Chapter 1060: Facing Huo Jinglin Was Bitten

When Ning Chen arrived in front of the motorhome, he saw only this scene: Facing Huo Jinglin, clutching his bloody arm, leaned against the side of the vehicle, while Lin Yi and Gu Yanqi each held a mop to fend off the zombies.

The zombie roared, then lunged straight at Gu Yanqi.

Gu Yanqi was a girl after all; the forceful impact knocked her to the ground.

Just as the zombie opened its blood-filled maw to bite down, a burst of light instantly enveloped Gu Yanqi.

The zombie before him was flung away with great force, crashing into a nearby tree with a tremendous sound.

The light protected Gu Yanqi as she fell precisely into Ning Chen's arms.

At this moment, Ning Chen looked somewhat terrifying; his face was dark, his entire body radiating waves of chilling cold, his eyes deep black as if he was struggling to suppress something.

Ning Chen looked at that zombie; his mind was in utter chaos.

Heaven knows that the moment he saw that scene, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest; if he had arrived a little later, if he had not acted in time just now.

Now, Ning Chen was filled with dread; cold sweat poured out in waves. He placed Gu Yanqi steadily on the ground, then walked step by step toward that zombie like a Rakshasa.

Whether due to instinct or not, that zombie trembled uncontrollably, even emitting a sharp sound as it constantly retreated backward.

"My treasure that I must always protect, how dare you hurt her? How dare you?"

Ning Chen felt he must vent now, or his emotions would spiral out of control.

And the object of that venting was naturally the zombie before him, the one who had wanted to harm someone important to him.

Ning Chen extended his hand, lifted the zombie through the air, and then, one after another, the bones in the zombie's body snapped, its entire form beginning to twist.

"Ning, Ning Chen!"

A gentle voice entered Ning Chen's ears; Ning Chen glanced at the ugly creature before him, then casually flung it away. The zombie, already thoroughly dead and completely defenseless, was thrown into the depths of the woods.

Coming to Gu Yanqi's side, Ning Chen raised his hand and gently stroked her head.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Yanqi looked behind Ning Chen; she did not see the zombie, but thinking of what had just happened, she still couldn't help but shrink her neck.

When that zombie had opened its blood-filled maw just now, she had even prepared her last words.

"Facing Huo Jinglin! How are you? Are you okay?"

Lin Yi's voice came from not far away.

Ning Chen's expression changed; he remembered seeing Facing Huo Jinglin injured just now, but what kind of injury? Had he been bitten by a zombie?

Thinking of this, Ning Chen quickly rushed to Facing Huo Jinglin's side. At this moment, he was covered in sweat, his body stiff beyond measure, his eyes tightly shut as if suffering a terrible nightmare.

Moving Facing Huo Jinglin's right hand aside, he saw a very clear tooth mark in the blood flowing from his left arm; there was no doubt he had been bitten.

Ning Chen frowned, examining Facing Huo Jinglin closely. Currently, aside from a slight fever, Facing Huo Jinglin showed no other symptoms, which was actually a very good thing.

At least, there was no immediate threat to his life.

"What is going on?" Xiao Han walked out from B City, holding a recorder, and asked in surprise, looking at the mess before him.

Ning Chen and Lin Yi had no time to explain to Xiao Han, so only Gu Yanqi, having recovered her senses, told him everything that had happened.

It turned out that when the zombies arrived, the first one to lunge was at Lin Yi, who was closest; Facing Huo Jinglin, standing beside him, sensed something was wrong and immediately pushed Lin Yi down.

Facing Huo Jinglin had no weapon, so he used his arm to block the attacker, and then he was bitten on the arm.

Ning Chen quickly wiped Facing Huo Jinglin's arm clean; strangely, there was no large-scale tearing on his arm, no obvious wound, which clearly did not match the situation of his arm being covered in blood.

Holding Facing Huo Jinglin's arm, Ning Chen transferred his ability into Facing Huo Jinglin's body, exploring within to search for the zombie virus.

After one complete sweep, Ning Chen found not a trace of toxin; in fact, Facing Huo Jinglin's body was extremely healthy.

But then, why was he unconscious? Why did he have a fever?

The situation was clearly wrong, and the outside was no safe place; Ning Chen pulled Facing Huo Jinglin into the motorhome.

The others entered one by one.

Placing Facing Huo Jinglin on the sofa to lie down, Ning Chen stood aside, pondering the situation before him.

"Brother Ning, what's wrong with Facing Huo Jinglin?" Lin Yi's eyes were full of worry; Facing Huo Jinglin had become like this because of him. If anything happened to the other man, he would never forgive himself.

Ning Chen, having found nothing, shook his head.

To Lin Yi, this was no different from saying Facing Huo Jinglin was done for.

Tears gathered in his eyes; Lin Yi felt a thousand kinds of hatred in his heart. Why? Why couldn't he have reacted faster? Why didn't he spot that zombie? Why wasn't the one bitten him?

Resentment, confusion, disappointment, and pain all gathered in Lin Yi's mind at once.

Until Xiao Han patted his shoulder: "Ning Chen means he is fine."

This sentence instantly shattered Lin Yi's negative emotions. He looked at Facing Huo Jinglin and saw his expression calm, his face ruddy, as if he were asleep; indeed, he did not look like someone in trouble.

Lin Yi looked at Ning Chen again; he was deep in thought but not anxious. Since Ning Chen was not anxious, that meant Facing Huo Jinglin was fine.

The spirit gathered under immense pressure collapsed completely at this moment; Lin Yi sat down on the ground with a "thud," his entire body now lacking strength.

Ning Chen glanced at Lin Yi, grabbed him with one arm, and tossed him onto the opposite sofa.

"Brother Ning, thank you."

Lin Yi, the one who had been tossed, even said thank you.

Xiao Han came to Ning Chen's side, looking at his condition and his arm which was almost covered in traces, and spoke.

"It seems something is wrong; a normal person's healing ability wouldn't be this strong. Moreover, ordinary people bitten by them would definitely turn into zombies. Those who don't turn have a chance of being..."

Xiao Han did not finish his sentence; instead, he placed the recorder he had brought on the table and turned it on.

"F City broadcast, F City broadcast. All citizens, I must now inform you: ability users who can protect everyone have appeared among humans. Their abilities vary. Ability users whose powers have not yet been awakened will not be infected if bitten, and may even awaken their abilities, though there is a certain risk of death. Therefore, when you discover you have strange abilities, please do not panic."

What the broadcast said was very clear; looking at it this way, Facing Huo Jinglin must be an ability user; otherwise, the situation before them could not be explained.

Ning Chen thought of the certain risk of death mentioned in the broadcast and hoped Facing Huo Jinglin would pull through.
