Chapter 300: 152 Tragic_l
Han Rui leaned against the corner, her face covered in blood, with a broken gas mask nearby. She felt that her mouth was the only part of her that could still move.
“It’s…” Xiang Hongbin struggled to lift his wrist, but he found his watch was shattered at some point, “I don’t know either… But it’s definitely late, the sky’s already dark…”
“We must be about to die…”
A survivor murmured to himself.
No one answered him.
Bang-
Wei Zhenguo, who was fighting the last four Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombies in the distance, was sent flying by one of the zombies, then he landed in the middle of the group.
“Heh… Old Wei, aren’t you ignoring the facts, saying you could easily handle these zombies?”
Xiang Hongbin forced a smile and said.
“Damn!”
Wei Zhenguo cursed as he struggled to get up, but his left leg gave out and he ended up kneeling on one knee.
The strength of these Level 2 Zombies was far less compared to the Hooded Zombies and Gorilla Zombies they had encountered before. But even the weakest among them was still a Level 2 Zombie!
Wei Zhenguo fought as if his life depended on it, and with the assistance of the others, especially the lethal shots fired by Lu Gang with his anti-material sniper rifle, they had barely managed to kill eight Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombies.
But there were still three left!
All the surviving combatants were at the end of their strength. Many were on their last breath, and facing these three Level 2 Zombies, they had no energy left to resist…
“Is today really the day we die… I can’t accept this!”
Wei Zhenguo felt extremely bitter.
He had just reached Level 2 today, thinking he would be able to dominate Shuize County, but as soon as he left the base, he encountered so many Level 2 Zombies… He was not willing to accept this!
“Hehe…”
In the darkness, three Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombies, along with a large group of Poisonous Fog Zombies, closed in on the group, and outside, a pack of Mad Demon Zombies was eagerly waiting for their turn.
Click-click—
The Security Army soldiers pulled their triggers, but no bullets remained.
“It feels like these zombies have become smarter… They didn’t just swarm and overrun us; are they actually enjoying watching us slowly perish?”
Ding Yuqin felt somewhat desperate.
Everyone was silent, with no idea how to answer.
There was indeed something off about these zombies. The base was already in dire straits—facing ten Level 2 Zombies along with countless Poisonous Fog Zombies and Mad Demon Zombies, after all.
But unexpectedly, most of the zombies suddenly stopped their attack. Some Poisonous Fog Zombies even deliberately tried to block the Mad Demon Zombies!
Only those Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombies and the ordinary Poisonous Fog Zombies surrounding them were still attacking the people. It was as if… the zombies were providing the survivors with a fair fighting chance?
Even so, everyone was on the verge of collapse…
It was already dark, with only the feeble light from the emergency lamps beneath the multi-purpose building providing any illumination. Where the light didn’t reach, among the green poisonous fog, the zombies appeared sporadically, creating a chilling scene.
Watching the approaching zombies, Wei Zhenguo was ready to fight against them when Ren Jie suddenly stood up.
“Now, it’s my turn…”
“Huh? Old Ren? What can your old bones do?”
Xiang Hongbin said with a weakness in his voice, showing his disdain.
“What can I do? Haha, maybe I can take one with me, cough cough…”
Ren Jie wasn’t a combatant and had been working in logistics at the back. Now that the ammo was almost gone, there wasn’t much logistics work left for him to do.
“You… what are you planning to do?”
Wei Zhenguo turned his head and glared at Ren Jie.
“Of course, I’m going to kill zombies! Haha!”
Ren Jie laughed out loud, and as he stood up, five more people stood up after him, all of them women.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Hongbin, as if remembering something, stared at Ren Jie in amazement.
“You—”
“Let’s go, follow me to kill zombies!”
Ren Jie took a big step forward, with the five women closely following behind him.
“Ren Jie!”
Xiang Hongbin yelled out.
Ren Jie turned to glance at him, then resolutely ran towards the swarm of Poisonous Fog Zombies, accompanied by the women, charging at the zombies.
The zombies noticed the targets and immediately ran towards Ren Jie’s group.
“Ren Jie—”
Wei Zhenguo roared.
They saw Ren Jie and the women collide with the zombie horde, and without even resisting, they were easily seized by the zombies.
Then.
Boom—
A loud explosion ensued, and Ren Jie along with the women became a cloud of blood mist.
Dozens of zombies were blown to pieces, including one Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombie!
“Ren Jie…”
Wei Zhenguo gazed at the vast cloud of blood, his expression somber.
He knew Ren Jie had fused with a Self-Destruct Crystal Core. The five women who followed Ren Jie were those unfortunate souls Wang Tao had previously saved from Cao Xin. Ren Jie had persuaded them to also fuse with Self-Destruct Crystal Cores.
Ren Jie probably didn’t expect that he would actually have to use his self-destruct ability, but he had been preparing for it all along.
The self-destruction of the six people not only killed more than a dozen ordinary Poisonous Fog Zombies, but it also killed one Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombie, leaving only two Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombies remaining.
It seemed as if there was some hope once more?
But there were still two Level 2 Zombies and countless Level 1 Zombies!
Was there really any hope?
“I… I think I might be able to kill a zombie too…”
Liu He, limping, walked over with a backpack, the zipper undone to reveal some red LEDs and various colored wires inside.
“So you want to be an idiot and throw your life away too?”
Xiang Hongbin immediately glared at him..
