Chapter 208 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse 38
"Brother Long, this place is too eerie! Let's... let's get out of here!" a subordinate said, trembling, his arm scalded by coffee.
"Bullshit!"
Chen Dalong's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a very crude homemade bomb made of fertilizer and gasoline.
No one expected that Chen Dalong would have such a thing.
"I refuse to believe we can't blow it up! Follow me! Anyone who dares to back down, I'll blow them up first!"
What the hell era are we living in? Why are you still talking about ghosts? Where did these ghosts come from?
This is the apocalypse!! People only become zombies when they die, not ghosts! Come back here! You're not afraid of zombies, what are you afraid of ghosts for?
He lit the fuse, waved the smoking homemade bomb in both hands, and urged his men forward.
However, this time, some people refused to comply. They knew they would die whether they went forward or backward, but they had one more option: to escape.
Chen Dalong ruled them for so long, but he never treated them like human beings. He abused, tortured, and suppressed them, and threatened them at the drop of a hat. They had to live by Chen Dalong's whims every day.
That's bad enough, but the key issue is that the food and water allocated to them is still very limited. They go several days without a full meal. They do a lot of work but eat very little. Over time, anyone would start to complain.
It's better to run away than to be blown up. There are so many people, how could he possibly blow them all up? What if I manage to escape?
Scarface, who had been shaken by Shen Ci's words, stopped in his tracks, stopped his two equally frightened companions, pointed at Chen Dalong, and shouted at the crowd.
"Brothers! Don't listen to him! He doesn't treat us like human beings at all! He used us as shields before, and now he's forcing us to our deaths! Fight him, and we might still have a chance to survive!"
"It's better to kill him than to be blown up by explosives!"
"Yes! Let's fight him!"
"Seize the explosives!"
"I'd rather be bitten to death by a zombie than be killed by my own people!"
In an instant, the small gang completely split up. Scarface led his men to pounce on Chen Dalong and his two henchmen, and the two sides immediately started fighting, completely unaware that the fuse was still hissing and smoking.
Shen Ci, who had been observing from upstairs, certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two tranquilizer arrows struck one of Chen Dalong's trusted men in succession, causing him to collapse to the ground instantly.
Seeing the infighting erupt and Chen Dalong clearly at a disadvantage, Zhang Qiang and Wang Bin, these two opportunists, realized that Chen Dalong couldn't possibly defeat so many people by himself. In order to survive, they immediately made a choice.
"Brother Long, I'm so sorry!"
Zhang Qiang shouted and suddenly grabbed Chen Dalong from behind, who was fighting with Scarface!
Taking advantage of the moment, Wang Bin snatched the still-smoking homemade bomb and threw it with all his might into the open space next to him!
No matter what, they didn't want to be blown up right now. Chen Dalong was clearly outnumbered, and with his unpredictable temper, who wouldn't be on edge?
They've gone completely mad, even trying to blow up their own people! This is the perfect opportunity for the two of them to shine!
"boom!!"
An explosion rang out, quite loud, but not as destructive as expected. The bomb was made like a firework, with flames rising up, making the expressions on everyone's faces clearly visible.
"You, you two traitors!"
Chen Dalong was held tightly by Zhang Qiang. He watched as the bomb was thrown away and he and Wang Bin ran obsequiously to Scarface's side. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Damn it, he's good for nothing but ruining things. Even if he were to die, he could have dragged these traitors down with him, but instead, these two troublemakers messed things up!
The army collapsed like a house of cards!
At this moment, fewer than five people were still standing, and all of them were injured, their morale completely collapsed.
"Run! What are you all standing around for!"
Someone shouted, and the rest of them, including Scarface, Zhang Qiang, and Wang Bin, no longer cared about anything else, whether it was betrayal or killing. They all knew what such a huge explosion would bring.
The group scrambled and crawled down the mountain in a frantic escape, not daring to look back. This was in the dead of night, and in the darkness, speed and attack power would be greatly increased. Moreover, without lights, people couldn't even see the road clearly, so they had absolutely no chance of winning.
Chen Dalong struggled to break free from Zhang Qiang, looked at his men who had fled in an instant, and then at those who hadn't run away. Only the injured, the dead, and those who couldn't run remained on the ground. The villa in front of him was still as sturdy as ever.
A tremendous sense of powerlessness made him want to cry; despair, utter despair.
He knew it was over, this time it was really over.
"Chen Ci, Shen Dabao, you just wait! Just you wait!"
He failed again and roared in frustration. He didn't dare to stop, knowing that such a big explosion would attract zombies. He clutched his injured arm and followed the fleeing group down the mountain.
Inside the villa, Shen Ci put down the tranquilizer crossbow and exchanged a glance with Da Bao. Both of them were much more relaxed. On the monitor screen, the little red dots were gradually moving away from here, getting further and further away.
"Mom, we won!" Da Bao said excitedly, his little face flushed with excitement.
"Yes, we won, and our Da Bao is the number one hero today!"
Shen Ci hugged him and rubbed his head.
Chen Dalong's Dao heart shattered once again.
Chen Dalong, a good-for-nothing, made a dubious bomb that failed to detonate anything, only causing a considerable commotion and attracting a large number of zombies.
With the night deep and quiet, and with the electric fence in place, Shen Ci wouldn't want to cause trouble for herself by cleaning up now. How could she possibly clean up all of this?
The zombies were perfect for guarding their house, so she took the children back to rest.
The next day, as dawn broke, tranquility returned to the area outside the villa. The zombies, who had not found their target all night, gradually wandered away and no longer gathered in one place. The ground was a mess, with some corpses remaining.
Shen Ci and Da Bao, fully armed, cautiously opened the villa door and began to clean up the battlefield. The air was still filled with a faint smell of gunpowder and a stronger smell of blood.
Shen Dabao poked at the ground with a long stick and picked out a charred, shattered wreckage of a homemade bomb.
"Mom, look at this! I never knew Chen Dalong could make bombs!"
Shen Ci examined the wreckage and frowned.
"The materials used are very crude, and the power is not great, but it is still very dangerous if it explodes in a crowd or near the gate. This was an oversight on our part. We must be more vigilant in the future and never underestimate the madness of any enemy."
When these madmen go crazy, they're reckless and don't care about their own safety or the safety of others. Those who get dragged into it are just unlucky.
They dragged the men who had been knocked down by tranquilizer arrows to an open area away from the villa and searched them for anything that might be useful.
