Chapter 1183 The Countless Zombies“Oh my God!”

“The wall! The wall has collapsed!”

“FU*K, RUN!”

“HELP! HELP, I’M STUCK!”

“AHHHH! MY LEGS…”

With the giant wall collapsing, the entire South Gate turned into living hell.

The survivors in ragged clothes rushed out of the slums and ran into the street with horror written all over their faces; they completely paralyzed the traffic there. The rescue vehicles and the freight trucks that were fleeing to the city center were completely jammed together.

Affected by the aftermath, the industrial area not far from the slums also suffered a considerable amount of damage. Workers hurriedly moved equipment from the factory buildings as they feared the structurally damaged buildings were going to collapse.

The cultists who were moving to the East Gate from the stadium looked at the collapsed South Gate with horror. Xu Tiannan looked at the men next to him and ordered.

“Go to the South Gate and see what happened there!”

“Yes!”

As his subordinate ran towards the South Gate, the people on the street at the North Gate were also panicking because of the collapsed wall.

Sura stood in the shadow of the street as he watched the fleeing crowds with indifference, then his figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Not only did the huge wall collapse, but so did the wall in the minds of everyone on Pingan Street.

A wall called a sense of security.

Because of this explosion that occurred hundreds of meters below, the entire Pingan Street was boiling.

After Ding Liwei learned the situation at the South Gate, he made a decision immediately.

He immediately dispatched the militia group. While he enacted martial law in the city, he also allocated personnel to support the South Gate.

More than a dozen modified trucks and police armored vehicles dispatched from the West Gate and went around the gap in the giant wall of the South Gate. The soldiers jumped down from the vehicles and blocked the entrance to prevent zombies and mutants from entering and causing even greater chaos. On the other hand, engineers were sent to rescue the people buried under the rubble…

The militia captain Song Chenyu climbed up on the concrete rubble among the ruins of the wall. He gazed at the more active zombies outside as his expression gradually turned more serious.

The gap in the wall was half a kilometer wide, and it was impossible to repair this gap in a short amount of time. Barbed wire or other separation walls were possible, but he doubted whether the temporary fortifications could make them sleep well.

It was already four o’clock in the afternoon, less than two hours before it got dark.

While the zombies looked slow now, once night arrived, even Death Claws didn’t dare to stand in their ways.

The most troublesome thing for him was that for zombies, the breath of the living was the perfect bait. The population of tens of thousands in Pingan Street was just like a bright light in the night sky. He could almost envision what would happen once darkness arrived.

“Pull up the barbed wire! Be sure to close the gap before it gets dark! The rest of the people go to the warehouse and pull out all the weapons!”

As he ordered the soldiers to set up a defense line, he also commanded troops to deploy firepower points to clear out the zombies that were close to the city wall.

But at this moment, there was an exclamation.

“Look! Over there! What is that!”

Song Chenyu immediately raised his head and looked at the direction across the street.

Soon, his pupils gradually enlarged with a look of horror.

At the corner of the street, the zombies formed into groups of twos and threes as they stumbled forward and gathered in Pingan Street. Compared to the zombies that stood still on the street, while their movements were still stiff, they showed more aggressiveness towards the street.

Perhaps it was his illusion, but from a distance, he faintly saw a red light in the pupils of those zombies…

…

BOOM!

Like a gust of wind, the bullet rained from the sky and tore the zombies into pieces.

“ROAR!”

A series of wax yellow fat exploded. A Roshan covered its head with its stout arms and let out a painful cry.

Although the 20mm cannon couldn’t penetrate its solid fat, it caused it great pain and slowed it down. The plump body seemed to be scalded by a frying pan, and it looked a bit more hideous than before.

The Aurora-20 raised its nose, returned into the clouds, and adjusted its position to prepare for a second round of airstrikes.

The previous round of airstrikes cleared a vacuum area of zombies.

However, it didn’t take long for this vacuum to get filled by new zombies as they slowly gathered in groups and stubbornly moving their stiff legs towards the Physician Building in the hospital. On top of the building, there were dozens of figures.

After the unexplained “earthquake” occurred, Jiang Chen took his guards and moved to the upper floor of the Physician Building.

Along with them, there were also about fifty female slaves captured by the raiders. At this moment, these people squatted down beside the water tank on the roof without any life in their eyes. They did not have the slightest joy of regaining their freedom, only the confusion of their destiny. In order to prevent them from creating trouble, he also ordered two guards to watch over them.

On the roof of the Physician Building, Jiang Chen frowned as he looked at the regrouped zombies.

If it was just zombies, it would be much easier. But among the zombies, he also saw Spitters, Throwers, and even Roshans…

Under normal circumstances, these zombies appeared in densely populated places before the war, like department stores and subway stations. But now, even in places like Dongcheng Hospital was surrounded by a group of dangerous zombies, which made the situation more intriguing.

“It’s getting dark.”

Jiang Chen looked up as the brightness was disappearing from the horizon, he then looked at Lu Fan next to him and asked, “How long before the helicopter arrives?”

In order to prevent the CCCP air defense vehicles from sniping down the airship with the help of the subway line, AS Order redeployed to Bohai Bay near Qincheng, about 300 kilometers away from here, after it completed the deployment of the expeditionary force.

As a medium-sized transport aircraft, Type-51 Transport Helicopter possessed very impressive load capacity and high stability, but speed was not its strong point. It would take at least an hour to get from Qincheng to Shangjing.

And now, only half an hour had passed.

“It’s almost here,” Lu Fan replied.

“Where do you think these zombies came from?” Zhao Qiuran asked nervously.

“I don’t know,” Jiang Chen shook his head and said seriously, “Intuition tells me that it must have something to do with the earthquake just now.”

Zhao Qiuran secretly glanced at Jiang Chen, his eyes seemed to be saying, does this need intuition? Anyone can see it.

It was from the beginning of the earthquake that the entire Shanghai seemed to have changed. The zombies that rarely roamed on the surface, like Spitters or Throwers, now appeared in clusters. This already explained the severity of the problem.

There was just one thing Zhao Qiuran couldn’t make sense of.

Is there any necessary connection between earthquakes and zombies?

Do zombies also have intelligence, and in order to avoid earthquakes, they all run to the surface?

No, the safest place should be the subway. The Pan-Asia Cooperation subway is designed according to the specifications of a nuclear bunker. What can earthquakes do? The subway line was completely fine even though the buildings on the ground collapsed!

Just as Zhao Qiuran contemplated, Jiang Chen opened the holographic map and started searching along the map.

Soon, his eyes stopped at the subway station next to Dongcheng Hospital.

After he examined the subway line of the station, he suddenly spoke.

“Right, speaking of it, is your ability useful on zombies?”

Zhao Qiuran was taken aback for a moment, then she shook her head.

“Are you talking about telesthesia? It’s useless. Those zombies rely on instinctive actions, they have no consciousness at all.”

“So…”

Jiang Chen looked thoughtfully in the direction of Pingan Street, but this time, he didn’t speak again.

Not far away, the horizon had faded into yellow.

The shaky red Sun was about to fall at any time.

Once night falls, the whole world would no longer belong to humans…
