224: Strange zombies

Qing County, Xinyuan Plaza.

"I hope I can find a live fish and some pickled vegetables. Xiaojie said she wants to eat pickled fish."

Duan Tianhe muttered to himself as he walked towards the Supermarket on the first floor of the shopping mall.

He wore large sunglasses, carried a gleaming machete, and had a large backpack slung over his back.

The pale-faced, ragged Zombies around him showed no reaction to him at all.

Entering the messy Supermarket, Duan Tianhe walked directly to the seafood section.

When he saw several lively grass carp in the fish tank, he revealed a long-lost smile, "Great, these fish actually escaped the clutches of the Zombies."

Then he found canned pickled vegetables and some ingredients on the shelves; pickled fish was a go.

Duan Tianhe put some supplies into his backpack and then returned to the fish section.

He reached in and scooped out the five or six-pound grass carp.

He didn't notice that when he scooped out the grass carp, the surrounding Zombies began to twitch their noses and slowly walked towards him.

As Duan Tianhe gutted the grass carp, the surrounding Zombies instantly went into a frenzy, roaring and rushing over.

"Roar!" Duan Tianhe looked up and roared, "Get lost! Don't disturb me while I'm making pickled fish for Xiaojie."

Hearing his roar, those Zombies all showed expressions of terror and turned to flee into the distance.

However, another two-meter-tall, bulky Zombie, running too fast, couldn't stop and suddenly came within one meter of Duan Tianhe.

Duan Tianhe lifted his leg and kicked, sending the opponent flying over ten meters away. He said with a look of disgust, "You stink! Don't get too close to me."

After processing the grass carp, he took several bags and wrapped the fish meat layer by layer to prevent the fishy smell from attracting Zombies on the road.

When he walked out of the Supermarket, he found that most of the Zombies inside the shopping mall had already run out to the plaza.

And outside the plaza, a group of Mammoth Giant Elephants was savagely slaughtering Zombies.

Upon seeing that group of Mammoth Giant Elephants, Duan Tianhe immediately felt a surge of excitement, "If I can tame this group of elephants, Xiaojie's safety will be guaranteed."

Thinking it, he did it. Duan Tianhe immediately walked towards the elephant herd, pulling out a contract scroll as he went.

"Sir, these are my pets. You should consider carefully whether you still want to tear open that contract scroll."

Qin Shilei's stern voice came from behind the elephant herd.

"They have an owner?"

Duan Tianhe was stunned for a moment, then excitedly looked towards the back of the elephant herd, "You are human?"

"Of course, I am human." Qin Shilei retorted, "Are you human or a Zombie?"

The person opposite was quite strange; his attire and speaking manner made him seem very human. But a Zombie had just passed by him without attacking him.

"I am also human, of course..."

As Duan Tianhe spoke, his tone dropped, and he became wary.

Zhang Xiaoli leaned close to Qin Shilei and whispered, "Qin Ge, do you think he might be an intelligent Mutated Zombie?"

"It's very possible."

After Qin Shilei finished speaking, he instantly teleported beside Duan Tianhe and punched him.

"You are so unreasonable!" Duan Tianhe said angrily, "What did I do to provoke you? You just started hitting me without a word."

He also clenched his hand into a fist and exchanged a punch with Qin Shilei.

"Oh!" Qin Shilei looked at Duan Tianhe, who had only retreated half a step, with slight surprise.

Not only could the opponent take his sudden punch, but his strength was only three-tenths weaker than his own.

He was even more suspicious that the opponent was a Zombie now.

Just to be safe, he still didn't draw his sword, continuing to increase his strength, hoping to knock the opponent down with his fists.

Duan Tianhe, who was being beaten back step by step, raised the long blade in his hand with a furious expression.

Just then, a vine silently wrapped around his feet, instantly binding him like a zongzi.

Qin Shilei took the opportunity to punch Duan Tianhe's wrist, sending his long blade flying.

However, Duan Tianhe's aura suddenly surged, and a ball of black flame instantly erupted from his body, burning through the vines wrapped around him.

He was about to use the flames on his body to burn Qin Shilei to ashes, but he felt a chill on his neck, and a blood-red longsword was already resting against his throat.

"You despicable villains!" Duan Tianhe cursed loudly, "Two people fighting one!"

"Heh heh." Qin Shilei reached out and took off the opponent's glasses. "For a Zombie, what honor is there to speak of?"

The eyes beneath the sunglasses were completely red, clearly those of an intelligent Zombie.

With a thought, he wanted to swing Blood Soul and chop off the opponent's head.

"Wait!" Duan Tianhe quickly called out, "I am really human!"

"Who are you trying to fool?" Qin Shilei said disdainfully, "What's wrong with your eyes? Don't tell me you just have pink eye. And why don't those Zombies attack you?"

"I..." Duan Tianhe argued, "I was just bitten by a Zombie and mutated. Or you can think of me as a human who perfectly Evolved after being infected with a virus, like in the movies."

"Alice?" Qin Shilei said with some hesitation.

"What Alice?" Zhang Xiaoli said, "Qin Ge, this is clearly a smarter Zombie; it's safer to kill it."

"Why are you killing me?" Duan Tianhe said angrily, "I've never killed a human. Besides my eyes turning red, how am I different from a human?"

"You really haven't eaten people or drunk blood?" Qin Shilei asked, frowning.

If the opponent really hadn't killed anyone, he really couldn't just kill him with a single sword stroke.

"Of course, although I also had symptoms of bloodlust at first, I was afraid of displeasing my girlfriend, so I endured it." Duan Tianhe said very sincerely.

"Your girlfriend, is she human or was she bitten by a Zombie like you?" Qin Shilei asked again.

"A genuine human." Duan Tianhe answered affirmatively.

Qin Shilei didn't know how to deal with this Mutated Zombie for a moment.

The opponent's strength was at least around Silver Two-star or Three-star, and this place was only a hundred kilometers from Hope City. If he left the opponent alive, it would be a hidden danger for Hope City.

Qin Shilei asked again, "Can you control the Zombies in the city?"

"I can control them, but Xiaojie doesn't like Zombies, so I rarely control them." Duan Tianhe explained.

"How many can you control?"

"One or two thousand, perhaps. I haven't tried more."

"You take me to see your girlfriend. If it's really as you say, that she's human and you haven't killed anyone, I can let you go."

"Okay."

Duan Tianhe quickly led Qin Shilei to his girlfriend, Yang Jie, a very delicate girl.

Qin Shilei thought for a moment and said, "You help me attract Zombies. Once Qing County's Zombies are all killed, I'll let you go."

He ultimately decided to let the opponent go.

He also wanted to see what kind of Evolution this Mutated Zombie would undergo.
