...Chapter 204 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse 34
That bitter stuff, what's so good about it? It's just full of bad habits! Anyway, he can't stand it; it tastes like Chinese medicine soup.
Just then, Chen Dalong suddenly saw Da Bao, his good nephew, turn around and take out a portable speaker from inside the house, placing it on the balcony.
Chen Dalong was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing.
"What? Now you know to play music and beg for mercy? Too late!"
Let me tell you, even if you kneel down and sing "Conquer," I still won't let you go! Is this some kind of funeral music for yourselves? You're quite sensible.
"My dear nephew, hurry down and open the door for your uncle! Your uncle has missed you so much, and your cousin has missed you terribly too!"
Before he could finish his taunts, Da Bao stood on tiptoe and pressed the speaker switch.
In an instant, a burst of extremely catchy, rhythmic, and abstract electronic music exploded out.
"Hakimi Hakimi Hakimi~North and South~Mung Beans~"
Ah-shi-ga-ah-shi~
The volume was turned up to the maximum, and the music instantly filled the entire area. The ear-piercing melody and inexplicable lyrics made everyone downstairs cover their ears in agony.
"What the hell is that?!"
"Turn it off! It sounds awful!"
"Damn it, I'm going deaf!"
"It's so noisy!"
Chen Dalong and his men started cursing and swearing. They were caught off guard by this sudden mental attack. The speaker was right above them, too close, and playing very loudly.
Shen Dabao and Shen Ci, of course, had put on headphones; they were the only ones whose ears were hurting from the noise.
However, their outbursts did not last long.
Standing on higher ground, Shen Ci and Da Bao had a wider and farther view. They could see that many small black dots had suddenly appeared on the previously quiet farmland and wasteland in the distance.
These black dots moved extremely fast, a dense mass like ants, rushing frantically from all directions toward the direction from which the music was coming—the hilltop where the villa was located—at an incredibly high speed.
It looks quite spectacular from a distance.
The people downstairs were completely unaware of this; they only felt a vibration coming from the ground beneath their feet. The vibration was not strong, but they could hear and feel it.
"What's going on? There's an earthquake!" someone shouted in panic.
They soon found out what had happened.
Less than a minute after the music started, the first wave of zombies had already rushed up the hillside! They were ragged and their skin was ashen, but they were much faster than people had imagined.
With only a thirst for the flesh and blood of the living people at the source of the sound in his cloudy eyes, he roared and pounced on the nearest target, Chen Dalong's group of men who were still covering their ears and cursing!
"Zombies! It's zombies!"
"Run!"
"How can there be so many?!"
"Damn it, this commotion is too loud, it's attracted the zombies!"
Instantly, chaos erupted downstairs, with screams, roars, and cries replacing the previous shouts and hysterical music.
Shen Ci calmly turned off the stereo, and together with Da Bao, they retreated indoors and closed the reinforced glass door to the balcony, instantly isolating most of the noise outside.
The mother and son leaned against the window, watching the zombies and the men Chen Dalong had brought begin their chaotic battle downstairs.
The men Chen Dalong brought were almost powerless against the incredibly fast zombies.
Some tried to run but were tackled by zombies; others brandished sticks to fight back but were quickly overwhelmed by more zombies. Chen Dalong shouted himself hoarse as he directed the battle.
"Don't panic! Don't run! Form a circle and hold the line!"
But fear, like a plague, spreads once it begins, and no one listens to his commands anymore.
"Mom, it looks like they're about to be overwhelmed by the first wave," Da Bao observed the battle.
"It's okay, we have plenty of zombies." Shen Ci picked up a small cake and took a bite with relish.
Sure enough, just as the people downstairs had finally managed to clear out the first wave of dozens of zombies that had been attracted, before they could even catch their breath, the mesmerizing Hakimi North Green Bean from upstairs started ringing out again.
Chen Dalong watched as more zombie figures were drawn to the music in the distance, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He looked up at the villa and roared in despair.
"Chen Ci! You son of a bitch! You're so damn treacherous!!!"
They actually resorted to dirty tricks!
Inside the villa, Shen Ci and Da Bao gave each other a high five in unison. Their faces were beaming with joy at having avenged their great grudge. They took out two cans of cola and a box of steaming fried chicken to celebrate!
Normally, Shen Ci wouldn't allow Da Bao to eat too much fried food. When there's healthy and nutritious food available, health should be the priority, not survival.
With a fried chicken leg in one hand and a cola in the other, the two watched from the balcony as Chen Dalong fought the zombies downstairs, and they understood why this man had become the leader of this group.
Chen Dalong used to be a petty hoodlum. He was fairly decent-looking and looked like someone you didn't want to mess with. He had been in jail for a few years for causing trouble. After he got out, he had no education, no background, and no skills.
In the end, he could only become a live-in son-in-law, marrying into Chen Juan's family. He was good at nothing else, but he had an inexhaustible amount of strength.
Ruthless and strong, he now stands amidst a horde of zombies, wielding a knife in one hand, taking down zombies one by one with ruthless and unwavering movements. He dares to kill even humans, let alone zombies.
No wonder someone like that became the leader of this group.
Chen Dalong only has one hand, and his hand is sore from killing zombies. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a replacement, so he can only grit his teeth and bear it. When he looks up, he sees Shen Dabao and Shen Ci eating fried chicken and drinking cola!
This is such a luxury! It tastes so much better than that bitter coffee! Chen Dalong was filled with anger and resentment. Why should his whole family suffer the bitterness, and why should they be separated from their wives and children, and even have their families destroyed?
The Shen family has enjoyed all the good fortune, even in the apocalypse! The apocalypse should belong to ruthless killers like them!
"Shen Dabao! Shen Ci!"
You! How dare you use such methods to ambush me! If I survive this time, I will never let you go! If you know what's good for you, come out and surrender now!
My brother-in-law doesn't have that much money to buy a villa. Shen Ci, which rich person have you hooked up with this time and run away with all the children of the Chen family?
"Dabao, we're the ones with the surname Chen, we're family! Your mother abandoned you a long time ago. Jump down, your uncle will catch you, let's go home and find your cousin Kang Kang!"
Chen Dalong found it increasingly difficult to kill, and could only provoke Da Bao with words, even trying to get him to jump off a three-story building; jumping off would only mean death.
Even on the verge of death, she was still so vicious. Shen Ci couldn't stand it anymore. She could ignore her mother, but not her child. A mother's love makes her strong!
