Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Chapter 79: Melee

"I've always had a question." An Suxin suddenly said, "The blood rats hunt humans because the queen behind them needs to eat. Why is that queen so obsessed with eating living people? Aren't the zombies wandering around the city a more convenient source of food than living people?"

This doubt came from the information Ruan Mengmeng brought back earlier. She saw with her own eyes that the blood rats bit their prey into a bloody mess, but insisted on not killing the prey. After eliminating the prey's ability to resist, they deliberately avoided the zombies and carried the prey away.

"What is the difference between us and zombies?" It was Chu Yan who asked this question.

She looked at the zombies that were flowing like a torrent under the building, with a cold expression and no ups and downs. This was an extremely terrifying scene, countless zombies gathered into a torrent of flesh and blood, and the screams and roars were more frightening than any sound of flood waves. However, Chu Yan looked at the "tide" downstairs coldly, without any fear in her heart, just like looking at a large group of ants running towards candy.

"If there is a difference, we are still alive, while they are dead?" Su Muhe replied, "We also have the virus in our bodies, but we are able to withstand it, while the zombies are controlled by the virus."

As carriers of the virus, the difference between the living and the zombies is just the difference between life and death.

"Perhaps, 'life' is the reason why it is obsessed with devouring living people..."

An Suxin said softly, after all, there is no correct answer to guessing, after all, there are too few clues, and no one can ask it in front of the queen, right? However, An Suxin had a hunch that maybe the next time she saw that weird monster, she might not be able to call the monster queen "it" anymore.

At this moment, Chu Yan suddenly uttered "Huh", turned her head abruptly, and looked in a certain direction of the shelter in a trance, with a flash of red light in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Su Muhe noticed Chu Yan's strangeness at this moment and asked worriedly.

Chu Yan shook her head and said uncertainly: "Just now at that moment... I seemed to feel my brother's presence..."

This feeling was so mysterious that it was hard to describe in words, so much so that Chu Yan even doubted whether this fleeting feeling was an illusion. However, her vague intuition told her that this was definitely not an illusion.

"Xiao Yan, are you missing Brother Xiao so much that you're hallucinating?"

Chu Yan shook her head, but she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart: "It shouldn't be an illusion... I feel like my brother seemed very... angry just now?"

There was a hint of doubt in her words, which even she herself could not understand, but this connection with her brother beyond space made her feel happy.

It’s just… just now, the moment I felt my brother’s presence, there seemed to be a cold gaze…

An Suxin smiled: "This is not bad, at least we have confirmed that our dog man is still alive and well."

While the girls were talking, the direction of the shelter changed again, and a group of men in black emerged from inside the shelter. They were clearly different from the previous guards. Even from a distance, it could be seen that these people were well-trained and were armed with heavy weapons.

Just as An Suxin had analyzed earlier, although the zombies were crazy, their flesh and blood bodies were absolutely no match for modern human killing weapons. The scene of zombies suppressing modern armies could only appear in movies. In the face of sufficient firepower, the zombies, who could only rely on their flesh to inflict damage, did not even have a chance to get close.

The madly pouring out firepower forcibly suppressed the mad tide of corpses, and the tide of flesh and blood was instantly torn into miserable pieces of flesh by the bullets.

With this level of firepower, these people didn't even need to specifically aim at the zombies' heads. The lethality of modern rifles was already very huge, and dense bullets were enough to tear off a large piece of flesh and blood just by glancing at the body. What's more, these people actually had...

"Wow, these people can even use Gatling guns?" Ruan Mengmeng watched the battle downstairs with a telescope. The powerful firepower made Miss Ruan stunned.

"...Sure enough, Sun Baishi was well prepared..." An Suxin looked at the war-like scene below and was not surprised. "I'm afraid he was prepared to deal with the 'Zombie Tide' from the beginning."

This is not a surprising thing. Since the man had been planning to build a "concentration camp" before the disaster, he must have a trump card to defend against the zombies. But I don't know where Sun Baishi, an ordinary domestic businessman, got such a military-level heavy firepower?

Seeing the zombie tide being suppressed by modern military-level firepower, Su Muhe became a little anxious: "Xiao Yan, if all the zombies are killed, will the water still be muddy?"

"Don't worry." Chu Yan sneered, "Look, the 'Queen' has taken action."

Changes occur suddenly.

The men in black were busy dealing with the zombies that kept pouring in, and at this moment, a group of huge red rats rushed out from the corner!

There were so many blood rats that it looked like a blood-colored blanket was suddenly spread out.

The men in black had not expected to be attacked suddenly, and soon lost their composure. The blood rats were extremely ferocious, and their agility far exceeded that of zombies. Almost as soon as they appeared, they caused the men in black to suffer huge losses.

The size of these blood rats is getting bigger and bigger, each one is as big as a medium-sized dog. Rather than a pack of rats, it is more like a pack of crazy wolves.

Faced with an attack of this scale, the men in black had to abandon the line in front of the gate, and the blood rats and zombies took the opportunity to rush into the walls of the shelter, and even greater chaos broke out.

"There are so many!" Su Muhe exclaimed. She couldn't help but look around, fearing that blood rats would appear around her, "Is that 'Queen' going to show up too?"

She recalled the nightmare scene and felt a chill all over her body. At a glance, she only saw zombies and rats fighting with the men in black, and the queen's huge and twisted figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Mengmeng, how was your rest?" An Suxin suddenly asked.

"I've fully recovered!" Ruan Mengmeng patted her chest and said confidently.

"I'm sorry to put you at risk again." The current situation is progressing exactly as they planned, so the girls can move on to the next step. "Taking advantage of the current chaos, do you have a way to sneak into the shelter now?"

Ruan Mengmeng glanced at the shelter from afar. The tide of zombies had been dispersed. Most of the zombies had been crushed by the previous heavy firepower. Although the number of remaining zombies was not small, they were not dense. If she just wanted to avoid these stupid zombies, it would not be a difficult task with her ability.

"No problem." Ruan Mengmeng said confidently, "Then I will go in to meet Brother Xiao first. I will find him and bring him out."

After saying that, Ruan Mengmeng carried Chu Xiao's shotgun on her back, held the knife in one hand, and ran downstairs quickly.

When Ruan Mengmeng disappeared, An Suxin said to Su Muhe again: "Su Su, you can turn on the intercom now, and be ready to receive calls at any time."

Su Muhe held the walkie-talkie tightly and nodded heavily.

After arranging these things, An Suxin took a deep breath and said, "This is all we can do for now. What happens next depends on his ability..."

(ps: I suddenly regretted not bringing the motorcycle mentioned above to Mengmeng. Imagine the scene of the female knight Ruan Mengmeng driving a motorcycle and rushing into the zombie group with a knife in one hand. It's so cool no matter how you think about it)

Chapter 80 Exit

The countless cargoes behind him were easily knocked away by the Gu King like toys, and countless cargoes flew everywhere amidst the huge roar.

The barbed tentacles seemed like they would brush past his ears at any time. If he was not nimble enough and his perception had not been greatly improved, he would have been entangled by these python-like tentacles in a matter of minutes.

Zhang Zhan had already thrown the Molotov cocktail, and the flames from the ignited fuel burned the back of the Gu King. But the monster didn't care at all, as if the flames didn't cause much damage to it. Even though the air was filled with an unpleasant burnt smell, the Gu King's movements were still not affected at all.

"Why doesn't it work!" Zhang Zhan asked loudly while running away.

No, it should be useful, but the scales of the Gu King seemed to resist the flames to a certain extent, and its strong self-healing ability also allowed it to continuously repair the parts burned by the flames. However, many tentacles had been burned by the flames and turned into charred black. The Molotov cocktail at least destroyed a considerable number of the Gu King's tentacles, otherwise Chu Xiao would not have been able to dodge so easily.

"Don't worry about it! Run separately!" Chu Xiao threw Zhang Zhan out with force.

Just as Chu Xiao expected, all of Gu King’s hatred was now focused on him, and he didn’t even look at Zhang Zhan.

"Hurry up and meet up with Lao Fang and the others!" Chu Xiao shouted to Zhang Zhan, "Everything should go according to the plan!"

Zhang Zhan got up from the ground, took a deep look at Chu Xiao, and then immediately ran in the direction of the others.

Chu Xiao used the complex terrain in the supermarket to barely avoid the attack of the Gu King. From the first time he came into contact with the mutants, he found that these strange monsters seemed to have an unusual obsession with him. These damn monsters seemed to regard him as part of the Gu-raising game.

At this moment, the reason why the Gu King was so persistent in hunting down Chu Xiao was probably not just because Chu Xiao interrupted its evolution process.

It wanted to eat Chu Xiao and climb that extremely difficult staircase again!

"How can I let a guy like you catch up with me!" Chu Xiao knew that he could not fight the Gu King head-on now, and could only rely on running away to delay time.

The shelves in the supermarket were ignited by the flames from the Gu King's body, and flames gradually rose all around. Chu Xiao felt that the temperature of the air in the supermarket was rising, and the black smoke brought by the burning flames was a bit choking.

"How long can you hold on!" Chu Xiao shouted to the monster chasing him while running away. He didn't care whether the Gu King could hear him or not. There was a crazy laugh in his voice, "As long as you are still a flesh and blood body, you will be burned to death one day! How long can your scales and your self-healing ability help you hold on!"

"Monster, you don't have much time!"

The Gu King let out a sharp and heart-shaking roar. It seemed to understand Chu Xiao's words, and there was anxiety in the roar. Obviously, after devouring a large number of its own kind, the Gu King gained a certain degree of intelligence and thinking ability.

It knew it was injured, and the flames were constantly reducing its strength and aggravating its injuries. However, it still had one chance, which was to eat the man in front of it and challenge the ladder again.

The Gu King didn't know why the seemingly weak creature in front of him had such a great attraction, but his instinct told him that the man in front of him was more precious food than countless of his kind combined.

On the other side, Zhang Zhan successfully joined the main force. Although Gu Ke and Yun Duo'er were worried about Chu Xiao who was targeted by the Gu King, they could not intervene in the chase over there for the time being. Gu Ke unconsciously put his hand on the gun at his waist. There were still two bullets left in it, which had to be used in critical places.

The Gu King was led away by Chu Xiao, and the biggest obstacle to the action had been removed, so the survivors immediately began to act. Brother Fang nodded to Zhang Zhan, then immediately started his car, using the path created by the Gu King to create as much acceleration distance as possible from the target gate.

There were still some zombies in front of the car. These zombies could not block the survivors' way to survive. Gu Ke and Zhang Zhan took the lead and killed the zombies blocking the road in a few moves. Some women in the team also plucked up their courage and killed some of the zombies with the help of the Molotov cocktails they were distributed.

By now, the entire supermarket had almost turned into a sea of ​​fire, with more and more black smoke, and the gradually rising temperature in the air began to make the skin feel burning. This was also a last-ditch effort. If the plan failed, even if they didn't die in the monster's mouth, they would die in the sea of ​​fire.

Brother Fang stepped on the accelerator, and his car accelerated instantly, rushing through the sea of ​​fire and rapidly crashing into the gate leading to the ground.

Everything happened in a flash. When the car was about to hit the rolling door, Brother Fang took the opportunity to jump out from the driver's seat, protecting his head and rolling on the ground for several times. At this moment, the front of the car hit the rolling door leading to the upper floor heavily.

The front of the car was completely deformed and a big hole was knocked open in the rolling door, but the road leading to the upper level was not opened. A large amount of debris used to block the road behind the door became the second obstacle.

"Ignite!" Zhang Zhan looked nervous, his fists clenched, "Let's blast a path!"

The burning Molotov cocktail hit the car and quickly ignited the fuel tank. The violent explosion almost made everyone's ears ring.

"Did it explode?" Zhang Zhan stared at the location of the explosion.

When the car exploded and produced thick black smoke, screams and cries leaked in from the explosion. The door was opened a crack, leaving only a fragile layer of obstruction, and the sound from the upper floor could be transmitted down.

The survivors had no time to think about what the screams and cries coming from the shelter above meant, as their path to the ground was blocked by flames and debris, and they could not pass for a while.

And at this moment, a loud shout almost exploded in everyone's ears!

"Come on! Come over here and chase me!"

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a dishevelled voice suddenly coming from the flames. He shouted wildly and ran quickly towards the burning exit.

Behind Chu Xiao, the huge monster also revealed its ferocious face behind the flames. It stared at Chu Xiao, as if it could not see anything else at all.

Chu Xiao calculated the distance between himself and the Gu King. When he was about to reach the exit, he suddenly twisted his feet, abruptly changed the direction of his movement, and rolled to the other side.

The Gu King, who had been chasing Chu Xiao, had no time to react due to his huge body and burns, and his huge body crashed directly into the blown-open door!

With a loud roar, the road leading to the ground was finally knocked open by this terrifying monster!

The survivors who had been trapped underground for a long time finally saw the way to the surface.

(ps: I got home too late and wrote this in a hurry. If there are any mistakes or omissions, I will correct them later.)

Chapter 81 Collision

Zhou Wanmeng is now in a state of extreme anxiety.

The sudden chaos made this young girl confused. Her mind was like a mess. She looked at the zombies and blood rats pouring into the shelter downstairs, and the well-equipped men in black fighting, and she had no idea how to deal with it.

But Wang Manyi was the first to calm down. After all, she was a woman who had seen many storms. Faced with life-threatening danger, her first reaction after calming down was to look for a chance to turn things around.

Although the current situation is somewhat beyond expectations, it has completely exposed the power in Sun Baishi's hands and also caused great losses.

This shelter is finished.

Although the current situation is extremely dangerous, if it were not for the current situation, she and Zhou Wanmeng would probably not have a chance to turn things around no matter how long they waited.

The flame of ambition burned in the woman's eyes. She pulled Zhou Wanmeng up from the ground, pressed her hands hard on the girl's cheeks, put their foreheads together, and their noses together, and stared into Zhou Wanmeng's eyes at a very close distance: "Calm down!"

This low shout made Zhou Wanmeng's heart tremble violently. He finally came to his senses and his brain regained the ability to think.

She staggered a few steps, finally stood still, looked at Wang Manyi, and asked, "But, what should we do now?"

"Now is the chance!" Wang Manyi pressed Zhou Wanmeng's shoulders hard. The fire burning in her eyes seemed to ignite the bewildered girl as well. "Now, the order of the shelter has collapsed. It's all over here! Although it's a little early, the opportunity we've been waiting for has finally arrived."

She pointed at the chaotic crowd below and said, "Once the animals rush out of the cage, they will never be willing to go back into the cage. What we need to do now is to gather these people around us and build a new force of our own!"

Zhou Wanmeng took several deep breaths, and she suppressed her trembling voice and asked, "Can I... do it?"

"Didn't we make preparations before for times like this?" Wang Manyi showed great self-confidence. This kind of inner strength made Zhou Wanmeng, who had also suffered hardships, envious and even a little yearning.

"Let me teach you one more thing. People in panic are easy to control to some extent." That was a smile full of ambition, but it gave Zhou Wanmeng a great sense of security at the moment. "People in panic are like sheep. At this time, they will easily regard a clear voice as a life-saving straw and hold on to it tightly. Because they need instructions, direction, and a louder voice telling them that you can survive."

"We...should take this opportunity to be the 'leader'?" Zhou Wanmeng understood a little.

"No, we want to be 'sheepdogs'." Wang Manyi pinched Zhou Wanmeng's cheek.

During Zhou Wanmeng's short career as a supervisor, she always followed Wang Manyi's instructions, appearing in front of the survivors as much as possible, trying her best to show kindness, and using small actions to imply her sympathy for these poor people and her dissatisfaction with Sun Baishi.

For those survivors who have become numb from the torture, this kindness is enough to leave a warm mark in their hearts.

Wang Manyi, on the other hand, possessed majesty. In the early days of the shelter, Wang Manyi was the de facto director of the shelter. She used her superb means to resolve many conflicts in the shelter. Although many of her actions at the time were intended to scheme against the police in the shelter, it is undeniable that her authority was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Moreover, after the turmoil in the shelter, Wang Manyi suddenly "disappeared" and was issued a "wanted order" by Sun Baishi, becoming a victim of the resistance against the devil.

So, when these two people appeared at the stairs and shouted to the survivors below, most people's first reaction was to find the backbone and immediately gathered around the two "supervisors".

Looking at the eyes of these survivors, Zhou Wanmeng vaguely discovered that she, a small, pitiful high school girl, had transformed herself into the hope that a large group of people relied on.

……

On the other side, at the gate of the shelter, an agile figure rushed in like a ghost.
