Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Chapter 55: Go find the survivor next door?

When they arrived, Zhang Shanhai was at the back, so when they returned, he naturally became the leader.

At that moment, his eyes widened suddenly, staring straight at the zombie, as if he had been nailed to the spot.

The two were so close, less than three meters apart, less than the length of two car rear ends...

Fortunately, the zombie had only just wandered over there and was facing away from the three of them, so it hadn't had a chance to turn around yet.

Judging from its trembling posture, it might turn its head at any moment...

Zhang Shanhai subconsciously wanted to imitate Chen Tuo's action of crawling under the car. As long as he could crawl in before the zombies turned around and then crawl out after they left, he could resolve this crisis.

But when he looked to his side, he was dumbfounded.

This is a small car with a pitifully low chassis. Unless you cut your head in half, you wouldn't be able to squeeze through it even if you tried your hardest.

Jiang Xin's physique is barely acceptable.

His brain went blank...

Oh no, we're going to be found out!

Once they are discovered and cause a disturbance, what awaits them is not just one zombie, but dozens or even hundreds of them from the surrounding area!

The distance from here to the bottom of Building 8, Unit 2 isn't far; it takes five minutes to walk and maybe two minutes to run.

But in those two minutes, you'd be torn to pieces eight times by the zombies along the way!

The zombie had already turned halfway around, and you could see its face, which was missing half...

At the critical moment, Zhang Shanhai felt a large hand press down on his head, and a dark shadow "whooshed" out.

The moment the zombie turned its head...

Pfft!

A sharp axe swung down suddenly, splitting the zombie's head in half.

The zombie collapsed limply, but Chen Tuo caught it steadily in his large hand and gently placed it on the ground...

The whole process was swift and ruthless, yet extremely well-hidden.

Apart from the sound of the axe chopping, even the sounds of footsteps and smashing were barely audible.

The feeling was like a cheetah lurking in the rainy night jungle, having already secretly locked onto its prey.

When still, no one notices it; when it moves, it is a fatal blow, with absolutely no unnecessary movements.

Zhang Shanhai was stunned.

Jiang Xin was also stunned.

It wasn't until Chen Tuo waved for them to lower themselves further that the two realized what was happening and huddled as low as possible behind the car and the corner of the wall.

Although the commotion was slight, it still attracted the attention of the nearby zombies in the quiet underground parking garage.

At this moment, four or five zombies were already slowly walking towards this place, following the sound.

Chen Tuo lay on the ground, peering through the gaps under the car to observe the outside movements, his palms sweaty.

The axe strike just now was a last resort, but I tried my best to keep the noise to a minimum. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted four or five zombies, but a dozen or even dozens of them from the vicinity!

Hopefully, these four or five zombies were only slightly attracted and their hunting desires were not fully activated.

Otherwise, if they were discovered, they would have no choice but to fight to the death, run with all their might, and try to get back downstairs before being surrounded by zombies...

Time passed second by second.

The group felt that time was passing so slowly, as if every second was an ordeal.

Every step the zombie took as it approached felt like a heavy hammer pounding into my heart.

Chen Tuo had already gripped the short axe tightly.

If the zombies don't stop in front of the car, then you'll have to kill the two blocking your way on the spot and then just rush in.

What you fear most is what happens.

The zombie had reached the rear wheel position, but it showed no sign of stopping, as if it would not give up until it reached the end.

Zombies were approaching from wherever Chen Tuo, Zhang Shanhai, and Jiang Xin were.

If we charge now, we'll be exposed on the spot, but we can still break through before they surround us.

If we don't rush it, we can take another gamble.

But once they get right up to them, it means they'll have to kill two or three more zombies before they can charge out...

Chen Tuo's face turned ashen.

He was about to make his move...

You must not wait until you are discovered by zombies before leaving, otherwise your already slim chance of escape will decrease even further.

However, just as he was about to get up and deal with the zombie in front of him...

Bang, bang, bang bang bang!!!

A series of sounds suddenly rang out from afar.

The commotion sounded like an aluminum can being thrown, and the noise immediately attracted all the nearby zombies, including the five zombies that were about to approach.

They changed direction and quickly headed towards the source of the sound.

Chen Tuo was only stunned for a moment. Before he could think about how the sound came about, he immediately ducked down and rushed forward.

Zhang Shanhai and Jiang Xin immediately followed suit.

Because all the zombies around were attracted by the noise, they hardly encountered another one along the way, and even the zombies that had been in the passageway on the way there had all disappeared.

This made it incredibly easy for Chen Tuo and his two companions to return, and they reached the fire door entrance in less than two minutes.

Shu Yao, who had already opened the door a crack and was keeping a close eye on the outside, immediately opened the door completely, let the three people in, and then slammed it shut.

"Damn! That zombie suddenly appeared behind me like a ghost, it scared me to death! My heart is still pounding!"

Jiang Xin plopped down on the steps, clutching her flat chest and panting heavily.

Zhang Shanhai leaned against the railing, feeling his legs go weak; his face was still pale.

If we're talking about who was most terrified by zombies, he's the first one to come to mind.

Under those circumstances, he was the closest to the zombies.

That feeling was more thrilling than watching any horror movie I've ever seen in my life.

It's no exaggeration to say that even a burly man like Zhang Shanhai was so scared that he peed his pants in that instant.

Of course, he would never dare to say it out loud...

But what shocked him even more was Chen Tuo's on-the-spot reaction.

At that moment, countless possibilities flashed through his mind.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if you really can't get out, find the nearest building and crawl in through the fire escape on the basement level.

Although we've gone further and further away, at least we can temporarily avoid being surrounded by zombies.

But looking back now, it was a terrible decision.

In contrast, Chen Tuo chose to confront the crisis itself and address its root cause rather than figuring out how to avoid the zombies.

Zhang Shanhai asked himself if he could do it.

can!

Of course he can kill zombies.

However, it is impossible to deal with zombies as calmly and decisively as Chen Tuo.

What impressed him even more was Chen Tuo's courage.

This is what he believes he lacks...

Seeing that Chen Tuo simply took off his helmet, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and didn't seem particularly panicked, Zhang Shanhai couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

In a post-apocalyptic world, who is suitable to be a leader?

That's the kind of person I'm talking about.

My initial judgment was correct.

Killing zombies myself is no problem.

But when it comes to making critical decisions that affect the team's survival at crucial moments, I can't withstand the pressure.

Whether it was the life-saving grace he had received before, or Chen Tuo's own admirable qualities, it all strengthened his resolve to continue following him.

While the three were still resting, Li Wenwu excitedly came over.

"Brother Tuo, Brother Hai, Xiao Hui said there's a group of survivors next door. Should we go check them out?"
