Chapter 121

121 3.06.26 – Showdown – Downfall of Humanity

After the repetitive action, everyone’s aim improved. The number of zombies decreased, the adrenaline rush settled down. If it was inside a city, they wouldn’t be able to reload their weapons with such ease. A zombie could jump at them from anywhere, anytime. In the safety of the walls, they didn’t have to move. Heck, they could go to the toilet, and still finish their mission successfully.

After four hours...

Not even one zombie could touch the wall.

214 humans and a snake vs 30 000 zombies.

It was a pure massacre on the zombie’s side, with no human casualties whatsoever. Dust and smoke emitted from the hot weapons while machine guns barrels had to be changed a few times due to the high heat. Everyone fell on their back, looking at the sky, they took a deep breath through the gas masks, their bodies were shaking from too much excitement.

Bing Shi ran up the platforms with a bucket in her hand, peeking her head out the walls, wherever she looked, there was a wast sea of dead bodies, “Guys we have a problem.”

“...”

Hearing no response, she continued, “Till now, I haven’t come up with an idea how to get rid of all these bodies efficiently.”

“...” That was her biggest problem?!

.....

Yi Zen stood up and walked next to Bing Shi, “We’ll force the citizens to clean it up.”

“Oh,” Bing Shi nodded, “But first and foremost, looting time.”

“What?” Yi Zen asked.

Walking down the stairs, Bing Shi grabbed a nearby hammer, “Depending on a level, a zombie’s brain contains a nucleus, which is going to be a main power source and currency in the future.”

While the men followed after her, Yi Zen repeated her action and took a hammer, “You didn’t mention anything like that on your website.”

Bing Shi smiled with glee, “That’s because I want them all for myself and my army, of course.”

Yi Zen watched her with ridicule, “Who is your army?”

Bing Shi stopped at her steps, “Sorry, I meant ours, hehe.” Running towards the entrance, she sang out loud, “Still, we will be known as Bing Shi army ?? Bing Shi base ?? and so on ??...”

“...” Each soldier grabbed a hammer.

Not a minute went by, when Bing Shi ran back to them, giving the bucket and a hammer to a nearby soldier, she ran to her tent while hyperventilating, “Gods, I can’t, those dead bodies are too scary.”

“...” Shaking their heads helplessly, they went out to collect the loot. They were full of energy, compared to their past missions, the battle with the zombies was nothing. Little did they know that the following task was extremely time-consuming. Not only that, but it was also disturbing to the core.

In the past, with the advantage of superpowers, a team of people would go to the city to hunt hundreds of zombies at most... But thirty thousand?!? Just thinking about the following cities, those soldiers wanted to flee, not from zombies, but from the aftermath.

The whole time, this world’s female lead was inside of her space, picking up strawberries and planting tomatoes.

The killing had little to no impact on Bing Shi. Zombies were contaminated by a virus. She was killing the virus, not the actual people; that’s what she kept telling herself. She was okay with seeing death and murder from afar as it was something she got used to, from TVs and Fu Lian.

What she couldn’t withhold was being near a corpse. Regardless of how many times she tried to forget the zombie holocaust, the horror of being near ten thousand corpses was something she couldn’t shake of easily.

On the way to the tent, Bing Shi’s hands were jammed into her armpits, struggling with the cold sweat and the massive rocks withing her stomach, which restrained her movements, she fought with a particular image in her mind. Walking, she stared at her boots.

‘A pink elephant is jumping on my car.’

‘Angry, Sharkie shot it in the butt with a bubble gum, gun.’

‘One bubble gum bullet accidentally hit Xuan Mu’s black baby.’

The moment she stopped, a mountain of dead bodies with her boyfriend’s face appeared before her face. Startled, she cried out silently, “Waaah.” Jumping on the spot, she shook off the awful past experience. Instead of a scene, where she fought anyone who wanted to take his cold body away, she imagined a silly scene – shoving the traumatic event back to the deepest part of her mind. Looking around, she found nobody. Everyone, Kuro included, were outside the walls.

‘Seeing Xuan Mu’s black baby covered in sticky pink gum, Sharkie and I decided to flee from the scene.’

Changing her route, she climbed up the stairs; walking to the edge of the platform and afraid of falling; Bing Shi lay down on her stomach. Peeking her head from the wall, she watched the busy men bellow. Seeing the lively men, she somehow calmed down. Taking out a tablet from her backpack, she opened Xuan Mu’s selfie and started to draw cat ears on his head and a blush on his grumpy face.

“...Groargh...,” a deep masculine voice howled out while pulling her leg at the same tame, scarring the dear life out of Bing Shi.

“....Waaah...,” Bing Shi cried out in fear, kicking her leg into the air, preparing her strength pill, she turned around to see a man in a gas mask.

Avoiding the kick, Ren Han took a step back and started to laugh.

Bing Shi sat up abruptly; when she wanted to stand up, sudden dizziness hit her head. Falling on her bum, and noticing her unresponsive muscles, she gave up and hugged her legs. Hiding her head in between her knees, she hid the pill back under her tongue. When she heard his laughter, anger, and gloom assaulted her heart.

‘Calm down. It’s nothing.’

‘Don’t let anybody know my weakness.’

‘How can I calm down?!’

‘Xuan Mu, off with his head!’

‘He tarnished my leg!’
