Chapter 409: Chapter 37 Decision Errors and Red Square Shelter_2

"Damn, it’s impenetrable, Tang Zheng, can we use a cannon on the scorpion?" Old Gao fired his machine gun, but all his bullets bounced off the radiation scorpion’s body, occasionally causing some splatters of blood on the joint areas, but they didn’t cause much damage.

"Aim better." Gao Yu watched as a scorpion got blown away by the explosion and shouted excitedly, but the result was too minor.

"Old Gao, load the shells." Although Tang Zheng had brushed up on some artillery knowledge, expecting him to master the use of the cannon quickly was pure wishful thinking. Being able to fire the cannon was already good enough. Besides, the shells on the autoloader were exhausted, greatly limiting the fire rate. However, Tang Zheng had already bought some time, and the armored car charged into the church.

"Hurry, close the doors, set up defenses, be careful inside the church." Tang Zheng opened the hatch and jumped out, hastily running towards the entrance. Old Gao and Dantai were the quickest to react, and Qin Yan wasn’t too slow either. The others were several seconds behind.

The church was not safe either. A dozen ghouls immediately sprang from the corners, biting at Lu Fan, who had just jumped off the war chariot. Little Lolita kneeled on one knee, her G36C pointed steadily at them. As soon as Tan Hui got out, she saw this scene and was frightened into almost hiding again. She was just a newbie who had been through one round of the Trojan Horse Game and was far from adapted to such carnage.

Fortunately, Gao Yu was not useless beyond redemption. With the help of Old Pavel, they managed to kill these monsters, narrowly avoiding disaster.

The team, that had been reduced to less than a hundred people, stretched out like a long line. The closest ones were about ten meters from the main entrance, and the farthest ones still had thirty meters to go. And twenty meters behind them, there were more than a dozen of the fastest ghouls.

At this moment, Tang Zheng was standing at the church entrance, having switched his AK74M to automatic fire, showering the ghouls chasing the female models with bullets. As for the lagging juvenile soldiers, he was powerless to help.

As the bullets whizzed past them, the female models all turned pale with fear. One of them, her nerves evidently inferior, had her legs weaken and she stumbled, falling to the ground and instantly falling behind the rest.

The ghouls, of course, would not miss such an opportunity and pounced wildly.

"Damn." Seeing the newbie in danger, Tang Zheng did not care about maintaining secrecy. He loosened his grip on the AK74M, pulled the Thunderstorm rifle from his wristwatch and fired a volley of bullets.

Fist-sized lightning balls whistled past, exploding upon impact with the ghouls, immediately blowing them to pieces. Blood splattered, and severed limbs rained down from the sky.

The fallen model screamed, tried to get up, but was covered in flesh and blood, making her even more frightened. With her feet slipping beneath her, she fell again.

"Lu Fan, come here and fire the grenades!" Tang Zheng shouted. Liu Yue pushed the church doors over as soon as she heard him and got down beside Tang Zheng, firing her SVD. Qin Yan’s Howling Reaper also opened fired. However, the situation became more critical as the radiation scorpions rushed up.

One had its scorpion claw shot off, and the second one took advantage of its cover, successfully catching up to the fallen model. Its pincer quickly reached out, gripping her tightly. With a hard squeeze, the model was cut in half.

The model’s terrified scream abruptly ended. The lower half of her body fell to the ground, intestines and blood spilling everywhere.

Li Meilian, who had run into the church, turned back for a look and saw this horrifying sight. She immediately felt sick and started to vomit. This escape operation did not allow for even the smallest mistake, as a tiny blunder could cost a life.

The intrusion of the radiation scorpions made the ghouls halt momentarily. They clearly didn’t want to interact with these creatures and kept a certain distance away. But the radioactive wasps flew over.

"Close the door, close the door. We can’t wait any longer." Seeing that there were still a dozen or so juvenile soldiers outside, Gao Yu shouted loudly. Those kids were physically the weakest. "The iron door is too heavy; it takes time to close."

"Close the door." Tang Zheng bent down, grabbed Liu Yue by the collar of her clothes, and dragged her back. As soon as they had the chance, Old Pavel and the others immediately moved to close the door of the church.

"Wait for us." The lagging young soldiers shouted, but no one felt any pity for them. Wrapped in iron, the heavy door completely blocked their hope for survival. Through the last slit, Tang Zheng saw a radioactive wasp ruthlessly piercing the chest of one of the juvenile soldiers.

The entire church was filled with the smell of blood and rotting wood, but no one cared. They all slumped to the ground, panting heavily, sounding as if their lungs were about to rupture.

Tang Zheng didn’t idle around, taking out a strip of remote-controlled TNT explosives and setting them up by the main entrance. He knew this door wouldn’t hold for long and that other defense strategies needed to be set up.

"Tang Zheng, why didn’t you use the power armor to escape?" Dantai Zongqi sat on a bench, taking advantage of the break to ask Tang Zheng a question. "If you were worried about Lu Fan and Qin Yan, you could have taken them, couldn’t you?"

Everyone’s eyes fell on Tang Zheng, waiting for his reply.

"I’m the one who brought you into the Kremlin; I’ll do my best to take you out alive." Tang Zheng clenched his teeth in anger; this predicament was entirely due to his strategic errors.

His assertive words immediately won him the favor of the young soldiers. However, they did not realize that Tang Zheng was more concerned about the deaths of the new members than their safety.

"It’s not uncle’s fault. Who could have guessed that this was a nest of ghouls? Besides, if they hadn’t come out, staying in the gathering place wouldn’t have been safe either. Fighting was inevitable." Lu Fan felt that his uncle was not at fault. "Plus, the three deceased models made their own blunders. You’d already done more than enough. If they’d been more mindful, they could have survived."
