Chapter 353: Chapter 349: Confrontation

Su Changxing saw the situation and immediately pulled out his gun to aim at the blurry shadow and fired.

“Bang bang~”

The bullets passed through the shadow, piercing the wall, leaving a large hole.

“Did I hit it?”

Su Changxing couldn’t perceive the presence of the Big-headed Ghost at all and didn’t continue the pursuit. Instead, he turned around to check the situation on Zhu Wenwu’s side.

At this time, Zhu Wenwu was squatting on the ground, examining the half-corpse. Seeing Su Changxing coming over, he looked up and said:

“Did you catch him? Those zombies have quieted down.”

Su Changxing shook his head and said, “I did chase him, but he still got away. It’s a pity. These new humans are not like zombies; each one is cunning.”

Zhu Wenwu nodded in agreement and said, “In such an environment, those who can survive are not ordinary people.”

They immediately returned to the street. The zombies had quieted down, and there were hundreds of corpses on the ground, with four of their people injured.

One of the more seriously injured was Zhang Shun, who was lying on the ground receiving treatment from Huang Biao. He let his guard down and was stabbed in the abdomen by a new human.

Chang Yi stood beside him, holding his breath, and said:

“I told you to block in front, not to rush in directly. You’re not as strong as Captain Zhu.”

Zhang Shun gave an awkward laugh, widening his eyes, and said, “I got excited, haha, I got excited.”

There wasn’t a trace of fear in his expression. He was more like a combat enthusiast. Maybe this is the difference between people, perhaps a genetic difference.

Huang Biao said approvingly:

“Haha, kid, I like you. You need this kind of spirit. On the battlefield, those who survive are often the ones who aren’t afraid to die. Fear only leads to death.”

Cheng Ji Yuan stood next to Lin Xiuyu and said in a low voice, “Deputy Lin, aren’t these people too fierce? They just took down so many zombies and these monsters like that.”

By the time he had taken down two zombies, the battle was basically over.

He was completely stunned. Compared to those monsters, these gathered civilians seemed more like monsters, each with overwhelming combat power.

Lin Xiuyu squinted at him, seemingly judging his lack of insight, and calmly said:

“It’s normal, they are Extraordinary, possessing such combat power is not surprising.”

He looked down at the notebook in his hand, blue light flashing in his eyes as if he was calculating something.

Su Changxing walked over to Huang Biao and asked, “How much longer is needed?”

Huang Biao didn’t lift his head and said, “Not long, just over ten minutes at most. We’ll take this opportunity to rest a bit.”

Su Changxing nodded, using this opportunity to collect Points from the surrounding corpses while having Zhu Wenwu watch the zombies’ movements to prevent the Big-headed Ghost from launching a surprise attack.

This battle took a heavy toll on them.

Even for the Extraordinary, energy and stamina are limited, and they can’t maintain high-intensity combat for long periods.

Altogether, they collected over ten thousand Points, mainly because the corpses of new humans are valuable, especially the half-corpse Zhu Wenwu killed with a hand grenade, worth over four thousand.

It must have been a relatively powerful new human, stronger than Zhu Wenwu, but it was so easily taken down by a single grenade.

This only goes to show that strength doesn’t completely determine the outcome of a battle.

After this battle, everyone gained confidence, and the atmosphere eased significantly, even Zhu Wenwu’s expression became much more relaxed.

At least this proved their combat power was indeed strong.

As they walked further, they clearly felt the small town growing livelier, encountering isolated, wandering new humans from time to time.

“What’s it like up ahead now?”

Ye Yongqiang pinned a relatively normal-looking new human, who had one hand chopped off, to the ground, asking viciously.

The new human looked around at the others in despair, confused as to why there were still humans here.

“Clack~”

Just as he was about to speak, another arm was chopped off, and he screamed, exasperated, “I never said I wouldn’t talk, what’s the rush.”

“······ Oh, is that so? Then let’s hear it.”

Ye Yongqiang’s lips curved into a thin smile, looking extremely cold, sending chills down spines.

The new human gritted his teeth and said, “We just stopped the attack. That human was too strong and held us back outside.”

Ye Yongqiang looked satisfied and continued to ask, “Hmm, what’s your next plan then?”

The new human looked confused and said, “I’m not too sure, I guess wait a while before launching another attack.”

Then, he suddenly broke into a wild smile, “Haha, either way, you’ll definitely die here after some time. We don’t need to rush, killing me won’t help.”

“Ah!”

He let out a sharp and high-pitched scream that spread out around him.

Ye Yongqiang chopped off his head with an axe, cutting off the scream, but knew they had been tricked, turned around, and asked, “What shall we do? They should have already discovered our location.”

Su Changxing observed the surroundings and said, “Let’s take a detour and not go directly from this side. Lin Xiuyu, can you contact your leader at this distance?”

Lin Xiuyu’s eyes shone with a bright blue light, and he nodded, “I can, but it will take a little time. The environment here is not very good.”

······

Stones fell from the sky, hitting the stone slab ground with a crisp sound and landing on the broken corpses with a dull thud.

“Haha, want more? Huh? Come on, I haven’t killed enough yet.”

A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses stood in front of the factory gate, chest heaving violently, shouting.

A large number of metal objects, steel pipes, fragments of a red iron door, and many weapon fragments floated in mid-air.

A loud and deep voice echoed around, akin to a beast’s roar.

“Leave here, and I will let you go, otherwise you will all die!”

Zhong Jueqing threw away his hat, long hair flying in the air, a slightly crazed smile on his face, shouting:

“You want me to leave, I refuse! Even if we die together, I think it’s worth it.”

Visible electric eels spread around him, the black sunglasses couldn’t hide the dazzling blue light, a massive superpower naturally driving the flow of air.

At this moment, he seemed like a mini nuclear fusion station, undergoing particle fission, with immense energy erupting out, explosive and frenzied.

The deep voice resounded again.

“Hmm, you’re committing suicide, why? Why do this.”

The corpse-strewn clearing felt like an abyss, no new humans stepped forward, instead trembling and retreating, falling silent, no longer shouting.

Zhong Jueqing took out a cigarette, placed it by his mouth, snapped his left hand to light it, and laughed: “When I came in, I didn’t plan on leaving alive… you might not understand, but that’s the reality.”

“Phew~”

He exhaled a puff of blue smoke and sighed, “Though the result might be the same, I just can’t stand you monsters.”
