About an hour, the sky was already bright, with their visions no longer hindered by the rain the surrounding scenes were clearly visible.
Asuna lowered her head, looking at the blood-stained water on the soles of her feet, and exhaled slowly.
"Tired?" Yao turned to look at her, "Do you want to take a rest?"
"No, I'm fine, let's move on."
Asuna shook her head, they had only walked for a short time, she didn't want to leave a weak impression in front of him.
"If you can't, just tell me, you don't need to force it." Yao ordered in a deep voice.
For her and Sayuri, he will not use the same standards as the young team members.
Because Eriri and Kato are currently at the age with the strongest adaptability, and Sayuri and Asuna are just the opposite, so Yao doesn't mind being a little more patient with them.
"I understand, Yao-kun, you..."
Just halfway through her words, she inadvertently looked behind Yao from the corner of her eyes.
"Step aside!"
Asuna's heart skipped a beat, and she hastily let out a low shout. At the same time, she subconsciously raised the gun in her hand, pointing the black muzzle at the front.
Yao, who had heard the abnormal movement a long time ago, just moved aside when the muzzle of the gun in her hand was raised.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
The muzzle of the QBZ-95 rifle in Asuna's hand opened fire crazily. On the parallel line where Yao was just now, there was a long bloody tongue.
The owner of the tongue was caught off guard by the sudden bullet.
It wailed, made a "chiliu" sound, and quickly withdrew its bloody tongue back into its body.
Yao frowned slightly as he stared at the mist zombie that kept receding opposite.
A mutant mist zombie?
Generally speaking, mutants refer to advance types of zombies transformed from ordinary zombies.
However, the mist zombie in the distance is not only bulkier than ordinary mist zombies, but even the small exposed tongue seems to be much sharper.
Looking at its blood-red pupil reminded Yao of the possibility of a second evolution.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Asuna fired a few more shots, all aimed at its head. However, the mutated zombie seemed to have been prepared, and quickly crouched down, narrowly dodging the potentially fatal bullets.
"Pay attention to the situation around you. If there are other zombies around, deal with them first."
Just when she was about to try again, Yao stopped her, and strode forward with the blade of his right hand.
He can see that this mist zombie is definitely a second stage mutant, although it can definitely be killed with the power of a QBZ-95 rifle, Yao is not going to use this method.
If a gun is used, this beast, would most likely choose to run away temporarily and wait for an opportunity.
Yao would never leave such a threat.
He was fine, with system's protection, the zombie virus could not invade his body.
But Asuna is different. If she is injured, even if it is just a small wound, there is a high chance that she would turn into a zombie.
This is also the most natural disadvantage of human beings.
Seeing that the human being on the opposite side was approaching him, a trace of greed flashed across it's pupil.
"Bah!"
With a deep hiss, the long tongue hidden in the body of the second stage mutant quickly rushed towards Yao, and at the same time, the dozens of meat pits on it's back began to emit wisps of smoke.
Yao, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, turned sideways to avoid the attack, and then the blade in his hand slashed in the opposite direction, making a slight sound of piercing the air from bottom to top.
The long tongue that crossed in front of him was cut instantly, the dark red blood splashed everywhere from the separated tongue slightly staining his cheeks.
The mutant screamed, and retracted it's tongue rapidly.
Yao could clearly see the wound on its tongue, and at this moment, countless granulation sprouts were rushing out frantically.
"Crack! Crack!"
Just when Yao and the mutant we'rein close combat, the gunfire of the QBZ-95 rifle rang out.
Yao quickly turned his head and glanced back, only to see that Asuna shooting some ordinary zombies.
As if sensing his gaze, Asuna shouted without looking back.
"Yao-kun, don't worry about me, I can take care of this place, you can fight with confidence!"
Yao was a little surprised by her performance, he didn't expect her to adapt so quickly.
But he didn't have time to think about it, just as he turned his head to look behind, the mutant had already pounced in front of him, slashing at his left leg with its right hand claws.
The muscles of Yao's legs were tense, and while jumping sideways, he vigorously swung the blade in his hand.
"Crack!"
The sharp blade pierced the zombies neck, before Yao felt a hard object stuck in the path of the blade, it penetrated too deep into it's flesh.
bone?
Yao's eyes were fixed, he didn't want to break saeko's sword, so he drew back the blade and retreated.
Looking at him, the mutant roared angrily.
Its red pupils were a little more violent at this time, it didn't care about Asuna who was closer. It charged towards Yao again ready to kill Yao in one hit.
"I don't have time to play with you."
Hearing the rapid running sound behind him, Yao took a deep breath, and the palm of his hand holding the handle of the knife increased a little bit.
He ran forward quickly, preparing to use the power of inertia to quickly complete the move.
"Crack!"
A few seconds later, with the sound of bones breaking, the head of the mutant quickly fell to the ground and rolled behind Yao.
[Kill mist zombie (mutation), points +300]
Yao didn't pay attention to the cold reminder in his mind, and quickly ran towards Asuna, and at the same time spoke quickly to remind her.
"The zombies on the other side would reach here soon, let's move from here, stop fighting."
"Roger!"
After more than a dozen gunshots, the two disappeared into the street.
A few zombies who caught a glimpse of the duo roared manically, and began to speed up unwillingly.
However, when they rushed to the corner, apart from the corpses of the same kind lying on the ground, there were no shadows of Yao and Asuna.
