Chapter 138: Breathtaking

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If the time was not wrong, it should be 2041 hours when it all started going south.

Tang Ling clearly remembered that everyone on the Fierce Dragon Squad was working together to clean up the garage. Garage No. 19 was left with less than 30 zombies before they could call it a day.

However, at that exact moment, a dozen more zombies swarmed in through the biggest north entrance without any signs.

No one was bothered at first since they could get more crystals with a dozen extra kills.

Three minutes later, a hundred more zombies swarmed in, and it was at that moment that Tang Ling felt something had gone wrong. The faint sense of danger that lingered in his heart suddenly became clear like an icy-cold hand squeezing his heart all of a sudden.

“Close the door right away.” It was the only countermeasure that Tang Ling could come up with at that instance. If the zombies were allowed to swarm the garage freely, the entire Fierce Dragon Squad would eventually be overwhelmed by the incoming zombies.

Tang Ling’s reaction was timely, but his squad doubted his decision to close the door. Even Andy and Vian thought Tang Ling was being too sensitive and overcautious.

The Purple Moon Warriors were cleaning up the zombies wandering outside the garage, so why would there be any more zombies out there to surround them? Moreover, they carved a bloody path all the way to garage No. 19, therefore they were certain that there were no more zombies outside.

Although none of them could explain where the hundreds of zombies came from, closing the entrance all of a sudden would only end up with them locking themselves in with a hundred more zombies in the garage. Needless to say, it was dangerous to the whole squad.

They had been applying the lure and kill tactic all this while to clean up the zombies whereby they had to split the zombies up before taking them out and slowly push forward.

However, Tang Ling had no time to explain anymore. He had no solid reason to persuade his squadmates to believe in that indistinct feeling of his. He has to act right away.

“Amir, continuing leading the group to clean up the rest of the zombies. Andy, Yu, watch my movements. If an appropriate window appears, go shut the door right away.”

“But…” Andy was a little reluctant to obey the orders. He gulped nervously when he saw the hundreds of zombies jammed up at the entrance.

The zombies seemed to be increasing in numbers. They were indeed. A large number of zombies pushed themselves through, so it was extremely crowded at the entrance and there were no signs of stopping anytime soon.

“We are teammates. We should trust each other with our lives in a critical situation like this.” Tang Ling left with such words before he dashed towards the north entrance.

Everyone was stunned. Only Yu curled his fists tightly and said, “Let’s trust him.”

However, what should they believe in? Vian bitterly covered her eyes. Tang Ling was the weakest in the entire Fierce Dragon Squad. He was unambitious and never worked hard in training.

When he was cleaning up the zombies earlier, his performance was average. There was nothing stellar about anything, and he even looked a little bit sluggish.

Why would he impulsively take the risk now?

“I’m going to stop him.” Vian wanted to go after Tang Ling, but Yu held her back. He thought of the conversation that he had with Tang Ling a few days ago. Tang Ling had told him that he could leave his back to him, so Yu had to do the same for him.

Moreover, Tang Ling was able to acquire that many spoils in the forest, so he should not be weaker than me…

In the next moment, everyone was astonished. Vian even thought she was seeing things.

Is that really Tang Ling?

The unconcerned look on his face was gone. As the laziness disappeared, he sprinted as fast as the wind and was somewhat even faster than Andy.

The control he had over his body was almost artistic. In every pause he made, every skillful turn around the corner, utilizing the broken racks to his advantage, and every strike that he delivered, there was not a single mistake.

With his artistic movements, he managed to round up more than a hundred zombies behind his back and had them lined up like a long moving train.

It was at that moment, the rest of the Fierce Dragon Squad saw the cruelty of reality. A single glance beyond the north entrance was a sea of zombies with no end in sight.

What happened? Everyone was anxious.

The dozen large searchlights that were moved to the garage area in order to provide more convenience for the night battle looked harsh and merciless. Wherever the light reached, there were zombies, just not the north entrance of garage No. 19.

Phewitt! Tang Ling whistled loudly.

Yu finally realized that Tang Ling had led that line of zombies away from the north entrance.

“Andy, take right! I’ll take left!” Yu shouted as he dashed towards the north entrance at his fastest speed.

Judging from how crowded the zombies were outside, in one step, there would be at least 200 or more zombies swarming through the entrance.

Andy dared not delay his movements either, so he quickly followed Yu to the north entrance. The two of them dashed as fast as they could since their lives depended on it.

The iron door was heavy and was barely damaged since it had always been under the purple light of the Universal Source Rock.

Andy cursed the Universal Source Rock for the first time when he pushed the iron door open.

How could the purple light from the rock have preserved the iron door so well? The door was actually controlled by a mechanical rail from the old civilization, but it was stiff due to how well it was preserved.

“Ughhh!” Andy’s face flushed when he pushed the door along the rail, but he barely moved it. The others had to help him move the door halfway before it closed.

Compared to Andy, Yu was a lot stronger. He was able to push the door to close at a decent speed.

“Andy, watch out!” Christina could not help but cry out in shock.

At the same time, Tang Ling, who was a dozen meters away from Andy, jumped on the broken rack and launched himself towards the latter with a powerful leap.

The broken rack shattered upon the impact of Tang Ling’s jump and it somewhat stopped the group of zombies chasing Tang Ling.

Tang Ling utilized the precious time he earned and the momentum from his jump to reach Andy.

A zombie managed to squeeze in through the closing door while all that was happening. It pounced towards Andy who could not react in time since he was pushing the door. He even looked a little sluggish after hearing Christina’s scream.

The zombie jumped forward with its standard hunting posture.

Tang Ling had seen and experienced the movements countless times back in the strange dream, so killing the zombie in such a position had somehow become muscle memory. Without a change in expression, he raised his right hand and twisted the grade C alloy longsword into a diagonal upward slash.

The blade glared as it whistled in the air.

In everyone’s astonished eyes, it seemed like the zombie jumped towards Tang Ling’s sword by its own accord.

However, that was not the end of it. Tang Ling continued raising his right hand, moving his waist towards the left slightly, and at the same time, he kicked out with his right leg.

Another zombie that followed the first through the door got a kick in its face. A clear cracking noise came from its neck as it fell to the ground after a growl and died.

“That’s why I said to trust me.” Tang Ling looked at Andy, shaking his left hand, and the Wolf Crunch slid out from his sleeve. As he thrust it forward, the Wolf Crunch was precisely stabbed in between the eyes of the third zombie.

It was less than two seconds and he killed three zombies!

So, was this Tang Ling’s true strength?
