Chapter 329: 328 novel cognition Having observed the transformation of people into Zombies up close, Shi Caixia, Da Fu, and Xiao Fu, had finally made a true connection between humans and Zombies. It was a novel realization. Of course, they knew that the Zombies they killed, before becoming Zombies, were alive just like them. But knowing was one thing, and witnessing with their own eyes was another. It’s like how people know what a tsunami is, but only when they see the devastating power of a tsunami with their own eyes, does the shock and fear in their hearts differ. Hua Mi gripped her long sword, lightly touching the snow with her toes before leaping high with her large belly. As she fell back down, the long sword chopped at the head of a Zombie on the ground. The blood was still fresh; these newly transformed Zombies didn’t have the kind of coagulated blood, thick as yogurt with icy chunks in it, that you get from Zombies frozen over. What was that? Icy blood yogurt? From a distance, Zhou Cheng led a Garrison back from a kill, having cleared Zombies along the way and dragging several exhausted survivors by the collars of their clothes, dumping them onto the snowy ground. Watching Zhou Cheng’s team turn to leave and kill other Zombies, The survivors on the snowy ground raged impotently, “What were you Garrison doing earlier? Where are you going now?” “This place is dangerous, you can’t go, you can’t leave.” He felt terrified, not knowing what sort of mess Ni Shuiwen’s team had blasted their way through, how had there suddenly become so many Zombies? Even if they drank an entire bottle of “Energy Water Drop,” they couldn’t handle so many Zombies. “You always say the Garrison will protect survivors, but look at us, when we were surrounded by Zombies, where were you Garrison then?” “I don’t know what you’re all doing, all those Zombies, can’t you see them?” Why would Zhou Cheng pay him attention? It was precisely because there were so many Zombies nearby that he now needed to lead his team to kill Zombies and save people. The survivor on the ground jumped up, trying to catch up with Zhou Cheng to argue. A bright, shiny long sword lay across his neck. Hua Mi, like a large-bellied bird, landed lightly behind the man. She said ominously, “Don’t delay the Garrison from saving others. If you want to die, I’ll oblige you.” Shi Caixia was also furiously swinging her axe, “It was you bastards that blew up the ice layer, releasing the Zombies on your own accord, it was you!” “Now that you can’t handle it, you’re blaming the Garrison for not rescuing in time.” “When the Garrison had planned training exercises for you, where were you?” The long sword against the survivor’s neck, he turned his head back, trembling all over. When he saw Hua Mi behind him, his face contorted into an expression uglier than crying, “What do you understand? You don’t know how many Zombies there are, no matter where we run, Zombies will appear.” “Zombies everywhere, in the streets, in the alleys, everywhere!” What a terrifying sight, though Zombies were easy to kill, they could only be eradicated if they managed to finish them all. No matter how powerful the survivors were, no matter how many “Energy Water Drops” they had, they just couldn’t seem to kill all the Zombies. Kill one, and another pack emerges. Once the “Energy Water Drops” were gone, without money to buy more, Zombies kept coming from all directions, denser than a flood tide. Some survivors, trapped by Zombies, simply tore their Teleportation Tickets and left, unable to carry their luggage or vehicles. Others were torn into pieces by Zombies right before their eyes. Such despair and terror were something they had never experienced before. Hua Mi watched the frenzied survivors with a cold eye, “I thought you were already prepared for this, wasn’t that what you were expecting before you blasted open the ice on your own?” It’s like someone going to a noodle shop wanting to eat a bowl of noodles, but feeling it’s not enough, so they decide to order 10 bowls. Before ordering 10 bowls, they would surely have a basic understanding and mental preparation for how much 10 bowls would be, right? “And is this really that many zombies?” Hua Mi cocked her head, genuinely puzzled. In her previous life, when zombies appeared, they were not encased in ice, and overnight, Hua Mi’s surroundings were full of zombies. Densely packed, a large swath of them. Compared with the zombies in D City, their numbers were several times greater. This number of zombies, really, was not many. Once they experienced several Zombie Tides attacking the city, they would understand that the current scene was still just a warm-up. However, the way Hua Mi asked this gave people a sense of disdain, as if asking why not eat mince. Those survivors sitting on the ground raised their heads and glared at Hua Mi furiously, “What the hell are you talking about? You haven’t seen how many zombies there are. If you were in such a predicament, even surviving would be difficult.” “I can’t stand it; I need to return to Xiang City. I can’t stay here.” On the ground, there were already survivors struggling to get up, intending to retrieve their luggage and vehicles from the safe zone. They were relatively lucky; at least they had their lives and needed to leave quickly. Hua Mi picked up her long knife, grasped the handle, and knocked their knees with it. Her action was extremely fast, so fast that no one saw clearly how she moved. The survivors that were kneeling felt excruciating pain in their knees and gritted their teeth as they looked at Hua Mi, “What do you mean by this? We have done nothing to offend you from beginning to end.” They recognized Hua Mi, knowing that some people looked down on her and wanted to trouble her. But that was others; from beginning to end, they had never stepped forward to harm Hua Mi. So why was this pregnant woman making things difficult for them? They just wanted to live well. Holding the long knife with the blade trailing on the snowy ground, Hua Mi slowly walked toward the entrance of the safe zone, “Survivors from D City can’t go back to Xiang City; no one knows if you’ve been infected by the zombies.” “The virus can lurk in the human body for 48 hours. You can teleport back after two days; I won’t stop you then.” Within those 48 hours, survivors could turn into zombies at any time. The transformation process is slow for some, very fast for others. But for most, the outcome would be seen within 48 hours. Two days isn’t hard to bear. Some survivors on the ground gnashed their teeth, “Your way of doing things is too much like a bandit. Countless survivors from D City have already flown back to Xiang City, and some of them have been bitten by zombies.” “That’s why you can’t leave even more. The teleportation points in Xiang City are probably overwhelmed now. Going there adds to the workload of Xiang City’s medical staff and the garrison.” Hua Mi, with her long knife in hand, stood in front of the entrance to the safe zone, “I’m not responsible for others, but no one can fly back under my watch.” “I’ll make it clear, anyone who dares to tear a Teleportation Ticket, I’ll chop off their hand.” After a pause, Hua Mi looked at the few survivors on the ground with bedraggled expressions and kindly said, “If you still have the strength, you can go kill zombies. Didn’t you initially want to kill more zombies to earn more Crystal Cores?” “It’s the opportunity to get rich that you all desperately wanted, isn’t it?”
