“Everyone, get on.” Qiao Mu looked away from Elderly Lady Qiao and hopped onto the carriage. She quickly opened the seat and pulled out a bag from inside.

Wei Ziqin hastily entered the carriage with Qiao Lin, followed by Qiao Hu and Shaoyao.

Qiao Mu opened the cloth bag and took out two delicate daggers, giving one each to her mother and Qiao Hu.

As a woman who had never held a weapon in her life, holding a dagger caused Wei Ziqin’s entire person to start trembling uncontrollably, but her grasp on the dagger remained tight.

“Mother, don’t be afraid. This is just for self-defense. Everything will be fine.” Qiao Mu patted the back of her mother’s hand before pulling out a repeating bow and throwing it at Shaoyao. “You know how?”

Shaoyao nodded promptly.

Qiao Mu took out a small bag of iron arrows and handed it to Shaoyao. “You will stay inside the carriage to protect them. You won’t need to come out unless an abnormal situation arises.”

“Yes, Little Master.”

“Qiaoqiao, are there… are there a lot of zombies coming?” Wei Ziqin’s voice was slightly trembling.

Qiao Mu nodded with a serious expression. “There are about one to two hundred.”

If she was by herself, she naturally would not care about these 100 or so zombies since she could swiftly escape if she could not beat them.

However, with a group who were weak and feeble in tow, she must handle it prudently.

Qiao Zhongxing knew that the situation was urgent, so he made the horse start dashing with a snap of the reins as soon as he hopped on. Qiao Zhongbang mounted his horse and looked back, seeing dust flying everywhere a little distance away in the forest. Qiao Wenjuan’s screams, accompanied by roars and howls, were drawing near.

As the yellow-maned horse galloped, Wei Ziqin looked back through the rear window and instantly grew cold.

Qiaoqiao was right. She could see 100-200 zombies gathered together, their rigid bodies slowly running forward.

Some distance away from the group of zombies, Qiao Wenjuan was scrambling in a state of disarray, rolling forward with both her arms and legs.

However, perhaps due to her legs growing limp from fright, she would trip onto the ground every two steps and roll on the ground before climbing back up and stumbling forward while shrieking.

When she caught sight of the Qiao Family carriage, her befuddled eyes finally focused, and she was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the carriage suddenly move.

“NO!!!” Qiao Wenjuan released a heartwrenching scream and reached out in horror toward the carriage, abruptly falling onto the ground with a bang.

Suddenly, the two nearest zombies pounced on her with their stiff bodies.

As Qiao Wenjuan’s mind turned blank, a strange power erupted from her out of nowhere. With all her might, she flung the two zombies off of her.

“Ah!!! Don’t come over! Don’t come over!!!” Qiao Wenjuan madly chased after the carriage. For the first time in 17 years, she realized that her speed could be exerted to this extent!

Wei Ziqin was dumbfounded by what she saw but quickly tugged Qiao Mu’s hand. “Qiaoqiao, look! How can Wenjuan be so fast?”

Qiao Mu took a look, and her gaze glinted.

She knew that after the zombie outbreak, a group of people with special abilities appeared besides mystic cultivators. Qiao Mu was not certain whether Qiao Wenjuan developed this ability in her previous life, but the girl had clearly grasped a special speed now that she was on the brink of death right now.

However, to Qiao Mu, extraordinary speed was a fairly weak ability because she could take care of speed with an offhand talisman.

In the late stage, when the speed of zombies also caught up, this type of special people who did not have strength and only had speed were not welcomed by operation squads.
