This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 40
The bullet whizzed through the air, its sonic boom piercing the silence. It accurately hit a fuel pipe in the middle of the gas station.
The gasoline evaporating in the air made contact with the bullet, sparking a tiny flame with a pop.
The friction between the fuel pipe and the bullet’s gunpowder instantly ignited the entire gas station.
Boom!!!
Just as the zombie was about to rush out of the lethal range, the gas station exploded.
After a loud noise, the entire ground trembled. Waves of heat came rushing, and the flames, like a gaping mouth, completely swallowed the howling mutated zombie, then instantly tore it into pieces.
The explosion lasted for a while.
The explosion caused a small mushroom cloud, and the gas station was ablaze, with thick smoke rolling straight into the sky.
The air was filled with the smell of charred flesh. The zombie was blown into pieces of flesh, and the charred corpse was everywhere due to the explosion. Even with strong regenerative abilities, it could not regenerate after being completely destroyed.
As soon as the explosion occurred, Zou Lang immediately threw the gun in his hand and ran against the explosion. He didn’t care that the flying debris had scratched his cheek, and directly embraced Yu Jingtang into his arms.
At the moment of the explosion, Yu Jingtang only felt a blast pushing him forward. He coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. His position was relatively close, and his injuries had not healed, so he was still affected.
Zou Lang held him tightly, letting his head rest on his chest, covering his ears with his hands until the sound of the explosion completely ceased.
It took more than thirty seconds for the entire explosion to stop completely, and there were still some flames burning next to the gas station.
Several people felt as if they had experienced a life-and-death situation.
The place where the gas station used to be had been completely destroyed and turned into a deep pit several meters deep.
Yu Jingtang still felt a bit chest tightness and tinnitus. He lifted his head, shook off the ash on his body, and was about to say “I’m fine”, but the next second, his mouth was blocked by Zou Lang’s chapped lips.
This time, he was conscious, but it still left Yu Jingtang at a loss.
For a long time, he had been fighting alone, rarely relying on others, but this feeling now suddenly left him a bit confused. After a moment of hesitation, he responded awkwardly.
He Ye sat on the ground, panting and looking back at the flames that were still burning fiercely, then at Zou Lang and Yu Jingtang huddled together. His mouth twitched twice, he rubbed his ears, and limped towards Wei Lin, complaining, “That’s too much, do they think we don’t exist?”
Wei Lin lifted his head, his face pale from the fever and blood loss. He looked at He Ye’s hand, which was still bleeding, and said, “Come, give me your hand, I’ll bandage it for you.”
He Ye was a bit taken aback by this sudden care. Just now, on the brink of life and death, he had forgotten about the wound on his hand. Only now did he feel the pain and obediently stretched out his hand.
Having a comrade who knew some medical skills was really good, He Ye thought, looking at Wei Lin with admiring eyes. But this gaze only lasted for a second or two, then he turned his head again to continue watching the gossip.
Wei Lin had just taken out the gauze and medicine, and seeing He Ye turn his head again to look at Zou Lang and Yu Jingtang, he ruthlessly wiped the alcohol on the wound.
He finally turned his head back, “Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Be gentle, damn it!”
In the first 20 years of his life, he had always bullied others, where had he ever been so injured?
Wei Lin’s movements finally slowed down and said, “If you know it hurts, cut it shallower next time.”
At 7:02 in the morning, after half an hour of life-and-death struggle, the flames gradually extinguished, everything returned to calm, and Zou Lang helped Yu Jingtang walk over.
This time, they had finally completely killed that demon.
And this battle of life and death also transformed them from instructors and students into comrades who could entrust each other with their lives.
After a brief tidy up, the group set off again.
The journey to the museum went smoothly, with only a few ordinary zombies.
Approaching 9 a.m., a plane appeared on time over the N City, then slowly landed on the roof of the museum.
Several people from Class E had been waiting here for a long time, along with some other students. Everyone was quietly waiting, from 9 a.m. until 10 a.m., the city was desolate, with not a single flare launched. This indicated that all the living people in the city had arrived.
Including the five instructors who came to rescue later, only fourteen students arrived, with thirteen special forces soldiers sacrificed here.
In the east, the sun shone high in the sky, dispersing the fog. Today was a rare sunny day, the sky of N City was cloudless and blue.
The students and instructors boarded the plane. Despite having experienced life-and-death struggles time and again, no one cheered.
Looking down from the plane, although N City was lush, it revealed a sense of desolation and death. It was a lonely city, like a hibernating beast. Someone had disturbed its moment of tranquility, but it would retreat into the darkness again. Inside the beast, it was unknown what kind of disaster or hope was being bred, all changes were unpredictable.
In slumber.
Until humans set foot on this land again.
More than an hour later, the plane landed smoothly on the tarmac of K Division.
The returning members, except for Wei Lin and another seriously injured student who were sent to the hospital, the rest of the personnel underwent a unified physical examination. Yu Jingtang also underwent an examination, the result was a bit unexpected, there was no major problem.
Three days later, the students received news that all surviving students were specially approved to pass the assessment, and they held a unified swearing-in ceremony on the playground.
At this time, it was early morning, the dawn sun arrived as promised, shining on the fourteen young people.
Regardless of whether it was a chaotic world, no matter how turbulent, no matter how dark the place around them was.
Every day, the sun would always rise as usual, giving mankind new hope.
Under the military flag, the students stood solemnly under the leadership of Li Jin.
He also looked at the empty position next to him, his expression rarely serious.
Following the crowd, Zou Lang raised his right hand and recited, “I swear: I am honored to become a special soldier of K Division, we are willing to serve for the rise of the empire, to change all the injustices in the world, to stand up when the country and the people need us, I am willing to dedicate my life to the country, fight in blood, and never stop until death.”
The young people’s voices were filled with passion, many people upheld this oath for K Division and the empire for a lifetime.
After reciting the oath, Zou Lang turned his head to look at Yu Jingtang standing next to Li Jin, and finally, he could stand with him.
They could be the most intimate lovers, or comrades who support each other in life and death.
Yu Jingtang also lowered his head to look at Zou Lang, he still had some vague worries in his heart.
After this incident, it was inevitable that K Division would change its leader. Were those people hiding behind the scenes the same as the previous ones?
What was the ultimate goal of those people?
They had escaped this disaster, what kind of situation would they face next?
