61 -59: The Horde of Corpses

Su Mo took it, gulped down a mouthful, and the stabbing pain in her back faded a bit, but it still throbbed with pain.

Her bones weren’t broken but she definitely had some internal injuries.

Handing back the bottle, Lu Chen pulled out two sniper rifles from Space, giving her one.

They needed to be up high, to kill the enemy.

She put down the Tang Blade, lifted the rifle, and laid prone at the edge of the rooftop.

Before she could even peek down, she was stunned by the spectacular sight in the distance.

“Lu Chen!

Over there…” she said, trembling as she pointed.

The man frowned and looked over, his expression grave.

“No wonder…

there’s not a single zombie here,” Su Mo observed the far distance where a department store was surrounded by a dense and swarming mass of zombies.

“Is there someone alive in that building?”

How much noise must it have taken to attract all the zombies in the city?

It was a sight that made one’s blood run cold with a single glance.

“Quick battle, quick decision,” Lu Chen said coldly, quickly finding a sniping spot on the rooftop.

“Mhm.”

Their field of view was wide open, the battle unfurling right beneath them.

Su Mo set up her rifle, choosing a spot a bit away from Lu Chen, looking down at the colorful display of superpowers and gunshots below.

Jianxiong’s hiding car was already riddled with holes.

With just his brute strength and unarmed, he couldn’t contend with the numerous attackers.

Su Mo squeezed the trigger, squinting her eyes.

The crosshair of the scope zeroed in on the head of the burly man attacking Jianxiong below—her fingertip just had to squeeze, and the person below would die.

The targeted burly man had already found a position and was aiming his gun once more at Jianxiong’s vital spot.

“I can do this,” she breathed in deeply, hesitating no longer, and pulled the trigger.

The silent bullet struck the man’s head, resulting in an explosion of blood.

The body knelt on both knees, the head shattered and collapsing to the ground.

The few remaining people around were already in disarray, Zhao Changsheng’s powerful Thunder Strike flinging the Gold Element Superpower User several meters away, smashing against a wall and rolling onto the ground, the golden light on his body slowly fading as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The smoke began billowing from the engine hood of Jianxiong’s hiding car, and he quickly darted out from the side of the car, pouncing on another nearby burly man.

Caught off guard, the huge figure was pressed to the ground by Jianxiong, who then grabbed his gun, pressed it to the man’s neck, and without hesitation, fired.

The ground was stained crimson, blood flowing everywhere.

Lu Chen was constantly firing his gun in support of Zhao Changsheng, while Su Mo continuously covered for Jianxiong, her trigger finger non-stop, opening a bloody path for him.

Jianxiong glanced up at the office building’s roof, as another power type superpower user launched himself at him.

Before he could even touch him, a shot broke his leg.

In the scope, Su Mo saw Jianxiong give a thumbs-up before fully activating his superpower, knocking the man unconscious with a punch.

The battle was nearing its end.

The people of Old Shen Du were retreating step by step.

The smoke and flames started to appear on the burnt-out car’s engine hood.

Seeing this clearly through her scope, Su Mo immediately dumped all the bodies from the System Bag onto the rooftop to make space and put away her gun and blade.

She shouted at Lu Chen:

“Lu Chen, we need to go!

That car is going to explode!”

The man quickly stowed his rifle, the alley on the left side of the office building was clear.

He pulled out climbing rope from Space, tied it to the left railing, and waved her over, “Come here.”

Su Mo dashed over and jumped onto his back, wrapping her hands around his neck in urgency, “Quick, quick, quick, the explosion will be big enough to draw those zombies.”

“Are you trying to strangle me?” Lu Chen moved his neck uncomfortably, hoisted her up by her legs, and wrapped the rope around them tightly binding them together.

“Sorry, sorry,” she said, loosening her grip awkwardly.

Lu Chen threw the backpack into Space, carried her over the railing, and with dozens of floors beneath them, they began a rapid descent down the rope.

Su Mo’s ears were filled with the whistling hot wind as she clung tightly to the man’s lower abdomen with her legs, the rope only reaching halfway before running out.

Both of them were left swaying in mid-air, hanging off the glass wall.

“Boom”

A massive explosion thundered through the sky.

From the reflection in the window before her, Su Mo saw the spectacle of the car exploding, the giant flames leaping up, with figures of the dead darting in the distance.

“Hold on tight,” the man whispered into her ear.

Su Mo instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck tighter, and with his feet braced against the window, Lu Chen pushed forcefully forward, swinging them through the air like a pendulum, and when they approached the window again, his feet shattered the glass with a powerful kick, and both of them tumbled into the room, with shards of glass scattered all around.

A piercing pain shot through her back again, and Su Mo lay on the ground biting her lip, not allowing herself to cry out in pain.

“Are you okay?” Lu Chen untied the rope and pulled her up.

“Yes, let’s move,” she nodded.

Now was not the time to cry out in pain; she had to endure.

The stairwell on this floor wasn’t damaged, and the two hurried downstairs.

Ah Da was already lying in wait outside, prepared for them, but Lu Chen unleashed all his superpowers, creating more than a dozen Ice Blades at once, launching them all without reservation.

That wasn’t all; he drew his gun and immediately fired the bullets.

Su Mo wasn’t idle either, drawing her gun rapidly, taking aim, and pulling the trigger.

Some avoided the Ice Blades only to be struck by bullets and wailed with pain in their lower abdomens, while others were turned into hedgehogs, with Ah Da’s men dropping almost instantly.

Neither Lu Chen nor Su Mo were keen on prolonged combat; they ran straight out of the office building.

Jianxiong and Zhao Changsheng had also finished dealing with their opponents, and the four of them regrouped, with the only exception being Li Qian.

“Where is Li Qian?” Su Mo’s heart raced, her hands trembling non-stop, panting for breath.

No sooner had she asked than a cloud of dust rose before them, and a police car performed a beautiful drift before coming to a halt in front of them.

“Get in the car,” Li Qian frowned, his mind filled with the densely-packed dots that were quickly approaching.

“You really pulled it off,” Zhao Changsheng opened the passenger door and got in first.

In the backseat were two bottles of gasoline, which Su Mo picked up and tucked into the car.

Once all four were in the car, Li Qian immediately started it and floored the gas pedal, speeding away.

Sitting in the middle, Su Mo held the gasoline and asked in confusion, “Where did you get the gasoline from?”

“Ah, just picked it up,” Li Qian glanced at the rearview mirror as he responded.

“Hmm?

Then I’ll hold onto it for now,” she said, somewhat puzzled, while placing her hand on the bottles and temporarily storing them in the System Bag.

Ah Da stood behind them, holding his gun and spraying bullets at the car, but Li Qian’s drifting maneuvers were sharp enough to prevent any of the tires from getting hit.

“What’s that?” Jianxiong squeezed up to the window and suddenly saw a dense mass of something emerging in the distance.

“Zombie horde,” Su Mo replied with a pale face.

“Damn, Li Qian, isn’t this supposed to be the empty city?

Were you tricking us?” Jianxiong’s eyes bulged wide, clearly frightened.

“I just realized it myself; these things have gotten faster,” Li Qian was retracing the original route as zombies began to appear in their path.

“Clear them out; this car can’t take much of a hit.” He swung the steering wheel fiercely, narrowly avoiding two zombies that lunged at them.

Lu Chen took a pack from the Space, gulped down some Jasmine Tea, and his lower abdomen’s Gold Element Superpower immediately recovered somewhat; he held his gun, clearing the zombies that popped up on the left and occasionally using his superpower to sweep away the zombies before the car.

Wedged in the middle, Su Mo was flanked by Jianxiong on the right, who continuously fired out of the window.
