Chapter 23 – Pea Bullets

As soon as the front feet of these people left, Zhang Yun immediately went to lock the door and asked Su Ruizhe to put the rest away.

Don’t joke me, what a waste of material it would be if left in such a large warehouse! It must be taken away!

“Eh… Don’t leave me alone, A’ Zhang!” Seeing that he was left alone to take care of the young man, Song Chengshu immediately became angry. He was actually a little afraid. What would he do if the man had bad luck and really became a zombie?

“Look!” Zhang Yun turned around angrily and slowly said, “You have a knife. If his skin becomes dry and his face turns blue, you can stab him in the head immediately.”

“You said it as if it’s easy…” Song Chengshu grumbled reluctantly.

Su Ruizhe could not help laughing at what he said. “Don’t worry, brother Song. It’s been an hour. He would have already changed.”

By the end of his last life, the research institutes established by human beings had a certain understanding of the zombie virus, which is highly infectious and can cause destructive damage to human cells. After being scratched or bitten by a zombie, the slightly infected person will die within six to twelve hours and mutate. But being bitten so bad by a zombie like the young man should be a serious infection that can’t be resisted for an hour.

But there are also some people who have special antibodies that can collide with zombie viruses as if they were fighting in the body. If the antibody wins, the cells in the body will be greatly optimized and improved to awaken the power.

It usually takes more than three hours to wake up, during which the awakened person will fall into a coma, accompanied by signs of high fever, etc. The stronger the power, the longer the coma time will be. Like the young man in front of him, as long as he can carry on, he will wake up and become an ability user.

After hearing what was said, Song Chengshu calmed down his mind, and began to look around for useful things, and called Su Ruizhe to put them away. In the end, the whole warehouse was almost empty except useless electronic equipment, and the rest was taken into the space by Su Ruizhe.

“We’ll get out of here soon, too.” When Zhang Yun looked at the sky, he noticed that it will be dawn in about an hour. More people will come out to look for food, and more zombies will be attracted by the living people. It will be difficult for them to get out without being noticed.

“What about him?” Song Chengshu took a look at the young man who was still asleep.

“You hold him, Xiaozhe and I will protect you.”

“Oh…” Song Chengshu had to carry the young man as he followed those orders. Although he was a doctor, he would go to the gym to exercise. He had a bit of strength.

After Zhang Yun put his ears on the door and confirmed that there was nothing else going on outside, he opened the door of the warehouse and went out quietly.

All three of them wore soft-soled, light sneakers which did not make much noise.

Zhang Yun took out the flashlight and went to the front to explore the way. Su Ruizhe also took out the flashlight and carefully observed the rear. Song Chengshu carried the young man who had a fever and was protected by the two men in the middle.

They followed the back stairs down the road to the back door but found a large pool of blood on the ground. Zhang Yun’s pupils shrink, and he shines a torch in his hand. He finds sprays of blood everywhere on the wall. Outside the back door, he also found a bitten arm with only bone.

The scene of this murder scene shocked Song Chengshu. If he hadn’t exercised restraint, he would have vomited.

“What, what… What happened?” Song Chengshu’s voice was trembling.

Zhang Yun’s eyebrows wrinkled tightly and made an action to signal Su Ruizhe and Song Chengshu not to follow him. He walked slowly to the door, reached out and quietly opened the door a little.

The night breeze carried a faint bloody smell towards Zhang Yun’s face, which made his heart alarmed. He retreated sharply, avoiding the rapid darkness and closing the door.

Zhang Yun immediately shone the torch into the dark outside the door, he saw scarlet eyes and sharp tusks. It was a German Doberman with slender, powerful limbs, flesh and blood on the back, apparently attacked and infected by a zombie. There are traces of flesh and blood in its teeth. Obviously, it has just attacked something. Maybe the bloodstains in this area are caused by it.

“It’s a zombie dog! Be careful, Brother Zhang!” Su Ruizhe’s face immediately changed after he saw the dog’s appearance. Unlike the zombies transformed from human beings which did not have the ability of having human behavior. These animal zombies would not have the initial stage of rigidity like human beings. They were completely following their instincts. They were more aggressive and lethal than ordinary zombies.

Just now, the speed of this zombie dog has surprised Zhang Yun a little. The police dog used in the police academy was like the German Doberman dog, this kind of dog is very strong in speed, strength, and aggressiveness. Now the Doberman infected with the zombie virus will only become more aggressive. Despite the door, it was still making Zhang Yun’s forehead filled with cold sweat.

His gun was pinned to the back of his waist, but he had no chance to get it. With the speed and strength of the zombie dog, I’m afraid he could bite his neck in the blink of an eye!

He gripped the knife in his hand forcefully and gazed intently at the zombie dog in front of him, daring not to relax at all.

Next moment, the zombie dog pounced in Zhang Yun’s direction, smashed the glass door and plunged straight over to Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun rolled sideways, slashed his knife upward, cut open the belly of the zombie dog, sprinkled intestines and blood, all at once came out, but it did not seem to have any effect on the dead dog. With a low roar, the zombie dog rushed again toward Zhang Yun.

The position of the stairway entrance is very narrow, and Zhang Yun is forced to the corner of the wall, which is unavoidable.

Zhang Yun gripped the handle of the knife more forcefully and stabbed it towards the head of the zombie dog. But his luck was really bad. The kitchen knife cut into the skull of the zombie dog, but its skull was too hard to split. Instead, it was deeply stuck there.

Zhang Yun’s arm felt numb and the handle of the knife suddenly broke off. The zombie dog seemed to be enraged. He opened his mouth wide and bit towards Zhang Yun’s neck.

Zhang Yun’s teeth were clenched tightly, his right hand clenched into a fist, ready to fight to the death and give the damn zombie dog a second death.

The rotten odor of the zombie dog has sprayed directly onto Zhang Yun’s face. At this moment, he heard a “boom” sound. The zombie dog’s huge body shakes and finally falls down.

Zhang Yun leaned against the wall and gasped harshly. After looking at the bloody hole on the head of the zombie dog under his feet, he looked in the direction of Su Ruizhe.

Su Ruizhe was holding a toy gun in his hand. It was he who shot the zombie dog to death just now.

Toy gun?! Killed the zombie dog?!

You must be fucking kidding me?!*

*It said TM in the raws which is internet slang used for cursing without showing it*

Song Chengshu looked at Su Ruizhe with an expression of seeing God.

Su Ruizhe scratched his chin with his hands embarrassingly. “Well, as I said before, I also have a wooden ability… It’s just a bit of a variation… We can weaponize plants…”

He spread out his palms, on his white palms there was a few green rounded——peas.

Then he grasped a pea with his left hand and opened his palm again, turning it into a turquoise bullet and stuffing it into the toy gun’s handler. The gun was now ready.

Su Ruizhe raised the gun, fired a shot at the wall, and lightly punched a hole in the wall. The effect was no different from a real gun.

Amazing, my little sage…

The author has something to say:

[Small theatre on the street]

Su Xiaozhe: I didn’t want to get any more supplies, but since they invite us so sincerely, let’s go. When nobody notices, I touch, I touch, I touch again… Well, that’s all for today.

Zhan Xiaoyun: Wifey, I saved people. Am I a special commander?

Su Xiaozhe: emmm*, terribly handsome. →_→

*It was in English in the raws*

Zhan Xiaoyun: I know I am the most handsome in your heart!

Background characters: Ah, he has a wound!

Su Xiaozhe: Ha ha. →_→

Zhan Xiaoyun:… Wifey, don’t be afraid, we still have the halo of the protagonist, we also have luck, we must believe that this will certainly become an important supporting role!

These chapters are thanks to Jali and Jessie! Here’s the last chapter for today and the rest will be posted tomorrow!

The veggie weapons have arrived!! This was scary but also really exciting and awesome. I’m glad that the author wasn’t mean and I didn’t have to leave you guys on a cliffhanger at the end of this chapter.

I knew the young man was a part of their team and the end of the little theater just proved my point even more!

Buy me a if you can!
