Chapter 992: The Looming Zombie Crowd

The captain on the roof spent a short while observing through the telescope, then had his expression changing. He looked around and spent another half a minute with his eyes in the telescope. After turning the telescope toward quite a few different directions, he finally handed it back to his subordinate, then turned and quickly left, running downstairs without saying anything.
Huang Chengfeng was waiting for his men to come back with captives. However, the leader of the squad that was responsible for guarding the building abruptly came downstairs in a flurry.
“Director, there is an emergency!”
“What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?” Huang Chengfeng looked at him and asked.
The squad leader said, “This building is surrounded by zombies! The zombie crowd is five-hundred meters from us and approaching. There are at least three thousand of them!”
Huang Chengfeng furrowed his eyebrows and showed a fierce look. “What? We are surrounded by zombies? They are approaching?”
The squad leader quickly nodded and responded firmly, “Yes, they are coming at us. A lot of them! But… They have been quiet. I think… some of them are at high levels…”
Huang Chengfeng didn’t want to believe that, but he knew that his subordinate wouldn’t lie. The man must have confirmed the situation before reporting to him.
“That’s impossible!” He said with disbelief, “Are you sure about what you saw?”
The squad leader stood at attention as he saluted at him and said seriously, “I spent tens of seconds confirming it. I know what I saw. The soldiers on the roof saw them too!”
Huang Chengfeng picked up the telescope from the table beside him, then walked out of the room with big steps. He ran up to the roof, then raised the telescope and cast a glance through it. After that, he immediately gave out his order.
“All, get ready to fight! Bring out the combat vehicles! All-round aiming!”
Following his order, all the soldiers swarmed out of the hotel rooms while carrying their weapons, taking cover near the hotel building and pointing their weapons outward. On the other side, the zombies moved slowly. Hundreds of meters took them a long while to cover.
Huang Chengfeng spent a short while looking around from the roof, then pulled a long face.
The zombie crowd had jammed every road around the building. He was able to leap onto another building and leave, but his soldiers weren’t able to do that.
“Tell our men to wear more anti-zombie drug, then gather together and rush out through this way,” Huang Chengfeng pointed at one road and then leaped off the building.
“Fire!” He landed beside the gunner on the road that he pointed at and gave his order immediately. After that, he turned and shouted, “Get into the cars and move!”
Receiving his order, the gunner launched the cannon.
Bang! A thunderous sound was heard and a cloud of dark smoke rose. Half of the zombie crowd on the road was blown off, yet more zombies rushed up from behind.
At that moment, a shrill zombie roar could suddenly be heard. “Roar!” ‘Attack!’
Following that order, the slow-moving zombie crowd suddenly switched to another mode. All the zombies brandished their claws and bared their teeth as they began rushing forward crazily.
“Fire!” With a frown, Huang Chengfeng gave another order.
Bang! Another blast was heard and some more zombies were blown into the sky.
At that point, the combat vehicles were driven out of the parking lot, moving toward the road that Huang Chengfeng was on while whistling.
“Get into the vehicles!” Huang Chengfeng ordered his men to hop onto the vehicles once those vehicles came into his sight. Following behind the combat vehicles were military trucks.
About ten miles away, the people on three modified off-road cars heard the blasts and pulled over.
“What’s going on? Is there a fight near the hotel?”
“That’s a lot of noise. Has the Director and the others encountered some kind of situation?”
“I don’t know! But I think so!”
A man got off the first car and looked around, then hopped onto a tall building and looked at the hotel. He saw a few thick clouds of smoke rise from that area and spread in one direction, as if the troop was moving.
He jumped off the building and landed on the car roof as he said, “Let’s get there and take a look. The fight is intense. We don’t know what’s going on. We need to get closer.”
With that, the three cars immediately started moving again.
But, they soon had to stop the cars again, because a group of zombies was quietly standing on the road. At least a hundred zombies blocked the way before them.
“Damn! Where are all these zombies from? Why do I feel that they seem to be waiting for us?” The driver in the first car hit the break as he looked at the zombie crowd that was about eighty meters away from the car, popping his eyes and staring at those zombies with disbelief.
“Look up there! Two people are standing on top of that building!” The man in the front seat abruptly stuck his head out of the car window and pointed at a building while yelling. The man on the car roof had seen the two people as well. Each of them was giving out a strong vibe that made all the people in the three cars feel a strong pressure.
Suddenly, one of the two disappeared.
Before the people in the cars could react, a muffled thud was heard. Next, the man on the car roof was thrown off.
The man’s brain stopped working when he fell onto the ground. However, when he raised his eyes to see a pair of purely dark eyes, his fine hair instantly stood straight up.
That was a zombie! He was pressed down to the ground by a zombie! He believed that the zombie would bare its teeth and give him a bite in the next second!
That thought flashed across the man’s mind. He tried to struggle instinctively, but he sensed something soft and wet against his face all of a sudden. By the time he realized what had happened, his face was covered in zombie saliva. The zombie didn’t bite him, but licked his face!
Was the zombie marking its prey?
‘Damn! Aren’t you a zombie! Shouldn’t you bite me! You’re not a dog! Why did you lick me?”
Realizing that the zombie just licked him, the man was stunned. At that moment, the other figure on top of the building disappeared as well. Within a blink, that figure showed up on top of the first off-road car and couldn’t help but say to the face-licking zombie, “Why are you licking him! Bite him to death! Bite!”
After saying that, Six felt so tired in the heart, wondering where Chief found Nine. That zombie definitely had some problems! He wouldn’t listen to any orders. As for the things he did listen to, he never kept them in mind. And the things he did remember, he never put them in action!
He pounced on any person he saw and then licked them, whether they were friends or enemies. What on earth was wrong with him!
