C219 Silent Mountain Ridge
"Crash ~ ~"
The messy bushes suddenly split open from the middle and a black barrel appeared first. Yang Ze looked around carefully and after confirming that there were no zombies, he waved his hand to the back, allowing Wang Yi and the other two to walk over.
Wang Yi and co. returned from the cove. It had been almost four hours since then, and logically speaking, they should have already reached the prison. However, there were still endless barren hills in front of them, not to mention the prison, there wasn't even a village.
"It's all those zombies. If it wasn't for them suddenly appearing, how could we have taken such a long detour?"
Lee Hu sat on the floor tiredly as he swore.
"Brother Hu, you don't have to say it, who knows why so many zombies suddenly came out of nowhere. If it wasn't for Bro Yi, we probably would've gone straight into the group of zombies, how can we let you vent your frustration here."
Yang Ze took out a cigarette and stuffed it into Lee Hu's mouth, who was still cursing non-stop, so that Lee Hu could calm down.
Two hours ago.
Wang Yi and the other three were running in the forest. At this moment, the five of them had covered almost one-third of the distance. Although their speed was slow, Wang Yi was confident that he could get back to the prison before nightfall.
A gust of mountain wind blew over, gently caressing their faces, causing them to stop in their tracks. The chilly wind carried away their bodies, causing them to feel some comfort. Other than Wang Yi and Xiao Xiangya, Zhang Fei and the others all had intoxicated expressions.
Zhang Fei smelled the faint smell of grass in the mountain wind and thought that he could go back to prison before tonight and spend the night with Chen Hui, who he yearned for day and night. He couldn't help but feel excited.
"Bro Yi, let's continue on our way. I think there's another one …"
"Don't talk!"
Wang Yi suddenly lowered his voice with a stern expression and growled in a low voice, interrupting Zhang Fei's next words.
Zhang Fei did not understand, but he still shut his mouth tightly. However, his gaze towards Wang Yi was filled with doubt, as he did not understand why Wang Yi was so nervous.
Wang Yi ignored Zhang Fei as his nose twitched continuously. Although the mountain breeze brought along the scent of vegetation, Wang Yi could smell a scent that did not belong to the wilderness.
A trace of blood and a rotten smell!
Xiao Xiangya, who was standing at the side, also smelled it. However, she didn't know what it meant. It only made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Bro Yi, what's wrong?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but lower his voice as he saw Wang Yi's twitching nose as if he had smelled something. His tone was filled with doubt.
Wang Yi waved his hand, signaling a few people to gather around and said in a deep voice.
"There's a fishy smell in the wind. If I'm not wrong, there should be zombies on the other side!"
"A zombie!"
Lee Hu immediately cried out in surprise. He immediately pressed his hands against his mouth for a while before whispering.
"When we came here, we didn't encounter a single zombie, so how could we possibly encounter one when we go back?"
It was not because Lee Hu was afraid of zombies, but when the group went out to search for Mutant Python, they basically searched the nearby mountains, but didn't find any traces of human activity, not to mention zombies. In just three days, they found a trace of zombies, although it was said by Wang Yi, Lee Hu did not suspect Wang Yi at all.
Wang Yi shook his head. Although the smell was weak, it definitely was the smell of a zombie. The mountain wind was blowing towards Wang Yi and the others, meaning that the zombies were in front of them, blocking their way back.
"Maybe it's because of the second evolution of zombies that zombies became active, but there shouldn't be too many of them. We need to move a bit more quietly and observe from the front."
Wang Yi felt that the zombies that suddenly appeared in the mountains shouldn't be too many, but it wasn't because of the wind. No matter how experienced Wang Yi was, it was impossible to distinguish the number of zombies just by smell.
Even if the zombies had undergone a second evolution, they would have gone berserk, but if there wasn't the attraction of flesh and blood, they wouldn't move around in groups. In this barren mountain, there wasn't anyone else, and the injuries on Xiao Xiangya's hand had long since stopped, so Wang Yi felt that there shouldn't be too many zombies in front of them.
Slowly and carefully, they moved towards the barren mountain in front of them. That was the direction of the prison, and also the direction of the mountain wind.1
"Hmm?"
"There's really that fishy smell!"
Just as they climbed up the hill, Yang Ze and Zhang Fei called out in a low voice.
"Shh!"
Wang Yi immediately turned around and told the two not to make any sound. The two of them quickly shut their mouths and even slowed down their breathing.
The desolate mountain was not high, and Wang Yi and the others did not spend too much effort on the gentle slope. As they got closer to the top of the mountain step by step, the fishy smell became stronger and stronger. Wang Yi's nose twitched twice, and he couldn't help but frown, thinking about it.
"This smell is too strong, it shouldn't be emitted by a few zombies!"
Thinking about this, Wang Yi couldn't help but turn around and remind them not to make any noise.
They also smelled the strong fishy smell. Other than Xiao Xiangya, who didn't take it seriously, Zhang Fei and the other two were all serious. Without Wu Tie's reminder, they all knew that the situation was tense.
The group had just climbed to the top of the mountain when the sound of zombies came from the other side.
"Hiss!"
"HOWL ~ ~"
The continuous roars caused the few people who were walking forward to be unable to help their faces from changing.
Wang Yi suddenly paused when he heard this. He turned around and pressed his palm on the ground towards the people behind him, signaling them to get down.
The few of them hurriedly nodded their heads and moved the items on their backs, slowly moving forward.
"Hua!"
The grass shook and Wang Yi and co. immediately separated the weeds in front of them and looked down the mountain. The grass shook and Wang Yi and co. immediately separated the weeds in front of them and looked down the mountain.
He saw many pale figures slowly walking down the mountain.
Zombie!
There were countless zombies!
From north to south, the group of zombies at the foot of the mountain seemed to be marching towards their destination!
There was a large number of zombies, and Wang Yi's group could see at least a few hundred of them. From the looks of it, the zombies must have some sort of goal, as they kept moving forward, but they couldn't see the end of it. Every time the zombies moved forward, there would be more zombies following them.
While the few of them were observing, Wang Yi had already found the figures of a few Strong Corpse among the corpses!
