Chapter 148 - Carrying a Girl While Escaping
In reality, a lot of people were not afraid of the Zombies, but if they were bitten then they would also become Zombies. This was the frightening part of fighting against them.
The risks were simply too high!
However, these people did not think about these things too deeply. If Wei Xiao Bei had been killed, then how were they going to safely escape?
Humans would only look at the things that were directly in front of them most of the time and would not look any deeper into the future.
It was not strange for people to do utterly heartless things for small profits.
Naturally, their words did not escape Wei Xiao Bei"s ears.
With his perception reaching 20 points, let alone whispers, he could even faintly hear every one of their heartbeats.
However, humans have sympathy. Even though the majority of them were frightened by the Zombies, there were still people who did not lack foresight.
The fair-skinned female college student stared at Wei Xiao Bei in the middle of the Zombies and muttered something while slightly hesitating.
In the end, she s.n.a.t.c.hed a wooden stick from the young man close to her and charged into the Zombies .
No one knew why she did this. A timid weak female had actually charged out to fight Zombies.
Could it be that she had gone crazy?
That was definitely possible!
Those were the thoughts that ran through everyone"s minds.
Although the girl was not a devastating beauty and had some freckles sprinkled on her face, her tender, white skin and exquisite body still made her extremely attractive.
“What a pity!”
The successful obsese man sighed.
For him, this girl was a lot better than the two he was previously flirting with.
He felt that the inner qualities of a college student was the best! He felt himself becoming pa.s.sionate as he looked at the girl that continued to run.
Naturally, no matter how pa.s.sionate he was, he would not risk his life and pull her back. This was something that he would never do.
As a rich person in the town, he had relied on swindling to earn his position today. He had not yet enjoyed it to the fullest, so he could not just die.
Most of the people also thought that she was only throwing away her life.
They believed that with the homicidal maniac"s temper, he would probably just leave her, and she would definitely die!
“Careful!”
Seeing that two Zombies about to reach Wei Xiao Bei from behind, she let out a cry and used the wooden stick in her hands to strike one of the Zombie"s head.
The girl was very courageous. Facing the terrifying Zombies, many girls, women, ladies, would probably turn limp and fall on the ground from fright. Her act of attacking the Zombie was a very admirable act.
However, courage was only courage. No matter how much courage she had, it would never replace strength.
Pow!
The wooden stick hit the Zombie"s head accurately. However, the attack had not even fazed the Zombie, and the girl did not pull back the stick on time, so the Zombie had actually caught the wooden stick. Another two Zombies that had been attracted by this situation quickly walked towards her.
The girl was too nervous. She forgot to just let go of the stick and struggled to pull it free from the Zombie.
Wei Xiao Bei sighed and swung his machete. He immediately killed the Zombie holding the stick and pulled the girl into his embrace. Then he stamped on the floor and quickly moved past the approaching Zombies.
“Stand still and don"t move.”
Wei Xiao Bei brought the girl out of the group of Zombies. Then he lightly pushed her away and went back to killing Zombies.
Although the girl was still slightly panicking, she stared blankly at Wei Xiao Bei"s back.
At this time, the amount of Zombies had decreased to less than 50.
Knowing this, Wei Xiao Bei became much more relaxed.
With the Zombies" speed, catching Wei Xiao Bei would be very hard.
If these normal Zombies truly wanted to deal with Wei Xiao Bei, the only way for them to do so was if he was surrounded by a sea of them. Only when his stamina would fully deplete, would he die.
Naturally, doing this was something the Zombies would not be able to do.
At the very least, there needed to be more than a thousand of them.
Wei Xiao Bei would just send the Zombies that charged towards him flying and chop off the heads of the Zombies that were going to ambush him from behind.
Suddenly, he frowned while staring hard at the street in front of him. He could sense great danger quickly approaching from that direction.
This danger had exceeded what he could cope with!
Without any hesitation, he abandoned the moving evolution points and ran away from the group of Zombies. He grabbed the girl with his left hand and threw her on his shoulder before she could even scream.
Soon, he quickly ran away in the opposite direction to where the danger was coming from.
As he ran, he bitterly smiled. This was the second time he placed someone on his shoulders in The Dust World.
It was also the third time he had saved someone!
Could I have gone weak?
After thinking about it, he threw these thoughts at the back of his mind.
This is not weakness!
This is simply a part of my principles.
Just like the previous observers, Wei Xiao Bei could not actually muster up the thoughts of saving people.
If he had been seen by actual saints, he would probably be sprayed to death by them.
He had the ability to save people, yet he did not do so. This was the epitome of a selfish action.
As he sensed the girl struggling on his shoulder, Wei Xiao Bei shouted, “Don"t move, or else I"ll throw you to the Zombies!”
Wei Xiao Bei"s threat made the girl immediately abandon the thought of struggling. However, he could still feel the soft body slightly trembling on his shoulder.
No matter what, she was still a girl.
Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei quickened his pace and ran to the edge of the plaza, frantically running into the Zombieless street.
At this time, skinless monsters with exposed brains were coming out from the street where Wei Xiao Bei had first perceived danger.
The monsters moved very quickly on all limbs and approached the plaza.
The Lickers had appeared!
Seeing that Wei Xiao Bei ran away, the observers sneered in their hearts. However, when they saw the Zombies chasing after them with slow speeds, they moved separately towards the other edge of the plaza.
Perhaps because they were afraid of Wei Xiao Bei, they did not chose to go in the same direction as him. Most of them had moved to the street opposite of Wei Xiao Bei direction.
This was because there were no Zombies in that street!
However, they did not know that in The Dust World, places with seemingly no monsters did not mean it was safe. This was because there could be stronger monsters hidden in them.
When a Licker appeared, the people just stared blankly.
The Licker"s appearance was shocking. The people who had not seen them before felt numb all over and were unable to budge their legs.
It was like a dog encountering a lion, an instinctive fear.
However, their thoughts of survival made them turn around and run.
It was clear that they had made a mistake in their choice of escape.
The Licker was very fast. It only needed three seconds to reach the plaza.
Pop. The man running at the back of the group immediately stopped as his head burst open.
The b.l.o.o.d.y tongue of the Licker pierced through the man"s head and retracted back again.
Following the first death, more Lickers appeared from the street. They were like wolves in the gra.s.sland that had found their prey. In just 20 seconds, the only person that was left in the plaza was one last scammer.
Fifteen Lickers had surrounded him on all sides.
Seeing the terrifying monsters, the man fell into despair. Perhaps because he was looking back on all the sins he had committed, a teardrop came out from his eyes, “Mommy…….”
Pop, pop, pop, pop…….
The 15 tongues had turned his body into a hornet"s nest. When the Lickers pulled back their tongues, blood splattered out like a fountain, instantly dyeing the place red.
After killing everyone, the Lickers immediately pounced on the corpses and ate their fill.
These high-leveled zombies had recovered their strength from eating blood and meat.
Perhaps because some of the Lickers still were full, they immediately moved towards Wei Xiao Bei"s direction.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei already reached the end of the street. A small district appeared before him.
Perhaps because it was The Dust World, that there could be a small district there. Because the street was cut off by the small district, there was a wall that exceeded 3 meters currently blocking the way.
Wei Xiao Bei followed the wall and ran. Then he noticed a locked gate. When he looked past the gate, he saw human figures moving back and forth in the small district.
Zombies!
Wei Xiao Bei was able to clearly see them from this distance. Since there were only a few of them, their threat against Wei Xiao Bei was not serious.
After crossing over the wall while carrying the girl, the Zombies were immediately attracted to the sound of him landing.
Seeing the Zombies, Wei Xiao Bei bitterly smiled. No matter how you looked at it, Wei Xiao Bei looked like a rapist and the Zombies were the heroic men standing up against him.
There were currently three Zombies approaching him, but Wei Xiao Bei did not stop moving. He quickly ran past the Zombies while also swinging his machete, killing two of them.
Just like most buildings in The Dust World, the buildings in the small district were in ruins.
Wei Xiao Bei did not know if the Lickers followed after him, but when he looked back, no Lickers appeared. He knew that this did not really mean that they were safe.
For predatory zombies like the Lickers, distance did not mean that they would stop chasing after their prey.
When Wei Xiao Bei moved through the district, he had already encountered some trouble.
