Chapter 31: Zhou Xiaoxiao: I don’t believe he would stand by and watch someone die

"Why hasn't anyone come out yet!"

"It's already past three o'clock now, less than half an hour until four!"

"What's really going on in this village!"

"Could it be... they're all dead?"

"Impossible, they have three Sequence Superpowers users, how could they die!"

Ever since Chen Ye and the other two had entered Longevity Village with the survivors gathering supplies, not a single person had emerged from the village.

This situation was highly abnormal.

Back in Xinghua Town, survivors had continuously escaped out.

Some survivors would return first after obtaining sufficient supplies.

But since the survivors entered Longevity Village, not one survivor had come out.

This eerie situation cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Even the usually confident Captain Chu Che felt somewhat uneasy at this moment.

The survivors remaining outside Longevity Village were also becoming restless.

These survivors who lacked the courage to gather supplies included some who were physically inadequate and consciously unable to collect resources.

Others were too afraid to face the Anomalies, instead hoping to obtain supplies from others.

Once someone acquired sufficient supplies, these people would offer equivalent value to exchange for supplies from them.

Such phenomena were common occurrences in the convoy.

As long as both parties were willing, Chu Che wouldn't interfere with these matters at all.

This was also the survival rule for others in the convoy.

The people entering the village to gather supplies were also these people's hope.

But since morning, not a single person had emerged from the village with supplies.

This made many people feel increasingly uneasy.

Chu Che looked at the village shrouded in gray mist.

When they first arrived here at eleven in the morning, Chu Che could still barely see the situation inside the village.

But now, the village's condition was no longer visible, only a dark, hazy scene could be seen.

Not even the slightest sound could be heard.

This made Chu Che very uneasy.

Not far away, a woman's eyes flickered wildly.

This woman was precisely Xu Jiaojiao.

After being slightly disciplined by Chu Che last time, Xu Jiaojiao had become much more subdued in her presence within the convoy.

But if one thought this woman had done nothing, that would be impossible.

Through networking during this period, Xu Jiaojiao had contacted many sisters.

Xu Jiaojiao had already begun planning in her heart - if no one came out of Longevity Village, she wouldn't just wait for death either.

Based on her understanding, although that Captain Chu Che was also a Sequence Superpowers user, he didn't seem to have much combat capability.

Xu Jiaojiao secretly plotted in her heart.

If by four o'clock, still no one came out...

Just as the convoy outside the village was subtly worrying.

The situation inside the village had clearly become extremely dangerous.

The great willow resembled an enraged monster.

Countless corpses bound by willow branches began reviving.

Pairs of turbid eyes filled with evil desires looked at the survivors, as if gazing at delicious roasted chickens.

Hundreds of corpses activating simultaneously felt like watching a scene from a zombie movie, making people shudder all over.

A corpse entangled around the neck by willow branches charged at Iron Lion like a marionette.

Once one corpse moved, the other corpses also began acting.

These corpses were controlled by the willow branches, attacking through the air like airplanes in a child's hand.

"Get away!"

Iron Lion had originally intended to charge at the great willow, relying on his strength to destroy this eerie great willow.

Perhaps this was the method to leave Longevity Village.

But the corpses before him were increasing.

His massive fist slammed into a corpse, sending it flying backward through the air.

In just an instant, the corpse pounced forward again.

Iron Lion's fist actually hadn't caused any lethal damage to that corpse?

One had to know, Iron Lion's punch could blast an adult man to pieces.

Yet it had no effect on the corpse.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ye felt his heart grow cold.

These corpses were clearly inferior to entities like the Hunchbacked Old Puppet and White Dress Scissor Woman.

But they were still so troublesome.

This made Chen Ye's heart slowly sink.

But soon other corpses charged forward again.

One corpse had already pounced onto Iron Lion's back, opening its mouth ready to bite the back of his neck.

"Whoosh!"

A bolt arrow soaked in black dog blood pierced the corpse's back.

"Sizzle!"

White smoke rose.

The corpse painfully retreated from Iron Lion's back.

It worked?

So they're called Corpse Puppets.

Before Chen Ye could feel pleased, he saw the Corpse Puppet with the arrow still embedded pouncing at him again.

Before the Corpse Puppet reached him, Chen Ye already smelled a foul, fishy odor.

The long-legged girl brushed her left hand's sword fingers over her divine sword, murmuring incantations: "Brilliant light tempers the blade, illuminating the netherworld!..."

"Open!"

The girl's long sword flowed with fluorescent light, slashing at the Corpse Puppet!

The Corpse Puppet split into two sections falling to the ground.

Even so, the bisected Corpse Puppet still struggled to crawl toward Chen Ye.

Damn it...

Chen Ye just wanted to swear.

He never expected Corpse Puppets would be so difficult to deal with.

"Ah~~~"

A terrified scream.

A survivor not far from Chen Ye had already been grabbed by several Corpse Puppets and flown into the sky.

Blood soon splattered all over the ground.

Corpse Puppets couldn't originally fly, but Corpse Puppets pulled by willow branches could fly.

"Xiao Fu, Xiao Fu, save me!"

The old woman loaded with supplies actually hadn't died yet, though she moved somewhat sluggishly due to carrying too many supplies.

But she was still struggling, constantly dodging left and right under the Corpse Puppets' attacks.

Those Corpse Puppets had originally intended to target her, but an inattentive survivor nearby was pushed by the old woman to become a substitute victim.

Many survivors around saw this scene, feeling even more disgusted and resentful toward the old woman!

Only that foolish university student didn't see it.

But now the young university student called Xiao Fu was struggling to protect himself, brandishing a steel pipe while fighting a Corpse Puppet, looking like he wouldn't survive the next second.

The sisters Zhou Lan and Zhou Xiaoxiao were also in extremely dire situations at this moment.

Groups of Corpse Puppets could attack survivors from any direction.

Zhou Lan's celebrity status held no effect before these Corpse Puppets.

When they saw the survivor who had just been beside them being screamingly carried away by Corpse Puppets.

The sisters felt terrified.

The sisters had previously planned to rely on the protection of Iron Lion and Nana to survive.

Unfortunately, Iron Lion had already charged toward the great willow, dozens of meters away from the sisters.

As for the long-legged girl, she was even less likely to protect the sisters.

The long-legged girl currently had to both cover Iron Lion and protect Chen Ye, with no energy left to care for the sisters.

A Corpse Puppet descended from the sky with willow branches, charging straight at Zhou Lan.

"Sister! Be careful!"

The young girl couldn't care about that much at this moment, casually slamming the backpack on her back hard at the Corpse Puppet, which allowed Zhou Lan to escape danger.

But soon more Corpse Puppets charged forward.

"Xiaoxiao!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao saw the bolt arrow shot by Chen Ye nail into a Corpse Puppet, which soon emitted white smoke and retreated.

Zhou Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth: "Sister, let's go to Chen Ye, I don't believe he would refuse to save people in danger!"
