Chapter 955: Chapter 224: Five Minutes, Just Five Minutes
He knew that fighting against zombies was brutal.
But the current brutality was beyond his imagination.
The ground was littered with zombie corpses, yet the number of zombies seemed undiminished, and the distant lens still showed zombies running towards here.
Can they really not be killed off?
At this moment.
Zhou Xiao was still conscious. After becoming an Awakener, his physical fitness improved, though he was close to death, he still had his wits.
"Damn it, we’re screwed."
Zhou Xiao was already close to the Tyrant, seeing its sticky wide-open mouth, he pulled the pin on a grenade and threw it into the Tyrant’s mouth.
He was not afraid to die.
When the apocalypse came and took everything from him, his only thought was to kill as many zombies as he could.
Even if he died, he wanted to take some zombies with him.
Boom!
The grenade exploded inside the Tyrant’s mouth.
The violent impact sent Zhou Xiao flying.
Zhou Xiao hit the ground, vomited blood in large gulps, and struggled to shift his gaze towards the Tyrant, wanting to know what happened to the zombie.
The Tyrant, whose mouth had been blown up by the grenade, lost half its head, its neck was cracked, and thick blood gushed out. With a rumbling sound, it fell to the ground and didn’t get up.
"Heh heh..."
Zhou Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the sky, seeing the Tyrant finally down, he was completely at ease.
If even this couldn’t kill the opponent, it would really be too despair-inducing.
He thought of the little girl he met in Qingshui Town.
A little girl the same age as his sister.
Live well.
...
"There are too many zombies, requesting support, my defense line can’t hold!"
"Tao ge, we’re short on firepower."
The resistance fighters requested reinforcement, the number of charging zombies was overwhelming, firepower was insufficient to cover, and as soon as they killed one batch, another would rush in, leaving not enough time even to change magazines.
"Hold on."
Liu Tao shouted, he knew the situation was dire, they were fighting guerrilla warfare, not going head-to-head with zombies; without an absolute defense system, this wave of zombies couldn’t be stopped.
But now they couldn’t leave.
They were trapped here.
Fang Zhan swallowed hard; if this had happened yesterday, their defense line in Qingshui Town would have been breached by the zombie wave in a minute, it would have been impossible to hold.
Fang Zhan looked at Liu Tao, "Tao ge, you have bigger goals, let them leave, and let us hold them back for you."
"Bullshit, why are you talking nonsense, if I let you hold them, what was the point of coming out to rescue people?" Liu Tao cursed, knowing Fang Zhan was talking about their last hope of retreating.
But if it was this kind of hope, they would rather not have it.
"Huh huh"
"Huh huh"
The growls of the zombies were a demonic sound to anyone alive.
Zombies, fearless of death, charged on without feeling pain.
Seeing flesh, the zombies’ primal fierceness completely erupted; they wouldn’t stop chomping down on flesh until it was in their mouth.
The situation was collapsing.
Onsite tanks and armored vehicles could no longer suppress the zombie horde’s onslaught.
The constraints they imposed under the massive zombie horde were a drop in the ocean.
"This might be our last battle." Liu Tao laughed bitterly, "Fang Zhan, let the townsfolk take fishing boats, don’t hide in the cellar, because when the zombies take over here, hiding there is a slow death, taking fishing boats away might still give a sliver of hope."
Fang Zhan looked at Liu Tao, finally nodded; if one townsperson can leave, it meant a bit more hope.
And at this moment.
The situation changed slightly.
"What is that?"
Someone exclaimed.
In an instant, those on the defense line looked into the distance.
A pitch-black crowd was charging.
"We are here."
A group of resistance fighters in pitch-black War Armor, holding a straight blade in one hand and a firearm in the other.
Ta-ta-ta!
Squelch!
Firing guns, swinging the straight blades.
The zombies were split open instantly by the swing of the straight blade, their bodies like tofu, with no chance to resist.
"Who are they?" Liu Tao looked on in shock.
So strong.
That group of mysterious War Armor wearers were incredibly strong, ignoring zombie assaults, effortlessly taking down one at each swing, even facing several or more than ten zombies, they didn’t flinch, forcefully carving a bloody path.
Those in War Armor felt using guns was simply a waste of time.
Slashing was more enjoyable.
They directly slung their guns at their waists, wielded blades with both hands, slashing left and right, charged into the zombie horde, and executed a Tornado Slash, spinning heedlessly—even if it made them dizzy, all the obstructing zombies were cut in half, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
The scene was domineering and mighty.
Quickly.
The surviving mysterious War Armor wielders reached the defense line.
"Tao ge, it’s me, Huo Fen." Huo Fen opened the visor and looked at Liu Tao on the defense line.
"Ah? It’s you guys." Liu Tao stared wide-eyed, in disbelief, he had not expected this incredibly formidable mysterious War Armor force to be the scattered Huo Fen and his group.
This truly exceeded his expectations.
Huo Fen said, "Don’t worry, we have hope, just five minutes, in five minutes we’ll win."
Liu Tao didn’t understand what Huo Fen meant by five minutes.
Why they would win in five minutes.
He wanted to ask clearly.
But Huo Fen and the others had already started engaging the zombies.
"What have they been through during this time?" Liu Tao couldn’t figure it out, even if he racked his brains, he couldn’t understand.
