Chapter 148: The apocalypse is no exception

A person who had never personally battled zombies would never know how terrifying they were.

They might be slow, their bodies might be stiff and they might have many weakness. If you were not afraid of them, you could even play with individuals and then stab your knife into their eyes.

But once there was a large group of them, you would see how terrifyin they were. You don’t know where a black decomposing hand would appear to scratch you. You wouldn’t know when a leg covered in thick pus would step onto you. You wouldn’t know when a mouth with sharp smelly teeth would rip off a piece of your meat.

Moreover, the zombie’s terrifying virus would shroud over you like dark clouds in the sky.

In the apocalypse, the most terrifying thing wasn’t the darkness that you could see. It wasn’t monsters whose evolution levels terrified humans. It was the zombie wave and the beast waves.

Be it humans or monsters, in front of those waves, they were as weak as a three year old kid.

Especially when most of the zombies evolved and their strength increased. They would become a group of death gods. They would wave their black scythes and threaten any race on the planet.

In his last life, Ye Zhongming experienced how terrifying it was. After a few close shaves, he had a phobia towards them. But now he knew that if he wanted to get rich and get more, he had to face these monsters.

He sucked in a deep breath and looked at the dozens of meters of zombies, he shouted loudly, “Fire!”

Li Qiang’s men and also a few base defenders who weren’t willing to come here started to fire.

Gunshots rang out in the sky above the base.

Scenes of blood and flesh spilling all over would cause people who were looking at it for the first time to vomit. Even Park Xiuying and Liang Chuyin who had followed Ye Zhongming for so long felt their stomachs churn.

But they knew that if they wanted to survive in the apocalypse, they would see such things often. So although they felt bad, they still looked on and waited for their chance to strike.

If not for the chaos last night, then with the organised defence of the base, they would be able to hold on for 10 hours.

But after the chaos, after Chef Jin and Director Wang was killed by Ye Zhongming, there was no more order in the base. No one was leading so it was tough to gather people here. Along with Li Qiang only have a hundred men, although they had guns but they didn’t have enough ammo so this couldn’t last.

“Stop!”

Ye Zhongming shouted and waved his arm. He tried to let the warriors fighting see him and hear his orders.

It was normal for these people to be unable to maintain a calm heart when facing these zombies so naturally they would miss. The zombies were close so they could maintain some accuracy but if they were far away, the bullets would fly far. After killing a bunch of them, Ye Zhongming told them to stop. While saving bullets, it also bought them some room to breathe.

Pulling the trigger seemed easy but in an intense fight, the nervousness would also consume large amounts of stamina and energy.

Jia Ming was holding Little Tiger’s gun. He fought while learning from Ye Zhongming’s actions.

In the space beneath the ruins, arms, legs, heads, blood of the zombies covered the area. Any normal human would feel uncomfortable when they saw such a scene. At least visually it was like htat.

But this couldn’t stop the zombies. They didn’t care about the deaths of others. What they cared about was tasting fresh blood.

After having hundreds of their kind getting killed, those who were still alive continued to charge.

Anyone who saw such a thing would feel a sense of despair.

They couldn’t kill them all. That feeling was just so annoying.

“Fight!”

Ye Zhongming ordered again and the guns fired. Bullets formed a net that scattered into the zombies below the ruins. n0VElusb.c0M

The zombies instantly fell like a bunch of wheat.

But this only lasted for dozens of seconds before the gunshots started to thin out. A moment later, the sound of guns disappeared.

They had used up their bullets.

During peacetime, naturally there wasn’t a huge storage of bullets. Even if the base tried to save up they still spent a large amount of them. Moreover, these people were all gathered here haphazardly and they brought bullets that they could fine. After they finished them, there was no more bullets.

“Those who aren’t willing to stay to fight the zombies can go. Those who are willing to say, I promise that if you are still alive, you will get an evolution potion.”

Ye Zhongming glanced at the hundred over people on the ruins and made his promise.

People started to struggle.

Everyone wanted to evolve. Many people were willing to give up many things to get an evolution potion. Apart from their lives. If they died then what was the use?

But this was also the closest many of them got to an evolution potion.

After all, they were promised.

Time paused at that moment and everyone started to have their own internal fight regarding their destiny.

Many people retreated. They didn’t want to die here but there were many who remained. They were planning to gamble.

Half a minute later, only 30 of them remained on the ruins.

Ye Zhongming pulled out Moon Edge and his gaze landed on the zombie hoard that were close. He was calm and after sucking in a deep breath, he slashed and it left a gap in the hoard.

“Attack, let’s see if we are lucky or not!”

Seeing that person charge into the hoard, many of the others on the ruins roared and followed suit.

When humans were forced into despair, many people would accept their lives, closing their eyes to die. Some would be stunned, closing their minds and waiting for destiny.

Some people would be unwilling to accept. Their hearts would be filled with rage and hope and they would choose to face it and fight back. Maybe such a battle would end in defeat, maybe others felt like the resistance was stupid. But such qualities were what allowed humans to survive from all sorts of dangers.

No matter the time, courage wass the hope of mankind.

The apocalypse was the same.
