Bai Xiaoqing's body had already been surrounded by Qi Xing's vines.
With nowhere left to run, the Mutated Species swiftly transferred its consciousness into a zombie near Bai Xiaoqing.
Unlike the other zombies charging at them with howls, that zombie turned and ran.
Its behavior was far too unusual. Jiang Zhaosu immediately recognized that it had been possessed by the Mutated Species.
"It ran!"
Jiang Zhaosu immediately warned Qi Xing.
"It can't escape."
Qi Xing's vines instantly shot toward the zombie Jiang Zhaosu had pointed out, piercing its skull with murderous force.
"It ran again!" Jiang Zhaosu pointed at another one as if picking out stars and said anxiously, "There!"
"Got it."
The iron-hard vines sliced through the zombies like watermelons, their sharp tips rapidly piercing one head after another.
They were fiercely slicing fruit over here.
Freed from the Mutated Species' control, Bai Xiaoqing went limp and dropped to his knees, holding Bai Xiaoling as she coughed up blood.
Several holes had been punched through Bai Xiaoling's body by the vines. Blood gushed from her in torrents, soaking through her coat in an instant.
The white coat had been dyed crimson with blood.
Bai Xiaoqing had accompanied Bai Xiaoling when she bought that coat.
It had been too expensive, and Bai Xiaoling had refused to spend her own money. She had pestered him to pay for it and had even called him "brother," something she rarely did.
Bai Xiaoqing still remembered the smile on Bai Xiaoling's face when she saw him hand over his card. Dressed in that beautiful white coat, she had looked like a lively little dove.
But now, that little dove was in his hands, slaughtered by his own hand.
Even though he had become a Mutated Species, Bai Xiaoqing could still clearly feel the cold.
