Chapter 665: Chapter 665 A Glimmer of Hope_1

"I know just some basics, but now nothing is useful. I never expected the T-virus to break out on such a large scale. This thing can be transmitted through the air, and the weather in Yuhang City has been good these past few days, no rain yet. Once it rains, it’ll truly be the end." The middle-aged woman’s face was filled with sorrow, her eyes full of despair.

"Why do you say that?"

"The T-virus will evolve with the host’s physical condition. If it rains, the virus in the air will seep into the soil with the rainwater, then enter the bodies of animals and plants. By that time, the entire natural world will mutate collectively, and our enemies will not just be zombies, but also mutant plants and animals!" The middle-aged woman seemed to have foreseen the coming of the apocalypse, kneeling on the ground, her face drawn and haggard.

"It has nothing to do with me. As long as I can save her, that’s all I need. Tell me how to get to the Secret Laboratory, and I will rescue you all."

"Get out? What’s the use of getting out, other than being eaten by zombies?" The middle-aged woman had already lost all hope.

"Mom!" The two girls hugged the middle-aged woman tightly, crying together with their mother.

"If you still consider yourself a mother, then you must pull yourself together, because you have two children to take care of." As you said this, the middle-aged woman suddenly looked up, staring blankly at her two daughters, tears falling down her cheeks.

"Fine! I’ll take you there! But first, you need to take them to a safe place." The middle-aged woman stood up, walked to the windowsill, and pointed towards the northeast, "Over there is the Youth Treasure Group. There’s a small Survivor Base there. As long as they get there, my two children will be able to survive."

"Just wait here a moment!" Without another word, you gently placed Hu Jing on the sofa, pulled out the Ring Head Knife from your back, opened the gate, and rushed out. About half an hour later, when you knocked on the door, the middle-aged woman opened it and immediately fell to the ground in fright. Your entire body was covered in fresh blood and many disgusting things, and your eyes had turned even redder, like an Evil Ghost from Hell.

"Do you have any clothes I could wear?" You didn’t notice anything yourself, but you couldn’t let Hu Jing get blood on her.

"Yes, my husband’s build is similar to yours." The middle-aged woman hurriedly fetched a set of clothing from the master bedroom, and you unhesitatingly changed right there.

While changing clothes, you said to the middle-aged woman, "It’s best if you take some things to defend against zombies, like pots and such. Sometimes it’s better to have something than nothing."

Once everything was ready, you picked up Hu Jing again. Hu Jing’s face had turned somewhat pale, beads of sweat on her forehead. It pained you to see her like this, and you also felt a bit anxious inside, "Let’s go!"

The middle-aged woman followed closely behind with her two children as they descended from the upper floor. They vomited more than twice on the stairs, where the corridors and steps were littered with severed limbs and torso, with hardly a single zombie intact. Your personal strength was beyond the middle-aged woman’s imagination. She didn’t know who you really were, but she could tell from the care you showed your woman that you were not a bad person.

As a philosopher once said, a man who loves his wife can’t be a bad person, for he has a tender heart.

Of course, you didn’t bother to correct the woman’s misunderstanding of your relationship with Hu Jing.

As you left the residential building, you led the mother and her two daughters quietly along the route, the body of a fallen zombie evidence of where you had crossed paths. The middle-aged woman simply couldn’t comprehend how you could have single-handedly, with a seemingly blunt knife, taken down so many zombies. What’s more, humans who dare to engage zombies in close combat were exceedingly rare!

With the guidance of the middle-aged woman, you quickly found the so-called Survivor’s Camp, which was actually an isolated small building. There were many cars parked around the small building, forming a protective barrier, with some guards standing on top of those cars. And to your slight surprise, they actually had guns!

Seeing you carrying a woman so beautiful it made people itch, accompanied by a mother with her two daughters, many thought this group looked quite odd.

After a thorough inspection, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the squad leader looked at the sleeping Hu Jing in your arms and said, "Her foot has a deep wound, was she bitten by a zombie?"

"No, she was bitten by a poisonous snake, which is why she has fallen into a coma." You had already concocted this story with the middle-aged woman before arriving, and as you said this, the middle-aged woman also chimed in, and additionally leveraging her identity as a national medicinal researcher, they let you in.

"This is just a temporary distribution camp, controlled by our group’s deputy head. You must obey the rules here. If we find that you’ve breached our rules, we won’t care about any damned humanitarianism and will feed you directly to the zombies!" After giving this stern warning, the squad leader no longer paid any attention to the four of you.

Once inside the building, you saw many people squatting and sitting around, probably around a hundred. Seeing you bring people in, everyone’s eyes turned towards you with interest.

"Chun Mei, you’re still alive?" At that moment, a young man wearing glasses and a white lab coat briskly walked over.

"Little Zhang, it’s so great to see you!" The middle-aged woman went up to him, excitedly shaking the young man’s hand.

"Chun Mei, please take a seat, I still have another patient to see." The young man glanced at you and then casually swept his gaze over Hu Jing, a bright gleam flashed in his eyes, but he covered it up well and quickly left.

Then, a well-dressed woman approached. She glanced at the four of you and then said to you, "We still have rooms available, but not much food left, so don’t expect to be well fed here."

The woman, being someone accustomed to authority, instantly recognized you as the leader of the four.

"It’s alright, we won’t be staying here for too long." You were extremely anxious inside, but didn’t want to show it too much, "Please, take us to a room. My friend has been poisoned by a snake and needs to rest."

The woman then noticed Hu Jing in your arms. Seeing her beautiful face, a look of admiration naturally fleet across her eyes, and she nodded, "Follow me."

The woman led you to a spacious room that seemed to be an office; there were no beds, only two fairly large sofas.

"This is my office, you can rest here for the time being."

"Thank you."

After she finished speaking and was about to leave, you quickly called out to her, "Excuse me, I need to talk to you about something. Chun Mei and I need to go out to find the snake venom serum, so could I ask you to look after my friend and these two children?"

The woman was clearly surprised; she hadn’t expected that you would actually go out again for your girlfriend, regardless of her beauty, considering the hordes of zombies outside. It wasn’t just about finding something—it was hard enough just to survive.

She looked at you and asked, "Do you really plan to go out?"

You firmly replied, "Yes, I must go!"

"Alright! I’ll wait for you to come back safely! If you don’t return, I’ll take care of these two children. As for your friend, if she survives, I’ll tell her about your deeds!" The woman was touched by your resolve. Such men were indeed rare.
