Chapter 497 Going All the Way
The moment everyone got off the bus, they were all plunged into a fierce struggle.
Han Shuo swung his Tang sword continuously, each strike leaving a trail of corpses at his feet.
His swordsmanship was superb, and coupled with his powerful personal strength, the swarms of corpse birds in front and on both sides could hardly get close to him amidst the countless sword shadows.
Despite this, Han Shuo still looked somewhat disheveled, as the swarm of corpse birds surged in from all directions, leaving no blind spots...
He doesn't have eyes in the back of his head, and he only has two hands. No matter how good his swordsmanship is, he still can't handle it all.
He can't even handle things on his own, let alone the others not far away.
...
"Ah! Ah—".
Within seconds, screams of pain rang out one after another from the side.
Xiao Zhao and the others were slightly weaker in combat. Even though they banded together to defend themselves immediately, they still couldn't stop all the corpse birds around them.
"Damn it."
Before he knew it, the fat man's arm was bitten again by a corpse bird that pounced on him.
He angrily reached out and crushed the corpse bird's body, roaring as he swung his large axe.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
"You bunch of red-eyed brats, die!"
...
Everyone was bloodthirsty, and flocks of corpse birds were shot down from the sky.
Unfortunately, the number of the zombie birds was simply too great. Even if everyone worked together and could kill dozens per second, they still couldn't solve the fundamental problem.
The battle had barely begun when they were all wounded.
If the battle continues, they definitely won't be able to hold out for very long...
Han Shuo was certainly aware of this.
At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he had already spotted a truck behind him.
The flamethrower is in the truck bed. If we can get our hands on it, the tense situation will be greatly relieved.
Swish! Swish! Swish...
After a few slashes, killing the flock of birds in front of him, Han Shuo rushed over.
But before he could run two steps forward, another wave of corpse birds surged towards him head-on.
Left with no other choice, he quickly pulled out a grenade from his pocket, bit off the pull ring with his teeth, and threw it next to the fuel tank of his truck.
After throwing the grenade, Han Shuo quickly retreated.
...
"Boom! Boom!"
Two explosions rang out, the truck was detonated, and an instant inferno appeared.
The people not far away were all somewhat shocked. Han Shuo rolled on the ground once before quickly getting up.
Seeing that the surrounding flock of corpse birds was scattered by the aftershocks of the explosion, he seized the opportunity and ran quickly to the truck equipped with the flamethrower.
"Fatty, everyone catch this!"
He quickly picked up the flamethrowers from the truck bed and threw them one by one at the crowd not far away.
At this moment, as the aftershocks subsided, the flock of corpse birds in the sky surged over once more.
The fat man was the first to get the flamethrower. He gritted his teeth and roared angrily, aiming it directly at the target in front of him.
"Come on, come on, keep going!"
"Die, all of you!"
As the voice faded, a thin stream of flame shot out, instantly killing a large flock of corpse birds in the inferno.
Soon, Xiao Zhao and the others also got their flamethrowers, and they all aimed them at the sky and launched a fire attack.
With the flamethrower, Han Shuo and the others' situation finally became more optimistic.
But that's not enough!
Some fast-moving birds did not die instantly in the fire.
Even if their bodies are set ablaze, they can still rush to the people before their feathers burn out.
The flaming corpse bird seemed to have become even more terrifying, because Han Shuo and the others discovered that they would not only be pecked by the corpse bird, but also burned by the flames attached to its body.
Playing with fire can easily lead to getting burned, and now this predicament has arisen!
Despite this, no one dared to put down their flamethrowers.
Faced with the choice between enduring the scorching flames and dying directly at the hands of the swarm of corpse birds, they could only choose the former.
...
This seemingly stalemate between the two sides continued for a while without anyone noticing.
"Keep going! Everyone must keep going!"
Despite the pain in his arm, Han Shuo shouted encouragement to everyone.
He had already discovered that because the swarm of corpse birds was so dense, the flames they spewed from their flamethrowers were gradually spreading into the sky.
If they can hold on a little longer, until the sea of fire is fully burning in the air, they will surely be able to overcome this crisis.
However, good fortune often seems to elude this group of people.
The next moment, everyone noticed that the flames coming out of their flamethrowers seemed to have weakened considerably.
"Oh no, we're running out of fuel!" the fifth brother shouted.
When these words reached Han Shuo's ears, he quickly looked up at the sky.
At this moment, the surrounding sea of fire was still spreading upwards, but it would obviously take a long time to completely ignite the flock of corpse birds in the air.
...
"Oh no, I'm out of fuel."
"I've run out of fuel too."
"Me too……"
Soon, as the flamethrowers in everyone's hands ran out of fuel one after another, swarms of corpse birds surged up from all directions once again.
With far fewer flames to block them, the number of corpse birds that Fatty and his group faced this time increased exponentially!
At the same time, Han Shuo, standing in the truck bed, also noticed the situation on the fat man's side.
Sigh~
He sighed and looked bitterly at the tanker truck at the very back of the convoy.
"Don't we deserve oil tanker trucks?"
The next second, without any hesitation, he pulled out a grenade and threw it.
In fact, Han Shuo really didn't want to give up the tanker truck, because fuel was really hard to find outside.
However, this was the most critical moment. If they held back any longer, they might lose their lives!
...
"Bang!" The grenade exploded.
The oil tanker truck successfully exploded on the spot!
"boom!!"
This explosion was truly earth-shattering.
The sea of fire reached straight into the sky, and tens of thousands of corpse birds were instantly reduced to ashes.
Half of the dark sky was instantly illuminated, and one after another, the corpse birds began to burn.
Han Shuo had witnessed this scene once before, but no matter how many times he saw it, he would still feel a sense of awe.
However, while detonating the oil tanker was effective, unfortunately, this time they encountered an overwhelming number of corpse birds.
Behind them, an endless swarm of corpse birds continued to surge forward.
Seeing this situation, Han Shuo decided to go all the way and issued a ruthless order.
"Everyone, detonate the truck!"
"good!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The fat man and his gang acted swiftly, detonating all the trucks in less than 10 seconds.
This caused the fire to spread at its fastest speed.
Next, the group quickly killed off the surrounding corpse birds, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, because the flock of corpse birds swooping down from the distant horizon had not yet reached them before being burned to ashes by the flames...
The fat man looked at the corpse birds turning to ashes in the sky and roared excitedly.
"Damn it! Hahaha! You didn't expect this, did you? We actually survived!"
As the voice faded, a white light flashed before everyone's eyes, followed by a tremendous rumble.
"Boom! Boom..."
Thunder rumbled continuously, it looked like it was going to rain...
