Chapter 338 The Bad Guy
"After passing this line of defense, the outside is the zombies' territory. Are you ready?"
Hu Meng took a deep breath, grasped his halberd tightly, and looked at his friends.
"We're ready!" The teammates nodded one after another, with determination and nervousness revealed in their eyes.
"Stay alert, don't get separated, and follow the team closely. Our goal is to reach the first stop."
"it is good!"
The seven people climbed over the defense line in one go. The further they went down, the more low howls of zombies came from the forest. Trees can provide hiding places for the living, and they are also convenient for zombies to launch sneak attacks.
The mountains and forests are much cooler than the cities in summer, but Hu Meng feels like she is about to explode with heat.
"Hush!" The sharp-eyed Zhu Lin noticed several staggering figures in front of him on the right and quickly winked.
They advocate avoiding it if possible, trying to conserve their energy and not getting involved in unnecessary fights.
Jin Ke pulled out a homemade slingshot from his waist, took out a small stone from his pocket, and shot it far away.
With a "click" sound, he was attracted over.
Along the way, the zombies they encountered were the initial type that moved slowly and liked to move in groups, so the method of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was the most effective.
Going down the mountain takes more time and is more tiring than going up. They took turns to replenish their water. When they looked at the time, it was already past 3 p.m. They had to spend the night at the bank at the foot of the mountain before dark.
"There's a path along the cliff ahead. We're heavily armed, so be careful and stick to it," Deng Ronghao reminded his friends.
The path along the cliff was only wide enough for one person to pass at a time, and just as they were heading forward.
“Aww!”
Three zombies, half covered in mud, crawled out of a hole under the big tree, grabbed the calves of Yang Yun, Gao Xin and Chen Jiale and pulled them into the hole.
Hu Meng was startled and immediately swung the steel halberd to pierce the head of the zombie that grabbed Yang Yun's leg. Gao Xin was dragged to the ground. Seeing that the zombie was about to bite her leg, she smashed the face of the man-eating creature with a powerful mud fist, then swung it to the right, cleaning up the zombies beside it and blocking the hole under the tree.
"Are you okay? Hurry up, they are coming!" Gao Xin got up from the ground and urged.
The friend was stunned for a few seconds and hurried to catch up.
"I almost forgot, Gao Xin's reaction ability is amazing!" Jin Ke gave a thumbs up, and the others nodded in agreement.
The path was difficult to walk on, so they carefully moved forward step by step, sticking to the mountain wall. There was a cliff next to them, where they would be crushed to pieces if they fell off.
"Why didn't we feel anything when we went up the mountain before? It's so scary going down the mountain." Zhu Lin took a look and felt his legs go weak and his heart turn cold.
"Don't keep looking down, just focus on moving forward." Chen Jiale was behind Zhu Lin and saw that his legs were shaking.
The seven of them ran away quickly and were not caught up by the zombies. Jin Ke walked at the back, always keeping an eye on the movements behind, while Hu Meng led the way in front.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
Suddenly, shouting sounds were heard in the quiet forest, followed by the collapse of trees and the flying of dust.
"They... are... down there. Quick, put me down, Chen Tao!"
Yang Lei's voice was hovering over the heads of Hu Meng and his group. They couldn't help but look up, and a head popped out, with a face full of fear and screaming.
"Oh my god, I can't stand this bitch who keeps saying this. Gao Xin, can you shut Yang Lei's stinky mouth?"
"It's too high and can't be sealed." Gao Xin frowned and said.
"Leilei, you go down first, be careful." Chen Tao threw out a vine, tied it around Yang Lei's waist, and let her down.
"Zhu Lin, Jia Le, you have to protect Yang Lei."
Chen Tao shouted loudly, and the echo was so loud that half the mountain was boiling and in chaos.
Not long after they left, Chen Tao, He Fuquan and Ding Yuan thought about it and felt that what Hu Meng said made some sense, so they deliberately packed up their things in a hurry in front of others, causing panic among their companions.
In the end, everyone went down, trying to catch up with Hu Meng and his group.
There were so many people and the noise was so loud that the zombies chased and bit them crazily. A large group of people were forced to the edge and were so anxious that their superpowers flew around. They didn't care about the cliffs and used their strength to escape downwards, causing the gravel to slide. They didn't care about the lives of the seven people on the path at all.
"Catch me quickly, quickly!" Yang Lei was sent down, screaming.
Chen Jiale caught Yang Lei, and then Chen Tao and others also fell onto the path.
When the others saw that Chen Tao and the others were safely landed, they were extremely anxious. They didn't care about anything else and used various ways to escape, taking those without special abilities to the small road.
"Go, make room for them!"
"Don't rush me, it's too high, I'm scared." Yang Lei was so scared that she couldn't move.
Chen Jiale had to patiently coax Yang Lei, but he still didn't move.
The cliff was full of people walking down. The zombies were getting closer and closer, and they jumped off the cliff in order to eat their meat.
"Zombies are coming down, be careful!!"
"Don't get caught by them!" Hu Meng shouted.
But the crowd was so chaotic that I couldn't hear anything.
Zombies kept jumping down from the cliff, grabbing with their hands. Those who couldn't stop were directly dragged off the cliff, and some fell on people. The scene was filled with heart-wrenching wails.
The seven people tried their best to catch the person who fell and dragged him to the path.
Just when everyone was in a panic, Jin Ke noticed zombies appearing behind him and heading straight for the path. They didn't care how narrow the path was. When they saw the living people, they rushed forward frantically. They didn't even have their feet firmly on the ground and fell off the cliff in a group.
"Zombies are coming from behind, people in front, hurry up!!" Jin Ke reminded loudly.
Hearing that the zombies were chasing after them, Yang Lei immediately moved, leaving Chen Jiale behind and yelling at the people in front to hurry up.
It turns out that she is pretending to be weak, which makes Chen Jiale very angry.
Hu Meng did not stop. She was the first to walk out of the path and turned back to help her friends behind her.
"Ouch-"
Five zombies jumped out of the bushes and rushed towards Hu Meng. She dodged to the side and stabbed the zombies' chests with her steel halberd.
However, more zombies appeared from all directions, and there were dangers all around. A lot of time had been wasted, and they had to break through!
Hu Meng brandished the steel halberd, blocking and stabbing left and right. At the same time, teammates came to support him, and everyone used their special powers to fight their way out.
They were chased by zombies all the way and they mainly relied on defense on the road, but there were too many of them and they couldn't get rid of them.
"Jia Le, throw the smoke bomb quickly!!"
As soon as the smoke bomb was released, white smoke filled the air instantly. After the zombies inhaled the smoke, their movements gradually slowed down, changing from their manic state.
In this way, they escaped the zombies' pursuit and successfully reached the bank.
The dilapidated bank was littered with broken glass.
After everyone was inside, Gao Xin and Hu Meng filled up the hole in the bank. They had to rest here tonight and set off again tomorrow morning.
"See... this smoke bomb is not an ordinary smoke bomb, it's a drug that can... paralyze zombies!" Ding Yuan exclaimed.
