Chapter 631: The Day the Apocalypse Came
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao was quietly listening to their conversation. The day the apocalypse came, she was lying on her bed, having a fever. Next morning, she woke up to find the air pressure strangely high. That made her feel weird, as if she couldn’t breathe smoothly. At first, she thought it was because of her illness.
She weakly got up from the bed and drank a glass of water. Then, she suddenly heard screams from downstairs.
Hearing the screams, she felt that things weren’t right. She hurriedly dropped the glass, walked to the window, and looked down. There, she saw some of her army friends running out of the building in panic.
Following behind them was a strange man. He was walking in a very strange way with homolateral steps. He moved extra slowly and paused after every step; his head was weirdly tilted.
Due to the long distance, Lin Qiao couldn’t see his face and look. She saw a soldier who wasn’t properly dressed run past him, and then he suddenly turned and pounced on that soldier. He swiftly pressed that soldier to the ground, then lowered his head to bite him.
Lin Qiao was shocked at that time. Before she could figure out what was happening, a second scream was heard. Within a blink, she saw more weird people shambling out of the building.
She still remembered that first soldier’s scream. Back then, she automatically rushed to her closet and took her rifle out. She then quickly loaded and fired a shot at that weird man’s head.
She was in a special position in the army, so she had live weapons.
After being shot, that man stopped moving and lay on the ground. The soldier who was attacked by him became motionless as well.
Before long, disordered gunshots, alarms, screams, and yells were heard from the entire dormitory area.
Lin Qiao instantly forgot about her fever. She leaned against the window and carefully observed those shambling people. They were all moving very slowly with homolateral steps. However, when panicking people ran pass, those strange people would suddenly pounce on them and bite them like starving beasts.
All the people who were pressed down to the ground by those weird ones ended up being covered in blood. Some had their throats bitten through and stopped struggling shortly.
After a short observation, Lin Qiao differentiated those shambling people from the normal ones. Unlike the first weird guy she saw, the ones who came out of the building later were all covered in blood. Some even had their heads smashed, yet they still attacked other people swiftly.
As Lin Qiao prepared to fire the second shot, the door behind her was suddenly bumped open. Then, a man in a military T-shirt staggered into her room. His face was covered in blood, eyes rolling up, and mouth stained by blood as well.
She recognized that face, but at that very moment, it seemed so strange to her.
After breaking down the door, the man paused slightly, then lunged at Lin Qiao like those weird people downstairs.
Lin Qiao turned and swung her gun over while firing at that strange man.
The bullet hit him in the chest, but only managed to make him pause briefly. After that, he turned around and charged at Lin Qiao again, as if he wasn’t hurt at all.
It was already too late for Lin Qiao to fire another shot. She automatically turned the rifle around and smacked the man’s head with the gunstock. Next, she rolled to the bedside, took out her pistol, and fired at his head to stop him before he jumped onto her.
That night, the whole world had changed. After that night, zombies were everywhere. They attacked and bit every human they saw, and the ones who were bitten became zombies not long afterward. The apocalypse had arrived.
“What exactly is going on with that zombie?” Wu Chengyue changed the topic, “Will it gather a giant group of zombies to attack Huaxia Base when it runs out? It’s a zombie dominator. It should be very smart. It’ll surely bear a grudge!”
“Haha… I think Huaxia Base people need to be more careful when they get out of the base again!” Lu Zhuofeng laughed and agreed.
“That’s true! The zombie was locked up for so long, and they were taking its blood all the time. It clearly won’t be friendly to Huaxia Base,” Lan Lu rested his chin on his palm and nodded.
“It has killed quite some people this morning.” Earlier on when they followed Si Kongchen to the farm area, they sensed the scent of blood all the way.
Hearing that, Lin Qiao realized that she hadn’t asked Lin Kui about what he wanted to do yet. She wondered if he would want revenge.
She thought for a moment, then flashed into her space.
“Where is he?” Lin Qiao asked Xie Dong, who was in the living room alone. The latter pointed upstairs in response.
“Please tell him to come down,” Lin Qiao said to Xie Dong, then turned and walked out of the building while he went upstairs.
Lin Qiao walked out and saw Lu Tianyi squatting in the seedling field, weeding. That smart zombie was squatting by his side, seemingly doing the same thing.
Slap! Once the zombie reached out, Lu Tianyi slapped on his hand and stopped him, because he was not reaching to the weed. He was trying to pull out a seedling!
Lu Tianyi wasn’t able to talk, neither did he like to yell at the zombie with his weird voice. So, he gave the zombie a glare.
“Roar!” The smart zombie bared his teeth toward Lu Tianyi, then started ignoring him. Instead, he turned and reached out his hand again.
Slap! Lu Tianyi slapped on his hand again… The zombie tried again and again; Lu Tianyi slapped and slapped…
The zombie was having fun, but Lin Qiao clearly sensed that Lu Tianyi was getting angrier and angrier.
‘Those two are getting along pretty well…’
Lin Qiao glanced at that seedling field and found the seedlings growing healthily. She then turned to the other side. Lu Tianyi was already preparing the soil in that area, so he could transplant those seedlings there.
‘I’ll upgrade him when he has transplanted the seedlings. His mindset has already stabilized, so it’s time for him to upgrade,’ she thought.
While thinking, she heard footsteps from behind her. She quickly turned and saw Lin Kui following Xie Dong downstairs. He had changed into new clothing, and his hair were still moist.
“Before leaving, do you have anything to do to Huaxia Base?” She asked him while walking toward the couch area. Hearing her words, Lin Kui paused briefly, then had a cold light flash across his eyes.
“What do you want to do? I can help you on one condition—you are not allowed to hurt defenseless people,” Lin Qiao looked at him and said.
Lin Kui gave her a glance and then nodded. He never took an initiative to hurt humans. How could he possibly hurt defenseless people? Back when he ran into the farmland of Huaxia Base, he had already killed quite some soldiers who were chasing him.
There were a few people that he did not want to forgive. However, before he followed their scents to where they were, he was stopped by an army.
On hearing what Lin Qiao said now, he was tempted.
