Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. π
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Chapter 21. (2/2)
The stadium was filled with even more infected, but these mutated zombies were easier to deal with than the surrounding army. Cheng Rui used his powers to kill the mutated zombies as he searched for hiding places.
β
However, before he could find a hiding place, two mutated individuals with bluish-purple faces and abnormal expressions suddenly rushed out, attacking Cheng Rui with their powers.
β
Bai Qing Qing recognized these two as the same power users who had killed the mutated woman at the auction earlierβthey had also turned into zombies?
β
No, that’s not right. Those bitten by zombies and mutated would have their faces instantly rot away, but these two hadn’t turned into zombies; instead, they gave her a particularly strange feeling.
β
Cheng Rui had to put her down to deal with the two mutants.
β
The two mutants moved with terrifying speed, and Cheng Rui couldn’t gain the upper hand in their fight.
β
Bai Qing Qing held a gun, assisting him in his attacks. Because the enemies were too fast, she either missed or hit other parts of the body; the damage from not hitting the head was negligible to the mutants.
β
Her palms were sweating, and she also had to keep her eyes on the other zombies rushing towards them.
β
She couldn’t use her superpowers indefinitely. Under the two mutants’ frenzied attacks, Cheng Rui could only take Bai Qing Qing and flee towards the auction house to rest.
β
The mutants, like manipulated puppets, relentlessly pursued her. Cheng Rui tossed her into a room, instructing, “Hide here, I’ll distract them.”
β
Bai Qing Qing nodded, closed the door tightly, and hid in a corner.
β
She couldn’t help much; not being a hindrance was the best course of action. She could only pray that Cheng Rui could handle the two mutants.
β
Bai Qing Qing tried to calm herself, telling herself that Cheng Rui would be alright.
β
She recalled entering the auction house, the auctioneer’s murder, and encountering the mutated but not zombie-like ability users.
β
Those two ability users were somewhat like the woman at the auction house, seemingly under some kind of control. What had caused their mutation?
β
If this mutation went undetected initially, with a certain incubation period, it explained why the auction house hadn’t detected the woman as a mutant.
β
This was far more terrifying than instantly mutated zombies.
β
Are there any other undiscovered mutants in Wucheng? If so, this is no longer a safe zone, and everyone in the city will die.
β
She wondered how Fu Chen and the others were doing; she hoped they could escape the auction house alive.
β
Time passed slowly, and Bai Qing Qing had never felt time drag on so long.
β
Suddenly, there was a loud thumping at the door. Before she could get up to check, the door was kicked open, and soldiers with guns rushed in.
β
Blinding lights shone down, and Bai Qing Qing quickly stood up and raised her hands: “Don’t shoot!”
β
The soldiers scrutinized her. “A living person?”
β
Bai Qing Qing looked frightened and said, “I’ve been hiding here since the auction house incident.”
β
The soldiers forced her out to the stadium plaza. She found many other living people being held captive in the plaza, then handcuffed and crammed into vehicles.
β
The people were numb, silent, huddled in the vehicles.
β
Whether they lived or died was entirely up to the higher-ups of Wucheng. Regardless of whether they were infected, everyone present at the auction was taken away.
β
After some time, the vehicles stopped at what resembled a prison area. The auction survivors were forced off the vehicles and led inside one by one.
β
In an area resembling a basketball court, people were gathered together.
β
“You will be quarantined here for a few days. If there are no signs of infection, you will be released.”
β
“How many days?” someone couldn’t help but ask.
β
The officer’s face was cold. Not killing them immediately was already the greatest mercy. What to do with them in the end was a matter for the higher-ups.
β
These auction survivors had only one fate: elimination. Keeping them alive was merely a show for the city’s civilians, proving that Wucheng wasn’t indiscriminately killing innocent people.
β
The officer didn’t answer. A deathly silence fell over the scene. This prison might just be their graveyard.
β
Bai Qing Qing could only hope that Fu Chen wouldn’t abandon her, his sister, and would quickly find her and rescue her. If Fu Chen didn’t appear, she would have to expose her spatial abilities to survive. Bai Qing Qing and several others were locked up together. Looking out the window at the pale moonlight, her heart was heavy.
β
A moment later, she saw soldiers escorting a girl past the cells and ran over to stop her: “Bai Tian Tian.”
β
Bai Tian Tian immediately turned around, her mouth agape in surprise. “Qing Qing.” She gripped the iron bars of the cell. “How did you get arrested too?”
β
“Where are Shen Mingxuan and Xiao Yang?” Bai Qing Qing asked immediately. “You haven’t seen them?”
β
Bai Tian Tian shook her head.
β
“Hurry up, don’t dawdle,” the soldier urged.
β
Bai Tian Tian didn’t know where she was being taken, but Bai Qing Qing knew the reason. She lowered her voice and said, “Tell them to take me with them.”
