Song Kai saw Mona running toward him and could not help cursing under his breath. He quickened his pace as he left.
"Damn it, this crazy woman—does she want to die with me?"
"It was just a little blood splashed on her face. Was that really necessary? As long as it didn't get into a wound or her eyes, it wouldn't cause an infection. Why was she acting like she'd been splashed with sulfuric acid?"
Song Kai found it extremely strange.
He had observed that the Infected's blood was not corrosive.
After all, they were Infected that had yet to develop special abilities. If their blood were corrosive, they would be special mutated variants.
It was not just Song Kai.
Even Zhou Yihu, who had fired the shot, was startled by Mona.
He even suspected that his shot had gone off target, or that bullet fragments had splashed onto Mona.
But that was unlikely.
The Infected's head was not made of steel or iron. It was not as though even a bullet could not penetrate it.
Besides, his marksmanship was excellent. At this distance, which was not even a hundred meters, there was no way he could have missed.
Could there be something wrong with that blood?
The others were merely guessing.
But Ye Xuan, who had joined Yi Gui Company and undergone emergency training in a great deal of knowledge during this period, understood what was happening.
Weird entities and the Infected had one thing in common.
They were both highly infectious.
The difference was that the Infected needed bites, scratches, or blood to infect others. None of that went beyond conventional viral transmission.
Later on, after the virus split and evolved into even more terrifying strains, it could even spread through the air and infect the entire world
