Chapter 373: Crisis on the 211 Highway (Third Update)_2

Many cars had been smashed out of shape, and from the looks of the wreckage, there had also been explosions. Seven of the cars had been directly burned into charred frames, and the people inside had completely turned into char.

Besides that, there were plenty of other vehicles that were severely deformed. The bloodstains seeping out of the cars had darkened, and the people inside had turned into rotting corpses.

Some of the less damaged cars had their doors opened. Except for the occasional unlucky driver who died in the car, the others had managed to escape.

Just what had become of those people was unknown.

The road here was severely blocked. It was simply impossible to get through by car; they had to move the vehicles first. So, as soon as the car stopped, Xu Wu, Wang Qi, and Huang Yue rapidly got out of the car to shift the vehicles.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Qianqian then released their Spiritual Sense far away to monitor the surroundings.

"Not good!" Bai Qianqian suddenly opened her eyes and exclaimed, "There’s a Zombie Group of over ten thousand heading our way!"

Fang Yuyang also noticed and immediately called out loudly, "Everyone, pay attention! A Zombie Group of over ten thousand is coming in our direction, 700 meters away! It’s predicted they’ll reach here in three minutes!"

After she spoke, the others quickly sprang into action. Everyone got out of the cars and took out their weapons.

This was a highway, and using explosives wasn’t a good idea. Blowing up the road surface would only make things more complicated, so they had to rely on conventional weapons.

Ever since Bai Ye received the legacy of the Dragon Scale Sword, he had specially prepared a sword as a substitute to practice his sword skills. Naturally, his weapon was the golden longsword in his hand.

Meng Qingluo, however, was different. Her marksmanship was already quite good, and after her Awakening, her body had been enhanced, making her practically a godly sniper. But her awakened superpower was a special type of poison series, capable of releasing toxic smoke or fog. However, zombies were already dead and carried the Zombie Virus, which gave them immunity to regular poison. Hence, Meng Qingluo’s superpower wasn’t very effective against zombies, but it was frighteningly effective against humans or other creatures.

Fang Jintang thought for a moment and said, "We can’t create a swamp trap here; let’s change locations."

Hearing his words, everyone immediately agreed with his suggestion. They had all witnessed the power of Fang Jintang’s swamp traps. The Zombie Group was still some distance away, which gave them just enough time to set up.

Therefore, they simply got off the highway and chose a relatively large empty space beside the road for Fang Jintang to set up the traps.

Fang Jintang immediately began to make hand gestures, and soon, spirit light shot out from his hands and struck the selected ground. As the spirit light spread, the entire ground began to transform. In less than a minute, it turned into a swamp measuring ten meters on each side.

Next, Fang Jintang cast another spirit light into the swamp, and the surface of the swamp changed once again, resembling normal ground. At first glance, no one would notice anything odd. Anyone unaware would not imagine that the layer of ground was only a thin layer with a swamp underneath.

Following that, Meng Qingluo, Chen Qiao, and others began to set up machine guns. Once the Zombie Group fell into the swamp, they would finish them off with their guns.

Meanwhile, Bai Qianqian kept reporting the location of the Zombie Group. As the distance reported from his mouth grew shorter, everyone began to tense up.

However, they all understood that this tension was merely an illusion born from the atmosphere; they had great confidence in their own abilities. A horde of ten thousand zombies wasn’t going to cause them too much trouble.

As long as nothing else went wrong, there was really nothing to worry about.

The Zombie Group was getting closer.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters!

There were no Safe Zones in the vicinity, so naturally, there weren’t any living people around. These zombies had been roaming nearby for who knows how long, famished. Now that they suddenly caught the scent of living people with rich blood and vitality, how could they resist?

As the distance decreased, the zombies sensed the vitality from the superpower users more and more intensely. They accelerated continuously, desperately rushing towards the location of Fang Yuxin and her group.

But as the Zombie Group drew increasingly closer, Xu Wu and the other two had already reached the back of the trap and joined up with Fang Yuxin and the others. They stood in a line, holding guns or other weapons, waiting for the zombies to approach.

Fang Yuxin reminded in a low voice, "The strongest one inside is a Speed Mutant Zombie nearing Level 3. In addition, there are ten Level 2 Zombies and over a hundred Level 1 Zombies—be careful!"

Many here weren’t capable of handling a Speed Mutant Zombie nearing Level 3. As soon as Fang Yuxin’s voice fell, Bai Ye said, "I’ll deal with that Speed Zombie. The rest of you, be careful!"

The others instinctively tightened their grip on their weapons. Although a trap had been laid, the speed of the Speed Mutant Zombies was too great; they might not be ensnared by the trap. Bai Ye’s caution was to beware of the Speed Zombies inside.

The remaining zombies weren’t so fast; if they controlled them well, they could trap them inside the swamp. Once they fell into the swamp, their movements would be greatly restricted.

Just as Bai Ye finished speaking, the Speed Mutant Zombie nearing Level 3 turned into a blur and charged forward. It moved so fast that despite stepping on the trap, it left hardly any trace and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Just in time, Fang Yuyang used the wind to hinder its speed, preventing it from successfully launching a sneak attack. Simultaneously, Bai Ye used the momentum of the wind to step in and block it.
