Chapter 38: Large campground
Liu Gan shook his head, originally there were only a dozen zombies, but with their yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs, they were practically asking for the attention of all nearby zombies.
With that many zombies following behind, what would screaming for help do? Even if there was someone willing to help, they would not take this risk…
The three escapees coincidentally found the hardware store that Liu Gan’s group had used as a resting place previously. It was half open with the grated gate still up. Quickly, they tried to closed the gate and shut the door. However, the dozen of zombies following close behind didn’t give them a chance to escape. The moment right before the metal grated gate was all the way down, a few zombies dove in between the floor and the gate. As the gate was not able to close completely, it started to crawl through.
A lot more zombies started to crowd in and soon the metal gate was forced to rolled up. Followed which, three screams resounded from within the house.
Even if this were a game, the difficulty was too high. If players came in here halfheartedly, they would not survive. Same could be said for inexperienced players who lacked survival skills, as they would be faced with different variations of carnage; but either way the ending would be the same – death.
There were two stragglers from the zombie train that seemed to have smelt Pan Hua and LuLu, and was charging towards the location where they were hiding. After discovering them, the two zombies let out a shriek as they pounced forward.
Pan Hua was trembling, and could only hold up the machete, adopting a defensive stance while letting loose a bellow; the same kind of sound used to scare away wild dogs, except it was not effective against zombies. Without even the slightest hesitation, the two zombies just kept madly charging towards them.
Liu Gan appeared from above and landed heavily onto one of the zombies, swiftly killing it. At the same time, he jumped and killed another zombie midair with the axe in hand. The zombies were definitely dead and Liu Gan landed perfectly.

“Run!” Liu Gan ordered the two in a low voice. He walked in the same direction the three males had come from; since all the zombies in the area were attracted to them, that path should be the safest route.
One road at a time, because of those three males’ ‘contribution’, there were only a few zombies encountered en route. Liu Gan gave his other backpack to Pan Hua. With one hand wielding machete, the other hand an axe, every time he saw one, he would kill one. After slaughtering a dozen zombies, they arrived in front of an institution. The courtyard had signs of a recent battle.
Liu Gan signaled them to stay, as he proceeded alone ahead.
The institution door had a sign that read “Bureau of Industry and Commerce of NinJing City”. The institution’s metal gate was distorted and on the floor. Observing the pools of blood and messy footprints on the ground, this was probably where the dozens of zombies earlier came from.
From the bloody mess, Liu Gan was able to notice a few particularly large footprints that were headed towards a different direction. This footstep reminded him of the plaza where he first killed the colossal zombie.
Across from the institution was a large building, the front of this building was an open space that, at this moment, had become a slaughter ground. Dead bodies of zombies littered all over. One of the corpse was burnt black. There were a few zombies that were feasting on a body, greedily chomping on the organs and the meat.
