Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 390 - 388: Climber (Part 2)

Xu Renjie snapped out of his shock immediately!

He first shifted into reverse to throw off the zombies trying to climb, then accelerated forward sharply. After knocking away a few nearby zombies, he swiftly opened the car door and dashed out.

Li Xiaoxin was frantically swinging his right leg, trying to break free from the "Climber," but unexpectedly, the latter’s strength was immense. Not only could he not break free, but he also seemed to be on the verge of falling.

Fortunately, Xu Renjie arrived with timely support; otherwise, even if Li Xiaoxin wasn’t bitten to death by zombies, he’d likely have fallen to the ground from fatigue in his arms.

Tang Xiaoquan followed closely behind, rushing out of the car, brandishing a knife in a defensive posture while shouting to the warriors behind him: "Who knows how to drive? Get to the driver’s seat quickly!"

But at this moment, Lei Tong was entangled with the monster that had climbed onto the car, and the remaining three were all focused on the monsters at the rear of the vehicle, paying no attention to Tang Xiaoquan’s inquiry.

Working together, the two restrained the monster’s arms from both sides, pulling it away from Lei Tong. Once it was completely upright, Wang Qiang, who was waiting nearby, wordlessly thrust a spear into the monster’s skull with a stoic expression.

"Thanks!" Lei Tong flipped up like a carp, not allowing himself any time for gratitude in such a perilous moment.

"Hey! Does anyone here know how to drive? Can’t any of you do it?" Seeing the monster about to attack again, a desperate Tang Xiaoquan raised his voice and shouted!

"I can! What’s up?" Zhang Zhicai answered, though he was a medical student, he possessed basic driving skills.

"Great! Little Zhang, hurry to the driver’s seat. These beasts can’t just be dealt with by force!"

Through previous collisions, Tang Xiaoquan clearly realized that these newly encountered creatures, whether in power, burst, or impact speed, had considerable enhancements compared to ordinary zombies.

Especially their ability to climb, which not only made killing them more difficult but also posed a huge threat to the brothers standing at the rear.

Watching the frenzied climbers, Zhang Zhicai swallowed hard, then hurriedly jumped out of the car and sprinted to the driver’s seat.

"Bang! Bang!" With two loud crashes, the zombies charging head-on smashed into the city management vehicle, their powerful impact shattered the partially opened window.

Listening to the clatter of falling glass shards, Tang Xiaoquan standing sideways felt a chill down his spine. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, dodging to the side, he might have already...

No time for further thoughts, the narrowly escaping Tang Xiaoquan was not planning to remain on the open ground, left to be slaughtered by the "Climbing Car".

He stepped quickly up to the window, raised his knife, and angrily chopped at the monster stuck in the window.

"Crack! Crack, crack!" The sharp blade chopped down on the monster’s neck like cutting through bone, blood and flesh flew, fragments of bone splattered. By the fourth chop, this fiercely strong "Hell Beast" finally slid weakly to the ground.

Ignoring the bloody scene, Tang Xiaoquan pulled open the car door, casually pushed the severed head out of the vehicle, then ducked inside, plopping down on the seat soaked in blood and gore.

Disgust! The stench of decay made Tang Xiaoquan’s stomach churn, even Zhang Zhicai, a medic, couldn’t suppress the urge to gag.

But this wasn’t the time to fuss over such matters, because just as Tang Xiaoquan climbed inside the car, the mutated "beasts" in construction site uniforms were already closing in.

"Watch out! Little Tang!" Zhang Zhicai quickly pulled the still gagging Tang Xiaoquan back, thanks to his swift action, or Tang Xiaoquan’s head might have been smashed by the "Runner" breaking in.

"Damn it!" Upon realizing staying put was certain death, Zhang Zhicai knew only by moving they might "maneuver" through the beasts.

Thus, he naturally thought of driving the car, but before he could grab the gear lever, subsequent impacts nearly had him hit the window.

Tang Xiaoquan wasn’t having a good time either; though he dodged the initial attack, zombies breaking in still thrusted half their heads toward him with a "chomp! chomp!"

Luckily, this was a Pacer; it was only stuck there instinctively biting forward. If it were a "Climber," it would have long since bent its arms and climbed inside, dealing with Tang and Zhang.

"Bang!"

Zhang Zhicai swung his knife at the monster’s skull! But its massive safety helmet thwarted his powerful strike, leaving only a few cracks on the helmet’s surface.

"Damn! Little Tang, hurry and get this monster’s helmet off!"

Tang Xiaoquan found himself unable to speak of his troubles; of course, he wanted to remove the monster’s helmet, but he was completely constrained, in a highly uncomfortable position, coupled with the constant shaking from the vehicle being hit, just avoiding getting bitten was challenging, let alone removing the helmet to defeat the enemy.

Meanwhile, the crisis for two survivors at the back of the vehicle was even more urgent, almost at a life-and-death moment.

Wang Qiang retreated another step, his slightly leaning back colliding perfectly with Lei Tong, also retreating.

It was a rather dramatic scene, considering these two had been unhappy due to Old Zhao and others’ matters just minutes earlier.

Yet now, facing a wave of ferocious beasts charging at them, they entrusted their backs to each other.

No more retreat! The Survivor Team was at a make-or-break moment! The looming shadow of death enveloped them like a giant net.

Yet, the Sharp Blade Company had neither cowards nor companions who’d abandon each other.

Just as Tang Xiaoquan was about to give up hope, a deafening roar sounded beside his ears.

"Little Zhang, start moving the car, quickly get it out of here!"

Xu Renjie’s shout was like a potent stimulant, Zhang Zhicai immediately shook off all distracting thoughts, reached out to grab the gear lever, decisively pushed it into reverse. With a series of continuous maneuvers, the city management vehicle deftly swung around.

Reversing completed!

Seeing his subordinate carry out orders, Xu Renjie, hanging on the outside of the vehicle, said nothing more and directed Li Xiaoxin inside the driver’s cabin harshly: "Little Li! Crush these sons of bitches for me!"

"Yes, Squad Leader!"

Resolute in driving forward, Li Xiaoxin maneuvered the large wheels of the loader like a dough roller, roaring toward the horde of zombies.

The ground trembled instantly as the survivors began their revenge...(To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
