TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Unexpected Attack

The wind howled more tightly, surrounding the car like a shadow both in front and behind. Even though they didn’t think they were facing high-level zombies, it still made people uneasy.

The car sped faster, the dense forest growing thicker. Gu Tangyue tightly gripped Gu Tangxi’s hand, her palm clammy with cold sweat. Gu Tangxi squeezed Gu Tangyue’s nervously sweating hand in return, knowing in her heart that this situation might not be simple. Still, she reached out her other hand to pat their joined hands, comforting Gu Tangyue, “It’s okay, don’t panic too much. Our team may not have many people, but our strength isn’t weak. We can always turn danger into safety.”

Gu Tangyue knew that their team was not weak. In fact, apart from the regular army or large family forces, it was possible that they couldn’t find a stronger independent small team in the Mòshì. Moreover, she had always been the team’s priority protection target. Even though she was the weakest, she had suffered very few injuries.

Perhaps it was precisely because she was the weakest and hadn’t suffered any serious injuries that she was so easily flustered. She clenched her other hand, which was hidden on the other side, and tried to relax the hand that Gu Tangxi was tightly holding, replying in a relaxed tone, “Yeah, I believe in you guys. We can do it.”

Xie YunChuan frowned slightly, sensing the dense energy fluctuations not far ahead. Half were Level Two, half were Level Three. Strange, why would so many zombies appear in this desolate and uninhabited place? And their levels weren’t low either. He could currently sense hundreds of Level Two and Level Three zombies. It was difficult to estimate whether there was a higher-level leader zombie hiding among them.

Was there nothing here? What did they eat to evolve so quickly, cannibalism, survival of the fittest? Could it be that there was a mysterious village not recorded on the map, and the original population was not low?

Now he could be sure that the complex wind sounds they had encountered along the way were definitely not just from one Level Three zombie. It turned out those were just scouts, and the main force was waiting for them here. It seemed that not only had their levels evolved quickly, but their intelligence seemed to have recovered well too. They were a bit tricky.

It was too late to retreat now. He could only kill gods if they blocked, and kill Buddhas if they blocked, and press forward without hesitation.

“Attention ahead, there are probably around a hundred Level Two and Level Three zombies, levels split half and half.” Xie YunChuan looked at Gu Tangxi and said, “If the car is forced to stop later, I will take care of Gu Tangyue. You and Xu Yuzhe just need to take care of yourselves. Be careful to guard against sneak attacks from high-level zombies. I’m not sure if there are any high-level zombies hiding among them.”

It wasn’t that if they hadn’t discovered them, they weren’t there. It was also possible that they couldn’t discover them.

Hearing this, Gu Tangxi and Xu Yuzhe, who were already uneasy, became even more anxious. Their expressions grew more serious. They also sensed a lot of energy fluctuations ahead, but they couldn’t understand them as clearly as Xie YunChuan did.

Gu Tangyue, on the other hand, suddenly unloaded her heavy mood. She had to admit that the moment she heard Xie YunChuan say he would personally protect her, she was happy and relieved, even a little secretly excited. Perhaps she herself hadn’t realized these little thoughts in her heart.

The sky gradually darkened. As the temperature dropped, the cold wind howled more fiercely, reducing the short, swirling winds caused by the zombies earlier. Were they holding back, waiting for Xie YunChuan and the others to drive in so they could wipe them out in one fell swoop?

“Try to stay close behind me, don’t spread out too much.” He couldn’t be everywhere at once. If they were too far apart, Xie YunChuan wouldn’t be able to save them even if he wanted to.

Xie YunChuan in the passenger seat stared unblinkingly ahead. Gu Tangxi in the back seat tightly protected Gu Tangyue, sitting in the center, constantly watching the left and right windows. Xu Yuzhe, in the driver’s seat, gripped the steering wheel tighter and tighter. Xie YunChuan was guarding the front and right, so he only needed to prevent zombies from climbing onto the left window and pulling him out.

Fortunately, before they separated, Xie YunChuan had Shen Ye, the Level Four metal ability user, modify several vehicles with reinforced defenses for them. Now, this car shouldn’t be breached without even giving them time to react. Otherwise, they would really get their heads blown off while driving.

“Why aren’t they attacking yet?” Seeing that they were about to drive past, Xu Yuzhe felt his breathing become heavier and his heartbeat accelerate more and more clearly. There was no relaxation or rejoicing at the thought of escaping danger, only unknown panic and vigilance. There was no way for a lamb to safely withdraw from a tiger’s mouth without losing a layer of skin. This blade hanging over their heads, not falling for a long time, was no different from the process of being slowly sliced to death. On the other hand, Xie YunChuan maintained his composure at all times, showing no sign of panic.

“Here they come.” Xie YunChuan said, “Keep driving, don’t stop.”

“Ah! Oh.” Xu Yuzhe was startled by the black dots pressing down from the front, and his hand shook. The car swerved and then straightened again. The car kept moving forward, and the zombies were moving quickly towards the car. In less than two seconds, they were almost right in front of them. In Xu Yuzhe’s widened eyes, the continuously enlarging black dots were scattered by countless flying leaves.

These zombies seemed to all have speed as their talent. The dense green leaf blades that flashed past only hit a few that were unable to dodge. Although it didn’t kill many zombies, it did clear the road ahead. Xu Yuzhe steadied his mind and continued to move forward at full speed.

Seeing that attacking from the front wasn’t working, the zombies changed to attacking the flanks. Xu Yuzhe watched the situation on his left while driving, only to find that every time a zombie rushed over, it would barely pop its head out before being killed or blocked by ice cones, flying leaves, vines, etc. It turned out that Xie YunChuan was not only looking after his front and the right window, but also the entire car body.

“These are all Level Two, what about the Level Three?” If all the zombies attacking them now weren’t Level Two, Xu Yuzhe wouldn’t even be able to see a black dot before being instantly approached and attacked by the zombies.

Most of the zombies were blocked by Xie YunChuan. Gu Tangxi was only responsible for dealing with a few stragglers who climbed onto the car windows. “It seems, these zombies are just more agile, their attack power isn’t stronger than other zombies of the same level.”

In this way, although it was difficult for Gu Tangxi to hit other scurrying zombies, she could easily kill the zombies that were clinging to the car trying to break in.

Precisely because they were agile and Xie YunChuan’s movements were restricted in the car, many zombies were only blocked and not killed. Xie YunChuan didn’t want to make a big move to kill these small fries. Obviously, the real contest was yet to come.

Distracted and disoriented by the entanglement, Xu Yuzhe didn’t pay much attention to the road ahead. The car struggled to move forward erratically on the road. Suddenly, the originally dark environment suddenly lit up. The front was open and empty, like a cliff. When Xu Yuzhe came to his senses and saw it, the wheels of the car, moving at full speed, were only a few meters away from a hundred-zhang cliff. Xu Yuzhe braked urgently, but it was too late. The car still rushed straight towards the cliff.

In an instant, the car was suspended in the air, people were thrown about, and everyone in the car’s heart stopped. A breath hung in their chests as they held their breath and waited.
