Zongman: The End of the Universe

Chapter 35 35. Self-Defense Force

The deafening sound of gunfire rang through the entire forest of Qingzhu Park, startling several birds that were taking a nap.

far away.

A convoy of buses escorted by large modified off-road vehicles drove through the streets in a mighty manner, and behind the convoy was a large group of persistent and frantic zombies chasing them.

The densely packed crowds were like a group of stone crabs following the tide. They looked very different, but equally hideous and ugly. Their rough and low roars made people feel terrified.

In a modified off-road vehicle escorting the bus.

A burly man with a resolute and fierce face sat upright in the back seat with his arms folded and his eyes closed. His strong back muscles made his jet-black military uniform bulge.

Just by sitting there, the man exuded a mountain-like authority, like an unshakable rock.

Under the extremely oppressive power, the atmosphere in the car seemed extremely solemn.

But at this moment, a clear and crisp explosion suddenly came from the distance.

There was a commotion in the two buses in the center of the convoy.

The man with a resolute and stern face suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze was so sharp that no one dared to look directly at him.

Gunshots!

Gao Chengzong's eyes moved slightly, and he looked towards the direction of the gunshot outside the window, and then gave a low command:
"Murata, ask about the manor!"

"Matsumoto! Where is the gunshot coming from?"

The majestic voice carried a decisiveness that could not be rejected.

"Commander-in-Chief! Everything is normal at the manor."

"Commander-in-Chief! The gunshots are probably coming from the direction of Qingzhu Park!"

garden?

Upon hearing this, Gao Chengzong's eyebrows furrowed. Since everything was normal at the manor, the gunshots might have come from the refugees who came to the manor to inquire...

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng Souichiro slowly loosened his arms and placed his palms on the hilt of the sword at his waist:
"Murata, notify Hattori and have him escort the employees' families into the manor as planned. The rest of you, prepare your weapons and follow me to rescue Keishu Park!"

"Hi!"

……

boom! ! !
There was a crisp sound from the muzzle, and visible sound waves vibrated out from the gun body in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the black muzzle burst out with flames, the two zombies that were rushing towards Liu Yuansheng from behind fell down almost at the same time. The bullet pierced through the head of one zombie, and then blew the face of the zombie right behind it into pieces.

Hirano Toda, who was behind the sight, was not afraid when he saw the bloody scene. Instead, a surge of blood rushed to his head. He let himself go and kept pulling the trigger with a grin and excitement.

The crosshairs kept roaming among the zombies.

Every freeze frame is a deafening gunshot!

boom! !

"13!"

boom! !

"15!"

boom! !

"18!"

The deafening sound of gunfire continued to ring out, and with every gunshot, at least two zombies fell down with their heads raised.

It’s not that Hirano Toda’s shooting skills are so superb, but the number of zombies is too dense. There are no less than eight zombies in the crowded zombie group attacking Liu Yuansheng at the same time every second.

Fortunately, under the cover of Hirano Toda, the pressure on Liu Yuansheng to retreat was greatly reduced, and he could dodge and swing his knife among the zombies more and more easily.

A cold light flashed by with a whimper, and the two zombies that were stupidly pouncing on them froze up, and a thumb-thick blood mark appeared on their necks at the same time, and then sticky blood plasma flowed out from the cracks in their necks.

The corpse separated and fell to the ground with a thud, and the blood spread along the lines on the ground. Liu Yuansheng did not stop at all. He stepped over the blood-plasma covered ground, stepped over the corpse, and rushed out of the area where the corpses were densely packed.

Outside the zombie horde.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The gunshots were dull, crisp and piercing.

Shotgun shells continuously sprayed out from the muzzle in a radial pattern. The zombies that just rushed out of the intersection were suddenly hit hard in the chest and fell down in pairs.

Takashi Komuro endured the numbness in his arms and kept taking out ammunition from his pocket to load.

But the hand holding the gun handle was numbed by the recoil and kept shaking, and the fingers that were loading the bullet could not get the shotgun shell into the slot.

"hateful!!!"

A feeling of anxiety welled up in my heart.

"Takashi! Retreat to the woods!"

Saya Takagi in the back obviously noticed Komuro Takashi's predicament. She gritted her teeth and fired a shot to the side, but the gun body flew directly into the sky.

Seeing this scene, Hirano Toda, who was lying on the roof of the car, couldn't help but shout:

"Gao Cheng! When you don't have enough strength, you can aim the muzzle of the gun at the soles of the zombies' feet, and then use the recoil——"

"I know!"

Saya Takagi interrupted Hirano Toda's words without even turning her head. Then, as if to prove herself, she raised the butt of the gun and pulled the trigger.

boom!
There was a dull gunshot, but it was particularly eye-catching at this moment.

Liu Yuansheng, who had just escaped from the group of zombies, suddenly felt his pupils shrink, and he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis that made his scalp numb like a needle.

The next second, before he could react, he felt a sudden sharp pain on one side of his ribs!
The skin and flesh were torn off and blood spurted out from the wound.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

In mid-air, Liu Yuansheng caught a glimpse of blood on the outer ribs out of the corner of his eye and was stunned.

???

Everyone's eyes were stunned, and then they looked at Takagi Saya who was standing there in disbelief with wide eyes!
"I…"

"I did not do it on purpose……"

A feeling of panic and helplessness surged into Saya Takagi's heart, and the panic that surged like a tide almost drowned her.

Takagi Saya stared blankly at Liu Yuansheng, who was escaping from the zombies while holding his outer ribs and gritting his teeth. Seeing Busujima Saeko panicking and rushing over in panic, Marikawa Shizuka, who was standing by, covered her mouth in fear.

Saya Takagi took a few steps back helplessly, and in full view of everyone, the shotgun slowly slipped from her hand.

He fell heavily to the ground.

Shizuka Marikawa didn't have time to think, but her professional awareness as a doctor made her react subconsciously.

She quickly turned and ran to the trunk of the military Hummer, found the medical box she brought from the school infirmary, and opened the lid.

"Disinfection...bandage...medical cotton swabs...alcohol cotton..."

"Yuan Sheng! Are you seriously injured?!"

Busujima Saeko chopped off the head of a zombie with a knife, came to Liu Yuansheng's side, looked around closely, and turned her back to ask Liu Yuansheng.

Liu Yuansheng covered his wound and glanced at Gao Cheng Saya who was lying in front of the car. He kicked away a zombie that was trying to approach him, raised his knife and shook his head calmly, but a trace of haze flashed in his eyes:
"It shouldn't be a big deal. The ribs are fine. Saeko, let's evacuate the rest first."

Busujima Saeko pursed her lips and said nothing, looking worriedly at the wound that Liu Yuansheng was covering with his left hand.

If the blood of these zombies also carries the virus that can infect humans, that would be bad...

Facing the worried gazes of Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei, Busujima Saeko took Liu Yuansheng and retreated to the front of the car. Marikawa Shizuka trotted over to Liu Yuansheng with medical disinfection supplies and began to clean Liu Yuansheng's wound.

Busujima Saeko looked at the zombies pouring out of the intersection with a serious look, tightened her grip on the knife handle, and said in a deep voice:
"I'll buy you some time."

"Saeko, do what you can."

Liu Yuansheng looked at Busujima Saeko and said solemnly.

But Busujima Saeko did not respond. She just tightened her grip on the knife and rushed straight towards the group of zombies without looking back.

However, Hirano, Toda, Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei still gritted their teeth and persevered.

Hirano Toda's eyes were sharp. He aimed his crosshairs at the area where the zombies were densely packed and kept shooting. Often when he killed one zombie, five or six would fall down as well.

It greatly slowed down the zombies' advance speed.

Komuro Takashi continued to pull the trigger towards the location where Hirano Toda shot, trying to make the zombies form a pile to block his advance.

Miyamoto Rei cooperated with Busujima Saeko who came later to shuttle between the flanks of the zombie swarm, killing those lone corpses far away from the zombie swarm.

Only Takagi Saya sat slumped on the ground, looking at Liu Yuansheng with complicated eyes, and the panic just now receded like the tide.

At this moment, she couldn't tell what emotions were in her heart.

Regret? Sad?
No…she didn’t have a single trace of the aforementioned emotion in her heart.

Some are just,

A hint of suppressed excitement...

Saya Takagi's amber pupils trembled involuntarily, and she lowered her head in an attempt to hide her inner emotions.

That monstrous guy...is he going to be infected?

Seeing Busujima Saeko leave, Liu Yuansheng looked at Marikawa Shizuka who was holding disinfectant alcohol to pour on his wound, and asked in a low voice:
"Shizuka, is there any sign of infection in the wound?"

Marikawa Shizuka paused while watering the wound, put her face close to Liu Yuansheng's wound, and narrowed her eyes:

"Hmm... Although the wound is stained with some blood from the dead body... but there seems to be no sign of infection at the moment..."

"Incubation period?"

Liu Yuansheng frowned.

Shizuka Marikawa cleaned the wound with an alcohol cotton pad, observed it carefully for a few seconds, and said:

“It doesn’t seem like it… Even if it was in the incubation period, the wound should have become diseased, but the flesh and blood of your wound is still in normal shape.

I've observed this in the infirmary! After that monster bites someone, it can completely infect a person in three minutes.

In about a minute, the body's limbs will begin to feel weak, the body temperature will rise rapidly, and in two minutes the body will spit blood, the skin and limbs will gradually become stiff, and consciousness will disappear directly. "

Liu Yuansheng's frown gradually relaxed, because he didn't feel any of the symptoms that Marikawa Shizuka described.

He squeezed his palms worriedly and found that apart from the stiffness of his hand muscles from holding the knife for a long time, there was nothing abnormal with his body.

Shizuka Marikawa obviously noticed that Liu Yuansheng was "normal", but it was too frivolous to make such a simple judgment, so she took out a thermometer from the medical box beside her and inserted it into Liu Yuansheng's armpit, and put on a stethoscope to judge Liu Yuansheng's heartbeat and chest movement.

After listening for a while, Marikawa Shizuka's eyes lit up, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she clapped her hands happily:
"Look, Minamoto-kun isn't infected!"

"So... is it possible that the blood of a dead body is not infectious?
"But why is this?"

"Could it be that a dead body can only secrete saliva containing the virus in the mouth? Isn't this the same as a venomous snake? The body is essentially non-toxic, and only the head has glands that secrete highly toxic substances!"

At the end of the conversation, Marikawa Shizuka's eyes lit up and she jumped up excitedly. The fat on her chest rose and fell, which made Liu Yuansheng's eyelids jump:
"Wow! I'm so smart! This is an amazing discovery!"

Seeing Marikawa Shizuka's happy expression, Liu Yuansheng felt relieved. He didn't want to die before accomplishing his mission, otherwise he wouldn't be able to continue writing the novel.

"Shizuka, since everything is fine, you should quickly help me bandage the wound."

"Ok!"

Marikawa Shizuka blinked, proudly raised her thumb, and looked at Liu Yuansheng with a smile on her face:
"Just leave it to me, teacher!"

hiss~
Suddenly calling yourself a teacher, what do you want to do?

Forcing himself to get rid of the unhealthy images in his mind, Liu Yuansheng tried to divert his attention so that Shizuka Marikawa could help him put on the bandage.

But just as he was about to look up, the next second.

Da da da da————

A burst of rapid and intense gunfire suddenly rang out from a distance without any warning.

Then, in the field of vision, a cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded at the end of the park road, and zombies fell one after another like wheat being cut.

Someone is coming to the rescue!

Everyone's eyes lit up.

I was typing yesterday when I suddenly realized that there was a picture that I hadn’t posted yet. I worked until 8am and didn’t get up until 5pm this afternoon…

Oh, actually, don’t worry about whether the blood is poisonous or not. Firstly, those who have seen the original film know that it is common for these students to have blood on their faces. Secondly, it also paves the way for the subsequent conflicts.
