Chapter 544: Chapter 19: Mad Slaughter and Reduction (3rd update, 10,000 words)_2

Tang Zheng glanced upwards to see a giant zombie, similar to the Green Giant, with dual Terminators in its hands, firing ceaselessly like a shredding machine and pinning down Dantai and his team.

If the young woman Xin Lan was present, the defense and offense would be easier. Hand grenades flung about the giant zombie’s proximity, engulfing it in explosions. However, the onslaught did not cease, as the beast’s ammunition box was brimming with thousands of bullets.

Chu Baichuan didn’t want his wife to get hurt, so he resorted to brute force—grabbing zombies and throwing them at the giant zombie’s head, where a loud explosion burst as chunks of flesh rained down like hail. While the zombie’s vision was obstructed, Chu Baichuan slipped out, grabbing the upper half of a zombie corpse and aiming it at the giant creature.

Boom, the mixing of flames and shockwaves swallowed the giant zombie. Taking advantage of this diversion, Chu Baichuan successfully approached it, touching its gun’s barrel with one hand, while placing the other on the creature’s knee.

Boom, boom, boom, Chu Baichuan released his ability, triggering explosions by setting off the hand grenades and bullets on the zombie’s body. It vanished under the rain of explosions, and the sound of gunfire dulled as the Terminator was blown up.

Using the recoil from the blast, Chu Baichuan made his safe return, gasping for breath as beads of sweat filled his forehead. The adrenal rush from the dangerous situation had his heart pounding at a rampant pace.

Bang, bang, Lu Fan’s Gauss sniper rifle began to fire. Armor-piercing incendiary high-explosive rounds hit the giant zombie’s head, effectively blowing it up until its headless body crashed with a thud onto the deck.

It took them nearly five minutes to reach the top floor via the stairs. Gazing at a near seventy-meter-high platform filled with various play facilities, the newbies didn’t know which direction to run. Just when they were about to ask, the truck driver shrieked and collapsed, blood seeping out from his body. This scared Hu Xiaoyan who was next to him, causing her to jump.

"It’s a sniper. Run towards the dining hall!" Dantai sharply spotted the bullet hole on the truck driver’s thigh, likely made by a Mauser 98K.

The newbies were too panicked and scrambled in the suggested direction in fear of being the next victim. They couldn’t worry about the shot truck driver, who could no longer walk.

With his wife in his arms, Chu Baichuan sprinted like a rabbit, changing direction and speed thanks to the reminder from Ai Yixin.

Qin Yan and Lu Fan proved to be strong judges of the situation, estimating the sniper’s position based on the truck driver’s wounds and instantly suppressing the sniper with their firepower.

Scared for her life, Xu Biyun didn’t think twice about her ability’s massive power consumption and summoned an Iron puppet as her meat shield. Pang Meiqin took advantage of the cover, and when, Ruan Feifei tried to join them, she was shooed away by the long-legged stewardess with a glare.

"Don’t leave me. Save me," begged the truck driver, tears streaking down his face as he crawled on the ground pleading for help, "Please, lend me a hand."

No one replied. They were all focused on escaping.

There were two individuals in the team who were over fifty years old. The old professor, who initially chose firearms, was now overexerting himself and couldn’t keep up with the team’s pace and stumbled. The old cleaner, however, kept up, thanks to the doubled stamina provided by his protective clothing.

"You bastards, save me!" The truck driver let out a desperate scream when a bullet hit the ground near him.

Bang, there was more than one sniper as a woman, who happened to be a man’s girlfriend, got shot next. She fell to the ground, her cheek scraping the deck, which knocked out a tooth and caused a nosebleed.

"Haifeng!" The woman called to her boyfriend for help, but he didn’t even glance back with a determined look on his face.

Qin Yan and Chu Baichuan were hit too, but thankfully, their protective clothing left them uninjured.

Bang, Xu Biyun hurriedly plunged into the restaurant, dropped down, and rolled into a corner. The team members followed suit and hastily laid down on the floor. Finally, they all heaved a sigh of relief and gradually felt their raging heartbeats calming down, as a sense of surviving a calamity washed over them.

"Cough, you three heartless people. Cough, students, you don’t even care about your teacher?" The old professor was still struggling to run while coughing and cursing at his students.

The newbies looked at the three students, their faces white with anger. Chen Jiarong couldn’t hold back his anger and cursed, "You old pervert, don’t think I don’t know what you did to Shan Shan."

"Despicable man, you should’ve died a long time ago." Cai Nan also joined in the denouncement of the old professor, blurted out many secrets, while the older student beside her kept crying.

The newbies looked at each other and found it amusing, not expecting to see such an ugly display even in a matter of life and death.

"You, none of you will ever graduate!" The old professor was nearly out of breath, but he didn’t have a chance to catch his breath. He was the only healthy person left outside the dining hall, and the zombie sniper wasn’t about to let him escape, turning the Mauser 98K towards him.

Bang, two shots hit him in the chest and leg, and the old professor immediately fell, letting out a shriek from his throat.

"Bah, self-righteous, getting what you deserve." Zhao Guangji spat out, staring at the female university student next to Cai Nan. The girl, who had no presence, was clearly the shy and introverted type. No wonder she ended up being a target.

Dantai and Qin Yan moved their eyes to the muzzle, using the professor as bait to locate the sniper while covering for Tang Zheng and the old soldier who were about to rush up.

"You... animals..." The old professor’s curses stopped abruptly. Bang, a bullet rotated through his temples and flew out from his right eye socket, sending his skull flying into the sky.

Thud, watching the old professor’s body fall, the truck driver and Lin Haifeng’s woman turned pale with fear, struggling to climb towards the dining hall.

It wasn’t just the sniper, a large horde of Nazi zombies also rushed over. However, the most prominent were a few zombie dogs. They sprinted like arrows, barking wildly, encircling the truck driver and Haifeng’s girlfriend, tearing and biting chunks of flesh from their bodies.

Hearing their screams, the newbies turned pale and couldn’t help but look up. Two people were trying to drive away the zombie dogs to no avail. As soon as the truck driver emptied his clip, a dog immediately pounced on him, biting his shoulder and dragging him backwards while the others swarmed him.

Lin Haifeng’s girlfriend wore protective clothing, which saved her from the zombie dog’s bites for a moment. However, being surrounded and bitten by seven or eight dogs felt like falling into hell, with views of rotten and bad-smelling zombie dogs and the sound of barking and saliva dripping in her ears...

This woman was torn so much that she couldn’t stand still. But to add insult to injury, the sniper hadn’t ’cared’ for her.

Tang Zheng and Lin Weiguo killed another wave of approaching zombies and rushed to the top floor. They saw the body of the old professor and the two unlucky ones getting ripped apart by zombie dogs. Without saying a word, they positioned their muzzles and started shooting.

Da Da Da, amid the crisp single-shot sounds, the zombie dogs fell like dead catfish.

"There’s a sniper." Tang Zheng immediately guessed the reason why they were abandoned. Of course, this also had something to do with the two’s interpersonal skills. If they had been a bit more sociable, the Conquerors would definitely help them.

Boom, Dantai took over Lu Fan’s Gauss sniper rifle and fired at the sniper’s hideout position. The wall of an ice cream shop across the way was immediately blown open with a half-meter radius hole.

"Help... help me." The truck driver coughed up a mouthful of blood, reaching out to Tang Zheng as he ran over, desperate for him to lend a hand.

Tang Zheng switched the gun to his left hand, grabbed the collar of the truck driver, and dragged him back to the dining hall. Lin Weiguo didn’t say anything, spraying bullets at the nearing zombie horde.

"Thank..." When Tang Zheng came to his rescue, a glimmer of life erupted in the truck driver’s eyes, and gratitude filled his face with tears.

"That idiot Tang Zheng, playing the good samaritan again, bringing him back is another burden," Pang Meiqin watched, more and more frustrated, while the newbies kept silent, subconsciously raising their heads to watch the battle outside.
