Chapter 18 – Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404

Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 18

In the originally pitch-black night, there were only roaring thunder and pattering rain, and a sudden scream frightened everyone.

The guards on the second floor rushed down quickly.

As soon as they came down, they saw Kang Peng slumped on the ground, and the three or four-year-old girl in front of him was staring at him angrily.

One of her eyes turned out to be a strange blood red.

The red in her eyes seemed to be alive, slowly crawling on the white eyeballs, turning into weird lines, but as the little girl’s anger dissipated, she became afraid, and the red gradually crawled back to a place where everyone could not see.

Kang Peng has completely lost control, and his face couldn’t help showing a fierce expression.

Immediately, the sound of gunfire and human screams were heard.

The gun he was holding was already emitting white smoke, in front of him was an old couple hugging several other homeless people tightly. Their backs had been blasted by bullets, and their flesh and blood were flying like meat shield blocking all damage.

Kang Peng was panting heavily, and kept firing empty guns trying to kill everyone.

Others quickly approached.

Bai Xiao also bravely followed, but at a glance she saw Cheng Yu being thrown to the ground by Shi Qin.

Shi Qin almost covered Cheng Yu’s body, with his head tilted on his neck, in that posture… Bai Xiao was shocked and screamed.

There was a problem with the light just now, and everyone didn’t notice the abnormality on Cheng Yu’s side at the first time. Everyone saw it at this moment, and they took a breath. Guo Yi reacted immediately, the moment he raised the gun, Guo Yi’s action paused.

At the same time, several other people immediately prepared to shoot.

Cheng Yu’s shocked pupils saw this scene, and quickly shouted: “Don’t shoot, he didn’t bite me!”

As soon as Cheng Yu straightened his waist, he arched Shi Qin’s whole body, turned over, and held him down.

At this time, everyone could see clearly that Shi Qin was biting his own arm with such force that he seemed to bite off the whole piece of meat. After Cheng Yu pressed his shoulders, he began to struggle violently. He kept trying to move, but he still held his arm in his mouth and didn’t let go, as if he was afraid that he would bite someone.

Cheng Yu hurriedly wrapped Shi Qin’s chain around him, pulled off his own belt, replaced Shi Qin’s arm, and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he quickly handcuffed it on the shelf at the side, stood firm, and stared at Shi Qin tightly while panting.

“Shi Qin, you…”

Shi Qin was actually conscious, but his body was out of control. He almost bit Cheng Yu’s neck just now. Dr. Tang’s research didn’t conclude whether he can infect people. Fortunately, he made a immediate decision and exhausted his will to shift the angle, making him bite his own arm, and letting Cheng Yu escape.

I have to say that at that moment, Shi Qin was almost scared to pee. If Cheng Yu was finally bitten by himself into an awakened person, then he really would have wanted to die.

He just wanted to change the plot and felt the world’s strong malice towards him. Trying to let him infect Cheng Yu is simply forcing him to become a murderer.

On the other hand, he did feel the state of being controlled by an awakened person, as if he had become someone’s puppet, forced to do various actions, and that power was constantly increasing. He wanted to remind Cheng Yu, but he couldn’t make a sound at all.

Cheng Yu looked at him worriedly, and wanted to ask him, but found out that he couldn’t communicate, so he could only give up temporarily, and looked at the awakened person.

“Quick…kill them quickly!” Kang Peng’s cry continued.

Cheng Yu knew that Shi Qin’s loss of control must have something to do with the awakened person.

Bai Xiao and Guo Yi hurried to Cheng Yu’s side, concerned about his situation.

At this time, other team members had pointed their guns at the remaining homeless people, and other researchers were squatting at the stairs. The atmosphere was extremely tense. With the thunder and lightning outside, the air seemed to be burning with anxiety.

Soon intermittent crying came, and under the burst of shooting, the remaining three people were protected by the old couple.

The two corpses fell, and everyone could clearly see that one eye of the two old people turned completely red. The young woman held them in each hand, crying uncontrollably.

When she raised her eyes and begged everyone to spare their lives, everyone saw clearly that her eyes were also gradually fading red.

Looking at the little girl and the little boy again, they stared at everyone with horrified and resentful eyes, accusing the murderer and bystanders from a child’s perspective. But the sister hugged them and begged for mercy, and they could only cry along with her.

Everyone was stunned when they looked into the eyes of the two children.

These five wanderers turned out to be Awakened.

Why…how come so many awakened people suddenly appeared.

Why haven’t they been discovered by the Holy Corps, and why don’t they have the basic characteristics of the awakened ones.

Obviously, as long as it is someone who is abnormally awakened, there should be a fixed red line on one eye. It should look like an obvious mandarin duck eye. Only when the mental power is activated, then both eyes will change into red.

But the situation here is completely wrong, as if…

Bai Xiao suddenly approached the two corpses, the little boy rushed out, hugged the corpses of the two old men, cried and stammered, “Don’t touch… grandpa….. Grandpa…..! You devils……..! “

But everyone hurriedly called Bai Xiao to be careful, and didn’t listen to the little boy at all.

After all, in their eyes, the awakened ones are the real demons, and they themselves are the human beings who eliminate demons and defend the world.

Cheng Yu immediately went to protect Bai Xiao, and also guarded against the awakened ones, ready to shoot at any time, but his palms were a little hot and sweaty, and his gun hadn’t been pointed at unarmed women and children yet.

The young woman was afraid that they would start to kill again, so she quickly pulled the little boy back.

Bai Xiao squatted down with speculation, and took a closer look at the eyes that were dying, the eyes that didn’t turn red, and…the pupils didn’t change.

Bai Xiao’s expression changed slightly, and she immediately borrowed a dagger from Cheng Yu, and stabbed it into the unchanging eye, the strange voice and the frozen tip of the dagger explained everything.

“It’s…fake eyeball, they…” Bai Xiao glanced across the remaining three awakened people in shock.

No wonder everyone thinks their eyes are weird, and they panic when looking at people.

Because they dug out the eyeball representing the awakened person and reinstalled fake eyeballs.

Although they don’t know who made it for them but this technology can really cover up the fact that they are an awakened person.

Is this why they are still alive and not killed or captured? Because… the only feature that can identify them as awakened is gone.

If it weren’t for the frightened children, and them losing control of their mental power, which exposed their identity of being awakened, the two of them would have successfully hid their identities until they left.

“What should I do?” Captain Jiang asked Cheng Yu nervously.

“It’s still a question, of course there will be no mercy for them!” Kang Peng shouted hastily.

Many people in the back also shouted to act quickly and avoid future troubles.

According to the regulations, there is a difference between killing and arresting by the holy army. In the absence of the holy army, there is no special arresting device, and other people can only kill the awakened people without mercy.

“Please, don’t kill us. We are very weak. Except for our eyes turning red when we are afraid, we can’t control the zombies. Please pretend you didn’t see us. We… We are also human, and we don’t want to hurt other people at all.” Although the woman is weak, she still insists on protecting the two youngest children, which is more humane than the people present here.

But at this moment, most of them are hard-hearted, and their sympathy can never be shown to the awakened people. After all, the plot was arranged in this way so that the deaths of several family members and lovers in their group are related to the awakened people, and some people even witnessed it with their own eyes. People who have witnessed the brutality of the Awakened have fear engraved into their souls, and it is impossible for them to let the Awakened people go.

The woman held the two children down and kowtowed together, their heads were broken and bleeding, but still no one spoke. Everyone watched indifferently, as if the god of death was ruthlessly examining the soul that was about to be reaped.

Cheng Yu and Bai Xiao are actually hesitant in their hearts. They have been living in the White Wolf base, and they have just come out to carry out their missions. They have never encountered a strange awakened person at all. Looking at the strangely awakened person in front of them and the rumored violent and bloody description that they heard from others is really not quite like it, and they can’t help but feel a little guilty. Especially when they know how self-harming it is to gouge out their own eyes in order to live, just to avoid being chased and killed.

A seed of doubt was planted in the bottom of the heart.

One of these two people became the backbone of the corps team because of the incident that let them escape from the city unscathed, and the other is from the research team and almost on par with Dr. Tang, and she was the only daughter of the administrator.

Therefore, the two main leaders did not move, and neither did the others.

Suddenly Tang Sien rushed up and shouted loudly: “Why don’t you do it quickly, have you forgotten the blood moon tragedy? Do it quickly! Brother Cheng Yu, kill them quickly!”

She lost control of her emotions and was stopped by Dr. Tang. She yelled fiercely and even tried to snatch other people’s guns. This was the first time everyone saw such a strange Tang Sien.

“Father, don’t stop me, they are Awakened, they are demons, have you forgotten how grandpa and grandma died? All Awakened deserve to die!” Tang Sien, such an arrogant and indulgent young lady was crying in front of everyone, with snot and tears flowing down, and she cut an extremely embarrassed and sorry figure.

And what she mentioned made everyone’s hair stand on end.

The blood moon tragedy, an event engraved in human history, is the darkness that can never be erased from the hearts of all surviving humans. Because that represents another kind of despair after the zombie outbreak. It seemed that this earth is no longer ready to give human beings a chance to live.

“I’m coming!” Yin Changlin suddenly pulled the bolt of the gun, his face no longer had the youthful vigor of the past, but was full of determination that looked like ‘it’s either you die or I die’.

Yin Changlin was about to shoot, but Cheng Yu grabbed the gun.

“Deputy head! They are Awakened!” Now Yin Changlin’s scarlet eyes are more terrifying than those of Awakened. Cheng Yu naturally understands his feelings. Yin Changlin’s family members were all killed by zombies under the influence of Awakened. It’s only natural that he would hate the Awakened.

“I have questions that I must ask them clearly.” Cheng Yu said firmly.

Although Yin Changlin was angry, he didn’t dare to defy Cheng Yu, so he could only put down his gun in embarrassment.

Cheng Yu walked up to the homeless man, raised his gun and said in a cold voice: “You better control your emotions, if someone activates their mental power again and their eyes turn red…” As he spoke, the sound of a bullet being loaded came.

“Cheng Yu, what are you going to do?” Bai Xiao consciously stood with Cheng Yu, wondering.

“Aren’t you surprised? They haven’t activated their mental power now, but Shi Qin hasn’t recovered…and… Shi Qin hinted that there might be zombies approaching before. If Shi Qin’s prediction is correct, then there might be more of them around here. Such an awakened person may be the only one who can really awaken the ability…”

Having said this, everyone realized what this means and their faces were pale, yes, it is very possible.

Their brains are still smart, so it is easy to think that if the homeless in front of them are really powerful awakened people, they will be safer if they walk with zombies, but they are also far away from zombies, which proves that they are afraid of zombies, so they do not have the ability to control zombies. Then who is influencing Shi Qin?

“Say, who else?” Cheng Yu asked coldly. It was of course the young woman he asked.

The woman quickly shook her head, “There are only five of us.”

“Then how do you explain this?” Cheng Yu pointed to Shi Qin.

At this time they also saw that Shi Qin was a zombie.

The three awakened people had no time to be surprised, and the woman quickly explained: “Our eyes turn red only when we lose control of our emotions. We really don’t know what’s going on.”

“You’re lying.” Cheng Yu’s eyes turned cold. Although he questioned the woman, what he saw was the expressions of the little boy and the little girl. He could tell that they were hiding something, but what he was subconsciously worried about was that if the current situation could not be changed, then… it would really be a disaster.

“I…I really don’t know.” The woman insisted through gritted teeth.

“Kill one and see if they say anything.” Guo Yi directly suggested coldly.

At this moment, Huo Zixuan’s voice suddenly sounded excitedly.

“Captain, deputy head! It’s not good, there are zombies swarming outside, and they are only… ten meters away from our convoy!”

Everyone’s faces were blank for a moment, and they looked outside.

Something is slowly approaching in the black rain curtain, with the smell of rot and death.

The stench so strong that the nose can smell, that is… how many zombies are there exactly?
