Deep in the Living

Chapter 15 Support
Anna rushed up the stairs as fast as she could, preparing to go back to her room to get the "most yang thing" to use against the zombies.

"It turned out to be the 'zombies' from Wenwen's country. The original name of this thing in Russian had the same meaning as zombies, but they are actually not of the same nature.

We had clearly interrupted the ritual in time and prevented the zombie's final evolution, but its flesh was still so hard... My axe can cut even a small tree in one stroke, but it couldn't even cut the bone of its shoulder.

This is just a simulation practice with greatly reduced difficulty and controlled by the institute.
The real "abnormality" will be even more terrifying~ My strength and skills are far from enough, no wonder the teacher kicked me out of the sports meeting. I must double my training after returning to school this time. 』

After sorting out her slightly messy thoughts, Anna was already standing in front of the master bedroom door.

Just as she was about to open the door,
Ta~ (tongue clicking sound)

Just a short and crisp sound,

The instant fear it brought was greater than that of the zombies downstairs.
The voice pulled Anna's gaze towards the entrance passage beside her.

She clearly remembered that the master bedroom was the room deepest in the entrance hall, and the end of the passage was next to the door.

But the passage in front of him continued to extend, and it became pitch black in the depths. There were no light strips and the end was nowhere to be seen.

The voice just now came from the darkness.
The fearful thoughts grew as I stared at them for a while.

Suddenly, Anna vaguely saw something in the depths of the darkness, and it was slowly walking out, gradually revealing a partial body outline.

It was a terrifying creature with a tongue as its head.
Moving like a living person,

It is about to walk out of the darkness, and is about to reveal some unknown and terrifying ultimate image.

Snapped!
A hand slapped Anna's shoulder quickly.

The sudden touch pulled Anna's attention out of the darkness. In the blink of an eye, the passage in front of her had returned to normal. Three meters away was the end, where a vase stood.

"Anna, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Anna turned her head and saw that the person coming was Gao Yuxuan, who was wearing elegant glasses.

"Did you hear any strange noises just now?"

"No... hurry up~ squad leader and Rody can't hold out for long."

Now is the critical moment of this practice. Gao Yuxuan has no time to think about other things. Wasting one more second would be playing with his partner's life.

The reason why he also ran back to the mansion was simple. His sports performance was the lowest among the four people. Since even Anna couldn't cut the zombies, he couldn't hurt them at all with his field knife.

Gao Yuxuan had also made preparations in advance. He stored a special prop in his backpack. It was originally intended to provide medical assistance to his teammates, but now it might be used to deal with zombies.

Seeing Gao Yuxuan rushing into the master bedroom to look for something, Anna followed him in.
But the fear brought by the sound of the tongue still lingers at the root of the tongue.

Even though she kept reminding herself to trust the research institute and believed that this practice would only trigger an abnormal event, the scene she just saw could not be false.

Anna was rummaging through her backpack while saying:

"Mr. Gao, I just heard a snapping sound in the passage and saw something that looked like a demon. I feel it's very dangerous."

Strangely enough,
Gao Yuxuan did not respond, but took out something from his backpack with a look of high concentration. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a strange wooden box.

It seemed that his mind was filled with zombies and the desire to go back as soon as possible to provide support, and he didn't hear what Anna said at all.

Gao Yuxuan also opened the wooden box to check, and found rows of neatly arranged silver needles inside.

"Is this... Chinese medicine?"

Although Anna is not Chinese, she still knows about the famous Chinese medicine.

With a certain large company almost monopolizing biomedical technology, these affordable and effective Chinese medicine clinics located in cities across the country are an indispensable part of the medical system, especially for ordinary people to afford medical treatment.

She was lucky enough to experience acupuncture, which improved her physical condition just once, and she also got good results in subsequent physical examinations.

However, the silver needles stored in the wooden box are much longer than the needles used for acupuncture. The longest one is long enough to pierce the arm.

The props Anna found from her backpack were the three bottles of vodka she had drunk during dinner.
The first two bottles were her favorite 60° liquor, and the last bottle was Spirytus (water of life), a special vodka with the highest alcohol content on the market, at 96°. It was generally used to mix various cocktails, and Anna had never thought that this thing could actually be used.

There were also torn strips of cloth and a windproof lighter, "Let's go!"

"it is good!"

When the two of them pushed open the door of the master bedroom again, they could hear the sound of metal colliding coming from outside even from a distance.

"Wenwen!"

Anna, who had chopped zombies herself, knew very well how difficult that thing was to deal with. Her worry about her best friend further suppressed the fear in her mind. Naturally, she couldn't think about the illusory sound of the tongue clicking in the current situation.

We can only wait until the zombie issue is over and then discuss it with everyone.

The two rushed out of the house as fast as they could. The moment they stepped out of the door, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

The fighting sounds that could be heard just now have stopped.

The new electric saw with a silver-plated surface fell right next to the mansion's door, but the most important saw blade had broken and could no longer be used.

Rody fell to the ground more than ten meters away.

His right hand was tightly covering his left upper arm, leaving three holes as thick as fingers on it, penetrating the muscle. The wound was black and blood and pus were flowing out.

but,

An arm wrapped in a cloth sleeve was dropped on the open space in the front yard, with foul-smelling black blood flowing all over the ground. Judging from the rough cut on the arm, it was cut off by an electric saw.

At the cost of damaging his arm with a chainsaw, Roddy actually sawed off one of the zombie's arms.

The two people who didn't see the incident were extremely shocked by Luo Di's personal strength.

In fact, only Rody himself knew that this whole process was entirely due to the squad leader's restraint, which gave him the opportunity to wield a less flexible tool like a chainsaw to effectively cut the zombies.

Moreover, the squad leader's combat skills are not like those of a high school student.
Ah~~
Waves of black mist spewed out of the zombie's mouth. The loss of an arm made him even more angry, and he regarded Rody, the chainsaw user, as his first target.

The cloth shoes stood up and attacked quickly.

Rody, who had just stood up from the ground, seemed to have no time to dodge.

crucial moment,

Something glowing flew in from the gate, drew a parabola in the air, and hit the side of the zombie perfectly.

With a loud bang of shattering glass and a terrifying roar, the flames absorbed oxygen and spread throughout the zombies, and a strong smell of alcohol quickly spread.

The simple Molotov cocktail made of alcohol was not very effective. The burning flames did not completely engulf the zombies, but only burned part of their bodies.

The Yang flame has a natural restraining effect on Yin corpses.
Even though the pus flowing from the zombie's skin can effectively suppress the flames, it is still quite effective in extinguishing the previous burning.
Taking this opportunity, another ball of stuff was thrown over.

This time it was not thrown at the zombie, but at Rody who had just stood up.

Snapped!
Hold on tight.

This is a bottle of 60° vodka, and the bottle mouth is not stuffed with burning cloth.

Although it did not reach the standard of 70~75° for medical alcohol, it still had a certain disinfecting effect. Roddy immediately poured the alcohol on the wound on his arm.

Severe pain,

Moreover, the erosion caused by corpse poison is not so easy to deal with.

At this moment, a soft hand with almost no feeling was placed on Rody's shoulder. This touch seemed to bring Rody back to the last moment before the holiday, back to the time when the monitor just found him and invited him to practice.

A gentle voice came from under the mask.
"Leave the rest to us. We are more than capable of dealing with a mutilated zombie with one hand cut off. Don't underestimate your teammates."

　Thanks to the two new alliance leaders [dzzzzzzz] and [Lonely Ghost], the offerings have been received.
