Chapter 46 - The Cry of the Desperate

"Wait for me!"

Just as Chen Chao was preparing to speed up and leave, Ye Fei's voice came from behind. She ran out, knelt down, and hugged Lin Shiyu, then said to Chen Chao, "Let's go together. I know of an empty house nearby where we can stay for the night and find a way out when it's daylight."

Fan Xiangyu teased her with a smile, saying, "Aren't you afraid of being eaten by monsters? It's better to hide here honestly."

The night was deep, and Ye Fei didn't notice Fan Xiangyu's expression. She said angrily, "They're too excessive. Even if I die, I won't stay with them."

"Tsk tsk, there really are people who aren't afraid of death. I hope you still think like this after being tackled by those monsters," Fan Xiangyu said with a grin.

Ye Fei looked at her curiously and asked, "Aren't you scared?" She couldn't understand how this girl, forced to leave and likely to be eaten by monsters soon, could still be in a playful mood.

Scared? Fan Xiangyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You put it that way, and I'm actually really scared."

Chen Chao gave her a glance and said, "If you don't talk, no one will treat you as mute."

Fan Xiangyu stuck out her tongue, covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes were full of laughter.

Ye Fei didn't have the mood to think too much. She looked at the middle-aged woman on the ground who was still begging pitifully and said sympathetically, "Get up. They won't let you in. Even if you get in, they will ask you to contribute your body. Let's leave here together..."

The middle-aged woman shook off her hand, looked at her angrily, and her tear-and-snot-mixed face distorted in the darkness, saying sorrowfully, "Get away, it's all your fault! If you hadn't brought them back, we would still be fine!"

Ye Fei was surprised, not expecting her to think like that.

Fan Xiangyu shook her head with a tsk and said gleefully, "Police sister, you don't have a gun anymore. Do you think these people will still listen to you? If you had a gun in your hand, she would crawl over and beg you right away. But without a gun, you're just a woman, after all. In her eyes, you're no different from her; you're both vulnerable groups!"

Ye Fei was stunned, recalling the previous events and seemingly waking up.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman had already cried out loudly to the inside, "Let me in. I can also sleep with you. If you don't like me, at least let my daughter in. She's still so young and can't just die like this..."

Ye Fei was shocked again and said incredulously, "You're crazy. Don't you have a husband? How can you sleep with someone else? You, you!" She was so angry that she couldn't speak. The education and upbringing she received from childhood made her unable to imagine that there were such shameless people.

Chen Chao saw that they were never-ending, and the zombies were about to approach. Impatiently, he took Lin Shiyu from Ye Fei's arms and walked briskly into the darkness ahead.

Fan Xiangyu shrugged, put her two snow-white hands behind her back, and hopped along behind him like a joyful black butterfly.

Ye Fei looked at Chen Chao and the others, then at the mother and daughter, and finally bit her teeth, chasing after Chen Chao and the others.

When she had just run a few steps, suddenly a roar came from the corner of a street on the left. A hoarse roar came from there, a sound she was very familiar with, the unique cry of monsters with decaying throats.

She was greatly startled, not expecting these monsters to have already arrived. Due to the darkness, she couldn't see the exact distance of the monster and could only shout to Chen Chao and the others, "Come back quickly. Let's go inside and hide first. We'll leave tomorrow!"

Chen Chao didn't look back and walked away briskly.

Watching the figures of the three of them about to disappear from sight, Ye Fei looked ugly and finally bit her teeth and chased after them.

The middle-aged man surnamed Huang and the handsome young man, upon hearing the roar of the zombies, immediately scared away the mother and daughter and quickly drilled into the house, pulling down the door.

The door had just been pulled halfway down when the mother and daughter turned around and rushed over, clinging to the door and trying to get in.

The middle-aged man surnamed Huang kicked her hard in the face, breaking her nose, and cursed, "Get away, damn it!"

After kicking away the mother and daughter, he quickly pulled the door up and locked it, then drilled into the basement of the room.

The middle-aged woman pounded on the door hard but found it locked. The monster's roar was approaching. Desperation showed in her eyes. Suddenly, disregarding the blood constantly flowing from her nose, she said to her daughter, "Go quickly and follow that policeman. I'll delay it here!"

"Mom, no..." The girl cried in tears.

The middle-aged woman said fiercely, "Be good and go! Don't let your mother die in vain!"

Roar~!

The monster's roar was very close, seemingly just over ten meters away.

Tears blurred the girl's eyes. Finally, she turned and ran, chasing after Ye Fei's departing figure and disappearing into the night.

The middle-aged woman looked at her daughter's back and revealed a bitter smile in her eyes, saying, "Mom can't be with you anymore..." She reached out to wipe the blood on her face, rubbing it hard on the door, and then banging her head against the door with all her strength, saying venomously, "Even if I die, I won't let you off!"

The zombie that ran over first was immediately stimulated by the smell of her blood and excitedly leapt over.

Looking at this decaying face sticking out from the darkness, the middle-aged woman was so scared that her heartbeat almost stopped. Fear made her instinctively struggle and flap, but the zombie's strength was too great. Her throat was bitten directly, and she screamed in pain, her body convulsing and kicking.

...

Chen Chao and the others, who had already walked 200 meters away, immediately heard the screams from behind.

Ye Fei shuddered in fear. She could recognize that it was the middle-aged woman's voice...

Just then, in the darkness behind her, a faint footstep approached, and at the same time, a sobbing voice cried out, "Police sister, police sister, wait for me..."

Ye Fei was stunned and immediately recognized the little girl's voice. She stopped and looked back. In the darkness, a figure gradually became clear, and it was the middle-aged woman's daughter.

She obviously heard her mother's screams and tears flowed down her face like tap water.

Ye Fei quickly said, "Come quickly, come to sister here."

"Okay," the little girl nodded through her sobs and just ran out a few steps when suddenly a black shadow flashed.

Pfft!

The little girl's body was tackled by a zombie with a decaying body all over. This zombie's speed was incredibly fast, leaving Ye Fei without any time to react.

"Ah――"

With the little girl's scream, her shoulder was bitten off by the zombie, and large chunks of flesh and blood were chewed and swallowed along with the skin.

Ye Fei's face was pale, and a surge of uncontrollable anger rose in her heart. Just as she wanted to rush forward to rescue the little girl, she heard Fan Xiangyu's giggling voice, "Don't you want to live? The monster is already here. She's beyond saving. Run quickly."

Ye Fei came to her senses. She looked at the little girl's painful expression, her eyes wet with tears, and finally bit her teeth, clenched her fists, and turned to follow Chen Chao and the others, speeding up.

On Chen Chao's shoulder, Lin Shiyu looked at Fan Xiangyu curiously and said, "Xiao Xiangxiang, don't you hate humans? Why are you so kind and trying to save her?"

Fan Xiangyu giggled and said, "Because she's a bit cute for being so stupid. Don't you think so?"

Lin Shiyu pushed up her glasses and agreed, "She's really stupid."

Chen Chao listened to the conversation between the two of them and felt a hint of helplessness. Come on, we're being surrounded by zombies. Can't you be a little tense?
