Chapter 137 'Pea' Shooter
In the blink of an eye, a row of "shooters" of various shapes and sizes lined up at the edge of the rooftop.
Lu Nange knelt on one knee, the butt of her rifle resting firmly on her shoulder. Lu Beiye tried to imitate her, but unfortunately, he wasn't tall enough, so he had to adopt Lu Xici's posture...
Lu Xici maintained a standard standing shooting posture.
Gu Wan, Luo Xingyou, and Wen Qing all knelt on one knee to adjust their breathing.
Meanwhile, He Zhuo and Ji Xian—the two of them even used their special abilities to make a mud mat to increase the height, and they were currently lying on it.
"Focus." Chi Yanzhou's voice rang out behind the Lu siblings, his well-defined hands helping Lu Beiye adjust his posture.
On the other side, Chi Yi, like a strict instructor, was correcting the angle at which the three ladies were holding their guns.
Gu Qi... was staring intently at the back of He Zhuo's head: "Old Ji, what good can you learn from him?"
He Zhuo whirled around: "You unfilial son! How dare you speak like that?"
Ji Xian didn't even look up, focusing on adjusting the height of the earth-element mat: "Old Gu, I've never learned this before, but I want to practice. Having more skills is good, isn't it? Like finding ink on a blank sheet of paper—it's all about learning."
"Did you hear that!" He Zhuo proudly raised his chin: "I call this setting an example..."
Gu Qi raised an eyebrow: "Set an example? The phrase 'lead by example' and 'repay with one's life' are perfectly fine, but you've ruined them like they've been chewed by zombies..."
He Zhuo suddenly clutched his chest, feigning heartache: "You unfilial son! If you like me, just say so! Why sneak in your own advances, offering yourself in return? Indeed, a place without water is a desert, and a place without me is loneliness..."
Chi Yi approached the three men: "Young masters..."
He Zhuo immediately nodded, making a zipper-like gesture with his hand.
......
Lu Nange took a deep breath and gently pressed her cheek against the cool butt of the gun.
Although her marksmanship was all "unorthodox" and directly instilled by the system, the weapon accuracy skill at this moment made every movement of hers as precise as muscle memory.
With a light flick of the trigger, a crisp gunshot pierced the night sky—a zombie on the tree-lined path between the teaching buildings suddenly leaned back as a bullet pierced through its rotting eye socket, its decaying head exploding in the moonlight.
"Beautiful." Chi Yanzhou put down his binoculars.
Immediately afterwards, gunshots rang out in the night.
The sound was like pouring a bucket of cold water into boiling oil—the entire campus instantly erupted in chaos.
Footsteps echoed from countless buildings, and zombies poured out of every window and stairwell.
The entire area was filled with groans, and the grayish-white eyeballs gleamed lifelessly in the moonlight...
"Damn it! Who's blind enough to fire a gun in the middle of the night?!" In a residential building two blocks away from the campus, a burly man suddenly slammed down an empty can in his hand.
His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the direction of the school: "Is this commotion going to attract all the zombies in the city?"
The comrade on lookout on the balcony suddenly lowered his voice: "Boss... all the zombies in the vicinity are heading towards the school..."
The man's face suddenly lit up with wild joy: "God is on my side! Quick, pack your things and move now! Let those idiots be the bait!"
The lookout shouted, "Boss, the gunfire has stopped!"
"Such a commotion, and he's dead?" The burly man spat viciously towards the school: "Useless..."
......
The number of zombies kept increasing, and there was a huge horde downstairs.
Everyone put away their sniper rifles and handed them to Lu Nange—except for Wen Qing.
"Sister Wenqing," Lu Nange said, placing Gangzi on her shoulder, "You guard the high ground, Gangzi is for you."
The macaw grumbled in dissatisfaction, but still obediently folded its wings.
Wen Qing: "Okay! Be careful."
As everyone quietly retreated from the rooftop, the sudden cessation of gunfire left the horde of corpses without a target.
They stood there blankly, their rotting heads turning mechanically.
"Whoosh—"
As soon as they reached the first floor, vines swept out, piercing the heads of the zombies in front of them.
Lu Nange flicked her fingertips, and wind blades whistled out, sending zombie heads flying.
With a flick of his wrist, Lu Beiye manipulated the golden dart to weave back and forth through the zombie horde, felling many of them.
Lu Xici thrust out with both palms, and the fiery curtain of flames engulfed another group of zombies.
Immediately afterwards, lightning exploded in Chi Yanzhou's palm, and the blinding electric light cleaved a group of zombies into charred remains.
"It's our turn!" He Zhuo was still cracking his knuckles.
Gu Wan and Luo Xingyou had already transformed into two afterimages and rushed into the horde of corpses.
Chi Yi, Gu Qi, and Ji Xian followed closely behind.
"Hey! Wait for me!" He Zhuo jumped up and down anxiously.
Gunshots rang out intermittently from the rooftop.
In a residential building two blocks from the campus, the lookout shouted, "Boss! They're all dead!"
The scarred man with a face full of scars walked onto the balcony cursing: "Damn it, this awful weather, with thunder and lightning, how come it's getting light earlier..." He squinted at the reddish sky.
The younger brother tremblingly handed over the binoculars: "It's not dawn... it's zombies, they're dying in droves!"
The scarred man snatched the binoculars, his cloudy eyes suddenly widening.
Through the telescope, he saw a battlefield filled with lightning and thunder, raging fire and water, where zombies fell in droves like wheat.
"Damn!" He slammed his hand on the railing. "Who the hell is this? Quick! Grab all the edible supplies! If we stick with this guy, we'll be set for life!"
