This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 48

Zou Lang held the axe tightly in his hand, following the driver to the back, which was already part of the renovated staff accommodation area. Like the inspection hall in front, it was also lit. The light dispelled the darkness and a bit of fear.

The corridor floor was clean, without blood or signs of struggle, and the air had the familiar smell of disinfectant.

It was also quiet here, deserted, with only their footsteps and the rustling sound of the rain.

Suddenly, Zou Lang heard a sound in the rain, the sound was intermittent, but it was clear, it was crying, and it was a child’s cry.

Zou Lang made a silence gesture to the driver, “It seems like there’s someone!”

The two stopped, and now they could hear it more clearly. There was a child’s cry, and it was not far from them.

The driver looked at Zou Lang, “Let’s go and see.”

They quickly made a judgment.

When humans become zombies, they are deprived of many important things from their lives.

This includes emotions, zombies don’t feel sad, and they don’t cry.

Since the sound was crying, it must be a human, not a zombie.

Zou Lang and the driver arrived at the door of a staff dormitory, the door was ajar, the driver pushed the door open, the room was dark, with the light from Zou Lang inside, they could see, there was a six or seven-year-old child standing there, his hand covering his eyes, crying very sadly there.

“Mommy…”

In this quiet rainy night, the child’s call could touch the softest part of people’s hearts.

This child might be from the family of the staff here, or from passengers who arrived here earlier waiting for quarantine.

Zou Lang still didn’t dare to let his guard down, reminding the driver, “Be careful, this place is too strange.” He carefully observed the surroundings.

The driver squatted down and asked, “Little friend, where is your mommy?”

At that very moment, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky.

The little boy just lifted his head, revealing a zombie’s face.

He wasn’t crying, but laughing.

Their judgment was wrong, common sense had led them into a misunderstanding, zombies were also evolving.

Camouflage…this was one of the most basic survival rules in nature!

Zou Lang’s pupils contracted sharply, and he swung the axe in his hand.

For a moment, blood splattered…

And at the same time, several shadows suddenly appeared in the originally empty corridor, it was the zombies moving over.

It was already past seven in the evening, the sky was completely dark, and the inspection area was in chaos.

“Run!!! Run to the bus!!!” Yu Jingtang led dozens of people into the rain, the heavy rain instantly soaked his thin clothes.

They were being chased by zombies from behind, and zombies were also surging from the side.

When the zombies got close, they no longer concealed themselves, they started to growl and began to run after these unprepared travelers.

The low growls in the rain sounded hair-raising.

Yu Jingtang didn’t open the umbrella in his hand, but ran out directly, the place where the bus was parked was about sixty meters away, he directly left the other passengers far behind.

The man who looked like a boss was afraid of this, he shouted from behind, “Help! Help! Young man, you really ran by yourself!”

Yu Jingtang ignored him, ran all the way to the side of the bus door, opened the bus door, threw the backpack to the driver’s seat, then turned back to save those running people.

Yu Jingtang went home visiting relatives this time, naturally he didn’t bring any weapons, he only took the long umbrella that his mother stuffed into their hands before leaving. After all, he was a person who had come through gunfire and bullets, even if he was unarmed, he was not afraid, let alone having an umbrella in his hand.

Yu Jingtang looked at the umbrella in his hand, concentrated and gripped tightly. The umbrella bone of this umbrella was made of metal and was very sturdy, in his hand, this was a weapon that could kill zombies!

At this time, the passengers also ran out from the inspection area, all the way to the bus, the student girl with glasses ran to near the bus, but was blocked by a zombie, Yu Jingtang rushed up to pull the girl, pushed the girl onto the bus, at the same time his long umbrella was drawn out, like a meteor hitting the zombie’s head, the umbrella knocked the zombie down. Then the sharp end of the umbrella in his hand mercilessly pierced the zombie’s temple, blood splattered out.

“Help! Help!” Another passenger was about to be bitten by a zombie, Yu Jingtang ran a few steps, first used the closed umbrella to stop the zombie’s mouth, then lifted his foot to kick the zombie’s chin, directly kicking the zombie out.

The passengers who ran out of the inspection station saw the zombies, they were all scared and confused, one by one they rolled and crawled to the bus, blocking the bus door.

Yu Jingtang was helping them block the zombies that were surrounding from all sides.

For a while, the umbrella in his hand didn’t stop.

Yu Jingtang’s several shots were clean and neat, the people in the bus realized that this clean and handsome looking young man’s previous words “I’ll watch here” were not empty words and this skill was definitely not something ordinary people could do.

Even in the panic of escaping, the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Oh my god! So handsome!”

“This pretty boy’s combat power is so high!”

“Indeed, don’t judge a book by its cover…”

“One man fighting a group of zombies and still having the upper hand…”

At this time, the fat man wearing a gold chain was running at the end, coming from a distance. He was about to get on the bus, but was grabbed by a zombie on his bag. Yu Jingtang saw it in his eyes, used the handle of the umbrella to hook the zombie’s neck, then twisted and broke the zombie’s neck with a force, saving the fat man’s life. Then the umbrella in Yu Jingtang’s hand turned a circle, drew an arc, and forced back several zombies.

The fat man took this opportunity to squeeze onto the bus, pressing on several people. The people in the bus screamed in panic, in the darkness people were squeezing each other, at times someone fell, at times someone was tripped, no matter how chaotic, they finally all got on the bus.

Yu Jingtang also fought and retreated to the bus door, with a swish he opened the umbrella, pushed hard, and several zombies who wanted to pounce were pushed down. Then Yu Jingtang pressed the bus key in his hand, the bus door made a hissing sound, ready to close.

Those zombies were still not giving up, wanting to pounce on the bus before the door closed, a leading zombie just blocked the door, and Yu Jingtang kicked it. The bus door finally closed.

Just as the door was closed here, several zombies surrounded it, and the harsh sound of the zombie’s claws scratching on the door came from outside the bus.

The bus cabin plunged into darkness, one could hear people’s hurried breathing and the zombies’ roar outside the door.

All the people were startled for a moment.

The rain outside the bus was still falling, pitter-patter.

Yu Jingtang wiped the rainwater flowing down from his hair, and asked, “Who can drive a bus? Turn on the lights first.”

The people in the bus were quiet, no one made a sound. The driver was not there, this bus was very unfamiliar to them.

Yu Jingtang said again, “Turn on your phone and look it up online!”

The crowd finally woke up like in a dream, took out their phones, and some people first used the flashlight on the back of the phone, for a moment several weak light sources lit up in the bus cabin.

The passengers finally looked up the tutorial, the girl with glasses stepped forward, took the bus key from Yu Jingtang’s hand and inserted it, then pressed a button to turn on the headlight of the bus.

The light finally turned on in the bus, with this light people looked down, dozens of zombies were surrounding the side of the bus. From the decay of these zombies and their clothes, they might be passengers from other cars, and they had just turned into zombies not long ago.

In the distant darkness, there were still zombies slowly walking over.

Yu Jingtang was soaked all over, standing in the front row of the bus, under the reflection of the car lights, his face was a bit pale, but his expression was calm, “Everyone look around, is anyone missing? Check yourself if you have been bitten, if you have been bitten, stand up.”

The people on the bus started to find their own seats, either standing or sitting in their previous positions.

Then everyone expressed one after another, although it was dangerous just now, no one was bitten by a zombie.

Yu Jingtang counted the number of people, and it was correct, except for Zou Lang and the driver, everyone else had come up. He patted the shoulder of the boss-like man standing in the front row, “Call for help, remember the number?”

The boss then remembered this, hurriedly picked up his phone, the call was quickly connected, he had a brief conversation with the other party, then put down the phone and said to Yu Jingtang, “The other party said that they are short-staffed now, I’m afraid they won’t be able to send rescue personnel until tomorrow morning.”

Yu Jingtang rephrased this and said, “Everyone rest assured, we are safe now, as long as we wait until tomorrow morning, someone will come to rescue us.”

From the time when everyone ran away from the inspection area, to now when they finally escaped danger and clarified the situation, it only took five minutes.

In these five minutes, Yu Jingtang was strong, calm, and meticulous, and under his step-by-step guidance, the situation gradually became clear.

An old lady sat in her seat, holding her bag in her arms in shock, and said to Yu Jingtang, “Young man, thank you, without you, we might have died here.”

Yu Jingtang humbly said, “It’s nothing, it’s what I should do.”

A round of thanks sounded in the bus again.

Yu Jingtang paused, and added, “I am also a soldier.”

This was just an ordinary sentence, but at this moment, when these people heard it, it seemed to have magic. The restless hearts of the crowd became more settled.

The zombies outside the bus began to quiet down gradually because they found they couldn’t get in, and some zombies were slowly dispersing. But just at this moment, a noise came from the exit of the inspection area, and two more people ran out from inside, followed by several zombies.

It was Zou Lang and the driver, they finally arrived!

Yu Jingtang stared at the two figures running in front, even if they were tens of meters apart, he could immediately identify that the person was Zou Lang. At this moment, Zou Lang’s figure was agile but covered in blood, seeing this scene, Yu Jingtang’s heart contracted sharply, countless possibilities flashed through his mind, his body was soaked and cold, for a moment it seemed as if his internal organs were all frozen in one place, he turned around and rushed towards the bus door.
