Chapter 292 It's pointless to use your own people as hostages.
Meng Xiaoyou and her group successfully infiltrated the research institute, but some mishaps occurred along the way, causing them to change their route with the man. Academician Rong will arrive later; they just need to wait and see.
The fighting among the little zombies was extremely fierce. Under normal circumstances, they could hold off these humans for a long time, but unfortunately, there were too many humans and their superpowers were too strong. After about an hour, they could no longer hold on.
As the night faded, the superhumans within the space awoke as if from a dream, and their calls were met with overwhelming response.
"That thing's gone! Everyone, charge!"
Everyone seized the opportunity to throw their superpowers into the zombie horde. The zombies covered the little zombies as they retreated. Sheng Jingxing floated in mid-air, occasionally waving his fingers. Wherever he passed, humans floated up and fell down again, becoming obedient.
He followed orders carefully and did not kill the person, especially since the superhuman who was thrown down was thick-skinned and would recover in ten days to half a month.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the horde of zombies and the woman swimming among the humans, and he clicked his tongue again, thinking to himself, "Troublesome."
Tang Shengnan also found it troublesome. She took the iron rod and tried to take turns on whoever she caught, but Sheng Jingxing would often grab her, float her in the air for a while, and then send her down. After a while, she got angry and stood in the crowd, cursing loudly: "You damn zombie, will you ever stop?"
The others, unaware that she was an enemy rather than a friend, gave her a thumbs up upon hearing this: "What a courageous girl, daring to openly provoke hatred."
With so many high-level zombies present, if they set their sights on you, you'll be lucky to escape with your life.
Several teams with relatively good personalities chose to stay by Tang Shengnan's side and tell her, "Don't be afraid, we'll protect you."
The next second, however, the girl who had just been surrounded by humans was suddenly lifted into the air and grabbed by a man. Everyone was confused until they saw the man grin and reveal his fangs: "This is a hostage. If you don't want her to die, kneel down and call me big brother."
No matter when or where, zombies always want to recruit followers.
He flew so high that he quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Zhou Ziming was among them. When he saw the male zombie threatening Tang Shengnan, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Using your own people as hostages, that's pointless, isn't it?
Immediately afterward, Zhou Ziming felt a slump in his shoulders. He turned his head and saw a beautiful female zombie grab his shoulder with one arm while threatening the others: "Your officer is already in my hands. If you don't want him to ruin his reputation in his later years, then you'd better stop."
The humans: "..."
They didn't know who Tang Shengnan was, but they did know Lieutenant Zhou Ziming.
The officer who led them to hunt down the zombies was one of the main leaders.
He was said to be the only human without superpowers present, but he had done many difficult rescue missions and almost didn't make it back several times. He was one of Commander Zhu's capable assistants.
So he came along this time. Nobody expected that zombies not only had brains, but also such terrifying brains, knowing to capture the leader first.
"Oh no, what do we do now?"
One of the lieutenants, who held the same rank as Zhou Ziming, sneered: "I knew I shouldn't have brought this good-for-nothing along. He's more of a hindrance than a help!"
His name is Sun Yingbo, a fifth-level superhuman. After taking the drugs allocated by the research institute, he advanced to the sixth level, making him a strong person among humans. He is at odds with Zhou Ziming, believing that this useless person without superpowers is lowering his status by sharing the same military rank with him.
Now that Zhou Ziming has been captured, he is even more disgusted: "Don't bother with that good-for-nothing. This is a battlefield, a life-or-death battle. Whether or not humanity can be reborn depends on this battle. Even if he dies, it will be his honor."
Everyone immediately adjusted their mindset, pretended not to see, and tried their best to laugh at the zombies around them.
“Look, your own kind doesn’t want you anymore~” The female zombie shook her head and teased Zhou Ziming in his ear: “Why don’t you let me bite you and become one of us? I’ll help you get revenge.”
Zhou Ziming: "..."
He was speechless: "What revenge?
Ji Luolan asked in confusion, "Of course it's because they refused to help us when we were in danger."
Zhou Ziming: "Aren't you the culprit?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Luolan laughed: "That's true, you useless thing, go back!"
Not as soft as a small mushroom, it's not even worth using. The female zombie showed her disdain, and with a twist of her slender wrist, she tried to push the person away.
This time, Zhou Ziming grabbed her hand instead, his anger burning and his eyes blazing: "No, you're the one who grabbed me this time, so you can't let go, or they'll definitely suspect me."
Female zombie: "..."
So you're sticking with me now, huh?
Zhou Ziming: "Also, I will not allow you zombies to harm our superhumans. We had already agreed on this before. You only mentioned killing Academician Rong before I informed you, not killing us human superhumans."
Zhou Ziming is a human officer and cannot stand by and watch zombies harm humans. Even if his relationship with her is ambiguous, he will not abandon his profession because of personal feelings.
Therefore, upon hearing that a battle was to be fought today, Zhou Ziming sent a message to Meng Xiaoyou, threatening her in various ways not to allow the zombies to kill humans.
He knew his actions were somewhat unreasonable; what else would zombies kill if not humans? Besides, it was the humans who struck first.
However, Zhou Ziming had no other choice. No one understood the zombies' strength better than him. These people were just coming to their deaths, while Academician Rong, who had caused all the commotion, was hiding in the base's shell.
However, Meng Xiaoyou still agreed. She said that she wanted humans and zombies to coexist peacefully. They had different positions, and neither of them was wrong. It was just that if too many people were killed in this battle, her goal would be more difficult to achieve.
So she had the little zombies hold off the humans, hoping to buy them time.
At this point, Meng Xiaoyou had already entered the basement with the humans from the laboratory.
The huge basement, formerly the hospital morgue, was like a living hell. The people inside were unrecognizable; some had ruptured blood vessels and bleeding skin, while others had crooked mouths and bulging eyes. The whole room was cold and smelly. As soon as you entered, the light was dim, and a cold wind blew in, making your bones ache.
Meng Xiaoyou quickly hid behind Pei Sinian, and, fearing that Pei Sinian couldn't block her, she also pulled Luo Qingxue along.
Anyway, if something happens, those twisted monsters will definitely attack other people, not the mushrooms.
Mushrooms are so smart!!
Luo Qingxue was also shocked by this sight.
She asked, "What are these? Are they even human?"
The man remained calm. "They're just people, nothing more than failed experiments. Before Teacher Rong arrives, let's clean up the dead ones and prepare the living ones for her to choose from."
Luo Qingxue felt a chill. Her teacher was harmed by this group of scum. If it weren't for them, her teacher would have been a sixth-level healing ability user, and could have saved countless humans in the future.
These so-called hopes for humanity's future have harmed countless people; they are monsters with no heart at all. Should humanity really believe in them?
