The two of them ran at a rapid pace, with one person leaping onto the second floor by stepping on the roof of a car.
After all, standing on the car roof was also unsafe.
If that person who climbed up to the second floor encountered zombies, then that person would be like a lamb entering a wolf's den.
Yu Qingxian stood on the top of the building, wanting to see how the remaining person would escape.
She saw that young man quickly take something out of the small bag at his waist and throw it behind him.
Immediately, there was a loud booming sound, and the bodies of the zombies were instantly blown away.
The thunderous sound carried far.
In this clean city, it sounded unusually loud.
Especially for Yu Qingxian, whose hearing was now very keen.
So this explosion sounded as if it had detonated right at her forehead.
Indeed, having such good hearing was not necessarily a good thing.
Yu Qingxian did not move, but watched the two people escape.
Those who were pushed out as bait should not be completely incompetent, right?
After all, if they were very incompetent, these two people would have been caught and eaten by the zombies as soon as they came downstairs.
They would have been useless right at the entrance.
So those who could serve as bait must either be fast runners or have some skills.
It was apparent that the two people Yu Qingxian saw were indeed skilled.
The only question was whether the car that had already driven away would come back for them.
Yu Qingxian turned her head to look at the distant street, where a group of zombies was running over. She felt that was probably impossible.
If they had already used living people as bait against a few hundred zombies,
it would certainly be inappropriate for the entire squad to risk falling into danger again for the sake of this bait.
In other words, these two people had definitely been abandoned.
Yu Qingxian turned and walked towards the rooms on the other side of the building, confirming that the zombies had also gathered on that side.
Even the zombies on her own floor were becoming agitated.
When Yu Qingxian returned to the window where she had been watching the spectacle, she found that the two people were gone.
But she could still smell two scents.
It meant that the two were still alive and had not left a certain range.
However, the scents of the two squad members were no longer present.
In other words, they were at least one or two kilometers away from Yu Qingxian.
It would probably be very difficult for them to circle back.
Yu Qingxian waited about ten minutes in the room, but the two squad members did not return.
Of course, the two baits had survived.
It was just that the ground floor was packed with zombies.
Yu Qingxian did not dare go downstairs, fearing that she would be trampled by the zombies if she went in.
Although Yu Qingxian was not short, she was of a slender build and essentially a shut-in. If she really had to push through those zombies, she definitely would not be able to overpower them.
Yu Qingxian went down to the first floor, and seeing the zombies outside the door, she turned and headed in another direction.
There were not many zombies on the back street, so Yu Qingxian opened the window and climbed out.
Those two baits seemed to have found a safe place to hide temporarily.
The scents were stable, indicating that the two were not moving.
But then again, how could they dare to move?
Downstairs was full of zombies.
But Yu Qingxian did not care at all.
She walked back through the back alley to where she had left her luggage.
In fact, it was not far from that street.
Just a few hundred meters away.
But because it was a blind spot, and a small alley, there were not a few zombies, so humans would not easily venture into such places.
Yu Qingxian sat on her luggage and pondered.
The main issue was that she could not speak human language; otherwise, she could have rescued those two people and extracted information from them.
For example, whether the official large base had been built or not.
The land of China is vast, and she felt that building only five bases would certainly not be enough.
At least more than five would be needed.
So Yu Qingxian had to find out the locations of these bases.
The more Abnormals there were, the larger the range of human activity would be.
In the early stages of the apocalypse, she had encountered so many survivors, but once humans gradually became capable of facing zombies, she would not be able to act recklessly anymore.
She could not level up, nor could she gradually take on a human appearance like Shi Xingyu.
Even if she covered the wounds on her face, she would instantly be recognized as a zombie.
Yu Qingxian felt it would be rather difficult to find that mother and daughter, even though she could ask them and they might tell her.
But the risk would be greater than if she went to find them herself.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingxian thought about it and decided against it.
After all, they were members of an Abnormal combat squad, skilled at killing zombies.
If she approached them, she would certainly be shot at.
Forget it, forget it.
She would just continue on her way.
On the other side,
the two young men were hiding in a room.
Looking at the dense crowd of zombies downstairs, they fell silent.
It was to be expected that they would be used as bait.
After all, they were the original squad leader's men, so the deputy squad leader would certainly not let them live.
But they had to stay alive, for they still needed to find their squad leader.
They did not believe that their squad leader was already dead.
Just as the two were pondering how to escape from the surrounding zombies,
they heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the alley next door.
But considering the time, it was just the Lantern Festival today.
However, this was the apocalypse, so how could anyone be setting off firecrackers in the middle of the night?
Yet when the zombies heard the firecrackers,
they headed towards the sound.
However, the sound of one string of firecrackers could not last very long.
Therefore, before the first string of firecrackers finished, the zombies had not completely dispersed.
But at that moment, a second string of firecrackers went off.
There were even fireworks.
This stunned the two young men.
In the apocalypse, there was actually someone who was not afraid of death.
Just who was the celestial being setting off firecrackers and fireworks?
Meanwhile, the one being treated as a celestial being, Yu Qingxian, looked at the fireworks she had lit and found them very beautiful.
When she saw those zombies turning from the side of the road, she happily said, "Happy New Year, everyone! Although it may have been last month when New Year's was celebrated."
The zombies came towards the fireworks, but seeing that there was only one zombie here, they no longer advanced further.
They simply stood in rows on the street, watching Yu Qingxian set off fireworks.
From the scent, she could sense that the two baits had moved.
It seemed the zombies had all been lured over by her.
Yu Qingxian took out a few strings of electronic firecrackers from the cardboard boxes behind her and hung them on a few zombies.
After turning on the switch, Yu Qingxian pulled her luggage and left.
The few zombies with firecrackers hung on them were instantly engulfed by the other zombies.
Yu Qingxian felt a bit embarrassed, but still left with her luggage in tow.
She had lured the zombies away so that the two baits could find a way to escape.
As for whether they could actually get away or not, that was no longer something she could manage.
However, Yu Qingxian never expected that the two baits would actually take a big detour and circle around to the place where she had set off firecrackers and fireworks.
Yu Qingxian could see it clearly from the floor above.
The two young men's silhouettes were sneaking around, as if searching for someone.
Yu Qingxian watched for a few minutes before realizing that these two baits were looking for her.
But why? They should have just run away after being rescued!
Why were they coming to find her?
Yu Qingxian felt that she had already rescued them, so if they did not want to escape but instead wanted to join in the excitement and fall into danger again,
she would definitely not intervene anymore.
She had previously helped humans, so this time she could not prevent the zombies from feeding.
She was very fair.
However, Yu Qingxian watched the two for a while and noticed that their movements were very agile.
They clearly were not ordinary people.
Even if they had not awakened Abnormal abilities, their martial arts skills were definitely not lacking.
For them, leaping across rooftops was as simple as hopping over a small ditch.
With such talents, they surely would not have volunteered to be used as bait, would they?
