Don't think that two or three hundred zombies are a small number. They are monsters completely devoid of pain, like perpetual motion machines. As long as their heads aren't shattered, they will never die. Upon seeing a living person, it's as if a switch has been flipped, and they immediately enter a state of extreme excitement and attack.
Zombies are the living dead.
Compared to the few dozen humans at the rest stop, most of whom have no combat experience, they only have two guns and a limited supply of precious bullets. Their stamina will be exhausted, and their spirits will break.
If this continues...
We might really die here!
Chu Han and Chen Shaoye desperately swung their axes, managing to barely hold the stairwell. As time rapidly passed, more and more zombies died. Their bodies, in a chaotic and grotesque manner, piled up on the stairs, their thick, dark, viscous fluid covering everything. The corpses gradually formed a barricade, and the zombies behind them had to climb even harder to get closer.
Correspondingly, it became even more difficult for them to get out, as a large number of zombies completely blocked the passage, making it impossible to move.
Chu Han didn't know how long he had been mechanically swinging his axe. He only felt like his arms were about to break, and the muscles in his back were on the verge of collapse from the high-intensity exertion.
Chen Shaoye was already exhausted, like a dog. He was completely drenched in sweat, as if he had been soaked in water.
Shang Jiudi had also shot and killed several zombies during this time, but the effect was minimal. Unlike humans, shooting zombies in their limbs or even their hearts was useless. Their heads had to be accurately hit. In such a dense and chaotic situation, even with her excellent marksmanship, she couldn't guarantee hitting a zombie's vital spot with every shot.
After all, the remaining bullets weren't many.
Chu Han didn't have the time to worry about Ye Tianlong and the others. At this critical juncture of fighting zombies, even the slightest mistake could mean facing death directly.
A few people alone couldn't deal with so many zombies. Some people joined the fight, but the effect was negligible. Many were accidentally injured by zombies and quickly fell into a coma, gradually becoming zombified, which made everyone even more hesitant to come forward.
Everyone was sweating profusely. Gradually, the fortress formed by the zombies in front of them grew higher, already reaching a meter in height.
Looking out, their eyes were almost fatigued from overuse. Their vision was filled with black and red blood and yellowish brain matter, with severed limbs and broken arms scattered everywhere like a mass grave.
But the infected showed no signs of retreating. They still rushed forward relentlessly, desperately swinging their arms and claws, letting out excited, beast-like roars.
Their pairs of bone-white pupils were like an endless abyss.
Trapped in such an environment, let alone fighting hard for several hours, just a glance would be enough to scare someone into a faint.
Zhang Ziyu and Gu Xiaotong had already disappeared somewhere. They weren't stupid; the current situation was clearly a dead end, and they didn't want to die. Other survivors had also hidden themselves, afraid to face the zombies, especially such a massive horde!
"Boss." Chen Shaoye was already a bit disoriented, but his axe-swinging movements didn't stop. "Are we going to die?"
Fear and despair filled everyone's hearts.
Chu Han didn't answer. Just as his vision was blurring and he was about to collapse from exhaustion—
"200 points, condition for upgrading physical fitness to Tier 1 achieved."
The Reforging System's voice!
He could upgrade his physical fitness?! Chu Han's eyes suddenly lit up, his heart filled with joy. Unknowingly, he and Chen Shaoye had killed so many zombies!
"Ah—"
Eighteen's scream suddenly interrupted Chu Han's thoughts. His heart leaped. As he turned his head, he saw Ye Tianlong grinning as he snatched the assault rifle from Eighteen's hand. In his other hand—
He violently lifted Eighteen's small body and, in an extremely cruel and bloody manner, threw her towards the zombie horde at the bottom of the stairs!
Ye Tianlong knew his chance had come!
Everyone was struggling now. The mechanical fight against the zombies had made everyone unconsciously lower their guard against their companions. No one expected Ye Tianlong to strike from behind during a life-or-death struggle against zombies!
How foolish and cruel this was!
Eighteen was only twelve years old. After hours of high tension, she couldn't react at all. Her gun was instantly snatched away, and her small body was uncontrollably thrown by Ye Tianlong, flying in a parabola towards the zombie horde opposite them.
There were countless pairs of greyish-black rotten arms, with sharp nails filled with filth. The zombies were excited. After rushing forward for a long time, they could only smell human flesh but couldn't get any into their mouths. Now, food was finally delivered to them. They were already impatient, opening their starved and insatiable mouths, revealing incredibly large, rotten gums, and desperately swarming towards Eighteen, wanting to tear her apart, grab her thighs and arms, and gnaw them clean!
Eighteen's delicate and cute face was filled with despair and endless fear. Her pink puffy dress seemed about to be torn apart, swallowed by the sea of corpses.
"Little Eighteen—" Shang Jiudi's heart skipped a beat, and her whole body turned as cold as an ice cellar!
"Beast!" Chen Shaoye let out an angry roar. That was a twelve-year-old girl!
The annihilation of humanity made him collapse. He stretched out his fat arms, trying to pull Eighteen back before she fell into the zombie horde.
But someone was faster than him—
"Physical Fitness Tier 1! Upgrade!"
A dark figure rushed out like a phantom, stepping on a zombie's head and leaping up. The force was so great that it directly crushed the zombie's head.
"Boss?" Chen Shaoye stared in shock at Chu Han, who had instantly leaped up. Such speed definitely surpassed human limits.
A large hand suddenly grabbed Eighteen's small ankle, then pulled her into his arms, holding her steadily with his left hand!
Chu Han felt his whole body filled with power. the huge and heavy iron axe suddenly became extremely light in his right hand. He swung it skillfully, and wherever it passed, a swath of zombie heads exploded.
Even while holding someone, it didn't affect his zombie-killing speed at all!
The iron axe spun in the air, smashing the heads of all the zombies in the surrounding area.
This scene happened too quickly. Before everyone could react, Chu Han had already rushed forward and pulled Eighteen back, even killing over a dozen zombies instantly!
The axe in Chu Han's hand didn't stop. With one hand, he swung the massive iron axe, creating streaks of afterimages. There were many zombies in front of him, and a large number of corpses piled up on the stairs, blocking the zombies outside.
But there was only one exit.
They couldn't get out anymore.
