Chapter 18: Gods Descend to Earth

At the critical moment of life and death, all skills and moves are forgotten, leaving only instinct.

Luo Jiu inserted the dagger in her hand into the zombie's mouth, again and again, stabbing it quickly and repeatedly until the zombie's jaw was dislocated and could not close. Her other hand finally pulled out the machete and chopped off its head.

However, more and more zombies entered the yard. Like ants crossing a river, they stepped on each other and built a bridge of corpses to cross the electric fence.

A zombie ran straight towards Zhong Jialing who was lying on the ground, and Luo Jiu cut its neck with a knife from behind.

Before the head hit the ground, several other zombies had already rushed over from the other direction. Luo Jiu had no time to think about it. He slid and kicked away the two zombies in front. He slashed into the shoulder of a zombie with his long knife, and the blade was stuck in the gap between the bones again.

The long sword fell out of his hand, and all he could see were zombies. Luo Jiu had no choice but to roll over and press on Zhong Jialing, protecting his companion for the last time.

She closed her eyes tightly, and heard a whistling sound of wind in her ears, and the ground shook slightly.

Luo Jiu turned his head suddenly, opened the visual cover, looked up, and saw Feng Qi falling from the sky with an escape rope hanging on it.

She held two double-headed, double-edged swords, facing the light, the blades shining coldly, she was murderous and majestic, like a god descending from heaven.

Feng Qi quickly untied the hook at his waist, held a double-headed sword in each hand, and performed a series of combos on the zombies around him, killing them with every sword move.

It was accurate, the necks of these zombies were bleeding. If it were a human, they would bleed like crazy and die in seconds. But... these were zombies, they wouldn't die even if they were bleeding.

Luo Jiu stretched his neck to watch, and reminded softly: "Why don't you change to a machete, the sword is a bit light."

At least, a sword can't cut off a zombie's neck.

"I have heavier ones."

Feng Qi stuck the two swords into the ground and immediately replaced them with two heavy weapons.

A double-edged Xuanhua axe and a short-handled wolf-tooth hammer.

Each of these two items weighs more than 30 kilograms. Ordinary people would not be able to swing them. Fortunately, Feng Qi had a muscular body and was full of strength. He swung the axe in one hand and the hammer in the other.

One axe chops off a head, and one hammer smashes a shell of brains.

As soon as Zhong Jialing opened her eyes, a zombie's head exploded in front of her. She rolled on the ground in fear. "What's going on?"

Luo Jiu quickly stuffed a knife into her hand, "They are all zombies, let's kill them!"

What? How?

While the two of them were struggling to kill two zombies, Feng Qi had already beaten up more than a dozen.

They originally wanted to go over and fight Feng Qi back to back, but Sister Qi had gone crazy and was killing people. She was fighting fiercely in the pile of zombies.

Not to mention that the zombies couldn't get close, the two of them didn't dare to get close either. If they were just touched by the big axe, they would easily lose some limbs.

The two of them were looking for lone zombies or old, young, sick or disabled zombies that looked easy to fight, while Cheng Yaoyao was supporting them with a bow and arrows and steel bullets.

However, this was not a solution. God knows where all these zombies came from, and they kept pouring into the yard.

Zombies don’t get tired or exhausted, but humans do get tired.

After less than 20 minutes of fighting, Luo Jiu already felt that his whole body was soaked with sweat. He couldn't wear the helmet anymore, so he threw it away, otherwise he would have trouble breathing.

Zhong Jialing was in a similar situation, and asked her with sweat all over her forehead: "Let's retreat."

Luo Jiu calmly told her, "There is no way back."

When Feng Qi came down, the zombies had already surrounded them, and the door to the house was blocked by zombies.

"What should we do then?"

Luo Jiu looked at the number in the space, 49, which was the number of zombies that the four of them had killed together. Most of them were killed by Feng Qi.

This is almost their limit, but it still does not meet the upgrade requirements.

Now there are zombies everywhere and there is no way to retreat. Perhaps the only way is to upgrade.

Zhong Jialing was worried, "What if the upgrade just gives us more space? The upgrade reward won't give us an Italian cannon, right?"

"Try it. It would be best to give it nuclear weapons."

Luo Jiuyi hit the zombie behind her with a baseball bat, and Zhong Jialing quickly chopped off the old zombie's head.

Feng Qi only heard Luo Jiu shout: "Hold on for a while!"

Turning around, Luo Jiu and Zhong Jialing brandished their weapons and rushed towards the east.

On the east side, there were the Verdun machines that Luo Jiu had carefully selected. Considering safety, these dangerous machines were not displayed before. They did not expect that the yard would be breached in such an unexpected way.

Cheng Yaoyao fired several rockets and bought a few seconds. Luo Jiu and Zhong Jialing connected the power to the milling machine, and the sharp cutting blade on the milling machine immediately started to move, leaving an afterimage.

"Hey!" Luo Jiu stepped on the stone bench and shouted, "Come here!"

A zombie with rockets stuck in its body staggered over, and Luo Jiu hit it in the back with a baseball bat. The zombie staggered and fell on the milling machine, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Half of its body was trapped in the milling machine, and black and red juice flowed all over the floor, shocking Zhong Jialing.

She was stunned for a few seconds and muttered, "It's really dangerous."

With this thing, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

Feng Qi fought and retreated, leading the zombies to this side. The three of them surrounded the milling machine, like assembly line workers, sending the zombies one by one to the milling machine, and then watching them being scrapped.

These zombies are truly terrifying. Even though their companions have been turned into minced meat one by one, they still feel no fear at all and still rush forward one after another.

They had no intelligence, but they had brute force. The surging zombies rushed and crashed, tripping over the wires of the milling machine. There was a burst of sparks, the wires broke, and the milling machine stopped running.

Everything happened in an instant. The zombie that they had just pressed on the milling machine had half of its head ground off, and immediately started to bite Luo Jiu's waist.

Zhong Jialing quickly chopped at the guy with a knife and killed him.

Feng Qi looked at the milling machine that had stopped working, her face changed, and cold sweat broke out on her wet back. She knew that without the machine, with their manpower and physical strength, they could only last another twenty minutes at most. "What should we do?"

Luo Jiu made a prompt decision, "Open another one."

But the zombies won't give them time to prepare.

The black mass of zombies rushed over one after another, and even the other machines were surrounded by zombies.

The three people surrounded in the middle looked particularly small.

Cheng Yaoyao's scalp tingled when she saw this scene. She grabbed five arrows with one hand, gritted her teeth, tightened the bow with her aching arm, aimed at the zombie closest to her and shot the arrows.

Luo Jiu was grabbed by a zombie by the sleeve. As the two were pulling each other, an arrow whistled towards her. She felt something was wrong and dodged based on her instinct, but still missed by a few inches.

"Ah!" Cheng Yaoyao, who accidentally injured her teammate, let out a sharp explosion.

The tip of the arrow pierced the flesh, and Luo Jiu felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

Fortunately, she was wearing a stab-proof vest, which was at least equivalent to four layers of wild boar skin.

Fortunately, it was Cheng Yaoyao who shot the arrow instead of Feng Qi, otherwise with her strength, she could have pierced through five layers of wild boar skin and might have gone straight to the King of Hell.

The tip of the arrow penetrated the stab-proof vest and pierced a centimeter-deep wound on the shoulder. Luo Jiu took a few steps back, holding his shoulder. Feng Qi and Zhong Jialing came over quickly, "Are you okay?"

"I won't die." Luo Jiu gritted his teeth. He caught a glimpse of Cheng Yaoyao hanging on the escape rope, slipping down in a panic, and jumping between them.

Luo Jiu was shocked: "What are you doing here?"

Cheng Yaoyao said nervously: "Let me explain to you, I didn't mean it."

Luo Jiu: "Of course I know you didn't mean it."

Cheng Yaoyao: "Then...then you should go into the space quickly and treat your injuries."

The space is limited to one person, maybe, after upgrading, it can accommodate four?

Luo Jiu glanced at the statistics and said, "Hurry up and kill three of them. We will soon have a hundred!"

Everyone was exhausted. If they were to kill them all, they would be so weak that they would want to surrender. But when they heard that there were still three missing, Feng Qi raised his axe and chopped off three heads.

Luo Jiu looked at the operation page and was stunned for a moment.

Zhong Jialing hurriedly urged: "Click! What are you hesitating about?"

Luo Jiu had a complicated expression, "Upgrading also comes with a random time travel bonus."

"Then wear it!" Cheng Yaoyao waved the machete, "No matter where you wear it, it won't be worse than it is now!"

Yeah, screw it, just wear it.

Luo Jiu clenched his back teeth and pressed the upgrade button.
