Chapter 127 - Scapegoat
Bang bang bang bang! As the carriage knocked over several zombies, Qiao Zhongxing could not help but rejoice inwardly.
Thank goodness that Qiaoqiao was attentive and ordered the most comfortable and durable style of carriage, so this carriage was made for security. Even if it was attacked by nearly 20 zombies simultaneously and multiple times, it would not immediately dissemble.
When the carriage charged into the crowd of zombies, several zombies immediately launched themselves at Qiao Zhongxing, the driver.
Qiao Mu shot several arrows consecutively, exploding the zombies’ heads.
When they entered close range fighting, Qiao Mu tossed the repeating bow back and lightly leapt onto the left wheel.
A black ferule flicked out of her right hand, emitting a mystic energy light, and smacked down. It destroyed the heads of the zombies that climbed onto the door of the carriage and knocked them off.
Elderly Lady Qiao and her daughter’s screams could be occasionally heard from inside the carriage.
The little foodie finally woke up from the piercing screams. She rubbed her eyes and was confused by the sight in the window across from her.
Suddenly, a rigid hand pierced through the window and the ashen arms tightly constricted around Qiao Wenjuan’s neck.
Elderly Lady Qiao sharply shrieked.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhongbang hastily used his bow to hit the zombie’s arm, but the zombie did not budge at all even after several hits. Qiao Wenjuan was about to lose consciousness from the chokehold.
“Juan’er.”
Whoosh! Shaoyao stayed on guard next to Wei Ziqin and Qiao Lin but shot an arrow toward the zombie’s head, rescuing Qiao Wenjuan from danger.
Qiao Wenjuan clutched her neck with a green face and harshly coughed. Without waiting for her to recover from the shock, a large explosion rung and a zombie suddenly jumped down from the roof. The zombie and Qiao Wenjuan stared at each other.
“AH!!!” Qiao Wenjuan released a horrific scream and did not pause before shoving her mother from her side toward the zombie.
This shove pushed her mother directly into the zombie’s arms.
Creak! Elderly Lady Qiao’s left leg was immediately snapped broken by the zombie.
She was trembling with pain, her eyes brimming with disbelief!
On the brink of death, her daughter pushed her out as a scapegoat! This was her little daughter who she had doted on for 17 years! The little daughter who she spoiled and protected every day, unwilling to let her suffer the slightest grievance!
“Mother!” Qiao Zhongbang’s pupils dilated. He flung the broken bow onto the zombie’s head and leapt over, swinging a punch at its head.
“Leave! Leave!!!” Qiao Wenjuan kicked her legs and sharply screamed as she moved to Wei Ziqin’s side.
Currently, half of the carriage’s wall had collapsed and only Wei Ziqin, Qiao Lin, and Qiao Hu’s side remained intact because Qiao Mu was guarding the exterior of their side. She would heavily brush off any zombie that charged over here with her mystic energy.
Ao’ye had already released his mystic beast to deal with the pursuers, so the majority of the zombies had been stopped behind them, unable to chase them and allowing Qiao Mu and her group an opportunity to breathe.
The zombie that was choking Elderly Lady Qiao was kicked down by Shaoyao.
Shaoyao reached out to pull Qiao Zhongbang, distracted for a moment. When she looked back, she was met with the sight of Qiao Wenjuan launching herself at Xiao Lin’er in Wei Ziqin’s arms like a maniac.
“Husband’s sister, you…” Wei Ziqin exclaimed when she saw Qiao Wenjuan pulling Xiao Lin’er’s arms and legs with a malicious expression and snatching her child from her, utterly disregarding whether she would pull off the child’s limbs.
When Qiao Lin cried from the pain, Wei Ziqin did not dare to forcefully snatch her child back and slightly relaxed her hold, but the child was stolen by Qiao Wenjuan during this lapse.
“What are you doing???” Shaoyao angrily shouted, rage enveloping her eyes.
“Wah…” The little foodie, who had a delayed reaction, finally felt fear. She frantically kicked her short legs and twisted her body, calling for her mother.
