Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Just as An Suxin expected, after the zombie tide, the shelter's defenses were useless, and those armed men in black retreated into the shelter, completely caught in a melee with blood rats and zombies. Ruan Mengmeng managed to get in without much effort.

She noticed that some of the survivors were desperately fleeing upstairs, and the people who gathered this group of people were actually her classmates.

——Zhou Wanmeng?

Ruan Mengmeng looked at the girl from a distance, wondering how she had changed so much since the last time they met. The last time she saw her, she was still a pitiful and unlucky person, tortured by that bastard Feng Junnian to the point of wanting to commit suicide, but this time, she had become the leader of a large group of people?

Ruan Mengmeng's curiosity only flashed by, and soon, her attention was diverted from her old classmate - Zhou Wanmeng had her own experience, but it had nothing to do with her. She now had only one goal, to find Brother Xiao and reunite with him.

A blood rat pounced from the blind spot of her vision. The girl didn't even raise her head to look, the long sword in her hand was unsheathed, and then sheathed in an instant, and the blood rat was cut in half in mid-air.

At this moment, a zombie suddenly appeared in Ruan Mengmeng's field of vision and turned back to look at her. It was a zombie that looked like a woman, and her face had long been completely changed. Her body was pale like a corpse. This should have been just an ordinary zombie that posed no threat to her, but the moment she saw it, her keen intuition made Ruan Mengmeng's hair stand on end instantly. A huge sense of crisis came over her, and she subconsciously prepared to draw her sword.

——What’s going on!

Before the girl had time to think, she heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the underground supermarket, as if something was about to rush out from underground, followed by another violent explosion.

A huge roar suddenly sounded, and from behind the closed door, a huge figure burning with flames suddenly rushed up from underground!

The monster let out a huge roar, which frightened everyone in the shelter!

Who could have imagined that such a terrifying monster could be born in a closed underground garage!

As soon as the monster appeared, the strange zombie immediately shifted its target away from Ruan Mengmeng, as if there was something very important on the newly appeared monster that attracted it. The monster that rushed out from the ground also immediately shifted its target to the strange zombie.

Ruan Mengmeng felt the pressure suddenly relieved after getting a chance to breathe. She quickly left this dangerous place and moved closer to a safe place. At the same time, she began to think about why that strange trembling feeling made her feel a little... familiar?

——That zombie, after killing a blood rat, seemed to have suddenly turned its attention to me...

Suddenly, the girl's eyes widened in disbelief.

...Could that zombie be the "Queen"?

(ps: Is anyone interested in the lesbian relationship between the bad woman and the poor fellow?)

Chapter 82 Metamorphosis

This is a residential building not far from the shelter.

Since the occupancy rate of this building was not high, after the disaster, some survivors moved in and used this building as a base. Although the number of people was far less than that of the large evacuation center in the commercial square, there were still nearly a hundred people, which was still a large group.

A ragged team approached the building cautiously. They had originally left the building to search for supplies, but were trapped by zombies for five days. Just when the supplies were about to run out and the men were ready to die, the zombies blocking them suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something and ran away in the blink of an eye.

The few people didn't know what happened to lure away the zombies, but this good luck from heaven finally allowed them to escape death.

The zombies nearby had almost disappeared, and they encountered no danger at all, approaching the stronghold safely.

The residential building was right in front of them, and the tense nerves of the team members finally relaxed a little. They fantasized about quickly reuniting with their relatives in the base, and fantasized about having a good sleep on the soft bed.

There were no signs of zombies downstairs in the residential building, but the whole building was filled with an eerie sense of silence.

A strong sense of uneasiness emerged in the hearts of the survivors of the team.

The main door of the residential building, which should have been closed, was now open. There were long-dried bloodstains on the ground, and a strong smell of blood came out from the dark door. It was broad daylight, but it made people feel cold all over.

They looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. They wanted to turn around and run, but they couldn't because their family members were still in the building.

The walls of the residential building were covered with a layer of red spider-web-like material, as if bright red flesh and blood had eroded into the wall. The wall eroded by flesh and blood looked extremely fragile, and a hole would be smashed in it with a little force.

The building was dead silent, there were no monsters... and no living people.

The team searched the entire building, but could not find any of their companions who had stayed in the base. The hearts of the team members had sunk. They did not think that the people who stayed in the building had left, because there were large pieces of blood clots that had dried to black on the walls and the ground.

However, apart from the bloodstains, they didn't even see a single body... Even if they were attacked by zombies, there should be at least one or two remains left...

Finally, everyone came to the only room that had not been checked. All the bloodstains on the ground gathered in this room, and there were countless tiny bloody footprints on the walls... They seemed to be the footprints of some kind of rodent.

Walking into the room, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

The room, which was over 100 square meters, was occupied by a huge blood-red cocoon. Countless red flesh and blood stretched out and attached to the wall, like red dry branches. Similarly, the flesh and blood also seeped into the wall. The erosion of this room was particularly serious. The erosion of the entire residential building started from here.

In the center of the blood cocoon, there seemed to be the "remains" of a giant monster. It was an ugly monster made up of countless flesh and blood, with dried human limbs growing all around it. In the center of the remains was a "flower" made of flesh and blood, but it had completely withered.

The vast majority of the monster's body was made up of hundreds of dried human bodies. These bodies, which seemed to have been melted and sucked dry, were embedded in the surface of the blood cocoon, as if they had been twisted into a ball by a huge force. Even the painful and hideous expressions before death were still clearly visible.

The team of survivors finally found their family and companions in this mass of dried flesh.

All the survivors in the entire building were eaten alive by something in this blood cocoon!

Obviously, not long after they left here, the monster entered their stronghold and used this place as its lair, and the people who stayed in the stronghold all became the monster's food.

The team members who lost their loved ones and companions were naturally extremely sad and angry, but they also felt a little fortunate because the monster had left the blood cocoon.

There was a hole on the surface of the blood cocoon that was more than the size of a person, and the inside was empty.

……

Chu Xiao sat on the ground gasping for breath. The air he breathed seemed to be burning, and the burning sensation seemed to burn into his lungs.

Gu Ke rushed over with Yun Duoer, and was relieved to see that Chu Xiao was fine.

It was no longer possible to stay in the supermarket. It had almost turned into a fire scene. Chu Xiao felt as if he was about to be roasted after staying there for one more minute.

"Something must have happened up there." Gu Ke looked up at the passage created by the Gu King. Screams, roars and gunshots were heard coming from above.

They were not in a hurry to go up from here. Not to mention whether the Gu King would come back to attack them, they knew nothing about the situation above. If they rushed up blindly, they might be caught by Sun Baishi's men again.

Chu Xiao's original intention was to let the Gu King rush up first to surprise the guards on the first floor, and then they would take advantage of the chaos to go up. But now it seems that the shelter was already in chaos before the Gu King went up.

Enduring the scorching heat in the supermarket, Chu Xiao waited patiently for a moment. Seeing that there was no movement, he gestured to Zhang Zhan. A group of people immediately quickly and carefully passed through the still burning door, and with the help of the accumulated obstacles, they climbed up the escalator that had collapsed for the most part, and finally returned to the ground again.

The scene that came into view caught Chu Xiao off guard.

When he heard the noise down there, he wondered if something had happened in the shelter, but it was clear that what had happened was more serious than he had expected.

——It shouldn’t have been a long time since I was trapped down there. How come I encountered a “Zombie Rising” right after I came up?

The gate of the shelter has been captured by zombies. A large number of zombies rushed into the shelter and fought with a group of well-equipped men in black. Chu Xiao had seen these men in black before he went down. They were the secret force in Sun Baishi's hands.

Moreover, in addition to the zombies, Chu Xiao actually saw a considerable number of blood rats!

Compared to zombies, this thing cast a much greater shadow on Chu Xiao. He thought: How did this thing get out?

He looked around nervously, fearing that he would see the terrifying "queen" of the blood rats. Among all the monsters Chu Xiao had experienced, the blood rat queen was the first and most bizarre and terrifying monster he had ever seen.

——Fortunately, fortunately, that ghost thing seems to be gone.

At this time, a huge figure flew past Chu Xiao and hit the wall not far away heavily. The huge force even caused the wall to dent.

Chu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and it took him some time to realize that the Gu King, who had just chased him like a dog, was actually knocked away by something in front of him.

He looked to the other side and saw a female zombie that was unrecognizable. It was a strange pale white, and its body seemed to be covered with a layer of pale net, which looked like tattered clothes at first glance.

...It was this one that knocked such a huge Gu King flying?

The zombie seemed to notice Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao's hair stood on end, and a familiar shudder instantly crept over his body. Yun Duo'er, who was more sensitive, screamed in fear and trembled in Chu Xiao's arms.

She trembled and whispered two words in Chu Xiao's ear: "Run away..."

(ps: The Queen’s second appearance, the second form must be full of style and oppression!)

Chapter 83 Duel

Chu Xiao didn't need Yun Duo'er to remind him at all, he immediately realized that this seemingly ordinary zombie was a terrifying monster that was almost more dangerous than the Gu King.

"Come on!"

Chu Xiao held Yun Duoer in one hand and Gu Ke in the other. He called out loudly to Zhang Zhan and the others, then immediately ran away from the strange zombie.

After finally escaping from underground, he didn't want to face such a terrifying thing right away. Moreover, Chu Xiao clearly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from this zombie.

Fortunately, this terrifying zombie did not completely focus on Chu Xiao and the others. The overturned Gu King struggled to get up from the rubble. During the violent rolling and collision, only a few small flames were left on its back. The scaly back was charred black, and the tentacles were burned to charcoal.

Obviously, the Molotov cocktail still caused considerable damage to the Gu King, affecting its combat power to a certain extent. However, after the flames were extinguished, the charcoal on the Gu King's back continued to fall off, and the wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Tentacles with barbs regrew from under the scales, and since they were newly grown, these tentacles clearly still had sticky liquid on them.

Self-healing ability is a very common ability among these doomsday monsters. Even for Chu Xiao himself, after being over-strengthened, his wounds heal very quickly.

Countless tentacles protruded from under the scales of the Gu King. The barbs on each tentacle had already opened, and the tip of the tentacle was as sharp as a spear. These densely packed tentacles slowly spread out in all directions, like a giant beast slowly spreading its wings, and the tips of all the tentacles were aimed at the strange zombie not far away. This was a preparation before the war, and also a demonstration. The Gu King's already hideous image, coupled with this action, brought a huge sense of oppression that almost made the onlookers breathless.

This king of the underground space finally encountered a terrible opponent after the Gu-raising game. Its instinct told it that this tiny fellow possessed a power that was no less than its own. It was walking on another path, and like it, it had also approached the insurmountable step.

In fact, its level of evolution is even higher, and it is closer to crossing that step.

Therefore, if it can devour this fellow, it will be able to absorb the other party's long-term evolutionary accumulation and climb that step again.

The strange female zombie quietly moved towards the Gu King's position. Suddenly, it let out a piercing scream.

Chu Xiao, who was running away, was startled when he heard the sound - he had heard this shriek before and was deeply impressed!

This is the sound made by the Blood Rat Queen when she controls her swarm of rats!

——It’s you!

As if to confirm Chu Xiao's conjecture, countless blood-red giant rats rushed over from all directions and pounced on the Gu King's huge body like crazy. In an instant, the Gu King's huge body seemed to be covered with a blood-red blanket. The blood rats obeyed the queen's instructions and bit the Gu King's body fearlessly. This scene was like a colony of ants attacking an elephant.

The Gu King would not sit still and wait for death. Those tentacles danced quickly, and those barbs easily pierced the blood rats and tore them into pieces. For a time, the queen's rat group suffered a huge loss, but the number of blood rats was too large. If some were killed, more blood rats would rush up soon.

However, the scales on the Gu King's body brought him extremely strong defense. After all, he was a monster that won the Gu-raising game. He could even ignore the flames of a Molotov cocktail. How could a group of rats kill him so easily? He rushed towards the Queen with blood all over his body, roaring.

The pale body of the queen changed. The blue-gray skin gradually turned bloody. The pale corpse turned into fresh meat that seemed to be dripping with blood. One after another, the blood rats rushed towards their queen, contributing their flesh and blood to her. Soon, as countless blood rats gathered around her, the flesh and blood on the queen's body quickly squirmed, and her whole body gradually expanded. In just a few breaths, she turned back into a huge monster that was the same size as the Gu King!

The queen saw a crack on her abdomen, which gradually opened in a cross shape and turned into a bloody mouth full of fangs. In this bloody mouth, countless twisted and hideous human faces were screaming in despair!

The two hideous and strange monsters were fighting with all their might, and Chu Xiao and the others could only flee in panic during the battle. Thanks to the two monsters' mutual hostility, the pressure on the living people present was greatly reduced. However, their biggest problem now was not the Gu King or the blood rats, but the increasing number of zombies!

The gate of the shelter had completely lost its function of blocking the enemy. Although most of the zombies attracted by Chu Yan's blood were eliminated by the heavy weapons of the men in black, the blood rats had intruded and the defense line had collapsed. Even the remaining zombies were quite numerous. Although the remaining men in black in the shelter were still fighting hard, they were still at a great disadvantage in the face of the surging zombie tide and their numbers were constantly decreasing.

This chaos prevented Chu Xiao and others from being caught by Sun Baishi's men right from the start, but it did put them among a surging group of zombies right from the start.

Several women in Zhang Zhan's team managed to escape from underground alive, but died on the ground in the mouths of zombies. Zhang Zhan, Dian Yihan and others could only try their best to protect them. They still had some Molotov cocktails left, so they simply lit them and threw them at the zombies, causing flames to fly everywhere.

Chu Xiao took Yun Duo'er and fled with Gu Ke in the zombie swarm. There were too many zombies, and Chu Xiao had to protect Yun Duo'er. Soon they were separated from Zhang Zhan and others, and were surrounded by the zombie swarm. Chu Xiao gritted his teeth and prepared to use the steel pipe in his hand to force his way out, when he heard a clear voice: "Brother Xiao! Go on!"

A familiar shotgun was tossed over.

Chu Xiao raised his hand to take the shotgun, then aimed at the zombies and pulled the trigger! With a gunshot, the scattered bullets cleared a bloody path for Chu Xiao, and at the same time, a bright silver light and a pair of shocking long legs also came into his sight.

"Mengmeng!"

The tall and slender figure of the girl was like a black swan dancing in the bloody storm. She moved lightly among the corpses without any unnecessary movements.

Chu Xiao immediately went up to her and hugged Ruan Mengmeng's beautiful body tightly.

"Brother Xiao!" Ruan Mengmeng was very excited after finally meeting an important person. She even had the urge to kiss this man hard.

However, both parties knew that the current situation did not allow for this, and they separated after a brief hug.

Ruan Mengmeng also took the opportunity to touch Yun Duo'er's smooth little face.

"Mengmeng, why are you here?" Fighting side by side with Ruan Mengmeng gave Chu Xiao more confidence.

"Sister Su Xin and Sister Yan asked me to come and pick you up, Brother Xiao." Ruan Mengmeng said as she continued to practice martial arts, dancing with the long sword in her hand. "They are waiting outside now. Once they get in touch, they will drive over to pick us up."

As they talked and acted, Ruan Mengmeng also took a closer look at Gu Ke beside Chu Xiao, thinking that this beautiful woman was the "tie" that Xiao Ge had been thinking about. Coincidentally, their eyes met, but this was not the time to greet new sisters, so they just nodded to each other without saying much.

There were too many zombies leaving the shelter, so Chu Xiao and the others had no choice but to move upstairs temporarily. At this moment, in the chaos, a haughty and arrogant voice resounded throughout the shelter: "A bunch of rubbish! You can't even solve this kind of thing! You have to rely on me to step in!"

The sound was like the unpleasant noise made by two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other.

Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng both looked disgusted as if they had eaten a fly, and Gu Ke frowned as he listened.

"Tsk, it looks like the 'chosen one' is about to enter the arena as well."

(ps: The situation of the decisive battle is quite complicated, and the entanglement of several forces is easy to mess up, so let me sort it out again.)

Chapter 84 Hatred

Feng Junnian's image changed greatly again. His muscles bulged, his body was huge, and there was an extra layer of black stratum corneum on the surface of his limbs, like armor.

Along with it, there appeared a group of monster-like humanoid creatures. These were all failed products of the West District experiment, and they were exactly what Chu Xiao had seen in those bottles and jars in the West District before. These monsters were originally survivors in the shelter. Because they showed high adaptability to the virus, they were deceived and sent to the West District to become experimental subjects.
