“These zombies are still at level one. As long as you don’t get surrounded by a mass of them, you can swiftly escape,” Qiao Mu stated with a calm expression. “They are boundlessly strong and will try to squeeze someone to death when they catch someone.”
“People who are squeezed to death by a level one zombie have a large chance of mutating into a zombie,” Qiao Mu quietly continued explaining. “However, as long as the person retains one last gasp of breath, they won’t mutate. These zombies at the lowest level actually don’t have that much attack power, but we can’t stop them from gathering and mass attacking, so fleeing and avoiding them is the best strategy.”
Wei Ziqin and Qiao Hu nodded frantically as they listened.
Currently, the carriage had reached the entrance and had pulled a great distance between it and the majority of the villagers.
As they were about to leave the village, two voices suddenly exclaimed in surprise and joy from the side, “Oh, Eldest Child, Second Child, quickly save your mother!”
“Eldest Brother, Second Brother!!!” Qiao Wenjuan sharply screamed, nearly crying from extreme happiness.
Currently, Qiao Wenjuan was in an exceptionally sorry state. Her hair was falling in disarray, and her face was pale. Not only were there deep red handprints on her neck, but her clothes were also soaking wet from the rain, so dirty that the color could not be differentiated, as though she had been rolling around on the wet ground.
Without waiting for Qiao Zhongxing to react, Qiao Zhongbang jumped off his horse, supported his mother, and pulled his sister as he quickly said, “Mother, Sister, hurry and get on the carriage. Let’s quickly leave.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Elderly Lady Qiao falteringly nodded her head, tears smeared across her face.
This had to be be a late onset of disaster for her!
If she had not been unable to sleep all night because she was so angered by that d*mn girl, Qiao Mu, and hastily gotten up and escaped with her daughter in tow as soon as she heard the motion, then she would have probably died at the hands of those monsters!
Qiao Wenjuan also felt like she was extremely unfortunate. Having lived fortably for almost 20 years, when had she suffered like this?
It was an urgent situation right now, so without Second Brother’s urging, she quickly helped their mother get on the carriage with Eldest Brother before following after.
The moment Qiao Wenjuan got on the carriage, she looked up and saw the broken roof with a giant hole and screeched, “This carriage’s roof is broken! How can people sit in it?”
Qiao Mu was holding Xiao Lin’er while Qiao Hu was tightly pressed to Wei Ziqin’s side. The four of them had taken over the most advantageous spots in the carriage.
When the mother and daughter pair entered the carriage, the originally mediocre-sized carriage became more tightly packed. Only one person could sit by the carriage door while the other person must sit in the center, forced to endure the rain.
The rain outside did not lessen in the slightest, so it was like water was being dumped into the carriage. Sitting in the center of the carriage was the same as sitting under the open sky. The whooshing wind and the torrenting rain—just the mere thought was miserable…
Qiao Zhongbang wore an embarrassed expression and covertly peered at his eldest daughter’s icy expression. How could he dare tell them to move? Hence, he pressed, “Little Sister, hurry and sit. We must hasten on.”
Qiao Wenjuan was livid with fury. Seeing that Eldest Brother did not make Eldest Sister-in-Law and the others move, she could merely sit down in a puff of anger. As the rain drenched her, she could feel the world’s deep malice toward her.
Qiao Mu pulled the quilt around Xiao Lin’er more closely together to block the wind and glanced at her aunt without any warmth in her eyes. She nonchalantly piped up, “Please move your bottom and don’t block the hole on the floor. After all, it’s raining on top, and it must leak below as well. Otherwise, the carriage will turn into a river real soon!”
Hearing this, Qiao Zhongxing, who was holding the reins, felt his face lightly twitch. He had a feeling that this dangerous situation was an unsuitable time for him to laugh. “But Qiaoqiao, when you speak these teasing words in a serious tone with your stoic face, are you sure you didn’t e here to be ic relief?”
