Chapter 60 – Uncontrollable Factors

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The situation was completely out of control.

People had already given up on fighting over the food.

Some were bitten by the zombies.

All the noise they made had made the zombies restless.

The zombies did not even have the time to tear their prey apart anymore. They just chased after those who were still alive and bit them.

Li Ran looked around but could not find Lin Ke.

Instead, she saw a soldier with a gun. It was strapped to his back. The soldier saw that someone needed help and rushed towards them with a knife in his hand.

Li Ran came out from her hiding spot. She could not stay in this chaotic place any longer.

The woman who was sacrificed to the zombies could be seen. Her body was still lying at the same spot but with a missing head. Clearly, it had been eaten.

A little boy was standing not too far away from the corpse. There was no fear on his face, just tears of sadness.

Even when a zombie was heading towards him, the little boy did not move an inch.

Li Ran immediately ran to the boy. This was the woman’s child!

Luckily, she managed to get to him first and hurriedly said, “It’s dangerous here. Your mother would want you to live.”

The little boy raised his head after hearing her words. He looked at Li Ran and cried even more. Then, he said honestly, “Sister, I was already bitten by a zombie earlier. I don’t know when I’ll turn into one of them. You should run. I just want to spend a little bit more time with my mother.”

After that, the little boy revealed a bite mark on his arm.

The wound was festering and it looked horrible.

“Oh right, I still have a piece of bread here. Sister, you can take it. I don’t think I’ll need it anymore.”

The little boy stood up and shoved the bread at Li Ran.

Li Ran was obviously unable to react. She just stared blankly at the sensible child.

How could a child be more thoughtful than any other adult she had ever come across?

Suddenly, the little boy began pushing her away.

He growled, “Sister, you have to be careful. Some infected people can be hard to spot. Now go. I can’t hold on much longer.”

Li Ran almost stumbled when the little boy pushed her.

How was he so strong?

She saw that the little boy’s eyes were turning cloudy. He began swaying left and right.

When the little boy raised his head again, he was completely different.

With a heavy heart, Li Ran turned around and fled.

The plane had already landed but the pilot had no idea what was happening.

A hand patted Li Ran’s shoulders.

It was one of the soldiers who was tasked to follow Li Ran. Seeing her, his panicked heart calmed down a little.

He hurriedly urged, “Miss Li, we need to leave this place at once. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be.”

“Okay.”

This time, Li Ran did not put up a fight and instantly agreed.

“Did you see the woman who was with me earlier?”

“She’s safe. Don’t worry, follow me.”

The soldier walked in front of Li Ran and led the way with an anxious expression.

She followed him closely behind and asked, “What’s going to happen to this base?”

There was only silence.

Not even the soldiers could control the current situation.

“Will the rest of the people be saved?”

“I’m not sure but the higher-ups have made some arrangements. Don’t worry, they won’t give up so easily.”

Naturally, he knew that Li Ran was concerned so he tried to put her at ease.

“However, it seems that we will have trouble getting through.”

The soldier stopped in his tracks.. He looked at the crowd and fell into deep thought.
