Chapter 666

"Come, the three of you, help hold the gate in a moment! We must fully utilize the available resources to kill the zombies!"

Duan Wuhu ran to the main gate, having Fan Donglu, Pu Canyong, and Zhou Haiquan from the Dragon Head camp hold the large iron gate, then pointed to the house: "Little Lu, go to the back door and scout the situation on the small path. If we need to retreat, we'll know which way to go!"

"When the zombies charge the main gate, I'll open this small door to let them in, one by one. Captain Shen, and Old Yuan, you two coordinate with me to kill the zombies. Little Wu, listen carefully, we'll pile the zombie corpses at the door to act as a barrier, and you clear away the excess in time!"

"Got it!"

Wu Lue had already retrieved the drone and readily agreed upon hearing the arrangements. His combat power was basically at the bottom among these people, but he still had plenty of strength in his arms.

"Cold weapons?"

Shen Linrui asked, puzzled.

After several enhancements, the zombies had significantly improved in strength, speed, flexibility, and combat instinct. If it were before, it would have taken the zombies hitting the iron gate some time to discover the small door, but now, they didn't need to—they were lining up to squeeze in!

Shen Linrui did not resist Duan Wuhu's command. Once he agreed, the other Dragon Head camp members naturally moved as well. Except for Wu Lue, who was still packing things, everyone else was in position.

"I'm going to open the door, get ready!"

Everyone had limited ammunition. The threat of a hundred-plus zombies wasn't huge, so it was better to save bullets unless absolutely necessary.

At this moment, Lu Yubo also rushed over, reported the situation to everyone, drew his grain sampler with a clang, and joined the combat team, while also glancing at Zhao Dezhu and the mysterious person at the base of the wall.

After a burst of output, the four zombies that had fallen to the ground had no chance to fight back and died on the spot.

Duan Wuhu couldn't afford to dawdle. As more and more zombies swarmed toward the main gate, the pressure on the three holding the gate increased. Fortunately, there was a downward slope outside the gate, otherwise, the three wouldn't have been able to hold it. They had to "open the floodgates to relieve pressure" immediately. Creak, creak, bang!

"Okay, opening the door, three, two, hey!"

Not to mention a buffer, if it weren't for Lu Yubo's rich combat experience and Zhou Haiquan's assistance from the side, there would have already been a disaster!

Duan Wuhu found a gap and shouted loudly toward the base of the wall. He didn't call Zhao Dezhu directly because if the mysterious person didn't come to help, Zhao Dezhu had to watch him...

"Understood!"

Duan Wuhu watched the zombies fall in front of him, his heart pounding.

The large iron gate welded by the rural family was made of solid material. The zombies' pounding was like beating an old drum, even louder than a rooster's crowing, shaking the people inside until they winced, especially the three holding the gate, whose hearts were racing and ribs were shaking violently.

Duan Wuhu had a decent foundation, and after the initial engagement, he gradually found his rhythm. But wanting to reach Lu Yubo's level in a short time was pure wishful thinking. Being able to fight steadily without falling into a crisis was already commendable; he could only be said to be barely resisting!

Duan Wuhu pulled the bolt of the small door!

"Thanks!"

But there was one little thing that wasn't working: Lightning! The furry Lightning was hiding under a large, overturned black pot, watching the outside through the gap at the bottom. It felt a faint sense of unease in its heart, but it didn't know where this unease came from.

"Friend, come help, the fellow villagers are too fierce!"

Under the crazy impact of the zombies, the pressure on the few people inside increased sharply.

At the same time, Lu Yubo, who was killing zombies the fastest, reached out with his grain sampler and cleanly finished off the zombie lunging at Duan Wuhu.

Zhou Haiquan, Pu Canyong, and the burly Fan Donglu found a few wooden strips to brace the iron gate, while using their shoulders and one arm to carry a hollow steel pipe acting as a crossbeam, their faces very tense.

"The small path behind is a bit messy, but it's fine for people to run!"

Everyone ignored Lightning's existence...

Facts proved that his plan wasn't perfect, because the battle he envisioned was "turn-based." After killing the first wave of zombies that rushed in, there should have been a buffer to use the corpses as a barrier, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

As for the Yama Legion, there was no need to mention it. After Lu Yubo practiced the Ju-style martial arts, his strength had significantly improved, his stabs were more precise, and his force was greater. Duan Wuhu, the "brain" who rushed to the mountains and seas, had actually become the weakest of the four. He usually exercised at the camp, but he had too little actual combat experience, basically staying at the level of when he was in the Survivor Alliance months ago. The only time he had encountered this level of enhanced zombie was when he drove a car into one.

The mysterious person had just reached out to take the cigarette when the zombies rushed to the iron gate, making a series of impact sounds. The overall force was okay, and the three holding the gate didn't show any signs of difficulty.

"Ah, sigh..."

Awoo, awoo! The zombies had clearly sensed the presence of fresh food, their howls filled with urgency and desire, getting closer and closer.

Wu Lue didn't watch from the sidelines. Seeing the situation was urgent, he quickly crouched down and dragged the zombie corpses to the back. Although he couldn't pile them into a barrier, at least they wouldn't trip his own people and affect their performance.

Tap, tap, tap...

Suddenly, the mysterious person squatting at the base of the wall let out a distorted cry, looking very conflicted and painful.

Zhao Dezhu used Duan Wuhu's tone to soothe the mysterious person, while handing over a cigarette.

Bang, bang, bang...

The zombies' pushing made the bolt very tight, and it took a lot of force to turn and pull it...

Zhao Dezhu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately joined the battle, but most of his attention was still on the mysterious person, afraid that he would suddenly do something reckless.

"Kill, do it!"

Shen Linrui could be a captain, even if it was a reconnaissance team, he wasn't an ordinary person. The Tang sword in his hand was extremely sharp, and the zombies had little resistance against his slashes. The fortune teller Yuan Huotu was from a farming background, had plenty of strength, and his weapon was a long-handled hammer. The hammerhead was only the size of a flower bud, looking delicate, but it was quite powerful when smashing zombies.

"Come on!"

Awoo, awoo! With a whoosh, the small door was knocked open. In the narrow space that could normally only accommodate one person, four zombies squeezed in at the same time.

None of the people could achieve a one-hit kill. Even Lu Yubo, who was using the grain sampler, couldn't guarantee that every strike would hit a zombie's vital point. His efficiency was the highest among them, but except for the first two zombies, he needed at least three to four strikes to kill one zombie afterward! Next was Shen Linrui, whose offense and defense were methodical, fighting very steadily and with a certain aesthetic, but his killing speed was much slower than Lu Yubo's. Basically, by the time Lu Yubo killed two, he had just finished off one.

"Right, use cold weapons first!"

"Friend, it's okay, it's okay. Come, smoke a cigarette to ease your mind. Sending them on their way is accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. When you achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, don't be sad."

Yuan Huotu's weapon looked very rustic and fierce, and his movements were also very simple smashing strikes, but his killing speed was actually not slower than Shen Linrui's, only a beat slower in connecting and dealing with emergencies.

"Ah, uh..."

Awoo, awoo! Under the flashlight's beam, the clawing and biting zombies looked extremely ferocious, their double rows of sharp white fangs reflecting a cold luster. As long as they "kissed" you once, you would die right there. Their arms waving were shadowy, their lethality not as good as their teeth, but not to be underestimated either.

Shen Linrui gripped his weapon tightly, a simple and unadorned Tang sword. It had no flashy design, the blade revealing a sharp luster, and the hilt was wrapped in cloth strips.

Pfft, pfft, squelch, thud, hiss...

Duan Wuhu responded straightforwardly, then added: "Check your ammunition. If you can't hold on, retreat into the house and use your guns, but try not to shoot!"

In any case, the four zombies were quickly finished off, but if they only cared about the four zombies on the ground, someone would inevitably suffer! Following the four zombies, two more squeezed in through the small door. There was almost only a four or five-second time difference. Zhou Haiquan, who was holding the gate, sensed the crisis, freed a hand to wave his steel spear and stab the incoming zombies, helping to resolve half the danger.

The mysterious person didn't struggle or hesitate this time. He grabbed the steel spear on the ground, let out a sorrowful wail, and rushed toward the main gate.

Bang, bang, rumble.

The mysterious person didn't do what Zhao Dezhu had thought. The steel spear in his hand danced very cleanly as he greeted the zombies—parrying, stabbing, slashing, smashing, whipping up gusts of wind. His offensive was very sharp, not weaker than anyone else's! But he still didn't kill the zombies, still only taking control measures, constantly tripping the zombies in front of him to the ground, creating opportunities for others to kill.

Logically speaking, even if the mysterious person didn't kill the zombies, after Zhao Dezhu joined the battle, the pressure should have been relieved to some extent, but the killing speed still couldn't keep up with the speed at which the zombies filled the gaps!

By coincidence, the zombies that were originally crowding and squeezing into the small door suddenly cleared up...

From crowded to orderly, the zombies outside the gate swarmed into the courtyard rapidly... The few people inside could only fight and retreat, trading space for time.
