Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
” Where are them?!” Zhao Yu seemed to have guessed the origin of these zombies.
“It was used by our people…” Huang Zheng Yi looked embarrassed. He didn’t think too much about it at that time.
“We can buy those three genetic elixirs…”
As Zhao Yu remained silent, Huang Zheng Yi continued his explanation, “Our people used the three vials of genetic elixir, and as a result, two of them went mad on the spot, biting others randomly…”
“Those who were bitten by them also turned into madmen, biting everyone in sight…”
“Out of necessity, we could only lock them up…”
“Officer, do you know how to restore their sanity in situations like this?!”
So that was it!
Zhao Yu seemed to understand; the side effect of the genetic elixir wasn’t death, but turning them into zombies.
The reason why zombies hadn’t become widespread in this world was those who had gone to the Reed Group and failed the injection were eliminated on the spot by the Reed Group.
The helicopter carried the genetic elixir had crashed by accident, these people found it and used it without the supervision of the Reed Group, causing someone turned into zombies.
Is there a cure for zombies?!
Zhao Yu didn’t know. According to the descriptions in movies, it was almost impossible for those who turned into zombies to regain their senses because their entire brain had been corroded by the virus.
His mission this time was to eliminate the zombies as well.
“There’s no saving them; we must eliminate them all before they spread!” Zhao Yu shook his head as response.
“What?!”
The people were shocked, not expecting Zhao Yu to give such a response.
“We came here to prevent the unpredictable consequences…”
“Since it has already happened, our mission now is to prevent the spread of the zombies and to eliminate them…”
“No way!”
Wang Yao stood out and shouted loudly, “They are our companions; we can’t let you just kill them!”
“That’s right, they are our companions; no one can kill them!”
The others started to make a commotion as well.
“Like 1 said, they’re zombies now, not living people. There’s no way to save them!”
“But still, we can’t do that, they are our comrades!”
Huang Zheng Yi emphasized, his men subconsciously raising their guns.
The soldiers on Zhao Yu’s side also promptly went on alert.
The two groups found themselves in a tense standoff, guns drawn at each other.
“You should be well aware of the consequences of opposing the Reed Group!”
Zhao Yu stated coldly.
He certainly wasn’t one of the Reed Group, but the extermination of the zombies could be carried out under their banner.
Huang Zheng Yi and his people panicked at first, but he quickly retorted with bluster, “This is our turf!”
He gestured with a wave of his hand, and suddenly, teammates hidden in the distance got the signal and started to shout.
“Wow wow wow wow—!”
A messy roar of shouts came from afar; judging by the noise alone, there were at least two to three hundred people.
Zhao Yu hadn’t expected there to be so many people in this place.
If a conflict were to start, with only fifty well-trained soldiers might not necessarily win.
Moreover, he was afraid to die,!
Zhao Yu had no choice but to insist firmly, “Even if you kill us, the Reed Group will send more people…”
“Preventing the spread of zombies is a responsibility to all of humanity, do you understand?”
As they realized that even if they managed to scare away these people, they were still dealing with the Reed Group.
With access to helicopters, the next time they might come with tanks, or even hundreds or thousands of troops.
By then, it could be a disaster for them!
The crowd went into a panic.
“What do we do?!”
“They are people from the Reed Group…”
Zhao Yu glanced at the zombies confined in buildings around them and said, “There were only three of you who initially injected it, so why have so many turned into zombies now?!”
“Because they were bitten…”
“That’s right!”
“The transmission of zombies can happen through scratches and bites. Once the zombies here spread, the consequences are unimaginable!”
“But… but they are our…”
“Even if they have gone mad, we want to try to wake them up…” Wang Yao spoke up.
“If our method fails, then there’s no need for you to act, we will deal with our own brothers and sisters ourselves…”
“That’s right!”
The people then remembered their earlier actions; wasn’t it to wake up their frenzied companions?
To give up without even trying would be too unfair to their former comrades.
“What do you plan to do?” Zhao Yu asked curiously.
“We plan to take them to the places that hold the deepest memories for them, to try to awaken them…” Wang Yao recounted the love story of Gou Dan and Mao Mao.
Zhao Yu looked at the people in front of him.
He understood that forcibly killing the zombies might provoke an attack from these people.
“I understand, but let me make one thing clear, if you fail, all the zombies in this campus must die!”
Zhao Yu glanced at the daily task refresh countdown and thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll give you two hours. If you’re not successful in two hours, my men will take action!”
“Fine, it’s a deal!”
Zhao Yu was willing to give them two hours to try.
After all, it was best not to conflict with people from the Reed Group, as they were not bold enough to provoke such a powerful entity.
“All units, retreat!”
At Zhao Yu’s command, he led all the soldiers into the vehicles and headed back the way they came. Only after leaving the main gate, he ordered someone to close the gate to prevent the zombies from escaping.
He sent people to circle the school to check for any other entrances or exits.
To his relief, the school had only one exit, and even the surrounding walls were at least three and a half meters high, topped with barbed wire.
He had eight off-road vehicles parked in an arc, their machine guns aimed at the school interior, then turned off the engines and stationed at the gate.
On the other side, Huang Zheng Yi and the others back to inform everyone of the results of their negotiations with Zhao Yu.
“Then let’s hurry up, two hours. If we can awaken even one comrade, then we will have succeeded…”
“That’s right, hurry, let’s get Gou Dan tied up to the and to the rooftop…”
“Let’s begin!”
