"Shut up! If you keep screaming, you'll attract all the zombies!" Lin Qingqing thought to herself that something was wrong, but it was too late to stop. The auntie's shrill screams had already drawn all the surrounding zombies.
With so many people gathering in one place, the smell alone was enough to attract the zombies' attention. Coupled with this woman's sudden and random howling, even the zombies in the distance were likely to notice.
"You're talking nonsense!" She still wanted to refute, but before she could finish, she heard rustling sounds all around.
Seeing this, the auntie shrank her neck in fear and said in a subdued voice, "It must be you. You're the ones who brought these monsters here, you witches!"
"Zombies are attracted by smell and sound. It was you who lured them here!" Lin Qingqing sneered. She really had never seen such a stupid person.
"Nonsense. How could a few words of mine attract them? It must be you. You used your sorcery!" The auntie didn't believe it. "I really don't know how these people managed to survive. Don't they even know the habits of zombies?" Lei Min was surprised. She looked at Lin Qingqing worriedly and pointed at these people, asking, "Sister Lin, what should we do?"
What should they do? Lin Qingqing was also thinking. If she wanted to leave Lei Min here, they would surely have to help these people get rid of these zombies. But just thinking about helping these stupid people made her feel really uncomfortable.
"Sigh～" Looking at Lei Min's big, watery eyes, Lin Qingqing secretly sighed.
"Let's wait and see for now. If there's really no other way, we'll give them a hand." "Oh..."
Lei Min could also tell that Lin Qingqing was reluctant. In fact, she felt the same way. Who would be willing to help someone who had just cursed at them?
However, after all, these were their fellow humans. If they just watched them die in the hands of zombies, Lei Min couldn't bear to do that either.
On the other side of the crowd.
Seeing that the zombies around them were really attracted, these people finally panicked. They had seen zombies devouring people. Now that the man - eating monsters were about to reach them, they were in complete chaos.
"What should we do?" This was from someone who was scared witless.
"It's all Liu Huifen's fault. I was staying at home peacefully, but she insisted on calling us out," this was a complaint.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die. What should I do? I don't want to die!" This was someone shouting randomly.
"Where are Dazhuang and Chuanzi? Hurry up and kill these monsters."
There was also someone a bit more sober. After reacting, he immediately pushed two young men, one tall and one short, to the front of the crowd.
These two young men were obviously ability users. The one named Dazhuang was strong, and the one named Chuanzi was fast. One was holding an axe, and the other was holding a watermelon knife.
The two pushed out looked at each other, both with bitter expressions on their faces. They were indeed ability users and had killed zombies before. But those previous zombies were killed one by one with their cooperation. They had never faced such a large group alone.Just looking at this group of zombies was enough to make one's calves tremble. But there was no way out. They had boasted so much before, and now the two of them were indeed pushed forward as saviors by the crowd. Having received so many benefits, how could these people allow them to back down?
In order not to be drowned by the spittle of these uncles and aunts from behind in the future, Dazhuang and Chuanzi could only bite the bullet and go forward.
"The God Erlang is here! Demons, come and meet your doom!" With no way back, the tall and strong young man roared, gritted his teeth, and charged forward. The short young man behind him spat, cursed "XXX" under his breath, and followed suit.
"So this is the 'God Erlang' who subdues demons," Lin Qingqing said, shaking her head as she looked at the tall and strong strength - type ability user.
In fact, in her opinion, there was no need to risk their lives in this situation. Running together was the best option. First - level zombies moved slowly. As long as they ran desperately and hid, they would basically be out of danger.
But these people obviously relied too much on these two young men. They had never killed zombies with their own hands before and didn't understand the zombies' habits. So now they could only circle around in place.
In fact, the number of these zombies wasn't that large. For Lin Qingqing and Lei Min, it would only take a few rounds to deal with them. But Dazhuang and Chuanzi weren't as confident as they were. They didn't have much combat experience in the first place, and this time they were forced to fight. So from the beginning, they were at a disadvantage.
Seeing that the two young men were getting more and more exhausted, Lei Min couldn't help but want to step forward and help.
"What do you want to do?" At this moment, when Aunt Liu saw Lei Min coming over with a weapon, she immediately rushed forward vigilantly and grabbed her clothes to stop her.
"Can't you see they're in danger?" Lei Min was very puzzled by Aunt Liu's actions.
"Nonsense! That's the God Erlang! You witch, you must have bad intentions if you go over there!"
"I have bad intentions?" Lei Min never expected that her kind act of trying to save them would be regarded as having bad intentions.
She was extremely angry. Seeing that her kindness was taken as ill - will and that the two ability users didn't show any sign of asking for help, she closed her eyes and decided not to meddle anymore.
Lin Qingqing seemed to have expected this. There wasn't much surprise on her face. Seeing Lei Min looking so aggrieved, she patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. "According to the logic of these people, even if you help and save their lives, they won't be grateful to you."
"I know..." Lei Min replied in a low voice. She also knew in her heart that this group of people's exclusion of female ability users had reached a level of demonization.
Lin Qingqing had always seen things clearly. She had no intention of redeeming such a group of people with such a distorted mentality. Her only goal was to send Lei Min safely to their camp, nothing more.As for whether Lei Min would choose to leave or save those female ability users who were called "witches" in the future, that would be her own decision.
Lei Min didn't understand Lin Qingqing's thoughts. She was a bit confused as to why Sister Lin, who clearly had no intention of saving these people, still didn't leave.
On the other side, the two young men were already clearly feeling overwhelmed. Not only did they have to face the continuously arriving zombies, but they also had to endure the constant complaints and screams from the uncles and aunts behind them.
Some people, out of fear, even subconsciously stretched out their hands to pull their clothes, making them stand in front as shields, which made the already difficult situation of the two even more precarious.
Gradually, Chuanzi, who had lower physical strength, made the first mistake. His arm was scratched by a zombie's claw as he couldn't dodge in time. The fresh smell of blood made the zombies pounce on him even more frantically. And when Dazhuang saw his companion injured, he also started to feel a bit scared and unconsciously began to retreat.
Until he heard Chuanzi's "Ah～" scream, he could no longer hold on and turned around to run back.
But he had only run a couple of steps when the uncles and aunts behind grabbed his arms and pushed him back in front of the zombies.
This behavior was fatal to Dazhuang, who had already lost his fighting spirit. He struggled desperately, but the dozen or so hands behind him wouldn't let go of him.
Just like that, Dazhuang, who couldn't break free, also met the same fate as Chuanzi with a scream.
Watching Dazhuang and Chuanzi, whom they had trusted the most, being submerged in the encirclement of zombies, the uncles and aunts were completely dumbfounded.
