Chapter 383
They didn't even...
Brother Sheng and his team cleaned the mall very well. It seemed that they had originally intended to use it as a base for their business.
They didn't even collect supplies, most of which were still in their original places. The ground was littered with zombie corpses, most of which were burned to charcoal. A few had various wounds on their heads, and they must have been killed by concentrated fire.
In fact, the zombies now move slowly. Apart from the ubiquitous virus and countless numbers, an adult man is fully capable of killing zombies in a one-on-one situation.
Brother Sheng and his men have a large number of people and are powerful, and with Brother Sheng being a person with special abilities, it is not surprising that they can achieve such a record.
Cheng Hui did not rush forward just because he couldn't see any zombies. Instead, he was very careful along the way and kept listening for any movement.
Occasionally, you can hear the roars of some locked-up zombies. There should still be quite a few zombies in the entire mall, but they are locked in some rooms and cannot get out for the time being.
Cheng Hui wondered if he should find time to kill all those zombies. He'd finally saved so many people, but what if that zombie got out and killed them all? What was the point of all his hard work then?
While thinking about these things, Cheng Hui walked quickly and arrived at the front door on the first floor.
The doors of the mall were wide open. The sound of the people starting their cars when they were escaping had attracted a lot of zombies. They chased in the direction of the sound. The remaining ones who came slowly were wandering around aimlessly and could break into the mall at any time.
Cheng Hui quickly closed the door and used a steel pipe to hold it firmly in place.
The zombies smelled fresh flesh and blood and asked, swarming in and banging on the door.
Cheng Hui felt that the gate seemed unreliable, so he found the control room and the switch of the rolling door at the gate. Although this metal rolling door may not be very strong, it is better than having nothing.
He went to the second floor, in the opposite direction of the office area, and found a shop with windows. He used some glassware he had just found and threw them down from the window one by one.
The sound of shattering glass successfully attracted the attention of the zombies, and zombies began to walk towards this side one after another. When the zombies at the gate were also attracted over, Cheng Hui closed the window, ran to the control room, and lowered the metal rolling door.
In this way, as long as there is not too much noise, the zombies should not be attracted here again, and the safety of the people hiding inside can also be improved.
Cheng Hui decided to return to the office area, bring those people down, collect some supplies, and then seal the stairs on the second floor. As long as no one commits suicide, they should be able to wait for the army to come to rescue them.
When he reached the second floor, Cheng Hui was about to turn inside when he suddenly heard a loud bang coming from the third floor, like the sound of a shelf falling down.
Cheng Hui paused. The third floor seemed to sell bedding and fabrics, and not many people usually came to buy things there. Brother Sheng and his team had cleaned it out again before, so there shouldn't be anything missing. So how did the sound come from?
He went straight up to the third floor and looked inside carefully from the stairs.
The ground was littered with debris and corpses. Brother Sheng and his men seemed to be cleaning it up easily. Most of the corpses were gathered in the center of this floor, on both sides of the escalator. The charred corpses on the ground emitted a foul smell.
Cheng Hui went over to take a look and found that the body was indeed dead. Even if it was a zombie, it would not be able to get up after being burned like this.
But he still couldn't find the source of the sound.
The third floor was quite large, allowing him to hear the noise at the stairs on the second floor. This showed that the noise just now was definitely very loud. Cheng Hui turned around twice and vaguely heard some noise when he passed the bathroom.
Is someone hiding in the bathroom?
Cheng Hui had this thought.
This is not impossible. After all, the apocalypse has only just begun, and the bathroom is a good place to take refuge. Maybe there are really people hiding in it.
Of course, if he hid inside after being bitten, then when he opened the door, there would most likely be a zombie waiting for him, so he was prepared, holding an axe in one hand and slowly opening the bathroom door with the other.
The door slowly opened.
There were no zombies suddenly jumping out from inside.
Cheng Hui opened the small compartments one by one but found nothing.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, and Cheng Hui immediately realized that he must have come to the wrong place.
The sound did not come from the bathroom, but from the utility room next to the bathroom.
He quickly turned around and ran out, only to see that the door of the utility room had been opened and a tall figure walked out.
Cheng Hui stared at the three-meter-tall zombie in amazement and couldn't help but swear.
Mutated zombies!!!
Shouldn't those zombies appear after the mid-period?
Now, let him, a weak, helpless, pitiful ordinary person with only three times the physical strength of an ordinary person, face such a huge mutant zombie... What can he do???
However, no matter how much he cursed, he couldn't change the reality he had to face. Cheng Hui could only take advantage of the fact that the giant zombie hadn't completely walked out of the utility room and attack it with an axe!
fortunately……
Although this guy is big in size, his defense is average, only about twice that of an ordinary zombie. At least Cheng Hui's axe is enough to cause damage to him that breaks his defense.
If Cheng Hui couldn't even chop it off, he would have to run away with his men.
Are you kidding? With this thing occupying the shopping mall, who would dare to stay here and seek death?
Fortunately, it can still be saved.
He finally understood why Brother Sheng and his group clearly wanted to run this place, but ended up leaving a batch of supplies and running to a small town to build a survivor base. He must have discovered this mutant zombie and knew he couldn't defeat it, so he took his men away.
Brother Sheng can just walk away if he can’t beat him, but Cheng Hui can’t do that.
Cheng Hui did not have a means of transportation large enough to accommodate the survivors. In other words, he might be able to escape, but the remaining survivors would most likely be fed to the zombies.
Besides... he had just lowered the rolling shutter, and it would take some effort to open it. He didn't think this zombie would give him a chance.
Instead of that, why not try and see if we can kill this guy!
Once this mutated zombie grows up, it will be a huge threat to the survivors. Killing it in advance should be able to save a lot of people.
Cheng Hui made a decision and gripped the axe tightly in his hand.
The mutant zombie was huge in size and finally squeezed out of the storage room. As soon as its head emerged, Cheng Hui chopped it back with an axe and it roared in anger.
Cheng Hui didn't care whether he was angry or not. The narrow door of the utility room just happened to be a weapon to restrict the mutated zombie. If he missed this opportunity, all the fighting over the past years would be in vain.
"roar!"
The zombie stretched out his big hand to grab Cheng Hui, but Cheng Hui seized the opportunity to dodge and then chopped his wrist with an axe.
After this axe strike, Cheng Hui couldn't help but frown.
He used all his strength this time and thought he could at least chop off the zombie's arm, but he only chopped off half of it and the axe got stuck in the bone.
It wasn't so difficult to chop it before. Could it be that it evolved in such a short time?
It seems that there is only one answer.
Cheng Hui sighed deeply and cursed the laws of this world again in his heart.
Is it over?
Such a gigantic zombie, one could tell at a glance that it was incredibly powerful. That would be fine, but it had also awakened a defensive ability? Wouldn't that make it an impenetrable, unstoppable hunk of metal? Could humanity even survive?
"Um?"
Cheng Hui suddenly remembered that in the later part of the dream, there seemed to be a super powerful mutant zombie. The zombie seemed to be entrenched in an arsenal. In order to take back the arsenal, many people died at its hands. In the end, it was a soldier with superpowers who chose to die with it and completely killed it.
Of course, the mutated zombies at that time were already extremely powerful, as tall as five meters, and their own superpowers were also well developed. Every time they attacked, their skin would be stained with a layer of brass-colored light. Ordinary bullets would not leave a trace on their bodies, and even sniper bullets would only leave a white dot.
If it really is it, then I am very lucky. I can deal with it in advance while it is weak, which will definitely save a lot of innocent lives!
"You're unlucky to meet me!" Cheng Hui licked his lips and muttered.
It was just bad luck. With the power of this mutant zombie, ordinary people really had no way to deal with it. Even if Lin Qingqiu came, he might not be able to solve it. The main reason was that this guy had thick skin and flesh, and after activating his superpowers, the things that could cause him damage were limited.
Superpowers? Come on, it's hard to say how many people with superpowers can awaken now. Brother Sheng, who combined his own abilities as a cultivator, could only barely create a large fireball. Ordinary superpowers can only create a small flame or light a cigarette.
In contrast, Cheng Hui has a physique three times that of an ordinary person, and the axe in his hand is also sharper.
The most important thing is that the mutated zombies at this time have not evolved as exaggeratedly as in the dream, and Cheng Hui's strength can break through their defense.
This made the situation easier. Cheng Hui relied on his agility and used the small door of the utility room to block it inside again and again.
The mutated zombies kept howling in anger, but they just couldn't get out.
No matter how strong it is, it cannot exert its strength in a small space. The mutant zombie is now in a situation where it has strength but nowhere to use it. As long as it does not leave the small space of the utility room, it can only use 60% of its strength at most.
Thus, the powerful mutant zombie was firmly blocked in the utility room by Cheng Hui, a "weak, helpless, and pitiful" ordinary person, with an axe.
The mutated zombie was almost going crazy. There were already many wounds on its body. Even though zombies were not afraid of pain, physical injuries still had some impact on their strength.
If the arm is broken, it will be impossible to attack; if the leg is broken, it will be inconvenient to move. Mutated zombies are just mutated, not immortal, and they cannot move flexibly with broken arms and legs.
So, an hour later, the powerful mutant zombie finally died under Cheng Hui's axe. In the end, it was unable to completely leave the utility room and could only express its indignation with unwilling roars.
"Huh..." Cheng Hui let out a long sigh, stretched his arms and legs, and muttered, "Scream, scream, but no one will come to save you no matter how much you scream."
"Roar!" A roar came from afar.
Cheng Hui froze, raised his head suddenly, and after a long silence, he uttered a single word: "Fuck... (a plant)"
