CHAPTER 1241: CHAPTER 293: OFFICER HUANG: DO YOU TAKE ME FOR A BLIND MAN? (3)

And this process is painful.

...

In the wilderness.

The campfire blazed.

Ji Qiuyue, Pang Yuan, and Zhu Lei sat around, watching the pot cooking food.

"It’s been so long, Qiao Wei still hasn’t contacted us. Will he really choose to cooperate with us?" Pang Yuan asked. Ever since they left the settlement, they had been wandering outside, and everything was less important to Ji Qiuyue than encountering living survivors.

Ji Qiuyue said, "Don’t worry, if it were easy to find, we would have discovered the organization behind this long ago."

Pang Yuan nodded, "That’s true."

He looked at the desolate surroundings. Everything was too desolate. This is the destructive power of the apocalypse, which brings adverse effects to some ecosystems, but for certain environments, it has benefits. Nature will repair all, all it needs is time.

Zhu Lei listened quietly, not speaking. For him, being accepted might be his greatest fortune, because beside them, he could finally experience how comfortable it was to sleep peacefully.

Just then.

Ji Qiuyue’s expression tightened, "Be careful, there’s movement."

Immediately, Pang Yuan and Zhu Lei grew alert. They knew Ji Qiuyue’s hearing was very acute—often detecting dangers long before they did.

The sound of a car engine.

The roar of a motorcycle.

These two sounds came from afar. In a brief moment, the people in the cars and on the motorcycle also saw Ji Qiuyue and the others resting. Instead of changing direction, they drove towards them.

"Oh... look, there are still living people. Haha... let’s go have some fun with them."

"Damn, it’s hard to find living people these days."

"What are you saying? Aren’t we alive?"

"No, we are Mutants."

"Hahaha..."

They laughed wildly, not considering any issues. In their minds, as Mutants, they were the strong in this apocalypse. There was no one to fear.

"Mutants..."

Ji Qiuyue’s expression grew serious. She knew about the Mutants. Lin Fan had always been searching for the Mutant Organization, but its location was very secretive, known by very few.

"Old Pang, Old Zhu, prepare for battle. They’re not friendly." Ji Qiuyue reminded.

Pang Yuan said angrily, "Can’t even eat in peace, these guys are truly detestable."

He gripped a giant axe, ready at any moment. If they dared to make a move, he’d hack them to pieces with his axe.

Zhu Lei felt the same. He wouldn’t be afraid. He had long built up the courage inside his heart, just to avoid being underestimated by Ji Qiuyue and Pang Yuan.

Very soon.

Two cars and a motorcycle came to a stop.

A total of seven Mutants came out arrogantly.

Pang Yuan, with his sharp eyes, immediately saw a person tied with a rope behind one of the cars, who had been dragged along. Although the face was not visible, it was clear the person was a bloody mess, and nobody knew if they were still alive.

"Look over there..." Pang Yuan pointed.

Ji Qiuyue and Zhu Lei looked over, seeing the person being dragged.

Their expressions were very grave.

From this alone, it was obvious that these Mutants were not good people. They had long been corrupted by the apocalypse, becoming beasts in the darkness of the apocalypse.

A female Mutant sat on the car hood, chewing gum, looking playfully at the three survivors. She couldn’t help but laugh and speak to her companion.

"That woman annoys me, and what are they wearing? It looks so familiar, like I’ve seen it somewhere before."

As she said this.

The other six Mutants observed carefully.

Among them, a fat Mutant recalled something, his expression changing dramatically, exclaiming, "War Armor, I’ve seen this War Armor in the Zombie Album, provided by the Sunshine Shelter of Huang City. They are related to that place, they came from there."

Being Mutants, they naturally knew these things.

It’s even considered essential reading.

No matter who you are, someone must have told them that the most terrifying existence in this apocalypse is Lin Fan. His strength is unimaginable. If you encounter him, you might not even have a chance to escape.

Though this frustrates many newly powerful Mutants.

But since those who gave them power were so confident, they kept it in mind.

Suddenly.

The seven Mutants showed signs of retreat. Even the woman sitting on the car hood stood at the front, considering leaving; they did not want any ties with people from the Sunshine Shelter of Huang City.

Until one of the Mutants spoke, their intention to retreat slowly faded.

"What are you afraid of? It’s not Lin Fan who came, they’re just wearing War Armor. We are the powerful Mutants, aren’t we? How can we be so afraid just hearing about the Sunshine Shelter?"

As he said this.

Everyone exchanged glances.

"Yeah, he’s right. They are just wearing War Armor. And that guy isn’t even wearing it."

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, there’s nothing to fear."

"We’re seven, and they’re only three. How can we be scared?"

Suddenly, the seven Mutants grew arrogant again.

Ji Qiuyue stepped forward, pointing at the stranger they were dragging, "You’re humans. Even if you’ve become Mutants, how can you treat your fellow humans like this? The apocalypse is already a disaster, yet you choose to become agents of that disaster?"

She truly didn’t think that living humans, when tempted by power, could become so evil.

She knew many people would change.

But the change was so devoid of humanity.
