Chapter 511: I'm Back!

"Can't do it anymore..."

The strongest combatant, Wu Baokang, suddenly felt dark before his eyes after killing another zombie. He knew clearly that this was a sign of reaching the limit, and his body was on the verge of collapse.

Being able to continue to persist relied on willpower and the desire to survive. Once the thought of "fuck it, living is so tiring, better to die" arose in his heart, he would fall immediately!

The second-strongest combatant, Lu Yubo, was still fighting. His lips and arms were all trembling. His clothes were gone, leaving only the bulletproof vest made of petrified zombie skin. Relying on super defense, he could still fight for a while, but death was already within reach.

The motivation supporting him to continue fighting came from unwillingness. The woman he loved hadn't been completely won over, the figure he was trying to chase was getting further and further away, and the beauty he longed for hadn't been tasted.

"Xin-Xin... farewell."

Zhang Ya thought silently in her heart, and at the same time pulled out the rebar club stuck in the zombie's head, feeling all her strength being drained. At this moment, she really wanted to give up. Knowing she was going to die, it was better to die comfortably. Why suffer before dying?

"My wrong decision buried everyone's life. I'm sorry for Mr. Zhang's entrustment..."

"Brother Su... damn, if Brother Su were here, these zombies would be shit!"

Hearing Yu Wen mention Zhang Su, Lu Yubo suddenly had strength. He kicked a zombie away, then stuffed his left forearm into the mouth of another zombie pouncing in front of him. The biting through the bulletproof vest was not only painless but also a bit itchy. His right hand sent the grain sampler upward, killing another zombie again.

What was blocking in front of him wasn't any counter or chair, but zombie corpses, one on top of another, half a person high!

"Ah, Yama King, you were quite powerful when you hit me, now that you need to save your life, where are you? If you have the ability, come here!"

Wu Baokang felt depressed when he heard Lu Yubo and others shouting Zhang Su. If he had the strength of that man, perhaps he would have a chance to survive?

*Buzz, clang, boom, pang-lang... *

Just when everyone was on the verge of despair and about to fall into the abyss of death, the glass curtain wall on the first floor of the mall suffered a violent impact. The sound was crisp, and fragments flew. Many zombies were pushed into the mall by the car head, dizzy and confused. The wheels rolled over them, although they didn't die immediately, they were pressed and unable to move.

At the same time, one by one, the car lights shone into the mall through the cracks. Under the Tyndall effect, beams of light were like substance. In front of the car lights were zombie arms waving. The chaotic black shadows were like magic claws, teasing people's heartstrings.

Darkness and light, two completely opposite sides. The demons dancing in the darkness made people tremble, while the light crushed the demons' cheeks while breaking the darkness, bringing hope to people. When the combatants saw that glimmer of light, their hearts trembled heavily, and everyone was asking silently.

Is the rescue here?

"I'm back, brothers, hold on!"

A high-pitched voice pierced the zombie's howling and beat on the eardrums of the desperate crowd.

"It's Brother Su, it's Brother Su's voice!"

Lu Yubo's eyes were about to crack, and he roared wildly. Blood vessels protruded on his neck. A heat flow surged from his dantian, instantly spreading throughout his body. His strength returned!

"Thank God... everyone hold on, the Yama King is back to save us, hold on! Ah..."

Yu Wen was stunned for a second, not knowing where the strength came from, and shouted. Immediately after, he was pounced on by a zombie, fell heavily to the ground, and felt his chest being bitten. Fortunately, there was petrified skin protection, otherwise he would have died again! "Teacher Yu!"

Zhang Ya screamed. She was also distracted just now, fearing it was an illusion. Until a beam of light stabbed her eyes, she was sure everything was true. Seeing Yu Wen attacked, she hurriedly rescued him.

"Hahaha, the Yama King is back, everyone cheer up 120%, hold on!"

Wu Baokang was covered in scratches on his face and head, and his face was full of blood, but his spirit was extremely excited at this moment, and his state was even more explosive than when he rushed downstairs.

Li Zongkai, Zhang Xin, and Wu Daqiang and others all felt their livers and gallbladders tremble after hearing Zhang Su's voice, as if their bodies were automatically digging out hidden strength, trying to help them survive this last difficulty!

"Finally here, finally caught up, great."

On the fourth floor, Tan Huajun's tears wet her eye sockets.

Before she sent the message out, she quickly got a reply, but there were only four simple sounds: "Coming right away."

How long was "right away"? It was too vague. Tan Huajun didn't dare to think, and didn't inform everyone, so as not to let some people have expectations and start slacking off. Dying and then living was the premise of fighting for a glimmer of life.

Although she didn't fight hand-to-hand, just before the car hit the mall, she happened to run out of bullets. The number of zombies killed was unmatched. After hearing Zhang Su's shout, she gripped the vernier caliper that accompanied her and ran toward the safety passage.

Killing zombies, Tan Huajun was serious. She had a strong belief in her heart that she must not die here. She must live to go back. Her daughter needed her.

*Swish, swish! *

Two cold lights flashed, and two zombie heads flew up diagonally, just like pineapples thrown in *Fruit Ninja*, and two headless corpses fell to the ground...

Zhang Su held the dog-leg military knife tightly in his right hand, the sharp blade shining with light, and the simple but heavy rebar club in his left hand. He jumped off the truck, solved two zombies rushing to attack him head-on, and saw countless zombies in the light and dark, his heart feeling heavy.

It wasn't because there were too many enemies, but because it was hard to imagine how many brothers would die in this battle.

"Yang Xin, Liu Yao, you two take people to guard here. Don't worry about the fighting inside, but don't let any zombie rush in. Do you understand?"

Zhang Su pointed.

The situation on the road outside was not optimistic. The combatants in the mall didn't know, and there were hundreds of zombies queuing up to squeeze into the mall...

Their appearance directly cut off the entrance and exit to the Le-Go Mall, and even the glass curtain wall was smashed. The zombies wandering on the street wanted to rush in and needed to break through their defense line. At the same time, the zombies in the mall were attracted by the fresh food that had just arrived, and a large part of those wandering on the periphery of the encirclement turned and pounced on the new humans, performing "loving the new and loathing the old" very thoroughly.

"Yes, received!"

"Guarantee to complete the task!"

Liu Yao and Yang Xin didn't dare to have the slightest hesitation. The scene was chaotic and the task was arduous, but they had no room to retreat!

"Brothers, two in a group, offensive and defensive, I don't want to hear that any of you have been bitten!"

After a simple assignment of tasks, Zhang Su turned to look at the mall, turned his head to Zheng Xin and said: "Follow me, don't get lost!"

After saying that, he kicked his feet and stepped on a piece of exquisite glass, shattering it. He rushed out like an arrow, rushing toward the area where the zombies were most dense.

"Bo, Teacher Yu, hold on!"

Zheng Xin screamed. She knew that the companions left in the Le-Go Mall were not just Lu Yubo and Yu Wen, but in her rush, she could only think of the two people closest to her. Roaring, she waved her rebar club and followed Zhang Su to rush into the zombie group.

"Uncle, hold on, Brother Lu, protect my father-in-law!"

Zhang Su looked at the black mass surging in the distance, knowing that it was the trapped crowd. Killing intent surged in his heart, just like he had clearly finished work, but suddenly notified him to kill a basket of fish, and these crazy zombies in front of him were the fish tossing in the basket, with a fishy smell! On the side, Chen Hanzhou and Pang Dakun didn't have any words, gritted their teeth and rushed up. Both of them had quite good combat power, and at this moment, following the Yama King to kill forward, even if they encountered a Big Guy, they wouldn't be afraid, but this couldn't be said by Liu Yao... Qi Xiaoshuai turned his head, his partner was Tachibana Maiying, but in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared, which made his face dry.

A ghostly figure moved after Zhang Su issued the order. Tachibana Maiying chose a very tricky attack route. There were messy sundries and obstacles everywhere, but there were quite a few zombies, and the rugged path made her very comfortable, as if this was her main battlefield.

She didn't like to partner with people, like a dancer in the dark, destined to walk alone.

"Ya, speak!"

Wang Xin followed closely behind Zhang Su, his face full of anxiety, because the person he loved deeply was trapped in the mall, life or death unknown. With red eyes, he shouted loudly while stabbing zombies.

"I... ah, get out!"

Zhang Ya heard Wang Xin's shout. Her heart was excited, and tears instantly flowed down her cheeks mixed with sweat. But before she could respond, a zombie pounced on her side. She could only tighten her grip to deal with it.

"You damn thing, you have a different sex and no humanity, we are all alive... ah!"

Liu Tianji heard Zhang Ya wanting to reply. He took a gap and hurriedly responded, but a zombie flew up from the side and bit his palm. The cotton glove couldn't stop the zombie's sharp teeth at all, and blood splashed on the spot.

"Ah?!"

Lu Yubo's eyes were bloodshot. He was fighting with his body's potential, as if he wanted to squeeze out every cell. All his abilities were strengthened. He noticed Liu Tianji being bitten in an instant, stabbed the zombie that wouldn't let go with a *puff*, and then quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist.

He didn't give Liu Tianji time to speak at all. He grabbed the arm Liu Tianji was bitten with one hand, and then cut it toward the outside of the bulletproof vest sleeve with a *swish*, but unfortunately...

Although the dagger was sharp, the wrist bone wasn't that fragile, and Lu Yubo's force was a bit lacking, so it got stuck halfway.

"Ah ah..."

Liu Tianji knew what Lu Yubo was going to do, but looking at the tragic state of his wrist, he couldn't help but scream. It

"Screw it, go, go, screw it!"

After hacking four times in a row, the palm finally fell off. Lu Yu grinned, tossed the palm aside casually, and then pushed Liu Tianji into the crowd: "Stop the bleeding yourself!"

No matter how good Zhang Su's hearing was, he couldn't know what was happening with Liu Tianji. His brain had a limited speed for collecting information; it was impossible to take in all the noisy sounds inside the mall, let alone the fact that all his attention was currently focused on the battle.

White mist shrouded him, his footsteps were elusive, his arms flew, and the speed at which he strangled zombies was astonishing.

The first time he encountered reinforced zombies, he had felt very surprised because he hadn't adapted to their strength. After fighting the big brute, Zhang Su already had a relatively concrete understanding of the current zombies. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Of course, he knew his own strength. After figuring out the zombies' strengths and weaknesses, he was very clear about what method to use to fight!

The white mist provided Zhang Su with great help when facing many opponents. Within its range, he first screened out his teammates and only focused on the incoming zombies. Multitasking, his left hand used the rebar rod to strike and kill head-on, while his more powerful right arm opened up group-damage mode. His wrist was like iron and steel, his military saber swept across a large area, and any zombie that dared to reach out to him would not get off easily! Pitter-patter, squelch-squelch, swish...

Zhang Su breathed like a dragon, his cardiopulmonary capacity pushed to the maximum. It was freezing cold and his nose was a bit blocked, so he breathed through his mouth, which allowed for a larger intake. Fresh blood surged in his blood vessels, frantically transporting oxygen to every cell. His pores were all steaming; that was the heat generated by his body's machine running frantically.

Facing the black, dense swarm of corpses, and on the other side, the brothers urgently waiting for rescue, he fought without reservation!

What did it matter if they were ordinary zombies, or if they had received some reinforcement? At the current intensity, as long as Zhang Su's stamina allowed, he could kill, kill, and kill all the way!

Fortunately, his stamina was very abundant. His main energy bar was still at 82%. Once it dropped to a level where he felt it was hard to sustain, there were two backup energy bars below! The Le-Gou Mall had turned into an Asura hell, and the King of Hell belonged to this Asura hell.

Before, many people had guessed whether Zhang Su would die if he were surrounded by zombies when they saw him "fighting ten at once." Now, he had provided the answer!

Lu Yu and the others couldn't see it, but those standing on the second or third floor of the mall with good angles could see a spectacle: one man, dual-wielding, as exaggerated as a movie, his whole body moving back and forth as if suspended by wires, forcibly carving out a path two or three meters wide.

It wasn't just the rebar rod and the military saber; every part of his body could be used as a weapon temporarily: head, elbows, shoulders, back, knees... He was like a tunnel boring machine; the dirt wall formed by the zombies simply couldn't block his offensive.

"This is the strength of the King of Hell, my god..."

"Non, non-human, too strong, the King of Hell is too amazing!"

"Not just the King of Hell, they... are all so amazing. Over there, and over there, look at the people over there, such fast speed, I can't even see them clearly!"

"Hahaha, we are saved, long live the Yama Legion, long live the King of Hell!"

A burst of cheers erupted from the second and third floors. Many people knelt on the ground, hugging the sky and weeping with joy. Waiting for death to descend and watching hope slowly walk toward you were two complete extremes. The transformation from hell to heaven couldn't be described as just 'cool'; it was cool to the point of climax.

The people who were almost exhausted and besieged heard the cheers from upstairs, just like a shot of stimulant poured directly into their mouths. They weren't stupid; they knew very well what the cheering upstairs meant—the Yama Legion must be surging with fierce momentum!

A strong desire to survive erupted at this moment. They couldn't let themselves fall in the darkness before dawn, could they? "Ya! Hey, ho..."

It wasn't just from the direction of the main entrance; a figure killed their way out from the emergency exit.

Tan Huajun rushed down from upstairs. When she was on the third floor, she encountered two zombies. Because the door on the second floor was locked, they couldn't get in, so she went all the way up. After taking care of those two zombies, she encountered two more on the first floor.

It delayed her a little bit of time, but it didn't matter; it was just right for a warm-up.

Whoosh, whoosh...

The heavy sound of breaking wind made people's skin crawl; that was the unique movement of heavy weapons. A dancing, sturdy figure beheaded two zombies. Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of several zombies, who rushed toward her frantically.

Facing the attacking zombies, Tan Huajun's weapon wasn't the only thing that could kill them; her body, under the blessing of her heavy tonnage, also had a considerable impact on the zombies.

Tan Huajun met the zombies rushing at her head-on. In a collision with full force and no technique, the fat one wins. With her tonnage and long-term training, even if the zombies were reinforced, they were no match for her and were sent flying backward on the spot.

Using the momentum to swing, the giant vernier caliper, which had been reinforced several times, was no different from the Grim Reaper's scythe. The sharp and sturdy measuring claws were like they had eyes; basically, every strike could nail into the weak part of a zombie's skull. One-hit kills became a basic operation.

"Everyone come toward the emergency exit, hurry!"

After killing the four zombies inside the emergency exit and taking care of the four or five that had noticed her at the door, Tan Huajun felt a little more relaxed. She shouted loudly, trying to attract some of the zombies surrounding the crowd. Anyway, the stairwell was behind her; she could advance to attack and retreat to defend.

Tan Huajun's strategy couldn't be called useless, but the effect was relatively average. Only the ten or so zombies on the outermost edge that really couldn't squeeze into the inner circle turned and ran toward her, but even so, in her view, it was a pretty good result.

Seeing that some zombies had taken the bait, Tan Huajun immediately pulled half the door shut, leaving only a gap of more than half a meter, and retreated into the emergency exit, eyes gleaming as she waited for the zombies to deliver themselves to her!

Powerful combat strength is certainly important, but when paired with a sharp mind, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Before coming down, Tan Huajun had already thought of a countermeasure, and now it was easy to implement.

With the main combat force of the Yama Legion hacking and slashing wildly in front, and a female killing god rushing out from behind to help relieve the pressure, the pressure on the besieged people gradually decreased. The survivors held onto their last breath, determined not to let themselves fall in the last second before victory.
