Chapter 2 (2/2)
“Captain-” Yan Hao shouted.
From the second floor, Zhou Rong leaped out the window, flying down, and “BOOM!”, landed heavily on the armored-car’s roof.
-500 metres away, at the other end of the crossroad-
The motorcycle took a sharp turn, then stopped abruptly.
There was another wave of zombies looming ahead, all scrambling to come over!
Zhou Rong covered the area with a long-range snipper attacks, hitting zombies all around, creating a sudden magnificent scene. The young man glanced at the rear-view mirror from behind his helmet; a branch diverged the roads behind him with one side leading to the East Street.
His fingers on the handlebars clenched, the veins burst out slightly before he calmed himself down. He took a deep breath and turned the motorcycle.
“Roar-”
The motorcycle ran like a meteor across the road, almost coming in contact with the zombies’ teeth crowding on the side of the branching roads. The motorcycle flew past the living-deads and brazenly smashed into the gla.s.s walls of the bookstore in the corner of the street, before coming through from the other end and landed heavily amidst a shower of flying gla.s.ses!
Two male zombies standing in front of it were knocked over by their chests, causing half-rotten viscera to explode out of the bodies. A third corpse reached for the handlebar; however just as he opened his mouth, a bullet suddenly whizzed past and immediately blasted his head.
The young man looked up.
-200 meters away, a silver-gray armored vehicle was on rampage. Zhou Rong laid on car’s roof with a gun supported in his hands. He narrowed his eyes, thin lips hooked up slightly, as if he was saying h.e.l.lo from a distance.
Then the next bullet grazed the young man’s helmet, hitting a zombie lady on the side of his motorcycle.
“East Street corner’s Bookstore 10 meters away, two o ‘ clock direction, ready to rescue. ”
Zhou Rong voice sounded in the headset. Yan Hao nodded, his eyes swept to the satellite road map: “Not good.”
“Why? ”
Yan Hao’s foot pressed on the accelerator: “East Street is a dead end.”
The armored car issued a roar at the accelerate, but it was too late. Zhou Rong jumped up, and saw the motorcycle had started to be surrounded by heavy waves of zombies, they had no choice but to rush to the East Street!
“Take a detour! Search for the best route!” Zhou Rong shouted amidst the flying bullet casings: “Be prepared to turn around!”
In the car, the view on the GPS screen changed, and Yan Hao followed it with his d.a.m.ndest from behind the steering wheel.
At the same time at East Street, the motorcycle’s driver leaned his upper body to the limit, breaking through the dead sea of blood in lighting speed, but was immediately hindered ahead by a whole row of black barricades!
During this time, the motorcycle speed had reached a horrifying 200km/h, and the roadblocks were less than 300 meters away, they would crash in less than six seconds.
What is the use of six seconds?
Unable to turn around, unable to turn anywhere; the road was full of zombies, once collided with those roadblocks, the motorcycle would definitely be destroyed.
The motorcycle’s driver squinted his eyes tightly until they became needle-like. At the same time, the dashboard pointer began shaking violently as impact of it hitting the limit- then the engine issued a violent roar.
“He is going to crash…” Yan Hao whispered.
As if it was the Staff of Moses in the middle of red sea, the motorcycle was protruding from the layers of zombies as it rushed straight to the roadblocks ahead-
Time became stagnant, even the wind was still.
In midair, the motorcycle flipped 360 degrees, drawing a flow of fire arcs.
Zhou Rong throws a hook at the young man : “Catch it-”
In the air, the young man stretched his arm, accurately catching and entangling the rope with the iron hook around his wrist. Immediately, his body was jerked away from the motorcycle, flying directly to Zhou Rong.
The motorcycle swirled crazily, before falling straight into the corpse tide, causing an earthshaking explosion!
Bang！
With a loud sound, the young man’s body slammed into the top of the armored car. His body tumbled down close to the edge, before it was stopped by Zhou Rong’s hold on his waist. The car’s roof cover was then opened, causing the two people to crash and fall into the car’s rear compartment.
“Brother Rong!”
“Captain! ”
The team members rushed forward and helped the two men up, even Yan Hao had set the driver onto automatic setting. He motioned to one of his teammates to take over, and hurriedly went into the rear compartment: “Captain, are you okay?”
“Hiss hiss …” Zhou Rong bared his teeth: “This Gege is old ah, my waist…”
Behind him, the young man dodged everyone’s hands, and stood upright in the corner.
From inside the motorcycle’s helmet, he looked silently at the people in front of him.
This is a special force, he thought.
But surprisingly, these big, burly members were all beta, with no trace of an alpha pheromone in the s.p.a.ce-limited compartment.
“Here,” Yan Hao kindly handed a bottle of water to him: “Thank you.”
The carriages gradually quieted down, all eyes were fixated on the young man, who neither spoke nor raised his hand.
“…” Yan Hao once again motioned: “For you.”
Yan Hao is the kind of person who, had he not joined the army, would be fully capable of applying for the film academy. With height equal to Zhou Rong, wide shoulder, long legs, clear eyes and refined eyebrows, along with that single ruby earring he wore in his left ear, he gave off quite a campus-romance-drama-actor temperament and aura.
So many years of severe to abnormal training had not left any traces on his milky-white skin, he could be viewed as a hard-to-ignore natural beauty.
However, the motorcycle’s driver in front of him did not seem to appreciate his gesture, his expression could even be described as either cold or alert.
“This brother…” Yan Hao had just opened his mouth when the young man finally moved.
Ignoring the bottle of water, the young man stretched out his hand to Yan Hao’s automatic carbine and carried it off to his right shoulder.
[T/N: Carbine-random model]
“Hey, you-”
Zhou Rong who had been drinking water turned around. He stopped the team’s commotion and smiled to the young man: “What is the name of brother?”
The young man did not speak.
“You want to eat something?”
No response.
The atmosphere in the compartment gradually changed; in this narrow s.p.a.ce, some kind of tension slowly bred in the silence.
Zhou Rong touched his chin and looked at the young man up and down. He was wrapped in a tight-fitting motorcycle jacket and dark jeans, with the helmet completely hiding his face from view. His whole body was oozing a smell as if he had been rolling in a heap of zombies; his appearance really cut such a sorry figure.
But his stature was neat, and his alert posture was sharp as a knife.
Frozen cold, like an half-unsheathed blade.
“Friend,” Zhou Rong turned a blind eye, and asked again with a smile: “Where do you want to go, maybe we can give you a ride?”
In the next 10 seconds, except for the long-short span of breathing, only the faint wail of the zombies outside can be heard.
“…… Back to the parking building.” In this almost suffocating atmosphere, the young man finally opened his mouth, and talked with a hoa.r.s.e voice: “Go to the pharmacy.”
Zhou Rong, with a very friendly nod, turned to the driver’s seat and patted the driver ‘s shoulder: “Back to Southeast Street’s parking building.”
Then he leaned over and whispered in the volume that only two people could hear: “Find a place to stop and I’ll go see what he’s doing in the pharmacy.”
T/N:
Sorry for the long wait, I’ve been stock-pilling! Well, not that many chapters have been finished, but it’s enough for me to start doing regular weekly update without it affecting the schedule of my two other (main) projects. Also, this is not beta-ed, so please pardon any mistakes made, or you can point them out to me so I can fix them.
Looking for a proof-reader or editor for this one too, I don’t really want to burden my wfyo’s proof-reader with another project If no one offers their service, then I guess all of us will just have to be satisfied with this level of quality u_u
