Chapter 53: Chapter 53, Fighting the Zombie Horde_l
Bawudong entered the corridor, while Wu Heng stood on the roof and glanced downwards.
He released the Grease Skill at the first staircase.
The congealed grease fell like rain from the air, some scattered, and the rest drenched the zombies gathering below.
He lit a rag bundle and threw it directly into the area covered by the Grease Skill.
The rag bundle hit a zombie’s shoulder, sparking and igniting with a whoosh, a raging fire started.
The fire began spreading towards the zombies on both sides, creating a firelane about three to four meters wide.
Meanwhile, atop the roof, a line of skeleton warriors stood at the edge, Nuyi and his companion continuously shot crossbow arrows downwards.
The remaining skeletons, at Wu Heng’s command, began to lift the furniture
and household items behind them and threw them down.
Tables, chairs, computer monitors, computer chassis, everything that could be thrown was collected in advance.
These items were hurled directly into the zombie horde.
For a moment, various pieces of furniture and equipment fell from the roof, knocking over zombies below.
Roars!!
The zombie horde, noticing the enemies above, roared angrily.
They clumped together like ants building a tower, spreading upwards along the outer wall.
They spread all the way to the second floor, smashed the glass, and rushed into the room.
But the doors of the residences were shut tight, so the zombies who went in quickly ran out, continuing to climb upwards with the rest of the horde.
Wu Heng stood on the top of the building, amazed at the sight. Surprisingly, so many zombies could climb walls in this manner.
“Hurry, drop things on these climbing zombies.”
Wu Heng said to the skeletons next to him while releasing the Witchcraft Arrow Spell.
After the Witchcraft Arrows hit the target, they expanded rapidly, crumbling the gathered zombies.
The skeletons continued to hurl objects unceasingly.
Preventing the zombies from climbing up.
Within a unit in the corridor.
Boom, Boom, Boom ~!
Ear-splitting noise, rubble flying.
A giant mutated zombie swung its fists wildly, chasing and striking Basen who was retreating from the second floor to the third floor, and continuing to retreat towards the fourth floor.
Its dark red skin muscle was bursting with terrifying power.
The wall was cracked, the stair railing was broken.
Basen dodged a straight punch, his right fist cracked through the air, striking the zombie’s abdomen.
Bang-!
Shockwaves spread out, its dark red muscle body shook violently.
Roooar-1
The zombie stepped back, brought both fists together, and smashed down.
Boom-!
The powerful strike landed just in front of Basen, smashing a giant hole into the steps below.
Basen retreated half a step, threw a side kick, the zombie’s muscles tensed up, resisted the impact, and its hand continued to pound on the target.
Both hands were constantly rising and falling, rising and falling, pounding on the target amidst chaos.
The stirred-up dust covered the entire corridor.
Basen was using certain combat techniques to dodge attacks while counterattacking.
The battle of the mutated zombie was simpler and more brutal, crushing all the fancy moves with its absolute power, with large movements and heavy momentum.
The entire corridor had only the giant zombie and Basen in combat. Wu Heng’s fear of interference by the horde of zombies was completely unnecessary.
Their battle squeezed out not only the zombies that came in, but also the skeletons previously placed, which had turned into piles of bones.
In the entire corridor, only two figures, one tall and one short, continued to fight.
Bang!
A giant fist smashed into the door next to it, the other fist followed and again hammered down amidst the swirling smoky shadow.
Stones flew, scattering like bullets.
Basen pivoted on his feet, somersaulted down a level and circled behind the zombie.
A sweeping kick struck the bend in the zombie s leg.
The weighty sweep caused the zombie to lean to one side, Basen seized the opportunity to kick it solidly, kicking the zombie down directly.
The body rolled down the stairs and with a thud, leaned against the wall. Bawudong leapt over, knee smashing into the cranium with a thud.
The zombie’s head was slammed against the wall by his knee.
Before it could react, a rain of fists fell upon it.
The blows caused the giant zombie to splatter filthy blood everywhere, its head bleeding profusely.
On the rooftop.
“Keep throwing.”
Wu Heng continued to urge the skeleton to throw all the piled debris behind him.
At the same time, he cast the “Grease Skill”, threw down an open flame, and ignited a flash of firelight.
It turned out that the number of zombies in front of him was not enough to climb a six-story residential building simply relying on a human ladder.
At most, they could reach the fourth floor before collapsing under the interference, dropping continuously.
Killing and crippling a large number of zombies. With the constant throwing, the ground floor was also filled with debris, causing the horde of zombies to stumble and hamper their movements.
Thud! Bang!
Suddenly, a heavy impact sounded.
The giant zombie rushed out of the corridor, knocking away the zombies in front of it, and smashing through the obstacles blocking its path.
It charged wildly, like an enraged bull.
Seeing the giant zombie burst out of the corridor, Wu Heng’s eyes widened instantly.
“Did Bawudong fail?”
As soon as the words were spoken, another shattering sound was heard. Bawudong, the grey skeleton, jumped down from the window on the third floor and went straight after the fleeing giant zombie.
“God damn, he’s chasing after the giant zombie and attacking it.”
From the looks of it, Bawudong seemed to be stronger than the giant zombie.
He chased directly towards the direction of the giant zombie.
Wu Heng lifted his magic wand and used “Witchcraft Arrow” on the emerging giant zombie.
The blue energy spear condensed in the air and howled towards its target. But the distance had already exceeded the spell’s range and it disintegrated in mid-air.
Wu Heng immediately cast the newly learnt “Decay Ray”, a black energy ray that hit the giant zombie’s body squarely.
The robust and rampaging body instantly showed signs of flabbiness.
At this time, ‘Bawudong’ caught up swiftly and with a flying kick, sent the zombie staggering.
The giant zombie stopped in its tracks, swiveled around, and smashed its fists towards ‘Bawudong’ chasing after it.
Punch after punch landed incessantly.
Raising clouds of dust into the air.
Meanwhile, the surge of zombies pushing into the corridor also stopped struggling.
Instead, they all turned around and set their sights on Bawudong who had burst out.
The next second, they all rushed back, aiming to kill the grey skeleton outside. Seeing the horde change its target, Wu Heng’s face turned even more serious. In one-on-one fight, Bawudong was almost on par with the giant zombie. If the horde charged at him, it was hard to tell who would win.
Wu Heng quickly went down to the staircase and commanded, “Attack, go out and fight.”
Then, he switched to another staircase, “Attack, go out and fight.”
The command was issued.
Jianyi, Jian’er, Basen, and the four skeleton dogs, leading the skeleton warriors, burst out of the staircase, launching a fierce counterattack.
An even fiercer battle took place downstairs.
Wu Heng also stood at the window on the third floor, with Nuyi throwing Witchcraft Arrows and Grease Skill alongside him towards the ground.
They coordinated with the skeleton horde to increase damage output.
Despite his attributes having improved, he did not believe he had the capability to engage in close combat with the horde of zombies.
Leaving aside whether he could win in terms of physical strength. If he was scratched or bitten, it would be a bitter end for him.
Looking at the two figures wrestling in front of him, Wu Heng continued to shout: “Basen, go support Bawudong.”
Basen turned around, killed the jumping zombie with the short blade in his hand.
He quickly bypassed the enemy in front of him and ran towards where Bawudong and the giant zombie were.
