Chapter 272

Seeing that the people had almost escaped the military base, Ye Su felt a sense of relief.

Just then, the Captain in front of the monitor smirked slightly and turned to his subordinate:

"Go, arrange for the remaining zombies to be released!"

Although the team member was a bit confused as to why the Captain hadn't allowed the zombies to be released earlier, obeying orders was a soldier's duty. Since the Captain's order had been given, it had to be executed meticulously.

Subsequently, another gate in the base opened, and the roars of zombies rang out beneath the helicopter.

The zombies poured out of the tunnel like ants, following closely behind the fleeing crew.

Those injured crew members used every ounce of strength they had, but they were still much slower than the zombies.

Ye Su calculated that they would likely be intercepted by the zombies before reaching the pier, so he hurriedly lowered the helicopter's altitude, blocking the path behind the crowd.

"Rat-tat-tat!"

The two machine guns on the helicopter were like two meat grinders, smashing the rushing zombies to pieces.

The Captain saw through the monitor that Ye Su had lowered the helicopter's altitude, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Notify the snipers to get ready!"

Ye Su saw that the zombies missed by the machine guns were still chasing the crowd, so he explained how to fly the helicopter to Celine, preparing to have her help him fly while he jumped out to rescue them.

But suddenly, Ye Su's brow twitched violently.

"Murderous intent!"

Ye Su looked alertly in the direction of the murderous intent, and sure enough, there was a faint infrared beam.

Ye Su desperately pulled the helicopter's control stick down, but it was a step too late.

A gunshot rang out, and the helicopter's propeller spun wildly as it flew off. Ye Su felt his body jolt, and he plummeted downward.

The tail rotor caused the fuselage to spin in the air. Ye Su was calculating rapidly in his mind how to land safely.

Ye Su grabbed Celine, and at the moment the helicopter was about to crash, he kicked the helicopter door hard, using the reaction force to send them both flying backward.

They narrowly avoided the spinning side rotor, followed by a sky-high blaze; the intense fire swallowed the zombies directly below.

Ye Su felt the hair on his body about to be scorched by the hot air wave, and he spread out in the air while holding Celine, using the thrust.

However, the two were still falling rapidly toward the ground under the influence of gravity. But after the dissipation of force in the air, the falling speed was no longer a problem for Ye Su.

He held Celine and spun twice on the ground to dissipate the force, but soon the zombies surrounded them.

Seeing the two submerged by the zombie tide, the Captain lost interest and left the monitoring room.

Ye Su gave a helpless, bitter smile as he saw the zombies reeking of rot closing in.

He had thought the zombies should have disappeared from the world, but he hadn't expected them to be cultivated as weapons to use against him.

Ye Su unhooked the disintegration gun from his waist, thinking to himself that it was fortunate he had brought weapons; at least he didn't have to face the zombies empty-handed. If he couldn't return to his country for a while and got bitten by a zombie without an inhibitor, the outcome would be miserable.

Ye Su swung the firearm in his hand rapidly. He had to admit that the quality of this alien firearm was truly excellent; under high-intensity impact, it didn't even deform, and every zombie that dared to reach out was sent by Ye Su to be "liberated."

Soon, a clearing was cleared around Ye Su. The zombies had all gone to chase the main group, and the remaining stragglers were wiped out by Ye Su in a few quick moves.

Just as Ye Su wanted to turn back to reunite with the captain and the others, some strangely shaped vehicles appeared inside the base, looking like large cranes.

Ye Su thought for a moment and pulled Celine to hide behind the rocks nearby. The vehicles roared past, crushing the corpses on the ground into a pool of blood.

The zombies behind were attracted by the roar of the vehicles, and some even ran in the opposite direction. A large net was instantly thrown from the vehicle in front.

A few stray zombies were instantly captured by those large nets, and the winches on the mechanical devices on the vehicles spun rapidly; those zombies were hauled up just like the catch on a fishing boat.

Those large nets seemed to be woven from steel wire, and the zombies, despite their enhancements, couldn't tear them apart. Instead, they were lifted up by the hoisting equipment and tossed into the cargo bed like trash.

"They seem to be loading those zombies. Could it be that these zombies are being raised by them!"

Ye Su pulled Celine back behind the stone and said:

"You stay here and wait for me; I'm going to take a look inside the base!"

Just as Ye Su stood up, he felt his clothes being pulled. He turned back to see Celine looking at him with pleading eyes.

"I want to go with you!"

Ye Su patted her hand and said:

"Be good, don't worry! I'll be back in a moment!"

"Are you thinking I'm a burden? You took Ruan Xiu with you when she wanted to go on an adventure!"

Ye Su looked at the determination in Celine's eyes and sighed helplessly:

"Alright, but you must follow my arrangements."

Ye Su glanced in the direction everyone had fled, hoping they could escape successfully. It was a mountain road ahead; once the cars reached there, they shouldn't be able to catch up, and the soldiers would have to get out and search on foot.
