75: Chapter 43: Arrangement (Part 2)

Bang, bang, bang, the gunshots echoed around the hollow supermarket, sounding exceptionally sharp.

“Zhao Jingye, have you gone mad?” The bald man on patrol jumps in fright, questioning, but all he gets in response is a spine-chilling shadow laugh from behind.

Before he could turn around, a chunky object smashes into his waist and tosses him towards the shelves.

“Damn, there’re two.” Zhao Jingye heard the commotion from the bald man’s side and his face turns pale.

Furthermore, the Shadow Barbie on his arm resists the gunshot and lunges towards his neck, which terrifies him further.

Zhao Jingye sidesteps, but it’s in vain.

The Shadow Barbie’s hands clamp onto his neck, choking him to the point he can barely breathe.

In this moment of calamity, Captain Zhao extraordinarily keeps his cool.

His left hand grabs its hair and yanks down while his right hand lifts the gun to its head and pulls the trigger.

Bang, bang.

The top of the Shadow Barbie’s head is blasted away, splattering brain matter and blood all over Zhao Jingye’s upper body.

He cannot spare the time to wipe it off, coughing violently as he attempts to escape.

The commotion from the bald man’s side has ceased, it doesn’t look promising.

The bald man indeed has bad luck.

He is hit by another Shadow Barbie.

His head strikes the iron shelf directly, instantly feeling dizzy.

Before he could even clear his head, the zombie’s sharp teeth sink into his neck.

Even though the cloth around his neck serves as a barrier, his skin still gets punctured, soaking with blood instantly.

However, the bald man, trained in a prison, reacts quickly.

Feeling the zombie on his back, instead of throwing a fist, he draws the handgun from his belt, presses it against the bitten portion of his neck, and fires two shots at point-blank.

The Shadow Barbie doesn’t even have time to scream before its head is blown off.

The body falls to the ground while the bald man clutches his neck with his left hand, stumbling towards the supermarket exit.

The two shots he just fired near his ear practically ruptured his eardrums, adding to his dizziness.

Crash, the bald man topples over onto the shelves and tumbles into a pile of sanitary napkins.

His eyes fixated on the ceiling, his body unconsciously twitching as blood flows from his neck.

“Ha, I guess that’s my contribution to the team.

In my next life, I want to live well.” Before Wu Xudong finally shuts his eyes, the last image in his mind is of his family, who perished in a house fire fifteen years ago.

Crash!

Zhao Jingye smashes the glass door, tumbles a few steps forward onto the street.

Looking at the two air-hostesses on patrol twenty meters away, he exerts all his strength and shouts the word ‘run’.

Seeing Zhao Jingye’s brutal state, Pang Meiqin, and Zhou Zhou are startled, almost instinctively turning around and bolting towards the gas station.

….

The gas station is on the left side of the rest area, with a total of twenty fuel pumps, three uniformed workers, and two drivers.

The zombies are already killed, lying on the cement floor.

A Hummer is parked in front of gasoline pump number 91; the fuel tank lid is open and the fuel nozzle is dangling on one side.

“Tang Zheng, are you sure this setup will work?” Qin Yan Is currently using a firefighter axe to dismantle a fuel pump, the gasoline gushes out after it’s been broken, splattering everywhere.

The scent of gasoline immediately fills the air.

“Before entering the rest area, the zombies will have to pass by the gas station on the highway.

I’ll attract them over and start a fire.” Tang Zheng is also wielding a fire ax to hack down a fuel pump, but what he does is more meticulous.

After breaking the pump, the gasoline sprays out like rain, first reaching four meters above the ground before falling down.

“Even if the hunter zombies are quick, they should still get soaked in gasoline by the time they scurry through here.

Actually, I’d like to burst the oil pipeline and create a fiery storm.”

“That’s great, the more gasoline they’re covered with, the quicker it’ll burn, and the wider the range will be.” Qin Yan’s eyes sparkle.

Tang Zheng indeed considers all angles when doing anything, yet she promptly frowns, “But those four special infected ones possessing wisdom, they won’t be easily tricked, will they?”

“This trap is primarily designed to deal with those hunter zombies and tank zombies.

Without their minions, those four mutated creatures aren’t worth shit.

Besides, I’ve arranged an ‘invite’ to entertain them.

They won’t die easily.” No sooner Tang Zheng finishes his words, he spots Pang Meiqin and Zhou Zhou running over in a panic, and his heart immediately tightens, “What happened?”

“Zhao, Zhao Jingye is dead.” Zhou Zhou huffed, shouting out.

She didn’t particularly like Zhao Jingye, panicking now and more importantly, was the fear of death.

“Are you sure?

Take us with you.” Qin Yan’s face was filled with disbelief, “Ordinary Hunter zombie couldn’t defeat them, could they?”

“What about the bald man?

Weren’t they together?” Tang Zheng’s face darkened.

Could it be that there were even more formidable special infectors here?

“Have you guys seen any zombies?”

“We didn’t see.” Pang Meiqin shook her head, “The two of them went into the supermarket, but only Zhao Jingye ran out.”

Tang Zheng did not ask any further, dropped the firefighter axe, picked up the Howling Reaper, and ran towards the supermarket.

Instead of asking two flight attendants who knew nothing, it was better to go and check for himself.

Qin Yan, without any hesitation, followed closely.

Pang Meiqin and Zhou Zhou exchanged a glance and hurried to catch up as well.

“Little Tang, what exactly is going on?” Qin Yan was not as fast as Tang Zheng.

When she arrived on the main street of the rest area, she saw Zhao Jingye’s corpse lying on the ground.

Tang Zheng stood not far away examining it.

Then, raising his gun, he cautiously advanced towards the supermarket.

“Zhao Jingye is dead.

He was killed by a zombie.

But generally, zombies will attack humans on sight.

Why did they let Pang Meiqin and Zhou Zhou go?” Tang Zheng was confused, “It seems that bald man is most likely dead.”

“Let me check it out.” Qin Yan stopped Tang Zheng, “You don’t know about my seed ability yet.

I’m the most suitable one to deal with this situation.”

“What ability?” Tang Zheng glanced at the two flight attendants who were hiding far away and didn’t dare to come over.

“Certain parts of my body can liquefy to offset attacks when I get injured.” Qin Yan pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into her shoulder.

Indeed, that part became a silver liquid, letting the dagger slide right through, and then it re-solidified back to its original form.

“Nice ability.

An undying body?” Tang Zheng almost unconsciously stretched out his hand and touched Qin Yan’s shoulder.

Soon realizing it was inappropriate, he quickly withdrew his hand, “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.” Qin Yan’s cheeks flushed, and it was the first time a man had touched her body.

Especially since the protective clothing was quite snug, she could even feel the warmth of Tang Zheng’s hand.

To hide her embarrassment, she diverted the topic, “It’s not an undying body, I can still get hurt if it exceeds my ability to bear, or if my energy is exhausted.”

“Then be careful.

If you sense any danger, run outside.” Tang Zheng nodded, smashed the glass door to facilitate escape.

Then, he walked over to Zhao Jingye’s body, raised his gun, and blew his head off.

“It’s better this way.

At least we can prevent him from turning into a zombie and attacking us.” Qin Yan sighed.

Blowing off a colleague’s head was indeed a haunting memory for her.
