After entering the Mangdang Mountain Forest Park, they were far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The atmosphere of the zombie crisis suddenly faded. Mangdang Mountain was lush with trees and jagged rocks. It was located on the southwest side of the Taiping District where the university town was located. It was considered the largest mountain range in the area. The Mangdang Mountain Forest Park, which was set up on the mountainside of Mangdang Mountain, was one of the major tourist attractions in Taiping. The only national road in the east and west of the Taiping District was winding halfway up the mountain.
The tourist service area of the forest park was also in a mess. Lin Jian and the others replenished some food and water here and continued to move forward.
After driving for an hour, the group had already driven out of the range of Mangdang Mountain Forest Park. There were also damaged cars and rotting corpses on the roadside. Some cars crashed into each other in a panic, while others crashed into the roadside. Most of them were still quietly parked by the roadside as a warm little car. Most of the drivers fled the scene, but of course, a small number of them died near their cars.
It was not easy to drive when there were too many cars. From time to time, they had to stop the car to clear the corpses on the road. Zhang Ying had originally strongly requested to change to a high-end car. However, the car she had her eyes on was either unable to start or did not have much gas left. She could only drive this car that was said to be "tarnishing" her driving career.
After driving a little further, they saw a gas station in the distance. However, the cars on this section of the road were crowded into a pile. Not only were there cars coming from the same direction, but there were also cars coming from the opposite direction. They were crowded into a swarm of bees, completely blocking the entire national road.
"Take your luggage and get out of the car. Let's go to the gas station in front to see if there's a car.”Lin Jian got out of the car and tried to push the car with Jingguo, but they couldn't move the two cars in front of them. Lin Jian thought about it and decided to give up the car and walk forward.
"Yay! "Let's just walk!" The carsick Little Fox was extremely excited! Finally, he didn't have to sit in this damn car anymore!
"Then you can walk slowly by yourself!”Zhang Ying, who was filled with anger, continued to bicker with her.
As they approached the service area of the gas station, the scene here made Lin Jian and the others frown. Zhao Qian and Zhang Ying's faces were even paler.
This place was simply a purgatory! Not only were there all kinds of scrapped cars, but at least a hundred people had died in this small gas station. Corpses were scattered all over the gas station, and blood dyed the ground red.
" Ugh..." Zhao Qian finally couldn't help but vomit when she saw a young woman with half her head cut off. Lin Jian quickly came over to pat her back and helped her to the public toilet to wash up.
"Why did so many people die here? They look like ordinary people…Is there a zombie crowd around?”Lao Cai was puzzled.
"No, they were shot to death.”Zhang Ying calmly analyzed. She suppressed her disgust and went forward to lift up a middle-aged man's corpse. There was a bloody hole on his forehead. "This is the mark of a bullet hole. A team equipped with firearms killed them here.”
"An armed team…killing people here?”Cai's eyes widened. "What armed forces? The army? Why would the army kill people for no reason? These people didn't show any signs of turning into zombies!？”
"Who should I ask?" Zhang Ying also felt a little scared and turned her head to say in a bitter voice. He had only heard that there was a troop stationed here, but didn't Du Yi's sister lead them to Jianning University? Then who was the one who created this massacre?
Little Tanuki, on the other hand, looked calm and collected. Nine-Tailed Fox had seen countless hellish battlefields in Ionia. She was completely indifferent to a small " graveyard " with hundreds of people.
"Ah!" Just as the few of them were in shock, a scream suddenly came from the toilet. It was the Department Belle's voice!
"What's wrong?" The few of them hurriedly ran towards the scene of the incident.
Lin Jian dragged a person with unkempt hair and dirty face out, followed by the panic-stricken department flower.
"Go to hell!" Zhang Ying quickly took out the Desert Star.
"Stop! Yingying, he's a living person!" Lin Jian reached out to stop her and pushed the person in his hand to the ground. "Speak! You're a grown man, what are you doing hiding in the ladies 'washroom! What happened here?"
This person was a young man in his late twenties. His slightly long hair was hanging messily on his head because he hadn't cleaned it for a few days, and his suit had several holes. Perhaps he was the owner of a luxury car before the zombies appeared, but now, he looked no different from a beggar in ragged clothes.
" Dead... haha... they're all dead... hahaha..." The young man in the suit had a crazy smile on his face as he kept repeating the same phrase.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Speak properly!" Zhang Ying strode up to him and asked sternly.
"Gun! A spear! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Hahaha…I don't want to die…Don't kill me!”Seemingly seeing the Star of the Desert in Zhang Ying's hand, the young man in the suit became agitated. His entire body trembled uncontrollably as he glared at Zhang Ying.
The little wild cat was scared by his crazy look and took a step back.
"Gun! Hahaha! You have a gun! Hahaha! I'll fight it out with you!" The young man in the suit suddenly roared and rushed toward Zhang Ying.
"Pa." Lao Cai slapped him so hard that he fell to the ground again.
" Wuwuwu…Please…Don't kill me…" The young man in the suit rolled on the ground in pain, sobbing helplessly.
"He's crazy." Lin Jian sighed.
Zhang Ying calmed herself down and told Lin Jian the conclusion she had reached earlier.
"This man kept shouting guns just now.”Lin Jian glanced at the young man. Cai had already found a rope and tied him to the pillar of the gas station. "Your judgment should be correct. It seems that this road will not be too peaceful. Perhaps there are really wandering troops or bandits killing people indiscriminately.”The uneasiness in Lin Jian's heart grew even stronger.
"Let's split up and see if there are any survivors. I keep feeling that the situation here is too strange.”The department belle said. Her expression had already recovered. Blood and death were the demons that she had to face in this chaotic world. She had to learn to face them. She had always been a strong girl.
"Alright, Nancy will come with me. Zhang Ying, you, Lao Cai, and Little Tanuki split up to see if there are still any living people."”Lin Jian nodded in agreement.
The result of the search was disappointing. It seemed that other than the young man in the suit, everyone else was dead.
"What should we do?" The department belle was a little distressed. The young man in the suit had obviously gone crazy. There was no way to get anything out of him.
"I have an idea!" Lin Jian rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
"You can communicate with Madman?" Zhang Ying said in surprise. "Amazing!"
"This isn't something worth showing off, right?!”Lin Jian's face darkened." How can I communicate with him!”
"Tsk, you still have to pretend to be capable. I thought you would conjure something strange again!”Zhang Ying tilted her head.
"Just because I can't do it doesn't mean that others can't.”Lin Jian turned to Little Tanuki and held her shoulders.""Our beautiful and smart Little Tanuki can make him tell the truth at any time, okay?”Little Tanuki nodded complacently and threw a provocative look at Zhang Ying.
"Her?" Zhang Ying snorted disdainfully. "With just her? How could a lunatic be charmed by her?”
"Captain, reward." Little Tanuki smiled and did not argue with Zhang Ying. Instead, she stretched her pretty face in front of Lin Jian.
Lin Jian scratched his head and looked at the department's flower in a 'comforting' manner. He then 'reluctantly' kissed Little Tanuki's delicate face.
"Lin Jian! You bitch!" The little wild cat was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Little Tanuki was like a child who had just gotten candy. She was so happy that her eyes narrowed. She walked up to the young man in the suit who was tied up. Her eyes suddenly turned pure white as she stretched out her jade-like hand and gently pressed it on his forehead. A pink light shone in her palm, and slowly pulled out a white ball of light from the young man's forehead.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! No! " Don't kill…No…" The young man's struggle became weaker and weaker, and he slowly lowered his head. Little Tanuki took out the Deception Pearl, waved her hand, and sent the white ball of light into the pearl. She sat down cross-legged and began to condense the Soul Essence. This was how the fox beauty used to steal soul essences.
"This vixen will eat you one day!”Zhang Ying wrinkled her nose at Lin Jian.
"Is he dead?" The department belle walked to Lin Jian's side and looked at the young man with pity.
"Even if he didn't die, he should have become an idiot.”Lin Jian shook his head. There was nothing he could do about it. Perhaps it was a form of release for him.
"Hehe, Boss, Little Tanuki is so powerful. Are you afraid?”Lao Cai looked at Little Tanuki, who had revealed all three fox tails, and quietly poked Lin Jian's waist.
"Humph, humph, your boss, I, am invincible. What's there to be afraid of? When we fought for 300 rounds…Ah!!--”How dare you question my ability! Lin Jian immediately retorted. As a result, the soft flesh on his waist was twisted 180 degrees by Zhang Ying and Zhao Qian.
Little Tanuki quickly finished absorbing the soul essence of the young man in the suit and slowly opened her eyes.
"How is it?" Everyone quickly surrounded him.
Little Tanuki shook her head." He's too weak. The energy of his soul essence is tiny to begin with, and he's been greatly stimulated. I can only extract incomplete memories from his soul essence.”
"Humph." "Didn't someone say that it's a piece of cake?" Zhang Ying snorted.”
" Alright, Yingying, stop fooling around." Lin Jian stopped Zhang Ying's provocation in a low voice and patted Little Tanuki's head. "Tell me?"
"Yes!" Little Tanuki's eyes curved into two crescent moons."According to his memory, this place should have been attacked by a group of terrifying monsters that are different from ordinary zombies. At that time, there were many people who had fled to the rest area to refuel. The zombies did not seem to have appeared here. Many people chose to rest here and continue moving forward. In the end, a group of zombies in green clothes appeared. There were about twenty of them. Not only were they strong, but they also carried guns. The unarmed people had no way to fight against them, and all of them died tragically here. He hid in the trash can in the toilet and escaped the disaster.”
"Ah? This guy was hiding in the trash can in the toilet?!!”Lin Jian and Jing Guo, who had just touched the young man, wailed. Zhao Qian and Zhang Ying quickly distanced themselves from them.
