Chapter 439 Passing by the Zoo
Meanwhile, Han Shuo and his group continued their rapid march toward the location of the Silver-Haired Organization.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and by then they had completed most of their journey.
Tomorrow is the deadline for the two silver-haired people to stop working, and Han Shuo must successfully escort them to their destination before tonight.
...
Over the past two days, their convoy has barely had any rest during the day.
However, as the group ventured deeper into the country, troubles began to arise.
Because of this, Han Shuo and the others unknowingly wasted a lot of time on the road.
During this period, within just two days, they first encountered a large horde of zombies.
However, this horde of zombies was clearly not controlled by the Corpse-Clad Man, nor was it directed by any intelligent zombies; they were simply wandering and gathering together by chance.
In this situation, Han Shuo decisively chose to avoid battle and let the fat man drive the detour to continue forward.
However, this detour lengthened the journey somewhat...
Later, by a twist of fate, they passed by a fairly large zoo.
In the past, they would avoid such places if possible, as everyone knew that there were definitely a lot of zombified wild animals in the zoo.
But at this moment, they were in a foreign country, completely unfamiliar with its landscape. As time passed, the silver-haired brother and sister, now weak and paralyzed, could no longer speak clearly.
Without the two people to guide him, the fat man in the lead car could only drive towards the destination by feeling.
And so, without knowing the area, he led everyone to the road next to the zoo.
This zoo must have been built just before the cataclysm, as it wasn't marked on the silver-haired man's paper map.
Then, the roar of the truck quickly attracted the attention of the zombie beasts inside.
And here comes another problem...
...
"Damn it, I should slap myself! How did I end up driving here?!"
At this moment, the fat man kept complaining about himself, his face filled with anxiety, and he stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, frantically trying to escape.
Because behind them, hordes of ghoul beasts were frantically chasing after them.
"Awoooooo!"
"Roar roar roar roar roar!"
"Moo moo moo, baa baa baa..."
...
Various deafening roars continuously reached everyone's ears.
The types of these zombie beasts were incredibly diverse, including wolves, tigers, leopards, lions, cattle, sheep...
Their red eyes were densely intertwined, creating an oppressive atmosphere!
"Stop talking nonsense. Bad luck has nothing to do with you. Get back to driving!"
Han Shuo simply replied, "Fatty."
He glanced in the rearview mirror and was surprised to find an elephant charging towards them from behind the herd.
He never expected that he would encounter such a zombie elephant, which he had never encountered in his own country, but today, he was seeing it for the first time abroad.
He observed it with a cold face and found that the skin of the carcass elephant seemed to have become even harder, and its long trunk was like an iron whip, constantly swinging back and forth.
Although the size of this carcass elephant did not increase, its weight and speed have become even more terrifying.
Because with each step it takes forward, a dull thud is heard, and a deep footprint is left behind it.
Perhaps the only thing that brought them some relief was that, thankfully, there was only one carcass elephant...
Moreover, among the carrion beasts behind, apart from this carrion elephant, there were no other rare species such as giraffes, nor any flying birds.
After all, two years have passed since the Ice Crystal Virus arrived.
During this time, the birds had all flown away, and most of the zombie creatures in the zoo had roamed into the wild. At this point, the number of wild animals still remaining inside had decreased significantly.
Even so, everyone still felt a chill run down their spines...
...
Half a minute later, Han Shuo saw that the several zombie beasts in front of the convoy were getting closer and closer to the caravan, and he knew that they could not escape easily at this moment.
Because the corpse wolves and corpse leopards were simply too fast; their running speed far exceeded that of their truck.
As time goes on, the truck will eventually be caught up.
Seeing this, and taking advantage of the distance between them, Han Shuo decisively ordered everyone to prepare to stop the car. He did not want to sit idly by and wait for death, so he decided to start a counterattack.
"Quick! Everyone move towards the higher point of the earthen slope ahead, park the vehicles there, and begin the battle!"
"Yes, Brother Han!"
"Yes, Captain Han!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Shenghong and the others followed the fat man and parked their car on the earthen slope.
They all knew that the longer the situation dragged on, the worse it would be for everyone. Only by taking up arms and fighting back could they have a chance of survival.
Fortunately, the herd of beasts behind them was not endless, and they believed that with everyone working together, it was possible to slaughter them all.
...
Soon, all the trucks stopped. Han Shuo was the first to open the truck door, climb into the truck bed, and fire a rocket launcher.
"boom!"
An explosion rang out instantly, and the rocket shot directly killed dozens of zombie beasts.
The next moment, everyone followed suit and launched their own attacks.
Rockets, grenades, and small bombs were continuously thrown forward.
"Boom! Thud! Bang..."
Explosions rang out one after another. Despite the combined firepower of more than a dozen people, which was already extremely fierce, the horde of zombie beasts fell one after another.
Even so, it's still not enough!
Because, compared to zombies, wild animals are obviously faster, and they can close the distance between them in the blink of an eye.
It might only take a dozen seconds, or even just a few seconds, for the vanguard to arrive in front of everyone.
...
"This can't go on!"
Han Shuo anxiously thought to himself that they wouldn't be in too much danger in close combat with a small number of zombie beasts.
However, once they are entangled at close range by fast beasts such as corpse wolves and corpse leopards, everyone will be instantly overwhelmed by the beasts when the main force arrives.
The next second, he turned his head and glanced at the tanker truck next to him. Although he felt a little reluctant, it was the only solution he could think of in this emergency.
"We have to give it up!"
Without any further hesitation, Han Shuo quickly ran onto the tanker truck and, repeating his previous trick, drove it straight ahead.
Then, just like last time, he jumped off the bus halfway through.
Swish! Swish!
After landing, he casually killed the two corpse wolves beside him with his dagger. When he glanced to the side and saw the tanker truck plunge into the herd of beasts, he turned around and shouted.
"Detonate!"
"yes!"
Xiao Zhao reacted the fastest, firing a rocket with perfect accuracy.
"boom!"
"boom!!!"
After the rocket exploded, another deafening explosion rang out.
