Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272: Such a Trap Teammate

"Pull them apart, quick, pull them apart!" Under the rallying calls of Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin, everyone began to separate the two who were fighting.

One of them bit onto the other’s shoulder like a mad dog, making it difficult for everyone to intervene, accompanied by cries of unbearable pain.

Before they had resolved that incident, another fight broke out, leaving Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin overwhelmed and unable to understand what was going on. Why all of a sudden, so many turned on their comrades in a frenzy.

Madness, brawling, biting, fleeing—the fifty-member team descended into chaos as more than ten frenzied people chased after the thirty-plus sane ones. The ferocity of their charge was frightening.

One person was running when suddenly, a frenzied person tackled him, and then bit his buttocks fiercely, causing him to scream out loud.

Of course, there were a few who joined forces to subdue one frenzied individual, only to see two more frenzied people charging at them, scaring them into a hurried retreat.

As Lu Yi moved, he shouted urgently, "Don’t panic, don’t panic, regroup, five people to a team, prepare to fight."

Hearing this, the trained mercenaries immediately began searching for teammates nearby, truly adopting the method of five-person teams to counter those gone mad.

However, no sooner had a five-person team formed than two of them suddenly went mad and attacked the remaining three. How could they form teams, how could they be united?

"Come on, what am I supposed to do now?" Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin felt despair as their comrades could go mad and attack them at any moment, leaving them completely defenseless and unable to organize an effective resistance.

Given the current situation, the only option was to run. Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin rushed forward together, glancing at each other with suspicion in their eyes, but ultimately choosing to stay together.

"Hurry, the signal flare!" Lu Yi cried out loudly, but his shout also attracted several frenzied people, scaring him into quickening his pace.

A red flare rose slowly into the sky, which had darkened, making the flare especially conspicuous.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, please come and save me," Lu Yi prayed as he ran, and then he tripped, proving that one really shouldn’t be distracted while running.

Lu Yi’s fall allowed the frenzied followers to catch up quickly. They pounced, using their hands to scratch and their mouths to bite.

"Go away, all of you go away, I haven’t bathed for days, my flesh won’t taste good!" Lu Yi fought desperately, swinging his shield and smashing it onto the heads of the frenzied people, driving them back.

At that moment, Ouyang Jin came back, kicking one frenzied person away and hurriedly pulling Lu Yi up.

"Bro, thanks for saving my life. I knew you wouldn’t leave me behind," Lu Yi said gratefully, gripping Ouyang Jin’s hand tightly.

Ouyang Jin looked disgusted, "Please, can you let go of your claw already? Two men running hand in hand is not a good look, we will be despised."

"It’s fine, it’s so chaotic right now, no one will notice our unusual but friendly gesture." After saying this, Lu Yi tightened his grip on Ouyang Jin’s hand again, making Ouyang Jin feel very awkward, even a bit nauseated.

Unexpectedly, those who had gone mad simply ignored Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin, running right past them.

This spectacle made Ouyang Jin laugh and cry, "You see, even the frenzied people despise us, so they can’t be bothered with us."

"No way, they’re mad enough to despise me?" Lu Yi was somewhat distressed. Looking around, he saw everyone fleeing in disarray, only to ultimately be caught and bitten by the frenzied attackers, wailing miserably.

Some of the escapees suddenly froze, motionless, while the mad ones chose to ignore them, running past without attacking.

After standing still for a while, the person changed too, going mad, roaring and pouncing on any normal person in sight.

"Could it be..." Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin exchanged a look, filled with vigilance and confusion. But after observing for a long time, they felt that neither showed any signs of turning.

Ouyang Jin stated, "The fact that these frenzied people haven’t attacked us isn’t because one of us is about to change, there must be something different about us compared to everyone else."

"It’s because we didn’t move!" Lu Yi quickly identified the key difference, realizing the truth, he shouted loudly, "Everyone listen to me, the frenzied ones will only attack things that move, everybody stop moving now!"

Hearing this, those who were still scattering stopped in their tracks and pretended to be dead, collapsing onto the ground.

The frenzied people suddenly became confused, losing their targets; as Lu Yi had guessed, they only attacked things in motion.

Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin quickly did the same, lying on the ground with hearts pounding, hoping to survive this ordeal.

The frenzied people walked past without attacking the normal ones, aimless and unaggressive, but not straying far. They lingered nearby, occasionally letting out low growls, keeping everyone tense.

"What do we do, we can’t just lie here forever?" Ouyang Jin grew worried, and at this time, his stomach unhelpfully started growling.

"I’d also like to get out of here, but it looks like we’re not going anywhere anytime soon," Lu Yi grumbled with a pained expression.

After a while longer, the maddened people were still wandering around. Everyone had no choice but to continue playing dead. Ouyang Jin made an observation, "How strange, ever since we lied down, no one else has gone mad."

"Yeah, why’s that?" Lu Yi was puzzled. Normally, people would go mad while running, but once they lay down, no new cases occurred. What was the critical difference between running and lying that triggered such different conditions?

Lu Yi racked his brains but couldn’t figure it out, so he changed the topic, "What if Gu Fan and the others come to help us, unaware, and encounter these crazed people? They’d be so caught off guard."

To this, Ouyang Jin replied helplessly, "As long as you, the doomsayer, don’t jinx that Gu Fan will go mad too, then we’re truly grateful."

Hearing this, Lu Yi was scared, "Good thing you reminded me in time; I was just about to say it."

"My goodness, you can’t really be that cursed, right?" Ouyang Jin secretly lamented, wondering what he did wrong to end up with such a partner.
