Chapter 1159: Go Down Tonight
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Zheng and his men followed Yuan Tianxing into the tent. They all knew what place that was, and that all the soldiers in uniforms were actually zombies. Except for Feng Yuming, the others were rather calm.
Feng Yuming shrank behind the tall and strong Lei Yao, carefully following the others in.
“Oi, do you have to be like this? Aren’t you feeling ashamed? What are you afraid of? They’re our friends now. They won’t pounce on you. Look at your cowardly face!” Lin Yu couldn’t bear watching the scared look on his face.
“Shh! Keep your voice down! What if they heard you and got mad!” Feng Yuming immediately turned and put a finger against his lips to signal for Lin Yu to shut up. He was really afraid of zombies! He couldn’t help! What scared him was actually their eyes.
The purely dark eyes of zombies looked like black holes that seemed to suck him in. No one knew what was in that darkness. He felt as if he would sink into the darkness and die of suffocation.
He was really scared of those eyes. Before, he never had the courage to look at the eyes of the zombies in the zombie movies that he watched. Unexpectedly, the eyes of real zombies turned out to be even scarier!
It had been so many years, but he still hadn’t gotten used to those zombie eyes!
“I don’t even know what to say. Some of the others are afraid of zombies because the zombies they saw attacked people and fed on people. Many of the zombies here have restored their memories and regained their humanity. Why are you still so afraid of them? Speaking of which, our Chief is so powerful that she even managed to help them restore their memories!” Lin Yu said and suddenly fell into his admiration toward his Chief again.
Feng Yuming moved to his side and whispered to him while carefully looking at the surrounding zombie soldiers, “You’re right, but I can’t help it. They look so scary to me! I don’t care if this is embarra.s.sing or not. I’m almost losing control of myself. Let’s move!”
Before he pushed Lin Yu to make him move faster, someone suddenly dragged the back of his collar and pulled him back.
“Ah! Who?” Feng Yuming automatically gave a shout and turned to look at the one who pulled his collar. He saw a gray-haired old man who had gold pupils. The old man was smiling at him while holding his collar with one hand.
“Boys, you two were pretty loud. We all heard you,” Old Guo’s face wrinkled in the smile. His eyes were even squeezed into a pair of lines.
Seeing his eyes, Feng Yuming exploded. The boy abruptly hopped onto Lin Yu and wrapped his body up with his four limbs as he burst in screams, “Ahhhhhhh! Zombies!”
The zombie soldiers who were standing guard or pa.s.sing by simultaneously turned to look at him with their purely dark zombie eyes. Lin Yu, who was held so tight by Feng Yuming, didn’t even know how to respond.
Yuan Tianxing and Li Zheng were startled by the young man’s shrill scream. They turned to see what was happening and then both felt speechless. “Mr. Guo, these two will be left under your guidance.”
After saying that, Yuan Tianxing turned and left.
Watching Yuan Tianxing leave, Feng Yuming cried, “Boss, help!” He couldn’t believe his boss left him there just like that. That was so cruel! Why the h.e.l.l did his boss leave him with a zombie old man!
Lin Yu turned back and dropped his head as he politely said to Old Guo, “I’m sorry, Mr. Guo! I was so rude!”
Old Guo t.i.ttered and said, “You seem to be handling this well. Unlike you, this boy is quite interesting. Come on, let me take you out to grow some courage. How can you be such a coward? You’ve lived in the post-apocalyptic era for so many years, yet you’re still afraid of zombies?”
Feng Yuming wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. He turned to look at old Guo, but didn’t dare to look at the zombie in the eyes. “I… I can’t help it!” The young man held Lin Yu as he turned his eyes from side to side while talking to Old Guo.
Lin Yu raised his hands to pull his arms, attempting to free himself from the young man’s embrace. In the meanwhile, he complained, “Alright, get off me! You are so heavy! You’re an over six feet tall man. Why are you hanging yourself on me? Get the h.e.l.l off me! This is very awkward.”
“Brother, please don’t leave! What if I had a heart attack after you left?” Feng Yuming put his feet back on the ground, but he still held Lin Yu firmly with his arms.
Lin Yu suddenly regretted talking to him just now!
Li Zheng turned back and gave them a glance. Old Guo was still holding the back of Feng Yuming’s collar while Feng Yuming was still holding Lin Yu’s neck, and Lin Yu was trying very hard to push him away. That scene looked so hilarious and awkward at the same time.
Old Guo put his face near Feng Yuming as he popped his eyes and looked at the young man, “Are you afraid of me? Are you really afraid of me?”
Feng Yuming immediately turned his eyes away and closed his eyes while yelling, “I’m sorry, Mister! I… I-I…”
Lin Yu spent a short while struggling, then realized that he was unable to get the young man off his body. So, he gave up, rolling his eyes as he said to the old man, “Mr. Guo, it was our fault. Please kindly forgive us! This kid might have some mental problem that is beyond cure. I’m afraid that you might scare him into unconsciousness.”
Old Guo glanced at Lin Yu, then relaxed his grip on Feng Yuming’s collar. Right after that, Feng Yuming got off Lin Yu and out of the base within a blink, leaving Old Guo and Lin Yu glancing at each other.
Soon, the day was over. Yuan Tianxing started to look outside frequently, waiting for Yun Meng’s signal.
Before long, Yun Meng showed up.
“They aren’t coming back here… They’re moving forward. Based on their speed last night, they’ll move more than ten miles forward tonight. In around ten days, they’ll be approaching the rat nest in the zoo. I hope that’s their destination.” Yun Meng came in and said to Yuan Tianxing.
He nodded in response and said, “Since they’re not coming back here, we should start moving now.”
Seeing the helpers that Yun Meng sent to him, Yuan Tianxing slightly turned his head to give her a glance, seemingly to ask her why she was sending the old man down to the cave too.
“Why are you looking at her? I want to go down there. It’s nice to see something new,” Old Guo held his hands behind his body and brushed his beard with his fingers while talking smilingly.
The others looked at him speechlessly. Did the old man want to get into the cave for fun? He was so like a child. The serious look on his face could not conceal the fact that he was actually like a naughty child on the inside!
Yuan Tianxing looked at Yun Meng again, who just shrugged, “Just take the old man with you. These are all zombie leaders with earth power and metal power. If any danger occurred down there, they will make things easier for you guys.”
“Hm, thank you!” Yuan Tianxing nodded at her, then turned and sat in a car.
An off-road car and a small military truck carried the tens of humans and zombies, heading toward the cave entrance.
