Chapter 545: Chapter 20: Massacre of a Thousand People

Given Tang Zheng’s current strength, even with one person in tow, his speed wouldn’t decrease. Saving the truck driver was just an aside, and it also let the newbies know that he was a good and kind person.

"Save me!" Liu Hui’ai, Lin Haifeng’s girlfriend, seemed to have found a glimmer of hope when she saw Tang Zheng rescuing someone. An incredible strength burst forth from her body, as she lunged towards Tang Zheng, grabbing onto his pant leg. She wished the truck driver would die faster so that Tang Zheng could spare some energy to save her.

"Bitch, stop pulling." The truck driver cursed. His body was riddled with wounds from the zombie dog bites, causing his nerves to be in such pain that they were almost misfiring. All he wanted to do was survive, oblivious to the fact that his comment might incite Tang Zheng’s disapproval. However, his survival journey came to an end here.

A bullet whistled through the air, boring into the truck driver’s chest and puncturing a hole the size of a bowl, killing him instantly. If he had chosen the protective gear initially, he could have held on for a little longer.

Liu Hui’ai gave a joyous smirk upon witnessing his death.

"He’s dead." Lin Weiguo reminded, as he removed the bullet chain from the Howling Reaper and took out the Gravity weapon to shoot at the zombies.

The rotten and grey-skinned Nazi zombies at the front, swollen like inflated balls, suddenly exploded with a bang. Body parts and fragments splattered around while heads rolled in every direction.

The growls of the zombie dog pack grew louder, finally catching up. Their rapid sprint made the ship’s deck shake slightly.

Tang Zheng pulled Liu Hui’ai up by her collar and ran towards the restaurant. Qin Yan, Lu Fan, and the others provided firepower support, clearing the zombies for them. Dantai swept through possible sniper hideouts with his Gauss sniper rifle.

Aima curled up in a corner with her hands over her head, her face pale. The gruesome and disgusting appearances of the Nazi zombies almost made her retch out her dinner. A strong stench of decay was wafting around.

"Are we going to get infected?" Cai Nan, who had watched Biohazard before, was worried, "Will we turn into zombies?"

"You haven’t been bitten, have you?" Hu Xiaoyan screamed, quickly moving away from her as if she had seen a bug.

"You won’t get infected!" Pang Meiqin scolded irritably, "Just stay by the wall, don’t get in the way."

Feeling relatively safe, Ruan Feifei calmed down. She crawled over to the window with her rifle, preparing to shoot at the zombies. She was still focused on getting seeds. The mature woman was also doing the same, trying to kill zombies to earn points.

Thump! Liu Hui’ai, thrown by Tang Zheng from a distance of three meters, was almost suffocating when she landed in the restaurant. Her protective gear was drenched in drool from the zombie dogs. There were quite a lot of tears on it, caused by bites. Her hair was disheveled, she was stained all over and was panting heavily on the floor after stumbling into the restaurant. The joy of surviving the calamity brought tears streaming down her face.

"What are you looking at?" The newbies looked at Lin Haifeng, who avoided their gaze and didn’t bother helping his girlfriend.

No sooner had Tang Zheng finished dealing with Liu Hui’ai the burden, the vanguard of the zombie dogs had already rushed to the top. There were over a hundred of them.

Qin Yan’s Doomsday Predator’s 500-round ammo clip was insufficient. These mutated zombie dogs were different from the few dozen before. Their skin was as hard as steel. Even large bullets could only kill one or two at most, and couldn’t penetrate their lines at all.

Lu Fan retrieved his Gauss sniper rifle and fired at the pack of zombie dogs. The armor-piercing high-explosive rounds tore the first one apart and burrowed into the pack, tearing apart a three-meter long hole with pieces of zombies flying everywhere. The results were impressive, but against a pack of around a thousand dogs, it was like a drop in the ocean.

Ruan Feifei and the mature woman emptied a clip, but hadn’t killed a single dog. They couldn’t help but exchange a horrified glance. What would happen to the newbies if the Conquerors hadn’t been holding the line? This time they truly understood the benefits of having strong teammates in the team.

Tang Zheng took out the Terminator again and aimed at the pack. As the gun barrel rotated, the bullets it fired formed six dark red rays of light. Wherever they hit, they ripped the zombie dogs to pieces.

Suppressing with a barrage, corpses flying.

Without the sense of fear, the zombie dog pack trampled over their fallen comrades and relentlessly lunged at Tang Zheng like a surging tide in a storm, trying to bite him to death.

Tang Zheng stood like a rock, blocking them completely. A pile of yellow casings were ejected, clinking onto the deck, forming a coppery layer in just a few seconds.

At this moment, the otherwise silent seascape was swept by the dense gunfire, leaving no other sounds to be heard.

Seeing an invisible line of separation between the zombie dogs and Tang Zheng, the newbies noticed that whenever the dogs lunged towards him, they were shot down seven meters from him. In a few breaths’ time, a pile of flesh and corpses a meter high was also stacked, and dark red blood seeped and flowed around.

"We won." Hu Xiaoyan had barely uttered these words when she was shocked, almost popping her eyeballs out as the gunshots suddenly stopped and the gun barrel stopped rotating. She was not that foolish not to realize Tang Zheng had run out of bullets.

"What now?" Not just her, everyone else was also anxiously asking the same question. Without the suppressing barrage, the pack of zombie dogs seemed like beasts let loose from a cage, lunging towards Tang Zheng at once and completely engulfing him. The growling of the zombie dogs once again became the Bohemian’s main tune.

"Priest, bless us with strength and agility!" Divine Guardian vanished in a flash, completing the bonus effect in one second. A golden halo enveloped Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng retreated back to the Terminator, a curved knife in his right hand and Snow Daiwa in his left. Without tearing them apart, he horizontally placed them at his sides. A slight shift of his feet allowed the zombie dogs to launch themselves at him.

The two top quality cold weapons were incredibly sharp, like a dinner knife slicing through butter. They used the counterforce to smoothly cut off the heads of the zombie dogs into two pieces.

The blade was so sharp that to the newbies, the scene looked like a magic show. A zombie dog would cross the blade, land a few seconds later, even turn around and prepare for another attack. But at that moment, its head would split into two and it would fall to the ground, blood spurting out.

Tang Zheng slashed left and right, protecting his body and creating a flurry of sword light. In the illumination of the top lights, it was like sudden flashes of ’lightning’, forming a spherical ball of light.

Zombie dogs would keep rushing and being knocked away. However, as time passed, their barking became quieter until there were only two or three puppies left.

With a bang, Lin Weiguo put down the last zombie dog. He looked at the fierce Tang Zheng with admiration. At least three hundred dog corpses were lying beside him, all killed by a deadly strike that split their heads into two.

"How much concentration and explosive power does this take?" Dantai asked himself. He could kill a zombie dog, but he definitely couldn’t do it to this extent. However, if you don’t destroy the brain of a zombie, it is not considered dead. Even if there is only the head left, these monsters would continue to attack humans. Thinking of this, Dantai felt a little disappointed.

"So fierce." Ruan Feifei couldn’t help but admire, Tang Zheng at this moment was like a war god, full of masculinity.

Tang Zheng glanced at a dog’s head on the ground that was overlooked and didn’t finish it off. He ran towards the restaurant, as his strength was seriously depleted. If another wave of zombie dogs came, he would not be able to carry on.

Thick clouds of blood spread in the fog, gradually scattering with the sea breeze. There was a revolting stench and a pungent smell everywhere.

"Uncle, are you hurt?" When Lu Fan saw that Tang Zheng’s earlobe was gone and blood was dripping down, staining half of his neck and shoulder red, he shed tears of pain.

"It’s okay, just a minor injury." Tang Zheng didn’t care, surviving was more important than anything else.

"This is the ’thousand men cut’, no, ’thousand dogs cut’, isn’t it?" Qin Yan teased Tang Zheng and laughed, "Go and rest for a while, and let us handle the rest."

Only halfway through the half-hour punishment time had passed, fully armed Nazi zombies rushed up the stairs again, interspersed with several super powerful giant zombies.

"Don’t let them shoot, hit the ones with big firepower first." The old soldier temporarily took command, and ’Iron Fist’ carriers were given priority

Lu Fan switched to high-explosive incendiary bullets, a shot would create four or five burning corpses. They were much more fragile compared to zombie dogs, but the giant zombies were a big problem. Once the two Terminators opened fire, everyone would be suppressed.

"Use the RPG to bomb it, we also have heavy firepower." Lu Fan took out dozens of AT-4 anti-tank rocket launchers and threw them on the ground. He picked one up, opened its safety device, prepared to ignite it, and slung it over his shoulder. Through the plastic adjustable sighting device, he locked on to the giant zombie.

"I’m about to shoot, move away from me." After Lu Fan shouted, he pulled the trigger, and with a pound, a hot flame was sprayed out from the gun barrel. Thankfully, everyone was warned and did not stay in the afterburner area, otherwise they would definitely get burns.

The rocket hit the giant zombie, tearing its flesh and revealing its bones. With three consecutive shots, it was blown off the top floor.

Dantai also started using the AT-4 to clean the deck. A piece of Nazi zombies was wiped out. He knew that without Tang Zheng’s reserve of these heavy firearms, the punishment time would never pass so easily.

"The punishment troops are getting stronger and stronger." Lin Weiguo sighed. As it turned out, the stronger the team, the stronger the monsters. It was impossible to farm for points.

"Guard the rest of the five staircases well, don’t let zombies find their way through." As soon as Tang Zheng finished speaking, zombies started running from the distant deck, obviously coming from other stairs.

With solid fortifications for protection, the following battles became a lot safer. When they made it past, the newbies all had a sense of surviving a calamity looking at the broken corpses on the deck. As for the dead professor and truck driver, no one gave them a second glance.

Liu Hui’ai was injured, but Tang Zheng and the others would not waste C-level medicine for her. Giving her a first aid kit bought from the real world was already considered an act of charity.

No one wanted to help Liu Hui’ai apply medicine. Ruan Feifei and Manli were originally planning to earn some goodwill, but now they were thinking about cleaning the battlefield. They were in desperate need of weapons and ammunition.

Liu Hui’ai glared at her boyfriend, wishing she could peel a layer of skin off him.

"Go pick up the spoils of war before the bodies respawn, don’t mind me." Tang Zheng dismissed the newbies with a wave of his hand. Qin Yan was applying a band-aid to Tang Zheng’s earlobe, and little Lolita had already run off, wanting to snatch the seeds.

The newbies were scared by the Nazi zombies and dared not leave on their own, sticking with Tang Zheng. Ruan Feifei, however, bit her lip, gathered her courage and ran off. Manli quickly called Hu Xiaoyan to follow, and chased after her.
