Sun Hongchang and the others nodded. "So that's how it is."
Sun Hongchang's group included both young and old. They usually did clerical work or manual labor in the settlement, while Sun Haobo knew how to farm. That was how they made a living.
As for Chu Xi and the others, they were bold, and their families had either turned into zombies or already died.
So they had joined the settlement's search teams, mainly heading outside to gather supplies.
They had dealt with zombies year-round, which was why they carried weapons.
Because of that, they knew more than Sun Hongchang's group.
Sun Hongchang and the others only knew that a horde of several million zombies had attacked the settlement, and the settlement had failed to hold them off and been breached.
They had left through the back gate. Most of the settlement's residents had escaped before it was completely overrun.
The settlement's leader still had some compassion. He had not made these unarmed civilians perish alongside the settlement.
Nor had he thrown them to the zombies.
Instead, seeing that the settlement could no longer be saved, he had notified them to evacuate in advance.
"So zombies can evolve. These Type II zombies with secondary infections may very well evolve into something like the original-strain zombies, gaining greater strength, speed, and regenerative abilities. They may even develop intelligence and supernatural abilities."
"Th-This..."
Sun Hongchang and the others were stunned.
"Doesn't that put humanity in even greater danger?"
Humanity had already been driven everywhere by zombies.
They did not even dare approach cities, where zombies were numerous. They could only hide in small towns and rural areas with fewer people and fewer zombies.
But that was not a solution.
Would hiding in small towns and the countryside really make them safe?
