Chapter 667

"Brothers holding the gate, come together, quick!"

Duan Wuhu shouted loudly to those holding the gate.

During the battle, he silently counted in his heart. In round after round of fighting, the number of fallen zombies was already close to sixty. Even if it wasn't half, it was close. Finally, these zombies were rushing into the courtyard in an orderly fashion, and the main gate was under no pressure anymore. If they held on for this last wave, victory was in sight.

If they couldn't hold on, then they would fight while retreating. If it really didn't work, they could use thermal weapons to handle it in the end. In short, the word now was: steady!

They must not make any mistakes at the last moment. Resolving the crisis and ensuring safety was the foundation!

Zhou Haiquan, the oldest in the Dragon Head camp, had been helping from the side. While holding the iron gate, he assisted Fan Donglu. After hearing Duan Wuhu's words, Pu Canyong also joined the battle.

Lu Yubo and Zhao Dezhu couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in their hearts. Whether it was daily training or real-life combat, their level in the Yama Legion was in the first tier, second only to the tier-zero Zhang Su and Ju Wuying.

But it was this shallow step that had an insurmountable chasm! When they fought with Zhang Su before, the two felt very relaxed, and the battle went smoothly, but today's battle felt faintly like they were lacking the strength to do what they wanted!

It wasn't hard to find that the previous smoothness was built on the fact that Zhang Su shouldered most of the pressure, as if radiating an aura from within his body that blessed everyone around him. When the aura was turned off, the buff was gone, and the pressure came rushing in!

Strange to say, Zhou Haiquan and Pu Canyong's combat power was very average, but after they joined the battle, the overall rhythm immediately became much looser!

Pfft, pfft, squelch...

Zombies dropped dead one after another, and the killing efficiency significantly improved. Many zombies died in ways that hadn't appeared before, as if they had been shot—their heads would twitch, and then they would go limp and collapse.

"No... it's Lightning!"

Shen Linrui suddenly shouted, his heart shocked. He had almost never seen Lightning kill a zombie.

"Holy crap, this little thing can kill zombies!"

Lu Yubo also noticed it after hearing the shout.

A furry ball was weaving between the zombies, moving extremely fast. After sticking to a zombie's face, its claws would dig rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it would drill into the eye socket or throat. Before it even came out, the zombie would tremble as if shot and then collapse like mud.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

"Ow, you motherf..."

Lightning heard Lu Yubo's impolite address. In a flash, it slammed into his forehead. Suddenly attacked, his head tilted high, almost twisting his neck.

"Haha, good, little Lightning, awesome!" Duan Wuhu saw Lu Yubo suffer and, knowing Lightning loved to hear good things, hurriedly praised it.

The little guy clearly had no expression on its face, but it distinctly showed a feeling of fear. It didn't dare to open its eyes, but it had to leave a slit to observe the situation, baring its teeth and distorting its features.

Although it was afraid in its heart, Lightning's speed in killing zombies was on par with Lu Yubo's. In fact, it was the safest; the zombies' speed was a joke in front of it, and it wasn't afraid of being attacked by zombies at all. Moreover, during the battle, it wouldn't affect anyone around it, completing the kills silently.

With the significant improvement in killing speed, Wu Lue couldn't keep up at all. Seeing this, Pu Canyong and Zhou Haiquan from the Dragon Head camp simply joined the team moving the zombie corpses, because the two of them shamefully discovered that one Lightning was stronger than both of them combined...

With Lightning's addition, the battle quickly neared its end, and in the end, the front line was pushed outside the gate! "Squeak!"

Pfft, thud, pfft, pfft...

Outside the iron gate, the last zombie was killed by Lightning, and after falling to the ground, it rolled down the slope. "Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

"Haha, hoo, hoo..."

The battle ended, and heavy panting rose and fell, mixed with some excited laughter. It wasn't as exaggerated as surviving a disaster, but it was still overcoming a difficulty.

Lightning landed on the ground and immediately began to clean its fur and claws, being very clean.

The entire combat process actually wasn't long. Counting from the moment Duan Wuhu opened the small door to Lightning killing the last zombie, it took no more than five or six minutes in total, but in everyone's perception, it felt as long as half a day!

Suddenly, Lightning, who was burying its head in cleaning itself, stiffened. With a swish, it darted onto Shen Linrui's head, its eyes, the size of black beans, looking toward the Yunlong Valley direction, shining with strange colors. Its whiskers moved, and its two hind paws were still stained with mucus...

"Ah!!!"

Just as everyone was panting, the mysterious person suddenly let out a sorrowful roar with a crying tone.

This shout scared everyone around. In this world, who would dare to shout loudly outside? Especially Lightning, whose reaction was the greatest. It was already a bit nervous, and upon hearing the shout, it lifted Shen Linrui's hat and dove in with a roll...

"It's okay, it's okay, you were very brave tonight!" Shen Linrui patted his hat, comforting Lightning while saying: "Just now, the chicken crowing and the door pounding didn't attract any zombies. This area should be clean now."

The ordinary zombies nearby had been cleared out. There were no big guys, but a strange zombie had been paying attention to the battle in the village! On the hillside of Yunlong Valley, the weak zombie seemed to possess extraordinary vision. After a strange exercise session ended and it recovered a little strength, it continued to sit on the cliff, blankly staring at the village. Until the battle ended, it didn't show any intention of moving.

Until it heard the sorrowful shout, it stood up, swayed, and tentatively tried to jump off the cliff!

What it cared about wasn't the battle between humans and zombies, but the humans themselves. Those fresh foods were delicious and could probably be good items to heal its weakness! Standing on the edge of the cliff and hesitating for a while, the tall zombie ultimately didn't jump down, seemingly having some scruples, or perhaps lacking confidence. It sat down against a tree trunk that had been bent by the shockwave, staring with its vertical eyes, gazing at Red Ditch Village, continuing to recover its weak body.

"Friend... it's all over."

Duan Wuhu placed his hand on the mysterious person's shoulder, sincerely soothing him.

"Yeah, friend, you helped the fellow villagers find relief, that's a great merit. It's all over, cheer up!"

Zhou Haiquan's age was closest to the mysterious person's, and he was also a man who had lived in the countryside, so he could empathize more and also spoke up to comfort him.

The mysterious person had kept his friends and family trapped in the village, living a life away from the world. Even the shockwave of the explosion hadn't caused much impact, but the arrival of the two teams had broken all of this.

It was indeed a thorough eradication of the zombie threat, but for the mysterious person, whether it was right or wrong, good or bad, was hard to say.

"It's over, it's over..."

The mysterious person quieted down, repeating with teary eyes. Then, his hand loosened, and the steel spear hit the ground with a clatter, rolling down the slope with a clatter.

Thud.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the mysterious person lay on his back, spreading out in a "big" shape on the ground: "It's all over, it's over... wuwu, wuwuwu ah!"

Muttering the same words over and over, he finally burst into tears! This left the people from the Yama Legion and the Dragon Head camp stunned.

Lightning also seemed interested in the excitement outside, lifting the hat to look. Seeing a person lying on the ground crying loudly, it felt a bit puzzled. Finally, its gaze fell toward the Yunlong Valley direction, and it let out a squeak before hiding back into the hat. There was something over there that made it wary and afraid.
