Chapter 218 (219) Raid
It was snowing heavily outside and it was freezing cold, but when I closed the doors and windows inside the house, it was warm and cozy.
Liu Yi and Liang Zuan enjoyed a New Year's Eve dinner that was colorful, fragrant and delicious.
"By the way, why didn't Mr. Liao come?" She only remembered her adoptive father after she had eaten and drunk her fill.
"I'll go and greet them." Liang Zan stood up.
Liu Yi also put on her coat and hurried over, saying, "Let's go together. It's already this late, I'm afraid you've run into some trouble."
On the road leading to the safe zone, Liao Wanxun encountered a small group of scavengers. If he had blocked their way, he might have seen blood, but most of these people were skinny old, weak, women and children.
They saw the convoy from the safety zone coming from afar, but instead of trying to stop the vehicles, they cried and begged for money.
Liao Wanxun had the support of the Nine Mountain Tops, so he had no shortage of supplies. Thinking of the happy family day on New Year's Eve, he was kind-hearted and donated some supplies.
Unexpectedly, there were people transformed into snakes mixed in with the scavengers.
The snake-transformers quickly transformed into snakes, their scales flashing with cold light, which frightened the scavengers so much that they fled in all directions.
The snake was too close to Liao Wanxun.
Fortunately, Secretary Sheng Yi was standing next to Liao Wanxun. She used her body to block the snake-transformer's close-range assassination of Liao Wanxun.
The snake's tail tore a hole in her chest and blood gushed out.
She looked at him, and soon lost her breath, her pupils losing focus.
"Xiao Sheng!"
Liao Wanxun quickly counterattacked, and the mercenaries in the convoy also reacted quickly and joined the battle.
This group of snake-transformers were killed in a crushing manner.
The crystal core was dug out and the body was cremated on the spot.
The thick black smoke was mixed with a pungent smell.
Sheng Yimi on the ground had his heart dug out by the snake-transformed being and swallowed in one gulp.
At this moment, her body still had some warmth left, but she had stopped breathing. Even the healing psychic had no chance to save her.
Before she died, she kept staring at Liao Wanxun, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance deeply in her heart and never forget it until her death.
In fact, Liao Wanxun knew in his heart how Sheng Yimi felt about him, but he was no longer in the age of romance and was not qualified to shoulder family responsibilities.
He cremated the body and buried the ashes on a hillside in a safe zone where he could see the rising sun.
In an age of disorder, everyone was already familiar with separation and death, and they all thought of this as just an ordinary assassination.
By the time they got back on the road, everyone started to feel unwell, including Liao Wanxun.
Fever, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, blurred vision...
"It's a new infectious disease! It's specifically targeting people with special abilities..." The healing people rushed to provide treatment.
But instead of relieving everyone's pain, he himself was also infected.
The disease was so severe that a group of people were completely paralyzed and didn't even have the strength to drive.
"There's something wrong with those snake-transformers!"
How could it be such a coincidence that after the assassination, everyone was not injured but fell ill.
There are only a few ways for viruses to spread. The virus that may infect a beastman with a strong physique is definitely not an ordinary virus.
Liao Wanxun suspected that he was infected by inhaling the black smoke produced by burning the snake-like corpse.
Those who came had bad intentions and attacked with the intention of ensuring our death.
Killing him would be the best, but even if we can't kill him, burning the bodies of those snake-transformers will produce viruses, causing them to contract highly contagious infections and then carry them to the safe zone.
If one person gets sick, the entire safe zone will be in trouble. Then, can Liu Yi and Xiao Feng, who are in the safe zone, be spared?
This is going to harvest millions of lives!
It's more vicious than fighting with real guns and swords!
Instantly, Liao Wanxun was horrified.
If they hadn't delayed some time by burying Secretary Sheng, the convoy would have been too late to do anything right now when it was about to enter the safe zone...
