Chapter 254: Chapter 136: Hunting Level 2 Zombies_3
Wang Tao suddenly realized that he didn’t actually have a plan to prevent zombies from escaping—mainly because the hooded zombie was too fast and too agile; they simply couldn’t chase after it.
At this time, mad demon zombies had already started to appear in the vicinity, understandably because the recent explosion had been massive.
Han Rui and others on the outskirts began to deal with the mad demon zombies, trying to block their advance and prevent them from affecting Wang Tao and his group.
“It’s running away, should we chase after it?”
Xiang Hongbin immediately looked at Wang Tao. He thought they could pursue, but since this operation was following Wang Tao’s lead, he naturally wouldn’t act without orders.
Before Wang Tao could respond, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
“It didn’t run!”
Wang Tao saw the hooded zombie suddenly appear on the rooftop, and then it leaped, diving directly towards a certain area!
“Not good!”
Wang Tao had no time to explain, he quickly ran towards Lu Gang’s hiding spot, and at the same time, he activated his precise shooting ability, then threw two firefighter axes directly at Lu Gang.
From Lu Gang’s position, he couldn’t see the rooftop. He only saw Wang Tao suddenly running towards him, then throwing two flying axes his way!
This startled Lu Gang; if he was hit by Wang Tao’s flying axes, he’d probably be killed instantly!
However, before he could even dodge, he felt a shadow looming overhead. Instinctively, he looked up, only to see the hooded zombie descending from above, its sharp claws aiming straight for his head!
But at that moment, the two flying axes also arrived, striking the hooded zombie in the back. Although they only dealt a total of 53 damage, they successfully caused the hooded zombie to stagger, causing its claws to miss and viciously rake across Lu Gang’s chest instead.
Bang!
[-3548]
[1451/4999]
Lu Gang’s brown mask was instantly stained red.
But worthy of a battle-hardened warrior, in this critical moment, he raised his bow and arrow, and pressed against the hooded zombie’s face, he shot an arrow right into its gaping mouth.
Pfft!
[-154]
[600/7000]
The hooded zombie was left with only 600 HP!
“Hehe…”
The zombie’s upper and lower teeth snapped together, instantly breaking the arrow in its mouth, and it swung its hand again, aiming to grab Lu Gang’s head. If caught, Lu Gang would certainly be doomed!
But just then, Wang Tao finally arrived. He grabbed the hooded zombie by the neck and yelled out loud, forcefully yanking it up.
The hooded zombie was lifted single-handedly by him, swung in a half-circle in the air, and then was harshly smashed onto the ground!
Bang!
[-4)
[596/7000]
Xiang Hongbin charged again, this time he accurately targeted the hooded zombie that hadn’t had the chance to get up, and slammed into it.
[-43]
At the same time, he raised his firefighter axe high, cleaving it onto the hooded zombie’s face, accompanied by a shockwave.
[-44]
[-67]
[442/7000]
The hooded zombie was again harshly smashed onto the ground.
Wei Zhenguo seized the opportunity to charge at the hooded zombie, bringing down an axe on its head, the blow imbued with a shockwave.
[-36]
[-40]
[-73]
[293/7000]
The zombie that was trying to stand up was knocked down again, Wei Zhenguo and Xiang Hongbin pressed on the zombie’s body from both sides, tightly grabbing one of its arms. Their muscles bulged, veins on their foreheads throbbed, faces turned red with effort, and then both shouted in unison,
“Wang Tao!”
With an arrow that he’d just pulled from Lu Gang’s quiver in his hand, Wang Tao rushed in front of the hooded zombie, aimed for its other eye socket, and thrust the arrow down fiercely.
Pfft!
[-293]
[O/7OOO HP]
The second-order hooded zombie’s HP bar emptied!
Wei Zhenguo and Xiang Hongbin thumped down onto the ground, gasping for air.
“That was damn strong! If you’d been one second later, I probably couldn’t have held it off!”
Xiang Hongbin was still shaken.
Wang Tao quickly gathered up the package dropped by the zombie, and then immediately said:
“You guys extract the Crystal Core, I’m going to check on Lu Gang.”
Wang Tao ran back to Lu Gang, whose face mask was now even more bloodied.
He hastily lifted Lu Gang’s shirt, and involuntarily gasped.
The good news was that Lu Gang’s chest had a thin steel plate on it, and the zombie hadn’t managed to rip open his stomach.
The bad news was that the steel plate was deformed! There was a dent in Lu Gang’s chest!
In just this short time, Lu Gang had lost over three hundred HP, leaving him with only 1100 HP.
Wang Tao urgently removed the deformed steel plate and then took out a potion from the medical kit and injected it into Lu Gang. He then quickly treated his wound.
“Is Lu Gang alright?”
Wei Zhenguo and Xiang Hongbin, after extracting the Crystal Core, rushed over.
Seeing Lu Gang’s HP beginning to recover due to the medical kit, Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“His life should be saved. Let’s retreat now!”
While the conversation was lengthy, the battle with the hooded zombie had been quite brief. However, the area around the basketball court was already swarming with mad demon zombies, about to break through the defenses of Han Rui and the others. Wang Tao immediately yelled:
“Retreat!”
Then, gripping his firefighter axe in both hands and using all his strength to channel the energy within his body, he viciously swung at the empty air right in front of him.
Thwack!
[-2000 HP]
[-2000 HP]
[-2000 HP]
[…]
Mad demon zombies within a certain radius ahead instantly exploded.
Several vehicles were revealed not far away.
The group quickly rushed into the cars.
“Drive, drive, hurry!”
Vroom-
The car immediately started and sped along the pre-planned escape route.
Behind them was a tide of mad demon zombies as dense as a black flood, extending beyond sight!
“Damn it, why are there so many mad demon zombies!”
Xiang Hongbin, driving the car, felt his scalp prickle as he looked in the rearview mirror.
“Phew— ” After catching his breath in the back seat, Wang Tao spoke with vexation, “I misjudged one thing… Who the hell would’ve thought that the Self-Destruct Bomb would be so loud!”
Wang Tao had previously tested the Self-Destruct Bomb; the sound of one bomb was only slightly less than that of a self-exploder exploding.
But he hadn’t anticipated that the sound of five Self-Destruct Bombs exploding together would be so immense! He felt it was at least the equivalent of 20 Suicide Bombing Zombies exploding at the same time!
The likelihood was high that the explosive sound had already attracted the mad demon zombies inside the hospital, and it might even have caught the attention of that gorilla zombie!
If he had known it would be this loud, there would’ve been no need to fight the zombies in hand-to-hand combat; they could’ve just taken an automatic rifle each and fired at the zombies since there was going to be so much noise anyway…
Just as Wang Tao was thinking about the gorilla zombie, a series of “thud, thud, thud” sounds suddenly came from the street to their left.
“It’s the gorilla zombie! It’s coming!”
Han Rui, who was continuously using her Perception Ability, cried out.
“Crap!”
Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy!
Wang Tao immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and decisively ordered:
“Everyone make a right turn! Turn right! Hurry!”
