Tide of Zombies

Night fell, and the city was shrouded in a faint mist.

The number of zombies slowly increased in the S City central area. After the Illusion Worms died, zombies from elsewhere began to gather here.

Seemingly attracted by the scent of fresh human flesh, they slowly bunched together, dragging their tattered and decaying bodies, growling in low voices as they moved toward the apartment building in the center of the area.

In the silent night, the growls started as just a few scattered sounds, but like a contagious disease, they spread out in a radiating pattern.

“Roar! Roar!~”

The stench of decay permeated the streets!

Hundreds and thousands of zombies gathered together, moving in the same direction.

There were even a few bizarre zombies with huge bodies, as large as half a sedan car, crawling on all fours, lurking behind collapsed ruins like hungry wolves preying on their prey, their footsteps extremely light.

These zombies, with their huge muscles, sharp fangs, and sharp claws, didn’t resemble the living dead and were covered in bluish-gray scales!

If Ping Chengcheng could see this scene, she would recognize that these zombies were the Hunters who had dragged her into their nest before she transmigrated in her previous life!

They were an extremely powerful type of Special Infected, generally living together in groups. Ranking fifth in the Special Infected sequence, they could hold their own against many weaker Variants!

In the zombie horde, a slightly larger Hunter roared twice rhythmically, and then the Hunters began to move quickly, soon disappearing into the night.

On the top of the apartment building, Ping Chengcheng sat on the edge with an anti-material sniper rifle in her arms, yawning boredly.

She had long expected this situation. Generally speaking, the more people there were, the more human scent would be emitted, attracting more zombies.

It was like the S City base, which had been built for so long, yet still had one or two zombies randomly appearing from various places as if they were randomly spawning.

The S City base had been built for three months, and they had been cleaning the surrounding area every day.

Zombies could come from other cities. There were zombies all over the world. It was impossible to clean up just one place and expect that place to be free of zombies.

Estimating visually, there were only about five thousand zombies in tonight’s horde. They were running densely from a distance.

For a convoy with plenty of firepower, these zombies were actually nothing to worry about.

Eight armored vehicles were parked in front of the apartment building’s main entrance, their headlights shining brightly.

These armored vehicles had been modified by the engineering team and equipped with powerful spotlights.

The heavy machine guns on the roofs were aimed at the zombie horde. Fortunately, this apartment building was backed by other factories, so it didn’t need to guard both sides at the same time. It only needed to block the zombie horde in front, which wasn’t very troublesome.

“Heavy machine gun teams, get ready! Open fire when the zombies enter the 30-meter line!” The girl calmly gave the order.

At the same time, she stood up from the rooftop, vigilantly continuing to observe the rear of the distant zombie horde.

She had to eliminate all dangers! She wondered… if there would be any Special Infected nearby.

Her eyes were cold, like a sword drawn from its scabbard.

Song Ning was standing upright on the roof of an armored vehicle, gazing at the zombie horde.

According to the latest Special Infected manual and Variant manual, there were many monsters that were difficult to injure with firearms. To deal with those guys, unless they used heavy snipers or missiles, grenades, and the like.

Of course… there was another way.

Humans wearing exoskeletons would have all their physical functions enhanced countless times. With a qualified melee weapon, they could be invincible.

Song Ning had not activated her exoskeleton armor; it was currently in standby mode.

Later, she planned to find a place with slightly fewer zombies to practice her melee skills in actual combat.

The heavy machine gun teams were mainly responsible for zombies in front of her, to the left, and to the right. Because she was in those directions, Song Ning wasn’t too worried about being accidentally injured.

In addition to these arrangements, Ping Chengcheng also instructed the entire Special Operations Team wearing exoskeleton armor to spread out and hide behind the various ruins around the apartment building to look for more potential threats.

Up until now, nothing unexpected had happened. Through radio communication, all Special Operations Team personnel were in good condition.

It seemed that no Variants would appear tonight.

The girl was slightly relieved but still didn’t let down her guard. In the apocalypse, one could never be careless.

The zombie horde arrived with a rancid stench!

Soon, the huge sweeping sound of heavy machine guns rang out, instantly tearing through the zombie horde!

“Pay attention to alternating fire! Don’t let the firepower stop!” Ye Yin’s loud roar came from downstairs, which Ping Chengcheng, sitting on the high rooftop, could hear.

Truth be told, Ye Yin did have some skill in dealing with zombie hordes. Under his command, the eight heavy machine guns could actually resist a zombie horde of up to five digits head-on.

Ping Chengcheng thought that although they could solve it, it would still be a little difficult, but she didn’t expect that under Ye Yin’s command, they could even push the zombie horde back in the opposite direction.

The girl nodded with satisfaction.

A minute later, Ping Chengcheng asked again about the current investigation status of the Special Operations Team, asking them to report their numbers one by one.

“Where’s number 20?”

“Number 20?”

Number 20 didn’t respond for a long time. At this moment, Ping Chengcheng’s face was a little ugly.

There’s a Special Infected!

All Special Operations Team members wore exoskeleton armor, and a casual blast from them could deal with twenty or so zombies. Even if they encountered a Special Infected like the Butcher, they could kill it without any pressure.

What kind of Special Infected was it!?

“Sister! Quickly turn on Biohazard Mode! It seems… there’s a very strong Special Infected nearby!”

In a corner with slightly fewer zombies, Song Ning was happily wielding her bone blade in the zombie horde. The experience that the girl had imparted to her earlier was being quickly digested by the young woman.

The girl’s voice came from the earpiece, and Song Ning activated her exoskeleton armor and entered Biohazard Mode without hesitation.

[Hello, Miss Operator Song Ning. Xiao An has entered [Biohazard Mode].]

A constant stream of power emerged from her body. Song Ning observed her surroundings through the black visor.

The bone blade flipped in her hand, and she spun in place, elegantly cutting off the heads of all the surrounding zombies!

In an instant, a dozen headless zombies fell to the ground.

There were still dozens of zombies roaring from a distance, about ten seconds away from reaching Song Ning’s current position.

Song Ning narrowed her eyes, searching for the location of the Special Infected that the girl had mentioned.

This place was an angle on the left side of the apartment building, with a mound-like ruin. Zombies didn’t come from this side, so there weren’t many zombies here, which was why she had chosen to practice here.

Song Ning leaned against the ruins, her eyes sharp.

But what she didn’t know was that on the ruins, under the cover of night, a slightly petite Hunter with a jet-black body was poised and ready, its body, full of muscles, arching like a leopard about to pounce on its prey, glaring at her.

This was the weakest point in the defense. As long as it captured this place, it could easily kill the armored vehicle convoy.

This petite Hunter was a good shock trooper…

To prevent being discovered by the little girl who was constantly observing the battlefield from the top of the apartment building, it had even made a detour behind the apartment building before jumping onto these ruins.
