The frightened screams pierced the silent night sky, breaking the quiet and peaceful night of the village.
The guards at the four corners took out their weapons and looked towards the screaming position in the stockade.
This scream woke up the entire village. Xuxu's house was the first to light up the candles. The candlelight gradually increased and connected bit by bit. Soon the entire village was lit up and they woke up to see what happened.
A man covered in blood rushed out of the house, shouting: "There are zombies! Zombies are eating people!"
Everyone who heard what he said clearly was in an uproar.
"What? Why are there zombies in the village?"
"What are the guards doing? Why did they let zombies in?"
The man ran for two steps, fell down due to exhaustion, and stretched his arms forward: "Help, help..."
"Roar——" A figure covered in blood ran out of the man's house, yelled at everyone, and then rushed toward the crowd!
"Ah!!! It's a zombie! Zombies eat people!"
"It's a big bear! How could a big bear turn into a zombie?!"
"Run! There are zombies in the village!"
Those who reacted quickly turned around and ran away, while those who did not react quickly were knocked down by the giant bear that had turned into a zombie, biting and screaming violently.
The man covered in blood who was bitten by the big bear just now slowly stood up, turned into a zombie, and also pounced on the panicked villagers.
"Don't panic! Everyone go to the south gate!" Liu Qingfeng shouted to direct the crowd.
Xuxu shouted: "You go and stop the zombies, and I'll evacuate the crowd!"
Liu Qingfeng nodded and left quickly.
Xuxu shouted: "All people with abilities, go and stop the zombies! We can't let them continue to bite people. If this continues, there will only be more and more zombies! Go!"
The ability users responded to the call and all followed Liu Qingfeng towards the direction where the zombies caused the commotion.
Under the command of Xuxu, the crowd fled in the opposite direction, and all gathered at the south gate. Everyone went outside the stockade, closed the door, and waited anxiously for the situation inside the stockade through a door.
Xuxu was not idle here either. She scanned the crowd carefully and saw everyone's panic expressions. She said loudly, "Don't be afraid, everyone. We are safe here, but there is one thing that requires everyone to cooperate with me."
She said, carefully observing the expressions of everyone in the crowd, and said in a soft voice: "I hope everyone will not hide it, so I want to ask, is anyone injured?"
The crowd immediately fell silent. After realizing the meaning of her words, they looked at the people around them with suspicion and wariness.
Xuxu was still doing soothing work: "Don't be afraid of the injured. We won't hurt you. We will give you food and water, and then give you a room. If your injury is okay, you can still go back." Go to your own home."
Except for the faint roars of zombies and the shouts of ability users coming from the village, the crowd here was silent and no one spoke.
Suddenly someone pointed at the person beside him and shouted: "She! She is injured! Her pants are torn and there is blood on them!"
The people around the woman shouted and dispersed, fearing that they would be bitten if they left late.
The woman who was pointed out immediately panicked and cried: "I didn't! I wasn't bitten! I just accidentally fell down when I was running away! I really wasn't bitten..."
"Who are you kidding? With such thick clothes, you can see blood if you fall!" The man yelled in retort.
Everyone's attention turned to her legs. There were indeed signs of tears on her pants, as well as a blood stain.
Xuxu stepped forward and gently comforted her: "Don't be afraid, can I check it for you?"
The woman choked and nodded.
Xuxu pushed aside the rupture in her pants. The innermost layer of her pants was dirty and caked with mud, but the pants were intact and unbroken. To be on the safe side, she rolled up the woman's trouser legs. The legs were smooth and had no scars.
She stood up and said to everyone: "The outer layer of the pants is scratched, but the inner part is intact. There are no scars on the skin. The blood stains should be from falling or being contaminated elsewhere."
Only then did everyone feel relieved.
Xuxu suggested: "Perhaps please check each other's bodies for injuries. We have no way of knowing why there are zombies in the village for the time being, but now we must first eliminate the possibility of becoming zombies among our own people."
Everyone didn't want something like this to happen again. It would be good for everyone to check each other, so they agreed and began to move closer in pairs to check for any injuries.
Xuxu looked worriedly towards the village, where Liu Qingfeng and other ability users were dealing with zombies.
While people were checking each other, she climbed onto the guard tower at the south gate. The guard saw her coming up and reported to her: "The zombies have been dealt with."
Xuxu breathed a sigh of relief, and just when he was about to say that's fine, the crowd under the tower was in an uproar, and a woman screamed: "You've been bitten!"
Her heart suddenly hung in the air, and she looked down. She happened to be the woman who had been examined by her just now, pointing at the man who reported her before and yelling.
The man looked fierce: "Fart! This is also a scratch!"
As he spoke, he hid his hands in his sleeves.
But everyone could see clearly that the bloody tooth mark on his wrist was obviously a bite.
The woman angrily yelled: "You have no moral character! You were bitten and hid it, and you stuck your blood on me to frame me?! What do you want to do by hiding in the crowd with this injury? You want to kill everyone Kill him?"
The other people around him stayed away from the man, and their condemning and blaming eyes fell on the man.
Someone in the crowd echoed: "Yes, Xuxu said that he would not kill the injured, give you good food and drink, and let you live in a separate room..."
The man interrupted and roared: "You damn boy, it doesn't hurt to stand and talk! This treatment is so good, here it is for you, do you want it?!"
The man shrank his neck when he was yelled at, and muttered: "It's not me who was bitten, and it's not me who bit you. Why am I so cruel..."
The man glared fiercely and glanced fiercely at the crowd in front of him. Everyone became timid and did not dare to look at him.
Xuxu jumped down from the sentry tower, landed lightly, and stood in front of the man.
The man directed his hateful gaze at her.
Xuxu's face was filled with heartache and compassion: "You choose for yourself, whether you want to leave by yourself, or you need me to help you have a good time."
The man was panting violently like an angry bullfight. The bitten arm couldn't help shaking, and the blood couldn't stop dripping, hitting the white snow at his feet.
The cold wind howled, and no one in the crowd dared to speak.
For a long time, the man's bloodshot eyes looked around at everyone, and said viciously: "I worked hard for you, so this is how you treat me, right? When I turn into a zombie, I will definitely come back and bite you all to death!"
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he turned around and ran away.
A spear pierced the night and struck the fleeing man in the back of the heart!
