After the ceasefire order, Yue Zhong was startled to see to that the Village entrance was still filled to the brim with zombies!
From all corners of Big Cliff Village, zombies seemed to continuously crawl out, with no end in sight.
“WTF! Why are there so many zombies?” Yue Zhong was frowning as he looked at the swarm of zombies creeping towards him.
Zombies were usually distributed all over the village. Last time Yue Zhong brought people to raid Stone Horse Village, he would draw about 100 zombies out. Then the team will clear this wave of zombies before drawing out and clearing a second wave of zombie.
In this way, each subsequent waves of zombies are slowly cleared, with minimum danger to his team. But unexpectedly this time, all the zombies in the village were drawn out, and the numbers posed a significant threat to his team.
Other than the zombies that continued to pour out of Big Cliff Village, many of the zombies that were shot from the earlier round of fire also slowly climbed up from the ground again, and shakily made their way towards Yue Zhong’s team.
Zombies were impossible to kill with bullets unless they were shot in the head. Unfortunately, most of the bullets hit the zombies in their body. Unlike humans who would be seriously injured by bullets, the zombies seemed to shrug off the bullets as they got up from the ground and continued to advance.
“All close combat team 1 members, follow me!”
Yue Zhong roared an order and led a team of 12 men as they charged into the Zombie horde. Each of these men were clad in Water Python Snakeskin Armor, and wields a Tang Imitation Sword.
If his men were strong enough to fight the battle without his aid, he would be more than happy to direct the battle from behind. This would allow his men to gain even more experience. However, Yue Zhong’s team was currently relatively weak. Each of these elite troops were all valuable resources. He must fight alongside them to give them the courage to fight, and in times of crisis, save their lives.
Yue Zhong, White Bones and the close combat team 1 members charged into the group of zombies, beheading a zombie with each strike of the sword.
The close combat team members were all evolvers. Most of them had continuously poured their stats points into strength and stamina, making them unstoppable close-quarters combat (zombie) killing machines. With enhanced strength, each swing of the sword would cleave through a zombie easily and occasionally hit the zombie next to it. With enhanced stamina, these fighters were able to continuously hack apart the zombies without feeling fatigued. In a short span of time, over 100 zombies have been destroyed.
However, the tide of zombies were endless, and no matter how many they killed, there were more to replace these fallen zombies. It was like fighting a hydra. For each zombie that was beheaded, it was replaced by two more of its mates. Over time, even the elite close combat team members began to feel afraid, and helpless. After all, their stamina was limited, while the horde of zombies were never ending.
Translator notes.
“First Combat Team members, retreat!” After killing scores of zombies, Yue Zhong estimated that his team was reaching their limits, and promptly sounded the order to retreat. He had no desire to risk the lives of his men.
From the entrance of the village, more and more zombies emerged. The first combat team members only comprised of 12 men. Even though they were wearing Water Python Snakeskin Armour, they would be killed without a doubt if they were surrounded by the sea of zombies.
These first combat team members were all at least level 7 evolvers. To Yue Zhong, each of these members were invaluable, and he would be heartbroken if even one of these men perished.
After receiving the command, all the men in the first close combat team immediately retreated at the first opportunity.
Yue Zhong and White Bones continued to hold back the tide of zombies to buy time for his men to escape. After ensuring all his men had safety retreated, Yue Zhong and White Bones were also preparing to retreat.
At this moment, suddenly the zombie horde parted to make way for another group of zombies. To Yue Zhong’s horror, there were 7 S2 zombies, 8 L2 zombies, 36 S1 zombies, and 43 L1 zombies rushing out towards him!
“Holy Shit! Even the zombies have someone directing them?” Looking at the 100 or so elite zombies charging towards him, he could not help feeling that someone or something was controlling these zombie.
