Chapter 221: Infected

In territory 2, Vikram and Water Mage and Earth Mage Druid were fixing the water supply in each room of the newly created building.

"Vikram, why are you putting the beds? Are we going to use them for another trade?"

Recently, Sophia, Anjali and Divya had already exchanged vegetables for many supplies. Now, seeing Vikram take out supplies, Anjali subconsciously thought Vikram had another trading task for them.

"Not this time."

"Do you remember the Survivors we met at the villa last time?"

Sophia, Divya and Anjali pondered for a moment and remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

"They agreed to join our shelter?" Divya stood up from the sofa and asked.

"Hmm, more or less. But whether they can become official members depends on their performance."

"These beds and bedding are all for entertaining the new members."

Seeing Vikram didn’t deny it, the two immediately stepped forward to help.

Now after twenty members he brought previously, the new members are also going to live in Territory 2.

"Now, we just wait for the new members to arrive at the Shelter."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Divya and Anjali.

"Once they join, you three will be considered high-level personnel. If I don’t have time to manage them later, I’ll have to rely on you," Vikram said with a serious look.

While it seemed like he was delegating the management of members to the two, Vikram’s main intention was to let them know that there was still a difference in status among the members.

After all, they were his wives, and they were naturally the ones Vikram trusted the most.

"So that means I, this beauty, am finally not the lowest in status in the Shelter?"

"Hahaha!"

"You two always boss me around in the Shelter. Now it’s finally my turn to boss others around!" Anjali put her hands on her hips and laughed uproariously.

"I didn’t boss anyone!" Soohia quietly replied.

"And what about the other members, didn’t you boss with them," Divya rolled her eyes at the giggling Anjali.

Then she looked at Vikram, "There are so many zombies outside. If they come by themselves, won’t it be a bit dangerous?"

"Why don’t we go out and meet them? It would be quite troublesome if the new members get infected before they even reach our territory."

Hearing this, Vikram pondered for a moment, and nodded, although he had cleaned the Zombies around his area, but after a few metres, there were still a few new zombies. And he also knew that daily many Zombies appeared, so they should have gathered.

"Bring your weapons. If the zombie horde is still there, it should be about two hundred meters away."

"The other party just sent the message not long ago; if we go out to meet them now, we should make it in time."

As his words fell, the three took their handy weapons, of course not forgetting the most important pistols.

Vikram even stuffed the machine gun into his pocket.

Summoning the RV, Vikram shouted, "Lightly, Fiery, and Phanty, come quickly!"

Hearing his call, the three Sprouts quickly arrived. Once everyone was inside the RV, Vikram immediately drove toward the location where the new zombies had gathered.

As soon as he broke through the black fog and approached the area, Vikram realized it wasn’t just a few zombies, there was an entire horde.

At this moment, these ghastly creatures had formed a tight circle, as if something in the center was making them ravenous.

"It can’t be such a coincidence, can it?"

The noise from his RV was quite loud, yet even so, the group of zombies showed no intention of turning toward him.

Seeing this, Vikram was almost certain of his guess, there were people inside!

Otherwise, given the zombies’ sensitivity to sound, they would have rushed at him like mad dogs.

"Vikram, what should we do? The zombies seem to have surrounded them," Divya said in a heavy tone, looking at the vast expanse of black dots ahead.

"How can we save them? We can’t just drive the RV in and ram our way through, can we?" Anjali asked anxiously, recalling scenes from movies.

Vikram naturally ignored that suggestion. Saving them was a must, but not like that.

Frowning deeply, he thought of a solution.

He extended his left hand out the window, and at the same time, the M416 appeared in his grip.

Immediately after, "Tat-tat-tat!" The gunfire suddenly erupted, clear and rapid, like flashes of lightning cutting through the dull air.

The next second, the barrel of the M416 erupted with dazzling muzzle flashes as fire snakes of bullets shot forward.

The metallic roar struck the eardrums, making one’s blood surge.

At the same time, the growls of the zombies rang out as bullets tore into their bodies.

Driving with one hand while shooting made accurate aiming nearly impossible. Most of the bullets only hit the zombies’ backs and limbs.

But Vikram’s purpose wasn’t to kill them all right now. So many zombies couldn’t be wiped out in a short time anyway.

All he could do was use the gunfire to temporarily attract some of the horde’s attention away from the trapped people.

While shooting and driving, he didn’t forget to shout to the two girls, "You three shoot quickly too! Don’t be stingy with the bullets!"

He didn’t ask Fiery to attack because the Fire Mage Sprout’s flames were too dangerous, they could easily burn the people he was trying to save.

As soon as his voice fell, the three, having received instructions, quickly pulled out their pistols and frantically pulled the triggers without hesitation, "Bang, bang, bang!"

For a moment, gunshots rang out incessantly.

Unlike Vikram, who had to divide his attention to drive, the three, who only needed to focus on shooting, had very high accuracy.

One could see slightly viscous blood flowers blooming on the backs of the zombies.

Occasionally, a zombie’s head would suddenly explode in the horde, causing Vikram to turn his head in surprise.

"I haven’t seen them shoot in a while, and they’re all shooting so accurately?"

He only glanced for a moment before Vikram turned his head away.

Surprised as he was, the focus at hand was still the zombie horde in front of him.

Roughly estimating, there were at least a hundred zombies on this small flat ground.

It didn’t sound like much, but in his line of sight outside the car window, almost everything was occupied by the figures of zombies.

After shooting for so long, he still hadn’t seen the figures surrounded by the zombie horde.

However, what was fortunate was that the zombies, who had previously ignored them, finally noticed them under the fierce machine gun fire from Vikram’s hand.

Now, half of the zombies were rushing towards them...

A large horde of Zombies, like a surging tide, swept towards Vikram’s van.

Compared to the dozens, even hundreds, of Zombies, the van was like a small boat.

"Roar!" A stench-filled cry erupted just a few meters away.

Seeing some of the faster Zombies about to climb onto the vehicle, Vikram looked towards Phanty and casually tossed the machine gun to the back seat, gripping the steering wheel with both hands to focus on driving.

His foot on the accelerator went from light pressure to flooring it.

In an instant, the distance between the Zombies and the van widened considerably.

"Idiot, you use the machine gun. Kill as many as you can, just don’t let the Zombies get close."

Vikram, busy steering away from the horde, shouted to the back without looking.

Having witnessed Anjali’s marksmanship before, Vikram believed the machine gun would be more effective in her hands now.

His own driving skills weren’t great, and trying to split his attention to draw fire would clearly be too much.

And for Phanty, commands were not needed. Whichever zombies tried to jump on the vehicle, if not killed by his wives, Phanty killed them.

Anjali, called an ’idiot,’ was slightly displeased with the name, but she knew this wasn’t the time to quibble.

She grabbed the machine gun, her slender upper body squeezing out the window, and with both hands holding the machine gun, she continuously fired at the dozens of Zombies chasing like mad dogs.

Considering the machine gun’s purpose was high rate of fire and area coverage, even with Anjali’s talent for shooting, she couldn’t consistently land headshots like with a pistol.

Additionally, to prevent the Zombies from getting close, the vehicle’s speed was also increasing, causing the hit rate to drop significantly.

However, as bullets sprayed from the barrel as if they were free, the machine gun ultimately proved its worth in her hands.

Most Zombies, even if not headshotted, were hit in the legs or other places, preventing them from getting close to the van...

"Brother, it seems like someone’s here outside. I just heard several noises, like gunshots."

Percy gritted his teeth, while struggling to fend off the Zombie siege with their homemade iron shields, he informed Ron beside him of what he had heard.

"Hahaha, it seems heaven doesn’t want me to die. It must be that kid coming to meet us."

Ron laughed, then his metal iron rod arced through the air, smashing a Zombie in front of him into a bloody mess.

At this moment, the five were, as Vikram had expected, surrounded by a horde of Zombies on the open snowy ground.

To be fair, their journey to Vikram’s Territory had been quite smooth.

Not only were they not discovered by the people from Green Wind Shelter, but they also successfully avoided many Zombie attacks.

But the bad luck struck when they were close to their destination; their good fortune ran out, and a Mutated Zombie actively sought them out.

With the strength of their team, dealing with a Mutated Zombie wouldn’t be easy, but it certainly wouldn’t be difficult either.

However, after a struggle, when this Zombie realized it was no match for them, it actually started wailing on the spot.

This is how the other Zombies discovered them.

Without any vehicle, relying only on their legs to travel, they were naturally surrounded when facing the horde.

Fortunately, Harry had previously opened a metal shield blueprint from a treasure chest.

It was only by relying on the shields made from that blueprint that they were able to hold out for so long.

"They have guns in their hands, how is that possible?" Harry asked in confusion while fending off the Zombies.

Seeing the number of Zombies behind them significantly reduced, their pressure from fending off Zombies instantly dropped by more than half, and Harry showed a look of disbelief.

Draco held a long spear; this weapon had an incredibly high penetrating damage, and coupled with his physique, he could kill a Zombie with almost no effort.

Realizing that help had arrived, he immediately felt a sense of relief after surviving a disaster, and said loudly, "Who cares what they’re using, Harry Bro, at least we’re saved now. At this rate, if we kill ten more Zombies, we should be able to escape."

"Exactly, I thought that kid was capable when I was in the villa, but I didn’t expect him to have this trick up his sleeve."

"When we join his Shelter, it will definitely be reliable. Maybe we can even completely get rid of those fools from Green Wind Shelter."

Ron, still surrounded by zombies, was already imagining a future where he wouldn’t have to live under constant surveillance, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

He had no idea that danger was quietly approaching from behind him.

At some point, a Zombie, slightly taller than the others, had appeared behind him.

Two black, poisonous claws, giving Ron no chance to react, tore through the air.
