Living Dead's

Chapter 70 - Zombie Chimpanzee

Yang Ruisi stood still in place upright like a concrete wall. Behind him were Feifei and He Zhao, he could not move carelessly, or the damn chimpanzee zombies would turn around and target the two of them. The zombie turned around and lunged towards him, crashing into his chest. The air was blown away from him, Yang Ruisi did not manage to dodge it, she was sent flying backwards and crashed into the wall violently!

That powerful impact made Yang Ruisi's body slightly bounce off the wall. Out of guard, he coughed loudly and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Uncle Yang!" Faintly, he heard the two boys yell at him.

Ah... They'll both cry again...

Even Yang Ruisi felt amazed by herself who could still think that way in the midst of this life and death situation.

It took a few seconds before the stars in his eyes began to fade. Yang Ruisi struggled grabbing the pistol that was on her thigh, but suddenly above her head, the roar of the propeller approached quickly, and the sound of successive explosions from machine gun fire followed, following, shoot the chimpanzee zombie and send it flying.

He raised his head, and saw two large dark green helicopters hovering above him. Moments later, two people jumped down from the stairs.

"Damn it! Why did you become like this?!" Yang Ruisi laughed loudly when she heard Xi Zihe start nagging.

Xi Zihe pulled her and helped her to stand up. "It's like you won't die if you look at how much you laugh."

Yang Ruisi immediately grimaced in pain, "Aih. I felt so much pain that I felt like fainting."

Xi Zihe felt sad when he saw his usually reliable squad members become shabby like trash, and even struggled hard just to open his eyes.

On the other hand, Shen Yuan immediately hugged Feifei tightly. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"Only my arm was hurt..." Feifei said in a soft voice, "I'm fine, but uncle Yang... He was hurt protecting me, Dad."

Shen Yuan released her embrace, she glanced towards Yang Ruisi who looked extremely shabby as she was helped walking by Xi Zihe.

He Zhao also spoke to him at this moment, "Uncle Yang's left eye seemed to be seriously injured. Uncle Shen, can you cure him?"

Shen Yuan nodded, "I'll see how things go later."

"We'd better get out of here." While enduring the pain, Yang Ruisi tried hard to speak, "The chimpanzee zombie is no joke, she must not be dead yet. We better get going. I'll tell you the information later."

Xi Zihe nodded, he signaled to the helicopter with his hands.

The hatch opened violently and Yao Yue dropped her ladder, "Come on!"

"Roetry! Why do you look like a bum?!" Yao Yue asked loudly in the midst of the strong wind.

"One day I'll take all his rations..." Yang Ruisi swore as she slowly climbed the stairs, returning to where her comrades were with a smile.

***

Thirty minutes later in the helicopter cabin.

Yang Ruisi was sitting quietly on one of the chairs as Shen Yuan was bandaging the wound in her left eye with gauze. Yang Ruisi had more or less predicted the condition of her eyes, so when she heard directly from Shen Yuan's mouth that her left eye would no longer be usable, aka being blind, she did not react much.

The biggest reaction came from his other teammates and the two boys.

Xi Zihe looked out the window and occasionally there would be his voice cursing. Yao Yue just sat down and flew the helicopter in silence.

The special forces team members present on this helicopter were only Xi Zihe and Yao Yue. While Wen Fan, Li Yan and Lu Lin were in the other helicopter. Yang Ruisi thought, if the three of them were also here, they would definitely show the same expression.

"Oh come! It's just one eye! This graveyard-like atmosphere doesn't suit you guys, okay?!" Yang Ruisi could not bear this suffocating atmosphere and finally subconsciously began to shout. "Captain Xi! Shouldn't you be listening to my report first?!"

Xi Zihe twisted his body and finally actually saw it. He opened his mouth, "Say."

Yang Ruisi spoke lightly, "That's a chimpanzee."

Yao Yue was very surprised, he lightly screeched, "King Kong?! Will Godzilla appear?!"

Yang Ruisi let out a tired breath, "It's a chimpanzee, not a gorilla, okay?"

Xi Zihe was filled with doubt. "How is it possible? It's obviously infected."

Although he only caught a glimpse, Xi Zihe was convinced that the chimpanzee was already infected when viewed from its rotting body, its falling fur, and its characteristic, terrible smell like zombies.

Everyone was in disbelief, and a terrifying guess appeared in their minds at the same time.

"If the zombie virus has already infected the animals..." Xi Zihe muttered, "No, it shouldn't be. We haven't seen any other animals infected along the way. Rats, insects, chickens, cats, dogs... They've all instinctively avoided zombies, and we've never heard of zombie animal attacks either."

Yao Yue's forehead wrinkled tightly, "Also, how could a virus cause the subject to become King Kong? Could the virus have caused the entire body to mutate its shape? No, it's not possible. Mutations don't work that way."

"Roemission, are you sure you saw it right? Is that really a chimpanzee?"

He Zhao who had been silent, opened his mouth at this moment. "it really is a chimpanzee. We both saw it clearly. Isn't that right, Feifei?"

Beside him, Feifei nodded loudly.

Yang Ruisi muttered indistinctly. "Chimpanzees have a very high percentage of similarities to human DNA, perhaps, this is related to viral infections..."

Just as everyone was discussing and speculating, Shen Yuan suddenly opened his mouth, "Experiment."

Xi Zihe reflexively turned his head towards him, he could vaguely guess the path of Shen Yuan's mind.

The Ruisi asked, "Experiment? You mean there's someone else who deliberately makes chimpanzees like that?"

Yang Ruisi also felt that it seemed to make sense...

Shen Yuan nodded, "It looks like someone is researching an antiviral vaccine, using chimpanzees that have the most similar percentage of DNA to humans as test subjects. In the end, the research failed and the virus mutated..."

After listening to Shen Yuan's explanation, Xi Zihe secretly squeezed out a piece of letter paper that was in his pants pocket.

...Luckily, we still managed to evacuate doctor Guo Bai out of this barrack....

...He is the only hope of mankind....

The words written on the piece of paper again appeared on Xi Zihe's head. Vaguely Xi Zihe could guess what was happening in this city.

As the city is ravaged by a virus, Guo Bai comes out and introduces himself as a scientist researching the virus. Using animals as test subjects, he convinced everyone that he was able to create an antiviral vaccine for the virus. In the end, his experiments failed and made the military barracks become like that...

Within Xi Zihe was raging by the flames of anger.
