Chapter 434: Chapter 434

On the evening Ding Fan and his group killed the zombies, Li Jianfeng had already been notified that zombies had been discovered in Xingcheng.

Only when Li Jianfeng learned that all the zombies had been killed did he finally take a long breath of relief.

Li Jianfeng had heard about zombies before; he knew their corpse poison was extremely vicious and spread at an alarmingly rapid pace. During his time serving under Elder Mu, he had heard about a small town where a zombie appeared, and later, tens of thousands in the town were infected by the corpse poison, turning the entire place into a land of zombies.

It was only after the army and rocket launchers were deployed, with a thunderous force, that the entire town was razed to the ground, stopping the spread of the corpse poison.

Li Jianfeng had never expected that zombies would be found in Xingcheng under his governance. If the situation was not controlled, it could have led to a calamity for the city of nearly a million people.

If the zombie incident had been real, his political career would have been over. At this time, Li Jianfeng was actually relieved that the police had discovered it in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

But just as Li Jianfeng quietly sighed in relief, bad news quickly arrived: the officers involved in killing the zombies were showing symptoms of high fever, and later, one of them started to act crazily and bit others. Upon examination, that officer had turned into a zombie.

Upon learning this, Li Jianfeng quickly gathered all the officers who had participated in killing the zombies together.

But the situation was still rather tricky, as one of the officers who had been involved in killing the zombies had not been found or contacted.

Li Jianfeng was really anxious now; if the missing officer wasn't found soon, the zombie virus could continue to spread and Xingcheng would truly be in danger.

At that point, having such a significant incident occur under his rule would likely mean more than just dismissal from his position...

Finding that officer was certainly urgent, but there was also another pressing issue: what to do about the officers who had been infected with the corpse poison.

How could the families of these officers agree to such a thing? After all, these officers were their loved ones. If he really did that, he would probably have a lot of media questioning to deal with...

Because the situation was so critical, Li Jianfeng immediately locked down the entire city. For the moment, controlling the situation and preventing it from worsening was the priority.

After Ding Fan and Mu Zi killed the zombies, they went straight back to the hotel.

Li Qishan's engagement had been canceled, and Mu Zi had already visited Mayor Li Jianfeng, so the two had discussed returning to Yanjing the next day if nothing else came up.

Because they planned on returning to Yanjing the next day, both decided to rest early.

But at that moment, a series of shocked cries suddenly came from the hotel corridor, followed by noisy commotion.

Ding Fan was startled and reached out with his Divine Sense.

As his Divine Sense reached out, he was taken aback; inside the third floor, a zombie was chasing the people in the corridor.

When Ding Fan came out from the sewer, he had checked with his Divine Sense and was sure there were no more zombies before he left.

So why were there zombies again now? Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁

At that moment, Ding Fan suddenly remembered something. Those police officers who had killed zombies had been hit by the green aura sprayed out by one...

That green aura was the lethal corpse poison. After killing the zombies, Ding Fan had left a prescription for the officers.

Thinking about it now, it was very likely that those officers had not used the prescription Ding Fan had given them.

"Brother Fan, what's happening?" Mu Zi, who had obviously heard the noise outside, looked at Ding Fan nervously.

"Zombies," said Ding Fan flatly.

"Zombies?" Mu Zi's face grew tense.

The infection of corpse poison spread very quickly; anyone infected would turn into a zombie. If they didn't deal with these zombies now, Xingcheng could become a dead city.

Ding Fan and Mu Zi did not delay and immediately rushed out of their room.

The inside was already in chaos.

The people had only seen such scenes on television and in movies; they had never encountered zombies in real life. Therefore, for a time, everyone in the hotel began to flee.

With his Divine Sense fully open, Ding Fan and Mu Zi quickly found the zombie.

"Roar..." The zombie was quite large, with cadaverous splotches on its face and blood all over its arms.

Not far from the zombie, a little girl about seven or eight years old was huddled in a corner.

The girl, terrified by what she was seeing, was hiding and crying in the corner, too scared to make a move.

Meanwhile, her mother was crying out nearby, desperately trying to rush over to save her child, while good Samaritans held her back firmly.

Snatching someone from the clutches of a zombie seemed almost fantastical to anyone at that point.

"Mommy... I'm scared... Help..." The girl cowered, eyes shut tight, screaming desperately.

"Let go of me, I want to save my daughter, please let go of me... my daughter... who will save my daughter..."

At this time, the people around were all busy running for their lives, and no one heard her cries for help.

And at this moment, the zombie had already reached the girl. After letting out a ferocious roar, it swung its right hand down at her; with this one strike, the girl was doomed to certain death!

But just at this juncture, a figure appeared directly in front of the zombie, shielding the girl.

Whoosh... The zombie's claw tore through the newcomer's back...

"Mu Zi... catch..." Ding Fan said, and immediately threw the rescued girl over.

The person who rescued the girl was none other than Ding Fan.

Since the zombie was very close to the girl just now, if Ding Fan had not used his body to take the blow from the zombie, the girl would likely have been torn in half on the spot.

Therefore, it was Ding Fan's own body that saved the girl.

Mu Zi did not dare to delay and immediately caught the girl that Ding Fan threw.

Seeing someone snatch the girl from its grasp, the zombie roared furiously and then, without hesitation, pounced directly at Ding Fan.

The zombie, being close to Ding Fan and having a burly stature, completely covered him.

Now that the girl was no longer in the way, Ding Fan was free to act, and he kicked out forcefully without hesitation.

Ding Fan's kick was with all his strength, and with its force, the zombie was immediately sent flying by him.

The zombie flew out and directly smashed into a wall, collapsing it.

At this point, the girl beside him was already crying and embracing her mother.

"Mu Zi, take them and go!" shouted Ding Fan to Mu Zi nearby.

Killing zombies was not a difficult task for Ding Fan, but the Corpse Poison on the zombie was extremely vicious. If the zombie sprayed out the Corpse Poison at this moment and it spread, there would be no way to completely solve the zombie problem.

Mu Zi responded and immediately took the warning seriously. She did not hesitate at all and proceeded to escort the girl and her mother away from the area.

Just at this time, the zombie roared again and sprung out from the rubble.

The zombie was entirely covered in blood at this point, and a piece of flesh had even fallen off its face, looking extremely terrifying.

The zombie, looking disoriented, charged directly at Ding Fan.

The best method to deal with zombies was to use the Fire Blade, but Ding Fan still did not dare to use it recklessly.

The Fire Blade that Ding Fan used was fueled by the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire known as Nine Luminaries Fire. Once released, not only the zombie but likely the entire hotel would be reduced to ashes.

Since there were still many people in the hotel who had not escaped, Ding Fan could not use the Fire Blade yet.

Ding Fan formed blades with his hands and rushed forward, slashing at the zombie's body directly.

Swish, swish, swish... Ding Fan's Hand Blades became streaks of blade gleams, enveloping the zombie...

However, the zombie was not afraid of Ding Fan's Hand Blades at all. When Ding Fan's blades struck the zombie's body, they made a clanging sound as if hitting metal.

Under Ding Fan's attack, the zombie didn't sustain even a scratch; it was merely forced back a few steps.

The Corpse Poison of the zombie was so potent that it could strengthen its body to an abnormal degree, making normal physical attacks completely ineffective against this beast.

The zombie pounced again.

Now the zombie's hands had grown long fingernails, which were a result of the Corpse Poison's influence. In addition to the long nails, it had also grown sharp fangs. These were the zombie's primary weapons.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... The zombie continuously clawed at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan dodged repeatedly; although the zombie was as clumsy as a bear, its close combat ability was still quite formidable. At the very least, a Martial Artist at the Human Level Initial Stage would definitely not be a match for this creature.

Just one zombie was this troublesome. If a city were infected, a Zombie Army would emerge. If defenses were insufficient, it would be a disaster for all humanity.

After avoiding the zombie's attacks, Ding Fan's Hand Blades continued to slash out, forcing the zombie back once more.

Seeing the unharmed zombie, Ding Fan's expression grew serious. It seemed he needed to find a way to kill it.

After a brief pondering, Ding Fan found a solution. He pulled out a Storage Bag from his storage ring, an item collected as spoils of war in the past.

Without a second thought, Ding Fan flicked his hand, bagging the zombie directly. Right after that, a Thunderbolt sprang forth, and a breath of Nine Luminaries Fire engulfed the Storage Bag in Ding Fan's palm, incinerating it...

In an instant, both the Storage Bag and the zombie were burned to nothing...
