Chapter 309
That evening, everyone held a simple celebration banquet.
It was also a farewell banquet.
Because the next morning, everyone would return to their respective bases.
As for those rescued in Rong City, they chose to stay.
Rong City was their hometown.
They were unwilling to leave their homeland and travel far away.
Naturally, everyone supported this decision.
Zhang Piaopiao and the people from her base were also preparing to leave the next day.
Zhang Piaopiao felt a bit reluctant.
She said it was a real pity she couldn’t fight with Yun Xiaoxiao every day.
As for Earth Traveler Sun and the others...
“From now on, you’re free to go wherever you want. But don’t go around stealing things anymore, or next time we meet, I won’t let you off so easily.”
After Yun Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Earth Traveler Sun and the others exchanged uneasy glances.
They had never imagined they would regain their freedom.
But now that they were suddenly free, they felt a bit lost.
A few of them nudged Earth Traveler Sun, giving him meaningful looks.
Their former leader had already died in the battle at Rong City.
Now, their group was like a ship without a captain, scattered and disorganized.
Being told to leave so abruptly left them unsure of where to go.
Receiving their hints, Earth Traveler Sun hesitated for a moment. Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao about to leave, he quickly spoke up.
“Little Base Leader, um... we don’t have anywhere to go. Can we follow you back to your base?”
As soon as he finished speaking, urgent shouts suddenly came from outside the museum entrance.
“Help! Where’s Ling Jing? Where is he? Hurry, save him!”
A man, looking frantic, dragged another man with a slight limp inside.
The limping man was in bad shape, his body trembling as if he were cold.
“If he’s injured, just find someone with healing abilities. Why are you looking for Ling Jing?”
Nie Yizhou, hearing the commotion, walked over with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed.
“Wait, he’s not injured—he’s been infected with the zombie virus, right?”
At his words, everyone stopped their laughter and turned to look.
“Weren’t all the zombies wiped out? Where did he get infected?” Tang Jun asked, his expression serious as he approached.
Both men were from his base.
If someone was infected, he couldn’t just ignore it.
Seeing everyone’s eyes on him, the man who had called for help quickly explained, “It’s like this. We went outside earlier... to relieve ourselves.
It was too dark, and he accidentally tripped over a brick, scraping his foot against the wall.
He thought it was just a scratch and didn’t think much of it.
But after a while, he started sweating profusely and said he felt unwell.
When I lit a lighter to check, I realized something was wrong.
The spot where he’d scraped his skin was bleeding!
And besides the blood, there was some yellowish, sticky fluid.
I rushed to check the spot where he’d tripped, and my heart sank.
There was a large pool of zombie blood and brain matter there!”
Hearing this, Tang Jun immediately drew a knife.
“Young Master Jun, what are you doing?!”
The man shouted in alarm, quickly stepping in front of the injured man.
Tang Jun remained calm. “He’s been infected. He’s going to turn into a zombie soon. We can’t let him live. He has to be killed.”
“No!”
The man roared, his emotions running high.
“He can’t die! He can still be saved! If Ling Jing is willing, he can turn him into a half-zombie. You can’t kill him!”
At this, Yun Xiaoxiao, Nie Yizhou, and the others all furrowed their brows.
How did he know about this?
Wasn’t the incident with Ah Hao strictly forbidden from being discussed or leaked?
“What does Ling Jing have to do with this?” Tang Jun was also confused.
Before the man could explain, he saw Ling Jing approaching.
Without hesitation, he rushed over.
“Ling Jing, isn’t it true that if you bite someone, you can turn a person infected with the zombie virus into a half-zombie? I’m begging you, save my brother. If you save him, I’ll do anything you ask.”
He pleaded desperately.
The infected man was his sworn brother, and he couldn’t just watch him die.
Ling Jing glanced at the injured man and shrugged.
“Sorry, it’s not that I don’t want to save him. It’s just that it’s too late now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud growl erupted.
The injured man had completely turned into a zombie and lunged at Tang Jun, who was closest to him.
Tang Jun reacted instinctively, driving his knife into the zombie’s head.
*Thud!*
The man collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
“No!”
The man cried out in anguish, rushing over and falling to his knees.
“We promised to survive together!”
He wept bitterly.
Suddenly, he raised his bloodshot eyes and glared at Ling Jing.
“It’s all your fault! You could have saved him—why didn’t you?!”
“Are you insane? He’d already turned into a zombie. How could he have been saved?” Nie Yizhou couldn’t help but retort.
Though he wasn’t particularly fond of Ling Jing, he was still one of their group. This wasn’t his fault, and it wasn’t for an outsider to accuse him.
But the man seemed not to hear Nie Yizhou. He continued to cry and laugh hysterically.
“Hah, you said all the zombies were wiped out, didn’t you? I don’t think so!
There are still two right here!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He pointed at Ling Jing and Ah Hao, laughing maniacally.
Then he rolled up his sleeve, revealing his bare arm, and rushed toward Ah Hao.
He shoved his arm toward Ah Hao’s mouth.
Sure enough, Ah Hao’s expression changed in an instant.
He opened his mouth wide, ready to bite.
“Ah Hao, don’t bite!”
Lei Ming and the others shouted in alarm.
Ling Jing also frowned and said softly, “Stop.”
As soon as he spoke, Ah Hao immediately calmed down.
“Hahaha, did you all see that? He wanted to bite me!”
The man laughed wildly, pointing at Ah Hao.
“He wants to eat raw flesh! Isn’t that what zombies do?
And him!”
He glared at Ling Jing.
“He can control zombies!”
Like a madman, he paced in front of everyone, ranting as he walked.
“Do you know what this means?
It means...”
Just as he was about to continue, a small figure suddenly appeared in front of him, her expression stern and icy.
“If you say one more word, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
The man laughed bitterly. “Hah, don’t try to scare me. My brother’s already dead—what do I have to fear?
I know you people from Yun City are powerful.
What, do you really think the world revolves around you?
You can’t even handle the truth.
Feeling guilty?
You can kill me if you want, but if you do, you’re just using your strength to bully others!
With so many people here, I don’t believe there’s no one who will stand up for justice!”
What do you think?
