BC Chapter 86

Chapter 85

The area near the research institute is relatively open, with wide streets and little traffic. There aren’t many buildings around, just a few large company factories and low-rise buildings for employees, so you rarely see ordinary people walking on the streets.

However, there’s a bus stop near the intersection, which is a common gathering place for scattered pedestrians. When the chaos broke out, a bus malfunctioned, and the brakes failed, causing it to crash directly into the bus shelter next to it, trapping everyone on board. Later, a zombie, appearing from who knows where, showed up nearby and bit most of the unsuspecting people. Although the survivors managed to subdue the crazed “person” who had lost consciousness, the others who had been bitten mutated and began attacking the remaining healthy survivors.

Thus, a car accident turned all the passengers into zombies, wandering the streets and outside the factories. A week later, two agile super-speed zombies evolved within the zombie horde.

…

After the loud noise, the zombies still wandering aimlessly in the streets all rushed towards the direction of the research institute, with the fastest and most prominent ones being the swift super-speed zombies.

Here, He Linglong originally planned to use the cover of the trees on the roadside to slowly avoid the zombies’ sight and escape after throwing the grenade, but she didn’t expect the speed at which the scattered zombies on the edge of the city converged to be so fast.

She hadn’t run far when she vaguely sensed that she was about to be surrounded by zombies.

She took off the gas mask she was wearing and threw it aside, finally feeling the flowing breeze blowing outside, with a slight summer heat, warm and soft. If it were a normal afternoon, this weather would make people want to lie in a rocking chair, bask in the sun, and feel the warmth brought by the approaching summer sunshine.

But the reality was that, before long, she smelled the fishy stench carried in the wind from the decaying zombie bodies.

Stretching out her arm to wipe the sweat from her face, she found her baseball cap again, put it on, pulled up the face covering hanging around her neck, and cautiously held the rifle slung behind her back in her hands. Of course, she couldn’t fire the gun casually, or it would only attract more zombies to besiege her, so she was only holding it in her hand to deal with sudden emergencies.

But as she went further, the zombies gathered in front became denser and denser. If He Linglong didn’t find a way to escape, she would soon lose her life due to the zombies’ layered swarming tactics. But both sides of the road were green belts, and even if she climbed over the railings by the road and ran over, it would still be an exposed and inescapable situation.

Just then, sporadic gunshots suddenly rang out from the outer perimeter of the zombie horde. He Linglong, who was still worrying about her survival in the zombie encirclement, perked up. It seemed that her luck hadn’t run out yet. Even if the people appearing on the outer perimeter weren’t her support, her pressure would obviously be greatly reduced with the other party attracting the attention of most of the zombies by firing their guns, so she would have a chance to break out of the zombie encirclement by firing her gun.

…

Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan sped up towards the research institute after hearing the loud noise.

But the impact of the loud noise was too great, attracting many wandering zombies. They all rushed towards the direction where the sound came from. Collisions and tugs occurred during this process, which led to more zombies blocking the wheels of the two people’s vehicle. They not only wanted to attack Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan, but also fought with each other, and the situation on the street was becoming more and more chaotic.

Fortunately, the two had already arrived at the outer city streets very close to the research institute. After turning three intersections, the avenue leading to the research institute appeared in front of them.

Seeing that the zombies in front were also gathering in that direction, the two, driving over, began to deal with the zombies in front of them without thinking. Because seeing these zombies being so active, there must be bait in front attracting them to hunt, that is, living people.

Zhou Yuanyuan, who immediately thought of Lu Ziming, naturally couldn’t let the zombies in front of her hurt Lu Ziming, so she decisively fired her gun repeatedly, intending to stop the zombies from moving forward.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, many of the zombies that were originally going to gather in the direction of the research institute were indeed attracted by the sound and turned to run towards Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan.

Zombies usually don’t turn when they run fast, so even Zhou Yuanyuan, whose marksmanship was very poor, could effectively kill some zombies rushing straight towards the two. And the remaining ones had to rely on Jiang Juncheng’s superb driving skills to dodge.

The two had already slowly trained some perfect cooperation skills on the way here, which came in handy at this moment. The recoil of the pistol was indeed not small, but Zhou Yuanyuan’s physical fitness after being infected with the virus was no longer what it used to be, so after firing many shots, only her palms and arms were numb.

Because she was worried about Lu Ziming’s safety, Zhou Yuanyuan, who had been saving bullets just now, was now outputting them crazily as if they were free.

But it was indeed thanks to the two of them that He Linglong was completely unharmed with the help of her skills and the rifle and pistol in her hand.

Soon, He Linglong and Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan successfully met after breaking through the zombie encirclement.

“N-Not Lu Ziming.” Zhou Yuanyuan, who was leaning on Jiang Juncheng’s shoulder and looking at the person in front of her, muttered in surprise.

He Linglong was also stunned. She never expected that the people who were causing chaos on the outer perimeter of the zombie circle and saving her life were actually two ordinary people… or two girls.

“You two, stop spacing out! Get in the car quickly!” Seeing that the two were actually staring at each other in a daze at this moment, Jiang Juncheng couldn’t help but shout anxiously, the latter sentence being specifically addressed to He Linglong, who was wearing a face covering.

In an emergency, He Linglong didn’t have time to think about anything else at this moment, so she could only follow her words, straddle her long legs, and sit behind Zhou Yuanyuan.

“Sit tight! Hold on tight!! Get rid of all the obstacles in the way, damn it!!” Jiang Juncheng bit her silver teeth and said with a solemn expression.

As soon as she finished speaking, the car turned a corner. Jiang Juncheng, who was riding the car in front, stretched out her long legs and kicked a zombie that pounced on her, the car borrowed the force to turn the car’s head and sped away.

Jiang Juncheng’s car can actually only seat two adults normally, but the three women at this time were all on the skinny side, so it really squeezed in. Of course, Zhou Yuanyuan and He Linglong behind her knew that the overloaded car could not withstand the zombies’ pounce at this time, so they didn’t want to save any bullets at all. As the car moved forward, the zombies in front of and beside the road gradually fell under the sound of their guns.

Finally, the three of them managed to escape the siege of the large group of zombies without any danger.
