Chapter 17: Fatal Stumble

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth slowly curved into an arc. He glanced at him, then looked away and ignored him.

At this time, Mu Baifeng came over, glanced at Bai Long and the others, then looked at Ye Chen and said, "You just came up from downstairs, where are those monsters?"

Ye Chen turned his head and looked at him, saying: "The monster is right behind us, and it will be caught up soon. It is better for us to go upstairs and set up a trap first."

"Right behind?" Mu Baifeng was shocked. "No way? How long will it take for them to come up?"

"A few minutes!" Ye Chen said casually.

Everyone changed color.

Mu Baifeng made a prompt decision and said quickly: "Everyone, go upstairs quickly!"

Before he could even speak, the other soldiers rushed to the stairs, scrambling to get ahead, afraid of being left behind. As for the elevator… it had been out of power and stopped moving.

Ye Chen glanced at the short man whose arm was broken, then turned around and ran towards the stairs. Bai Long and others followed him, but did not show too fast a speed.

"Assholes!" The short man saw everyone running up, and the hatred in his eyes became even stronger. He gritted his teeth, covered his arm and stood up. He did not run to the stairs, but walked towards the elevator. He smiled grimly and said, "You idiots, there are so many monsters, how can you stop them? If you run up again, you will die."

He came to the elevator and if he looked closely, he would see that the elevator had a crack and was not closed. Since everyone knew that the elevator would run out of power, no one paid much attention to it, but the short man discovered this secret very early.

"After the monster kills you, it will leave, and I will come out then." The short man sneered, stretched out his hand and opened the elevator door. He immediately saw that the elevator was not empty, but there was a woman with disheveled hair, head lowered, eyes looking at her toes.

The short man's pupils shrank.

Ye Chen and a group of people killed zombies along the way and rushed to the eighth floor.

Fortunately, apart from the zombies in the building, there were not many other zombie monsters. There were only a few zombie ants and zombie insects, which were also killed by everyone.

"It's no use keeping running like this. Sooner or later we'll be caught up by those monsters." A young man said bitterly.

Everyone stopped, looking unhappy.

Ye Chen groaned, "Everyone, divide into four people and go up to the ninth floor and stand at the stairs. The other 15 people will find a room on this floor, kill the zombies inside, punch a hole in the door, hide inside, and shoot through the hole."

"You want to stop them here?" Mu Baifeng was surprised.

Ye Chen nodded, "We still have some energy now. Once we climb a few more floors, our energy will run out and the situation will get worse."

Everyone nodded, and one of the sturdy men frowned and said, "But, is this really okay?"

Ye Chen said coldly: "Everyone listen to my command. As soon as the monsters rush up, the four people on the upper floor will leave and shoot, and the people on the lower floor will shoot every once in a while. Don't shoot too frequently, otherwise it will attract the attention of the monsters. After the people upstairs have attracted the attention of the monsters, the people ambushing in each room below will be responsible for harassing the monsters and don't let them rush upstairs!"

Everyone listened attentively, and Mu Baifeng asked in astonishment: "Is this really possible?"

Ye Chen didn't say anything. He walked to the stairs, looked down, and said, "The monster is coming up soon. Everyone, hurry up."

Everyone looked at each other, and after thinking about it, they decided to choose Ye Chen's method. After all, if they continued to run upwards, they would have to fight the monster sooner or later. In this case, they might as well fight while they still had the strength.

Immediately, they broke open the doors of each room one by one, shot the zombies inside, and finally used a pistol to poke a hole in the door, removed the peephole, and watched the situation outside through the small hole.

Ye Chen pointed casually and said, "You, you, and Yue Heng, follow me."

The ones who were pointed out were Mu Baifeng and the young man Chen Cheng who had locked Ye Chen. Both of them were shocked and asked, "What are you doing?"

"The four of us will go upstairs and shoot." Ye Chen said.

"Why?" There was a hint of vigilance in Chen Cheng's eyes.

Ye Chen glanced at him, his expression normal, and said, "If a monster rushes up to the ninth floor later, with the physical fitness of the four of us, even if we can't defeat it, we can still escape."

Mu Baifeng thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Chen Cheng glanced at Ye Chen and felt something was wrong, but because Mu Baifeng was here, it was difficult to refuse. He could only nod, and the four of them went up to the ninth floor.

Da da...

Not long after the four people went upstairs, the sound of running footsteps was heard from below, and then two zombie ants rushed up.

"Shoot!" Ye Chen stood at the stairs and saw the monster's position through a gap in the guardrail. He said one word and started firing. The bullet flew down and hit the leg joint of one of the ants.

Bang, bang, bang…

Downstairs, people hiding in many rooms also pulled the trigger one after another. More than a dozen bullets hit the two zombie ants. The ant that was shot in the leg joint by Ye Chen slowed down a lot and had no time to dodge. It was immediately shot by many bullets. Its body and head were pierced, and a gray liquid with a foul smell flowed out.

Another ant moved and avoided several bullets, but was still hit by a bullet in the middle of one of its legs. Suddenly, the ant was enraged and rushed to the nearest room.

"Shoot quickly!" Ye Chen said hurriedly, and fired three consecutive shots from the Type 64 pistol in his hand. The shots were not in a straight line, but at three different positions, all of which were the leg joints.

The rapidly moving zombie ant suddenly tilted its body and nearly fell down. Suffering such a severe injury, it became completely enraged and turned around to crawl towards the ninth floor.

Mu Baifeng and the others were stunned by this scene.

Ye Chen knew that zombies were not without consciousness, but after failing to evolve, they became another kind of creature, dark creatures that were not afraid of pain or death. In the early days, these dark creatures would still pounce on the enemy even if their arms were cut off, because in their minds, there was only a desire for blood. They could not feel any physical injury at all, but just felt as if they had suddenly lost a part of something, and they didn't know what it was.

These zombies are fearless and the most difficult to deal with.

The zombie ants are now level 12, and have developed simple intelligence in their minds. They have various emotions. For example, when they suck blood, they feel happy and comfortable. When their bodies are traumatized, they feel like they have lost something. Although they don't know what it is, they will have a natural feeling of anger.

When they reach level 100, the monsters have extreme control over their bodies. They can use their throats to simulate various sounds and can communicate and talk with humans, just like some humans can perform ventriloquism.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Now, this level 12 zombie ant only knows that it will kill whoever made it lose something and devour their flesh and blood. Therefore, that person only shot the ant once, while Ye Chen shot it three times. In the simple consciousness of this ant, it knows that Ye Chen made it lose more things, so its anger towards him is stronger!

Although the zombie ants crave blood...

But the fundamental reason is that when absorbing blood, these zombie ants feel comfortable as if they are flying, so they are so eager. However, when they are attacked, the zombies become angry, just like a child who loses his temper and even breaks his most beloved toy.

When it turned and rushed to the stairs, those hiding in the room started shooting. More than a dozen bullets rushed towards it, instantly making the ant full of holes, but its head was still there, so it was not dead. It became even angrier, turned around again, and rushed back to those rooms.

Ye Chen quickly shot and hit the zombie's head, killing it.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, more zombies, zombie ants, and zombie bugs swarmed down the stairs.

Everyone shot one after another. Ye Chen and the other four also used all their strength. Bullets kept firing. Many zombies were hit in the head and fell to the ground dead. However, some zombie ants did not die quickly. Every time they tried to rush to those rooms, they were immediately bombarded by the concentrated firepower of Ye Chen and the other four people at the stairs, and their angry targets were shifted back.

The IQ of zombie ants is just that simple!

It will be angry with whoever hits it too much!

The zombie ants, which were extremely powerful and terrifying in the eyes of Mu Baifeng and others, were now fooled around. They were all stunned, and then they secretly admired Ye Chen's plan.

Although this plan is simple, how many people can think of it?

Just then…

Suddenly, several zombie ants' angry targets were not attracted by the people downstairs and rushed up one after another.

Mu Baifeng roared, "Damn, what are these guys doing!!"

Ye Chen said calmly: "Let's go. We can't beat them at close range. Let's find a place to resist."

Mu Baifeng acted decisively and turned around and ran. Ye Chen and Yue Heng exchanged glances and followed him. Chen Cheng was frightened when he saw several zombie ants and bugs rushing towards him, and quickly ran behind them.

"You run in front!" Ye Chen suddenly whispered to Yue Heng.

Yue Heng was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and then without asking any more questions, he rushed behind Mu Baifeng and ran after him. Not long after, they arrived in front of a room, Mu Baifeng went in, and Yue Heng followed closely.

Ye Chen and Chen Cheng were behind, and were about to reach the door when Ye Chen suddenly slowed down and stretched his foot to the side. Chen Cheng, who was chasing him from behind, never expected that Ye Chen would suddenly attack him. He was stunned for a moment and then tripped to the ground.

Ye Chen glanced at him and ran towards the room.

Chen Cheng gritted his teeth, looked at Ye Chen with resentment, got up and wanted to chase him. At this moment, he suddenly felt a tearing pain in his back. It turned out that those zombie ants and insects were chasing him.

"Hurry up!" Mu Baifeng killed the zombies in the room, ran to the door, and shouted anxiously.

Ye Chen turned around and fired two shots at the zombie ants, trying to save Chen Cheng.

Mu Baifeng said anxiously: "It's impossible to save him, come in quickly!!"

"Okay!" Ye Chen responded, fired two more shots, and then rushed into the room. When he entered the room, he heard the sound of bones being chewed and screams...
