Living Dead's

Chapter 42 - Always Getting Sick

Xi Zihe's eyes were rounded as he looked through the binoculars. He looked at the zombies that were besieging the troops behind.

Xi Zihe felt a chill run through his entire body.

Whatisthis? Why do they know how to surround?

Li Yan who was looking through the scope also felt anxious. Only one thing was on their minds at the moment.

Zombies can think.

***

"Damn! What the fuck is this situation!" Yao Yue who was looking at the situation of the back, became stop moving to advance.

The three of them stopped walking and shot at the zombies with their backs to each other.

"Yao Yue, we better join the team at the front!" Shen Yuan suggested as he fired a shot at the broken-bodied zombie in front of him.

"I think so too!" Then Yao Yue started to slowly advance.

Song Yi was in the most desperate position, as she had to follow along as well as shoot by walking backwards.

They walked very slowly like snails. Yet Yao Yue tried very hard to pave the way. Eventually, they were able to get past the zombies and join the front team. The gap they made was quickly filled up again by the zombies chasing from behind.

They joined forces with Wen Fan and Lu Lin who were behind the barricade. Their situation is almost the same. Wen Fan's troops were still fighting shooting at the zombies.

Yao Yue roared towards them, "Why haven't you guys killed the leader yet?!"

Wen Fan replied in a bewildered tone, "The zombie is very strange... When there's a bullet coming, he's using another zombie's body to block it."

Shen Yuan in a grim tone that everyone could hear, "They could think. Although it's just a primitive way of hunting."

Lu Lin ruffled his hair in frustration, "Ah, shit!"

Wen Fan said towards the walkie talkie in his grasp. "Captain, can Li Yan shoot those zombies?"

Xi Zihe's distorted voice came a moment later. "Li Yan had already tried to shoot him. But the zombie didn't fall."

Everyone held a cold breath.

"What the fuck?! Is the fat too thick?!" Yao Yue immediately roared.

"Do you think his head is fat too?" Wei Qian in the back commented.

Xi Zihe's voice came again from the walkie talkie, "Use the Sweet One."

Shen Yuan's brows furrowed in confusion, Sweetie?

Lu Lin's voice of disapproval rang out in the middle of the shot. "No!! That's my last Sweetie!"

"Lu Lin, shut up! My ears hurt!" Yao Yue who was next to him felt his eardrum almost break. Lu Lin's voice was louder than his shot.

Wen Fan immediately decided, "Let's use that, before our bullets run out."

Lu Lin had no other choice. He put his submachine gun to the ground, and opened the bag he was carrying. Lu Lin quickly took out a shield-penetrating bullet and took over the Type-89 heavy machine gun.

Lu Lin smelled the only remaining shield-penetrating bullet, before stuffing it into the barrel. Shen Yuan tried her hardest not to roll her eyes when she saw that scene.

Lu Lin used both of his arms to prop up the rifle. He narrowed his eyes and aimed through the scope.  The others provided space for Lu Lin to shoot.

They saw the zombie approaching. The zombies carried a foul scent blowing across them.

Bang out! Bang out! Bang

The others kept trying to shoot at the zombie. The sentence had no effect on him, the large-bodied zombie walked directly towards them.

The zombie body that looked over 100 kilograms was like a wall in front of them. On his nails and mouth there was blood and flesh attached.

At a distance of less than five meters, Lu Lin pressed the trigger.

BANG

Immediately after releasing the trigger, Lu Lin tried to escape, but it was too late. Since he was at the very front, the blood and zombie fluid instantly splashed the back of his back.

The bodies of the zombies had already turned into small pieces and vanished from their sight.

"Retreat! Back now!" Wen Fan roared, resuscitating everyone from the previous incident.

"Forget the zombies behind, back off now!"

They immediately ran as hard as they could towards the dormitory.

***

Yang Ruisi placed the last bag of Nitrocellulose, then retreated towards where the barricade was located. A while later, the people who were at the forefront walked into the courtyard.

The survivors have been waiting for a long time. Men, women, old and young work together to unite the wire fence and then tie it using a metal chain. In the next moment, the dark shadows of zombies began to appear at the end of the road. The moans of zombies started to sound closer and closer, flowing like waves of the sea.

They are more numerous than expected.

They knew that there was a wire fence separating them, but seeing so many rotten and disgusting undead coming towards them, fear began to arise uncontrollably. Many of them started screaming and feeling weak.

Sweatily, Yang Ruisi shouted, "Don't be afraid! Our defense can hold him!"

Yang Ruisi's shout stopped the crowd that retreated in fear.

The next moment, the zombies had made their way onto the street, entering the stretch of Nitrocellulose that Shen Yuan and Yang Ruisi had already spread, almost 50 meters long.

Yang Ruisi raised the gun, and without hesitation pulled the trigger, aiming right at where Nitrocellulose was.

Explosions shook the earth. The flames spewed out, reaching into the night sky under the eyes of everyone who was shocked, creeping and roaring towards the zombies.

With a blaze, Nitrocellulose exploded!

Fifty meters of asphalt exploded, cement and trees flew into the air. Zombies were torn apart in a blaze that looked like hellfire.

When the explosion occurred, everyone screamed in shock, then began to be replaced with crazy cheers.

The last explosion of the explosives was lit up brightly. The zombies were completely cleaned up, and the smoke from the explosion covered the path filled with blood and charred flesh.

***

Ten minutes later, in the front yard of the dorm.

"Don't come near me! Yuck..." Yao Yue shouted loudly towards Lu Lin. Then, unable to bear the smell, she vomited again.

Everyone started giving mineral water to those who had just returned from the front lines. However, no one was willing to give it to Lu Lin because he was covered in blood and a zombie liquid that smelled so foul.

Lu Lin stood up gloomily, then looked at the people around him. "Does it smell that bad?"

Wei Qian turned her head, panting as she tried to cover her nose wearing a shirt, "Well, that's how it is, Lin-ge."

In revenge, Lu Lin nosily approached towards them, and they all immediately retreated.

Yao Yue was furious, as a girl she very much disliked the stench, "Don't come any closer! Or I'm castrating you now!" Yao Yue aimed his military boots right between Lu Lin's feet.

Lu Lin dodged in fear. "Why are you all so mean to me?! If it wasn't for me killing those zombies, would I have smelled like this?! At least appreciate my hard work!"

They all pretended not to hear and averted their eyes.

"Dad, look at their behavior!" Lu Lin approached towards Shen Yuan, yet Shen Yuan quietly retreated a few steps.

Lu Lin stopped his steps, he looked on in disbelief. "Even Dad doesn't recognize me anymore!"

Lu Lin crouched down miserably on the edge of the flowerbed, drawing a circle on the ground using a twig. He stopped drawing as he saw Feifei heading towards him with a bottle of mineral water.

"Huhoo... Feifei is my little angel."

But suddenly Feifei stopped at a distance of ten meters from him. He bent down and placed a bottle of mineral water on the ground. He then kicked out using his small legs, making the bottle roll towards Lu Lin, then he turned around and ran away without turning his head.

Lu Lin roared with heartache, "Where is my little angel?!"
