271 Tribe Girl
At dawn, Wang Ran got out of his sleeping bag.
The sleeping bag was really well-made. In the middle of the night, he had discovered that it could fit three people.
Although it was a tight fit, some basic movements could be made.
On the other side, Zhang Guozhu and the others also woke up.
“F*ck, Ah Long, did you fart in the sleeping bag!?”
Zhang Guozhu’s roar was heard.
“Captain Zhang, I can’t help it, alright?!
“I never complained about your snoring, okay?
“If I didn’t shake you so often, we might have been exposed,” Ah Long refuted.
The two of them jumped under the tree while cursing.
The group of people quickly finished their preparations and were ready to set off.
This time, their goal was to capture these bugs for research.
At the same time, they had to avenge their fallen. Blood for blood!
Under Wang Ran’s lead, the group headed deeper into the forest.
Perhaps the insects did not like coming out in broad daylight, but Wang Ran and the others walked for an hour without encountering a single insect.
“Uncle, did you notice…
“That there are no zombies in this area?” Tang Tang muttered.
“They were probably all killed by these bugs.
“Didn’t Zhang say that the zombie dog died within a few seconds after being bitten?
“It would be strange if there were still zombies alive in this area,” Wang Ran said indifferently.
“This insect is really something. Was it born in a lab, or was it a product of evolution?”
The curious Tang Tang continued to ask questions.
“I have reason to believe that it’s the latter…
“Even the company has sent teams out to sample it….
“The virus has only been spreading on a large scale for a month. No lab can artificially cultivate such an insect within such a short timeframe.
“So I’m more inclined to believe that it’s a product of nature.
“The virus was never synthesized in the lab. It was extracted from Ada.
“Nature has hidden so many mysteries from us. We humans have only stumbled upon the tip of the iceberg,” Liu Shiyao explained.
“Researcher Liu, I could barely keep up with anything you just said.
“In any case, we just need to follow orders and complete the mission.
“In the end, we still have to rely on you scientists.
“Regarding the antivirus medicine you developed last time, we brought it back and mass-produced it.
“When a part of the million zombies came for us, many regular human soldiers were bitten. If it had not been for your antivirus, they would have become zombies.
“Would these bugs change the balance again?” Zhang Guozhu asked.
“It’s hard to say now. We’ll only know after some labwork has been done.
“I’m just afraid that this bug is a Pandora’s Box, and once it’s opened…
“We can only hope that they remain as a threat to zombies, and zombies alone.”
Liu Shiyao did not dare to speculate any further.
At that moment, Wang Ran suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Don’t talk, there’s movement up ahead,” Wang Ran stretched out his hand and said.
His hearing was far better than the average person’s, and he could hear the footsteps from far away.
Zhang Guozhu and the other three held daggers in one hand and pistols in the other. They were ready for battle.
The sound was getting closer and closer, so close that everyone could hear it.
A young girl wearing tribal-style clothes walked out from the bushes.
The young girl had dark skin, but her eyes were round and vibrant.
“Ah! Bad guys!”
The young girl was shocked, and she turned around and ran into the forest.
After running a few steps, she tripped over a tree root on the ground and fell to the ground. It seemed like she had hurt herself.
Wang Ran and the others immediately approached her.
“Bad guys! Don’t come any closer!
“If you come any closer, I’ll release bugs to bite you!”
The young girl glared at Wang Ran and the others. She was about to put a flute in her hand to her mouth.
Wang Ran smiled. It was such an innocent-sounding threat.
However, he still had to soothe her.
“Little girl, don’t be afraid. We’re just passing by,” Wang Ran said with a smile.
The young girl looked at Wang Ran carefully, her eyes full of suspicion.
Recently, a lot of people had come to the forest and caused great destruction.
Moreover, this smile looked sinister…
At that moment, Liu Shiyao walked out.
Liu Shiyao looked like a gentle university teacher. It was an appearance that children found to be harmless.
She walked in front of the young girl and extended her hand.
“Little girl, are you hurt? Let me help you up,” Liu Shiyao said gently.
The young girl looked at Liu Shiyao, and she relaxed a little.
She held Liu Shiyao’s hand and slowly stood up.
“Thank you…” The young girl muttered softly.
She looked very introverted, probably because she had not had much contact with outsiders.
“Little girl, why are you walking in the forest alone?
“Where’s your family?” Liu Shiyao asked gently.
“I don’t have a family. I only have my clansmen. They…
“Wait! Are you trying to get information out of me?
“The chief said that outsiders are very cunning!”
The girl took a few steps back and became alert again.
“Are you going to tell us or not? If you won’t, I’ll beat you up!”
Tang Tang ran out of patience. She directly strode up with her axe.
“Tang Tang, calm down.”
Liu Shiyao held Tang Tang back.
Any child would be wary of strangers.
Not everyone was as fearless as Tang Tang.
At that moment, footsteps were heard from the forest.
“Be on alert!”
Zhang Guozhu immediately hissed at his men, and the men put their hands on the guns at their waists.
“Roar!”
A zombie dog rushed out and pounced on the tribal girl who was closest to it.
“Big dog!”
The young girl was stunned, her eyes filled with fear.
It seemed that she had seen zombie dogs before.
“Move aside, Shiyao.”
Tang Tang raised her axe and directly chopped down at the zombie dog.
“Swish!”
Like cutting a watermelon, the zombie dog was cleanly sliced in two.
Large amounts of blackened intestines and internal organs sprayed out.
Liu Shiyao shielded the young girl and moved to the side, avoiding the rotten innards.
“Amazing!”
The young girl stared at Tang Tang with wide eyes.
This girl, who looked about the same age as her, was this powerful?!
Without the bugs, she had no way of dealing with these big dogs.
“Oh f*ck, I found them!”
A few foreigners dressed as mercenaries sneaked out of the forest.
Their uniforms also had a “T” logo on them, so they were definitely from the company.
Zhang Guozhu and the other three immediately pointed their guns at the other party.
The other party didn’t hesitate. Their rifles were raised at Zhang Guozhu and the others.
Both sides were very nervous. A single shot would trigger a gunfight.
If they opened fire at this distance, both sides would take heavy fire.
