Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Gas Station

When they reached the Bluebird district, there was dead silence.

The cars stopped near the gas station, and everyone alighted from the car.

“Still no zombies,” Sylas said as he carefully used his senses to scan the surroundings.

“Everyone, stay alert. Dylan, Serena, and Sylas, come with me,” Major Kyle said as he headed to the gas station.

The gas station was a mess. One of the pumps was vandalized, and cars were parked askew. Some overturned and some with their doors wide open.

When they approached the pumps, the digital screens were dark because of the lack of electricity.

“We need to extract it manually,” Major Kyle said.

Dylan lifted the metal access panel near the base of the pump, and the smell of gasoline wafted out, assaulting their nostrils.

Sylas took out the jerry cans, containers, funnels, manual hand pump, and siphon hose from his space.

Dylan took the siphon hose and let it down into the underground tank.

Serena quickly opened the cans when Dylan started pumping.

Can after can of gasoline was filled, and Sylas quickly stored it inside his space.

As they were filling the cans, Sylas felt the trembling of the ground increase. He frowned and looked around the surroundings. There was nothing, but his intuition said otherwise.

The disappearance of zombies in the red zone didn’t feel right, and Sylas knew something was definitely brewing in the dark, and it was not a good thing.

At the same time, Shaun also felt it.

“Major, we should leave quickly. Something doesn’t feel right,” Shaun said, running towards them.

“How many cans have we filled so far?” Major Kyle asked.

“Ten twenty-liter cans and five small containers with ten liters,” Serena said.

“That’s enough for now. Let’s leave,” Major Kyle said.

Sylas stored all the containers in his space and quickly helped Dylan close the metal access panel.

Sylas wanted to store some gasoline for himself, but it looked like it was not possible at the moment. He tried to move the underground tank, but since it was embedded inside the ground, he could not move it.

Just when they were about to get back to their cars, Sylas suddenly stopped and looked in one direction.

“Something is approaching,” Sylas said, instantly making everyone alert.

“How many? Can you feel it?” Major Kyle asked.

“Only one. Seems to be a zombie,” Sylas said as he narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the zombie was approaching.

“Let’s hurry and leave,” Major Kyle said. He had no intention of waiting for the zombie and killing it.

Everyone immediately got inside the car, ready to leave.

But before they could leave, Sylas suddenly got out of the car again before anyone could react.

Bang!

A metal pole was thrown at them from nowhere, and Sylas used his spatial barrier to block it.

The metal pole fell to the ground with a loud bang, startling everyone inside the car.

“Oh my God!”

“Where did it come from?”

“F…k!”

Everyone exclaimed.

If Sylas hadn’t blocked the metal pole, they could have been smashed by it.

A metal pole lay a few meters away from the cars, and Sylas looked toward the direction from which it had come. If it weren’t for his strong senses and quick actions, they all would have been dead or injured.

Sylas’ sharp eyes locked onto the building in the distance.

A figure stood there, looking at them. It was a human, but whether it was an awakened human or a zombie, Sylas had no way of knowing.

“What’s that?” Dylan asked as he squinted his eyes and looked in the direction where Sylas was staring.

“There are many zombies approaching,” Sylas said.

At first, there was only one zombie, but now Sylas could sense a horde approaching behind that zombie.

“What should we do? Leave or stay and fight?” Shaun asked in an urgent tone.

Sylas shook his head, eyes still fixed on the figure standing on the building from afar. To be able to throw a metal pole from that distance was no joke. That human or whatever entity it was, it probably had a strength-type ability. If it’s a human, then its strength must be higher than Dylan’s. If it’s not a human, then…

’Well, things are going to get interesting,’ Sylas thought.

“Whatever is standing up there is probably stopping us from leaving. If we get inside the car, we can expect another surprise,” Sylas said, cracking his neck.

“Looks like we have no choice but to fight,” Major Kyle said as he quickly got ready with his gun.

“Everyone, deal with the zombies. I am going after that figure,” Sylas said before leaving those words behind.

With a flash, he disappeared from the spot. His speed was so fast that the rest couldn’t follow his figure.

Sylas fixed his gaze on that humanoid figure and went straight at it.

Seeing Sylas approaching, the figure turned its back, jumped down from the building, and disappeared.

Seeing its quick movements, Sylas smirked and said under his breath, “I won’t leave without finding out what you actually are.”

Sylas could sense several zombies heading towards him as soon as the figure disappeared.

Within a few seconds, the zombies came into his view. Sylas frowned when he saw their movements. They were a bit different from normal zombies. Their movements were less stiff, but not by much. However, this little change immediately caught Sylas’ attention.

’The zombies seem to have undergone some change!’ Sylas thought.

The zombies let out growls, and some even made unintelligible noises. When they sensed Sylas, they immediately lunged at him with a speed faster than normal zombies.

Sylas maneuvered his spatial blade and immediately severed the heads of the first batch of zombies that were obstructing his path.

Some who managed to avoid it struggled to get up, still wanting to attack Sylas, but to Sylas, dealing with these zombies even though they seemed to have undergone some changes still posed no threat to him.

With a quick wave of his hand, the last zombies were immediately killed off by his spatial blade.

And just when Sylas was about to leave, he thought of something and immediately stopped and slashed open one of the zombie’s heads with his spatial blade.
