Chapter 509: One Wave After Another

~16 min read 3,070 words

Laughter seemed to have a natural conflict with the end times. It seemed that as long as people felt a little bit of happiness, it would be ruthlessly deprived.

The relaxed mood of the combatants infected the ordinary members. When everyone didn't take this snowfall seriously, things were about to happen! *Clang, clang, clang... *

It was lively upstairs, when suddenly a burst of violent slapping sounds came from downstairs, echoing in the empty mall, and the whole mall suddenly became quiet.

*Clang, clang... *

As people stopped talking, the sound of slapping the door became more intense, as if they were going to break the door panel.

"What the hell is this situation?"

Everyone looked at each other, not associating the violent slapping with the ordinary zombies before. In their view, even if those zombies wandered near the mall, they were just a mob. When they were in a good mood, they would take weapons downstairs and solve them easily.

The result was not what they thought. The zombies actually took the initiative to come to the door?

"This sound seems to come from the back door. The front is all glass doors!"

Pan Guoliang licked his lips. He had wandered around the Le-Go Mall several times before and had a basic understanding of it.

"The back door is also quite sturdy after reinforcement, it should..."

A captain of the Survivor Alliance search team hadn't finished his sentence.

"Ah!"

A scream came from downstairs, and the shrill emotion was like a sharp knife stuck in everyone's heart.

"Someone was bitten? Who the fuck is so stupid to open the door!"

Wu Baokang knew someone was bitten as soon as he heard the scream. Only being bitten by a zombie would make that kind of tragic, desolate cry, because everyone had a consensus that being bitten meant certain death!

That cry wasn't because of pain, but because of nostalgia for life.

"Did those zombies break in through the back door?"

Yu Wen supported his glasses and looked at the pitch-black space below. He couldn't see anything, but he could feel that the first floor seemed very chaotic.

*Awoo, awoo-awoo! *

As if specifically responding to Yu Wen's question, a burst of unique zombie howling sounded leisurely.

"Zombies rushed in from the back door, there are zombies!"

"No, no, no, ah... help!"

"Everyone run, go upstairs, the zombies are crazy, they're jumping!"

At the same time, the chaotic shouting of the crowd also reached everyone's ears. Shrill screams, running and knocking things over, crazy calls for help—in an instant, the mall was in a mess! The combatants were basically concentrated on the third floor, and the core personnel were gathered on the fourth floor. The surprise happened in a flash, making everyone look at each other.

Usually, there weren't many people on the first floor. Today the situation was special, and some activities before were held on the first floor, which led to many people lingering on the first floor at this time.

And these people became the first target of zombie attacks!

"Jumping! How the fuck are they jumping?"

Pan Guoliang instantly grasped the key word and looked at the Yama Legion members with a solemn face.

Lu Yubo scratched his head: "How can zombies jump?"

"Of course they're enhanced, my Brother Bo!" Wu Lue's lust was big, but his brain wasn't stupid, and he reacted immediately.

"Didn't see any changes before, didn't expect them to be enhanced..."

Zhang Ya pursed her lips tightly, worried about herself and Wang Xin who was still outside.

"Enhanced... hurry, hurry, organize people to carry out defensive counterattacks!"

Yu Wen was stunned when he heard the word "enhanced" and immediately gave orders to organize manpower.

"Right, all combatants gather immediately. Team Leader Wu, is there any way to provide lighting?"

Li Zongkai didn't forget the task Zhang Su gave him and tried his best to assist Yu Wen.

"Yes, who, damn it, I'll go myself, get out of the way!"

Wu Baokang originally wanted to direct others to turn on the searchlight, but later found that except for him, only the two former first-lady wives standing in the corner might know where the searchlight switch was. It was better to do it himself.

Wu Baokang went to turn on the light, and the combatants of the Le-Go branch and the defenders of civilization didn't unload their weapons. They ran around, making a *thump, thump, thump* sound, very urgent, making people highly nervous.

The Yama Legion members didn't need to say much. When they heard the slapping sound, they were already prepared for battle. There weren't many people, but their state was excellent.

With a *thump*, a beam of light as thick as a bowl fell from the sky. The high-power searchlight turned on. The light was too concentrated, but everyone could still see the tragic situation on the first floor from the diffracted light! Because of the angle, people could only see twenty or so zombies wreaking havoc, but the speed of running was far from that of ordinary zombies before. Simple obstacles were nothing in front of them, charging through as if they were nothing, rushing toward the survivors like hungry tigers, and then biting on their necks, which was quite brutal.

From the first floor to the fourth floor, the distance between the mall floors was very high, a full twenty meters, equivalent to six stories of an ordinary apartment building. At such a distance, everyone could still feel the bloodthirst and madness of the zombies. If they hadn't watched those zombies come downstairs, they wouldn't have believed they were the same species.

"These zombies... did they take medicine?"

Wu Lue couldn't help but click his tongue. His combat power was basically at the bottom among the Yama Legion members left in the Le-Go Mall. Seeing the zombies running, he was a bit timid.

"I don't know if the zombies took medicine, I feel like I have to take medicine to be able to beat them..." Liu Tianji's dark humor.

"Damn, is it an experimental product of the science department?"

Pan Guoliang looked at the location of the explosion upstairs with a gloomy face, wondering how many harmful things were tinkered with in that laboratory.

"No, it's just that the zombies got enhanced in this snow!" Yu Wen analyzed and answered everyone's questions very firmly.

But the answer was the answer, and the problem still existed and hadn't been solved...

"Can we deal with them?"

"I feel that one of these zombies is now stronger than three. We can't beat them..."

"It's hard to say. We have so many people, and the big brothers of the Yama Legion are here. It should be fine."

The situation downstairs made some combatants feel hesitant. Everyone had basic judgment. The zombies that rushed into the mall were several grades stronger than before. If a head-on conflict occurred, a moment of negligence would mean death!

This, of course, didn't include the Yama Legion members. Their combat belief was very firm, and they also had confidence in their own skills.

"What the fuck are you all doing? You're only good at bullying the weak, and you're scared when you see something hard? If you're a coward, throw away your weapons, take off your pants, and go downstairs to sell your ass! Those who have balls, follow me downstairs! *Pah! *"

Wu Baokang ran back, feeling the uneasy mood in the team, and looked at everyone with disdain. He originally looked down on other combatants, and now he didn't hide his contempt at all, spitting at the combatants who were scared.

"Stop talking shit, I'm not afraid at all!"

Lu Yubo raised his grain sampler, looking unconvinced, suspecting that the other party was pointing at the mulberry to scold the locust.

Wu Baokang curled his lips and said impatiently: "I'm talking about those cowards, don't look for trouble!"

"President, what should we do?"

Wu Daqiang took a deep breath and looked at Li Zongkai.

"There is no other choice, cheer up and kill the zombies!"

Li Zongkai didn't hesitate at all. This choice had nothing to do with loyalty, but was based on facts. If they didn't take advantage of the large number of people to fight together, they would eventually be broken by the zombies one by one!

"The zombies have been enhanced. Warriors, you are fearless and invincible. Believe me, we will definitely be able to defeat them. Charge!"

Yu Wen saw the changes in the zombies and also felt the pressure, but he couldn't retreat. And he wasn't just shouting slogans. For the first time since coming to the Le-Go Mall, he picked up his gun and was the first to run toward the stairs. His movements were very agile, fully interpreting what it meant to be "old but strong." Following closely, other Yama Legion members left in the Le-Go Mall followed up. The zombies were stronger, but if they retreated when facing zombies, who would have the face to call themselves the Yama Legion?

Whether it was Zhang Ya, a woman, or Wu Lue and Liu Tianji, who were technically oriented, they all followed behind Lu Yubo, Pan Guoliang, and others. Their expressions were solemn, but their movements didn't hesitate.

*Rat-tat, rat-tat, rat-tat-tat... *

Before they went downstairs, Tan Huajun had already started fighting upstairs. After a period of training, she had a fuller understanding of her talent. Under deliberate training, her use of firearms became more and more proficient.

After a few shots, she killed two or three zombies on the spot, but unfortunately, she couldn't directly save the lives of ordinary members because those zombies had already completed the killing and were enjoying the flesh and blood. Their mouths were covered in blood, and human tissue hung between their teeth, which was very tragic.

"Fat Big Sister is amazing, leave the sniper position to you, brothers, charge!"

Wu Baokang waved his arm and led the crowd to run toward the safety passage.

No one dared to question Tan Huajun, who stayed upstairs to shoot. Before the battle, she already had a kill record. Her marksmanship was recognized by everyone. Give her a gun and provide a relatively safe sniper position, and she could create the greatest value! After some encouragement, those who were afraid gradually became brave. The zombies wandering over from the Taiyang City pedestrian street were only a few dozen. They had fifty combatants, so what was the problem with one against two?

But they didn't know that at the same time the back door of the mall was slapped, in the lobby on the first floor of the Ziyougang office building opposite, the plywood blocking the gate had broken, and zombies that couldn't even fit in the lobby of the office building were surging out in waves.

After the zombie army squeezed out of the office building and stood in the empty and messy parking lot for a while, a burst of screams suddenly came from the Le-Go Mall in the quiet world. The zombies turned their heads in unison and wandered toward the Le-Go Mall like water.

The combatants in the mall went downstairs very quickly. Fifty or so combatants encountered the first wave of zombies rushing upstairs at the corner of the second floor! In the past, zombies would also go upstairs, but because their joints were stiff, their movements were very slow, and many times they fell and rolled, unable to go up a floor for a long time. Now it was different; zombies were much more agile going upstairs!

"Don't fire, you'll hurt your own people, hand-to-hand combat, hand-to-hand combat!"

Wu Baokang shouted loudly. He exceeded the Yama Legion members and rushed to the first place during the process of going downstairs. He didn't expect to run into the zombies rushing upstairs. In the cramped and dark stairwell, firing was basically equivalent to suicide!

After reminding his companions, he flew and kicked.

*Thump! * The zombie that was preparing to sprint and pounce on the crowd was kicked solidly in the chest and fell backward on the spot, pressing several zombies behind it into a rolling gourd, falling directly to the first and a half floor.

"I fuck your mother!"

Wu Baokang stood firm and didn't stop, pulling out the rebar club he brought from Tianma Island, pouncing on the zombie from the air.

The zombie that was pouncing on ordinary members just now was like a fierce tiger, but now it fell to the ground and became a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and Wu Baokang was the fierce tiger.

He had been holding a belly of fire since yesterday. He couldn't beat Zhang Su, so he could only output with words, but his mouth was sealed. At this moment, he finally caught the opportunity and decided to release it thoroughly.

*Puff! *

Carrying the force of jumping from the air, the rebar club pierced the zombie's head on the spot, piercing it through, and the rebar club hit the ground with a *clang*.

Changing his force to stand firm, he pulled out the dagger he had re-equipped and stabbed the zombie on the side that hadn't had time to stand up. Unfortunately, the blood on the ground was too slippery, making him slightly lose his accuracy, only stabbing the zombie's neck, but it also well restricted the other party's actions.

*Puff, puff. *

The second attack followed, and the venting abuse quickly stabbed the zombie to death.

"Holy shit, your movements are quite fast, don't leave any for me!"

Lu Yubo followed the main force of the Yama Legion and rushed up, only to find that four or five zombies climbing upstairs were solved by everyone, and he didn't even grab a hair.

"There are plenty outside, enough for you to kill!"

Wu Baokang was speechless at Lu Yubo, who was too excited.

The stairwell was very narrow. Everyone rushed into the first-floor lobby at the first opportunity, and encountered three fearless zombies rushing into the crowd. Two combatants who were leading the charge didn't figure out the direction and were knocked to the ground. This scene scared everyone.

"Go to hell!"

"Damn..."

Beside the two combatants who fell to the ground were Wu Baokang and Lu Yubo. The two reacted quickly and greeted the zombies, and the two who fell also took the opportunity to climb up, feeling a lingering fear in their hearts.

Whether looking down from upstairs or the short battle in the stairwell just now, everyone didn't intuitively feel the zombies' strengthening until their companions were knocked flying by the zombies!

If it weren't for the two fierce generals assisting from the side, the two would have died on the spot. Fortunately, there were many people and great strength, but even so, the strengthening of the zombies could not be ignored...

"The zombies are much more powerful than before, everyone be careful!"

Zhang Xin participated in the battle just now and was swept by the zombie's wildly dancing arms on his thigh. The huge force almost knocked him down, which was impossible before.

"I don't feel how powerful they are, brothers, follow me, charge!"

Wu Baokang was murderous and led the crowd to rush out.

It had to be said that the fifty or so combatants were indeed brave. They stabbed more than ten zombies in one encounter. With the advantage of numbers and strong combat power, those cruel zombies that were helpless in the eyes of ordinary members fell one by one.

"I said it was just like this, haha."

"Hurry up and be serious, don't be happy and sad!"

Wu Baokang laughed, Wu Daqiang reminded him with a frown beside him.

"Afraid of a fart, there are more over there, watch me..."

Before Wu Baokang's words fell, a *pang-lang-hua-la* came from his ears...

A string of glass shattering sounds rang out, indicating that something more ominous had happened.

"Not good, the gate has been broken!"

"Everyone run, many zombies have rushed in!"

People on the second floor who could see the mall gate shouted, their tone trembling.

"Isn't it just those dozens on the pedestrian street? Where did the zombies come from in front? Is someone making trouble?"

Wu Baokang saw the zombies rushing in at the front gate with limited light. It was a black mass, reminding him of the scene of special purchases, at least two or three hundred!

"Who the fuck knows, holy shit!"

Zhang Xin gritted his teeth, and his hands holding the weapons were sweating.

The process of killing zombies just now was shouted very sharply, but in fact, they only killed forty or fifty, which was about the same as the number of combatants. This record was simply not worth mentioning compared to the battle outside Tianma Island yesterday.

If they encountered a large group again, they would collapse! *Rat-tat, rat-tat-tat... *

Tan Huajun's marksmanship was good, but she suffered from not having Zhang Su's super vision. Limited by the dark environment, aiming required a process, but even so, the killing speed was amazing. Zombies fell in the corpse group one by one. Unfortunately, compared to the number of zombies rushing in, the killed zombies were just the tip of the iceberg.

"Quick, fire, fire quickly... holy shit!"

*Rat-tat-tat... *

Wu Baokang couldn't care about anything else. Seeing the zombies rushing into the mall like lunatics, he pulled the bolt and swept them.

*Rat-tat-tat, rat-tat... *

Very few people reacted to use guns at the first opportunity. Except for Wu Baokang, there were only Wu Daqiang and Big Head from the defenders of civilization, and Lu Yubo, Pan Guoliang, and Zhang Ya from the Yama Legion.

Others either had a bad position and were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, or were not proficient and were in a mess...

Six guns, even if they emptied the magazines, there were only two hundred or so bullets. Blindly shooting at countless zombies was no different from a drop in the bucket.

There were indeed zombies hit and falling, but if there was a chance to accurately calculate the number, it would be found that the zombies killed by these six guns were about the same as the number killed by Tan Huajun!

*Awoo, awoo-awoo... *

Without giving the combatants more time, after a round of shooting, the leading zombies turned their direction and rushed toward the crowd! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 510 =====
