Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 449 - 445: Suicide Mission (Part 3)

"Zzzzz~"

"Hello? Is Commander Xu there? Please respond if you receive this! Over!"

Glancing at Lei Tong, Xu Renjie slowly picked up the hand-held radio from his shoulder neck and replied indifferently, "This is Xu Renjie, speak your piece! Over!"

"Commander Xu! How is the situation at the stadium? Have you found any trace of the trapped soldier? Over!"

"The situation at the stadium is very bad! No trace of the trapped soldier has been found yet! Over!"

Xu Renjie truthfully relayed the situation inside the stadium; upon hearing this, Old Zhao and others inevitably looked solemn.

Others’ thoughts were unknown to Tang Xiaoquan, but in his view, the possibility of the soldier’s survival was minimal since no trace had been found yet.

However, given the emotions of those around him, he wasn’t in a position to state this clearly.

But based on Xu Renjie’s personality and the qualities of a professional soldier, Tang Xiaoquan was still uneasy as he pressed the talk button and carefully reminded, "Commander Xu! I hope you remember the words we said before departing; our mission this time is to save people, not to send ourselves to death! If there’s no trace of the soldier in the stadium, you must promptly withdraw and avoid entering the player tunnel. Remember, you must be responsible for the soldiers by your side!! Over!"

Upon dropping these words, Tang Xiaoquan pinched his forehead, honestly unsure of how much impact his words would have.

But given the current situation, there’s nothing else he could do outside the stadium.

Xu Renjie stood there dumbfounded; the young man’s last words, "Remember to be responsible for the soldiers by your side," resonated like thunder in his ears.

Indeed! If I go down now, Lei Tong and the others will absolutely not remain indifferent, and not only will Luo Yi remain missing, but it could also drag the brothers on the bulldozer into danger.

With that thought, Xu Renjie sighed lightly, then reached out to comfort Lei Tong and took the 92-style pistol from his hand, softly speaking into the walkie-talkie, "Li Xiaoxin! Turn around! We’re withdrawing! Over!"

After uttering these words, Xu Renjie suddenly felt like he had aged, a sense of powerless despondency swept over him.

He felt like a deserter on the battlefield, unable to face the missing Luo Yi and the others.

Li Xiaoxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, having clearly witnessed the confrontation on the bulldozer earlier, but due to the realistic situation, he was unable to go out and persuade them.

Luckily, Zhao and Tang’s timely communication halted this extremely dangerous conflict.

There’s nothing much to say now, although he was very anxious about the fruitless search, staying longer clearly held no meaning.

"Rumble rumble!" The bulldozer, stalled for a while, started moving again, and as its steel armor began moving, the surrounding beasts were immediately flattened to the ground like rice seedlings.

In just a few seconds, clumps of dark blood spread across the ground, and the rancid stench filled the air.

Perhaps aware that the prey was about to leave, the zombie army’s attack suddenly intensified.

Both the "Runner" and the "Climber" made every effort to attack the bulldozer.

For a time, the sound of zombies was deafening, the zombie howls shook the skies, countless beasts gathered in waves like ants at the front of the bulldozer.

Those who could climb climbed, those who could run ran, those who could do nothing waved their arms, forming a wall of corpses to block the bulldozer’s "steps."

Without a doubt, faced with the bulldozer’s powerful thrust, even a real wall would be shattered and knocked down.

As expected, the fearless beasts’ blockade was all reduced to pulp, causing no real harm to the bulldozer.

However, blocking the bulldozer’s "steps" didn’t mean the beasts couldn’t approach the prey inside the car.

Utilizing the vehicle’s various angles, the "Climbers" could easily board the vehicle, and Li Xiaoxin, in the cab at the bottom, was undoubtedly the prime target.

The windows on both sides had been completely sealed by the beasts, even the front was clinging to a "Climber," constantly reaching out and knocking on the windshield.

Although the safety of the vehicle was assured due to the added iron bars, the obscured glass and restricted view were undeniable facts.

In comparison to Li Xiaoxin’s predicament, Xu Renjie, Lei Tong, and Hua Biao’s situation in the bucket was even worse.

At this moment, they faced enemies from three sides, the hardest to defend was the "Climbers" circumventing via the vehicle roof from the rear.

They often employed leaping attacks, any carelessness could deal a fatal blow to team members busy defending the sides.

Sure enough, as they spoke, a "Climber" took advantage of the moment when Lei Hua Xu were killing its companions and leapt down from the roof.

"Bang!" The nearly 1.7-meter frame plummeted into the bucket, and due to the limited space, inevitably dragged Xu Renjie down on impact.

Fortunately, Xu Renjie was well-equipped, otherwise the fall alone, not to mention being taken down by zombies, was enough to cause fatal injury with the hit on the steel board.

The "Climber" reacted quickly, at least compared to the past "Pacers," being more adapted and its coordination greatly improved.

Similarly, Xu Renjie, of the Sharp Blade Company, wasn’t an amateur, his first response was to drop the steel shovel in his hand and draw the Triangular Military Dagger hidden inside.

No need to care about the beast’s claws, he believed their blades couldn’t pierce his anti-stab clothing, so without hesitation, Xu Renjie raised the Triangular Military Dagger and stabbed it into the beast’s brainstem.

In a twist and release motion, black blood flowed down the knife handle, Xu Renjie swiftly pushed away the corpse, then flipped and stood up.

"Commander! Are you alright?" Seeing Xu Renjie stand, Lei Tong asked with concern, but his police steel fork still pointed downwards, striving to block the "Climber" trying to ascend.

"I’m fine! Continue to fight the enemy!"

Zombies endlessly climbed, the action team tirelessly stabbed, both sides engaged in a fierce struggle on the vast bulldozer.

Li Xiaoxin controlled the direction of the bulldozer through the intermittently visible gaps in the windshield.

Finally, after much distress, the surrounding light gradually dimmed, indicating entry into the passage.

Moments later, the darkness dissipated, and familiar brightness reappeared; the bulldozer safely broke out of the stadium.

Looking at the army of zombies continuing to clamor and chase behind the vehicle, Xu Renjie couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

No matter what, they’ve made it out.

As for the future, honestly, his muddled brain had no ideas at the moment.

But before that, his eyes coldly glanced at the persistent beasts still clinging to the vehicle; Xu Renjie crouched, retrieved the police steel fork he’d dropped earlier, and issued the last order of this mission, "Finish them off! Kill them!!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
