron covered his mouth, looking at his close friend with a broken heart. Tears streamed down his face. His body trembled slightly. He gritted his teeth suddenly, turned his head, and ran towards the exit of the street in big strides.

 

Dudian immediately saw that the walking corpse that was biting the young man on the ground seemed to be startled by his footsteps. It suddenly raised its head. Its disheveled face was filled with ferocity, and it suddenly chased after Aaron. Its running posture was extremely twisted, with its arms flailing around and its body swaying unsteadily, as if a drunk person about to fall at any moment. However, its speed was incredibly fast. In that wobbly gait, it seemed to find a strange forward inertia and quickly caught up with Aaron.

 

Aaron heard the commotion behind him and looked back in horror. He suddenly saw the sharp claws of the female walking corpse slashing diagonally down, like several sharp daggers. He was so scared that he quickly raised his short sword to block. Although he parried the claws of the female walking corpse, he was knocked down to the ground by the heavy force.

 

Seeing this scene, Dudian was extremely shocked and felt a bit of fear welling up in his heart. If he were to encounter such a walking corpse monster alone, with his current constitution, he would definitely not be able to survive. At this moment, he actually felt a bit of gratitude in his heart. Fortunately, he hadn't chosen this street. Otherwise, it would be him, Mekin, and the others who would end up like this.

 

Seeing that this young man was gradually unable to hold his ground, Dudian immediately had the intention to retreat. The thought of saving people that he had just a moment ago had long been thrown out of his mind. Although these scavengers from the consortium hadn't graduated formally, they had participated in scavenging many times, received blessings far more times than them, and were several times stronger than them in strength. At this moment, they couldn't deal with the walking corpse either. If he went out, it would be nothing but die.

 

Dudian turned back and waved his hand, indicating that they should leave quietly.

 

Mekin and the others stood behind. Although they hadn't seen the scene inside, they had heard the shrill screams and chewing sounds. After all, this ruin was so quiet that the sounds were transmitted extremely clearly. At this moment, seeing Dudian's gesture, their faces immediately changed. Remembering the Bone-eating Rats they had encountered earlier, they quickly began to retreat slowly.

 

At this time, four scavengers from the consortium came running from the other side of the street upon hearing the commotion. When they saw Dudian and the others at the opposite side of the street fork, they were stunned for a moment. Just then, they suddenly heard a scream coming from the corner. The handsome young man who was the leader of these four people changed his expression and rushed out immediately. He suddenly saw a terrifying scene. The young man named Aaron's arm was bitten by the female walking corpse. The sturdy black soft armor hadn't resisted the sharp teeth of the latter, and blood seeped out from the bitten area, sliding down the black armor.

 

"Walking corpse!" The handsome young man's pupils shrank, and he was a bit frightened, but he didn't want to retreat. He let out a loud roar, "Hold on!" Then he said to the three companions beside him, "Let's go together. First, hold it back and wait for the others and Scott to come."

 

The three companions also had terrified expressions on their faces. Upon hearing this, they didn't hesitate. They all gripped their short swords and charged towards the female walking corpse, with the handsome young man taking the lead.

 

The female walking corpse heard the sound and looked up at them. Its stone-gray face covered in blood showed ferocity. It let out a roar, stood up in that previously strange and twisted posture, and waved its arms erratically as it pounced towards the four of them, including the handsome young man.

 

The handsome young man let out a loud roar. He jumped up and kicked out with the force of his running. With a bang, he kicked the female walking corpse in the chest, sending her flying backward and falling to the ground.

 

When Dudian saw the four of them appear, he didn't leave in a hurry. He went back to the corner and continued to observe. When he saw the handsome young man knock the female walking corpse down, he couldn't help but feel a bit delighted. However, he didn't rush out to help. The agile speed at which the female walking corpse had run earlier still made him feel apprehensive.

 

When Mekin and the other two saw that someone had come to fight, they also crowded behind Dudian and peeked. They were immediately horrified.

 

When the handsome young man knocked the female walking corpse down, the other three immediately stepped forward to drag Aaron on the ground and pulled him backward to leave the battlefield.

 

At this time, the female walking corpse quickly got up from the ground. It let out a hoarse roar and pounced towards the handsome young man with its claws outstretched.

 

The handsome young man's face showed horror. He quickly swung his sword to slash. With a puff, the short sword slashed on one of the female walking corpse's arms and immediately cut into the stone-gray skin. However, no blood flowed out from the skin. From the cut surface, it seemed that the flesh inside was dark red, as if the blood had already coagulated. And this made its body extremely hard. The short sword cut halfway, and the remaining force was not enough. It seemed to be stuck in the bone inside.

 

The handsome young man's pupils shrank. He gripped the handle of the sword and pulled hard, but he couldn't pull it out for a while. At this moment, taking advantage of this short moment, the female walking corpse pounced on him. Its other arm raised, and its claws clasped towards his throat. With a puff, it immediately pierced the artery on the side of his neck. Blood spurted out and splashed on the female walking corpse's arm.

 

"Weg!" The three people who had just dragged Aaron away and came to help saw this scene and exclaimed in shock.

 

The handsome young man covered his pierced neck and stared with wide eyes. He seemed not to have expected that his young life would end here. He struggled to lift his head and looked at this terrifying face that was so close. His eyes gradually dimmed.

 

The female walking corpse let out a low growl, grabbed his body, and bit down on the other side of his neck, gnawing on his body.

 

"Monster!!" One of the chubby companions who rushed over roared angrily and grievously. He gripped his short sword and charged towards the female walking corpse.

 

The female walking corpse pushed away the corpse of the handsome young man and swayed towards the chubby young man.

 

"Pis, no, don't go!!" The two companions behind him immediately shouted.

 

But the chubby young man was already red-eyed and charged forward. The short sword suddenly stabbed out. With a puff, it pierced through the chest of the female walking corpse, which showed no intention of dodging. He was taken aback for a moment. He seemed not to have expected that he could kill it so easily. However, he didn't feel happy in his heart but felt even more sorrowful.

 

Just then, the claws of the female walking corpse suddenly tore at him. With a bang, one of the sharp claws that had mutated from its index finger pierced through the chubby middle-aged man's cheek. The tip of the claw stabbed out from the other cheek, piercing through his entire mouth. The intense pain made the chubby young man want to cry out, but he was too scared to make a sound. The next moment, he saw that terrifying and ferocious face quickly approaching him, and then... it bit into his face!

 

"Pis!!" One of the companions behind him cried out in grief, while the other one pulled him and quickly retreated backward, hoping to escape as far as possible during the time when the chubby young man was being eaten.

 

Dudian's face also changed. He didn't expect that four scavengers from the consortium couldn't fight against this female walking corpse. The most terrifying thing was that piercing its chest didn't affect it at all. Could it be that it was really an undead monster?

 

Suddenly, he thought of the female walking corpse that he had seen dead in the bathroom earlier, as well as the other walking corpse bodies on the way. Along the way, he hadn't just been looking for supplies. Instead, he had paid more attention to these walking corpse bodies. He suddenly thought of a common point among these corpses, that is, there were injuries on their heads!

 

Either sword wounds or arrow wounds.

 

Could it be that the head was their fatal spot?
