BXBX NOVEL Chapter 301: 152 Tragic_2
The last bomb I just made is very stable!”
Liu He swallowed hard and walked straight toward the zombie with his backpack in his arms.
The bomb was indeed stable—because it was a semi-finished product. He didn’t have time to make a remote control, so he had to detonate it by hand.
“Liu He, don’t be foolish!”
Wei Zhenguo quickly shouted.
Liu He was a rare technical talent, and if he survived, he would be highly valued in any settlement, even in the post-apocalyptic world!
Liu He turned to glance at Wei Zhenguo, then looked at the bite mark on his arm before shaking his head with a smile.
He was already infected and could only rely on inhibitors to stay alive.
Plus, he was someone who hated pain and was cowardly. He didn’t want to experience the excruciating pain of using an inhibitor again.
So, he chose to escape and, by the way… perhaps this could count as being a hero for once?
“Liu He!”
Boom—
A dazzling fireball lit up the entire night sky.
Accompanied by a huge explosion, the glass in all the nearby buildings shattered.
The air was sucked into the center of the explosion and then led to a secondary blast.
Boom—
The terrifying heat wave and shockwave spread in all directions, blowing the survivors away. Xiang Hongbin even got a mouthful of mud.
“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, you little brat! Wait till I get down there, I’ll beat you up!”
Xiang Hongbin cursed as he looked at the fireball.
This explosion was much more powerful than the self-detonation earlier, not only killing another Level 2 Zombie but also wiping out a large number of Ordinary Poisonous Fog Zombies nearby!
Moreover, when the bomb detonated, it burned all the oxygen nearby, creating a localized vacuum. As the surrounding gases were drawn in, they brought along much of the green poisonous fog and caused a secondary explosion.
This second explosion completely burned off the green poison fog in the area! The air around the comprehensive building instantly became fresh, significantly alleviating the survivors’ feelings of weakness!
“Hehe…”
“Roar-”
The Poisonous Fog Zombies that were in “spectator” mode became agitated, wanting to rush into the flames, but the intense heat made them halt.
Some circled around the fire, appearing restless; others looked toward the survivors but just stared at them without approaching.
“Now it’s my turn…”
Xiang Hongbin stood up enduring the pain.
He held the last two homemade bombs in his hand, not sure if they would be enough to kill a Level 2 Zombie, but he had to try.
Just as he got up, a large hand stopped him.
“There’s one last Level 2 Zombie left, and it… is mine!”
Wei Zhenguo displayed an ugly smile on his face.
The deaths of two important companions had filled Wei Zhenguo with extreme anger. Under this rage, he suddenly felt as though the pain in his body had vanished, replaced with a surge of strength!
He didn’t know if this was a “return to light” moment, but he knew it was his time to act.
“Are you up for it? Cough, cough…”
Xiang Hongbin looked at Wei Zhenguo and mocked.
“Heh, certainly more than you are!”
Wei Zhenguo took a deep breath and then charged straight to the last Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombie.
This zombie had also been hit by the explosion, with its left side skin completely torn, bones even visible.
But a zombie is still a zombie; as long as its head was intact, no matter how severe its injuries, it wouldn’t die.
Bang!
Wei Zhenguo, wielding his now-blunted axe, smashed it on the head of the Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombie.
The zombie didn’t dodge. After taking the hit, it immediately reached out to grab Wei Zhenguo’s chest.
Relying on his steel armor, Wei Zhenguo didn’t dodge either, bearing the zombie’s attack and fiercely chopped twice more on the head of the Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombie.
Squish—
The final axe blow finally shattered the zombie’s skull.
After killing the Level 2 Zombie, Wei Zhenguo’s held breath finally gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Level 2 Zombies, not—and are nothing more…”
Wei Zhenguo smirked.
Now he had no strength left at all, unable even to wield his axe, let alone walk.
As he saw Level 1 Toxic Mist Zombies closing in from all around, Wei Zhenguo closed his eyes. He had done his best.
Bang—
Suddenly, a faint white light flashed by.
Wei Zhenguo opened his eyes to see Xiang Hongbin, having somehow charged to his side.
“Old Wei, I admit you’re better than me. So, you’ve got to survive, hear me!”
Xiang Hongbin, his face covered in blood, grinned and then grabbed Wei Zhenguo’s arm, using all his might to throw him.
“Xiang Hongbin—”
Wei Zhenguo felt the world spinning and instinctively closed his eyes.
Thud—
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Xiang Hongbin being overwhelmed by a group of zombies, disappearing into the darkness while he had landed beside Lu Gang.
“Old Xiang!”
Wei Zhenguo’s eyes reddened.
Lu Gang clenched his fists tightly.
The survivors grieved in silence, unable to hold back their tears.
“Wang Tao, when will you wake up…”
Watching one familiar face after another depart, Han Rui silently chanted Wang Tao’s name in her heart.
Alas, she no longer had the strength to go inside the building; she didn’t even know if Wang Tao would be killed by the green smoke.
“Everyone, cough, cough… the Level 2 Zombies are all dead, and the poison smoke has been dispersed. Let’s go back inside the building, rest for a moment, and then deal with these Level 1 Zombies!”
