"Miss, don't block his way. Hurry up and end her misery. It's not like she can get any treatment anyway. Are we supposed to watch as she bleeds to death?" said an old granny. She sighed and turned her head around, unwilling to look at the depressing sight.
The scene could easily make anyone feel uncomfortable.
Many people did not have the heart to face the bleak reality.
Li Ran was briefly distracted and the man quickly threw the woman towards the zombies.
However, he did not instantly run away. Instead, he crouched nearby, as if he was ready to do something.
Sure enough, the zombies smelt the blood and rushed over.
They surrounded the woman and began tearing her from limb to limb.
It was horrifying.
The woman's weak screams were heard.
However, after a short while, it fell silent.
She had died.
The man saw this as an opportunity and quickly rushed towards a zombie that was carrying a bag of supplies.
So that was his purpose.
The woman was a sacrificial lamb.
Other people were envious. They saw the man succeed and wanted to rush in too. The soldiers tried to stop them but to no avail.
If they slowed down, the supplies would be snatched away by others.
There were only about ten to twenty bags.
The crowd became more chaotic than ever.
Everybody wanted to get their hands on the bags of supplies. It was as if they had gone insane.
In order to survive, morals were discarded.
As long as they could get food, nothing else mattered.
Li Ran snuck away from the deranged crowd. She headed towards the direction where the zombies came from.
Of course, there were doubts in her heart. After all, she was pregnant. Her recklessness could easily bring her harm.
However, there was something that she had to find out no matter what.
'Why were there bags of supplies tied to the zombies?
'Who could have performed such a feat?
'It would have been extremely dangerous to approach the zombies.
'Did they have some kind of power to control the zombies?'
Li Ran did not know the answers but if such a person existed, she wanted to be their ally.
There was an area where lots of wood was piled up. A tall tree full of branches and leaves was nearby. Under the sunlight, it cast a large shadow. Behind the tree was a small entrance that led outside. It could easily be missed.
Li Ran took a good look through the entrance and it seemed that there was no danger.
She was not afraid of encountering zombies, but more of unpredictable accidents.
Then, she narrowed her eyes and found out that zombies were falling from the sky.
Some of them fell on their heads and instantly died. There were several zombie corpses around the place.
Li Ran kept quiet and raised her head to look at the sky.
'This made no sense. '
The wall was a little bit up ahead. It was at least three meters tall and Li Ran had no way of getting over it.
'There's no way I can figure out what's going on outside. '
She needed to head back. The plan should be arriving soon. If she wanted to find answers, she would need to leave the safety base first.
Li Ran only took a couple of steps back when she realized that the zombies had already mixed into the crowd.
There were no mistakes!
The formation of the soldiers had also been broken. They could not kill the zombies efficiently.
Li Ran quickly found a hiding spot for herself. It was behind a few large pieces of wood. Through the crack, she could see everything that was happening. It felt so unreal.
She never thought that things would turn out this way.
Loud screams were coming from all directions.
The civilians were hysterical.
