72: Chapter 42: Extinguishing (Part 1)
Large-caliber bullets shattered the windshield of the zombie bus, leaving a long chain of bowl-sized bullet holes in the body of the bus, but it couldn’t stop its progress.
The undead female driver in evening gown displayed exceptional driving skills.
Moreover, two tank zombies rushed in front of the bus to act as meat shields, not giving him another chance to hit.
His calculations were off, and Tang Zheng gnashed his teeth in frustration.
A 300-round bullet chain shattered the heads of three tank zombies, but the next moment another one would take their place, shielding the bus completely.
Seeing this, he decisively ran towards the front of the bus.
Being caught up to by the bus filled with zombies was inevitable.
The only option was to break through the checkpoint as fast as possible, hoping to shake them off.
“This is tough.
They’re too fast.” The bald man fired at the running hunter zombies, but his bullets were all evaded.
Occasionally, he landed a hit, but unfortunately not on their heads.
They merely rolled over and then got up again, continuing their onslaught.
Zhao Jingye, with a somber face, had also not managed to score any kills.
“Your guns can’t blow their heads off.
Guard the rear of the car and give me a delay of a few minutes.” As he was speaking, Tang Zheng had already started firing at the two tank zombies.
The hunter zombies were less than twenty meters away from the bus, and they would pounce in a few seconds.
“You just hold on then.” The bald man and Zhao Jingye exchanged a glance and then retreated in unison.
They were hoping that Tang Zheng could step up because only his Howling Reaper could kill the tank zombies in the shortest time, otherwise they would fall here today.
“Little Tang, you’re not waiting for them to climb onto the bus before attacking, are you?” Seeing Tang Zheng recklessly firing bullets at the tank zombies while ignoring the dozen or so hunter zombies, Lin Weiguo almost understood his strategy and warned, “If even one gets in, we’re in big trouble.”
“Xin Lan, use your Ice Age to freeze the compartment, leaving only the front and rear windows.” Tang Zheng was preparing to go all in.
He had no other options.
Looking at the frozen window, Zhou Zhou was just about to ask what the stewardesses needed to do when Tang Zheng issued his deployment orders.
“Qin Yan, Zhou Zhou, Xu Lu, you three go to the back.
Bai Guo, Pang Meiqin, come here.” Tang Zheng had thought about using the B-Class exemption prop card, but how would they survive the remaining days?
Not to mention, there was still another penalty period to pass.
The zombies would not give Tang Zheng time to hesitate.
A few seconds later, they made full contact with the bus.
The front and rear of the bus were filled with the sound of gunfire and zombies howling, disrupting the tranquil afternoon scenery.
The shrill screams of the bikini-clad zombie not only drove the other zombies mad but also made their actions more agile.
These monsters fearlessly charged against the bullets, desperately trying to break into the compartment and bite the humans in front of them.
Luckily, everyone was using the MG42 machine gun, renowned as the “cloth tearer”, which provided enough firepower and did not require frequent clip changes.
Otherwise, they would have been broken through by the zombies long ago.
However, when the tank zombies pounced, the situation changed drastically.
“Throw a grenade, don’t hold back!” Tang Zheng could no longer afford to direct, as the onslaught of the hunter zombies kept him busy.
Lin Weiguo glanced at the rearview mirror and took over the commanding.
“Pang Meiqin, you’re firing too quickly.” the long-legged stewardess crouched on the ground, holding the MG42 that originally belonged to Lin Weiguo.
She kept the trigger pressed, sweeping away at the zombies, but the effect was not significant.
Those hit by the bullets tended to somersault backward due to the inertia of the bullets, then would immediately get up and continue their charge.
Even if their arms or legs were broken, as long as their heads weren’t blown away, they would not stop attacking.
“Bai Guo, fire.” On hearing the command, Bai Guo lifted the M4A1 carbine and fired a burst.
Seizing this opportunity, Tang Zheng wanted to ditch the Howling Reaper and take the machine gun from Pang Meiqin.
However, the hunter zombie lunged at Tang Zheng with great speed, the M4A1 simply wouldn’t be able to fend them off.
Amidst the constant firing, a hunter braved the bullets and lunged through the front window of the bus, biting at Lin Weiguo.
Tang Zheng had no time to grab his gun and adopt a shooting stance.
His left hand formed a fist and struck out at the first one, his right hand swiftly drew the curved knife strapped to his calf and slashed brutally.
Half a zombie was cleaved apart, splattering Lin Weiguo with fresh blood.
Then the second one lunged, giving Tang Zheng no time to catch his breath.
Bang, Lin Weiguo steered the car with his right hand, while his left tugged out a M1911A1, firing at the top half of the hunter zombie.
Lucky for him, the creature’s head explodes.
As Bai Guo’s clip ran out, he realized they couldn’t go on like this.
Decisively throwing away his carbine, he squatted to reload the Howling Reaper.
At last, Pang Meiqin had gotten the hang of it and began to fire continuously at those closest to the bus.
“At least you’re not total idiots.” Tang Zheng managed to repel two more zombies, their onslaught finally slowed a little, giving Tang Zheng the chance to pick up the Howling Reaper and open fire.
However, the last two tank zombies had also pounced upon him.
At such close range, Tang Zheng could only kill one with his frenzied gunfire.
“Watch out, I’m changing direction.” Lin Weiguo tried his utmost, unfortunately, he couldn’t avoid the last one.
Its enormous bulk rammed the bus from the side under the shrieking of the bikini zombie, causing an obvious pause and change in direction.
The tires left a black trace on the highway.
The impact knocked everyone off balance.
Tang Zheng quickly regained his balance and aimed at the tank zombie clinging to the bus.
The zombie swung a fist at the driver’s seat.
Lin Weiguo quickly stood up and extended his right fist.
Even the slightest resistance would help.
If he or the vehicle was hit by this special infectee, they’d surely be swarmed by the following zombies.
The punch broke Lin Weiguo’s right hand, and the entire upper half of his body was smashed into the seat.
However, the driver’s seat was preserved.
At such close proximity, Tang Zheng naturally didn’t miss.
It took just six seconds to blow the tank zombie’s head apart.
He immediately reached for the steering wheel as the bus started to swerve out of control.
Lin Weiguo’s left hand reached out first,
“How are you?” Tang Zheng attempted to summon the female musketeer, but she was still on cooldown.
Lin Weiguo didn’t respond.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and imperceptibly shook his head.
His sternum was fractured in multiple places, and his right arm was broken.
It was only through sheer willpower that he kept the bus moving.
“Qin Yan, come drive.”
Tang Zheng was incredibly frustrated at that moment, regretting not having a driving license.
Coinciding with his regret were the pleas from several stewardesses calling out for Xu Lu.
Tang Zheng’s heart gave a jolt, and he whipped around to see what was happening.
