Chapter 268

The moment the drone took off, the zombies below raised their heads in unison.0

Their pale, colorless faces twisted grotesquely as they let out earth-shaking roars.0

They howled and thrashed wildly...0

In the next second, the entire city of zombies began to move.0

They darted out from streets and alleys of all sizes, chasing after the drone in the sky, screeching and snarling.0

The thunderous sound of their footsteps seemed as if it would tear the entire city apart.0

Some ran on the ground, some climbed walls, and others leaped into the air.0

A few even smashed through windows from high-rise buildings, plummeting to the ground in unison.0

As soon as they landed, they scrambled to their feet and sprinted madly.0

Their momentum was overwhelming, unstoppable.0

From above, it looked like countless streams converging into a main artery, all surging toward the city's entrance.0

Many zombies were trampled to death by their own kind.0

But they didn’t care in the slightest.0

At that moment, all they knew was that something was making noise ahead, and the scent of blood was in the air. If they chased it down, they could feast.0

They were starving...0

Desperate to tear apart whatever was making that sound...0

“Huh? What’s going on? The zombies outside seem to have gone crazy!”0

At the far-right window on the fifth floor of a university laboratory building, a short-haired boy stood there, staring in shock at the zombies running wildly through the streets.0

In the next moment, he grabbed the window ledge, pressed his feet against the wall, and climbed up like a gecko, scaling the building with all four limbs.0

Before long, he returned to the window and leaped back into the room with ease.0

“Hey, come take a look! The zombies have gone mad! They’re all running in the same direction!”0

He excitedly ran to a corner of the room.0

There, three young girls in white lab coats were focused on tinkering with a gun-like device, holding pliers and clamps in their hands.0

As soon as the boy approached, a girl with a bright red high ponytail slapped the back of his head.0

“Get out of here, you’re so noisy!”0

Her action was rough, showing no mercy.0

The boy immediately clutched his head and cried out, “Yang Meng, can’t you hit a little softer?”0

“Call me ‘manly’ one more time and see what happens!”0

The red-haired girl, Yang Meng, twisted her wrist, her threat unmistakable.0

The boy quickly put on a flattering smile. “I won’t, I won’t. Yang Meng, you’re the most gentle and beautiful girl in the world, okay?”0

“Ow!”0

To his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Meng punched him again.0

“Hey, why are you hitting me even when I’m complimenting you?”0

The boy looked aggrieved and began to defend himself.0

The two immediately started trading blows in the room.0

The other two girls glanced at them and then looked away.0

They were used to scenes like this.0

Hearing the commotion outside, the two walked over to the window.0

“Wow, Chong Ming was right. The zombies really are acting strange,” said a girl with freckles, pushing up the thick black-framed glasses on her nose.0

“Liu Xiaohui, didn’t your eyesight recover a long time ago? Why are you still wearing those ugly glasses?” asked a short-haired, tall girl with a crescent-shaped earring in her right ear, eyeing Liu Xiaohui’s glasses with disdain.0

“Heh, I forgot,” Liu Xiaohui chuckled sheepishly. “But I’m so used to wearing them that I just leave them on.”0

Just then, she suddenly gasped and pointed toward a tall building.0

“Why is there a little kid over there?”0

As soon as she spoke, the tall girl, Han Bing, followed her gaze.0

Even Yang Meng and Chong Ming, who were still “sparring,” stopped and looked in that direction.0

Chong Ming found it fascinating. “Hey, there really is a little girl!”0

“Oh no, look over there! A big one is heading straight for her!” Liu Xiaohui exclaimed urgently.0

The moment she finished speaking, Han Bing quickly turned and went to the research table, picking up a formidable-looking cannon.0

Then, in three swift steps, she leaped onto the windowsill.0

In the next second, her figure blurred as she moved at incredible speed, jumping from one high-rise building to another.0

Yun Xiaoxiao, who was controlling the drone, suddenly heard a strange noise behind her.0

She quickly turned around and saw a Level 3 mutated zombie climbing over the wall and landing on the rooftop where she stood.0

A faint smile curled her lips.0

A cute little thing had come to her doorstep.0

Just as she was about to take action, she noticed a blurry figure rapidly approaching from a neighboring building.0

It felt as if the person was running through the air.0

But the speed was so fast that the figure was almost invisible.0

Yun Xiaoxiao frowned. It was clear this person was coming for her.0

Unable to tell if they were friend or foe, she decided to treat them as an enemy.0

Yun Xiaoxiao prepared to eliminate the mysterious figure as soon as they got close.0

But at that moment, the Scumbag Detection Panel popped up.0

It showed that the person not only had no hostility toward her but also had a 60-point affinity.0

Though not high, it at least proved they meant no harm.0

Yun Xiaoxiao’s gathered energy dissipated somewhat.0

But she didn’t let her guard down completely.0

“Boom!”0

The moment the figure appeared, a cannon blast instantly hit the Level 3 mutated zombie.0

The once-ferocious zombie was instantly decapitated.0

Yun Xiaoxiao stared in surprise at Han Bing, who now stood before her.0

And at the black, unassuming cannon she held in one hand.0

She had clearly noticed that this cannon was different from the usual ones.0

Just as she was staring at the cannon with interest, she felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace.0

“Little girl, it’s too dangerous here. I’ll take you to a safe place.”0

With that, Han Bing swiftly carried Yun Xiaoxiao away.0

Yun Xiaoxiao: ......0

What just happened?0

She was picked up?0

And taken away?0

In the blink of an eye, she found herself in a room filled with bottles, jars, scissors, pliers, wrenches, and other tools. It was clearly a research lab of some sort.0Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Wow, this little girl is so cute up close! I just want to pinch her cheeks!”0

A cheerful voice rang out.0

In the next moment, a flash of red appeared in front of Yun Xiaoxiao.0

Before she could react, a hand reached out and touched her face.0

Yun Xiaoxiao: ......0

Was she just molested?0

Seeing Yang Meng about to pinch her again, Yun Xiaoxiao quickly broke free from Han Bing’s hold and jumped to the ground.0

“Calm down, you’re scaring the little girl,” Chong Ming chided.0

Yang Meng immediately kicked at him. “None of your business!”0

Her demeanor was a far cry from the adoring, affectionate look she had given Yun Xiaoxiao earlier. Now she was a full-on hot-headed sister.0

“Hah, missed me!” Chong Ming taunted as he dodged.
