Chapitre 19: Thrown to the Zombies
Éditeur: vb24
The 200-300 zombies couldn’t be underestimated as they were monsters that felt no pain. They were like perpetual motion machines as they would only die when their brains were damaged. They seemed to be startled upon meeting a large crowd of human beings, and they launched an extremely frenzied attack.
Zombies were the living dead.
Most of the humans in the resting station lacked fighting experience. Between them, they only possessed two guns with a limited amount of bullets. Their strength would slowly be consumed, and their spirit would eventually collapse.
If things kept going on like this...
They would definitely die here!
Chu Han and Chen Shaoye hacked and chopped desperately, but they could only block the zombies from ascending the stairs. As time passed by, dead zombies littered the staircase, the fluid leaking from their contorted corpses covering the steps in dark, viscous goo. The huge quantity of bodies formed a wall-like barrier. The remaining zombies were obstructed from advancing forwards.
Correspondingly, it became harder for Chu Han and Chen Shaoye to escape as their path was blocked by numerous zombies and zombie corpses.
It was difficult to move even one step. Chu Han didn't know how long he could continue wielding his axe. He felt that his arms were on the verge of breaking and that his back muscles would collapse with the heavy load straining it.
Chen Shaoye had become so tired that he was completely caked in sweat, and it dripped down from his clothes onto the floor.
Shang Jiuti also fired several shots, but the result was disappointing. Unlike humans, shooting the limbs and even the heart meant nothing to zombies. Only a proper shot to the head could kill them. Under such a tense and nerve-wracking situation, she failed to hit the zombies' heads even though she was an adept marksman.
Now, only a few bullets remained.
Chu Han didn't have the capacity to care about Ye Tianlong and his men since he might directly face with death if he made a mistake while chopping the zombies’ heads.
To kill such a vast amount of zombies was an impossible feat for these few survivors. Some people joined the fighting, but the result was barely noticeable. Due to their carelessness, many survivors were wounded by the zombies, and they gradually fell into a coma. Slowly, they were zombified, making the remaining survivors afraid of advancing into direct conflict.
Everyone was drenched in sweat. Gradually, the fortress formed by zombie corpses became higher and higher. It was now one meter in height. The mere sight of it made people feel disgusted. The zombies’ dim eyes were crimson red, and their yellowish brains were scattered everywhere. It was like an unmarked common grave filled with broken limbs.
However, the undead didn’t retreat. Instead, they pushed forwards relentlessly, waving their arms and sharp claws madly. They intermittently let out excited beast-like roars.
The countless pairs of pale pupils looked like the endless abyss.
Trapped in such an environment, people swooned with fright upon seeing the terrifying visage of a zombie, let alone continuously fighting with a horde of them for several hours.
Zhang Ziyu and Gu Xiaotong had no idea where to hide. They weren’t stupid; they realized that the current situation was a life-threatening one. They didn’t wish to die, and there were other survivors hiding in the room. They were afraid of zombies; especially a zombie horde which contained a vast number of zombies!
"Boss…" Chen Shaoye seemed confused, but his axe never ceased reaping zombie lives. "Will we die?"
Fear and desperation filled the survivors’ hearts.
Chu Han remained silent. His eyes were blurred, and he was on the verge of passing out.
[200 points obtained. The condition to upgrade physical strength to the first grade has been reached.]
It was the voice of meltdown system!
‘Physical strength can be upgraded?!’ Chu Han blinked his eyes excitedly. Without realizing it, he and Chen Shaoye had killed so many zombies.
"Ah—"
Eighteen’s sudden scream interrupted Chu Han’s train of thought. He was shocked as when he turned back, he was greeted by Ye Tianlong’s leering face. Ye Tianlong had managed to dispossess Eighteen of her rifle and wielded it in his right hand.
With his other hand he raised the small Eighteen and threw her into the zombie crowd in a cruel and bloody manner. Ye Tianlong knew that it was his only chance!
Now, everybody was fighting. Fighting with zombies instinctively caused people relax their guard against their peers. Unexpectedly, Ye Tianlong chose to attack Eighteen from behind at the moment when everyone was preoccupied with fighting!
It was foolish and cruel!
Eighteen was only twelve and she failed to respond to the sudden assault after enduring several hours of high-tension combat. Her gun was taken, and her small, frail body flew into the air as Ye Tianlong flung her into the ravenous horde.
Countless pale, rotten arms ending in sharp, filthy fingernails reached upwards. The zombies were driven into a frenzy. They trampled on their fallen comrades and vied amongst each other for a better position. Before, they could smell the human flesh, but they couldn’t eat it. Now the tender flesh was finally available for consumption. They opened their gluttonous and greedy mouths, displaying their huge, bloody fangs. They rushed towards Eighteen, intending to tear her apart. Her arms and legs were clamped in their vice-like grip, and they opened their mouths and prepared to sink their sharp teeth into Eighteen's soft flesh!
Eighteen’s innocent face was contorted in despair. Her pink bubble skirt was torn apart, and she was covered by the frenzied horde.
"Little Eighteen—" Shang Jiuti’s heart jumped, but she was frozen in fear.
"Beast!" Chen Shaoye shouted madly. He felt an intense wave of pity as she was only a twelve-year-old girl!
Ye Tianlong’s sheer lack of basic morality almost made him collapse onto the ground in despair. He stretched out his fat arms, desperately attempting to pull back Eighteen, who was on the verge of being consumed by the ravenous horde.
But someone was faster than him!
"Grade-one strength! Upgrade!"
A dark shadow rushed out like a ghost and leaped by stepping on a zombie’s head. His jump carried such power that it utterly crushed the zombie’s head. Its blood and pus-filled head burst like a balloon, scattering yellowish and white liquid all over the place.
The adjacent zombies had no emotions, and they subconsciously chewed the yellowish brains as they dropped down. They found the rotten brains delicious.
"Boss?" Chen Shaoye looked at Chu Han with shock upon seeing his monstrous leap. Surprisingly, his speed had surpassed the limits of a human being.
A large hand caught the ankle of Eighteen. Chu Han held her in his arms, firmly clutching her to his chest with his strong left hand! As Chu Han was imbued with a sudden burst of strength, he found that the previously heavy axe now felt exceedingly light. The axe was wielded skillfully, and the nearby zombies were chopped into pieces.
Although there was someone in his left arm, his killing speed wasn’t affected.
He rotated the axe in mid-air, crushing the skulls of the surrounding zombies. Chu Han’s clothes were now drenched with dark blood and brain matter.
His actions were so fast that when he dragged Eighteen back, the crowd had yet to realize what had happened. He even killed a few more zombies while retreating with Eighteen!
Chu Han wielded the heavy axe one-handed with ease, carving a bloody path through the zombies. Although there were still many zombies surrounding the building, a vast amount of zombie corpses were piled on the stairs, blocking the outermost zombies from entering.
However, there was only one exit.
They could no longer run out.
