The four of them made a mad dash toward the entrance of the house and saw the carriage silently sitting there.

The curtains to the carriage were partially raised, and the solemn and cautious Qiao Hu was frequently looking outside with Xiao Lin’er in his arms.

When Qiao Hu saw the people darting over in the downpour, his face visibly relaxed and he joyfully called, “Father, Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt...”

“Lie down!” Qiao Mu suddenly shouted. Qiao Hu subconsciously rolled onto the floor of the carriage with Xiao Lin’er in hand.

Bang! In the blink of an eye, an odd-smelling rigid figure abruptly jumped down from the roof of the carriage.

The giant noise startled the horses at the front, and they neighed uneasily.

The monster was fiercely strong and pierced through the floor of the carriage with a single stomp; its leg was stuck in the hole, and it stiffly tried to pull it out.

Qiao Hu gasped in shock.

When the monster turned around, Qiao Hu was met with bulged out eyes on a deathly white face intently staring at Qiao Lin and him.

Panic rampaged through him, and Qiao Hu felt a chill seeping through his body.

“Roar.” The monster screamed and furiously reached for them.

Qiao Hu scrambled backward with Qiao Lin and randomly grabbed something in the carriage, fiercely throwing it at the monster.

The sack scattered and some clothing slipped out, being snatched by the monster’s sharp nails and ripped to shreds in an instant.

“Xiao Hu!”

“Xiao Lin’er—”

Swish! An astonishingly powerful iron arrow shot through the monster’s head in a close call.

The strange creature’s motions abruptly ended, and it fell down face-first on the ground, unable to stand up again.

Only then did the adults’ raised hearts slightly settle, and they turned to the little girl with a repeating crossbow in her hand. They felt like the ice on the girl’s face was chillier than the icy rain pouring over them, inexplicably eliciting a trace of fear in the bottom of people’s hearts.

“Get on!” Without waiting for them to regain their senses, Qiao Mu took the initiative to jump onto the carriage and effortlessly sent the fallen level one zombie flying out of the carriage.

The zombie heavily crashed onto the ground, its face facing the sky.

Wei Ziqin glanced at it nervously and involuntarily shouted in shock, “Isn’t he from Hei’zi’s family? The third uncle who was buried just two days ago? H-he—”

—crawled out from the earth?

When that thought entered her mind, Wei Ziqin felt cold all over and involuntarily shivered.

“Eldest Sister-in-Law, get on first!” Qiao Zhongxing urged in a hurry. He waited until she boarded the carriage before jumping onto the driver’s seat and pulling the rope straight with a shake of his wrist.

Qiao Zhongbang did not need any instructions and jumped onto the other horse, following the carriage in the rain.

In the pouring rainy night, a horse accompanied a carriage and rapidly charged out of the doors.

A commotion had erupted in the village already.

Many villagers ran out of their homes screaming. When they saw Qiao Mu and her family’s carriage, they chased after them while madly yelling.

“Second Uncle, hurry and leave!” Qiao Mu calmly ordered as she reached out to take Xiao Lin’er into her arms.

Their carriage was in quite a terrible shape. The zombie just now not only destroyed the roof of the carriage but also pierced through the floor. Currently, it was raining cats and dogs outside while inside it was raining kittens and puppies, uncomfortably wet everywhere.

Qiao Zhongxing was not dumb. He naturally knew that they could barely take care of themselves right now, so he made the horse madly dash forward without restraint, shooting straight for the village entrance.

The calmest one was the child, Xiao Lin’er.

It was a cacophony outside, but this girl was sound asleep while hugging her peach without showing a single sign of waking up. She was truly an oblivious child.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
