How could Qiao Mu be caught by the old lady? With a twist of her wrist and some force, she flung the old lady back into the carriage.
The shaft of the carriage was not broad, to begin with. With Qiao Wenjuan clinging onto Qiao Zhongxing from the side, refusing to let go and dragging her shoes on the ground, Qiao Mu would certainly impact Second Uncle if she kicked Qiao Wenjuan off.
Due to Qiao Wenjuan’s impedance, it became very difficult for Qiao Zhongxing to drive the carriage. The carriage stuttered right and left on the forest road, and the speed slowed down too.
Qiao Wenjuan felt her head intensely ache from Qiao Mu’s kick, but she retained her death grip on her brother and screamed, “Second Brother! Second Brother, I’m your sister! Eldest Brother, is this how you treat me? You abandon me and run, yet you think you are in the right?”
“Stop shouting!” Qiao Mu squeezed the back of Qiao Wenjuan’s neck, her face was frosty as she rebuked, “Are you trying to attract more zombies here?”
“Eldest Brother.” Qiao Wenjuan ignored Qiao Mu completely.
A disturbance suddenly arose inside the carriage. Qiao Mu looked back and saw a zombie being shot down by Shaoyao and falling from the rear window.
“Damn it!” After the carriage slowed down, some zombies managed to catch up.
Qiao Mu’s blood was boiling as she grabbed the scraggy clothes on the back of Qiao Wenjuan’s neck. Her voice was immensely frosty like a snowstorm, as she stated, “If we need to throw someone down to feed the zombies, you would be the sole candidate.”
Qiao Wenjuan shuddered.
“Juan’er.” Elderly Lady Qiao opened the curtain and leapt forward, her hands firmly holding Qiao Wenjuan’s shoulders and forcibly dragging her inside the cabin.
Qiao Wenjuan latched onto her mother and curled up inside her mother’s embrace, trembling nonstop.
“My Juan’er, you’ve suffered.” Elderly Lady Qiao was weeping as she held her daughter, full of heartache.
When has her youngest daughter, who she had raised pamperingly like a delicate flower since she was young, ever suffered like today!
Without Qiao Wenjuan’s entanglement, Qiao Zhongxing relaxed and sat up straight, anxiously whipping the horse and urging it to go faster.
Currently, there were at least 30-40 zombies running after them at the front.
Qiao Mu did not have the time to waste any words on her grandmother and aunt. She flipped onto the roof of the cabin and shot several arrows in succession, shooting down the zombies latching onto the exterior of the cabin.
“Qiaoqiao, the front as well!” Qiao Zhongxing’s pupils contracted as he watched the hundreds of zombies that appeared in front of them in the forest.
“They were invited by Qiao Wenjuan.” Qiao Mu sneered. Then, she turned to tell Qiao Zhongbang, “Father, lose the horse and get inside!”
Qiao Zhongbang did not hesitate and leaped onto the carriage. His entire person was squeezed by the entrance of the cabin as he told Shaoyao, face wrought with anxiety, “Quick, give me a repeating bow.”
Shaoyao hastily handed one to him. “Sir, the recoil of this bow is large. Be careful.”
Qiao Zhongbang nodded. However, he had a martial arts foundation, after all, so he got the hang of the bow with a few runs. Seeing the zombie that popped up by the side window, Qiao Zhongbang mustered his strength and took a shot, his wrist slightly tingling afterward.
However, Qiao Zhongbang ignored it with a clench of his teeth. Turning back, he told his bawling and hugging mother and sister with a frown, “Mother, Sister, stop crying! You will attract more zombies!”
Qiao Mu tightly grasped the bow in her hand and took a deep breath before saying, “Second Uncle, charge forward.”
There were at least 100 zombies blocking their path ahead, but they had inescapable pursuers behind them. Second Uncle clenched his teeth and forcefully flicked the reins as he shouted “Cha!” and the horse bolted forward into the mass of zombies like an arrow that left its dock.
