228: Evil people? Good people?
After slaying the Zombie King, Qin Shilei immediately went outside the street and summoned the elephant herd to charge towards Duan Tianhe and their position.
At this time, the zombies near the camp also began to attack the camp because they lost the restraint of the Zombie King.
Zombies further away were also attracted by the sound of battle and the smell of blood.
For a time, the camp became precarious under the siege of many zombies.
Fortunately, Qin Shilei had them prepare in advance, and they temporarily blocked the zombie attack by relying on the simple defense line previously built by the community.
Under the command of Little Strong in the high sky, the two Shadow Leopards even killed powerful Mutated Zombies that attempted to break into the community.
On the other side, Qin Shilei, riding on Tank's back, irresistibly carved a bloody path and returned to Zhang Xiaoli and their side.
"Qin Ge, where is Little Strong? And why are the Mammoth Giant Elephants all so battered?" Zhang Xiaoli asked while casting Revival to heal the elephant herd.
Although Tank and their defenses were strong, many ants could kill an elephant. With too many zombies, the elephant herd still suffered injuries that were neither light nor severe.
"We'll talk about this later. You all come up, and I'll take you to the camp here."
Qin Shilei had Zhang Xiaoli and the others jump onto the back of the elephant herd, then charged back towards the camp inside.
This time, due to the presence of Duan Tianhe, the surrounding zombies' attacks on Qin Shilei and his group became much sparser.
In the camp, the survivors' defense line was about to collapse, and everyone's will to fight was on the verge of breaking.
"What should we do? There are too many zombies, my vitality is exhausted. Are we going to die?" someone said pessimistically.
"We should have broken out from the beginning. If we hold out here, we only have a dead end," another person complained.
"Hmph, what a joke. The outside is full of zombies, and you want to break out? You probably won't run three hundred meters before being dismembered by zombies," someone scoffed.
"Qin's pets are still here. He will definitely come back. For the sake of survival, everyone, please hold on," Water Yuexin stabbed down the zombie in front of her with a sword.
"Even if Qin is an enemy of ten thousand, facing the vast tide of corpses, he probably won't be able to turn the tide. Everyone, just accept your fate," someone said disheartenedly.
"Thump thump thump!"
Just then, a series of huge footsteps came from afar.
Then a group of massive figures appeared in their line of sight.
Qin Shilei had returned, riding on the back of a Mammoth Giant Elephant, charging back with an unstoppable momentum.
The zombies along the way, under the charge of the giant elephants, were all crushed into meat paste.
"Yay!"
"We're saved!"
"Qin is mighty!"
Cheers erupted in the camp.
Upon entering the camp, Qin Shilei immediately ordered, "Duan Tianhe, control the surrounding zombies to stop attacking the camp."
"Okay." Duan Tianhe immediately concentrated and tried to control the surrounding zombies.
Although Duan Tianhe could control zombies, he was not as fast and convenient as the Zombie King in controlling zombies, and the number would be smaller.
Three minutes later, Duan Tianhe finally controlled the zombies within one hundred meters around the community, stopping them from continuing to attack the camp.
Zombies further away were also blocked by the zombies in front, preventing them from running forward to attack the camp.
The survivors in the camp, after the zombies stopped attacking, all collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
Qin Shilei scanned the surroundings and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Anyone who has been bitten or scratched by a zombie, step forward immediately."
As soon as he spoke, a small portion of the people in the crowd immediately changed their expressions and quietly covered their wounds.
The survivors sitting on the ground also immediately became vigilant, looking left and right at those around them.
After waiting for a while, no one came forward voluntarily.
"I'll say it again, those who have been injured by zombies, please step forward voluntarily. Do you want to turn into zombies and bite your companions to death?" Qin Shilei said coldly again.
"Qin Laoda, I hope your sword can be faster, so I can suffer less pain."
A young man with a ashen face stepped forward.
Then another middle-aged man stepped forward. He first tightly hugged his wife and twelve or thirteen-year-old son.
He instructed, "Fen, you and our son must live well. Son, you are a man now, you must protect your mother."
Then he turned to his companions beside him and pleaded, "Given that we once fought side by side, I hope my brothers will help me take care of my wife and son after I'm gone."
"Go well on your journey. We will definitely take good care of sister-in-law and nephew," his companion solemnly replied.
Under Qin Shilei's stern gaze, a total of 68 people finally stepped forward voluntarily.
"You all stand aside first."
Qin Shilei then asked for the third time, "Is there anyone else who hasn't stepped forward?"
No one responded, and no one else stepped forward.
Qin Shilei's face turned cold. He flashed and appeared in front of a burly man, reaching out and pulling down his high collar.
A row of tooth marks clearly appeared on the back of the other party's neck.
"Hmph!"
A red light flashed, and Qin Shilei cut off the other's head with a sword, "Infected with the zombie virus, and still trying to hide it."
Qin Shilei came to a woman in her early thirties again, reaching out and tearing off her sleeve.
"Don't kill me." The woman quickly explained, "The wound on my arm was from falling myself."
Qin Shilei expressionlessly drew his sword again and cut off the other's throat, sneering, "Do you think I'm blind? How could such obvious claw marks be from falling yourself?"
Immediately after, he killed more than a dozen survivors who had been bitten or scratched by zombies and had hidden their injuries.
Under his leadership, the survivors in the camp also checked each other and found fifty or sixty more people infected with the corpse poison.
"Kill them all!" Qin Shilei said indifferently.
"You can't kill me, I'm strong, I can definitely resist the virus!" A muscular young man protested loudly.
Qin Shilei waved his hand, sending out an arm-thick lightning bolt that instantly electrocuted the man into charcoal.
"It's too late now. If you had stepped forward voluntarily, I would have given you this chance."
The fifty or sixty people who were found to be infected with the corpse poison were also killed by the survivors in the camp.
Qin Shilei had seen or heard of many teams and even camps suffering huge casualties when some people who were infected with the corpse poison concealed it and then suddenly turned into zombies within the camp.
The sixty-eight survivors who had stepped forward voluntarily looked at Qin Shilei, who was slowly walking over, with pale faces.
Someone hesitated and asked, "Qin Laoda, we stepped forward voluntarily. Can you give us a chance to resist the corpse poison? You can tie us up first."
"Alright." Qin Shilei then took out a pile of small bottles containing blue liquid from his Qiankun Ring.
"This is the zombie serum developed by our Hope City. It has a high chance of curing the zombie virus. One bottle for each of you, and I'll keep the remaining two bottles for self-defense."
Upon hearing that there was zombie serum, those people felt as if they had suddenly gone from hell to heaven.
They all spoke gratefully, "Thank you, Qin Laoda, your life-saving kindness will never be forgotten."
