Chapter 84 - Were these going to be his last words? (1)

Du Ruo had been scratched earlier today when he went to help the young man, who had been hung from the walkway.

Since it was just a scratch, Du Ruo didn't take it seriously and forgot about it after applying a bit of antibiotic ointment.

It was obvious that Lu Xingchi and Jiang Fei had the same thought as Bei Nun and fell silent too.

Lu Xingchi was the first to speak. He pointed at the two zombies and asked Bei Nuan, "Do you have gloves? A plastic bag would also work. I also need a flashlight. I want to check their injuries."

Bei Nuan suddenly had hope. That's right, if the young man had been the one to turn his girlfriend into a zombie, Du Ruo would be fine.

Bei Nuan was well aware that they had heard the young man scream when they were outside the back entrance. Even if she wanted to think of a plausible excuse, it definitely seemed like he had been attacked by his girlfriend. Still, it was better to have hope than not.

However, the results were disappointing.

When she swept over the flashlight to look, they saw the obvious scratch marks on the young woman. Those scratches had already scabbed over. The injuries on the young man were fresh and on his head and neck.

There was no other possibility. The young woman had been scratched by zombies. She mutated into a zombie at night and attacked her boyfriend.

Lu Xingchi stood up, took off the gloves, and said to the leader of the Jiangdong group, "It's fine here now. We'll leave first."

The Jiangdong group's leader felt conflicted. He had seen Lu Xingchi kill the zombies in only a few seconds with only a crossbow. He was reluctant for such a strong fighter to leave.

"How about you wait here until tomorrow to discuss with everyone before leaving…"

Lu Xingchi interrupted him, "Our friend was scratched by these two people today. We have to leave."

Du Ruo openly raised his right hand and showed them the scratch marks.

The Jiangdong group's leader didn't dare to speak out again. He couldn't bear the responsibility if he had them stay.

If any one of them mutated, it would be very problematic.

The Jiangdong group's leader called over the other leaders at top speed.

This time, everyone's views were unusually unanimous. The decision was made very quickly. Lu Xingchi and his team were respectfully escorted to the back entrance.

Everyone was a bit moved that Lu Xingchi and the others would exiled themselves for the benefit of Refuge #9.

The Jiangdong group's leader sympathetically glanced at Du Ruo and said to Lu Xingchi, "If nothing happens, you guys are welcome to come back at any time."

The Jiangxi group's leader declared to Bei Nuan, "No matter where you are, you'll be the leader of Refuge #9."

The student group's leader quickly nodded in agreement.

Bei Nuan thought; sure, you guys can't agree on letting anyone else be leader anyways.

Bei Nuan waved her hand and sincerely said to them, "You don't have to send us off any further. It's so late. Go back to sleep."

If they didn't leave, she couldn't take out the jeep.

After the back gate finally creaked shut behind them, she took out the jeep and they got on.

As the jeep moved forward in the fresh air of the spring night, there was the faint smell of flowers. The refuge gradually disappeared from their view.

Bei Nuan couldn't figure it out.

Why did Du Ruo get scratched? This plot hadn't happened in the novel. In the novel, he had been glowing with health and vitality until the team's demise at the end.

Looking back, she noticed that the plot had gone off the rails ever since they had gone back to the restaurant instead of going back onto the road when they reached the towering roadbed. By going back, they found out that people had been killed there and heard about a zombie virus inhibitor.

And then, due to an unexpected turn of events, they had entered the supermarket, encountered the aftermath of Zhou Cang killing people, and stayed the night in the supermarket.

All along the way, they fell behind the novel's timeline.

And then, by getting to the riverside a day late, she had the bad luck of bumping into Huo Cheng and his group. As a result, she came to Refuge #9, which wasn't even mentioned in the novel.

And then, Du Ruo got injured.

The series of events had been like a long string of dominoes. One piece had fallen the wrong way, which caused a cascading effect.

Little Three hadn't spoken in a long time.

"Little Three, will Du Ruo become a zombie? Will he die?"

Little Three's response didn't surprise Bei Nuan. He apologetically said, "Decline to provide a spoiler."

Bei Nuan deeply sighed.

Little Three inquired, "Bei Nuan, there's a new task. Do you want to do it?"

"No." Bei Nuan closed the interface. She wasn't in the mood to look at the new task.
