Qiao Zhongxing yelled, urging the horse to speed up, and was running side by side with Qiao Zhongbang.

With a glimpse, the two of them saw a monster pouncing on a wildly running village woman from the back. Its shriveled hand deathly choking the woman’s neck, causing the woman to release an ear-piercing scream, furiously waving her arms and legs.

Before they could take a closer look, the carriage had hurtled past the monster and the woman like a flash of lightning.

There was a crowd of sobbing women continuously waving their arms while following them and crying “Let us get on” and “I beg you to take us with you.”

Qiao Zhongbang tightly pursed his lips and could not resist looking back. He hoarsely called, “Second Brother.”

“Eldest Brother, we can’t take that many people.” Qiao Zhongxing kept his face harsh as he fiercely whipped the horse, causing the horse to madly dash forward in pain.

Qiao Mu sat in a corner of the carriage cabin with Xiao Lin’er and avoided the rain drenching the inside. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and her hands involuntarily clenched underneath her sleeves.

Four days! It was early by an entire four days!

Her original plans were to leave the day after tomorrow, and they would certainly arrive at Xijiu City in two days. At that time, the zombie outbreak would have just erupted, but their family would have safely settled inside Xijiu City.

But now!

Plans could not catch up to changes!

She had no idea where it went wrong. The zombie outbreak in this life was forcibly ahead of schedule by this many days! It truly caught her completely off guard!

“Oh!” Her mother, Wei Ziqin, called in surprise all of a sudden.

“What is it, Mother?” Qiao Mu returned to the present. “Was your packing unfinished? Forget about it! We will take care of that later.”

“No, no.” Wei Ziqin was both panicked and regretful. “I finished packing nearly everything at home and stored what we could bring inside the storage talisman! It’s just—it’s just Shaoyao! We fled in such a hurry and abandoned her at home!”

Qiao Mu had thought something major had occurred, but after hearing her mother, she relaxed. “It’s fine, Mother. I already had someone go and inform her and also left two horses behind at home. Don’t worry, they will catch up very soon.”

With Ao Ye’s capabilities, these level one zombies were not even an appetizer for him. As for Shaoyao, Qiao Mu had long discovered that the girl might be the same age as Qiao Hu, but she was not ordinary. She was probably slightly martially trained at least. Otherwise, the rich crown prince would not assign the girl to her side.

Hearing this, Wei Ziqin’s heart settled, and she nodded and said, “Child, I’m glad you were thorough and attentive. Mother is so useless. Look at me, I panic and forget everything.”

Qiao Mu silently laughed with bitterness. She had exchanged a life of trials and tribulations for consideration and attentiveness.

“Sister, what in the world are those monsters? They—how could they be so scary!” Qiao Hu leaned closer to Wei Ziqin’s side and used the dry cloth he just picked up to wipe his face and body.

When that monster plunged down from the carriage roof, his heart nearly stopped from fright, and he still had not recovered from his fright yet.

“Brother Xiao Hu, those things are called zombies.” Qiao Mu stopped keeping them in the dark. “Mother, you spoke correctly. They are corpses, a mutation of the corpses who were buried in the past half month.”

“These things move exceptionally slowly but have astonishing strength. Merely hitting their limbs, body, or heart are not enough to kill them. You must aim for their head.”

“Oh, Younger Sister! I see! That’s why you killed him by shooting his head with your repeating bow earlier.” Qiao Hu furiously nodded as realization dawned on him.

“That’s right.”
