When Wei Qiyan saw this thing, his body tensed up, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
Su Wei's hands trembled as he held the bag.
The mission was to find the mutated zombie that had been discovered recently. When it attacked, its finger bones would turn into sharp blood-red scimitars. It was extremely fast, and everyone now called it the scimitar zombie. In the end, they didn't find the scimitar zombie. Instead, they found a little boy who survived in an abandoned garage.
The little boy was about four or five years old. He was thin and small, and he looked malnourished. There were more than ten corpses lying around him, and each of the bodies had a bloody hole in the stomach.
Su Wei thought that this place had been attacked by zombies not long ago and that the little boy was lucky enough to survive. Yao Fei had the same thoughts as him. When Yao Fei saw that child, his vigilance had dropped by half. He put away his gun and said as he approached, "It's okay. We are here to save you."
The little boy, who had been silent all this while, suddenly raised his head when he heard this. His ashen face did not look like a living person. His voice was tender. "Mister, I'm sick. Will you leave me behind?"
Yao Fei stopped and his expression changed drastically.
"Are you going back on your word? You're just like them. You despise me for being sick, right?" With every word he said, an inch of bone wings grew on the little boy's back. The wings that looked like human bones spread out on his back as if they were covered in blood. "Since you're like them, then go to hell!" His eyes turned red.
The bright red bone wings were suddenly raised high and stabbed straight at Yao Fei's chest. The speed was too fast and the distance was too close. It was too late.
Su Wei shook his head and threw the scene from that day out of his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "Captain, although you injured the monster in the end, his bone wings flew very fast. We were useless and still let him escape. We only found the parts he dropped at the scene. Also, this is a serious matter."
He was a powerful zombie with intelligence and maintained his human appearance. He had a pair of strange bone wings. This would overturn the 20 years of human research and records on zombies.
Wei Qiyan took it and said in a low voice, "Okay."
In the Wasteland Reclaimers' Main Camp, Xu Ying was in low spirits throughout the trip. "When did your brother join the army?" she asked Wei Mingyue.
"When he was fourteen years old." Wei Mingyue smiled bitterly. "Sister Ying, I know what you're thinking. No one has ever been as worried about my brother's life as you are, wondering if everything he did was worth it. When my dad died, he was only 14 years old. He knelt beside my dad's body and swore that he would fight for us as long as the apocalypse was not over. In his mind, his life was not as important as protecting ordinary people like us."
Xu Ying had never felt that being a hero was not good at all. She really just wanted Wei Qiyan to live well and not be like Yao Fei, who was suddenly told that he was gone forever. Life was too heavy.
Wei Qiyan rested until the afternoon. When he felt that he was fine, he took a car to the old general's place. When he arrived, he saw Ge Aiyao.
Ge Aiyao, "You're ... injured again? I saw you break your arm last time."
Wei Qiyan nodded and didn't explain further. He followed her in.
Ge Yanjun had just finished eating the Peach Blossom Land bentos that his granddaughter had sent over. When he saw Wei Qiyan's appearance, he frowned."Your injuries are not light."
Wei Qiyan shook his head. "I am very fortunate compared to my teammate who had lost his life."
"What happened?" Ge Yanjun frowned even more.
Wei Qiyan explained the cause of the incident.
"You seriously injured the zombie, but it still managed to escape?" Ge Yanjun frowned even more. He understood Wei Qiyan's capabilities. He was almost an all-rounded talent. There were too few prey that could escape from him.
Wei Qiyan said in a deep voice, "Its bone wings are poisonous, and its fur can shoot out like darts, causing people to faint and become numb. After I was stabbed by it, I lost consciousness. My teammates realized that and did not dare to approach, so it ran away."
Ge Yanjun rubbed his glabella. "Got it. Rest well. I'll send other teams to search for this zombie. This is a big hidden danger. We have to find out its ability and growth speed as soon as possible. If he could maintain the appearance of a child, the consequences would be unimaginable if he hid in the base.."
Wei Qiyan nodded.
"How are you getting along with Miss Su recently?" Ge Yanjun turned away and asked Ge Aiyao.
Wei Qiyan's ears perked up, and he stopped as he was walking out.
