Chapter 58: Sent to the Zombies
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“They’re really carrying food! What’s wrong with these zombies? Are some of them still conscious? Why are they helping us? Maybe they’re trying their best to not lose their humanity!”
Those who were low in spirits suddenly felt elated.
The news that there was food spread like wildfire and people began to gather.
They all stood behind the soldiers and chattered excitedly.
Their fears completely disappeared.
One person eagerly grabbed the arm of a soldier from behind.
The soldier, who was just shooting zombies earlier, jolted. He accidentally pressed on the trigger of his gun.
A bullet was shot and a shrill scream came from the crowd.
The noisy crowd instantly became silent. Only a female voice writhing in pain could be heard. The shot had hit a woman on her stomach and blood was gushing out.
The smell of blood and the woman’s high-pitched voice attracted a horde of zombies and they began rushing over.
Upon seeing that, the soldiers had no choice but to ignore the wounded and continued shooting the zombies.
The soldier who had accidentally shot the woman took a few steps back and disappeared into the crowd. He was so overwhelmed by the incident that he lost his courage to face the zombies for a moment.
After composing himself, he finally continued killing zombies again.
Li Ran did not expect the number of zombies to increase.
Some soldiers had already run out of ammunition. They were defenseless as the zombies charged at them.
This wave of zombies did not carry any food on their backs.
The crowd shifted their attention from the zombies to the woman who was shot. She was bleeding heavily.
The woman used her remaining strength and muttered, “Please help me...”
Everyone watched helplessly as the woman gradually became less and less responsive. The soldiers could not bear to look at her either. Nobody uttered a single word.
It felt like everyone had given up.
“Don’t let her die! Hurry up and help! Where is the doctor?”
Someone shouted bitterly.
“Didn’t you know? The doctor had already left.”
“What should we do? Does this mean that we can’t save her?”
After a few seconds of silence, someone said anxiously, “Are you out of bullets? There are so many zombies heading this way. We must seal the entrance! Otherwise, when will this nightmare ever end?”
“I think it’s because of this woman’s blood. She’s attracting all the zombies!”
Li Ran knew that it was a critical moment.
Some soldiers decided to share their remaining bullets and they asked Li Ran to deliver them.
She squeezed through the crowd and finally managed to hand the bullets over to the other soldiers.
Li Ran glanced at the woman who was lying in her own pool of blood. She was unsure if the woman was dead or alive.
A man took off his coat and walked towards the woman. He was about to sacrifice her to the zombies. It was clear that he was very disgusted by the sight.
Eventually, Li Ran managed to take a good look at the scene.
Her eyes suddenly widened and she hurriedly stopped the man.
“What are you doing?! Take her to the infirmary!”
The man recognized Li Ran and immediately replied sarcastically, “Do you think that everyone is as lucky as you? You don’t even have to do anything and will still be given protection and food! All the doctors have already left. No one can save her.”
“...”
Li Ran ignored him and continued to block the man’s way. She refused to let him go through with his plan.
This woman was none other than the beautiful girl who had helped Li Ran obtain a phone. She had a cute son.
Now, not only was her face pale, but her hair was also disheveled and dirty. She had completely lost her fighting spirit.. Her physical appearance was not even enough to illustrate her misery.
