Chapter 135 - After the Calamity
[TL: Sorry for the delayed chapters.]
The Giant Colossal Variant Zombie seeped out a dense black orb. It was able to catch up to Liu Gan, who was trying to escape. It soaked all through his body.
⊙。⊙
Meanwhile Liu Gan ran like a madman at his top speed, and suddenly felt a nice warm burst within his body. It was a familiar warmth that was similar to when he leveled up. His body ran faster as if his top speed had a new limit, and his sight and hearing became even more clear. Liu Gan had been frantically running so he didn't witness the scene of the suspension cable whiplash cut the Giant Colossal Variant Zombie in half. So in his mind, it was indeed a strange phenomenon as he didn't kill a Variant Zombie yet, so how could it be possible for him to level up without killing one?
It was like the type of sensation that you got from leveling up though, but as Liu Gan was wondering what is going on, he didn't have time to look at his wrist watch. The most important task is for him was to reach the safety on the other side of the bridge or to run out of the range of the suspension cable. Otherwise, if he got struck by the suspension cables, even his alloy limbs would not withstand the force and he would be smashed into mushes of meat.
The suspension cables recoiled back into midair, and soon whipped back onto the surface of the bridge deck. Another dozen ordinary zombies also got struck and were sent flying off. Even with the suspension cable danger, these fearless zombies marched head on into it. They were no match for the massive cables though, and upon contact the zombies were obliterated.
Liu Gan and Zhou MingLiang forced themselves into a sprint for the other half of the bridge deck. Only after they joined up with the group did they stop running. Then they both took deep breaths to regain their composure and at the same time turned back to look at the scene of the suspension cables snapping around due to recoil.
Compared to the scene where the suspension cables whipped back and forth, this was an even more attractive scene. It was a single Giant Colossal Variant Zombie leading hundreds of regular zombies behind him. It completely disregarded the suspension cables in midair, and with such a menacing aura, it continued to march.
“How come the bridge didn't collapse?” Liu Gan asked, since he felt the situation didn't seem right. If that half of the bridge doesn't collapse, and the corpse tide bypasses the fiery blockade then he didn't have any other way to stop them.
What was different with this corpse tide from the last corpse tide was that besides the front of the pack was being led by a Giant Colossal Variant Zombie, there were a few other Colossal Variant Zombies mixed within the corpse tide further in the back. Even Liu Gan didn't have the confidence that he could kill the Colossal Variant zombies and come out unscathed.
Right now, he judged that with his troops current ability if they decided to fight the Giant Colossal Variant Zombies mixed within the corpse tide then they would surely die.
”Rest assured, the suspension cables broke off so it is bound to collapse. It will soon collapse, and according to my calculations, it should be in these few seconds. If you don't believe me, watch me countdown… Five… four… three… two… one…” Zhou MingLiang started his countdown.
The moment Zhou MingLiang said “one”. The entire bridge body shook. Numerous slanted suspension cables on one side of the bridge broke off at once. The cables couldn't bear the tension and the massive weight and the whole thing made a terrible sound as it collapsed downward into the river.
There were already thousands of zombies up on the bridge deck and they all charged past the leading Giant Colossal Variant Zombie. All of them screeched as they fell with the collapsed bridge straight into the river below. The broken bridge produced a loud sound and water splashed up. Upon impact, it produced a spiralling whirlpool that sucked all the zombies under. The Giant Colossal Variant Zombie and the regular zombies were all submerged into the water and then resurfaced, only to be carried downstream by the current of the river.
As the whole bridge shook with tremendous force, the whole troop except Yin He, fell to the ground from the shockwave. They slowly got up, but didn't dare to stand upright. They crouched on the floor nervously as they surveyed the surroundings just in case there was an aftershock from the bridge that shook and knocked them down again.
