Chapter 149 - 149 Last Stand

149 Last Stand

The team members and the Awakened looked at each other.

They all understood the meaning behind his words.

Those who stayed behind to cover the rear probably had no hope of leaving this place alive.

“Captain Jin, I’ll stay!”

Lu Shuangshuang was the first to speak.

Her strength had increased a lot over the past few days, and she had reached the strength of a rank-three Awakened.

If she stayed, she should be able to play a significant role.

“I’ll stay too!”

“Me too. We’ve been teammates for so many years. How can we be separated?”

“Count me in, I’m going to kill to my heart’s content today!”

“I just Awakened yesterday. I can show off my skills today!”

All his original team members expressed their willingness to stay.

As for the few Awakened Ones who came from the outside, they appeared to be somewhat hesitant.

They obviously wanted to live.

“Lu, why don’t you stay?

“The survivors still need someone to lead them.

“Other than me, you’re the strongest here. It would be a pity if you were to die.”

Jin Bao advised.

“Captain Jin, who are you looking down on?

“I want to stay!

“This matter is settled!”

Lu Shuangshuang said, unconvinced.

Why should she escape?

“Ah…

“Alright,” he said.

“He Xiang, you’re in charge of bringing the people out of here.

“Don’t fight me over this. Your wife and children are also in the survivor group, right?”

Jin Bao patted one of his teammates on the shoulder.

He Xiang sighed and nodded.

It wasn’t just for his wife and children. Someone had to organize an evacuation.

“Alright, that’s it!

“Those who are staying behind, prepare for battle.

“He Xiang, you’re in charge of the evacuation. Take note, the elderly and children have priority in the vehicles.

“Regarding supplies, try to bring as many as possible, but don’t be greedy. People first.

“Everyone, move out! We don’t have much time!”

Jin Bao clapped his hands and ended the short but heavy meeting.

A group of people followed Jin Bao and rushed to the door to set up a line of defense.

The rest of them followed He Xiang to arrange the retreat.

At the entrance of the granary.

Jin Bao, Lu Shuangshuang, and the rest of the team started pouring gasoline on the road.

They were preparing to build a line of fire.

They had gained some experience from fighting zombies. The water content in zombies was much lower than that of humans, so they were especially easy to burn.

Fire was very effective against normal zombies.

However, a zombie tide formed by thousands of zombies couldn’t be burned out by this little amount of gasoline.

Moreover, there must be a lot of Mutant Zombies in the zombie tide, and those guys are not easy to deal with.

They would kill as many as he could.

After pouring the gasoline, Jin Bao led them to build a simple wall.

This was all he could do in such a short time.

“Everyone, find some weapons and prepare for the first wave of battle!

“Behind us are unarmed civilians!

“Their survival will depend on our performance!”

As Jin Bao spoke, he pulled out a piece of cloth and firmly wrapped it around his hand that held the handle of the fire axe.

This way, he would not lose his axe so easily.

The other teammates also took out their weapons.

Not far away, a large amount of dust flew up, and the trembling of the ground was getting stronger and stronger.

It was estimated that in less than two minutes, the tide of zombies would reach them.

More than a dozen people formed the last line of defense with their bodies.

Among them, some were trembling in fear, some began to cry, but none of them took a step back.

They knew that if they retreated, there would be an opening, and the chances of the survivors behind them retreating would be even smaller.

At the back door of the granary, He Xiang was organizing everyone to evacuate.

“The elderly and children first!

“Young and middle-aged men, walk!

“Take all the food you can!

“Don’t panic!”

He Xiang said through the loudspeaker.

They didn’t need to worry about attracting zombies at the moment. The noise had been covered by the roars of the zombies.

Although there were people maintaining order, the scene was in chaos.

Some had run in the opposite direction in order to bring their luggage, causing the door to be congested.

In order to get out as soon as possible, some people pushed others with all their might.

Some people even started quarreling over some food that they couldn’t take with them.

“Why can’t I get in the car?”

“I’m too fat, I can’t run. If you don’t let me sit in the car, wouldn’t you kill me?”

“Get down and give me a seat!””

A fat, middle-aged man pulled down a child who was about to get into the car.

Lu Mao, who was maintaining order by the side, had a cold look in his eyes.

“Captain Jin Bao and the others had risked their lives to buy time for everyone to evacuate, and you’re here fighting for a spot with a kid?

“Get down here!”

Lu Mao looked at the man and said coldly.

“Don’t you f*cking care about me?!

“Who do you think you are?!

“Do you know that I used to… Hey! Don’t do it!”

The man was dragged out by Lu Mao.

He knew at once that Lu Mao was an Awakened…

“Brother, don’t do it. I’ll walk on my own, alright?”

The man immediately gave in.

Lu Mao scanned his surroundings and realized that many people were looking at him.

The way he dealt with this man was likely to set the tone for the order of this evacuation.

Lu Mao took a deep breath and grabbed the man’s neck.

His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. His face was flushed red and he kept struggling.

“Lu Mao!”

He Xiang reminded him.

This seemed a little too excessive…

Lu Mao ignored him and exerted more force.

With a crack, the man’s neck was twisted and broken, and his whole body fell heavily to the ground.

The surrounding survivors let out many exclamations.

He really killed him!

Soon, all the survivors gathered their emotions and began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

From the looks of it, Lu Mao’s actions had put the hammer down on them.

“Alright, let’s not worry about the food!

“Let’s go quickly. Staying alive is the most important thing!

“Hurry up, the tide of zombies will arrive in less than a minute!”

He Xiang desperately urged the survivors.

More than a dozen cars and three buses carried more than 100 elderly and children away from the area.

There were Awakened Ones on the bus, so this group of people would probably survive.

The rest of the people ran in the direction of the cars.

Some of them ran and hid in the nearby buildings. In their opinion, they should be fine if they hid.

Some people had deliberately deviated from the main group, thinking that their chances of survival would be higher this way.

To be honest, in the face of the tide of zombies, all these actions were futile.

Even if they hid in the basement, they would be found by the alert Mutated Zombies.

“Alright, at least everyone has been evacuated.

“Let’s leave the rest to fate.

“I’m going back to help Captain Jin and the others!”

He Xiang took out an iron rod and walked in the direction of the tide of zombies without hesitation.

His wife and children were already in the car, so he had nothing to miss.

“Damn it, count me in!”

Lu Mao also followed behind with two axes in his hands.

The other two Awakened Ones were also invigorated. They gave up on running for their lives and followed He Xiang.
