"Lei, could it be that these zombies have been corralling us, just waiting for this zombie to appear, to make us food for this type of zombie?"
"It’s possible that’s the case. Ever since we were forced back to the base by the zombies, they’ve surrounded us, neither attacking nor retreating, as if some zombie is controlling them. After all, the zombies we’ve encountered before had no intelligence. When there’s no movement or noise, they’d disperse on their own."
Lei held a sniper rifle. Things having reached this point, there was no need to think of anything else. The outcome would be the horde of zombies breaking through the base, gnawing on their flesh and blood.
Through the high-powered scope, he aimed at the smaller zombie that had appeared.
He pulled the trigger.
The bullet whizzed through the air, on a trajectory towards the zombie’s head.
"How is that possible."
In Lei’s line of sight, the slender zombie was unscathed. As if it knew what was coming, it tilted its head, dodging the bullet.
The others looked to Lei, still unaware of the specifics.
"There’s something wrong with this zombie. It’s as if it knew I would aim for its head. It tilted its head to dodge the bullet."
Upon hearing Lei’s words.
The others expressed disbelief.
How could such a thing happen, but the reality before them couldn’t help but make them believe.
Perhaps it was the gunshot that disturbed the zombie, thoroughly enraging it.
The furious roar sounded again.
The giant zombie monitoring them grasped the edge of the fences, roaring savagely. Its appearance would instill fear in anyone who saw it.
An aircraft appeared far off in the sky. The soldiers piloting the aircraft, seeing the situation below, felt their hearts pounding.
The current situation had left them in despair.
The only thing they could do was to send the remaining heat weapons from the base to the outside, airdropping them to the living survivors. This was the only thing they could do in this apocalypse.
The aircraft landed on the runway.
Lei, looking at the landing aircraft, sighed, "They’ve come back."
Everyone looked at Lei, and they understood what he meant. If the aircraft didn’t come back, they wouldn’t blame them. After all, the base was now surrounded by zombies, and it was impossible to break through or eliminate the surrounding zombies.
Even, the zombies seemed to know the function of the aircraft, forbidding them to board en masse. If such a situation occurred, the zombies monitoring them would rush in.
Lin Fan had followed the aircraft all the way, knowing that the aircraft’s landing indicated arrival at their destination.
But what shocked him was...
With one glance, he saw countless zombies appearing in his line of sight.
"Just as I thought. They are airdropping weapons because they’ve reached a dead end, knowing the situation is beyond salvage, unable to turn the tables, only able to transport weapons outside, bringing hope to other survivors."
"Alright, even if the outcome is set, my appearance as Lin Fan will change that."
He slowly drew out Frostmourne, and saw ordinary zombies staggering ahead, completely unaware of him. He was truly disappointed by the zombies’ lack of vigilance.
The swaying zombie turned its head and seemed slightly taken aback when it saw a human in front of it. As if puzzled, "Are humans so brazen now? Don’t they see my countless kin around?"
The ordinary zombie roared viciously.
Lin Fan swung his sword, severing the ordinary zombie’s head.
Then, with the sword in hand, he charged in.
"Lei, we’ve delivered the weapons to their destination."
Lei nodded, "Good, you’ve completed the task well. But you don’t need to come back."
"Lei, we refuse to be deserters. The label of a deserter would be a disgrace to us."
While everyone was afraid, fear wouldn’t solve anything. When faced with trouble, they’d confront it. If they couldn’t handle it, then let the trouble handle them.
No matter the outcome, it wouldn’t change their determination to stay here and contend with the zombies.
Outside, there was commotion.
"Lei, why have the zombies outside suddenly become so ferocious?"
Lei said, "There’s a strange zombie that has appeared, likely the leader of this horde. Next, we’ll have a fierce battle. We may die, but even in death, we’ll make these zombies accompany us to the grave."
Just then, a figure hurried over.
"Lei, something’s happened."
"What’s the situation?" Lei frowned. Could it be that the zombies had begun to move? If that was so, then the most dangerous would be the giant zombie.
"I... I saw someone rushing into the zombie horde, hunting zombies." His speech was stuttering, as if he had seen a ghost. Even with his own eyes, he doubted his sight, wondering if he had seen incorrectly.
Not just he was shocked, so was Lei, and likewise, the fully armed soldiers around him.
Without a second thought.
They ran straight towards the watchtower.
When they saw the scene before them, their reaction was the same as the soldier who had just reported, completely dumbfounded.
Indeed, they saw a figure appearing among the horde of zombies.
Wielding an unknown weapon, he was ceaselessly reaping zombies.
