Chapter 133 Flood and Ferocious Beasts (Unedited) "If you try to escape again, I'll kill you..."
Zhang Weiming had just awkwardly squeezed himself out of the small elevator.
Since being accidentally injected with ketamine, Zhang Weiming's motor functions began to become somewhat disordered. Furthermore, he experienced various hallucinations, leaving him constantly in a state of anxiety and paranoia.
As the zombies closed in, the entire medicine collection area was plunged into an extremely dangerous atmosphere. Everyone was busy devising countermeasures, and no one paid attention to Zhang Weiming, who was twisting and getting up from the ground.
His curly beard was still covered with lingering saliva, and perhaps due to the continued effects of the drugs, Zhang Weiming's hands and feet swayed unnaturally with his movements. At first glance, he looked no different from the zombies moving outside the glass window.
In a blind spot unnoticed by everyone, Zhang Weiming quietly climbed to the shelf at the far end of the medicine dispensing area.
These are not the standard items from the system shop, but a series of practical tools from the real world.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his hands trembled uncontrollably as he secretly grabbed a screwdriver from the top of the shelf and hid it in his sleeve.
Just as Zhang Weiming shifted his gaze back to the other players, that reflexive twitching in his muscles struck him once again.
What he saw was not the figures of the crowd; in that instant, everyone had transformed into wild monsters that could take his life at any moment. Although they were all facing away from him, constantly searching for ways to kill him at the window, Zhang Weiming felt that they were walking towards him, as if they would kill him at any moment.
It looked as if capillaries in his eyes had burst, leaving a bright red mark that stood out prominently on the whites of his eyes.
Zhang Weiming cursed under his breath, then pulled out a small knife he carried with his other hand and strode towards the crowd.
From his perspective, he wanted to strike first and eliminate the enemy who was trying to harm him.
Just as he was about to plunge the blade straight into Xin Sang's neck, Geng Qing, the last person to emerge from the small elevator, was the first to notice his unusual behavior.
The body's instinctive reaction is much faster than the brain's processing speed. Before Geng Qing could even fully get up from the ground, he subconsciously stretched out his long leg, and his upturned toes became a stumbling block in Zhang Weiming's path of attack. The opponent was tripped up quickly without warning and without any defense. At the same time, because his hands were subconsciously bracing against the ground, the sharp knife in Zhang Weiming's hand also slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Seeing that an extremely malicious attack had been stopped, Geng Qing pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she didn't have paronychia.
Despite the noisy environment, Zhang Weiming's fall was quite loud, which attracted the attention of Luo Chuange and the others.
They hadn't expected the person to have changed like this, but the most important thing right now was to avoid the impending zombie attack, so they could only keep a safe distance from him.
Just as Zhang Weiming struggled to his feet, Lao Ren, who was not far away, rushed towards him.
Seeing that he seemed to be trying to take the knife again, Lao Ren was so frightened that he kicked the knife on the ground away, and then tightly hugged Zhang Weiming's body with both hands, thus restricting his arm movements.
"What are you doing?!"
Old Ren was so anxious that his face turned red, and he could only repeat one sentence over and over again, "Tell me what's going on slowly, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, okay?"
Liang Xuan glanced back and saw Zhang Weiming and Lao Ren sneak into the corner of the back shelf again, seemingly discussing something.
But she quickly looked back at the situation, because the situation was too urgent for her to be distracted.
Dean Liang remained standing in the center of the hall. He had long since stopped staring at Liang Jun and instead lowered his head again, keeping it folded up with his body.
Hordes of zombies erupted from both sides of the medicine collection area in an instant. As if summoned by Dean Liang, they perfectly avoided the circular area where the other party was located, and then rushed towards the medicine collection area with great purpose.
Many zombies had already rushed to the glass windowsill. Their limbs felt no pain, and their faces were pressed against the transparent glass layer by layer, leaving behind dark brown tissue fluid.
The zombies at lower positions had also noticed the open medicine window. A horrifyingly mutilated arm reached out from the arc-shaped opening, its festering fingers scratching tirelessly, preventing anyone from getting any closer.
Ge Lin and Luo Chuange had already knocked down a group of zombies with sticks, but they couldn't stop the exponential increase in the number of zombies.
Liang Jun figured that all the zombies in the entire instance had probably gathered here.
She hurriedly dismantled an empty small shelf, wielding it with a lightweight metal rod, and then, amidst the squealing noise of the zombies, shouted at the top of her lungs, "Director Geng, is this glass sturdy?"
A small number of zombies seemed to have found the door to the medicine collection point. Geng Qing and Qi Zhixia were guarding that spot, injecting anesthetic into each zombie that tried to force its way in.
She kept tossing empty syringes in her hand. "We should be able to hold on for a few more minutes, but we need to find a solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, the zombies will keep piling up, and if the glass collapses, none of us will be able to escape!"
That's the idea, but now they have nowhere to escape.
As a relatively enclosed space, the passageways connecting the medicine dispensing area to the outside world are very few—
The most obvious obstacle is the open window connecting to the hospital lobby, but this area is now completely crammed with zombie parts, and mortal players certainly wouldn't dare take the risk. The second obstacle is their "path of origin," but judging from the duration of the anesthetic's effects, the zombies in the hospital warehouse are likely already fully awake, and no one wants to gamble on returning to darkness. The last obstacle is the staff-only passage to the medicine dispensing area, which is the door that Geng Qing and Qi Zhixia are currently guarding so closely. However, as time goes on, more and more zombies are appearing outside, greatly increasing the risk of escaping from here.
Almost all roads connecting to the outside world were completely denied.
Are we just supposed to stay at the medicine dispensing station and wait to die?
Liang Jun gritted her teeth and swung the metal rod in her hand without daring to be negligent.
Apart from her, the others also rushed into the battlefield as quickly as possible. The shelf that had just been dismantled was almost completely gone, and the handy sticks had been distributed among the players. Everyone cooperated with each other, each guarding a window to minimize the weight on the glass.
Just as Liang Jun knocked off a shaky arm, a barely perceptible cracking sound suddenly entered her ears.
She subconsciously looked up and saw that several cracks, almost invisible to the naked eye, had appeared in the glass near the ceiling.
The once-perfect glass curtain wall has developed flaws.
Without even thinking, Liang Jun instantly understood what this meant.
"Zhu Shengqing, Zhu Bieming," her voice trembled uncontrollably with nervousness, but her thoughts remained very clear, "If this glass completely collapses, can the two of you completely withstand the attacks of these zombies?"
She had witnessed the power of twin guardian spirits firsthand, but even though they were powerful, they were only present in very small numbers.
There were at least a hundred zombies swarming in front of her, each one incredibly brutal—to be honest, Liang Jun didn't have much confidence.
Just as she was trying to find a way to reconcile herself, Zhu Shengqing interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
His voice was as steady and warm as ever, and Liang Jun could not detect any change in his emotions. "Okay."
Two words seemed too simple, so Zhu Shengqing didn't hesitate and completed the sentence, "We can defend against these zombie attacks, so don't worry."
Hearing this answer, Liang Jun breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But what she wanted was far more than that. "It's not just about protecting me; I want all the players in this space to be safe and sound. Can you do that?"
Zhu Shengqing paused for a few seconds, not because he doubted his own abilities, but because the scope of protection offered by Liang Jun was too broad.
This has exceeded the default execution scope of the guardian spirit.
“Liang Jun, you know that we guardian spirits can only protect one host.”
Zhu Shengqing tried to reason with Liang Xun, "Normally, we wouldn't proactively protect other people..."
"Won't take the initiative?"
A zombie tried to stick its head in, but Liang Jun decisively chopped off its head. "So that means you can do it if I force you, right?"
Zhu Shengqing seemed to want to say something more, but the impatient Zhu Bieming broke through the black mist and stood in front of his brother.
"Whatever you say, we'll do it!" The white mist floated with high spirits, and the airflow noticeably increased as a result. "Even if the sky falls, we can hold it up. You can completely let go and do whatever you want!"
Seeing that Zhu Bieming and Liang Xun were on the same side, Zhu Shengqing said nothing more and tacitly agreed with Liang Xun's actions.
The group continued to strike the zombies without stopping, but the number of zombies surging up in front of them only increased. Liang Jun felt a sense of unease, like the bubbles rising from a pond after the rain, only increasing.
"Could you two go outside first and see if there are any new zombies?"
Liang Xun didn't turn around, but kept arranging, "If the number of zombies continues to increase, the cracks in the glass will only get bigger and bigger."
Upon hearing her say this, Zhu Shengqing and Zhu Bieming did not hesitate. The two wisps of mist passed through the glass wall without any restriction and flew straight out towards the hospital lobby.
Within seconds, Liang Jun felt two gusts of wind behind her.
She hadn't expected the two brothers to return so quickly. Their beating of the zombies hadn't stopped, and without turning around, she casually asked, "How is it? Are they still increasing?"
But this time, the response she received was not the familiar voices of the two brothers, but rather the cool metallic sensation that crept up her neck.
The sharpened screwdriver was pressed against Liang Jun's pulsating carotid artery, while her two upper arms were firmly locked from behind, rendering her unable to move.
Liang Jun held her breath instantly, feeling the warm liquid flowing down her overly sensitive skin.
The knife-wielder used excessive force, and the sharp tip of the blade had already sliced through Liang Yun's delicate skin.
"Don't move," a foul stench assaulted Liang Jun's ears, "If you try to escape again, I'll kill you."
