Chapter 320: Chapter 254: Hell Difficulty_2
“Damn it, let him go, you chaotic beast!”
Upon seeing his colleague attacked, another police officer hurriedly seized the zombie, yanked it away, and shoved it aside. But the zombie, still full of fight, snarled and lunged at the officer again. This time, however, the officer immediately pulled his gun and fired several shots, knocking the zombie to the ground.
Once the zombie fell, the officer quickly crouched and began inspecting his colleague’s condition.
“Hey, hang on, I’ll call for help… Damn it, we need to stop the bleeding first…”
While he was busy tending to his colleague and calling for reinforcements on his radio, he didn’t notice that the zombie he previously knocked down was slowly getting back up and crawling towards him.
Upon seeing this, Duanmu Huai immediately yelled out a warning.
“Hey, officer, watch your back!”
As a response to Duanmu Huai’s warning, the policeman turned his head. He was taken aback upon seeing the zombie crawling towards him.
“Damn it, I thought I killed him!”
As he spoke, the officer turned around, pointing his gun at the zombie again. But before he could pull the trigger, his bitten colleague, who was sketchy before, suddenly opened his eyes wide. He reached out and seized the officer’s neck, pulling him to the ground, and then bit him.
At the same time, the initial zombie had also pounced on top of the officer.
Hearing the policeman’s scream, Duanmu Huai reluctantly shook his head.
He’s done for, a horrible way to go.
“What happened? John! Respond! Damn it……”
Soon, the radio operator on the other end seemed to have heard the police officer’s screams and started to inquire immediately. But the officer, who was being gnawed on, was clearly unable to respond anymore. After a while, Duanmu Huai saw a black cop hurrying over. When the cop saw the scene before him, he was as shocked too.
At that moment, the trio had now turned to zombies, and they lunged at the black officer who quickly fired a few shots, dropping them all.
The black officer stared at the scene in front of him, murmuring to himself. He held his gun in one hand, and his other hand pressed tightly against his stomach. From the bloodstains on his uniform, it was clear that he, too, was injured, though it was unclear whether he had been shot or bitten. Once he confirmed that all three zombies had been eliminated, the black officer quickly scanned the cells, and taken aback once he saw Duanmu Huai.
“I remember you, you’re the tall one… the drunk guy who was brought in…”
“That’s right, it’s me.”
Duanmu Huai nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, the black officer approached Duanmu Huai’s cell and opened the door for him.
“Come with me, it’s not safe anywhere right now. The whole city is in chaos… You’ve seen it, these people have turned into zombies, monsters…”
Duanmu Huai silently nodded. He certainly had seen it. Honestly, if this T-virus could be brought into the real world, it would surely delight the Evil Godfather. Strictly speaking, the Evil Godfather himself did have a similar plague virus, like the one Duanmu Huai encountered in The City of Silver at the beginning of his journey, where those within the Plague Army were infected adherents.
The effectiveness of the Evil Godfather’s plague far exceeds the T-virus, which only transforms the infected into zombies after death. The plague not only grants immortality but also enhances the infected’s physical attributes. The only flaw is that the infected won’t look too good.
Yes, that’s right. In comparison to the Evil Godfather’s plague infected, the zombies from the T-virus seem downright beautiful.
As a certain movie puts it, beauty requires something ordinary to contrast and highlight it. You may find the T-virus zombies gross when you focus solely on them, but when placed side by side with the plague infected, the T-virus zombies will suddenly seem much more attractive.
At least zombies still look human, right?
So, what are those things full of pus-filled sores, emitting vomit-inducing toxic fumes, even their eyeballs bulged out like flies, and their mouths filled with creatures akin to roaches and maggots, are well beyond anyone’s guess.
“Alright, let’s move, tall guy, my name is Marvin Braner.”
After a quick exchange of introductions, Duanmu Huai followed Marvin out of the detention room.
Things are truly a grisly mess along the way.
While following Marvin, Duanmu Huai could see blood and bullet holes all around, not to mention the bodies. According to Marvin, not long after Duanmu Huai was detained, there were numerous distress calls across the city. The police quickly realized that the situation wasn’t simply the result of drug-induced young delinquents, as they had originally imagined. Consequently, the police immediately broadcasted a message, calling on survivors to report and gather at the police station.
But that’s when many previously bitten police officers also turned, causing chaos both inside and outside the police station. Most of the officers died, with only a few survivors, one of whom was Marvin. He initially intended to rally the remaining forces of the station, but well… it didn’t end well, to say the least.
On the way, Marvin tried to give Duanmu Huai a shotgun for self-defense, but he declined, instead picking up a large hammer from a toolbox. When dealing with these damned monsters, a melee weapon is far more suitable than a gun that becomes useless once out of bullets.
, they finally made it to the lobby of the police station.
Who are we going to encounter next?
Looking at the lobby in front of him, Duanmu Huai was curious. In the game, players could freely choose to follow either Leon or Claire. He wondered how it would be in reality.
By the way, according to official statistics released later on, almost all female players chose Leon, and male players chose Claire…
“Help! Someone help!!”
Then, suddenly, a piercing scream rang out. Duanmu Huai and Marvin turned to the source of the scream and saw a woman crawling out from underneath a roller shutter door. Behind her, a zombie was grabbing her legs, trying to drag her back. The woman struggled desperately to free herself from the grasp of the zombie.
“Help her, tall guy!”
Marvin, severely injured and unable to move, looked at Duanmu Huai and yelled. Duanmu Huai nodded the acknowledgment, then he sprang forward, reaching the woman. He grabbed her collar, yanking her up. Afterwards, he turned to face the zombie, swiftly kicking its head!
The next moment, the zombie’s head exploded under Duanmu Huai’s foot.
