Chapter 463: Returning to the Safe Area

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Yinqiang to directly kill Commander Wang before so many people and without properly investigating what had happened. However, when he seized Commander Wang's shoulder, Li Yinqiang realized that he had made a wrong decision.

Commander Wang's eyes were extremely scarlet, and the throbbing veins on his forehead as well as the ones on the back side of his hand were quite visible. Undoubtedly, his strength had reached terrible levels.

Although Li Yinqiang was restraining Commander Wang by his shoulder, the latter did not seem to care at all. The next second, Commander Wang's neck swelled violently, almost exceeding the limits of humanity, and he turned his head and opened his mouth, biting Li Yinqiang's arm!

"What are you doing?" Li Yinqiang shouted and tried his best to throw Commander Wang off. And then Commander Wang's body was sent flying like a kite without a string and crashed into the crowd near the headquarters' entrance.

Li Yinqiang looked glum as he lowered his head. Although he had responded as soon as possible, his clothes had already been ripped apart by the bite and on his skin was a row of shallow teeth marks and blood was flowing down from the wound.

Generally speaking, such an injury was nothing for Li Yinqiang as he possessed a powerful physique, which could heal itself quickly. However, this injury was quite different, as blood continued flowing down and the plasma's color was vague. At the same time, Li Yinqiang could clearly see and feel his wrist's blood vessels twitching violently; even his fingers were trembling involuntarily, which reminded him of Commander Wang's prior symptoms.

"Virus!" Li Yinqiang shouted and then he tore a piece of clothes, fastening the proximal part of the upper arm tightly. Li Yinqiang was fully aware that his arm was useless now. It would soon lose its functions as the blood circulation was destroyed.

Losing an arm was a very heavy blow to Li Yinqiang! However, this was also the only method he could use.

At that moment, Li Yinqiang looked toward Commander Wang. He saw several survivors gathering around him in order to check on him, so he shouted immediately, "Stay away!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. Commander Wang jumped up immediately while scratching a survivor besides him. Suddenly, a deep blood mark appeared on the survivor's body, and he screamed in pain. Meanwhile, Leopard rushed and grabbed Commander Wang's head from behind, slamming it violently against a cement pillar next to them.

After a few loud noises and large amounts of blood splattering on the cement pillar, Leopard loosened his grip, and Commander Wang's body fell softly to the ground.

"Hurry! Call a military surgeon to perform an autopsy!" Leopard shouted.

"Isolate any injured people," Li Yinqiang ordered in a low voice, and then he turned his head and looked at the crowd.

All the survivors who were present were still in shock. Li Yinqiang did not find Jiang Liushi at all, but he already had a very unpredictable hunch.

"Commander Lian, where are the other members of Commander Wang's team? Did any other teams leave together with Wang's team?" Li Yinqiang asked immediately.

Actually, after witnessing that scene, Commander Lian also had similar thoughts. Currently, he looked older than before. "Commander Wang's troops were basically stationed next to the barracks, but many injured soldiers from his team were escorted back to the safe area to recuperate!" After finishing that sentence, it was as if all of Commander Lian's energy had left his body.

Truth be told, none of them knew what had actually taken place in the beast nest, so they decided to hold this mobilization meeting. Little did they know that the beast nest's terrible power had already taken root quietly.

"Xiyu, let's hurry." In an alleyway, Jiang Liushi was pulling Ran Xiyu's hand as they were sprinting.

"The Chief Commander had said that Commander Wang was lucky enough to escape with his members. Commander Wang was infected, so his members must be too. The whole area is not secure anymore, Jiang Liushi explained urgently.

After the mutation, Commander Wang could actually injure Li Yinqiang. Even though this was the outcome of catching Li Yinqiang off guard, his strength and speed were terrifying.

It was a dreadful situation, but what was even more frightening was the fact that the virus was highly contagious. Not even a few minutes had passed when Li Yinqiang's early symptoms appeared.

At the same time, Jiang Liushi noticed that Commander Wang's infection had taken several days to incubate, but Li Yinqiang's infection was way faster.

"Is it a zombie virus?" Ran Xiyu whispered breathlessly.

"It shouldn't be," Jiang Liushi answered.

According to Starseed's notification, it was a kind of special mutant energy. The beast nests could be divided into those of mutant beasts and insects', but none of them were related to zombies.

Jiang Liushi believed it was a kind of more powerful virus than the average zombie virus. Even level-2 paranormals could not fight it. That virus should also have the ability to evolve, so the current virus was different from the original one. Fortunately, this virus did not unknowingly spread across the globe as it did at that time. It was only partially localized, and it would attack human beings when a wound appeared.

Jiang Liushi speculated that both blood and sputum should be contagious. Li Yinqiang was bitten, but the other person was scratched. The main problem was that in the beginning stage, people were defenseless. Therefore, the number of people infected in the first phase was probably not less.

"I also think this should not be a large-scale, contagious virus," Ran Xiyu said, "I sensed the mental strength of Commander Wang. If he has not died, he will in a few days. That's only my conjecture. But even so, such a high-intensity virus will still make this area look like hell. Even if the infected people die quickly, the outcome will be irreversible. Of course, this feature can ensure that the virus will not be spread everywhere."

"We should leave this place immediately and go to the Safe Area," Jiang Liushi said.

Ran Xiyu was pulled by Jiang Liushi, feeling it was a familiar atmosphere from the early days of doomsday. However, she felt a sense of security this time. Feeling the body temperature passed by Jiang Liushi's palm, Ran Xiyu held his hands tightly.

At the same time, Ying, who was refreshing her spirit by closing her eyes, suddenly opened the, and stepped into the cab, sitting in the driver's seat. And then she opened the door quickly and shouted to Zhang Hai and Sun Kun, who were smoking outside, "Get on!"

Zhang Hai and Sun Kun were shocked. After sucking for the last time and extinguishing their cigarettes in the snow, they rushed into the minibus quickly. Ling also fell lightly into the car through the roof's window as if nothing had happened.

As soon as the door was closed, Ying launched the minibus immediately, and the roaring engine sounded.

"What happened?" Sun Kun asked. In his mind, all the powerful teams were gathered here, so nothing should happen. However, from Ying's reaction, he could tell that a major event had occurred.

"We should go to help Brother Jiang," Ying just answered simply.

Sun Kun stopped asking immediately. Actually, Ying didn't like to talk with them when Jiang Liushi was out. Li Yuxin looked out of the window as she was also a little bit puzzled.

When Jiang Liushi rushed with Ran Xiyu, they suddenly heard a shrilling sound mixed with various screams. Jiang Liushi turned to look at the source of the sound, which was none other from where the barracks was located.

At that moment, along with the sound of the engine, his minibus appeared on the front of the alley, so Jiang Liushi and Ran Xiyu jumped directly into it.

"Let's go!" Jiang Liushi ordered at once.

Ying closed the door and drove the rushing minibus outside the town. At such a critical juncture, the trade between Lu Changfei was completely unimportant.

Jiang Liushi could not afford to think about others. It was not the first time for them to experience an unexpected situation, so no matter if it were Lu Changfei or Hou Dingkun, both of them would know what to do. Assuming they misjudged the situation and made a wrong decision, they should also pay for their actions. Jiang Liushi felt his own state of mind had changed a lot.

His minibus was driven quickly along the road. The snow on the ground had been ground into dirty, muddy water. After a certain distance, Ran Xiyu suddenly looked back. "Brother Jiang, someone is chasing us."

"Disregard them. We should continue driving," Jiang Liushi said. He also turned and saw several trucks from afar, but he currently did not want to deal with other matters.

"I hope the Safe Area is still secure." Jiang Liushi felt anxious.

"Brother Jiang, what happened?" Li Yuxin asked nervously. She had already thought of several worst-case scenarios after hearing the unusual screams and sounds of gunfire. In her mind, if mutant beasts had attacked, Jiang Liushi would not have led them away.

"Don't worry. Your grandfather and mother are in Area A, so they should be well-protected," Jiang Liushi answered. And then he looked at his sister, who was lying on the bed.

In her sleeping state, Jiang Zhuying seemed very well-behaved, quiet and cute, and with steady breathing. Jiang Liushi was anxious for Li Yuxin's family and the serum!
