Chapter 4, The Demon Joy

The majority of this group consists of death row inmates, with only a few federal soldiers present. Most of the inmates are armed with iron pipes and knives, while the federal soldiers are empty-handed, being pushed forward by the prisoners, clearly serving as a sort of human shield.

Lin Feng felt as if he were being watched by a hungry beast, his hair standing on end, lowering his head, not daring to meet the gaze of the murderer

It was not until a zombie bit down hard on her shoulder that Hu Fei jolted awake from the excruciating pain. A hint of panic and unwillingness finally appeared on her once frosty, oval face. Under the pressure of the horde, she reached out her hand towards Qin Lun and Xiao Lian.

"You don't need to worry about it, Boss Qin is doing just fine!" Lin Feng turned around and saw this scene, his face slightly changed, his body stiffened, and he glared fiercely at Lily, "Why don't you go ask him yourself if he's okay!"

The three of them rushed down two flights of stairs once again and finally encountered another group of people at the next hallway. Compared to Qin Lun and his companions, this group consisted of more than ten individuals, almost all of whom were injured. Among them were not only death row inmates but also federal soldiers in military uniforms, including the disciple Hansen and the transgender individual Lily.

After defeating the group of encircling zombies, the corridor ahead was clear. Although there were still scattered zombies gradually entering the safe passage below, it would not be an easy task to block it off like before.

Hey! Qin Lun's gaze flickered, a mischievous grin appearing at the corner of his mouth. With a single hand, he pulled Xiao Lian in front of him, using her as a shield.

At this moment, Lin Feng had long since changed from his suit into prison attire, while Xiao Lian, who was sandwiched between Qin Lun and Lin Feng, resembled a hostage, which was quite similar to the composition of this small team. The three of them silently walked at the back, quietly blending into this small group.

"You... be quiet, stop crying!" Lin Feng, sweating profusely, covered Xiao Lian's mouth with his hand and stole a glance at Qin Lun ahead.

"Damn, that's really fierce!"

Ah! You little brat, how did you learn to bite like a zombie!" Lin Feng had just let out a sigh of relief when a sharp pain shot through his palm. He saw Xiao Lian fiercely biting down on the web of his hand. "Let go, if you don't let go, I'll throw you to the zombies!"

Lin Feng did not rush out very far; just now, out of fear of Joy Foster, the force he exerted only allowed him to charge down one flight of stairs. Now, at the entrance of the next level, he found himself once again surrounded by a dozen or so zombies, struggling to fend off the approaching horde with an iron rod.

Excluding Hansen and Qin Lun, there are also 'The Shepherd' Hill, 'The Chameleon' Chekhov, 'Fireworks' Rand, 'The Clown' Grant... Damn, how could the base have gathered so many serial killers!" Lin Dashao's lips trembled slightly as he muttered a curse.

Qin Lun, should we stop for a moment? Let me bandage your wound; it will only take a few minutes

Reminded by Lily, Lin Feng involuntarily began to pay attention to the other death row inmates in the group, and soon a look of panic appeared on his face, with beads of sweat breaking out densely on his forehead

Xiao Lian fell silent, no longer crying or making a fuss, yet her tears continued to flow uncontrollably.

Lin Feng's face flushed with excitement, completely forgetting the fear he had just felt as the climax unfolded. He participated in organizing the death race precisely because he admired such brutality and violence, even considering it the essence of life

"Let her go!" Hu Fei's calm and elegant oval face revealed a hint of anger for the first time as she quickly ran over, lifting the medical kit with both hands and swinging it towards Qin Lun's head

"Silence!" Qin Lun, who was at the forefront, suddenly raised a hand, halted his steps, and slightly squinted his eyes, the red light in his pupils flickering faintly

Lin Feng's expression was grim; he had long noticed Qin Lun's leg injury. However, to him, both Qin Lun and the zombie were the same. As long as he could escape the base before both perished, that would suffice. Yet now, with so many death row inmates in the team, without Qin Lun as their protector, he and Xiao Lian feared they would not survive for long

Wow! After a few people hurriedly rushed down several flights of stairs, Xiao Lian, who had been half-supported and half-dragged by Lin Feng, finally came to her senses. She pouted and began to cry, her chubby round face instantly covered in snot and tears.

Ugh... The neck was being choked, and Xiao Lian's beautiful face quickly turned red. Her chubby little hands struggled to pry Qin Lun's hand away, and she couldn't help but whimper.

In Qin Lun's eyes, a fierce light surged as he released Xiao Lian, twisted his waist, and delivered a kick that struck Hu Fei's pert backside. Following the momentum of her forward rush, he sent the ice-cold beauty soaring into the air, crashing into more than ten zombies behind her, causing them to tumble into a chaotic heap in the corridor

Thank you, Xiao Lian! Qin Lun opened his eyes, as if he had just awakened from a dream. The hint of red light deep within his pupils had vanished, and his eyes were clear and pure, revealing a gentle smile of contentment on his face

The female zombie had one side of her cheek mangled and bloody, with a white skull exposed on one side of her head, and she was already on the verge of death

"Hi, handsome, we meet again!" The transgender woman Lily had somehow appeared beside Lin Feng, winking at him and teasingly saying, "It seems like you've changed your outfit, haven't you?"

"There are people talking downstairs, it seems to be living beings," Lin Feng listened attentively for a moment and then exclaimed with delight

Lin Feng was overjoyed and quickly supported the frightened and slightly trembling Xiao Lian, following closely behind Qin Lun.

The female zombie howled incessantly, dragging a long streak of blood across the wall from one side of her face, while the other two zombies helplessly fell down the corridor, taking down more than ten zombies behind them at the same time.

Hurry up! Qin Lun glanced at him, then stopped in his tracks, leaned against the wall of the corridor, closed his eyes, and淡淡地 instructed.

Ah! Hu Fei was taken aback, straining to twist her body. The heavy medical box barely slid past Xiao Lian's shoulder, but she herself lost her balance and stumbled past the two of them.

"Go, you two walk in front!" Qin Lun revealed a cunning smile, his right hand hidden behind his back, concealing a black dagger

It is too late; if you wish to die, you may return on your own!" Lin Feng sighed, releasing the arm of Xiao Lian whom he was supporting. After a brief pause, he added, "However, I hope you can cherish the opportunity for survival that she has bought for you with her life

Qin Lun's expression was devoid of emotion, his eyes mechanically shifted slightly, and the peripheral light from the corners of his eyes fell upon him

Lily's bright eyes sparkled as she let out a cold laugh. After speaking, she charmingly swayed her hips and gracefully returned to the center of the group.

"Shut up!" Lin Feng exclaimed in exasperation as he forcefully grabbed Lily's arm and lowered his voice to shout.

This has nothing to do with me!" Lin Feng turned his head and murmured softly

Qin Lun suddenly pressed one side of the female zombie's face with his left hand, firmly pinning her against the wall of the corridor. With a push of his feet, he kicked off the chests of the two zombies behind her, using the momentum of his body to plunge downward.

Seeing Qin Lun carrying Xiao Lian appear behind him, Lin Feng could not help but show a trace of despair on his face

Qin Lun's leg injuries were severe, with his calf pants completely soaked in blood. With every step he took, a vivid blood mark was left on the ground. Yet he appeared oblivious to it all; aside from a slightly pale complexion, his steps showed no hesitation, as if he felt no pain at all

Boss Qin Lun is truly a tough guy! However, don't blame me for not reminding you, do not let him bleed out and collapse. Otherwise, the two of you will soon be treated as pawns by other bosses, fed to the zombies blocking the way! We have already fed quite a number of people to the horde of zombies here.

Tearing open Qin Lun's pant leg, the two of them gasped in shock, only to realize that a large area of the killer's calf had been gnawed to a pulp by the zombie, exposing the white bones beneath. The severed muscle fibers trembled in the air, presenting a scene of unusual brutality.

"Forget it, they were just showing concern!" Lily's expression froze for a moment, she chuckled awkwardly a couple of times, and a hint of coldness appeared on her enchanting face

"What a rude man, you've really hurt her!" Lily shook off Lin Feng's hand, shot him a fierce glare, twisted her waist like a water snake, rubbed her wrist, and quietly glanced at Qin Lun, who was at the back, whispering, "It seems your leader is not doing very well"

It has already been bandaged; as long as there is no vigorous activity, it should gradually stop bleeding " Xiao Lian turned her head slightly, murmuring to herself with a blank expression.

Bang! The pile of corpses at the next hallway collapsed into a heap, struggling chaotically. The two zombies at the top, pinned down by Qin Lun, had a large dent in their chests, blood and foam spewing from their mouths, twitching weakly, clearly having sustained severe injuries

The Great Demon King Qin Lun... Xiao Lian turned around in astonishment, her beautiful big eyes once again brimming with glistening tears

Then you come back with me to save people!" Xiao Lian said with a sorrowful face, pleading with Lin Feng.

Sister Hu Fei, don't..." Upon seeing Hu Fei fall into the horde of zombies, Xiao Lian's face instantly turned pale, and she let out a startled scream

Help ... ... Help me !

Realizing that his life was completely intertwined with Qin Lun, Lin Feng no longer hesitated and cautiously fell back a few steps, lingering beside Qin Lun.

Hmph, this girl is still useful, keep an eye on her! Qin Lun tossed Xiao Lian to Lin Feng and stepped forward towards the group of zombies, kicking the nearest one away.

Qin Lun gazed at the more than ten zombies rushing towards him, his right hand twirling a black dagger around his thumb, a fierce and menacing smile appearing on his face. In the next moment, the killer spread his arms wide and leaped down from the corridor, pouncing towards the horde of zombies

"You two villains have killed Sister Hufei, I will bite you to death!" Xiao Lian wiped away a tear and said fiercely

Hey, you are quite lucky; compared to that self-righteous girl, Qin Lun prefers you! With this pile of flesh to satisfy his hunger, it should slightly delay the pursuing horde of corpses. Qin Lun looked at Hu Fei, who was struggling desperately among the zombies, and revealed a cruel smile. He took a couple of steps forward, hoisted Xiao Lian up by the waist, and chased after Lin Feng ahead.

The zombie at the front of the corridor is a young woman, her white coat has already turned into rags, and a black lace bra hangs loosely on her chest, exposing half of a snow-white breast, with a pink nipple perking up like a cherry

Hu Fei was rolling, her cold and beautiful face filled with confusion and disbelief. The ice queen, who had always been cherished like a treasure by everyone in the base, seemed unable to comprehend that one day she would be discarded by a man as if she were mere trash

These won't do, let me handle it! Watching Lin Feng clumsily tear at his prison uniform, the usually silent Xiao Lian sighed, crouched down, and pulled out a pack of spare bandages and a hemostatic agent from the pocket of her white coat. She had brought these from the infirmary as a backup, not expecting they would actually be needed now

Qin Lun stepped on the body of a zombie and broke through the encirclement, his pale face contorted into a grotesque expression, appearing even more hideous and terrifying. His two calves were a bloody mess, with the muscles bitten off by two zombies hanging down like ragged strips of cloth. Pressing down on the left hand of the female zombie, he was left bloodied and battered, having paid a heavy price.

Lily's voice is sweet and high-pitched, sounding somewhat affected and coy

Upon seeing Qin Lun and the other two, the group paused slightly. However, after Lily and Hansen exchanged a few quiet words, no one paid them any further attention and resumed their forward march. Both the prisoners and the few federal soldiers wore expressions of indifference.
