“What the hell are you doing?” Pang Meiqin had barely yelled before she closed her mouth.
The stone floor seemed to transform into a liquid substance, creeping up Lin Weiguo’s arm.
Within three seconds, it covered his entire body, forming a solid stone armor.
“Now the zombies won’t be able to break my defense, will they?” With only his head exposed, Lin Weiguo smiled, flexed his body, ran into the bedroom, and when he came out again, he had a large travel bag on his back and was holding his MG42 machine gun.
“Great, it’s only about ten kilos, and it doesn’t restrict my movement at all.
Let’s go, I’ll explain more to you later.”
Before Lin Weiguo could finish, Tang Zheng had already noticed that the armor didn’t hinder his agility at all and even enhanced his strength.
Instead of opening the door, Lin Weiguo just smashed through it, then gunshots quickly echoed in the hallway.
Everyone’s heart tightened.
Had zombies invaded this close vicinity?
Without hesitation, Tang Zheng rushed out, took a quick glance at the hallway on the right, ensuring that Lin Weiguo could handle the three hunter zombies, before turning to his defensive direction.
Four hunter zombies and two zombies with bony claws on their hands, startled by the gunshots, rushed over.
Their speed and sprint capabilities were particularly outstanding, and in just three seconds, they had crossed a forty-meter distance and pounced at Tang Zheng.
Rat-tat-tat.
The MG3 Roaring Death spewed out lethal muzzle flames.
The large 12.7mm bullets instantly tore apart the hunter zombies’ bodies.
They exploded in mid-air, strewing chunks of flesh and blood all over the walls.
Barely containing their fear, Pang Meiqin and Bai Guo tried their best to stay calm, but their pale faces belied their worry and fright.
Li Xinlan’s only concern was for Tang Zheng’s safety.
As soon as he stepped out, this housewife—a tactical vest worn over travel bags and shotgun, an M4A1 Carbine in her hand—ran out too.
“Don’t be afraid, now move.” Qin Yan urged them, simultaneously providing cautionary instructions, “Stay calm.
Careful not to shoot your own.
And watch your step; don’t trip while running.”
“Get out here quick.” The gunshots ceased, but then Lin Weiguo’s roar echoed, “Don’t waste time or I’ll leave you behind.”
Despite knowing it was merely a threat and Lin Weiguo wouldn’t actually do that, it proved to be much more effective than Qin Yan’s coaxing.
The two flight attendants, startled by his words, immediately darted out like frightened rabbits.
“Sister Xin Lan, let me take one of the travel bags.” Noticing the three ammo clips on Li Xinlan’s tactical vest all packed with clips and even a bullet chain hanging from her, Tang Zheng felt a little unsettled.
She was definitely carrying over sixty kilos.
“No need, I can carry it.
You just focus on the fight.” Despite the significant strength increase from the Golden Seed, carrying all this still seemed slightly strenuous for Li Xinlan, as her continuous panting revealed.
“Sister Xin Lan, let me help you.” Bai Guo, now empty-handed after discarding her useless possessions, saw Li Xinlan’s condition and reached out to assist her, but the housewife evaded her.
“Time to move.
Keep up.” Making sure the hallway was safe, Lin Weiguo moved forward.
“There’s no need.” Li Xinlan shook her head and followed him.
Pang Meiqin and Zhou Zhou, not daring to delay further, closely followed suit.
“Sister Qin Yan?
Did I do something wrong?
Why would Sister Xin Lan reject my goodwill?” Bai Guo felt a bit wronged, looking at the mature woman Qin Yan, waiting for her answer.
“You didn’t do anything wrong; she just doesn’t want to lose this trust.” Qin Yan took Bai Guo’s hand and followed them.
Li Xinlan wanted to protect Tang Zheng’s rear, and she was afraid that Bai Guo would make a mistake and lose the combat supply.
Tang Zheng took a final look around this floor.
He knew he would never have the chance to return; this would be a journey into the unknown.
As expected, there were many zombies in the Oasis Hotel.
Upon hearing the trotting sound of a few people in the corridor, some of the closed room doors erupted with the growls of zombies, and then they started to slam against the doors.
These creatures had apparently entered through the balconies.
Two hunter zombies sprang from a suite next to Lin Weiguo.
The former Southern Sharp Sword reacted quickly, opening fire and killing one directly.
The other managed to knock him down due to its close proximity, scratching five marks on his stone armor with its claws and aiming for Lin Weiguo’s throat with its mouth.
Lin Weiguo quickly blocked his throat with his left arm, pushing the zombie’s head forward.
He followed through with a punch to its temple.
A crisp sound of a neck bone breaking followed, and as his right hand drew the M1911A1 from his holster, his left hand ripped the zombie down by the neck and placed the muzzle to its head, pulling the trigger.
After two shots, the hunter zombie’s head had turned into a rotten watermelon.
“Well done.” Lin Weiguo stood up.
Seeing Li Xinlan and Qin Yan holding their guns and ready to fire at any time, he couldn’t help but praise them.
However, Pang Meiqin, Bai Guo, and Zhou Zhou didn’t know what to do.
With guns in their arms, they watched him fight the zombies in a panic.
They could handle slow-moving ordinary zombies, but it would be difficult up against hunters.
“Wei, you’re going to give me a heart attack, don’t play like that anymore.” Tang Zheng saw that the attendants were tense and joked to Lin Weiguo to ease the oppressive atmosphere.
“Don’t worry, with this armor, I absolutely won’t die.
Who was it that didn’t close the door after searching the rooms?
Otherwise, how could the zombies get out?” Lin Weiguo picked up the MG42 that he had dropped, and complained, “Which way are we going?
The elevator or the stairs?”
“Stairs.” Tang Zheng would rather face a few more zombies along the way than be ambushed by them when the elevator doors opened.
The run from the fourth floor to the security room on the second floor took less than three minutes.
However, there were over forty zombies.
Lin Weiguo had even emptied a 300-bullet chain for this, leaving Tang Zheng’s job a little easier.
Only one unfortunate zombie attacked from behind, but it was quickly turned into broken flesh.
With a bang, they closed the door of the security room and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Zheng and Qin Yan immediately rushed to the monitor.
Pang Meiqin and Zhou Zhou exchanged glances.
They had many questions, but now was not the time to ask, and they couldn’t be sure that Tang Zheng would answer.
“Damn, so many have come in.” Lin Weiguo squeezed over and almost passed out.
Each floor had at least seven or eight zombies.
The hotel lobby was even worse, with zombies constantly entering and then disappearing into the passageway.
The zombies not killed on the second floor gathered and started hitting the door of the security room.
But no one cared, as everyone’s gaze was fixed on the screens of the monitors showing the situation on the twelfth floor.
