Chapter 17

I have to kill my way out. It doesn’t matter if I’m looking for food or running out of Good Hope Village. In short, I can’t stay at home anymore.

After eating the last piece of candy in the house, Wang Xiong said.

These words made Meng Jie and Zhang Lixin nod.

Two days ago, there was already insufficient food at home. Therefore, Meng Jie and Zhang Lixin decided that the two of them should eat less and Wang Xiong should eat more to protect Wang Xiong’s combat strength.

Hoping that they would be in luck, they waited for another two days until the food was completely consumed. The three of them agreed that staying at home would only lead to a dead end. If they went out and fought, they might have a chance of breaking through.

This decision was not too late.

This was because Wang Xiong and Zhang Lixin were still quite energetic and were not affected by hunger.

But if he waited any longer, the situation would definitely get worse.

“So, what should we choose?” Wang Xiong looked at Meng Jie, who was the oldest, and prepared to hear the elder’s opinion. “Should we go find food, or should we leave Good Hope Village and run to the shelter in the city center?”

Meng Jie thought for a moment and expressed her opinion. “Run out of Good Hope Village. The current situation has become clear. We are likely targeted by high-level zombies. There’s no point in staying here and maintaining the status quo. Running out of Good Hope Village, and even finding an opportunity to kill that high-level zombie, is the best choice for us.”

Zhang Lixin added, “I’ve also planned the escape route.”

“Let’s set off from home and take Bright Street. Then we’ll go to the village entrance where the army and the zombies fought previously.”

Wang Xiong did not quite understand this route. “There should be more zombies over there, right?”

“It might be more, or there might not be. The battle has been going on for almost five days, and the zombies have most likely dispersed. Besides,there are weapons and vehicles left behind by us in that area. After finding the weapons and military vehicles, the route ahead will be much easier.”

Zhang Lixin paused for a moment and continued, “After consideration, I think going to the battlefield is the most reasonable choice.”

The journey of more than 10 kilometers filled with zombies would be extremely dangerous without a vehicle.

Due to the strength of the zombies, ordinary cars wouldn’t do; only military vehicles with strong resistance could provide the necessary protection for the three of them.

Wang Xiong clapped his hands. “Then let’s do that!”

…

Wang Xiong put on his protective gear.

Meng Jie hugged her briefcase tightly.

Zhang Lixin took out his army shank.

The three of them, Wang Xiong and Zhang Lixin, with Meng Jie sandwiched in between, stood in a line in front of the door.

He took a deep breath and braced himself.

With a bang, Wang Xiong suddenly opened the door!

Outside, more than a dozen zombies turned around at the same time when they heard the sound. Their grayish-white eyes were fixed on the source of the sound.

Before they could roar, Wang Xiong’s fists and feet had already smashed down like a storm.

If its physical fitness was fully digitized, the three-dimensional attributes of an ordinary zombie were about 6 points.

Then a powerful Awakened person like Wang Xiong could reach 10-12 in three-dimensional attributes!

It was almost twice the difference.

This was not a case of two zombies equal to one Wang Xiong.

The difference in combat strength brought about by two times the difference in physical attributes was shocking!

His punches and kicks caused the wind to howl.

Wang Xiong could crack the zombie’s head open with a whip kick and send it flying three meters away.

Even if he got close, Wang Xiong could smash the zombie’s head or snap its neck violently.

In addition, he was not afraid of the zombie virus, and his combat style was unrestrained.

In the confined street environment of the city village, Wang Xiong was like a bulldozer, sweeping away all the zombies in his way!

…

On the upper floor opposite Wang Xiong’s house.

The giant zombie, who had witnessed all this, remained calm.

As it had expected, it would not be easy to hunt this prey.

If it were a one-on-one battle, the giant zombie would probably not be Wang Xiong’s match.

But hunting was not a one-on-one battle.

The greatest advantage of a giant zombie was that its level was above ordinary zombies!

This allowed the giant zombie to mobilize ordinary zombies and direct their movements harshly,

albeit only 20 zombies each time.

However, it was indeed suitable to use these cannon fodder to exhaust the prey’s physical fitness.

Watching Wang Xiong killing rampantly below, the giant zombie let out a low cry that humans could not hear.

Therefore, as the number of zombies under him decreased, an equal number of zombies were “inspired” by the giant zombie and ran towards it.

Moreover, Wang Xiong had caused quite a commotion and attracted more zombies that were not controlled by the giant zombie.

The giant zombie growled.

It seemed to have seen the end of the hunt.

…

As the saying went, “There is no turning back.”

Wang Xiong and the other two naturally understood that once they went out, there was almost no possibility of returning home.

The zombies kept coming. Wang Xiong was under a lot of pressure, but his rich experience made him good at controlling his physical strength. He could still hold on for a short period of time.

What was even more worth mentioning was that Wang Xiong seemed to be born to fight. After seeing blood, not only did he not get carried away, but he also became even calmer. He used the terrain to drag down the zombies. In just 10 minutes, weighed down by two burdens, he killed his way out of two streets.

After entering a house through a hidden back door and resting for a moment, Wang Xiong led Zhang Lixin and Meng Jie out of the front door and continued his killing spree. Soon, the three of them were getting closer and closer to the previous battlefield.

However, just as the giant zombie had underestimated Wang Xiong’s combat strength, Wang Xiong had also underestimated the difficulty of this escape.

As they approached the village entrance, the terrain became simpler, with more open space.

The simple and open terrain not only meant that he would be subjected to more attacks at the same time, but it also meant that it would be more difficult to protect Zhang Lixin and Meng Jie.

The increase in the intensity of the battle also depleted his stamina greatly.

About 10 minutes later.

At the intersection just two streets away from his destination, Wang Xiong finally couldn’t hold on anymore…

His clothes had been torn to shreds, and there were seven or eight shallow bite marks on his strong body. Blood flowed down his body and mixed with his sweat.

Zhang Lixin was also panting as he shielded Meng Jie behind him.

The three of them took cover behind a wall and two large trash bins, their gaze fixed on the horde of zombies, tinged with a hint of despair.

Just as Wang Xiong mustered all his strength and kicked a zombie to death in the head, a thunderous roar suddenly came from a distance.

Hearing this sound, the zombies instantly became restless. Then they unexpectedly stopped attacking and slowly retreated.

“As expected!”

Meng Jie lowered her voice and said. Wang Xiong nodded slightly and looked in the direction of the roar.

A two-meter-tall zombie with a shiny head and bulging muscles walked over like a general. It pushed through the zombies in front of it and stopped five meters in front of Wang Xiong and the others.

It locked eyes with Wang Xiong.

The giant zombie’s pale eyes were full of violence, hunger, and joy.

There was only calmness in Wang Xiong’s eyes.

“The main character has appeared…”

As he muttered, a new power was ignited in his body!

That’s right, the weakness just now was just an illusion. Since Wang Xiong had already realized that there were higher-level zombies behind the horde, how could he waste all his strength on cannon fodder?

However, to the surprise of Wang Xiong and his two companions…

Upon seeing Wang Xiong’s expression, the giant zombie immediately took two steps back.

The giant zombie growled, and the roars of the horde of zombies instantly resounded. They swarmed towards Wang Xiong and launched a second assault!

Wang Xiong’s face stiffened. “What the f*ck…”

He really did not expect that, even after he had put on such a pathetic act, the giant zombie would still be able to stabilize the situation.

This stabilization directly crushed the survival hopes of Wang Xiong and his companions.
