CHAPTER 416: CHAPTER 416: ENCOUNTERING A ZOMBIE LEADER

The rest of the journey was uneventful with only a few zombies running after the cars but Chu Miao didn’t care about them.

If those zombies were as smart as the ones they had just met, they wouldn’t keep running after a vehicle that they so obviously couldn’t catch.

So, she didn’t bother with them and concentrated on driving.

However, she was still thinking about that zombie that had escaped. It was too intelligent. If not for the rotting flesh on its body, she wouldn’t have believed that it was a dead walking.

Especially since it even had clean and untattered clothes.

For some reason, it gave her a familiar feeling. She had had that feeling before and was trying to remember where she felt it, when it suddenly hit her.

It was actually two times, and not once that she had that feeling.

The first time was when she went to collect supplies in the small district she had found the mutated maggots.

She had experienced that feeling when they were killing those huge mutated fish.

The second time was when she and Ye Xuan were on their way to meet Qi Long and his group of soldiers.

Both times it seemed that the feeling had disappeared after she discovered it and started to look around.

Now it seemed that it was this zombie controlling the mutated fish that had attacked them those two times.

At that time, it was probably still learning how to control others and was practicing on fish. Now that it had mastered the art, it had brought two hundred zombies to hunt and controlled them.

Or, it could be said that it was like a commander leading soldiers to ambush the enemy.

It also seemed to have selected zombies that seemed to have recovered a little of the human intelligence and were strong too.

The zombie was obviously cunning and it won’t be caught so easily. Thus, it was important to go back and inform the other leaders to step up their training plans and also speed up the remodeling of the bunker in the mountain.

"You seem distracted, did something happen?" Feng Tu asked when she noticed that her friend had gone too quiet.

"I am just thinking about those zombies. What has made them evolve so much? Why are they so much stronger than before?" Chu Miao had been in the ancient battlefield for the last month and hadn’t gone out to hunt zombies for a long time, thus, she hadn’t expected such big changes.

"The change was actually quite gradual. It was difficult to detect. If not for you mentioning it, it wouldn’t have been easy to detect." Feng Tu went out often because unlike the people in the Garden community, they didn’t have a space ring or a space-type superpower user to carry many supplies at once.

Moreover, supplies were becoming scarce and they have to search more remote areas and the things they find aren’t that much.

Therefore, she would go hunting at least three times a week, which made it difficult for her to notice how the zombies had changed.

However, even so, she still felt some strain when killing zombies this time. She had not understood why it was like that and had associated it with her excitement.

Nevertheless, she could now understand that it wasn’t excitement but the reality of the situation.

The zombies were now stronger and smarter than before.

However, she had grown a strong heart over the last few months and was no longer the timid girl who would cower at the slightest threat.

"Do you have an idea of how to deal with the situation in mind?" Feng Tu asked with a frown in her face as she looked outside as if to observe the behavior of the few zombies around them.

She had noticed that the closer they got to the Garden community, the fewer the zombies spotted.

By the time they were about five hundred meters from the gate of the community, there wasn’t a single zombie in sight.

She thought that her friend had not been kidding. This place was safer than a regular safe base or even the place they had lived before.

The other people in the bus had also noticed this phenomenon and were overjoyed.

They couldn’t believe that there was a place that was so free of zombies.

When one of Feng Tu’s teammates heard the people in the bus discussing how that place was so good that it was free of zombies, he decided to enlighten them.

"This place didn’t become free of zombies by itself. People must clear them everyday for there to be such a big area without a single zombie.

So, don’t take it for granted. There are people risking their lives to make sure this place is safe.

Even though Chu Miao hadn’t told them where they were going, seeing that she was slowing down, he could judge that they had arrived and this place that was free of zombies was part of their territory.

The others inside the bus who had been exclaiming at the marvel of having a zone free of zombies quietened down.

Indeed, how could there be a place in this world that was free of zombies? Especially a place that had been populated before the disaster struck?

It was obviously illogical. So, that person’s explanation was true.

As they were accepting this truth, the car at the front came to a stop in front of a large ruin.

There wasn’t an intact building in that place. They were all in ruin with overgrown grass and vines growing all over the place and even climbing over the walls.

This didn’t look like a place that anyone could live and they were surprised that Chu Miao would bring them to such a place.

They even became more wary when they saw her get down from her car and it disappeared with a wave of her hand.

The people inside the bus were so scared that they began to shake from fear.
