Chapter 176 - 176: Attack at Night
“Ah!” Man Yu let out another piercing scream, and in her nervousness, she actually grabbed one of the snakes. The cold and slippery touch sent shivers down her spine, making her scream again. She panicked and shouted, “Ah… Fu Shinan, help me! I’ve got it… Ah, I’m going to die…”
“Quick, throw it away!” The other snakes also started moving, and Fu Shinan, holding a stick, had no time to help Man Yu.
With her eyes closed, Man Yu tossed the snake away while screaming.
The snake landed on the ground, rolled for a moment, and quickly raised its head, ready to attack again.
Fu Shinan’s enhanced stick had maximum speed, penetration, and attack power, she could crush zombie heads with it, let alone a small snake head. She kicked open the door, giving everyone a chance to escape.
Shui Ling’er and Wei Xinyi were using blankets to fend off the snakes, they were too afraid to use sticks, as the slippery creatures terrified them.
At the same time, Molly’s screams echoed from the neighboring room. Soon, all the rooms had their lights turned on.
Then, footsteps approached. It was Ji Zan, who arrived at Fu Shinan’s room looking tense. “What’s going on?” Before Fu Shinan could respond, he saw the twisted snakes scattered all over. He asked, “Are these mutants?”
“It seems so,” Fu Shinan said, looking at the snake corpses on the ground, her brows furrowed. “But we haven’t seen any animals along the way. How did so many snakes suddenly appear?”
Wei Xinyi immediately said, “Ah, I remember now. I overheard them saying that someone was controlling them…”
Before Wei Xinyi could finish her sentence, they heard the whining voice of Xiao Chang’an. “Ah, you big meanie, let go of me, Uncle…”
“Chang’an!” Ji Zan quickly rushed out.
Fu Shinan also hurried out.
“Chang’an was grabbed by a man in black!” Professor Feng rushed out, sweating heavily. He had tried using his powers for half the day, but they proved useless!
Fu Shinan’s face turned pale. There was no doubt it was the High Priest.
Nana also ran out, she had been sleeping with Xiao Chang’an. However, she had moved away earlier because she felt too hot. She hadn’t expected her little brother to be taken. If she had stayed closer to him, maybe he wouldn’t have been the one captured. Her eyes were red as she asked, “Sister Fu, is my brother in danger?”
“No, he’s not. You’re just a child, go and rest,” Fu Shinan reassured her, worried that the child might get taken too.
But Nana shook her head, saying, “I’m not tired. I want to go with you to find my brother! I won’t slow you down!”
Fu Shinan immediately refused, “No, it’s too dangerous! Don’t worry, your brother will come back when you wake up.”
Meanwhile, He Zhu and the others also rushed out. “Big Brother Ji, something’s wrong. Many strange-looking snakes have entered the house, and they bit Molly,” He Zhu said.
As they spoke, Sun Han rushed over in a panic. “Big Brother Ji, Xia Dong and
MO Cheng were also bitten by snakes. Their faces are turning blue.”
After several days of being busy, everyone was genuinely tired. They had relaxed their guard since there were no zombies around, and they were completely unprepared. It was only when they got bitten that they realized the danger.
“Let’s go check on them first,” Ji Zan hurried to Sun Han’s place.
In the room, Xia Dong and MO Cheng lay still on the bed, eyes tightly shut, faces turning blue, and breathing faint. They had several wounds on their bodies.
Ji Zan glanced at them and then said to He Zhu, “Go and bring Molly here.” Afterward, he walked to the space between Xia Dong and MO Cheng and placed his hands on their respective wounds. A faint green light emanated from his palms, and the visible wounds on MO Cheng and Xia Dong began to heal. After a while, their complexion improved significantly.
The team members were aware of Ji Zan’s healing abilities, so they weren’t surprised. However, they were concerned about whether these two would wake up. The two Longkong Tribe members who had been rescued wore expressions of shock and were on the verge of kneeling before Ji Zan.
Meanwhile, He Zhu brought Molly into the room.
Seeing Molly’s wound on her arm, Fu Shinan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Five minutes later, Ji Zan stood up and said, “The toxins have been cleared from their bodies, but they still need some time to wake up. Gather everyone together and take care of each other.”
Sun Han nodded and asked, “Ji, did something happen to Chang’an? I thought I heard him shouting just now…”
Ji Zan furrowed his brow slightly and replied, “Chang’an was captured by the High Priest! But we can’t find him, we can only wait for him to find us first. He must have a request and will come to us eventually.. Let’s wait for news!”
