Chapter 100: Chapter 94: We’re Here to Join You
Huang Zhiqiang’s hoarding instinct flared up on the spot.
Zhao Youcai licked his lips when he saw the cartons of cigarettes in the glass display case.
Seeing this, Yu Dong jerked his chin at Liu Ye’ye.
Liu Ye’ye immediately sent the robot dog inside. After it did a sweep...
ROAR!!!
Two zombies wearing motorcycle helmets ran out of the supermarket, chasing the robot dog.
Zhou and Zhao Youcai, holding their spears, took one look and realized they had no way to strike!
Yu Dong lowered his composite crossbow as well.
The helmets were protecting the zombies’ vital spots!
BANG!
Huang Zhiqiang sent one flying with a direct charge. Zhao Wenjie shoved his small wooden shield against the other, making the helmeted zombie stagger, then swung his Mountain-Cutting Saber at its neck.
THWACK!
The Mountain-Cutting Saber got stuck in its neck and wouldn’t come out!
ROAR!!!
The zombie spread its arms and lunged at Zhao Wenjie for a bear hug. Just then... a spear braced against its chest!
"Zombies wearing helmets? Isn’t that basically cheating?! How are we supposed to kill them!"
Zhao Youcai cursed, using all his strength to hold the spear steady.
Yu Dong raised his composite crossbow and shot an arrow at the neck of the zombie being held back by Zhao Youcai.
CRACK!
The arrow shot out, shattering the helmeted zombie’s cervical spine!
Instantly, its body went still, but the head inside the helmet kept roaring.
"Awesome, Brother Dong!"
Zhao Wenjie chuckled, stepping on the helmeted zombie’s body to pull out his Mountain-Cutting Saber.
The other helmeted zombie, the one sent flying by Huang Zhiqiang, was a petite female, probably weighing around ninety pounds. After being repeatedly shoved by the 198-pound Huang, she couldn’t even stay on her feet.
Zhou and Zhao Youcai followed suit, pinning her to the ground and piercing her cervical spine with their spears, destroying her ability to move.
Both zombies in helmets were immobilized, but they were still opening their mouths wide and howling at them.
"Now what? The quality of these helmets isn’t half bad... my spear can’t pierce it, it just keeps slipping."
Yu Dong suddenly remembered the wound on the back of Xufeng’s head. He drew the dagger from his waist and thrust it forcefully up from under the zombie’s chin!
SQUELCH!
Two upward thrusts through the jaw finished off both helmeted zombies.
"Helmeted zombies really are a pain to deal with. Good thing there were only two."
After they were dealt with, Huang Zhiqiang looked at Yu Dong excitedly. "Well? Should we go in and grab some stuff?"
"No rush. Let’s finish the main task first... Zhou is still waiting for that paint."
There were priorities. Yu Dong wasn’t the type to forget the main quest for the sake of a side quest.
Even if the side quest rewards looked very tempting.
The group walked past a noodle shop, a barbecue joint, a breakfast place, an unmanned convenience store, and a beauty salon before successfully arriving at the Duorui Paint Shop.
The shop’s door was also open, and they could faintly hear some movement from inside...
The robot dog went in first and did a quick sweep.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
It lured out six burly worker zombies, who came charging madly toward them!
They looked exceptionally fierce!
They were given no time to react, instantly triggering a 6-on-6 encounter!
The first one charging was a large, fat worker, weighing at least 220 pounds. Huang Zhiqiang held his shield firm at the front of the formation.
’What a huge gut! Can I even hold him back?’
WHOOSH!
A crossbow arrow struck the fat zombie right in the eyeball, killing it instantly!
Yu Dong had taken out the biggest threat first with his composite crossbow!
"Hold steady, don’t break formation! Protect Ye Ye."
Yu Dong had no time to reload. He dropped the composite crossbow, drew his blade, and charged a zombie!
Huang Zhiqiang targeted the nearest one and sent it flying with a charge.
Behind him, Zhou Jian Country and Zhao Youcai thrust their spears in unison, finishing off that zombie.
The electric prod on the robot dog’s head began to crackle with sparks. It chased after a zombie, zapping it repeatedly until it fell to the ground.
Zhao Wenjie engaged a zombie, sweeping with his shield and striking with his Mountain-Cutting Saber. It didn’t matter that it wasn’t a kill shot; he took two steps back, then used his shield again to knock aside a zombie rushing toward Liu Ye’ye, constantly skirmishing.
Huang Zhiqiang used his large shield to slam into zombies, preventing them from launching frontal attacks on his teammates.
Liu Ye’ye moved with light feet behind Huang Zhiqiang and Zhao Wenjie. Without even looking at the remote, she directed the robot dog with its high-voltage prod to zap zombies all over the place, providing maximum crowd control.
Zhou and Zhao Youcai followed behind, picking them off one by one with their spears.
SQUELCH!
Yu Dong drove his dagger straight into a worker zombie’s eye socket, scoring a melee solo kill.
He looked back and saw the others, hiding behind Huang Zhiqiang and Zhao Wenjie like in a game of cat and mouse, had already dispatched nearly all of the remaining four zombies.
Zhao Wenjie looked at his arm. There was a bite mark on it, but that was all.
"I declare that the stab-proof vest is the greatest invention in the world!"
A 6v6 field battle, and a total victory for the Xiangti Bay Squad!
Yu Dong pulled his Crossbow Arrow from the zombie’s head, picked up his composite crossbow from the ground, and reloaded it, ready for action.
"It seems everyone’s training has been very effective."
Everyone smiled.
"That was intense... But it’s fine. We have a high margin for error. Even if something goes wrong, we’re in full armor."
"When I think about how the zombies can’t bite through these stab-proof suits, what the hell is there to be afraid of? Just keep ramming them!" Huang Zhiqiang was quite proud of his own bravery.
This past month of hellish training had started to turn his flab into solid muscle. When he charged, he moved like a roaring tiger.
"Alright, they were just some normal zombies. It’s a good thing we didn’t run into any climbing zombies... Qiao Yunliang said those things will climb telephone poles and pounce on people as they pass by. Impossible to defend against."
As Yu Dong had been walking today, he paid extra attention to the nearby telephone poles, but thankfully, there were none.
Yu Dong guessed it might be a regional thing. They weren’t in the same area as Qiao Yunliang, so the zombies here hadn’t developed that strange mutation.
Zhou walked into the Duorui Paint Shop and found a bucket of "silver powder paint" on a shelf, his face lighting up with joy.
"I’ve got it! With this... the vault door will be like a piece of paper!"
The others: "Huh?"
They all looked at him with the pure, unadulterated gaze of people who knew nothing about chemistry.
"Silver powder paint contains aluminum powder! Using an oil-based solvent, we can extract aluminum powder of a fairly high purity!"
The others: "So what?"
Zhou slapped his forehead.
"Forget it. Just start moving this stuff. Take all this silver powder paint. Oh... take these buckets of Iron Red Paint, too. And all this Tinna Water and turpentine! Take it all!"
To Zhou, this paint shop was like a chemical plant, full of useful things.
The group found a small loading cart in the paint shop and started loading the buckets of paint onto it.
Huang Zhiqiang said, "Hey! Dongzi, that drawbridge you had us build has another benefit! We can push this loading cart straight into the complex without having to unload and reload. Dongzi, how’d you even think of that... you’re a genius!"
’Once we’re done with the paint shop, we can use the cart to haul goods from the mini-mart...’
While the five of them were inside enjoying the fruits of their victory, Liu Ye’ye’s voice came through their earpieces.
"Attention! Four people just jumped from the second floor of the hotel... they’re running toward us! Two men, two women, and they’re armed!"
"Hm?"
The group immediately dropped what they were doing and headed outside.
Yu Dong raised his composite crossbow, aiming it at the four adults running toward them carrying steel pipes.
"Stop, or you die!"
Yu Dong said coldly, his finger on the trigger, ready to pull it.
Huang Zhiqiang and the others also instantly entered a combat stance, raising their weapons.
The four people were so scared they dropped to their knees, tossing their steel pipes aside.
"Don’t shoot! We’re the good guys! We’ve come to seek refuge with you!"
"Please, take us in! We want to join your group! We’ll do anything!"
