However, the black flames that Chu Xiu used shocked them.
No matter how they looked at it, Chu Xiu looked like a god that had walked out of legends.
He controlled the black flames and easily killed these zombies.
Soon, under everyone’s surprised gazes, the zombies enveloped by the black flames instantly turned into skeletons and disappeared with the black flames.
Gulp.
When someone saw this scene, they subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
If not for the scene just now and the traces of the attack, he would have thought that it had been an illusion.
However, when he saw that the others were also shocked, he knew that this was reality.
“M-Mr. Chu, thank you for saving my life.”
At this moment, Liu Zhengsheng immediately reacted and hurriedly thanked him.
At the same time, an idea appeared in his mind!
‘It might not be a coincidence that I met him at the supermarket.
‘Those zombies in the supermarket might have been killed by ATr. Chu!’
There were zombies everywhere else, and how could such a big supermarket not have any?
The underground garage was enough to show that there would be zombies here.
The reason why they had not seen any zombies was probably because Chu Xiu had eliminated the zombies.
Thinking of this possibility, Liu Zhengsheng lowered his voice.
At the same time, his attitude became very respectful because he felt that the other party was definitely not simple.
Although he had a gun in his hand, his gun had no effect on zombies.
And the methods Chu Xiu had just displayed made him feel that the gun might not be effective against Chu Xiu.
“Thank you, Mr. Chu. If not for you, we would all have died.”
“Thank you, thank you. It was horrible. I almost thought I was going to die.”
When the others saw Liu Zhengsheng’s actions, they hurriedly expressed gratitude too.
It could be said that Chu Xiu had saved them from this crisis.
One had to know that there were seven zombies just now. This number did not seem to be much.
Their team now had nearly 20 people, but there were not many of them when they split up.
Moreover, a few zombies were ridiculously strong. It took three people to temporarily stop them.
Without Chu Xiu’s help, they would not have been able to persist.
At that time, just the thought of what would happen would leave them with lingering fear.
Previously, those zombies were powerful, but because the humans were hiding everywhere, they fled and hid.
Therefore, they thought that zombies were just more disregarding their own lives than ordinary people.
In addition, it was easy for them to become zombies when they were injured, so they fled immediately.
At the same time, they all thought that as long as it was one-on-one, they could destroy zombies.
However, the current situation was a huge slap to their faces.
If not for Chu Xiu just now, it was unknown how many people would be left in their team.
Now that they realized that they were out of danger, they sat on the ground.
Especially Liu Zhengsheng and the others. They did not think much of it previously.
However, after heaving a sigh of relief, they all felt exhausted.
Their limbs were a little weak, but at the same time, they were emotional and a little tired.
They had been fighting for more than 10 minutes. During these 10 minutes, they had been focused on beating the zombies, not daring to relax at all.
Previously, when they had beaten up the zombies, they had felt like they had hit a thick leather sandbag.
Seeing that Liu Zhengsheng and the others were exhausted, Chu Xiu did not continue speaking.
He casually picked up a stool, sat down, and glanced at the remaining people.
After being swept by Chu Xiu’s gaze, everyone present was shocked.
This was because they felt that the current Chu Xiu was not the handsome man they had met previously.
Instead, he was like a ferocious beast, scanning everyone with a wild gaze.
“Mr. Chu, you’ve just helped us. I wonder if you have anything to say to us?”
When Liu Zhengsheng saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat. He felt that Chu Xiu was not a good person.
Chu Xiu gave him a very domineering feeling. He had only seen this feeling in the upper echelons.
Upon hearing Liu Zhengsheng’s words, Chu Xiu didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he asked, “Brother Liu, you don’t have to call me Mr. Chu all the time. Just call me Brother Chu®.
“I remember you saying before that you wanted to go out at night so that you could find your family, right?”
Upon hearing Chu Xiu’s words, Liu Zhengsheng did not take the first sentence to heart.
Those who had seen the higher-ups would know that the other party asking them to address you intimately was just an attitude indicating that the other party did not have any ill intentions towards you. It was just using a few words to get closer.
Hence, he did not pay much attention to the first sentence, but the second sentence hooked Liu Zhengsheng’s heart.
The reason why he planned to risk his life to go out at night was to find his wife and daughter.
One had to know that during the day, the zombies everywhere made it impossible for him to rush out.
If he attracted all the zombies, he would definitely die.
Now, after seeing the moon rise, those zombies had actually retreated for some reason, and returned the street to its empty state, making him think that this was a good time.
After thinking about a bunch of things, Liu Zhengsheng replied without changing his expression,
“That’s right, Bro Chu. After all, 1 really don’t feel assured about my wife and daughter.
“Coincidentally, all the zombies outside have run away. 1 still think this is a chance. My teammates and I already decided to look for our family members.”
Hearing Liu Zhengsheng’s answer, the other teammates agreed very much.
They had never fought zombies before. Now that they had really fought, they realized that if they went out like this during the day, they would definitely not be able to get out.
They would definitely be surrounded and killed by those zombies. There was no other possibility.
Just one zombie alone required three to four of them to deal with.
During the day, there were definitely many zombies outside.
If that was the case, the number of people needed to triple to resist.

Upon hearing Liu Zhengsheng’s words, Chu Xiu didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he asked,
“Brother Liu, you don’t have to call me Mr. Chu all the time. Just call me Brother Chu[i. Brother at the beginning was just older brother, whereas the second brother is more like bro, fam, pal, or something like that, and is often used to address who is just a bit younger than the speaker. It’s an affectionate term. Well, I will replace the second one with “bro” but it doesn’t really make that much difference in English since we have a different culture regarding those things.].
“I remember you saying before that you wanted to go out at night so that you could find your family, right?”

Just one zombie alone required three to four of them to deal with.
During the day, there were definitely many zombies outside.
If that was the case, the number of people needed to triple to resist.
However, in this environment, there were not many people. What they could see now was definitely more zombies than people, and there were many times more zombies.
“Everyone should have seen the blood moon now.”
Chu Xiu raised his hand, and pointed at the red moon outside the window.
When the others saw it, they nodded to show that they had seen it.
“Then 1’11 cut to the chase. The rise of this red moon will increase the strength of the zombies, making them all thick-skinned and harder to kill.
“At that time, the weakness of those zombies will no longer be weakness, because your attacks can’t break through its defense, so you can’t cause any damage.
“The weakness still exists, but when you can’t break a zombie’s defense anyway, this weakness will no longer be a weakness.”
Upon hearing Chu Xiu’s words, Liu Zhengsheng and company immediately felt a sense of urgency.
At the same time, they began to feel despair. They realized that they had no choice.
Those zombies were so terrifying. Now that they could become stronger, they simply didn’t give people a way out.
“However, this improvement is not permanent. After the moon descends, the mutated zombies will begin to become weak again. Moreover, they will be even weaker, and it will be very difficult to recover.
So, the reason why those zombies left was to find a place to hide from the moonlight.
“As for the zombies in the supermarket, it can be said to be a complete coincidence.”
Chu Xiu patiently explained the situation of the red moon to everyone.
When they heard that the red moon would not make the zombies stronger indefinitely, everyone began to heave a sigh of relief. They felt that they did not have to be so desperate.
“However, under the stimulation of the blood moon, other monsters will be born.
“Those monsters are all animals. Those animals won’t be affected by the disappearance of the red moon.
“And at night, it’s the animals that come out.
“You have to know that those mutated animals can already be seen as another breed of zombies.
“They are much stronger than zombies of the same level.
“After a domestic cat becomes a zombie beast, it will become huge under the care of the moonlight.
“At that time, their combat strength will become very powerful!”
