Living Dead's

Chapter 50 - Saved

It was already at half-four in the morning, the darkest period before the arrival of dawn. The moon is hiding, the stars are invisible, and the dark earth is sheathed in ink.

The six of them shivered in coldness. Wen Fan looked at his multifunctional military watch. The -7°C.

Due to the rush, the six of them did not wear thick clothes so their skin turned pale from the cold. Their lips slowly turned purplish blue. The six of them tried to stay close to each other, trying their best to curl up into a ball to keep the warmth.

A large group of zombies had already broken through the iron door that was below, how long would the door that was sustained by the wreckage last? And if when zombies start looking for a source of noise, the six of them will turn into a morning snack for zombies!

So they try not to make the slightest sound. They are even careful when taking a breath.

Time passed to 05:30 in the morning.

The dark night began to be replaced with a slightly bright and clear sky. Peering from the roof of the building, the previous sea of zombies was somewhat reduced, perhaps the other part continued its migration southwards. Damaged and destroyed industrial zones are visible in the distance. The bodies of the zombies are still seen scattered.

Shen Yuan felt fatigue running all over his body. Many times he felt like closing his eyes to rest, yet he held it all his might and forced himself to stay awake.

Will Xi Zihe come back?

To be honest, he himself was not so sure.

There was no compelling reason that required Xi Zihe to return. Instead, he should not have come back. He must lead the team and protect two vehicles filled with survivors. He was the captain of the special forces, with him alive, he could save even more lives.

But he was Xi Zihe.

He brings hope even in dark and desperate times that make everyone trust him with their lives. No matter what situation he faced, he would save human lives. Especially if it was the life of his comrade-in-arms, without a doubt he would return.

Yao Yue exhaled slowly, creating white steam in the air. He raised his head, looked into the distance, his eyes sweeping aimlessly at the sea of zombies.

He had already done this action many times over the past hour. But this time something caught his attention.

Yao Yue immediately jumped to his feet.

Along the road in the distance, the car's lights lit up brightly, followed by the roar of an engine that was getting closer. Zombies that were too slow to dodge, were smashed to the ground under their wheels.

The car went straight to the center of the building surrounded by a sea of zombies. Leisurely, Xi Zihe was seen creeping up onto the roof of the vehicle with a machine gun on his shoulder.

Xi Zihe immediately stepped down and positioned his type 89 machine gun.

"Death!"

The type-89 machine gun spewed bullets, accompanied by Xi Zihe's swearing and yelling for the zombies.

Xi Zihe stuck out his head and shouted, "Wei Qian! Beware at 2 o'clock!"

Wei Qian's eyes flashed sharply. With his hands on the steering wheel, Wei Qian shifted the gears of the vehicle. The black Land Rover did some perfect drifts, creating a bloody path like an F1 car and ruthlessly flying many zombies into a pulp.

"Oh wow..."

"A really cool look."

"God, how come I never knew Wei Qian's driving ability was this good?"

The six of them gathered, stood on the edge of the roof and watched the car attraction show performed by Wei Qian. Even Wen Fan used the fence to prop himself up to stay standing. If only they had a kuaci, the show would have been even more exciting! But now they could only settle for eating the cold wind...

Xi Zihe grabbed the grenade that was on his belt, removed the key using his teeth, and unhesitatingly threw it in the back where the zombies began to encircle.

BOOMING

In the morning, the explosion created from the bomb followed the winding path, clearing the zombies that were on the way. The Land Rover was speeding away against the background of a black and red explosion. Giving illusions to someone is like watching a Hollywood action movie.

With a loud tire squeak, the black Land Rover stopped in front of the dormitory.

Xi Zihe stood on the roof of the vehicle, he smiled brightly.

"My daughter!"

"All of you!"

Yao Yue's jaw dropped as he looked towards Xi Zihe, his expression as if he was looking at the protagonist of a movie. He could not believe his eyes, repeatedly rubbing his eyes viciously.

Li Yan next to him was already roaring, "Captain! Even if it's just for a second, I miss you!"

Li Yan had never felt this happy when she saw that abnormal Captain.

When they saw Xi Zihe, they seemed to have forgotten their tiredness and coldness. They just want to shout to express their excitement.

"Captain, We love youuu!!"

Wen Fan also shouted, "Quick! We're freezing!"

Shen Yuan looked from the side with eyes filled with relief. Their fight lasted more than five hours against zombies in the cold night was not in vain. Xi Zihe did not betray their trust.

Xi Zihe laughed, "Look and study! Captain Xi will show you the secret techniques of Batman!"

From inside his bag, Xi Zihe took out something that looked like an Uzi machine gun. But the barrel has a device that can shoot triangular projectiles. They realized that Xi Zihe was carrying a grappling gun.

"Retreat! Avoid!" Seeing that, Yao Yue directly instructed the others to take a few steps back.

After that, they heard a ringing sound. Projectiles with ropes tied to them swept past their heads, and penetrated right into the cement walls.

The other end of the projectile is attached to the roof of the car. The rope stretched from the ground to the top of the six-story building. In the vast sky, those thin ropes became a bridge for survival.

Li Yan immediately looked for a piece of rope to tie Wen Fan behind his back. Then ask the others, "You guys first or me?"

They answered, "You first!"

Li Yan took a deep breath, then spoke in a prayer-like tone, "Godiku Hatsune Miku, please don't let me fall!"

Wen Fan who was behind him could only cover his face in embarrassment.

Li Yan tightened her military gloves, she jumped off the building, and caught the rope quickly.

Wen Fan behind him was so tense that he clasped Li Yan's shoulder hard, while praying that Goddess Miku would give her blessing.

The wind shook his hair as he slid straight down from a height of over 20 meters. With knees on the roof, Xi Zihe prepared and caught the two of them. Due to the excessive weight, Xi Zihe was slightly pushed back and hit the roof of the car hard. After which, Li Yan immediately stuffed the injured Wen Fan into the car.

Xi Zihe shouted back, "Let's go next! Just think of it like playing a flying fox!"

Han Yu who was an ordinary civilian could not help but complain inside.

Where did you find the unsecured flying fox and underneath it was a collection of zombies?!

But he still had to brace himself to slide down. And a terrifying cry immediately sounded as he slid.

Song Yi and Yao Yue immediately took turns to slide down. Shen Yuan was the last.

With Xi Zihe guarding the bottom, they had nothing to fear about zombies.

Shen Yuan exhaled heavily. To be honest, he's a bit of a height phobia.

"Dad, I'm first. Whooooooo!" After leaving that sentence, Yao Yue happily enjoyed the sensation of sliding over the zombie herd.

"Dad, come!" Xi Zihe below was already preparing.

Shen Yuan took a deep breath. He removed his leather belt and used it as a gliding device. His white shirt flapped in the wind as he slid down.

Xi Zihe immediately caught him, and when he made sure he had already stepped on the ground, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, get out of here!"

Xi Zihe gave the last shot to the zombies before getting into the vehicle.

Wei Qian immediately stepped on the gas pedal, did a flawless drift, and immediately left the factory dorm area behind them.
