BXBX NOVEL Chapter 192 - 116: Rush Knee Guards l
“Little Ting…”
As they looked at these pitiful women, someone sobbed uncontrollably.
Thwack!
Xiang Hongbin pulled out a dagger and took care of the four female zombies one by one.
Han Rui felt her scalp tingle. Just how vile a person must one be to commit such acts? Even a thousand cuts wouldn’t be too many for such people!
However, Han Rui was also confused. Hadn’t Gao Hua said that he killed these women? So how did they turn into zombies?
Gao Hua also felt a bit queasy, but he was observing everyone. Seeing the confusion in Han Rui’s eyes, he hastily explained,
“Unless the head is violently destroyed, even the dead will turn into zombies once infected by the virus…”
He was lying. But such things had happened; he had seen it himself—a survivor jumped from a building and, by chance, crushed a zombie. Both died, but merely a minute later, the survivor climbed back up as a zombie.
“So that’s how it is…”
Han Rui didn’t doubt his words.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tao glanced at Gao Hua.
Seeing Gao Hua’s affirmative look, Wang Tao pondered. He hadn’t witnessed such events himself, but Gao Hua had no reason to deceive him. He’d need to be more careful in the future.
Beyond the four female zombies, Wei Zhenguo ordered others to kill the rest of the pitiful women who had turned into zombies.
“Aside from those slaves and Shao Yong’s group outside, there are no more living humans in this base…”
Wei Zhenguo glanced at Gao Hua.
A ruthless man indeed, to have single-handedly wiped out a Survivor Base!
“Gather up the supplies, then let’s leave quickly!”
Wei Zhenguo immediately called out.
Though the fight had been underground, he couldn’t guarantee it wouldn’t attract other zombies. It was best to leave swiftly.
“Yes!”
The group immediately sprang into action.
As detestable as the people in this base were, supplies were innocent and should not be wasted.
Still, everyone was somewhat displeased.
One reason was witnessing the gruesome acts, and another was the lost opportunity for personal vengeance.
When everyone had arrived, these people had already turned into zombies. Though their bodies remained the same, they were no longer the same people. This kind of revenge was certainly dissatisfying.
“Lucky for them, had they held on a bit longer, I assure you they would have begged for death!”
Xiang Hongbin punched a wall fiercely.
He was infuriated. Based on what these people had done, dying a million times wouldn’t be too much; letting them become zombies was letting them off easy.
But there was nothing he could do about his frustration. He certainly couldn’t run to the hospital to seek revenge on Shao Yong…
“Sigh, let’s go.”
Wei Zhenguo patted his shoulder, and the group began an orderly retreat.
Wang Tao returned to the vehicle, looked at Han Rui, whose face was still a bit pale, and squeezed her hand, saying,
“Are you okay?”
Han Rui instinctively gripped Wang Tao’s hand tightly.
“I’m fine, though those images are hard to shake off… I’ll adjust soon, don’t worry about me.”
“Okay.”
Wang Tao glanced at Han Rui’s HP bar, which was no longer losing blood, and said no more.
The scene on the negative third floor had caused everyone who witnessed those things to lose blood to different extents. Even Gao Hua, who had seen it before, lost quite a bit of HP.
Those things were practically a mental attack!
Probably many would have nightmares tonight.
However, Wang Tao noticed that, perhaps due to his strong spirit, he lost the least amount of HP, dropping only 1 point each time for a total loss of about a dozen points. Han Rui lost the most, a full 100 points.
Indeed, women seemed to have a somewhat weaker psychological tolerance. Of course, it might also be related to the fact that the victims were women, provoking empathy in Han Rui.
Wang Tao allowed Han Rui to keep holding his hand, not withdrawing it, and then he said to Gao Hua at the driver’s seat,
“Let’s go.”
“Yes!”
Gao Hua quickly started the car and followed Wei Zhenguo and the others as they left.
The trip back wasn’t smooth. They encountered several large swarms of zombies and even Elite Zombies.
But now Shuize Base had nearly mobilized its entire force, with six Ability Users alone, not to mention other soldiers, police, and combat personnel. Facing these Elite Zombies, Feng Ming’an would stealthily approach first, vomiting to ensnare the Elite Zombies. Then Wang Tao and others would finish them off.
The Elite Zombies they encountered were all types they had seen before, so they knew the tactics to use against them, which meant there was little danger.
After killing several Elite Zombies and the sun had set entirely, the convoy finally made it back to the base safely.
“Phew—We’ve finally returned safely!!”
Once everyone got off the vehicles, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Their mission of revenge was fraught with life-threatening danger, not just in the underground mall but also during the journey there and back.
Thankfully, their luck held, and the careful planning of their route by Wei Zhenguo, who explicitly avoided some of the more dangerous areas, meant that despite some twists and turns, they returned without major incident.
“Everyone, take a good rest for a few days and avoid going out…”
Wei Zhenguo addressed the crowd.
Though the operation was successful, everyone was tired, both physically and mentally, and needed ample rest.
“Yes!”
People nodded and then dispersed.
“You two go ahead and get back first, I’ll go upstairs. The post-battle rewards and such, we’ll start with that tomorrow.”
Wang Tao said to Han Rui and Gao Hua.
“Yes! Brother, if you need anything, just command. I’ll head off first..”
