Chapter 167 - Gu Jie
Qin Yi was a little vexed, but she let it go very soon. Who knew what would happen in the future?
In just a short while, the group arrived at their destination. The hospital was surprisingly large, but this also meant that there were more zombies.
Qin Yi hadn’t gone in yet when she saw three people running out of the hospital anxiously. The one leading was a youth with delicate facial features, followed by a little girl around 11 or 12 years old and a middle-aged man.
When the three of them saw Qin Yi and the others, they ran over like they had just seen their saviors. When they came close, the youth said urgently, “Help us! There’s a very powerful zombie at the back and even three ability users can’t defeat it.”
When Gao Yuan heard what the youth said, he was surprised, quickly looking at the back, but there wasn’t any zombie behind these three people at all. However, Gao Yuan still took the words of this youth seriously.
Qin Yi glanced at the little girl, who was pursing her lips, and wondered what rank zombies they had encountered.
As the ability users progressed, the zombies rose in ranks as well and began to possess abilities. Previously, Qin Yi and the others had encountered a Rank Three zombie. Thankfully, Qin Yi had already reached the third rank at that moment; otherwise, they would have been in grave danger.
Qin Yi stroked her chin, her phoenix eyes filled with interest.
She needed the crystal cores desperately now. Xiao Lan had a huge appetite and needed a lot of crystal cores. But even when Qin Yi hunted zombies every day, their supply was still quite low.
Also, this fella was very picky, insisting on having Rank Two zombies’ crystal cores, apparently despising Rank Ones now.
Now that there was a slightly higher-ranking crystal core, how could Qin Yi not be excited?
Yun Huan and Gao Yuan looked at one another, seeing the caution in each other’s eyes.
Gao Yuan patted the shoulders of the youth and comforted him, “Talk slowly and don’t panic. There aren’t any zombies chasing you now, you can relax.”
When the youth saw that there weren’t any zombies chasing after them, he calmed down.
After Gao Yuan saw that the youth had composed himself, he introduced himself, “I am the Captain of the Thunder squad, Gao Yuan, and that is the captain of Yun Huan’s team, Yun Huan. Now, what about this zombie that you were talking about?”
“My name is Tang Ju and that is my younger sister, Gu Jie, at the back, and our friend Wang Zhi. The three of us accepted a mission to go to R-City and collect ten bags of rice. After we had completed the mission, I wanted to go to the hospital and see if I could get some medicine for my sick mother at home,” Tang Ju paused, fear appearing in his eyes. “When we entered, there weren’t any zombies at all, so we thought that the zombies in this place had been cleared out. While we were walking around, a large herd of zombies came out of nowhere and blocked this door. Then, a very powerful zombie appeared, one that could actually spit out fire.”
Tang Ju’s voice was a little sharp as he panted and continued, “This zombie didn’t kill us directly. Instead, it kept displaying its skills in front of us, like it was messing around with us or something. Thankfully, Wang Zhi is a gold ability user and was able to open the door, allowing us to escape.”
Tang Ju was very traumatized, remembering that if he hadn’t insisted on going into the hospital, they wouldn’t have nearly lost their lives.
Gao Yuan knit his brows together and asked, “You’re saying that this zombie not only has fire ability, it also has a mind of its own?”
Tang Ju saw that Gao Yuan didn’t believe him and insisted anxiously, “It’s real! Why would I lie to you? You guys can ask Xiao Jie and Wang Zhi, they have seen it too.”
Tang Ju was about to take an oath.
