Living Dead's

Chapter 63 - Something Familiar

Their faces all paled looking at the zombies flocking towards them. The mouths of the zombies opened wide as they roared and shouted.

"Cursed!"

Xi Zihe sprayed out a row of absorbent vows before he loudly shouted. "Yao Yue, Get ready! Li Yan's! When are you going to sleep down there?! Get up and get in the helicopter!"

Li Yan, who was considered to be 'sleeping' had just tried to get up from under the helicopter. He protested after coughing twice, "What do you mean by those sleepings?! Oh, my old back..."

Li Yan stroked his waist lightly before starting to move towards the second helicopter.

Song Yi who was blown away due to the explosion had docked back to where their team had gathered. With his machine gun, he helped take down the zombies that were running towards them.

Amidst the chaos, Shen Yuan searched for the strange zombie. His eyes swept past the crowd of other zombies, yet he was unable to see those zombies anymore.

But there was one thing from that zombie that made Shen Yuan want to confirm it once again with his eyes on the head.

He sure saw it right.

A wedding ring.

The zombie wears a familiar wedding ring on its ring finger.

I'm sure I didn't see it wrong, the ring!

As Shen Yuan's mind was engulfed in chaos, a voice struck his eardrum.

"Dad!"

Seeing Shen Yuan like he was in a daze, Xi Zihe called out to him very loudly amidst the sound of gunfire. "What are you looking for?! A sexy zombie?!"

This fellow...

The blood vessels on Shen Yuan's forehead twitched, he tried to contain his anger. It was impossible to think about that in a situation like this. Thus, Shen Yuan put aside what he saw behind his head. The most important thing right now is to survive.

Shen Yuan took a heavy breath. Every time he did, he felt his chest hurt. But he kept trying to hold on and raised his gun.

The two of them were guarding in front as Xi Zihe was preparing the mortar behind him.

"I'm ready!" Xi Zihe lifted the mortar, and with a long eruption, the runway was level with the ground. The shattered pieces of zombie flesh flew into the sky, gushing upwards like a fountain.

After some metallic clanging sounds, Yao Yue shouted, "I'm done!"

Li Yan's side of the other helicopter was also finished, "Captain, come on!"

The doors of two large helicopters were forced open by the military crowbar. Xi Zihe carefully observed the runway on the field, making sure that there were no more large groups of zombies before packing the mortar. Shen Yuan and Song Yi quickly picked up their equipment that was thrown to the ground during the shootout and threw everything into the helicopter haphazardly.

The explosion made the zombies alert. The zombies who were wearing ordinary clothes and military clothes, their faces drooped as they began to move staggered back.

"Song Yi, don't shoot anymore!" Xi Zihe shouted. "We just stole their helicopter, at least honor them for giving us a free ride!"

Hearing Xi Zihe's cry, Song Yi immediately cupped her hands towards the zombies wearing full military clothes. He muttered, "Sorry, my comrade-in-arms. It's a critical moment, so please understand. We have a family with a small child who must be blessed with hyx. Once this war is over, I'll make sure the government replaces your helicopter..."

Shen Yuan had already gotten inside the helicopter as she listened to the nonsense that Song Yi's mouth was smoothly throwing. He slightly shook his head before starting to help Song Yi to get inside the helicopter as well.

They turn on the power, and turn on the engine. The propeller let out a huge wind, causing the zombies around him to stagger backwards.

Moments later, two dark green-colored helicopters slowly shot up into the sky, flying towards the center of the city.

***

Meanwhile, on the hill.

Yang Ruisi exhaled a sigh of relief as she looked at the two helicopters that had started flying in the sky.

"Come on! We must hurry too."

Yang Ruisi patted the shoulders of the two boys who had not spoken a word earlier.

Feifei and He Zhao started to move their stiff bodies from not moving for a long time. They were so tense and anxious that they could not take their eyes off the small monitor screen. Even He Zhao many times felt unable to move his finger on the remote controller, his hand filled with cold sweat.

He Zhao helped Yang Ruisi to pack their equipment that was on the ground, while Feifei walked towards the armored vehicle weakly. Feifei was like someone who had lost his soul, his eyes still looked unfocused.

He Zhao sighed. Actually he understood a little about Feifei's feelings. His father almost died. Of course he would react that way. There was a time when He Zhao experienced the same thing as Feifei. However back then, He Zhao's mother had completely abandoned him.

He Zhao put down the equipment in the front passenger seat, then he headed towards the seat at the back to sit down with Feifei.

The vehicle started to accelerate after Yang Ruisi turned on the engine. They'll follow the helicopter from behind. That's the plan.

Inside the vehicle it was quiet. In their heads, the battle that had just occurred was still playing out over and over again.

When thinking about it, He Zhao still felt cold. To be honest, watching Xi Zihe's team fight zombies was like watching a horror movie.

Since they were looking from the vantage point in the sky, they could see everything. Including when the strange zombie started appearing and was about to pounce on Shen Yuan.

At that time, Yang Ruisi would warn them. But no matter what happens, the microphone on the communication device does not work at all. As much as Yang Ruisi shouted and gave a warning, there was no reply at all. Yang Ruisi guessed that the communication device on Xi Zihe's team was damaged by the explosion.

So they could only cry out in frustration as the zombie grabbed and threw Shen Yuan against the wall. Especially when he saw that the zombies were immune with every shot, practically it scared them to death. Just then, He Zhao saw that Feifei was already crying helplessly. Fortunately, Yao Yue had managed to give Shen Yuan a chance to escape. I don't know what happens if it doesn't work out, He Zhao didn't dare to think about it.

He Zhao glanced at Feifei and thought, He must still be frightened by the scene earlier...

Of course Feifei was very frightened. He wanted to cry and scream. He could not imagine if his father had lost his life there.

However, there was something else that filled Feifei's head at the moment.

That strange zombie.

Feifei felt that the zombie was very familiar.

Like the feeling of meeting someone we haven't seen in a long time.

Somebody's...

Feifei turned his gaze out the window.

His mind began to move quickly.
