    Chapter 63: Ambush

    Lin Yi looked at the zombies wandering around the residential area with a complicated expression, “Do we really have to go in from here?”

    Liu Ping: “Why do you think the place where the granary is located is called the commercial center area and not the suburban storage area?”

    Damn it! Would he need to be told if there was a place with fewer zombies? Who would think they’ve lived too long?

    Going straight through this residential area for a few steps leads to the location of the granary. Of course, there are more than one other route with fewer zombies than this one, but the distance is much longer. The farther the distance, the longer the time required, and the easier it is to be exposed and attract an attack.

    The previous teams who came here weren’t stupid. This route was chosen because it was the best after comprehensive consideration. Compared to lengthening the time, testing the psychology, and pressuring the nerves, it’s better to go through here in one go.

    At this time, as long as there isn’t a very big commotion, zombies a little further away won’t be easily disturbed. Even if you accidentally bump into a few zombies and get attacked, you can quietly deal with them.

    Lin Yi was speechless from being refuted and silently followed at the back. It wasn’t that he wanted to be this marginalized person bringing up the rear, it was Xu Yuze who arranged it.

    There were only two ability users in the team. Xu Yuze himself walked at the very front to lead the way, so he was naturally arranged at the back. He couldn’t say anything either.

    The group carefully and quietly avoided the zombies. Every time Xu Yuze got closer, his eyes darkened a little and his thoughts intensified. The increasingly clear energy fluctuations were confirming his guess.

    Primary zombies consciously hunt ability users. Although their sensitivity is reduced at this time, it’s difficult not to be perceived if they continue to get closer.

    They can’t go any further. There are two of them not far ahead. So many people colliding head-on will inevitably cause a lot of commotion.

    Xu Yuze signaled the others behind him to stop, “You guys wait here, I’ll go ahead and scout the way first. Don’t act rashly, wait for me to come back before we talk.”

    “Okay, captain.”

    They moved to the side and squatted down in a hidden greenbelt, intending to obediently wait here for Xu Yuze to return.

    Xu Yuze didn’t know that as soon as he left to solve the two zombies in front, another zombie from another direction discovered their tracks and was rushing towards them.

    Lin Yi squeezed in among them and whispered, “Are you just letting him go like that? What if he abandons us?”

    Liu Ping didn’t panic at all, “You don’t understand Captain Xu. He’s the one with the best reputation among these ability user leaders. He always does what he says and won’t abandon his teammates.”

    The others chimed in:

    “Yeah, you don’t know how much better Captain Xu is compared to others!”

    “That’s right, that’s right, it’s our luck to be chosen by him to be in his team.”

    It seems Xu Yuze is really popular!

    The group, who were discussing in lowered voices, didn’t notice a zombie quietly approaching them. It suddenly jumped out of the flower bushes and pounced on Lin Yi.

    Hearing the rustling of the flowers, the person in front of Lin Yi turned on his flashlight. A bumpy, pitted, blood-pus filled ghostly face entered his vision. He was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn’t speak.

    Lin Yi, with his back to the zombie, saw the terrified, widened eyes of the companion in front of him. A gust of wind hit him. He quickly rolled to the side, luckily dodging quickly.

    The zombie, which wanted to grab his shoulder and bite his neck, was about to touch his shoulder with its hands when it was dodged. Lin Yi’s body, which flashed to the right, happened to bump into the zombie’s claws grabbing his shoulder, and four claw marks were scratched on his neck.

    The person next to Liu Ping was so frightened that he was about to scream, but he quickly covered his mouth and dragged him to the side. The group scattered in a panic, running for their lives.

    Obviously, many other people didn’t react as quickly as Lin Yi. The person who was frightened just now hadn’t even recovered and was standing stiffly next to the zombie’s mouth. The zombie didn’t even look at him and attacked Lin Yi directly.

    Zhang Xiong, seeing the zombie chasing Lin Yi running far away, finally felt his heart start to beat again. He lowered the flashlight he was holding high and began to breathe deeply. He finally survived.

    At that moment, his brain was blank, his breathing stopped, and his whole body was stiff and uncontrollable. He wanted to run, but his feet felt like they were broken and he couldn’t feel them. Who understands the feeling of facing death and finally surviving!

    After running far away and creating some distance, Lin Yi reacted and immediately activated his ability to counterattack. Damn it, why is it always like this? Is he some cheap person? It always targets him alone to the death!

    He should blame himself for asking what he shouldn’t have asked and asking a lot of things he shouldn’t have. If he had taken the time to learn more about the zombies in advance, he would know that he wasn’t some “chosen lucky one,” but that zombies just like ability users. He’s the only one here, who else would they attack if not him?

    The sky wasn’t bright yet, and he was at a disadvantage in the blurry darkness. He avoided the zombie and ran to a place in the residential area where the solar street lights could shine.

    Lin Yi, who was fighting seriously with spirit, still had some skill. It’s just that he didn’t know how to use his earth ability to kill this zombie.

    Turn a huge clod of earth to crush it into pieces? His ability hadn’t reached the point where he could create something big enough to crush a primary zombie.

    Dig a hole and bury it? Damn it, it would dig itself out in less than two seconds.

    Tools! Right, where’s his big iron hammer? He’ll smash the zombie’s head flat.

    In the chaos just now, he forgot about the iron hammer and left it where they were resting.

    He was being forced by the zombie step by step and couldn’t free his hand to take it. He wanted to shout for someone to help, and while constantly outputting his ability to block the zombie’s attack, he was distracted to look for someone.

    Where were there any people, except for two flashlights dropped on the ground? Ha! He should really thank them for leaving two flashlights for him to light the way!

    It’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Lin Yi slowly moved back to where they had just rested, risking being scratched and throwing up an earth wall to block the attack, then took the opportunity to bend down and pick up the iron hammer.

    As expected, before he had time to turn around and give the zombie a hammer, it grabbed his back with its sharp claws that pierced through the earth wall. Lin Yi endured the tearing pain and forcibly turned around, smashing the hammer on the zombie’s hand.

    The hand, resting on the earth wall, bent downwards at a ninety-degree angle. It didn’t affect the zombie’s movement. With the sound of bones twisting, the hand twisted and immediately lifted again. The zombie rushed towards Lin Yi through the wall.

    Lin Yi waved the iron hammer and retreated rapidly. His ability was almost exhausted. He had to give it his all, ensuring a hit that would kill, otherwise he would become the zombie’s meal today.

    Lin Yi slapped the ground with his palm, and his ability surged towards the zombie’s feet. The zombie’s body immediately sank in halfway and was trapped. There was no way, Lin Yi originally wanted to only leave its head exposed for him to smash, but he didn’t have enough energy.

    There was no time to hesitate. Lin Yi rushed forward and swung the hammer at the zombie’s head. The zombie, whose upper body could still move freely, of course wouldn’t let him succeed. It bent backwards to avoid the blow, then quickly bounced up and bit Lin Yi’s neck, just above the shoulder.

    This time, Lin Yi didn’t break free immediately. Taking advantage of the zombie’s pause to suck blood while biting his neck, he swung the iron hammer in his hand heavily on the zombie’s head.

    Brain matter splattered, and clotted black blood, bone fragments, and viscous liquid gradually covered most of Lin Yi’s face. He couldn’t feel disgusted at this moment.

    He only numbly kept swinging the hammer in his hand at the head on his right shoulder.
