Chapter 68: We are cannon fodder
“Captain Mo, what gun is that? How did you hurt this monster?!”
Cheng Long’s mouth opened wide and he looked at the bleeding Zombie Ape in disbelief.
The others looked at it and then looked at Mo Ye before looking at her old rifle.
Mo Ye had already given them a huge shock. Evolved, virus immunity, all of these magical things happened to this person who was the same as them yesterday.
But that was the truth. The big hole in the wall proved all this. Now, this gun also proved that.
Cheng Ze and Xia Lei also noticed that in just the first day of the apocalypse, their disciple and junior sister had been through some changes.
After all, Cheng Ze was old and had seen many things so he considered many things. He thought about it and had his guess.
“You kept saying that you are going to leave because of this?”
Mo Ye returned to the headquarters and told them that she wanted to leave. Many people didn’t understand. After all, if everyone was together, they were familiar with one another and they had food and weapons. As long as one wasn’t a fool and didn’t fear the zombies, a team was much safer than being alone.
Even someone like Xia Lei who was really skilled and whose husband was waiting for her didn’t make a rash decision. She was waiting for a good chance. Mo Ye was at most on the same level so was she risking her life wanting to leave?
Without a doubt, upon hearing that, Cheng Ze and Xia Ye disagreed.
But now they knew that this young police captain had a much better path to walk. A path that allowed her to become immune to the virus and turn into an evolved in just a day.
Also this gun…
They thought that it was an old gun she had picked up, who knew that it was much stronger than Cheng Ze’s sniper.
Mo Ye bit her teeth and found another chance to fire. She didn’t know how to explain herself to her master and her colleagues.
Actually, only after she came here did she realise what Ye Zhongming had given her.
Evolution potion, immunity potion, rifle, bullets, she didn’t think they were much and she even felt like it was rewards that she deserved. Only after returning did she realise that what she did wasn’t worthy of such a high reward.
Right, high reward. She heard Captain Ye’s call and heard that one evolution potion could exchange for many good things! Only then did she know that she had taken too much.
She could get scratched now and be totally fine and could also stop these monsters from getting close and earning survival time for everyone. She felt like not only did she take a lot, she had taken too much.
So it made her feel more grateful to Ye Zhongming. It also made her more firm in her decision to leave this place after this mission.
Her heart told her that what she wished for was to be with that person.
“The world has changed and some things are quite mysterious, more mysterious than we think.” Mo Ye looked at the Zombie Ape that had gone mad and was kicking all the cars around. She lowered her voice, “If there is a chance, I will explain to all of you.”
She fired once more. This time she didn’t aim at the eye that the ape was blocking but its knee.
Mo Ye used another bullet that Ye Zhongming gave her.
Her old rifle was strengthened by Ye Zhongming using the 56 rifle. Although he didn’t enchant it, but it was already really strong and had exceeded that of some sniper rifles.
Apart from that, Ye Zhongming had given her five bullets. Mo Ye didn’t know how they appeared but she knew that it was one of his magical abilities.
A strengthened rifle and strengthened bullets allowed her to badly injure the Zombie Ape’s eyes and shock her colleagues in the room.
But these things weren’t enchanted and didn’t have special abilities. Although they were strong but they couldn’t kill this terrifying Zombie Ape which was why she changed her plan after the first shot.
The bullet shot past the dozens of meters and hit its right knee. The grey skin exploded to review the black kneecap.
The strength of that gun caused the Zombie Ape to stop. It lowered its head and looked at its knees with its white eyes before hollering in Mo Ye’s direction.
The zombies around all moved in that direction, even trying to surround the building!
It only wanted to kill that person that could threaten it!
“Who fired, follow me. Chief Liu told you to join his team.”
Someone ran in. He looked around and his eyes shifted between Cheng Ze and Xia Lei.
One of them was a famous teacher and the other was a strong and beautiful lady. It was probably one of them as their guns were also the best.
A moment later, he noticed that everyone was looking at Mo Ye who was the only person who wasn’t looking at him.
She was focused on her aim. Her arms didn’t even move when she fired, it was as if the rifle recoil did not exist.
This person was filled with respect but when he saw that old rifle, he couldn’t help but look down on her.
“Help me to attack!” Mo Ye’s tone was anxious. She was evolved and could sense the suppression from the Zombie Ape. She knew that if it got close, everyone would die, “Right knee, quick!”
The other four turned their guns to it right away.
“Oi, did you hear what I said? This is an order!”
Peng!
Mo Ye fired. With the strengthened vision and observation ability, her gun was really precise, hitting the same spot as the last shot.
Cheng Ze, Xia Lei, Cheng Long and Little Tiger all fired too. Although they couldn’t hit the exact same spot as Mo Ye did, but they all hit the target, hitting its knee.
The Zombie Ape let out a deafening roar and its body leaned to the side, holding onto the building to prevent itself from falling.
Mo Ye’s vision was really good and she could see thin cracks in its right knee.
She wanted to continue attacking to shatter its knee but that person stretched his hand over at her gun.
“Yi, this gun is a little different.”
Mo Ye was furious. She stood up and pushed her shoulder in his body. Her strength couldn’t be underestimated so he was knocked aside. He fell back and knocked into the wall.
“Mo Ye what are you doing!” That person resisted the pain, pressing his chest and staring at her in rage, “Did you get your gun through improper means? Why did you stop me from checking it?”
That guy was the chief’s secretary. Mo Ye knew him but they weren’t close. In the past, he sent hints to her but after she didn’t reply, things ended like that.
“I am saving all your lives so you better scram.” She stared fiercely, “I am here and won’t go to whatever Chief Liu. If you disturb me, I will kill you!”
The others were shocked at her reaction, they had never seen her so furious before. Moreover, Mo Ye and the others called him Chief Liu but now the way she addressed him had changed too.
Thinking back to her gaze when she returned, everyone guessed that something unhappy happened between them.
“You, you are going against orders, you will be punished!” He was not afraid of her and shouted at her.
Mo Ye took out a pistol and fired at him, hitting the wall beside his ear. The cement caused a shallow wound on his face and blood flowed out.
“You, you fired at me?”
The secretary was stunned and so were the others. They hadn’t adapted to the change of rules in the apocalypse.
“If you don’t scram then I will smash your brains.”
This time he turned and ran. He knew that if he didn’t leave then this girl would really dare to kill him.
Seeing his look of grievance when he left, Cheng Ze and Xia Lei sighed, “Little Ye you were too rash. How will you still stay on the team?”
Mo ye returned to her shooting position and picked up the rifle, “Then I won’t stay. Apart from you all, there is nothing worth staying here.”
“How can you say that!”
Cheng Ze had deep feelings for the team and when he heard his disciple say that, he was a little unhappy.
“Teacher, things aren’t as good as you think they are. Do you know what we are fighting for? What we will get?” She turned and said to her teacher.
“To be cannon fodder for Captain ye so that he can get things that are tens or even hundred times better than my gun. Apart from sacrificing ourselves, we get nothing. Our chief will get evolution potions for his wife, kids and himself and get a chance to be protected by the army. If you all manage to survive, then congratulations, you will manage to see him evolved.”
Cheng Ze and the others didn’t fire and looked at her in disbelief. Their minds were in a mess.
“Captain is that true?” Little Tiger frowned and asked.
Mo Ye nodded and didn’t continue.
“Argh!”
Cheng Long cursed and kept his gun. He just sat on the floor.
Peng!
Mo Ye talked but she didn’t stop shooting. Another gun hit the Zombie Ape’s knee such that it sat on the ground. It knew how to adapt, using the pillar to block its wound and not letting this mysterious enemy get a chance.
Mo Ye managed to hold this Zombie Ape back alone.
But if it was so easy to handle, then it would not be the mutated zombie that everyone feared. It stood up slowly, using zombies to block in front of it. Although it was five meters tall, but its knee was around 1.5 meters. These zombies blocked and Mo Ye couldn’t see it.
Mo Ye slapped the window in rage. She had only one more modified bullet so even if she changed targets it wouldn’t do much. Did she have to give up like that?
Right when she was thinking about how to deal with it, her gaze swept about something. She twisted her head and saw Park Xiuying fleeing in this direction!
