Chapter 168: Ability Zombies
Gao Yuan looked at Gu Jie. The little girl was petite and had a delicate, babyish face, just like a doll sleeping in a princess’s room, but this girl’s face was blank, making the scene a little hilarious.
“Little girl, what was the zombie like? Can you tell uncle?” Gao Yuan lowered his voice subconsciously, afraid that he would scare this little girl.
Gu Jie’s face was still blank as she stared at Gao Yuan without any expression, “I am not a child, you don’t have to speak to me in this way. I saw that zombie as well and it’s true, it could spit out fire. It was a female zombie in a nurse uniform. I just can’t figure out why it didn’t chase after us after that.”
Gao Yuan went deep into thought after hearing that, his head beginning to ache. If this zombie had an ability, others would develop them too. How were humans going to live on?
Qin Yi was surprised too. This sort of zombie appeared about a year after the apocalypse began, at a time when humans had already adapted to the apocalypse and ability users had improved rapidly, enough so that they weren’t afraid of ability zombies at all.
But something was different this time. It hadn’t even been four months since the apocalypse and this type of ability zombie had appeared. Qin Yi was a little helpless, realizing that her rebirth had changed quite a number of events. She wasn’t sure that humans could currently deal with ability zombies.
What worried her more, however, were the mutated animals and plants, as these were more dangerous than zombies. Qin Yi felt that the mutated animals and plants might start appearing in advance too.
Gao Yuan looked at Yun Huan, who appeared very calm, and asked, “Captain Yun, what do you think about this?”
Gao Yuan still believed in Yun Huan’s ability. It was a kind of spiritual respect and trust. If this person was around, there wouldn’t be any problems.
“We’ll have to go in and take a look.”
This kind of large-scale mission didn’t have to be completed, as they could give up anytime, but Yun Huan was full of zeal and obviously wanted to go in to see this zombie with an ability.
Gao Yuan thought for a moment before agreeing, “Alright, we definitely have to take a look at this ability zombie so we can inform the higher-ups when we go back. You three, you can come along. There is strength in numbers, after all. But if you don’t want to, you guys can leave.”
These three people weren’t part of their teams, so he couldn’t force them. With that thought in his mind, Gao Yuan suddenly recalled that there was someone else who wasn’t a part of their team.
Gao Yuan continued, “Qin Hanmo, do you want to leave as well, and wait for us at the gas station? Your space ability doesn’t have much killing power anyway and it might be dangerous if you come along.”
Qin Hanmo didn’t say anything, a sharp voice suddenly resounding next to him, “You’re Qin Hanmo?”
Qin Yi looked over and it was Tang Ju.
She stroked Xiao Lan, who was in her embrace, and the corner of her lips curved upwards – a good show was about to begin.
Qin Hanmo knit his brows and looked at Tang Ju, who appeared to be angry. Qin Hanmo was puzzled, certain that he had never met this Tang Ju before. So why was this young man so surprised, even angry, upon hearing his name?
“I am Qin Hanmo but I don’t think we know each other.”
Tang Ju clenched his teeth and looked at the arrogant Qin Hanmo, his eyes filled with fury. “You don’t know me, but I don’t believe you don’t know who…”
Before Tang Ju could finish his sentence, Gu Jie quickly pulled at the corner of his shirt, then looked at the confused Qin Hanmo, “Sorry, my big brother mistook you for someone else. You guys don’t know each other.”
