Chapter 576 - 498: One Wave Unsettled, Another Rises
Wu Baokang steadied his steps without hesitation, drawing a steel rod he had brought from Celestial Horse Island, and swooped down from the sky directly toward the zombie.
The zombie that had just pounced on an Ordinary Member like a Fierce Tiger was now, having fallen to the ground, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, while Wu Baokang was the fierce tiger.
Since yesterday, he had been holding back his anger, unable to beat Zhang Su, he could only vent with words, but ended up having his mouth shut. Now he finally got the chance and decided to release it thoroughly.
Poof!
With the force from his airborne leap, the steel rod pierced through a zombie’s head on the spot, stabbing right through, and the steel rod made a clang as it touched the ground.
Adjusting his force to stand firm, he easily drew the knife he had re-equipped and without hesitation targeted a zombie that had not yet managed to get up. Unfortunately, the blood on the ground was too slippery, causing him to miss slightly, only stabbing the zombie’s neck, but it effectively restricted its movement.
Pu chi, pu chi.
A second attack followed immediately, and the venting slaughter quickly killed the zombie.
"Damn, you moved so fast, didn’t leave any for me!"
Lu Yubo rushed up with the Yama Corps’ main force only to find that the four or five zombies climbing the building had been dealt with by them, leaving him empty-handed.
"There’s plenty outside for you to kill!"
Wu Baokang was speechless at Lu Yubo, who was a bit too excited.
The corridor was narrow, and the group rushed into the ground floor hall at the first opportunity, only to encounter three fearless zombies charging toward the crowd, knocking down two of the lead combatants before they even figured out what was happening, scaring everyone.
"Die!"
"Damn..."
Wu Baokang and Lu Yubo were right beside the fallen combatants, and after quickly reacting, they attacked the zombies, giving the fallen the chance to get back on their feet, feeling relieved.
Whether looking down from above or during the brief skirmish in the stairwell, none in the group had a clear sense of the zombies’ increased strength until now when a companion was sent flying by one!
If not for the assistance of two fierce warriors, the two might have met their end. Luckily, there was strength in numbers, but even so, they must not underestimate the zombies’ increase in power...
"The zombies are much stronger than before, everyone be careful!"
Zhang Xin, who had just fought, was swept by a zombie’s wildly swinging arm on the thigh, and the immense force almost knocked him over, something impossible before.
"I didn’t feel how strong they are, brothers, follow me, kill!"
Wu Baokang, filled with killing intent, charged out with his men.
Indeed, over fifty combat personnel were extremely valiant; with just one encounter with the zombies, they had already killed a dozen. With superior numbers and formidable combat power, those terrifying zombies, who Ordinary Members couldn’t handle, fell one after another.
"Told you they’re just like that, haha."
"Better get serious, don’t get caught in your own pride!"
Wu Baokang laughed loudly, and Wu Daqiang, not far beside him, reminded him with a frown.
"What’s there to fear, there’s more over there, just watch me..."
Wu Baokang’s words had barely fallen when he heard a crash and clatter...
The sound of glass shattering indicated that something worse had occurred.
"Not good, the door’s been breached!"
"Everyone run, a lot of zombies are rushing in!"
People upstairs who could see the mall entrance shouted, their voices trembling.
"Weren’t there just those dozens in the pedestrian street, where are these zombies coming from head-on, is someone causing trouble?"
Taking advantage of the limited light, Wu Baokang saw the horde of zombies rushing in through the main entrance, reminding him of a scene from a sale with at least two to three hundred!
"Who the hell knows, damned it!"
Zhang Xin gritted his teeth, the hand holding his weapon was sweating.
The process of killing zombies had sounded sharp before, but they hadden’t killed more than forty or fifty, roughly equal to the number of combatants. Compared to the previous battles outside Celestial Horse Island, this achievement was nothing.
If they encountered another large group, they might crumble!
Bang bang, bang bang bang...
Though Tan Huajun had good shooting skills, he suffered from the lack of Super Vision like Zhang Su, having to take time to aim in the dark. Even so, his kill speed was terrifying, with one zombie after another falling, but compared to the incoming numbers, it was just the tip of the iceberg.
"Quick, open fire, quickly open fire...damn it!"
Ratatatatatata...
Wu Baokang, disregarding everything else, saw the zombies charging into the mall like madmen, pulled the trigger, and sprayed bullets.
Bang bang bang, bang bang...
Very few reacted quickly to use guns - besides Wu Baokang, there were only Wu Daqiang and Big Head from the Civilization Guardian, along with Lu Yubo, Pan Guoliang, and Zhang Ya from the Yama Corps.
Others either had poor positions, fearing friendly fire, or were too inexperienced and flustered...
Six guns, even emptying the magazines would only fire around two hundred bullets, against countless zombies, was a mere drop in the bucket.
Sure, some zombies were shot and fell, but if someone accurately calculated, they would find that the number this six-gun barrage took out was about the same as Tan Huajun’s tally!
Awoooo, awooooo...
Without giving the combatants more time, after one round of shooting, the leading zombies switched direction and dashed toward the crowd!
