Seeing the dire situation, one of the soldiers said, "Everyone, shoot!"
Hearing this, the soldiers quickly aimed their rifles at the mutant zombie and opened fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, Rong Qinyu’s neck was being held by the zombie. He was almost out of breath, but he still retained his consciousness. When he heard the soldiers’ words, he focused his energy on his right wrist.
The moment the first bullet was shot, a metal barrier enveloped his body like a layer of skin. At the same time, the zombie’s arm was shot, and it let go of its grip.
Free from being strangled, Rong Qinyu fell to the ground with a loud thud. He held his neck and coughed while gasping for air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under the rain of bullets, the zombie leaped back and dodged the bullets. Raising its head, it let out a roar.
"Roar!!"
Rong Qinyu stood up after he caught his breath and said hoarsely, "It’s bad. That zombie is summoning more zombies."
Hearing this, the soldiers turned to him, and one of them said, "Everyone, retreat!"
The ability-users had never met a high-level zombie and were already scared out of their wits. The moment they heard the soldier’s words, they turned around and ran without hesitation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The soldiers continued shooting at the zombies, trying to delay them so they had time to retreat. At the same time, Rong Qinyu rushed to his cousin. He quickly carried his cousin on his back and picked up the baby.
While he ran, he lowered his eyes and met the baby’s calm gaze. For a moment, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Logically speaking, a baby would cry in this kind of situation. But this baby didn’t even let out a hiccup, let alone a cry, even after he was attacked by the zombie at close range.
The moment this thought flashed in his mind, Rong Qinyu rushed toward an alley and looked around. When he saw a store with a back door open, he rushed over.
With the high-level zombie summoning all the surrounding zombies, he wasn’t worried that he would be ambushed by them. After entering the room, he found a safe place and put the baby down.
As if knowing that he was being abandoned, the baby reached out and held onto his sleeve tightly.
Rong Qinyu was taken aback by this and was sure that he shouldn’t bring the baby back to the base when he met the baby’s gaze.
As he pried open the baby’s hand, he suddenly heard a cry echo in his mind.
’Waaa...!’
Startled by this, Rong Qinyu’s face turned pale, and he looked at the baby in shock. He licked his lips and asked, "You... Is it you who talked inside my head?"
The baby pouted his lips and looked at him with teary eyes as the baby’s voice echoed in Rong Qinyu’s mind again, ’Don’t go...’
This time, he was sure that it was the baby who talked to him. From his body size, this baby should be around three months old. So, it was illogical for him to be able to understand his words and talk to him like this. This baby was too extraordinary to be left behind like this.
He hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and picked up the baby. As he carried the baby and his cousin, he took the small road and returned to the team.
At the same time, the zombie had already reached the location where they parked their vehicles. With more people on their side, the ability-users and the soldiers were not as panicked as before.
Seeing the zombies fifty meters away from them, Wang He said, "Aim at their heads, shoot!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Following his order, the soldiers aimed their rifles at the group of zombies in front of them. It took them several shots to kill a zombie.
Seeing this, Wang He turned to the ability-users and said, "What are you all doing?! Kill the zombies!"
Hearing his words, the ability-users finally regained their senses, but none dared to go to the front line to face a large group of zombies.
Seeing this, Rong Qinyu handed the baby and his cousin to a soldier nearby and said, "Help me take care of them."
Before the soldier could reply, he had already rushed to the front and waved his hands. The next moment, the bracelets on his wrists flew toward the zombies as they changed into metal needles mid-air.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
The metal needles pierced the zombies’ foreheads and killed them instantly. Waving his hands, the metal needles flew out of the rotten skulls and toward the nearby zombies.
With him killing the zombies, the burden on the soldiers was lessened.
Wang He glanced at him and noted the ability-users who joined the fight and those who were too scared to fight. When they returned to the base, he would list their names and blacklist them. The base wouldn’t hire them anymore.
While they were able to handle the low-level zombies, they knew that no one was able to handle the high-level zombie. Even so, they could only try to kill the zombie using their rifles and bullets.
Not far from them, several groups of people were watching the fight. After a while, one of them turned to their team leader and asked, "Boss, should we help them out?"
Boss Lin thought for a moment and said, "The number of zombies is too much. If we don’t help, they will reach the base soon. Let’s go."
After he said this, he rushed out of the building and ran directly toward the group of zombies. When everyone saw a group of people suddenly run toward the zombies, they were taken aback.
"Be careful!" Wang He shouted.
He thought that no matter how low their chance of survival, he shouldn’t let the commoners sacrifice themselves like this. But before he could do anything to save them, he was stunned by what he saw.
Boom! Crack!
