Chapter 128 (2/2)
The soldiers were about to be overwhelmed.
Zhou Yuanji looked at the countless corpses, and it suddenly occurred to him that they were at a military factory. There used to be a military garrison here, and there must be over ten thousand zombies. How could they resist?
“Rush out--” His voice was muted and filled with despair. They were in the bas.e.m.e.nt, and there weren't even any windows. Knowing that the possibility of successfully rus.h.i.+ng out was minimal, he still couldn't just wait here and die. At least if they struggled, they might be able to kill their way out alive.
Human potential was infinite, especially in times of despair.
Comrades in arms who had just fought side by side now could become a deadly enemy in the next second. Faced with the desire to survive, human beings' instinct came to the forefront, and as long as they could survive, stepping over the bodies over others seemed like a reasonable thing to do.
This battle was a tragic, confusing, and thrilling fight…
Zhou Yuanji was full of remorse and resentment, but so what? He could only look on as he himself was drowned in the sea of zombies.
Unlike their misery, Wu Guoan and others were leisurely to the point where it didn't seem right.
Having received news from Bai Jing and Xiao Sa, they had known for a while now that they wouldn't encounter any danger today. However, the kind of relaxation they felt now made it difficult for them to smile or laugh, and they felt uncomfortable all over.
Had anyone ever seen zombies like these?
They could ignore the low level zombies who ran away as soon as they saw them, making it so that everyone who was gearing up, ready for a fight, felt that pursuit was uninteresting and pointless.
As for the senior zombies, they would be lying if they said they weren't nervous encountering them for the first time, but they soon discovered that the senior zombies also didn't seem hostile. Not only did they not attack, they also acted in a very friendly manner.
Under circ.u.mstances where their enemies were strong while they were weak, and their enemies had the definite advantage, since the zombies didn't start attacking, Wu Guoan and the others naturally wouldn't make the first move. Operating under the principle of waiting for the other party to make the first move, both sides were stuck in an awkward situation.
But G.o.dd.a.m.nit, Wu Guoan really wanted to curse.
Who could tell him what was going on?
Yao Yao was the most beautiful girl in their team, and ever since she began to follow Young Master Jing and had enough to eat, her previous malnourished appearance had long disappeared. With the improvement of her abilities, she had also gained self-confidence and gave off an indescribable charm as she grew even more elegant and refined.
However, who could explain to him what this level five zombie was trying to do, presenting a shrivelled up apple to Yao Yao like a treasure?
Yao Yao was really about to cry. She wanted to fall to her knees and beg, okay? She could really do without a zombie's pursuit.
The only thing worth celebrating was that the level five zombie's face could still be looked upon. Although there was an aura of death in the grey face, at the very least, it wasn't missing any pieces. If it had been drooling, missing a nose and eyes, and had the scent of rotten blood coming from its mouth, Yao Yao thought she'd be better off dead in that case.
Wu Guoan was extremely depressed.
There were more and more zombies gathering. Although they had no expressions on their faces, for some inexplicable reason, they could tell that the zombies were looking at them with curiosity.
What the heck, they weren't monkeys!
Everyone was extremely nervous. Having to maintain their calm while surrounded by so many zombies was really testing their psychological control.
They couldn't communicate and couldn't even start fighting. For the first time ever since they followed Young Master Jing, they experienced what it felt like to be stifled.
They would really rather not have to 'enjoy' this kind of leisure. Even if they had to do a big job, it would still be better than having people… Oops. It would still be more pleasant than being surrounded by zombies.
However, the current situation meant they were at a disadvantage against the zombies and they had no other choice. They definitely wouldn't try to court defeat by fighting against overwhelming odds, but looking at the thirty odd level five zombies in front of them, everyone wanted to cry but had no tears. How were they supposed to deal with this!
They couldn't win in a fight and couldn't escape if they wanted to run. The zombies didn't understand what they were saying; what kind of situation was this!
Moving on from how deadlocked Wu Guoan and the others were, Bai Jing and Xiao Sa had soon arrived at the warehouse behind the training grounds.
They weren't sure if it was because of the placebo effect or something else, but they felt that the way over was incredibly smooth. They hadn't encountered any zombies or met any troubles along the way. (Of course. The zombies had all gone to watch the monkeys!)
The sounds of battle coming from the distance seemed to be a world away. There was a lot of fighting over there, but there was too much peace on this side.
They didn't think too much about it. In any case, this was a good thing for them, and it wasn't their own people who were fighting. Bai Jing had always believed in avoiding matters that had nothing to do with him. If he poked his nose into other people's business, perhaps he might actually end up dragged down with them.
That group of people had always liked finding trouble for themselves.
The thick warehouse door was half hidden in shadows, and Bai Jing's heart was tense. The closer they were to the warehouse door, the more clearly he could sense the pressure that was emanating from it.
This was from a level seven zombie, and there was more than one.
A wide spread of spiritual power hung over the sky, and everything that occurred in the entire military factory seemed to be under the control of this zombie.
This was a zombie with psychic abilities. Bai Jing's hands were clammy with cold sweat. Although he had guessed long ago that the zombie had discovered their presence, he hadn't expected that it would be so powerful.
What kind of power level was this?
The higher the level of power, the wider the gap between them. For him and Xiao Sa who were level five and six, the difference was already as wide as the sky, and this was the case despite his s.p.a.ce and spring giving him a cheat.
Then what about zombies? What kind of gap was there between level six and seven?
