Du Yuanxing was talking pretty calmly, but in fact, he wasn't so confident.
'Damn! Bosses! Please show up! I'm gonna lose it!'
Looking at those crowded zombies which had barred the road, Du Yuanxing did not know what to do. However, he couldn't show those workers how panicked he was, or they wouldn't believe him.
As all the workers got off the truck, Du Yuanxing glanced at them, then made a step toward those zombies. Seeing him heading toward the most dangerous area, those workers who had the courage to get off the truck now didn't dare to follow him forward.
While walking, Du Yuanxing murmured silently, "Someone please come here to control these zombies. Didn't you say that someone will walk us in once we arrive? Where is that person? No, I mean, where is that zombie?'
The closer he got to those zombies, the more unsure he was.
The group of workers stood before the truck, quietly watching him while waiting for the zombie crowd to respond.
Right at that moment, a zombie roar was heard from a distance away. The owner of that voice must have used its superpower to send its voice to this far.
Hearing that roar, Du Yuanxing finally sighed with relief. He stopped walking and stood on the middle of the road, looking at the zombie crowd with anticipation.
Then, a little body whose face was entirely covered in bandage slowly walked out of the crowd. People couldn't see his face, only a purely dark pair of eyes which were glowing with a weird red light. Judging by the height, he was about ten years old.
His eyes clearly told everybody that he was not a human being.
The zombie boy calmly walked up to the front and stared at Du Yuanxing and the others.
Du Yuanxing hadn't met Lin Qiao's zombie leader squad, so he didn't know the zombie boy. However, judging by the way he was standing before the zombie crowd, those zombies seemed to be under his control.
Huang Tianfei was on alert when he saw that zombie boy. He recognized the zombie boy as a zombie leader, which was powerful enough to tear everyone on the scene into pieces.
Facing a zombie leader, he had no other choice but to run. The people who were around him shared the same feeling with him.
The people who were persuaded by Du Yuanxing earlier were all commoners. They were almost failing to survive back in the base. They had no skills, and no one wanted their labor. So, they came here and didn't want to go back with empty hands. The desire of living made them believe that what Du Yuanxing said was true.
The zombie boy spent about ten seconds watching them quietly, then turned to give the zombie crowd a roar.
"Roar!"
After that, Du Yuanxing and the others saw those zombies which hadn't moved at all start to step aside and make a path.
Huang Tianfei and the others watched all of that in shock; some of them couldn't even react.
What was happening? Why on earth were those zombies making a path for them? They had the road jammed just a minute ago; but now, they moved away as that zombie boy had given a roar. What did that mean?
At that point, the boy zombie sprung up and hopped onto the roof of the truck which was behind those people.
Bang! He landed heavily on the truck roof.
The driver and the soldiers who were still on the truck all jumped out with fear, stepping as far away from the truck as possible.
The zombie boy stood on the truck roof and sniffed around, then leaned his head toward the group of workers and made a few deep gasps. After that, he stayed on the truck roof, eying them greedily.
Those workers raised their heads to look at the boy zombie with fright, worrying that it might suddenly pounce on them. The ones who managed to stand still all had strong minds.
Du Yuanxing glanced at the zombie boy, then at the path, and then at the truck under the zombie boy's feet. After that, he gave up on the idea of getting back into the vehicle.
"Um… Now there is a way. Let's just get in, in case these zombies regret," he said while moving forward.
The others followed behind him with hesitation. They were all reluctant, but still followed Du Yuanxing closely. He was a level-five superpowered man after all. Staying close to him made those commoners feel safe.
Huang Tianfei and the other few silently followed behind those people. They were actually at high levels, but the others had no idea about that.
Among all these people, Huang Tianfei's level was the highest. The other relatively higher-leveled ones had sensed that, so they quietly followed him.
"Roar!" The zombie boy suddenly gave them a roar from the truck roof, probably because he wasn't happy about how slow those people were. Those people trembled with fear, then turned around to find that the zombie boy had leaped off the truck, slowly following behind them step by step.
Huang Tianfei and the others quickly ran forward, pushed aside some commoners, and squeezed into the worker group. While following Du Yuanxing forward, they fixed their eyes on the zombie boy.
Those commoners who were pushed to the end of the group were so afraid. However, Huang Tianfei's clean clothes told them that they shouldn't offend him.
Therefore, they brought up the rear, or more specifically, served as human shields with a very strong fear.
"Move faster! He thinks that you're too slow," Du Yuanxing glanced back at the zombie boy while walking forward in big steps. Then, he thought for a second and said to the others.
"Roar!" The zombie boy gave another roar, seemingly to respond to him.
Soon, they easily passed through the area which was jammed by zombies.
As they got through, the zombie boy again roared out loud. Following his voice, the zombie crowd gathered again in the middle of the road.
Still, their eyes were fixed on that group of workers who had just passed through.
As those workers entered the new base site, the zombie boy turned and hopped back onto the truck roof, then leaped on top of the building nearby and disappeared.
After coming in, Du Yuanxing gave a sigh with relief.
"How far do we have to walk? Will there be more zombies on our way?" Huang Tianfei moved to the front of the group and followed behind Du Yuanxing as he asked. His tone of speaking was unfriendly, as if Du Yuanxing owed him something.
Du Yuanxing glanced at him, then responded blandly while moving, "Just a couple of more miles."
Du Yuanxing's cold attitude made Huang Tianfei feel annoyed. However, he didn't say anything, but gave the former a cold glance while silently moving forward with the others.
"Those zombies you just saw were driven out of the city by us, so this city is now zombie-free, very safe," said Du Yuanxing.
At that point, the people who had just safely passed through a zombie crowd were doubting the entire world.
What did they see? Those zombies didn't eat them, but made a path for them! They made a path! Had they just encountered a group of fake zombies?
