Chapter 489: Chapter 214: To Save or Not to Save_1
[HP: 30000/30000]
[Mana: 0/0]
[Level: Ordinary Level 3]
Although Mad Demon Zombies were also of an Ordinary level, their strength was far greater than that of ordinary zombies!
They were equivalent to Elite Zombies without Abilities, even physically stronger than some Elite Zombies. Those Level 3 Ordinary Zombies and weakened Level 3 Elite Zombies were no match for these Level 3 Mad Demon Zombies!
And most importantly, Mad Demon Zombies almost never acted alone – they came in huge swarms!
For instance, right now, there were at least nearly a hundred Level 3 Mad Demon Zombies here!
“Is there, or nearby, a lair of Mad Demon Zombies?”
Wang Tao didn’t have time to think more; he contacted Lan Yulian using the walkie-talkie.
“In a moment, I’ll cause some commotion outside. You take the chance to run for it!”
“Ah? You’re already here? Good! Be careful!”
Lan Yulian was both surprised and excited; she hadn’t expected Wang Tao truly arrived!
Wang Tao quietly distanced himself from District C, then threw several Self-Destruct Bombs towards some locations.
Boom!
The huge explosion sound resonated instantly.
“Hehe…”
“Roar—”
Mad Demon Zombies were extremely sensitive to sounds, and the majority of them immediately shifted their target, flocking towards the explosions.
However, those that had locked their sights on Lan Yulian and the others were still attacking.
But with so many Mad Demon Zombies gone, the pressure on Lan Yulian’s side diminished significantly.
“Little Xue, you hold them off here, I’ll go ahead.”
“Okay!”
Wang Tao took the opportunity to rush over, leaving Jiang Shixue behind to fend off the other zombies.
A Mad Demon Zombie spotted Wang Tao and pounced at him.
Wang Tao slashed it to death in a few blows, and it burst into three parcels, but Wang Tao cursed silently after seeing the contents.
“Damn, what trash!”
All three parcels dropped by the Mad Demon Zombie contained nothing but Ordinary crafting materials.
Wang Tao immediately lost his interest in killing them.
Although Wang Tao gained 1500 Special Energy, there were too many Mad Demon Zombies, and it was uncertain if more were outside. The lair of the Mad Demon Zombies was likely nearby, so he couldn’t afford to linger in battle.
Wang Tao’s appearance immediately caught the attention of those at the defense fortifications.
“Wang Tao!”
Lu Yingfeng, who was rushing out with a Tang Dao, was the first to spot Wang Tao and exclaimed softly in surprise.
Wang Tao chopped through a few more zombies, successfully meeting up with Lu Yingfeng.
The others were thrilled to step out from the defense fortifications. Lan Yulian had already told them that it was Wang Tao who had come to rescue them.
Wang Tao glanced at Lan Yulian, Xu Xiaojun, and Nie Siyan; they were all injured to varying degrees but not in mortal danger.
“Follow me!”
Now was not the time for talking. Wang Tao immediately called out to everyone and started retreating along the route he had come.
The crowd hurried to keep up.
“What about Little Xue?”
At that moment, Lan Yulian suddenly spoke up.
She noticed Jiang Shixue was not by Wang Tao’s side, and her heart skipped a beat.
But luckily, she heard Wang Tao reply:
“She’s fine, outside.”
“…That’s a relief!”
The group fought their way out and saw a figure in a red JK uniform standing neatly there. Behind her, in the shadows, lay a pile of zombies.
“Little Xue, let’s go!”
Wang Tao called out.
Seeing Jiang Shixue, Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng felt the scene was incongruous with her, but as they were fleeing for their lives, they didn’t ask any questions.
No sooner had they burst out of District C than they discovered a massive horde of Mad Demon Zombies on the outside! Although only a small portion were Level 3, they swarmed like a tide, numbering in the tens of thousands!
Wang Tao glanced at the direction, then immediately said to Lan Yulian and the others:
“You go ahead and retreat; I’m going to draw these Mad Demon Zombies away.”
“Brother Wang!”
“You…”
The group looked at Wang Tao with disbelief.
To draw away so many zombies was not just risking life but almost certainly facing death!
Apart from at the beginning of the apocalypse when they had seen such selfless heroes, they hadn’t seen any since!
“Stop wasting time, get moving!”
Wang Tao glared at them irritably.
It wasn’t that he wanted to play the hero, but if he didn’t step up, no one would be able to escape—they were almost completely surrounded by the tens of thousands of Mad Demon Zombies.
Someone had to draw the zombies away for escape to be possible, or even driving away would be impossible.
And the only person capable of drawing away so many zombies was Wang Tao, or more precisely, the Self-Destruct Bombs, as their explosions were loud and attracted zombies. But the others couldn’t handle the bombs, with the current chaos, they would likely set them off just holding them. So it had to be Wang Tao.
For safety, Wang Tao took Jiang Shixue with him; both were very fast and should be fine.
“Okay!”
At the critical moment, Lan Yulian was decisive.
She immediately signaled for everyone to leave in another direction.
“Wang Tao, we’ll wait for you at the parking spot! Be careful!”
“Hmm.”
Wang Tao nodded, then he and Jiang Shixue started running in the opposite direction to Lan Yulian and the others.
As he ran, he kept throwing Self-Destruct Bombs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After running at full speed for more than twenty minutes, Wang Tao finally shook off the Mad Demon Zombies behind him.
“Damn it! They sure can run!”
Wang Tao cursed silently, feeling his lungs burning as if they were on fire. Jiang Shixue, however, appeared calm, befitting her zombie physique.
Wang Tao’s biggest worry was encountering other zombies on the road. If a formidable Level 3 zombie blocked the way, it would be quite troublesome… Fortunately, the mission to attract the zombies went smoothly, and they didn’t encounter any obstacles.
