Chapter 381: Evolved Taste
Chapter 381: Evolved Taste
“No need, don’t. I’m not worried. Tang Siluo. I think Zhang Boxun treats you well—you should worry about your Zhang Boxun.”
An Ran, holding Doll, watches Tang Siluo endlessly pestering Luo Feifan. She walks over to the truck and relays what Luo Feifan wants Yun Tao to know. Then she looks at Little Mint, who is already asleep, her cheeks flushed but her breathing steady, with no veins bulging on her neck.
An Ran feels relieved and heads to the medical vehicle behind to tell Zhao Ru and Liang Ziyu about Zhan Lian’s plan.
Zhao Ru nods, jumps down from the co-pilot seat, and says to An Ran, “I was just about to tell you the same. We shouldn’t just lift the truck to the front—we should also lift the medical vehicle. It’ll be helpful to have it with us when we head north.”
As they talk, Liang Ziyu and several others get out of the vehicle. A few ability users discuss the matter with Yun Tao and decide to focus on moving the truck to the front first, then come back to lift the medical vehicle. The truck and medical vehicle are both very heavy, and Yun Tao can barely move them on his own. The speed is slow.
The plan is to concentrate all their strength, move the truck forward quickly, seize any open space to park it, and then return for the medical vehicle.
Yun Tao, Liang Ziyu, and the ability users lift the truck and move forward a short distance.
But at that moment, something unexpected happens.
As the national highway team reaches the entrance of Tiesi Village, the fire Luo Feifan set is about to burn out. Thick smoke curls upward, and metal spikes set by Zhan Lian are covered in charred rat corpses. Several survivors bypass the spikes and run out through the smoke, shouting and screaming as if escaping a nightmare.
An Ran holds Doll tightly, grabs Zhao Ru’s hand, and shouts, “Get your aunt off the medical vehicle! Something’s happening!”
The plants on the roadside seem to warn her—danger is coming.
Zhao Ru hurries back. An Ran clenches a handful of flower seeds and follows Yun Tao and Liang Ziyu. They, along with several ability users, carry the truck and squeeze deeper into the team.
Screams echo from the thick smoke, confirming the situation is getting worse.
Chaos erupts suddenly. Yun Tao is busy lifting the truck and can’t look after An Ran. He shouts, “An Ran! An Ran! Get to the front! Go to the front!”
Liang Ziyu, worried about Zhao Ru, wants to abandon the truck and go find her, but when he hears Yun Tao call An Ran’s name, he helps lift the truck, then turns back to search for Zhao Ru.
The survivors still inside the vehicles hear the screams and rush toward the front of the team.
Suddenly, a human-shaped, copper-skinned zombie jumps out from the thick smoke. It opens its mouth wide and spits out a long tongue, like a frog’s, which rolls up a survivor some distance away and drags him back into the smoke.
An Ran stares with wide eyes and runs toward the front of the team.
What kind of monster is this? Has the copper-skinned zombie evolved a sense of taste? How else could it have such a long tongue?!
Turning around, a survivor next to her suddenly shoves her. An Ran reflexively spins to avoid the push. Just then, as she rounds a car, two men lunge at her and Doll.
