Chapter 40: Fire

The three of them had spent several days of leisure and enjoyment in this farmhouse full of pastoral atmosphere. At noon that day, everyone sat around the dining table and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch. The sunlight shone through the window onto the wooden table, adding a touch of warmth to the whole scene.

At this moment, Zhang Yan suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, and said excitedly: "I just went out for a reconnaissance and made a major discovery! Many of the zombies that were originally gathered together around are now scattered!" Her eyes were shining, as if this news made her see the dawn of hope.

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan, who was chewing slowly, raised his head, thought for a moment and then responded: "In that case, let's take a break after dinner and then set off quickly. Time waits for no one, we must seize the opportunity and move on."

However, Zhang Xin looked a little disappointed. She bit her lips lightly, her eyes showing reluctance, and murmured to herself: "Ah? Why are you in such a hurry to leave..." After just a few days of getting along, she already regarded these people in front of her as close friends.

"It's okay, we will definitely meet again." Shi Yi comforted with a relaxed smile. After enjoying lunch, the three of them slowly returned to their respective rooms and began to pack their luggage.

They carefully packed the necessary items into their backpacks, and everything seemed to be in order. However, just as they packed their luggage and were about to step out of the door, a noisy and creepy sound came up from downstairs.

"Oh no! Those damn zombies are approaching us!" Zhang Yan's terrified scream instantly broke the original silence.

This sudden change made the three people's hearts rise to their throats. Without hesitation, they quickly picked up the weapons beside them and hurried down the stairs.

"What happened?" Shi asked anxiously while running.

"I don't know either! But looking at the situation, the number of these zombies is really too abnormal!" Zhang Yan frowned, his eyes revealing deep fear and confusion.

Jiang Xianchuan rushed into the fierce battle without hesitation. The scene in front of him was horrifying. Countless zombies were piled up densely, as if they formed a terrifying "ladder of corpses" and climbed straight up the wall. In the blink of an eye, these zombies fell into the yard like raindrops.

Jiang Xianchuan had sharp eyes and immediately sensed the danger. He drew his sharp sword from his waist without hesitation and rushed towards the zombies that had landed first.

He raised his knife and swung it down. With a flash of cold light, several zombie heads rolled to the ground, and black blood splashed everywhere.

Li Lingyu, who was standing by, saw this and immediately joined the fight. He and Jiang Xianchuan worked in perfect harmony, one attacking from the front while the other attacked from the side, leaving the zombies who had just landed and had not yet stood firm no time to react.

At this time, Shi Yi also rushed to help. She held a thick wooden stick tightly in her hand, and every time she swung it, there was a whistling sound, and she smashed hard at the zombies that tried to get close to them. The three of them worked closely together and killed the zombies one after another in a short time.

Zhang Lin and the others watched with great excitement as Jiang Xianchuan and his companions cooperated so seamlessly and tacitly on the battlefield, as if they were in sync with each other. This exquisite cooperation inspired and encouraged them, and they threw themselves into this fierce battle without hesitation.

However, as time went by, the situation became increasingly serious. The zombies, which were already quite numerous, continued to appear, rushing towards them in waves. The physical strength of the people was constantly consumed in the long and fierce battle, and everyone's movements began to become slow and heavy.

Although Jiang Xianchuan was physically fit, he felt a little overwhelmed at the moment. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, soaking his clothes, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

While he was struggling to fend off the zombies' attacks, he was also racking his brains to think of other possible solutions to the current predicament. At this moment, an unexpected scene happened!

Suddenly, blazing flames burst out from the zombies that rushed towards them fiercely. The fire spread instantly, forming a raging sea of ​​fire. In the blink of an eye, all the zombies in the fence were devoured by the scorching flames and turned into piles of charred remains.

Then, the blazing fire spread like a ferocious beast at an alarming speed, instantly devouring all the zombies. The scorching flames licked every corner, turning the originally eerie scene into something like purgatory.

At this time, the people around were bewildered, not knowing what this sudden fire was all about. Just as everyone was looking at each other, at a loss, suddenly, a loud male voice came from a distance: "Haha, we got them all! How is it? Isn't it amazing? Compliment me! Compliment me!"

Hearing this voice, another boy standing next to him couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Boring." After that, he no longer paid attention to the boastful guy, but walked straight towards Jiang Xianchuan and others.
