311 The Turbulent H-City
“F*ck no, I’m not leaving!”
“Yeah, there’s nothing to eat outside and it’s dangerous. I’m used to living here, and I don’t want to leave.”
“It’s just a vaccine, I’ll do it!”
“Yeah, I’m a rank-one Awakened One. So what if I lose my power? I don’t have to go out and fight zombies, anyway.”
“As long as food and accommodation are provided, I have no objections to whatever you guys say!”
The survivors all shouted their assurances.
In their eyes, food and safety were far more important than their power.
In the crowd, Wu Liang gritted his teeth.
“It seems that Wang’s actions last night have been discovered….
“But he probably didn’t rat me out. Otherwise, they would’ve come to capture me directly instead of using this method.
“Wang was loyal to the end…
“However, if what they said is true, that the vaccine completely depowers us…
“I’m a rank-four Awakened One. Am I going to lose it all?
“This won’t do…
“No, no, no… It would be too suspicious if I refused.
“They say that we are free to leave, but that does not rule out any backroom executions.
“Spies always have it rough, especially when ousted.
“I have to take this vaccine… It’s the only way I can remain here…”
After a series of mental preparations, Wu Liang finally made a decision.
This time, he was the only one left out of the four agents.
If he didn’t complete the task, the company would definitely not let him off.
Wu Liang, along with the other survivors, waited in line for the vaccine under the watch of a large number of armed personnel.
As they were queuing up, a survivor near Wu Liang suddenly regretted his decision.
“I’m not doing this!
“I’ve finally reached rank-two. I don’t want to become a nobody!”
The guy shouted and rushed outside.
Wu Jianguo, who was in charge of the security at the scene, gave Zhu Ming a look.
Zhu Ming easily caught up to the man.
After that, the man fell silent. It was unknown if the guy was dead or had run away.
Wu Liang’s heart started to race.
It looked like it was too late for regrets.
Soon, Wu Liang entered the shed and was injected.
As soon as the vaccine entered his body, Wu Liang felt his strength being stripped away inch by inch.
A hollow void slowly occupied his heart.
“I… I… I’ve become an ordinary person just like that?”
Wu Liang felt like crying.
He had been a rank-four Awakened One! How much suffering did he have to go through to gain such strength!
It had all disappeared in an instant…
He hoped that after he completed the task, the company would find a way to get his strength back.
After the injection, the survivors received cigarettes and wine, and they all looked happy.
Usually, they would only get basic food and water.
Cigarettes and wine were luxury goods!
Some people wished they could get a vaccine every day.
Strength was nothing…
The survivors were then taken to a place in the suburbs.
The houses had already been built there.
For a time being, they would work and live in this area under the strict watch of zombies.
However, to them, it was fine as long as they had food and drinks. It didn’t matter where they lived.
Wu Liang looked at the tight security and felt a little desperate.
‘How the f*ck am I supposed to get out…?’
Was he going to work here for the rest of his life?
…
In H-City, Chen Zeyang had brought a few hundred zombies in.
In the past, the zombies in H-City were locked in a three-way deadlock.
Later on, one of the forces was tricked into traveling south. The balance was instantly broken.
After a tough battle, Chen Zeyang and his underlings successfully took control of H-City.
What he didn’t expect was that not long after, hundreds of thousands of zombies came from the north.
Chen Zeyang was no match for them in terms of numbers and strength.
Even though Chen Zeyang had advanced to the level of Zombie Monarch two days ago, he was helpless against such a force.
Most of his underlings had followed him from N-City.
They were loyal to him, unlike most of the other turncoats.
“Boss, they’re planning to cross the river!”
“What should we do?”
A red-eyed zombie with a tall and sturdy body asked nervously.
“They surrounded us and didn’t leave us any way out…
“Let’s head east!
“The airport is by the sea.
“If we can find a plane that can still fly, we might have a chance of survival.”
Chen Zeyang looked at the black mass of zombies behind him and gritted his teeth.
Ever since he left N-City, he had been working hard and finally managed to take over H-City.
He didn’t expect the tide of zombies from the north to easily trample and sweep over all his efforts.
At the moment, Chen Zeyang only wanted to protect his people. They could always rebuild from the ground up again.
Hundreds of zombies fled all the way to the airport.
“F*ck…”
Chen Zeyang couldn’t help but curse as he looked at the airport that was in shambles.
Not a single aircraft even looked like it could fly. The damage done to them was overtly deliberate.
“Which f*cking guy had too much time on his hands…” the Red-eyed Tank beside Chen Zeyang complained.
“I remember some humans came here before. They escaped by plane.
“The zombies here must have destroyed the plane to prevent the same thing from happening,” another of his underlings said.
“F*ck…
“There’s no escape this time…”
Chen Zeyang looked back and saw that some of the zombies had rushed into the airport and would soon reach the runway.
“Boss, what should we do?”
The underlings looked at Chen Zeyang, one after another. He was their pillar of support. Under such circumstances, everyone could only place their hopes on him.
“There are escape slides on the planes. They’re inflatable!
“Hurry up and tear down a few of them. We’re making a break for the sea!
Chen Zeyang quickly thought of an idea.
His zombies rushed to the plane and began to work away.
Chen Zeyang, on the other hand, led hundreds of his stronger combatants to hold off the first wave of zombies.
“Boss, we got twenty of them. It’s enough!”
The dismantling team shouted while carrying the slides.
“Retreat! Let’s go to the beach!”
Chen Zeyang and his men retreated as they fought, and the group slowly approached the shore.
Chen Zeyang and the rest were dumbfounded when they arrived at the beach.
Although the ocean was not far away, but…
There were sharp rocks and submerged reefs everywhere below the cliff…
They could not jump down.
The inflated slides would probably be punctured by the sharp rocks before they reached the surface of the sea…
