Chapter 406 Toad Mirror: Knowing it would become food, I should have fought back with all my might!
Just as the man with the aviator glasses was using his water-based powers to fight against the high-pressure water jets thrown by Gu Qi, he felt as if he were fighting against a tsunami.
Gu Qi's water jet had an astonishing impact, and the water jets exploded with a 'roar' the moment they collided.
Despite his immediate resistance, he was still knocked back several steps before he could barely regain his balance, nearly falling into the pile of corpses behind him.
"Damn it!" Gaggle gritted his teeth, his arms trembling slightly from the exertion.
At this moment, he stood on the ground amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood left behind after the fierce battle.
The corpses were piled up haphazardly, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.
He was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, and hadn't even had time to recover from the fight when he caught a glimpse of a corpse beside him, its chest pierced, suddenly twitching unnaturally.
"Zombie?" The thought had barely crossed his mind when the "corpse" suddenly opened its eyes—the murky orange pupils were particularly terrifying against its pale face, and it opened its mouth to bite his bare ankle!
"Holy crap!" The man with the toad-like glasses was startled, his hair standing on end, and his water-based superpowers erupted almost instinctively.
A jet of water gushed from his palm, sending the newly awakened zombie at his feet flying several meters away, where it crashed heavily into another corpse.
But this was like stirring up a hornet's nest...
The "corpses" around him, which had been motionless, seemed to have been activated, and began to twist and twitch in unison.
The bones made a "clanging" sound, and one "corpse" after another struggled to get up, making a low, hoarse "hoarse" sound from their throats.
Red, orange... pupils of various colors gleamed dangerously in the setting sun, all locking onto the most conspicuous living creature in the room—the man with the aviator sunglasses.
"Get out of here! All of you get out of here!" The man with the spiky glasses completely panicked.
He spun around in vain like a runaway sprinkler, frantically spraying water with both hands in an attempt to repel the zombies that were closing in from all directions.
Although the water jet was powerful, knocking the zombies in the front row off to the side, it couldn't cover all directions at the same time.
He was unable to attend to both the front and the back, and while he could block on the left, he left open on the right, leaving numerous openings.
"Boss!" His subordinate, a man with a small braid, cried out in alarm, trying to rush over to help, but he was entangled by more zombies that had risen up and the superpowers of Lu Nange and his group, and was unable to break free.
Just as the leopard-like man turned to the right and used the water flow to clear away the two zombies, four Level 3 zombies, who were mixed in with the horde of zombies and whose movements were obviously faster, seized the opportunity!
They simultaneously unleashed earth spikes, golden blades, and flames... While these abilities weren't particularly lethal, they successfully disrupted the toad-like eyes' vision and balance...
The next second, four dark figures pounced on their prey like hungry wolves from different angles!
"Ah—!" A piercing scream rang out: "Get out of the way!"
A zombie bit into the muscle on the back of the man with sunglasses, its sharp teeth tearing through his clothes and flesh.
The other one bit his buttocks, which were sticking up as he turned around, and the sharp pain made him freeze instantly.
The third one clung to his leg like a koala, its sharp teeth digging deep inside.
Even his calves weren't spared, as the last zombie that pounced on him opened its mouth and bit him...
A sharp pain swept through his body, and the man in the aviator glasses' screams abruptly stopped, turning into painful whimpers.
He could no longer stand and fell heavily to the ground like a felled tree, instantly engulfed by the surging horde of zombies.
Only a few scattered, futile struggles and fading curses echoed from beneath the pile of corpses: "Damn it... I should have... ah... not stood... at the back!"
It disappeared completely very quickly...
This terrifying and tragic scene was clearly witnessed by Toad Mirror's men, who were engaged in a fierce battle with Lu Nange and her group.
"Boss! Boss!..." several die-hard supporters cried out, their voices filled with terror and disbelief.
The already somewhat chaotic team instantly descended into disarray, their morale collapsing at a visible rate...
The woman in red and hat, who had been directing operations from the flank of the battlefield, and the man with glasses exchanged a quick glance.
They both saw the same judgment in each other's eyes—the situation was hopeless!
They turned to their own group of superhumans almost simultaneously and shouted in unison, "Retreat!! Everyone, retreat towards the truck!"
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
With the death of their leader, Toad Mirror, and in such a tragic manner, the mob instantly lost its backbone and fighting spirit.
The woman in red and the man with glasses reacted the fastest. They led their core groups, about thirty or forty people, and turned around without hesitation.
On the battlefield, the air was thick with the mingled smells of gunpowder and blood, and the originally noisy fighting was briefly halted by the rout of one side's forces.
Now, only the man with the small braid remains—his eyes are bloodshot and almost bulging out of their sockets from the tragic death of the eldest brother, Toad Glasses.
"Hold on! Everyone hold on! Kill them! Avenge our boss!!"
He led the remaining hundred or so people, struggling to fend off the indiscriminate attacks of the zombies while hysterically unleashing his supernatural abilities at Lu Nange and the others, attempting a final, desperate struggle.
Gu Wan rolled her eyes and scoffed, "You braided guy, did a zombie eat your brain?"
Your eldest son was a coward, hiding in the back, and ended up getting bitten to death. And you're blaming us for that? What business is it of ours!
He Zhuo: "Exactly, if you're sick, go get treatment! What are you trying to prove here?"
Shi Xu: "You braided man, with your strong limbs and simple mind, even a dung beetle would push your head away—and a zombie would shake its head at you!"
"Aaaaaah! You bunch of filthy bastards! Even if I die today, I'll drag you down with me!"
The man with the braid was trembling with rage, his blood pressure soared, and his movements with the cleaver became even more frantic...
Lu Nange said, "There's a wise saying... want to know it? Villains usually die from talking too much!"
Before the word "more" had even finished, a wind blade, moving at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect, sliced across the neck of the man with the braid!
His face, filled with anger, madness, and astonishment, froze instantly. His swinging of the supernatural machete stopped in mid-air, and a thin line of blood appeared on his throat.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but could only cover his neck, letting out a hissing sound. Then his pupils dilated, and he fell heavily forward to the ground.
......
Xie Lin'an, who had been positioned on the outside of the team's shield, immediately noticed the woman in the hat and the man with glasses leading the escape.
"Trying to run? Not so easy! Fourth squad... everyone, follow me! We can't let this tiger escape!"
