Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 977: Unknown Zombie
Chapter 977: Chapter 977: Unknown Zombie
“Junhao, it’s not just Wenxuan alone, only three of the dozen people with him returned, and recently, the Special Ability Users who went out have also been attacked by unidentified zombies.”
Wei Yinghao said with a frown.
If only Wei Junhao had returned a few days earlier, perhaps they might have been able to save a few more people.
However, the Snow Spirit Flower and the antidote they have now already make him very satisfied.
He plans to immediately summon some Wood Element Ability Users from the Wei Family, wasting not a single second. The Base’s Wood Element Ability Users can only be gathered the next day.
“Unidentified zombies? What does that mean?”
Wei Junhao asked.
“There are rumors that the same zombie leads the attacks with High-Level Zombies, and that zombie seems to think and even give orders.”
Wei Wei explained, though these are just hearsay, and he doesn’t know how credible they are.
“How is that possible? Zombies are just mindless creatures. If it’s leading zombies to attack humans, isn’t it a Mental Element Mutated Zombie?”
Wei Junhao said.
Wei Wei shook his head: “No, the survivors who returned said it mimics human actions, and even… they saw it speaking.”
“I don’t believe it, I don’t want to believe it, Wenxuan he actually…”
Wei Junhao sat down powerlessly, then clenched his fist. If what his father and uncle said is true, then he must find that instigator zombie to avenge his good brother.
“Junhao, for now, we will focus on the Snow Spirit Flower matter. You should rest for two days and not act rashly, do you hear me?”
Wei Yinghao guessed his nephew’s thoughts. What one person says might be a rumor, but if a group says so, that zombie should not just be a rumor.
It truly exists.
And hiding in the shadows, making it impossible for them to trace it in this Zombie-infested place. Thus, it is a very dangerous entity for anyone, and he doesn’t want Wei Junhao to take risks.
“Are we just going to watch it continue attacking humans?”
Wei Junhao retorted.
“Of course not. I’ve sent someone on a mission to S City Base to find Su Jin and Lu Hao, and now… we have the support of the Snow Spirit Flower, we should last a while.”
Wei Yinghao said.
Their original plan was to enlist the help of the Heart Talk Team because they had also sent people with the Mental Element Ability User, Mu Yunle, to look, but found nothing.
Wei Yinghao knows that the skilled young girl in the Heart Talk Team is also a Mental Element Ability User, and her Mental Element seems different from others, so he thought of issuing a mission for the SS-level Heart Talk Team to help.
“Heart Talk Team, huh…”
Wei Junhao lowered his head. As his uncle said, even if he wanted to do something now, he couldn’t, without a set target…
“Junhao, get some rest early, don’t think too much, you’ve been rushing back and it’s very tiring for you.”
Sheng Lanying advised, knowing how heartbroken Wei Junhao was. But Ou Wenxuan was indeed dead, and she hoped the Base could quickly restore peace and catch that zombie sooner…
…
In the Dead City adjacent to B City, the downtown area of C City remains deserted, yet countless zombies stand still in the silent night.
They remain immobile for long periods, only moving when they smell human presence or hear an attracting sound.
Rumble.
The sound of stones colliding was heard, causing countless zombies to slowly move towards it, only to accelerate into a sprint.
Because the sound was first made by a zombie, and now, a fresh scent of human filled the air in that direction.
The zombie jumped from the over 30-story building, intercepted midair by stone steps through its expertly controlled Earth Element Ability.
On its shoulder lay a human silhouette, who had already fainted but woke up in a cold sweat upon hearing zombies’ howling.
The man found himself being carried by a zombie, unsure of where it planned to take him, but seeing the seething swarm of zombies below like an ant nest, he feared the worst this time.
He wondered why the zombie hadn’t devoured him yet?
“Roar!”
The zombie carrying him bellowed at the zombie crowd below, as if finding them too noisy.
Miraculously, the zombie crowd really quieted down, continuing motionless as if they didn’t see him.
“You, what do you plan to do?”
The man attempted to communicate with the zombie, wondering if it was a good zombie, protecting him with its recent action?
Surely there was no response.
The zombie carried him into what seemed like a ten-story apartment, where, in the moonlight, he saw a figure standing by the full-length window.
The silhouette was evidently a woman with long hair.
He was thrown in front of the long-haired woman, and he looked up only to face a rotting face drawing near him.
“Jiajia, feast.”
The man suddenly heard a hoarse voice addressing the female zombie, spoken by the very zombie that had carried him…
But he had no strength left to resist, for his throat had been bitten through in the previous moment by the female zombie…
In the last moment of closing his eyes in unbearable pain, he seemed to hear that zombie saying something else:
“All Wei Family members must die…”
…
In B City Base, Wei Yinghao flipped through the outing and return records at the base’s entrance, sighing again.
Lately, the number of outgoing personnel from the base has significantly reduced, for reasons not difficult to understand, but continuing this way isn’t sustainable, with Zombies’ levels increasing outside, yet the Special Ability Users’ levels in the Base remain stagnant.
“Base Leader, there are no injured returnees today, only those who went out and haven’t returned.”
The gate register officer Zhao Hui reported.
Previously, a few injured people would return daily; some injuries weren’t fatal, while others were simply lucky. But as it’s already dusk, those who haven’t returned by now are generally considered ill-fated.
“I understand. If injured return, don’t obstruct them and immediately send them to the hospital.”
Wei Yinghao instructed sternly.
“Yes!”
Zhao Hui responded, though not understanding why.
More people not returning?
Watching the twilight settling beyond, Wei Yinghao resolved.
In that case, he would prioritize the survival of current base survivors and proceed with the next plan.
