Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person
Chapter 268 - 217: Main Course
"Ah, I've been bitten..."
"My arm!"
Locked in a stalemate, humans were already outnumbered by zombies, and during the battle, casualties gradually appeared. This actually hadn't lasted long. From picking up cold weapons to the first person getting bitten, only five minutes had passed!
Five minutes...
Even for someone slightly constipated, it's not enough for a big move.
The outcome of a close combat battle hinges on a single thought, there can't be too much delay.
"Uncle, this isn't working, we can't kill them like this!"
Wang Xingui's clothes were ripped in several places, with the torn spots resembling cotton growing out...
Though he was indulgent in women, he usually trained diligently, and his combat strength was quite formidable. Yet even so, he felt extremely strained facing the zombies with incredibly strong defenses.
A brawny man swung his pickaxe while shouting, "Boss Wang, think of something, we can't hold on anymore!"
"Dynamite, use dynamite! Everyone fall back!"
Wang Longzhong roared!
Dynamite is the ultimate weapon, only used in dire survival situations.
"Die!"
With a ripping sound, two villagers lit the dynamite and fiercely threw it toward the zombie crowd!
The fuse burned, the dynamite soared through the air, like a meteor carrying everyone's hopes, landing among the zombies under hopeful gazes.
Boom!
With the dynamite explosion, a shockwave spread from the center, knocking down zombies within a seven to eight-meter diameter. The specific number of casualties is unknown, but it somewhat eased the zombie attack.
The pressure suddenly reduced, but everyone didn't feel any relief because those knocked down zombies got back up one by one, and some who lost their legs desperately crawled on the ground.
"Throw some more! Quick!"
Seeing the effect, Wang Longzhong continued killing the zombies in front of him while directing people to keep throwing dynamite.
Boom!
Boom boom.
With each dynamite exploding among the zombies, the villagers got a breather, a temporary balance formed in the offense and defense, no longer a lopsided situation.
"Ha ha ha! We can definitely do it!"
"How many dynamite sticks are left?"
"Plenty, over twenty left, blow them up, blow them to smithereens!"
"Damn it, aren't their skins tough? Can't withstand the explosion, blow them up!"
The effective attack gave the villagers confidence, their morale soared, luckily they had already eaten dinner, so they were energetic, with various hormones rapidly secreting under the excited mood, supporting their vigorous fighting spirit.
That night, United Village experienced many unexpected events, from the beginning when zombies escaped the quarry, to discovering that some zombies had extremely strong defenses later on. Each unexpected event seemed like the main course, but in front of the actual main course, all those unexpected events were insignificant!
An unforgettable scene for United Village survivors was about to come.
The dynamite explosion ignited the clothing on the zombies, as the flames slowly rose, indicating this battle was no longer ordinary.
Soon, the flames spread, and a group of zombies blazed fiercely, during which they experienced a brief stillness, as if the entire scene was paused.
At first, the villagers cheered, thinking the fire could devour the zombies, purify everything, some even complained why they didn't think of using fire earlier, such a simple method.
Under the firelight, everyone's faces revealed expressions of relief, surviving a disaster, and it finally ended.
But the great horror event followed!
The pause ended, the wheel of fate began to turn.
One by one, the flaming zombies didn't collapse as villagers hoped, instead, they roared more fiercely, turned their heads, and looked at the villagers collectively, as if transforming into flame men, charging intensely!
This scene stunned the people of United Village.
Disasters never come alone, before the villagers could experience the power of the flaming zombies, a series of miserable screams rang out from behind!
"Boss Wang, behind, zombies are coming out from behind!"
Frantic shouts in a hysterical tone.
No one noticed from the side path a group of zombies suddenly emerged, if guessed correctly, they were likely the ones attracted away by the loudspeakers at the village entrance, now drawn by the dynamite explosions, they circled around and blocked the way!
Being sandwiched on both sides, everyone instantly fell into an unprecedented crisis.
At this moment, the flaming zombies collided with the villagers.
Originally, the threat of zombies lay only in their teeth and nails, but after catching fire, not only did their strength and speed reach unprecedented levels, but their whole body of fierce flames became weapons attacking humans.
The fire tongues whipped, the blazing heat swept, people felt scorched without needing to get too close.
Completely unable to fight!
"Ah! No, no no..."
"I... don't want this, oh ah!"
Instantly, two weaker fighters were consumed by the flames, using their bodies and blood to halt the zombies' attack...
The two struggled in the fierce flames, as if being dragged into hell by malicious ghosts, only a single arm defiantly stretched toward the crowd for help, yet even if gods descended, it was to no avail.
Crunch crunch.
The sound of chewing in the flames seemed deliberately amplified, echoing in everyone's ears, chilling to the bone!
Seeing the situation front and back, Wang Longzhong's blood turned cold in an instant!
United Village's strength could withstand a zombie attack from one side, even if there were three to four hundred zombies left, with dynamite and firearms suppressing, there's still a chance!
But unfortunately, the flames burning snuffed out the last hope.
Skin as hard as rock was outrageous enough, once on fire, it became even more perverted, zombies seemed to have taken a hundred doses of stimulants, becoming insane!
United Village could withstand a thousand regular zombies, even if mixed with some zombies having the enhanced rock skin defense, they could still fight, but facing flaming zombies, even a hundred would be a catastrophe! π³ππ²ππ πππ»πΌπ§π²π₯.πππ¦
And they were surrounded...
Wang Longzhong screamed with heart-wrenching pain, "Retreat! Leave all supplies and run to Beidong Town! Quick! Xiaoquan, use dynamite at the rear!"
Deciding one second later would be disrespectful to those villagers using their lives to block the flaming zombies' advance.
Actually, before Wang Longzhong gave the order, some already began fleeing, only those few who fled during battle didn't succeed, instead, they were surrounded by another group of zombies, and part of the miserable screams came from them.
In chaos, elders treaded unsteadily, children stumbled, women dragged and pulled, adults sprinted madly, acquaintances might help each other, while ordinary relations had no time to care!
The flames spread, three hundred or so zombies surged forward almost forming a wall, fierce flames dashed between the village, dyeing half the sky red, like the curtain of the Death God!
Boom, boom boom!
Each explosion mixed with pitiful screams, some zombies fell, and some United Village villagers stayed on this hot land forever.
Since the zombies were on fire, the dynamite had to be used when needed, after all, it was currently the most effective blockade besides letting zombies eat living people.
Boom...
Zombies flew from the explosion, the scene resembled the banks of the Volga River in 1942!
