78: Chapter 45: Perfect Conclusion (Part 1)
The exemption time was about to end, and the sky had darkened completely.
Fortunately, the power system of the rest area had not been damaged, and the lights were still bright.
After taking a three-minute shower and washing off the blood and flesh from his body, Tang Zheng was now lying on a slope not far from the gas station.
He was using a bus as cover and observing the zombie bus with a telescope.
Although the view was not very clear, he could roughly estimate their numbers, at least over three hundred, all of them being hunter zombies and tank zombies.
Not even a single ordinary one was mixed in.
It appeared that those four mutated creatures had also gained a lot in the past six hours, recruiting a bunch of powerful new underlings.
The bikini zombie stood out among the crowd, obviously the commander of these zombies.
Two zombies dressed in low-cut backless evening gowns guarded the nurse zombie, maintaining a vigilant guard.
Still, they spent most of their time looking in the direction of the rest area, unmistakably aware that it was a hiding place for the prey, just waiting for the exemption time to finish, and then would swarm and attack.
“What special ability does that nurse zombie have?” Tang Zheng was curious, but he had no time to gather information.
Thinking of this, he remembered the practicality of the exemption card.
It had many defects.
Other people seemed to be free from attacks if they stayed around the user.
Moreover, if the user relentlessly tried to attack the zombies while being protected by the exemption, then the exemption effect would be lost.
Overall, it was very troublesome.
Survivors had to explore various rules on their own.
However, if they weren’t careful, the price paid would be in lives.
Recalling the deaths of Baldy and Zhao Jingye, Tang Zheng sighed.
If they had chosen the protective clothing, they could have escaped from this calamity.
“Tang Zheng, the time has come, have the zombies started to attack?” Qin Yan’s voice came over the walkie-talkie, “We are already prepared.
If it’s not possible, Tang Zheng, you have to run over here in no time.”
“I know, okay, I need to take action now.” Noticing that the bikini zombie was leading its minions away from the bus and moving towards the rest area, Tang Zheng decisively summoned the female musketeer and briefly explained the tactical mission to her.
“Lure them into the gas station over there.
When those big-headed tank zombies go in, use your musket to detonate the gasoline on the ground.
Then run this way, get into this bus, jump out from the back window…”
During the course of the afternoon, fuel leaking from the twenty broken fuel dispensers had spread to many areas.
At least five centimeters thick fuel layer accumulated on the cement floor of the gas station, and it was still spreading all around.
The whole air was filled with a strong burning smell of gasoline, even the refreshing night wind couldn’t disperse them.
Once they caught fire, it would undoubtedly result in a huge blaze.
“Sophie, move.” Tang Zheng was very pleased with his ‘hero’.
At least, there were no communication issues.
She quickly understood Tang Zheng’s tactical intention, jumped off the ground, and ran towards the gas station.
Bang, after Sophie killed a hunter zombie, she immediately attracted their attention.
The horde roared in their throats, charging towards the female musketeer like a blanket covering the sky.
Bang, bang, bang, Sophie began her performance.
You could see three bullets flashing across the night sky, accurately taking down three zombies…
The bikini zombie issued a screech that could provoke the zombies into frenzy, their speed immediately doubled.
After rushing into the gas station, stepping on the gasoline, they made crackling sounds.
Sophie used the two walls of the corner as a leverage, with several leaps, she darted onto the ceiling of the gas station.
Walking leisurely along the steel frame above, she occasionally opened fire, killing the zombies gathering below.
The zombies kept jumping upwards, trying to catch the musketeer, while the last few were entering the trap range.
“Very good.” Upon seeing this through his telescope, Tang Zheng involuntarily clenched his fist.
But what happened next made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The nurse zombie stood twenty meters away from the gas station, protected by the evening gown zombie.
After a stunned pause of less than two seconds, it screamed and ran towards the rest area.
Hearing this scream, twenty zombies from the horde immediately pounced towards the rest area, while the rest began to retreat from the gas station, no longer pursuing Sophie.
Unquestionably, this mutated nurse zombie had the highest intelligence and had seen through Tang Zheng’s arrangements.
“Fire now!” Tang Zheng yelled.
If they waited any longer, they wouldn’t snag a single one.
Luckily, Sophie reacted in time, somersaulting down from the steel frame and firing a shot as she ran towards the bus they had designated earlier.
Bang, the bullet hit the cement floor with a flash of light, immediately igniting the gasoline.
Boom, the entire gas station blazed up instantaneously.
The concentration of flammable gases in the air was high enough to cause a violent explosion as the fire started.
Boom, boom, boom.
The massive fireball rapidly expanded, engulfing everything around like a rising tide.
The silhouettes of the zombies instantly disappeared in the sea of fire, without even enough time to shriek.
Sophie was slightly affected by the blast, tumbling outwards due to the shockwave.
After getting up, she fired her gun to attract the nearby zombies and then lured them to the place where Tang Zheng had hidden the bomb bus.
The zombies mindlessly swarmed the bus, about seven of them.
Sophie leaped out from the rear window and swiftly engaged, roughly three seconds later, there was a boom as the bundle grenade exploded.
The Greyhound bus shuddered violently, all its glass shattering with a clatter and flying out in all directions.
Tang Zheng had no time to observe the results of the battle.
He was frantically running towards the bomb bus at the entrance of the rest area.
Thirty meters behind him were twenty zombies with the bikini zombie closely following.
The two evening gown zombies and the nurse zombie lagged even further behind.
These four intelligent mutants seemingly understood the saying ‘a wise man keeps away from danger.’
Tang Zheng didn’t have the time to care about it all.
After climbing the front door of the bus, he picked up the previously prepared Howling Reaper, pulled the trigger, and crazily opened fire on those hunter zombies.
He managed to kill a few, but twenty was simply too many.
With the small size of the front door, Tang Zheng couldn’t possibly wait for all of them to pile up inside before triggering the trap.
“Almost there, dammit, those four mutants are going to get away for sure.” Tang Zheng ran towards the rear window of the bus.
Through the car window, he could clearly see the four mutants had stopped and hadn’t joined the attack sequence.
The zombies rushed onto the bus, causing a thunderous noise.
Tang Zheng rolled out of the window, smashing the mop handle in the process.
As the window was pulled shut by the elastic cord, Tang Zheng distinctly heard the unique hissing sound of the M24 hand grenade’s pin being pulled.
Not daring to delay, Tang Zheng pushed off with his legs, twisted his waist, swung his arms, and ran towards the supermarket with all his strength.
The bus would explode in three seconds, and he didn’t want to stick around to get blown up.
