Ch 131. Crawlers

A crowded area where many noisy discussions are going on and one or two remarks can be easily heard from time to time.

Yao frowned slightly. Sure enough, when there are too many people, the management becomes really hard. The shortcomings of the loose system implemented by the Yukinoshita Camp is vividly reflected in this situation.

Coupled with the protection of hazy fog, it is very unrealistic to catch the perpetrators. After all, the effective visual range of most people is only more than ten meters.

Even in a medium-sized camp where a large number of humans live, this fog has only faded a little, and the overall situation has not changed much.

Seeing that the situation was gradually developing in an uncontrollable direction, Yao was about to take action when three "bang bang bang" gunshots sounded next to him, and the noisy discussions around him stopped abruptly.

"You've just arrived at the camp, so it's better not to be so ostentatious." Yoshino said lightly, while striding forward with a pistol in hand.

"Did you grow up eating dry food?"

Under Yao's gaze, she walked up to the patrolling guards and scolded unceremoniously: "Is the gun in your hand a decoration? What do we pay you guys for?"

"It's still this kind of temper." Yao smiled lightly, and didn't pay much attention to the crowd scattered by the gunshots. After all, this is a matter of the Yukinoshita camp, and it had nothing to do with him for the time being.

He went straight to the lifeless corpse lying on the ground, and looked at it carefully.

There's a bloody hole on the corpse forhead, probably from a gunshot.

After a while, he noticed two things that were wrong.

1. There is no wound on the corpse body.

2. The degree of zombification is very deep.

Seeing the corpse's ten claws that were already dark black, Yao frowned deeply.

"How is it?" Haruno came over and asked, "Did you find anything wrong?"

"Yeah." Yao pointed down with his hand, "Generally speaking, the power of newborn zombies should not be too high, but this one seems to have reached the level of mutation."

"Then how did it happen."

"It's not clear, but it shouldn't be because of a wound Or something."

Yao stood up and looked at the few guards who remained around, "Where are the other infected people?"

As soon as the voice fell, several guards looked at each other, and then one of them stood up and replied:

"No other resident were hurt."

Hearing this sentence, not only Yao, but Haruno also subconsciously frowned.

"Are you sure this guy didn't hurt anyone at that time?" Her expression became stern, and she pointed to the corpse on the ground.

The fresh blood on the corpse's claws definitely came from a human bring.

"This... because of the long-term foggy weather, the injured may have hid and left early."

These guards obviously also noticed their negligence, and their faces gradually turned livid.

Trash!

Haruno cursed in her heart, she looked at them coldly, and planned to kick them out of the patrol team after this matter is solved.

"You go to find more people first, and use proper methods to check all residents one by one." Yao said lightly.

It's no wonder that Haruno is so angry. Every additional unknown infected person in this closed camp will be a painful blow to it's overall population.

"Lets go!"

Hearing his words, several guards seemed to suddenly wake up, and quickly ran away from the place.

Although it is a remedy after the dead, if they don't do something, they don't even need to be punished by the upper level. They will probably be thrown into the zombie tide at the foot of the mountain by the angry residents to vent their anger.

"It's too late now." Yao couldn't help shaking his head.

From what he guessed, the Yukinoshita camp should be already in a chaos now.

Residents without combat experience, even if their physique has been strengthened by the blood rain, are still lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

After all, it's not just humans that are evolving, zombies are also not what they were in the beginning.

"What are we doing to do now?"

As long as this captain is by his side, Haruno will always subconsciously give up thinking by herself and rely on him.

"Go and find 'it'."

"it...?"

Yao didn't answer, but turned around and walked quickly towards the dense forest to the left.

Haruno was surprised but immediately followed him suppressing the doubts in her heart.

"You mean zombies?"

"There is a high wall behind the forest, even mutants would never be able to climb up."

Seeing the blade emerging in his hand, Haruno couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Don't make noise."

Yao's expression was indifferent listening to the "rustling" in his ears.

As the sound disappeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

"Crack!"

The sound of branches breaking sounded, and a creature with thick limbs suddenly jumped out of the tree, aiming at Yao's head with its claws.

The corners of Yao's mouth rose slightly, outlining a sarcastic arc.

Just as the claws were about to touch the back of his head, he suddenly ducked his head sideways to dodge the fatal blow, while raising the blade in his hand.

"Zi..."

Following the vigorous slashing, the head of the mutated zombie rolled to the ground, and at the same time, the body lost control of the brain, rolled forward unstoppably for a few meters, and then stopped, leaving only the headless neck still spraying dark red blood strains.

"Did you discover it early?"

Haruno's eyes were fixed, she had never seen this kind of zombie before.

"Um."

Yao flicked the blade, and the blood splashed in all directions was thrown on Haruno's calf, causing her to cast a look full of resentment.

"When did you find out?"

"When I first came here, I subconsciously felt someone looking at me with malice, like a prey. I just didn't expect that there would be crawlers here in Chiba, and it's different from the one in Tokyo."

"Why didn't I feel it... Forget it, the crawler should be the licker in the resident evil, right? In this case, the high wall is nothing but a decoration, it's really annoying!!!"

"Roughly the same."

Seeing her fall headlong into his arms, Yao was a little speechless, if you are annoyed, what kind of brain circuit is it that you take the initiative to throw yourself into my arms?

After wiping the blood off her legs with a handkerchief, Haruno let go with a smile, and took out the  QBZ rifle from the team space.

"Then let's quickly clean up these annoying things, and then go to the front line to see the situation."

She doesn't look like a innocent girl at all, but when it comes to this kind of fighting and killing, she becomes energetic, like a child who found a toy.

Of course... She's also very energetic when doing H stuff.

Yao chuckled and followed her.

As the moonlight gradually dimmed, the mist that permeated the air intensified a bit.

Zombies, darkness, fog, obstructed vision...

All kinds of factors add up to make the camp that doesn't have much light at night even more eerie.
