Worri?
Ma Ran, who was already terrified, burst into tears when she heard that the plane couldn't land and that she had to jump into the zombie horde with a parachute.
Ma Ran's tears welled up in her eyes, and she gripped the armrests of her seat tightly, as if that would allow her to escape the clutches of death.
But in front of Wang Dayong and the others, his fear seemed somewhat superfluous.
Wang Dayong patted Ma Ran's shoulder gently, a playful smile on his face.
"Don't be afraid, brother. What are these zombies? What you're facing is the eerie creature from ghost stories, much more disgusting and terrifying than zombies."
Niu Jieshi nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, you haven't seen us when we go berserk. We're twisted, dark, and crawl indescribably. We can't even maintain a basic human form. These zombies are just child's play."
Ma Ran looked at the people in front of her with teary eyes.
Yes.
These are all terrifying creatures, far more dangerous than zombies.
But even so, when he saw the dark mass of missing limbs below, his legs still couldn't help but tremble.
Shi Shi stood by the cabin door, her eyes resolute, as if she had made up her mind.
She glanced at the parachute beside her, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"I don't think I really need this."
Jiang Xiao shook his head helplessly. He knew that Shi Shi's abilities did not necessarily require a parachute.
Her body has been tempered countless times in the world of ghost stories, far surpassing that of ordinary people. Most importantly, the black power within her body is almost "omnipotent".
He shouldn't die from the fall.
However, just in case, Jiang Xiao still planned to lead everyone to jump down.
"Come on, fine, no parachute if you don't want one. Today I'll show you what it means to be a man like the wind, and at the same time give the zombies below a little electromagnetic shock."
Jiang Xiao's voice exuded confidence and pride, and his eyes gleamed with fighting spirit.
Ma Ran's face was deathly pale, his lips trembled, and he pleaded hysterically.
But Jiang Xiao had no time to comfort Ma Ran; he knew that every minute and every second was crucial to the safety of Kyoto.
He turned around and nodded to Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi. Both of them looked resolute and walked towards the cabin door without hesitation.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine."
Jiang Xiao said his last words to Ma Ran, and then quickly opened the hatch.
A cold wind howled in, the air pressure inside the plane dropped suddenly, and everything seemed so harsh and chaotic.
Jiang Xiao was the first to stand at the edge of the cabin door. He took a deep breath, then strode forward and led the others to jump off the plane (Ma Ran was the first one kicked out by Jiang Xiao).
Below them was a dense horde of zombies. As if sensing the presence of the zombies in the air, they all looked up and let out excited roars.
But apart from Ma Ran, who was already foaming at the mouth.
Jiang Xiao and his companions were not afraid, after all, each of them possessed superhuman strength and skills.
Shi Shi's body tumbled lightly in the air, and a power that did not belong to this world gathered in her palm.
Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi also unleashed their respective strange abilities, their figures leaving trails of afterimages in the air.
Jiang Xiao's hands were gathering electromagnetic energy, and lightning flashed in his eyes. As they approached the ground, this energy continued to expand.
His gaze was unwavering, as if he were measuring when Shanghai could reach its maximum potential.
"Now's your little surprise!"
Jiang Xiao let out a low shout and pushed his hands down sharply. A powerful electromagnetic wave surged from his palms and rushed straight towards the horde of zombies below.
It was an electromagnetic storm; powerful electromagnetic waves swept through the entire horde of zombies, causing countless zombies to be electrocuted and run around in agony, howling in pain.
An electromagnetic storm swept through the horde of zombies, while a powerful geomagnetic explosion generated a counter-pressure, creating space for Jiang Xiao and his companions to land.
Protected by this force, Ma Ran's body slowly landed in a relatively safe area.
The arrival of the group was like a powerful storm, directly disrupting the zombie horde's formation.
Ma Ran watched this scene with a look of utter shock.
He finally understood objectively just how strong these people in front of him really were.
The shockwave from the electromagnetic force was like an invisible giant axe, instantly blasting the dense horde of corpses apart.
Jiang Xiao and his group landed steadily on the ground amidst chaos and panic.
Corpses and limbs, ravaged by the electromagnetic storm, scattered helplessly on the ground like withered leaves caught in a whirlwind.
Jiang Xiao frowned slightly as he noticed the unusual behavior of these "zombies".
Although they looked exactly like zombies in the movies, with pale faces and dull eyes, their reactions were surprisingly sluggish in the face of this powerful electromagnetic force.
"These guys don't seem to be the kind of zombies we imagined."
Jiang Xiao said in a low voice, his gaze sharp as a knife, sweeping over the monsters that had been knocked to the ground.
Shi Shi landed lightly next to Jiang Xiao, a hint of doubt flickering in her eyes.
"Yes, I feel that their physique is different from the zombies we have seen. They are more like puppets controlled by some kind of force."
Wang Dayong squatted down, picked up a piece of flesh torn apart by electromagnetic force, and examined it carefully.
"Hmm, there are some subtle black threads here, like the tentacles of some kind of parasite."
Niu Jieshi also bent down and touched the chest of a corpse, where there was a small hole charred by electromagnetic force.
Ma Ran had recovered from his shock by now. Looking at everyone's actions, he couldn't help but ask.
"So, what should we do now?"
Chapter 589 The Sick
A sudden flash of inspiration struck Jiang Xiao; he remembered his previous conversation with B2.
b2 mentions a unique phenomenon regarding infected individuals—
Without any modern electronic connection or communication whatsoever.
People infected with the virus could mysteriously and coincidentally "gather" together, as if summoned by some unseen force.
"Wait, is there any connection between the behavior of these 'zombies' and the unusual gathering of infected people before?"
Jiang Xiao frowned, a hint of doubt in his voice.
Wang Dayong also frowned, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding "zombies" as if searching for some clue, and he said softly.
"If there really is a connection, then there must be some unknown force manipulating all of this behind the scenes."
Upon hearing Jiang Xiao's words, Shi Shi and Niu Jieshi also stopped examining the corpse, and their expressions became serious.
Jiang Xiao's doubts deepened, and his sharp gaze swept over the swaying figures around him.
The way these monsters behaved was fundamentally different from the zombies he knew, and this difference made him feel something was amiss.
"These guys aren't ordinary zombies, or rather, they're not the kind of 'zombies' you see in zombie movies in the strictest sense."
Jiang Xiao's voice was firm, and lightning crackled in his palm, arcs of electricity leaping from his fingertips.
He waved his hand, and several bolts of electricity struck the approaching monsters with perfect accuracy.
Their bodies convulsed under the electric shock, then they collapsed and remained motionless, showing no signs of life.
Seeing this, Shi Shi and Niu Jieshi also took action, using their strange abilities to deal with these bizarre beings.
The black power that Shi Shi gathered in her palm transformed into sharp energy blades, easily severing the monster's limbs.
Niu Jieshi used his power to twist the bodies of several monsters, making it impossible for their bodies to maintain their original structure.
As the group moved, the monsters around them fell one after another. They died in a variety of ways, and it wasn't just headshots that could kill them.
"It seems our guess was correct."
Jiang Xiao said in a low voice, his eyes revealing a hint of calm analysis.
"These monsters are resilient, but they are not like zombies, which can only be killed by a headshot."
At this point, everyone's expressions turned somewhat grim.
A heavy atmosphere permeated the air, as if a huge boulder was pressing on everyone's heart, making it hard to breathe.
Jiang Xiao had already phrased it very tactfully, but Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi had already grasped the general meaning.
These monsters are actually "humans", so what they just killed were people, or rather, sick people.
So, will they still kill them or not?
Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi rubbed their hands together.
It wasn't that they couldn't bring themselves to do it, even though Niu Jieshi had already "reformed."
The main reason is that "Chosen One" Jiang Xiao is right beside them, and they must follow Jiang Xiao's advice.
Ma Ran stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, his lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't utter a sound.
