Chapter 2165: Mr. Zombie (24)

Chapter 2165: Chapter 2165: Mr. Zombie (24)

Captain Xia’s team indeed went to the base to get equipment, but they also saved quite a few survivors along the way.

All these survivors were settled in one place, and when leaving, they took everyone with them.

The team was quite long at this point.

Jin Ling was saved by Xia Li and was injured, so she was placed in a car at the front, much more comfortably than those cramped together in the back.

Jin Ling felt that relying on her own strength, it was unlikely to kill Chuzheng, so she had to rely on others.

What she said, there would always be fools who would believe.

Even if she couldn’t kill her, she could make her life less pleasant.

"Miss Jin Ling, how’s your recovery?"

Jin Ling collected her thoughts: "Almost there, I’m ready to move."

"That’s good."

"Thank you all. If it weren’t for you, I might..."

"Miss Jin Ling, don’t mention it. Saving you is our duty. As long as you’re fine, I have to get back to work."

"Hey, wait a minute." Jin Ling called him back: "Where’s Captain Xia?"

"The Captain... in the front, I think." He pointed towards the front of the convoy.

"Thank you."

"I’m off then." The man quickly ran elsewhere.

Jin Ling intended to find Xia Li, but just as she got up, she saw a car coming from afar.

The car...

Jin Ling found it somewhat familiar.

The car soon arrived and Jin Ling could clearly see the people getting out; they were indeed familiar.

These people had fallen behind earlier, Jin Ling knew they heard what she said and purposely lagged.

Now they’ve caught up.

What’s the situation with Ji Chuzheng?

They looked unharmed.

Jin Ling really wanted to know the result, but she couldn’t rush up to ask directly, she could only inquire indirectly.

After the group returned, they seemed a bit dazed, with some speaking nonsense, claiming to have seen lots of zombies.

Jin Ling overheard a bunch of chaotic accounts, none were what she wanted to hear.

She felt somewhat confused, unable to quite understand what they were talking about.

After this group returned, a message started spreading through the team.

It said that outside there’s a group of zombies with a very organized nature, and someone can control them.

The group looked mentally unstable, in a daze, so few believed it.

That’s absurd; if someone could control zombies, how would they survive?

Xia Li heard this news and seemed thoughtful.

During the incident at the resort, those zombies retreated quickly; it was evidently not right.

Zombies hardly know to retreat; they mostly follow instincts to destroy everything ahead.

At first, it was just a rumor, but later more people claimed to have seen scenes of zombies running wildly.

Some said they had encountered them, but those zombies didn’t bother with them, just moved towards one direction.

Chuzheng’s group of zombies was large, there were always survivors who saw them.

When more people witnessed it, the rumor gained credibility?

While this rumor was spreading, Jin Ling was also anxious, unsure why she was worried, just feeling uneasy like something was about to happen.

In the afternoon, as everyone was tired, the team didn’t progress, stopping to rest at a place.

Suddenly someone came to call Jin Ling over.

"What’s the matter with me?" Jin Ling asked the person leading her, feeling uneasy.

"I don’t know, Captain Xia asked me to call you." The person leading shook his head: "Captain Xia is over there; you should go over."

Jin Ling looked over, Xia Li was dressed well and appeared very spirited.

Xia Li had a handsome face and outstanding demeanor; even in a crowd, he stood out.

Honestly, such a man moved Jin Ling’s heart as well.

He was exactly the kind of person she wanted as a partner.

Unfortunately...

Xia Li was always business-like, rarely engaging with her. She sought opportunities several times but couldn’t get a few words with him.

Now Xia Li actively called her, Jin Ling should be pleased, yet she felt no joy, just a deepened anxiety.

Jin Ling took a deep breath and went over that way.

"Captain Xia, what’s the matter?" After speaking, Jin Ling noticed there were others present.

The man wore a floral shirt, yet draped an out-of-season mink on his shoulders, holding a cigar in his mouth, the big gold chain catching the eye, very much like a big boss of society.

This person...

"I called Miss Jin here to ask something," Xia Li said.

"Uh, what is it?" Jin Ling thought about recent events, she actually hadn’t done anything, so even if there was something, it wouldn’t involve her.

Thinking this, Jin Ling relaxed again.

But what surprised Jin Ling was, what this man brought up wasn’t related to Chuzheng.

But rather...

"It’s her, it’s she." Someone behind Big Gold Chain accused her: "She drew those zombies to the water plant, killed many people, had it not been for luck, we’d be dead by now."

Jin Ling’s pupils shrank, instinctively rebutting: "What nonsense are you talking!"

She hadn’t expected it to be the water plant incident.

How long ago did that happen?

Why are there survivors... it shouldn’t be possible!

"I’m not talking nonsense." The person was agitated too: "It’s you, I saw it, you deliberately led those zombies!!"

Jin Ling calmed down slightly: "I absolutely don’t know what you’re talking about, I’ve never seen you, nor do I know you, why are you accusing me?"

Jin Ling firmly denied ever seeing him, also knowing nothing about any water plant.

However, what surprised Jin Ling was, the other party had a working camera, capturing her photos at the water plant.

When the photo came out, Jin Ling’s face changed.

"What else can you say!" The person pointed at Jin Ling: "Back then I thought you were kind, didn’t think you’d be so vicious!"

Jin Ling wanted to defend herself a bit, but didn’t know what to say, being at a loss for words for a long while.

This incident was long past, and in such times, expecting justice isn’t realistic.

Everyone’s just trying to survive.

Morals and ethics have long been trampled underfoot.

Among these survivors, who can say they’ve never done anything regrettable?

Though...

This incident could cause people to isolate and shun her.

After all, willing to use so many as bait to escape, being so cruel, who’d want to be with her?

"Captain Xia, I..."

Xia Li’s face stayed calm, ignoring Jin Ling, turning to leave.

Big Gold Chain laughed oddly twice: "Little girl, don’t use people as weapons, careful not to hurt yourself."

Jin Ling watched Big Gold Chain leave with the accuser, her expression transitioning from green to white, then back to green.

Why...

Those in the water plant should have all died back then.

Why is there still a survivor?

In that situation, if she hadn’t acted so, how could she have left?

They were the ones who chased her out first!

Is it really her fault?
