Chapter 13 Chapter 13 (2/2)

Tang Le’s tears flowed endlessly. On the other end, Tang Qi numbly opened his mouth, exposing his rotten gums. Facing a living human, he was so excited, he wanted to tear him apart immediately.

“Grrrr! Grrrr!”

The zombies started moving.

The originally brightly lit room suddenly darkened and almost at the same time, Zhou Mingxuan’s frustrated voice sounded, “Hurry! The black wall is here!!!”

Everyone’s heart immediately sank.

Zhou Mingxuan had already rushed downstairs, “It can be seen very clearly from the second floor! I was fucking watching it the entire time and it happened almost instantly! And the speed is still increasing!!”

Everyone looked back. The black wall that was originally in the distance had appeared close to them in a blink of an eye.

It had silently reached about four or five kilometres away from the bookstore in an instant and it was currently engulfing the city at an unimaginable speed that was visible to the naked eye!

The black wall covered the sky like a cosmic black hole. Everything it came in contact with was submerged in darkness, disappearing completely. What was even more terrifying was that the large number of zombies in front of the black wall seemed to be deathly afraid of this dark force. This dense crowd of zombies gathered together, rushing towards the light. One could almost see the dust scattering behind them!

Tang Le was still standing in front of the windows.

Zhou Mingxuan yelled loudly, “Fuck!! Hurry and go!”

Tang Le seemed to be jolted awake by this. The two of them fired with their guns, sending zombie blood and flesh flying outside the bookstore.

The car was stopped outside the bookstore. Song Qinglan strode out with Shen Mian, “Everyone get in the car! Li Chun! Stop fucking picking it up!”

Cans of beans rolled around by Li Chun’s feet.

Gunfire continued nonstop. “Grrrr—– Grr—-.” The zombies nearby were attracted by this sound and similarly rushed over.

“In the car!!!”

“Hurry, hurry!”

The light inside the bookstore darkened further.

With a dull rumble, the tide of zombies chased by the black wall headed in their direction.

As parts of the zombie tide was swallowed up, new zombies joined in. The rumbling sound was like thunder, it announced the imminent end of the world.

At this critical moment, as if he was being guided, Ji Yushi caught sight of a book by the door that had been knocked down during the panic. Song Qinglan however had already grabbed his shoulder.

He immediately turned his head back and was met with never seen before ferocity in Song Qinglan’s eyes, “Go!!”

Following Song Qinglan out the bookstore, Ji Yushi raised his gun to kill a zombie and followed the bloody path opened up by his teammates ahead.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!”

In the rapidly darkening environment, the sparks from the gunfire were bright. The sky split open in an instant and the darkness was overwhelming.

The zombie tide had come.

“Ahhh!!!”

A scream from an unknown source sounded in the darkness. With the zombies gathered, nothing could be seen.

The car was blocked by the zombie tide. At the very last second, Tang Le killed the zombie stuck between the car door and slammed the door shut. “Grrrrr.” The engine started and the car barely managed to escape out with its remaining energy.

The zombies in front were knocked flying, leaving remnants of rotten blood and flesh behind. The windscreen wiper could barely move. Zhou Mingxuan could only rely in his instincts to navigate out onto the main road.

Darkness chased them from behind, swallowing up the zombies scattered around in the process.

“Grrr—-”

In the back seat, Li Chun opened his mouth and made an attempt to bite.

In just a few short seconds, a piece of flesh was missing from his face. His skin was covered with blue-green blood vessels and his eyes had turned completely grey and turbid. He had mutated!

Zhou Mingxuan saw this through the rear-view mirror and almost lost control of the car. Ji Yushi almost fell onto Li Chun in the process.

Tang Le’s voice cracked, “Chun’er!”

The two held Li Chun down. Their teammate’s voice and smile was still in front of them but he had already become an unrecognisable monster. How could Tang Le kill him?!

The Diamond Bird in Ji Yushi’s hands was shaking uncontrollably. He could only hear Song Qinglan yell from the front, “Do it!”

He squeezed his eyes shut.

“Bang!”

The back seat was quiet again. No one moved to check on Li Chun in the dark.

The car had rushed a hundred metres ahead in a blink of an eye. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. With a ‘boom’, the car had rammed into a wire fence, shattering the windshield in the process. The car rolled across the ground for several metres before finally coming to a complete stop.

The ears of everyone inside the car were still ringing.

Zhou Mingxuan’s head drooped. His neck was bent at an incredibly awkward angle.

“Get out of the car!” Song Qinglan’s voice carried some pain and he almost seemed to be yelling that out through gritted teeth. He unfastened his seatbelt, fell to the ground and kicked the car door open.

After the car rolled, the back door had deformed.

Ji Yushi, Li Chun’s corpse and Tang Le were trapped together. Tang Le: “Cap Song!!”

There were severe pain in Ji Yushi’s leg, and his face was pale, “Can’t open the door!!”

Song Qinglan grabbed the broken edge of the door, the glass shards cutting into his palms and fresh blood landing on Ji Yushi’s face. He however didn’t seem to notice the pain and proceeded to pull the door off with gritted teeth!

“Clang——” The door was thrown aside.

Song Qinglan stretched his hand out. Ji Yushi held onto it.

The two hands clasped together.

One was fair and the other was dripping with blood.

That large and firm palm carried strength. That strength came from a captain’s sense of responsibility, and it also came from friendship towards a teammate.

Ji Yushi was pulled out of the car.

Next, Song Qinglan pulled Tang Le out.

No sooner said than done, the second Tang Le was pulled out, the black wall was only a dozen metres away from them

At that moment, all the people there felt despaired. No longer caring about whether there were zombies ahead, they used all their energy to escape and there was only one thought in their minds – Run.

Ji Yushi felt that he had never run so fast in his life.

It was so fast, he even forgot about the pain in his leg.

With the sound of wind whistling past his ears, the teammates beside him were, like him, trying their best to survive in this time and space.

After running for tens of metres, a bad feeling formed in Ji Yushi’s heart. Together with Song Qinglan, they turned their heads back.

“Tang Le!!”

Tang Le had stopped in place. A zombie was biting at his neck and blood poured out from the wound instantly soaking through his clothes.

Tang Le’s lips moved. He slowly spoke up, “Advisor Ji……We can’t go back——-”

He couldn’t finish his words.

Behind them, the darkness had arrived.

In this world, together with the other survivors, everything was completely submerged.
