"The situation seems to be dire."
Huang Biao took a breath and said.
He could already imagine what the situation was. It seems the Security Bureau people have been scattered. They would only be dispersed in a severely disadvantageous position.
Su Changxing wasnât surprised by this kind of situation at all and calmly said, "Lead the way, letâs find them first and understand the situation."
Lin Xiuyu nodded and decisively led the way, running in one direction.
More than twenty people were neither too many nor too few, moving swiftly and silently. The only noise was from the zombies, but that didnât quite count as noise.
These zombies sometimes ran aimlessly, wandered, and let out howling sounds.
"Right ahead, very close. I have already contacted them. Many new humans are hunting them down."
Lin Xiuyuâs eyes gleamed with blue light; he quickly whispered.
Zhu Wenwu asked, "Right ahead?"
Lin Xiuyu nodded and said, "Yeah, right ahead."
Zhu Wenwu nodded at Su Changxing and said, "Iâve already spotted those new humans, not many, just more than ten, on the neighboring street."
Su Changxing lifted the Steel Saber and instinctively said, "Okay, letâs take them out first; donât make too much noise."
He took the lead and dashed towards that direction. Turned the street corner and saw more than ten new humans clearing zombies on the street, searching around the houses.
"Who!"
A shout came from the new humans over there.
They didnât immediately recognize Su Changxing and the others; the lighting was too dim.
Shortly after, those new humans saw more than twenty people rushing towards them from half a street away, with immense oppression.
Su Changxing stormed ahead, raised his hand, and a swift, clean cut decapitated the person in front with broad arms dragging a huge wooden club.
The head flew high, filled with disbelief; he saw Su Changxingâs action but his body couldnât keep up, like a fish on the chopping board.
At the first contact between the two sides, half of the new humans were cut down, the remaining were stunned... These humans seemed somewhat different from those encountered before.
Zhu Wenwuâs power had unknowingly grown considerably, his strength and speed at least 30% greater than before, his overall strength much higher.
He charged ahead into the new humans, cutting down three in total, moving to the other side.
"Really going all out."
Zhou An watched Zhu Wenwuâs figure, sighed, and continued quietly throwing Flying Sabers from the corner.
The sound of slaughter instantly resonated, attracting nearby zombies, but it didnât last long before the street went silent again.
Limbs and flesh covered the ground; only one new human with severed legs was still alive, seated on the ground looking at the terrifying people around, shouted:
"What are you going to do! Donât kill me, donât kill me..."
Ye Yongqiang carried a bloody large axe on his shoulder, kicked him, and laughed:
"Haha, this guy is really afraid of dying, was the first to run but I stopped him."
This axe was just taken from these new humans, seemed quite fitting for him.
Chang Yi stroked his chin and said, "So you just chopped off his legs."
Ye Yongqiang nodded and said, "Pretty much the reason, scared ones are easier to ask... Wouldnât you say? Give some info and Iâll let you go."
He looked at the new human on the ground, grinning sinisterly.
Seated on the ground, the new human said with a weeping tone, "I didnât want to, but it has come to this, I just want to live."
Ye Yongqiang showed a surprised expression and said, "You are from the same world as us?"
Among these monsters, some were from their world, monsters with human consciousness, known as new humans.
The man on the ground quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I am, my name is Wang Nongshui, we are all compatriots, donât kill me."
Ye Yongqiangâs eyes showed gloom and laughed, "Haha, alright then, tell us what you were doing just now."
Wang Nongshui hesitated for a moment and said, "There are other humans who escaped nearby; we are hunting them down."
Ye Yongqiang wanted to say something else, but Su Changxing patted his shoulder, squatted down, looked at Wang Nongshui, and said indifferently:
"So you guys are organized; who is your leader?"
Wang Nongshui shivered under Su Changxingâs gaze, feeling immense pressure and said tremblingly:
"I... I donât know, we only follow someone called Big-headed Ghost, but who he listens to, we donât know."
"Us newcomers have no status; any abnormal behavior would get us killed. They are devoid of humanity."
Su Changxing nodded, showed a gentle smile, and said:
"Interesting, so you fought with those humans before; where are they right now?"
"Ah!"
Confusion flashed in Wang Nongshuiâs eyes and said, "I donât know, we came directly here to hunt these people..."
"I see."
Su Changxing showed a thoughtful expression, stood up, and signaled to Ye Yongqiang.
Wang Nongshui saw Ye Yongqiang raise the axe high and shouted, "You said you wouldnât kill me!"
The axe struck him in the chest; the blade pierced through his body and embedded into the stone floor, flesh and blood splattering far away.
Ye Yongqiang wiped the blood on his hands on his clothes, laughed, "I changed my mind."
Su Changxing looked at Lin Xiuyu, who caught up from behind, and said:
"Letâs go check where you found that person; Zhong Jueqing and the others shouldnât be nearby."
Lin Xiuyu looked at the bodies on the ground, paused, and said: "Yeah, alright, heâs in that building up ahead that looks like an exhibition hall."
Although this place is called a town, itâs actually quite large, equivalent to a small city; hiding someone here could be pretty easy.
The group reached the exhibition hall entrance, where there were two zombie corpses.
Zhou An looked at the bodies on the ground and commented, "This is just covering oneâs ears; the new humans would definitely spot them if they come by."
Lin Xiuyu observed the surroundings and said, "They should be injured, no room to deal with these zombies; letâs go upstairs to find them."
Su Changxing nodded and went upstairs with Huang Biao following Lin Xiuyu, while others stayed below to keep watch.
Several oil paintings hung on the walls, the content quite abstract; many people painted, but their faces were unclear, giving a bizarre feeling.
Huang Biao cracked a sarcastic smile and said, "Can stuff like this be put on display? I could paint like this when I was six."
Su Changxing nodded, "Indeed, quite terrible; maybe the owner here is wealthy."
Lin Xiuyu walking ahead silently said, "Iâd say, arenât you two too relaxed... Though I think the paintings arenât bad."
