Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Chance Encounter
Jian Zongzheng looked at the juniors who had already resigned themselves to their fate and helplessly shook his head. He didn’t want to run anymore either, and there might be even more zombies ahead. If death was inevitable, it might as well be a bit easier.
But before he died, he wanted to take a few zombies down with him, as his contribution to humanity.
“Alright, since you all have decided, then let’s make our last stand together and fight until our last breath!”
The guy wearing the safety helt pulled a blood-stained baseball bat from his backpack and stood next to Jian Zongzheng and Yin Qiu.
Seeing this, Anna also put away her compact mirror and pushed Xiaoai next to everyone.
The guy in the orange hoodie smiled too, picked up the axe in his hand, and stood over.
Having comrades by your side before dying ant the journey wasn’t lonely.
At that mont, a small horde of zombies had already traced the sll of blood and living humans and was coming their way. They hadn’t eaten for many days and seed exceptionally excited, their running speed noticeably faster.
“It’s over, we won’t even get the chance to turn into zombies, they’ll probably just tear us into pieces,” Anna said dazedly as she watched the zombies.
“If only we had so explosives. You could just push in there, and I’d detonate the bomb, wiping us all out together,”
After Zhang Xiaoai finished speaking, he sighed, rembering those heroes he had learned about in textbooks who sacrificed themselves for justice. They were luckier than he was, at least they had so explosives to use, much better equipnt than what these people had.
“Silly Xiaoai, with your slow movents, you’d be torn apart before you even set it off,” the guy in the hoodie said with a laugh.
…
“Jian Zongzheng”
Anna called out to the tall guy standing in the middle.
“Hmm?”
“I’ve liked you for a long ti,”
“…”
Before he could respond, the zombies had already started climbing over the makeshift wall built from old cars.
“Oh, a love confession,”
The hoodie guy joked as he chopped off the head of a zombie crawling through a gap with his axe.
“Fine, I’ll be your boyfriend,”
Jian Zongzheng said with a smile, then used his tal Elent Ability to stab a tal rod through a zombie’s mouth.
Anna wiped the tears off her face, lifted her proud head, and let out a laugh, feeling that Jian Zongzheng really got a bargain—it was his good looks that did it, after all.
“Get lost, ah ah, don’t make jealous,”
Yin Qiu almost died of jealousy, ssing up his own abilities, but managed to knock down a street billboard, crushing four or five zombies.
“There you go, Yin Qiu, thumbs up for you,”
Xiaoai, hiding inside a shopping cart, extended her thumb up. Although she was injured and crouching inside the cart, her hands were relentlessly stabbing at the zombies trying to crawl in with a fruit knife.
Everyone laughed, Yin Qiu’s move had bought them a few more seconds.
But soon they were not laughing anymore—the sound of the falling billboard attracted zombies from all around, and even a Fire Elent Zombie ca running out from a left alley.
“Yin Qiu, watch out!”
Jian Zongzheng tore off a car door and used it to block the flas sprayed by the Fire Elent Zombie.
“Thanks,”
Yin Qiu thanked him and then sent a Wind Blade towards the Fire Elent Zombie!
Zombies from all directions enclosed the group in the middle of the street, everyone standing back to back with Zhang Xiaoai sitting in the shopping cart at the center.
Already resigned to their fate, the trapped group did not lose hope but fought valiantly with everything they could find against the zombies.
At that mont, a Fire Elent Zombie conjured a massive fireball, attempting to scatter the group!
Suddenly, a green vine, coming from nowhere, caught the fireball mid-air and successfully blocked this deadly attack for them!
Following the vine’s path, they were stunned to see an impressive armored vehicle with a man and a woman standing on top, the vine clearly controlled by the beautiful young woman.
“She’s so beautiful!”
Anna stared at the girl on the car roof, utterly spellbound.
Although the young woman simply tied her hair into a ponytail, her skin was as pale as snow, her eyes clear as pools of water, radiating an aura of ethereal purity. At that mont, her pale face was expressionless as she controlled several long vines that whipped towards the Fire Elent Zombie!
Then, the Fire Elent Zombie shifted its focus from Yin Qiu and Jian Zongzheng to the two on the vehicle, drawn more towards the brains of these Advanced Special Ability Users.
“Su Jin, leave this one to —you guys go rescue the others!” Lin Xiuyuan blocked the Fire Elent Zombie’s path and punched it in the face.
“Roar!”
The Fire Elent Zombie was knocked to the ground by Lin Xiuyuan’s punch but quickly got up and launched an attack!
anwhile, Su Jin, Lu Hao, Su Xiangzhe, and Huang Yunxiang had plunged into combat.
Jian Zongzheng and the others, witnessing the Special Ability Users evidently poised in a protective formation in front of them, felt a mix of shock and gratitude. Despite their initial readiness to die, now a strong desire to live surged through them.
Seeing that they had helpers, they didn’t run away or wait passively. Instead, they joined the fight alongside the others, confirming to Su Jin and company that their rescue had not been in vain.
They had decided to co back to rescue these people because Mao Qiqi ntioned that these individuals had been surrounded by zombies for a while and were still persistently fighting. It was only after passing by that they decided to turn the vehicle around and co back.
Now, it seed that their decision was indeed the right one.
“Beautiful, what’s your na?”
Anna flirted, stabbing a zombie with a steel pipe as she spoke.
“Su Jin”
“Nice to et you, I’m Anna”
Seeing this, Lu Hao used a fireball to knock down a group of zombies, then pulled Su Jin to his side.
Anna: …
At that mont, Mao Qiqi, along with Nie Qing and Lu Guanhai, also ca down from the vehicle and joined the battle.
While Nie Qing and Lu Guanhai had been watching TV in the Space Elent, Mao Qiqi rushed in to update them on the outside situation. The two imdiately left the Space Elent and saw the ongoing fight outside.
Jian Zongzheng and Yin Qiu were even more shocked; how were even the elderly and children joining in?!
But a few minutes later, they realized these elderly and children were extraordinarily capable.
Hovering mid-air, Nie Qing effortlessly unleashed Wind Balls and Wind Blades, each move striking directly at the zombies’ heads.
Though Mao Qiqi was not tall, she handled the Waterlon Knife with exceptional agility against adult zombies, leveraging her montum to leap and decapitate a zombie in one swing.
What dazzled them most was the Special Abilities of Su Jin and Lu Hao. Lu Hao drew his Tang Sword, which instantly enveloped in dark flas, slashing forward at the zombies!
Boom!
Ten or so zombies had their heads cleaved by the fiery sword wind and fell at the sound.
Su Jin’s Wood Elent Ability was also awe-inspiring. It was their first ti seeing soone use the Wood Elent to kill zombies; each move was deadly, good for defense, and allowed for long-range attacks.
Wasn’t this too useful?
Su Xiangzhe’s Thunder Elent Ability was also quite spectacular, a Thunder Ball for each zombie, and when combined with the Water Arrows fired by Huang Yunxiang, they eliminated several more advancing zombies!
