This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 32

Without saying anything else, seeing the zombies and panicking, this psychological quality is not up to standard. Where do you drill into a dead end?

In a blink of an eye, those zombies also ran into the alley.

Yu Jingtang put down the bag on his back, stood in the corner, estimated the number of zombies, pulled out the long knife around his waist and handed it to Wei Lin, saying, “You are the weakest in combat, remember to protect yourself, Zou Lang, there is a fire hydrant behind, go get a fire axe.”

Zou Lang hurriedly ran over.

“He Ye, isn’t your proudest skill fighting? Go on this time. In this kind of close combat, sometimes fists and feet are more useful than daggers and knives.” Yu Jingtang said, took off his gloves, moved his fingers, and casually threw the pair of gloves to He Ye. The gloves were spiked, and as long as they hit, it was easy to pierce the zombie’s brain.

“Let’s review what we learned in class again. If it’s bare-handed, focus on attacking the zombie’s neck and head. There are sensory nerves on the zombie’s neck. If the neck is damaged, the zombie will lose its ability to move even if it doesn’t die for a while, and it can’t bite hard, so it can’t bite you.” Yu Jingtang said, several zombies had already run in front of him.

The pupils of those few zombies were pale and contracted, their eyes turned blood red, they had not eaten for a long time, their limbs were waving, they roared, and they pounced with their mouths open.

“This battle, I hope to be able to complete it within fifteen minutes!” Yu Jingtang said, raised his leg and kicked a zombie. The zombie’s body was thrown into the air, knocking down several zombies behind him. At the same time, Yu Jingtang’s fist hit a zombie’s neck, and with a click, the neck bone shattered. Then his body fell to the ground, his foot directly stepped on the side of a fallen zombie’s head, the rotten bone was broken by his step, and a ground of brain pulp and stinky fresh blood was leaked. Yu Jingtang then flicked his hand, pulled up a zombie’s clothes and wrapped it around his head, then his elbow twisted hard, and the zombie’s neck made a “crack” sound.

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, Yu Jingtang’s moves could be described as ruthless, with a kind of bravado. His flexibility and explosive power were excellent, and the moves he made were always lethal.

Zou Lang had seen Yu Jingtang’s skills and was relatively calm, but He Ye and Wei Lin were both stunned. Was this the legendary violent maniac?

He Ye suddenly realized that if he really fought to the death, three of him might not be able to beat one Yu Jingtang. He, who was always known for his fighting skills, suddenly felt his face hurt.

“Don’t be stunned, fight!” Yu Jingtang said, releasing his hand that was pressing on a zombie’s neck. The zombie’s neck was already broken, and it fell softly to the ground, its mouth still mechanically opening and closing.

The three of them woke up like a dream, and He Ye quickly made a move, rushing up. Seeing the zombie’s gaping mouth, he felt a pressure different from fighting with people. His fist rushed towards a zombie’s temple, and the steel nail on the glove entered the zombie’s head, splashing a piece of blood.

He Ye had just killed a zombie with his bare hands and breathed a sigh of relief, when Yu Jingtang’s voice rang out behind him, “Your movements are too big!”

“You can speed up!”

“There are flaws in your back!”

“Be careful with your shoulder!”

Yu Jingtang was fighting on one side and constantly reminding He Ye on the other.

Zou Lang and Wei Lin followed behind the two, dealing with the zombies that were knocked down but still moving.

For a while, the whole alley was like hell, with the wailing of zombies, limbs and arms all over the ground, and flesh and blood flying.

In a blink of an eye, dozens of zombies had fallen to the ground, but the zombies were no longer the students they were before. Seeing their companions being killed, they would not turn around and run, they would only keep coming.

Twenty… ten… five…

By the end of the fight, although there were fewer zombies, because of the physical exhaustion, He Ye gradually became a little strenuous. He panicked, and two zombies pounced at the same time. At that moment, his heartbeat suddenly stopped for half a beat. Yu Jingtang was unable to split his body, Zou Lang and Wei Lin were still behind, and it looked like he was going to be bitten!

Just at this critical moment, Yu Jingtang grabbed a zombie’s hair with one hand, and suddenly pulled out a silenced pistol from behind his waist with the other hand, and shot two shots at the heads of the two zombies pressing on He Ye.

The two zombies fell to the ground with a sound, just falling on He Ye, splashing him with brain pulp.

He Ye was scared into a cold sweat by this. Wei Lin hurriedly ran up and pulled him out from under the two zombies.

Yu Jingtang fired the last shot and killed the last zombie. He picked up his watch and took a look, exactly fifteen minutes.

“Damn! Instructor, you have a silenced gun, why didn’t you take it out earlier!” He Ye was still in shock.

“This is a level you must pass. Guns may run out of bullets, knives may fall, only fists and feet are the most reliable. You have these fists and feet, you may have more lives than others.” Yu Jingtang came over and patted He Ye on the shoulder, “I won’t let you get into trouble.”

He Ye squatted down, panting, clutching his pounding heart. Although he had just felt the threat of death once, he was full of fear, but at the same time he also knew that the more he fought between life and death, the greater the room for improvement. Yu Jingtang was right, this short practical exercise was more useful than his years of training before.

“Instructor, are you okay?” Zou Lang was still a little worried about Yu Jingtang’s body. At this time, seeing him just panting a little, he was still a little uneasy.

“I’m fine,” Yu Jingtang said to Zou Lang. He had just set to finish within fifteen minutes, which was an estimate of his physical limit. Now that he had finished fighting, he was a little exhausted. He instructed Zou Lang, “You go get my backpack.”

Zou Lang ran over and picked up Yu Jingtang’s bag, which was estimated to weigh several tens of kilograms.

Then Yu Jingtang opened the bag and pulled out a bunch of ammunition supplies and a light machine gun from inside.

The three exhausted students wanted to cry without tears. Zou Lang threw his little axe on the ground with a click, “Damn, you have so many good things and don’t take them out, let us fight!”

Yu Jingtang said, “Isn’t this practical training?” He answered easily, but he was vaguely worried in his heart. If there was a better way, he wouldn’t want to risk fighting. In this open space, the machine gun was too loud, and there was not enough time to distribute equipment just now. They might encounter many dangers along the way, and even these ammunition might not be enough.

Moreover, for the students, this was the best theoretical practice class.

After a little tidying up, Yu Jingtang led the students out of the alley. Although there was only one more person, the combat power of the entire team had increased by more than half. More importantly, the students suddenly had a backbone.

Finding a relatively hidden place, Yu Jingtang asked, “Wei Lin, report the current situation and give your tactical analysis.”

“Reporting to the Instructor, we three gathered at the southwest position of N City at 9:36 am. After discussion, we plan to restore the communication of N City, strive to contact other students in the city, and killed a total of 72 zombies along the way. At present, our weapons, equipment, and personnel have not been damaged. This is the simple map I drew. If we proceed according to the original plan, there are still 2 kilometers left, waiting for instructions.”

Yu Jingtang spread out a map of N City, put it together with the map drawn by Wei Lin, and compared the two maps. The main streets and key buildings were exactly the same.

“Received, my rescue order here is for all instructors to search for as many students as possible in the city. Three days later, gather on the rooftop platform of the museum in the city center from 9 to 10 in the morning. Your idea of restoring communication is good, so that students can avoid being left here. It’s not too far from the base station here, and it’s on the way to the museum. I think we can continue according to your plan.”

Museums have always been wide and sparsely populated, relatively quiet, and there were not many staff in the collection, there were not many zombies that could be encountered as well.

The museum of N City was located at the center point of the student drop-off. The height and location of the building were suitable for the take-off and landing of helicopters. Therefore, this gathering point was chosen here.

The communication between the two was concise. Zou Lang listened on the side. Compared with his verbose report, Wei Lin’s report was obviously more professional. He Ye also nodded on the side to express his agreement.

Yu Jingtang said, “Since everyone has no objections, let’s proceed like this. It’s getting dark soon, let’s find a place nearby to settle down first.”

At this time, in the suburbs of B City, there was a water area here. The water was clear, and the setting sun shone on the water surface like a broken golden mirror. The sparkling beauty was not like the scenery of the world. In the middle of the water, there was a hemispherical silver building.

A man in military uniform got out of the car and showed his ID at the guard post. After the guard checked and found no errors, he let him in. There was another checkpoint ahead, where they took his blood sample, measured his body temperature, and then let him in. The staff pressed a few buttons, and a narrow passage suddenly rose from the water surface,

The man walked through the passage all the way, his pace was strong, the military boots and the glass touched, making a crisp sound with rhythm.

On the smooth surface of the elliptical building, a door suddenly opened. Fang Yazhou, wearing a white lab coat for experiments, stood at the door to greet him, “Senior Colonel Zou, why do you have the leisure to come here?”

“As a representative of the military, I came to inspect the latest progress.” The man took off his shawl and held it in his hand. His military uniform made him look majestic and domineering, unshakable. This man was Zou Lang’s elder brother, Zou Fang. Compared with Zou Lang, he lacked Zou Lang’s mischievousness and childishness, but the fearlessness in his bones was exactly the same.

This place was one of the most core laboratories for studying zombie viruses, the Third Research Institute.

This place could be called the most secure research institute in the world. If one wanted to enter, one needed to pass through layers of checkpoints. Once a leak occurs, it would activate the self-destruction device, water would directly pour into the building, and everything would be submerged. Afterwards, it would be injected with neurotoxic toxins, leaving no one or zombie.

Similarly, it was absolutely safe here. If the outside was attacked by zombies, it would be closed, and all the food and water sources inside could support the researchers to survive for three years.

Fang Yazhou followed Zou Fang, and when he reached a checkpoint, he used his fingerprint to swipe it open, “Isn’t the progress of each week already written in the report?” He paused slightly, “But I have to say sorry, it may be a bit esoteric, with the IQ of the chief, there is a certain probability that you will not understand.”

Zou Fang glanced at him, accustomed to his poisonous tongue, “Don’t forget who is supporting you.”

“Yes, chief.” This threatening remark earned Fang Yazhou a face of feigned submission. But Zou Fang knew that his threats were of no use. In Fang Yazhou’s eyes, there was only science. Apart from science, he didn’t care about anything in the world. He didn’t need emotions, even eating and sleeping were superfluous.

“In this extraordinary period, I prefer to trust my own eyes.” Zou Fang gave a brief explanation for his sudden visit.

“What part of the progress do you want to see?” Fang Yazhou asked him, adjusting his glasses.

Zou Fang looked up at him, “I heard you have a few new treasures here?”

Fang Yazhou made a gesture of invitation to Zou Fang, “Welcome to visit.”

Fang Yazhou led Zou Fang all the way through the pure white corridor to the bottom layer of the entire institute, which was three layers underwater, where some special zombies were detained.

The two of them walked past the huge glass windows, and Fang Yazhou stopped in front of a piece of glass, “Test subject No. 12, Zombie Judah, this is currently the largest known zombie, 6 meters tall.”

Zou Fang looked up, this zombie was as tall as two floors, and it was now muzzled and chained in the experimental base with stainless steel. Several researchers in white coats were making records on the side.

Fang Yazhou did not intend to stay, and continued to walk forward, pointing to a huge aquarium-like water tank, “Test subject No. 13, Mermaid, the first discovered zombie that evolved water lungs, her sprint speed in the water is far greater than that of humans.”

The zombie in the water tank had long hair like seaweed, swam to the glass, opened its mouth at Zou Fang, showing its sharp teeth. Somehow, seeing such a zombie, Zou Fang thought of the forbidden woman in ancient legends.

They continued to walk forward, and Zou Fang saw a small specimen box with a red thing inside. He asked Fang Ya Zhou, “What is this?”

“It’s Adam’s arm, found after the tunnel explosion in C City. Unfortunately, only this section of the arm is left, but its muscle density is a density that humans cannot reach.” Fang Yazhou’s tone was full of regret for not seeing the zombie Adam.

“What about the progress of the research?” Zou Fang asked again.

“The progress of the vaccine is not going well. We have currently developed a drug that can slow down the spread of the virus, extending the mutation time from the original 12 hours to 24 hours after being bitten by a zombie. But this drug is very expensive and not very meaningful to the public.”

“What about other aspects?”

“We have a research team trying to see if we can inject the mutation virus into ordinary zombies to make them evolve in a targeted way, in order to replicate the mutated zombies.”

“That’s a good idea,” Zou Fang affirmed, “I’m very interested in these things, whether they can become our weapons.”

Fang Yazhou shook his head, “The uncontrollability of zombies is still very high.”

Zou Fang frowned, “Can’t you increase the IQ of these things?” Now the game of several parties was fierce, time was the key, he hoped to hold more cards in his hand.

“If I had such a drug, I would definitely try it on some stupid people first.” Fang Yazhou’s eyes carried a bit of pity. In his eyes, the IQ of ordinary people and zombies was not much different, but his own EQ was very worrying.

Zou Fang coughed lightly, changed the topic, he was not prepared to be angry, “By the way, you just went to K Division a while ago?”

Fang Yazhou nodded, “Yes, I went for a follow-up visit. There was a problem with the test product, so I went to deal with it. After all, Yu Jingtang was the first human clinical trial of the R-type reagent. I am still very concerned.”

The R reagent had always been one of the key research drugs in the research institute. Its function was to create super soldiers, and the initial project was named “Immortal Soldier”.

Zou Fang knew about that incident. The person was saved by Zou Lang’s plea, and the content of the experiment was specially approved by the military. It was this experimental drug that pulled Yu Jingtang back from the line of life and death. He thought that this clinical trial was relatively successful, but now, there was still a problem? Zou Fang frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
