Chapter 598: A friend in distress and a foolish woman

The constantly echoing sound made Zhang Wufeng frown slightly. He glanced at the door - the door of the hotel. Perhaps in order to facilitate certain people's work, the door of this high-end room was extremely solid. With the abilities of those zombies at the moment, it would be very difficult to break it open.

Zhang Wufeng was not too worried about the woman's safety. If she liked to scream, let her do it. He did not like this kind of woman who allowed herself to fall into depravity for whatever reason.

There is always a reason for degeneration, but a strong person, even if incompetent, will find a better way to face difficulties than selling herself. Choosing to sell herself may seem strong and unyielding, but by doing so, what will her future life be like? It will be no different from those numb prostitutes who face millions of men all day long, because everyone has a reason for degeneration.

And what would her relatives and friends think?
This is not greatness, but ignorance and stupidity.

Therefore, Zhang Wufeng really lacks good feelings towards such women.

Zhang Wufeng turned his head and looked at the remote corner where he jumped up. In the distance, there were actually two people he was very familiar with - Yang Encai and Han Lisha!

Yang Encai and Han Lisha were students of Professor Yang Wubing whom he met on the Xisilitan Peak. There were five of them together with Zhao Dongsong and Li Lu. However, Li Lu had joined the Sun family bunker, while Yang Encai and Han Lisha had temporarily chosen to do their own things.

Seeing these two people at this time, although Zhang Wufeng at this moment looked a little different from the previous Zhang Wufeng, and no one would probably recognize him anymore, but the other party seemed to be in danger, so Zhang Wufeng took action immediately.

……

"Don't make a sound."

In a narrow and dim corner beside the street, a young man covered the mouth of the girl beside him and looked with horror at the huge figure that flashed on the main road beside him. Both of them knew that the figure that was chasing them all the way was definitely not a normal person. Although the shape was similar to that of a human body, the whole body was twice as big as that of a human. The skin all over the body was torn, and strong tendons were exposed on the surface of the skin. Blood was still oozing from the torn wounds, and the skin on the face had long been unrecognizable due to the explosive growth of bones and muscles. They roamed every corner of the city, looking for every human who could be used as food.

And they are exactly what humans have mutated.

Gradually the mutated monster walked away. The young man finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put down his hand that was covering the woman's mouth. The woman stared at the cold face with fear in her eyes.

"Encai, what...what is this? What are they? Why are they everywhere..."

"Follow me, let's get out of here quickly."

Without much explanation, Yang En dragged Han Lisha, who was still a little dazed, and ran in the opposite direction of the monster...

Except for Yang Encai, it is estimated that no one in the city would know the truth of what happened at this time. In just a few hours, a large number of residents turned into zombies, and what is more terrifying is that some humans turned into more terrifying monsters like the one in front of us, and the mutants either infected the remaining normal people or madly bit the survivors as food. These monsters, which should be called mutants, are no longer human in the natural definition. After normal people are infected, their muscles, internal organs, and bones grow rapidly. The skin on their bodies is torn apart, and the muscles and white bones are exposed on the surface. They have strength far beyond that of ordinary people, but have lost the nature that humans should have. Bloodthirstiness and brutality constitute the fragile consciousness of the degenerated brain, and humans have become captured food, as if they only exist to kill humans.

In just a few hours, this city, which originally had tens of millions of residents, turned into a dead silence. Everyone either turned into zombies or monsters or was eaten alive by zombies and monsters. There were indeed not many survivors.

Yang Encai himself understood that the reason he was able to escape from the school alive was undoubtedly due to the information he had received from Professor Yang and the long-term consumption of Tianfeng wine. The professor's reminder gave him enough time to take Han Lisha away from the serious cross-infection area, and the long-term consumption of Tianfeng wine also gave him enough physical strength to run for a long time...

At this moment, Yang Encai had only one thought in his mind - to escape from this city filled with death.

Under the dim light, the two people ran one after the other towards the outer edge of the city. Gradually, the sky darkened, but the two did not dare to stop running. Finally, after a long time, a weak figure slowed down.

"Encai, I can't run anymore..."

The girl stopped and sat down on the ground weakly, gasping for breath. Yang Encai also stopped following her voice.

"Shh..."

He suddenly placed his fingers in front of his lips, signaling her not to make a sound, and helped her walk to the end of a quiet street. After looking around, he slowly sat down.

"Don't speak too loudly. It's dark here, so it's safer. Let's rest for a while before we go."

The two men sat down at the end of a street on the outskirts of the city.

"Everyone is dead. Almost everyone in the school is dead."

Han Lisha shook her head vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes, and she buried her head in Yang Encai's arms.

"At least we are still alive, and we must try to survive."

He raised his hand and gently stroked Han Lisa's messy hair, and said thoughtfully.

"You mean..."

"If what Professor Yang said is correct, based on the sudden outbreak this morning and the predicted rate of infection, I estimate that there should still be about 10% of the people alive in the entire city, but everyone on the streets should be dead."

Yang Encai took out a cigarette from his pocket. The lighter made a crisp sound, and the faint flame illuminated the dark face more clearly, then immediately dimmed.

"Professor Yang said that? What exactly is going on?"

Her woman's intuition told her that since Yang En was able to help her escape from the city, he must know something unknown.

"This……"

Yang Encai hesitated for a moment and put down the cigarette that was about to reach his mouth.

"Well, actually I know very little. It's all from the message Professor Yang left for me."

"What message did Professor Yang leave for you?"

Han Lisa stared at him with big eyes.

"Yes, I just got the news before this."

Yang Encai fell into deep thought.

"The thing is, the destruction of the Sky City caused the alien virus to instantly radiate to the entire earth, so people with poor resistance will be infected by the virus at the first time, and ordinary people will become zombies. People with poor resistance but strong consciousness will become mutant beastmen. In addition, some insects will mutate into mutant beasts, such as mutant mice that have grown hundreds of times larger. The scary thing about these things is that they can coexist with mutant zombies, and zombies can also hunt these things to gain greater IQ improvements and control them..."

Listening to his story, Han Lisha's face became paler. She couldn't imagine this nightmare-like scene. Cuifang, her roommate who was originally in class with her, suddenly swelled up rapidly. Then Cuifang mutated into a monster and tore the limbs of people around her like crazy. Suddenly, the whole classroom was splattered with blood and flesh, and internal organs and broken limbs were scattered all over the floor. Facing the monster that no one could stop, everyone screamed and ran towards the exit in fear. Just as Cuifang rushed towards her, a pair of strong arms firmly held back the claws reaching out to her. It was Yang Encai who had just rushed over.

"Luckily you arrived in time."

Han Lisa sighed with lingering fear, her body still trembling slightly.

"Are there any marks on your body from Cuifang's scratches?"

Yang Encai suddenly thought of something and stared at Han Lisha with a nervous look. The nervous look made the girl's originally frightened eyes even more deepened. She shook her head numbly.

"That's good. The professor mentioned that this mutation is transmitted through blood. As long as you are scratched by a mutant, you will be infected, so the speed of infection is also so fast."

"then you?"

Han Lisa nervously pointed at the torn clothes on Yang Encai's arm. She clearly remembered that Yang Encai was injured when he blocked Cuifang's attack for her. If what the professor said was true, then...

"I won't be infected. This is what the professor said. It's been three hours and I haven't mutated, so this can be confirmed. I don't know the reason, but I think it has something to do with Tianfeng Wine!"

"Heavenly Wind Wine?"

"Yes, as you know, I drink Tianfeng wine every day to support Brother Wufeng. It seems that Tianfeng wine can improve the body's resistance. The professor said that those who have not mutated after an hour can withstand the radiation and virus, but they still cannot be injured, otherwise it will be really dangerous. After being injured, if there is no mutation after an hour, there will be no mutation, and I survived for two hours."

After Yang Encai finished speaking, he casually touched the sword fixed on the backpack behind him, looked at Han Lisha with a puzzled face and continued, "According to the news, the professor asked me to take a metal box in this backpack to a designated location, which will be an absolutely safe place."

"Where are we going? Where is safe?"

"I don't know either. The professor only gave me the route and coordinates. I estimate it should be very far from here. The specific location should be..."

At this point, Yang En suddenly stopped, and his head, which had just been raised, froze there, his eyes staring straight ahead. Han Lisha also noticed his somewhat stiff posture at this time and looked in the direction he was looking.

About fifty meters away was the only way out of this closed street. Under a dim halo, a 2-meter-tall humanoid figure appeared at the intersection and slowly walked towards the two people. Its body was covered with dark red blood that had evaporated, and dark milky white mucus flowed from its mouth from time to time on its lowered head.

"It's...it's a monster. What should we do? We can't escape!"

Facing the mutant in front of her, Han Lisa's face turned pale. It was obvious that this hideous mutant had discovered the existence of the two people and had begun planning to enjoy this delicious meal.

Yang Encai did not answer. His eyes were fixed on the figure fifty meters away. He slowly reached behind him and pulled out the long sword with a graceful arc.

"Stay back and don't come over here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the halo reflected by the smooth blade flashed across his face in an instant. Yang En stood up and blocked Han Lisa behind him. Then, he slowly walked towards the monster with a sword in hand and an expressionless face.

Faced with the only exit being blocked, he had no choice. Although he might be defeated by his opponent and die here, he would certainly die if he just stood there and waited for death!

"Since you won't let us go, I have no choice..."

An angry voice resounded through the dark night sky, and a figure slightly shorter than the mutant began to run in vain.

"Roar!"

The mutant was also angered by Yang Encai's action. He immediately roared loudly and spread his arms, ready to fight.

Yang Encai quickened his pace, holding the sword that was emitting a chill. The sound of wind rang in his ears, and his eyes were fixed on the mutant who was getting closer and closer in front of him.

"what!"

The blade chopped down vertically at the mutant's head, and the mutant immediately raised his left arm to try to resist.

"Qiang!"

The blade deeply embedded itself into the muscles of the mutant's arm, spurting out milky red blood, but when it touched his tough bones, it became completely ineffective except for the crisp sound of collision. At this time, the mutant turned and swung his other fist, which was left with only bones, towards Yang Encai's abdomen.

"what……"

With a long scream, Yang Encai was immediately knocked out more than 20 meters away. The moment he landed, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth, staining the ground around him red. The pain in his abdomen made his body twitch a few times involuntarily. Seeing this, Han Lisha hurriedly ran to his side.

"Eun-chae, what's wrong with you?"

She looked at Yang Encai in horror as his body trembled on the ground.

"This guy's bones are really strong!"

Yang Encai sighed secretly in his heart. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the mutant not far away, who was looking at him with a slightly upturned corner of his mouth, like a young child looking at a toy that he was playing with.

"Is there really no other way?"

The anger deep in his heart kept beating. He couldn't believe that he would die here today. He was unwilling to accept this!

"Go, get away from here!"

Yang Encai pushed Han Lisha away, picked up the sword while enduring the pain, and stood up again with his hands covering his abdomen and leaning on the sword. There was a crazy light in his eyes. He looked at the figure getting closer and closer in the distance, and launched a charge again while enduring the pain in his chest!
Yang Encai was running so fast that the air around him even caused quite a stir due to his running. Han Lisha, whose hair was blown up by the wind, opened her mouth in surprise as she looked at Yang Encai, who was running twice as fast as a normal person, and her crazy eyes became brighter and brighter in the dim light!

"Yang Encai..."

She watched the scene with her eyes wide open.

"what……"

Shouts of killing resounded through the night sky, and Yang Encai rushed over almost madly. When he approached the mutant, the angle of the tip of the knife suddenly changed, and the knife shadow reflecting the halo drew a graceful arc in the air, and the blade went straight to the mutant's neck.

"puff!"

The blood vessels in his neck were severed immediately, and milky red blood spurted out onto his face. However, because the mutant's bones were unusually hard, the sword stopped when it was halfway through.

"die!"

With a long howl, Yang Encai put all his strength into his arms, and the stagnant sword suddenly moved again. The mutant's head immediately flew off the huge body, and blood splashed into the sky. The mutant did not make any sound. The headless corpse waved its arms randomly for a few times, then fell on its back with a "bang" and twitched for a few times and stopped moving. Yang Encai stood still, and drops of blood kept dripping down the tip of the knife. Seeing this, Han Lisha's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down, and she walked towards Yang Encai, who had his back to her.

"Eunchae, what's wrong?"

She noticed his strangeness and suddenly slowed down her approach. Yang Encai stood there stiffly, as quiet as a sculpture.

"Encai..."

Yang Encai still stood there motionless. When Han Lisha turned to face him...

"what!"

She was so scared that she took a few steps back involuntarily. Yang Encai, whose body was covered in blood, stared at the front with a ferocious face. His eyes burst into a fiery red light. He stood there motionless like a mad lion. There was no sign of life. Only his continued breathing proved that he was still alive.

Han Lisha didn't know why such a situation occurred. The scene before her was beyond her expectations.

"Encai..."

Han Lisa placed her hand gently on Yang Encai's broad shoulders and shook him gently.

"Encai, I'm Lisa, look at me..."

A tear fell down her face. She didn't know what happened to Yang Encai. She had no choice but to call out like this. Finally, after a few minutes, the pair of fiery red eyes gradually dimmed and returned to their original black pupils. Yang Encai's hand moved slightly, and then he grabbed Han Lisha's hand.

"Encai, are you okay?"

Han Lisa wiped the tears from her eyes, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. But he smiled and nodded.

"What did you just do..."

"Let's go. The smell of blood here is too strong. It will attract more zombies and mutants. I'll explain when it's safe..."

He grabbed the backpack with one hand and took Han Lisa's hand with the other, and the two disappeared into the darkness again...

The dim city was deathly silent. The dark yellow halo sprinkled on the vast land, making this city filled with the breath of death even more desolate.

On the edge of the city, two survivors were still running in order to leave here alive. Finally, a figure suddenly stopped in the empty land, supporting himself with his knees and gasping for breath.

"Okay, it's quite far from there, let's take a break..."

Yang Encai looked around alertly and nodded. He knew that after an hour of running, Han Lisha's physical strength was close to the limit. So the two of them found a remote corner of the alley and sat on the ground. Yang Encai took out biscuits and water from his backpack and handed them to Han Lisha.

"Eat something and then get some sleep."

Han Lisha didn't take it. She felt like vomiting every time she thought of the scene of corpses everywhere. Although her stomach was empty, she had no appetite at all. Suddenly, the image of Yang Encai's red eyes appeared in her mind, and her heart trembled.

"What on earth happened to you? Why were your eyes red when you beat that thing to death?"

Yang Encai, who was deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted by her words. After hesitating for a moment, he thought about it.

"I don't know how to explain it to you. At first, I just felt dizzy and my body was out of control. Then I heard your voice and slowly woke up."

Han Lisha took the opportunity to tell him about his various strange conditions at that time. Hearing this, Yang En's thick eyebrows gradually twisted together.

"Forget it, I won't say any more. Anyway, I can generally control myself in this state, and I have ignored other things but I can clearly feel that my body has a lot of strength. I was lucky enough to kill the mutant last time. I don't know what will happen on this road. You can get some sleep, I'll keep watch."

Han Lisa thought about it and didn't say much. She just snuggled in his arms and slowly closed her eyes.

This alley was relatively quiet. Looking at her breathing evenly in his arms, Yang Encai did not feel sleepy at all. He was still alertly paying attention to the sounds around him, and his mind was filled with the scenes that had happened before. Ever since he came out of the classroom and saw four zombies frantically snatching a girl's body, he knew that everything the professor told him was true. The originally quiet and peaceful city has now turned into a dead city, filled with the smell of blood and the heart-wrenching sounds of people being chased or bitten by zombies and mutants, and scattered human organs are densely distributed in every corner of the city.

On the originally clean streets, groups of zombies were walking along the streets looking for living people as food, and those mutants were even more powerful and unscrupulous, their skin was torn due to the sudden growth after the mutation, and red blood was constantly oozing out, and their swollen faces no longer looked like humans, and disgusting milky white mucus kept flowing from their mouths.

In just a few hours, tens of millions of normal people in the city were either eaten by mutants or turned into zombies and mutants. It was hard to say whether there were still normal people at this time. Then, based on the speed of spread, whether there were still uninfected living people before they arrived at the professor's designated location in Lincheng? This was a huge question in his mind. What he had to do now was to arrive before the virus spread to the professor's designated location. Only in this way could he and Han Lisa be picked up safely.

As time passed, Yang En looked at his watch. More than half an hour had passed. Suddenly, in the distance, a heart-wrenching scream of a young girl came. Startled, he gently woke up Han Lisa, then took out the compass and map, checked carefully in the dim light of this remote corner, and then set off.

Along the national highway, the two walked westward on the empty road. Perhaps they were lucky, as they rarely encountered zombies and mutants along the way. After walking for an unknown period of time, the shadow of a car parked on the side of the road caught Yang Encai's eye. This made him excited and he immediately ran towards the car. For them, what they needed most at the moment was a car. Although facing the obstacles caused by abandoned cars everywhere in the city and the roar of the motors would attract a large number of zombies, mutants and mutant beasts, driving a car would undoubtedly be a death sentence, but he had no choice. If he walked this way, he would definitely die even if he encountered a group of zombies.

"Boom!"

Yang Encai kicked the car door helplessly.

"what happened?"

"Damn it, this old car is out of gas. It's all for nothing."

He pointed his finger at the dried milky white blood, which was obviously the blood of a mutant.

"So what should we do? Keep going?"

Yang Encai didn't answer. He bent down and put his ear close to the ground.

"Eunchae, what's wrong?"

Yang Encai put his index finger in front of his lips and made a quiet gesture. A few seconds later, the roar of a car engine gradually approached.

"There's a car!"

Han Lisa seemed a little excited. After all, a moving car meant there were survivors and a means of transportation.

"No, it's not that simple..."

He looked at the approaching off-road vehicle without any surprise on his face. When the vehicle was about a hundred meters away from them, it suddenly swayed left and right like a drunkard, and finally turned over to the side of the road. After the vehicle rolled a full circle, it stopped with the chassis facing up. A man squeezed out of the broken window with all his strength and ran towards them. Following behind him was a two-meter-tall mutant with a hideous face who also came out of the car!
"Help……"

The man ran towards the two men while shouting for help, with the mutants chasing him closely.

"Asshole! Don't come over here!"

Yang Encai shouted angrily, and swiftly drew out his sword, looking at the mutant who was getting closer and closer with a grim face.

The shouting did not stop the man from running towards them. He was obviously looking for help, but it would also bring disaster to the other two people. The mutant followed the man closely, and because of the temptation of food, it began to chase him frantically. The clothes that had just been torn off were still attached to it. The bulging chest showed that she was originally a female. Blood kept coming out of the cracks on her body. It was obvious that this mutant had just mutated.

Generally, there are very few zombies where there are mutants, because one mutant is often able to defeat about ten zombies. For the time being, zombies without intelligence do not dare to provoke mutants.

Seeing this, Yang Encai held the sword tightly in his hand. He knew that he could escape at his current speed, but for Han Lisha, who was extremely tired at this time, it was simply impossible. He had no choice but to fight for Han Lisha's safety! Moreover, with the victory last night, he had greater confidence this time.

In the blink of an eye, the man was in front of him. When he passed by the man, he felt as if time had slowed down a lot. He could see all the forms of the mutant five or six meters away from him, even the disgusting saliva dripping from the corner of its mouth was clearly visible.

Yang Encai raised his sword and stabbed the mutant's heart with all his strength...

The sword pierced through layers of muscle tissue and accurately inserted into the mutant's heart. Then he raised his right foot and kicked straight at the opponent's chest. The mutant retreated a few steps with the sword stuck in his chest and fell on his back on the ground.

"Sure enough, the heart is also the mutant's fatal weakness."

A sneer appeared on his face. The professor was right. Although this creature had the ability to repair wounds instantly, its brain and heart were still its fatal weaknesses and the only way to kill this monster.

While thinking, Yang Encai walked towards the huge monster lying on the ground, drew his sword, and then turned and walked in front of the man.

His cold eyes cast a glance at him, the furrow between his brows deepened, and he slowly raised the sword in his hand.

"What are you going to do? Don't... don't kill me..."

The man was so frightened when he saw Yang Encai raising the knife towards him that he collapsed to the ground and begged for mercy.

"Encai, what are you going to do?"

Han Lisa rushed over and grabbed his sleeve.

"He was infected, too."

The tip of the knife pointed at the wound on the man's chest that was still bleeding from being bitten by a mutant.

Looking at the open wound on the man's chest, Han Lisa was silent, but the woman's compassion still dominated her silence at this moment.

"But he hasn't mutated yet. It won't be too late to kill him after he mutates!"

She still wanted to save this innocent man.

"So what do you want me to do? Take this useless guy with me? Carry a time bomb with me?"

"No, no, I can be useful to you, I'm a mechanic, I can fix your car. I know where the gas is. Where to get supplies, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

The man pointed with a trembling hand at the abandoned white Volkswagen the two had seen earlier. It was obvious that he was willing to sell himself in exchange for a chance to survive.

"Give him a chance. It won't be too late to kill him even if he mutates! Besides, it takes at least an hour for the mutation to take place!"

After hearing this, Yang En looked at the abandoned car, was silent for a while, and then nodded.

"This car is out of gas and has some damage. I'll give you half an hour to get it running. Don't play tricks!"

He spoke to the man coldly, then took Han Lisa's hand and turned to walk aside.

And just as he turned around, the man's body instantly mutated. Then he turned around suddenly and grabbed, directly piercing Yang Encai's back. Yang Encai's face turned pale, and he chopped off the man's head with the sword in his hand.

"Hurry, run!" Yang Encai raised his eyes and suddenly saw countless zombies running towards him from a distance!
It turned out that the roar of the car had already attracted a large number of zombies.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Han Lisha's eyes were immediately filled with tears of regret. She supported Yang Encai and ran towards the alley of the hotel in front.

……

At this moment, a figure suddenly landed beside them, then grabbed the two of them and flew into the sky again.

"what--"

Before Yang Encai could resist, Zhang Wufeng knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.

"Idiot, once someone who is not instantly infected is infected, the only option is to kill him!" Zhang Wufeng said coldly.

"Then, then Encai..."

"He's fine, his genes just evolved. Don't worry." Zhang Wufeng waved to comfort Han Lisa, then picked up Yang Encai and kicked open the door of the woman's balcony.

"what--"

The woman screamed again at a high pitch.

"Have you cried enough? The worst that can happen is death. Why are you so scared? You are useless!" Zhang Wufeng said sarcastically. He then put Yang Encai on the bed in the hotel and started to give him acupuncture.

The effect will not be very good without the crystal mist, so the zombie's brain core is needed to treat it. The energy of this thing is definitely comparable to the effect of crystal mist.

Zhang Wufeng already had some plans in mind, so he rescued Yang Encai. Otherwise, Yang Encai would definitely be beyond saving in this state.
