Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Chapter 64: Rooftop Zombies!

Jiang Xin was shocked by Hua Lian's sudden action, and so was Chen Tuo.

He had considered what Hua Lian might do in a desperate situation, but he never expected him to be so decisive as to jump off the building!

If he just jumped straight down, Chen Tuo would only think he was desperate.

But when he jumped with Old Zhang in his arms, it was a different story.

This person is ruthless not only to others, but also to himself, and he does it in a very methodical way.

To make such a choice under these circumstances, having the courage to burn one's bridges is not enough.

The impact from the third floor, hordes of zombies below, and someone in front of you trying to kill you...

With these fatal factors combined, he still managed to think of dragging someone down with him. Chen Tuo was starting to admire him a little.

Even though he was a beast, it didn't stop Chen Tuo from seeing the good qualities in him.

People like this deserve to live in the apocalypse.

Even if he really is a beast...

However, admiring him was one thing, but it didn't change Chen Tuo's desire to kill him.

The look in Hua Lian's eyes when he got up was so resentful, like a wounded lone wolf, or a venomous snake hiding in the shadows.

If this kind of creature survives, it will definitely be a huge threat to me.

Who knows, we might bump into him somewhere in the future and he might bite us hard.

Therefore... he must die!

"Brother Tuo, can you aim accurately?"

Jiang Xin watched as Chen Tuo squinted one eye, brandishing a dagger at the people downstairs, and couldn't help but ask.

She admired and trusted Chen Tuo's fighting skills from the bottom of her heart, but she did have some doubts about his knife-throwing skills.

"I used to like it for a while when I was a kid, but I gave up on it later. Otherwise, that axe blow wouldn't have hit that person's shoulder, but their head."

Chen Tuo watched the figure with the painted face getting further and further away, but he was not in a hurry. He quietly waited for the best time to make a move.

The direction the painted-face man fled was not towards the main road in the wide area of the residential area, but rather into the gap between two buildings.

Although there are zombies in this direction and at this distance, their numbers are extremely small.

Meanwhile, most of the zombies on the ground were attracted by Lao Zhang's bloody scent, and only a small number chased after him.

Even though he was limping with one leg, he might still have a chance to survive if he was lucky.

After all, a "fresh chunk of meat" like Old Zhang is far more attractive to zombies than a rotten chunk of meat in a jar.

The man with the painted face was limping, about to disappear completely around the corner...

call out!

Chen Tuo made his move.

The dagger flew from his hand and plunged straight down with a whooshing sound.

"ah--"

The man with the painted face stumbled, his already unsteady legs tripped, and he almost fell to the ground.

The dagger was driven into the back of his neck.

Strictly speaking, it was at the junction of the back of the neck and the head that half of the blade was embedded in the flesh, and blood was visibly flowing out of the wound.

The location of the wound was too subtle to tell whether it was on the neck or the head.

But clearly, Hua Lian suffered a severe blow.

He swayed unsteadily, as if he might collapse at any moment, like a struggle before death, yet he did not fall.

After clutching his neck, he slammed his hand against the wall, using it for support, and forcefully veered into a blind spot, disappearing completely from sight...

"Brother Tuo, is he... is he dead? Should we go down and check, just to prevent any future trouble!"

Jiang Xin panicked and, with the idea of striking while the iron was hot, grabbed her weapon and tried to charge.

Chen Tuo leaned against the window, resting his chin on his hand, quietly watching the corner where the painted-face man had left.

The bloody handprint on the wall was horrifying, and the twenty or thirty zombies attracted by his blood were chasing him into the corner one after another...

"He fell from the building, was limping, and had a knife wound to the back of his head. The smell of blood also attracted so many zombies. If he were left in such an open area of the residential area... he would definitely die."

"Brother Ke Tuo, what if?" Jiang Xin was still unwilling to give up.

Chen Tuo smiled.

"If he survived in a situation where there was a 99% chance of death, then he was destined to live. I'll just wish him well. What, do you want to set off fireworks for him?"

Even with Jiang Xin's quick-witted mind, she couldn't keep up with Chen Tuo's rapid-fire thinking for a moment.

"If he collapses around the corner, we can go down and take a look to put our minds at ease."

"You go if you want, I'm not going," Chen Tuo shook his head.

Fortunately, Hua Lian hadn't bled much before, as Old Zhang had drawn most of the fire.

However, after he stabbed himself, the smell of blood was exposed, which undoubtedly became the "sensory source" that attracted the zombies.

In an instant, twenty or thirty snakes followed him into the corner, and many more followed behind.

Although he escaped in a direction that wasn't far, just next door, it wasn't the distance between apartment buildings, but the distance between an entire building, at least a hundred meters.

Getting across here won't be easy, not to mention the zombies below.

Chen Tuo didn't want to take such a risk just to see if the painted-face corpse was lying there.

Given his injuries and the ferocity of the zombies chasing after him, he had virtually no chance of survival.

This can be roughly determined by the fact that the zombies swarmed around the corner and couldn't stop, with the zombies behind them unable to squeeze in, and the faint sounds of chewing and tearing could be heard.

This kind of person isn't so bad that I can't sleep if they're dead and their body isn't found.

If he could survive under such circumstances...

Chen Tuo truly admired him.

He deserves a thumbs up.

"So many zombies..."

Looking down at the horde of zombies that were rushing towards Old Zhang and had completely buried his body, Chen Tuo couldn't help but sigh.

His gaze swept forward, then turned to the sky.

Despite the impending apocalypse, today is still a sunny day.

Dealing with scum like Hua Lian before leaving was a good thing, and I was unexpectedly in a good mood...

Just as Chen Tuo was squinting and enjoying the gentle breeze on his face, he seemed to catch something out of the corner of his eye.

What's on the roof of the building across the street?

Chen Tuo shifted his gaze slightly and took a closer look...

There really is something!

Because the distance between the third floor and the thirty-first floor was too great and backlit, it was difficult to see clearly; only a vague outline could be made out.

It looked like a human figure.

A figure sitting on the outer edge of the railing on the rooftop.

One step away from falling into the air and plummeting from the top of the building.

Survivors?

Chen Tuo felt a chill run down his spine, wanting to see more clearly, but he couldn't make it out no matter what he did.

He then turned to look at Shu Yao, who was guarding the door.

Did you bring binoculars?

Shu Yao touched her backpack and nodded quickly, "I brought it."

Before Chen Tuo could speak, she quickly took out a pair of binoculars, walked over, and handed them to him.

Chen Tuo raised the binoculars to his eyes and looked up at the building.

His previously calm expression suddenly changed.

"Brother Tuo, what's wrong?" Jiang Xin noticed the change and couldn't help but ask.
