BXBX NOVEL Chapter 255 - 137 Level Two Toughness_i
A discarded car fell from the sky, smashing into the front of the convoy’s lead vehicle.
Screech—
The piercing sound of brakes erupted, nearly colliding with the wrecked car.
Inside the vehicle, Xiang Hongbin quickly reversed, then sharply turned the steering wheel, avoiding the obstacle.
But more discarded cars, concrete blocks, and even zombies began flying toward the convoy!
“Shit!”
Seeing a gorilla zombie hurling a group of mad demon zombies into the air through the rearview mirror, making them land near the convoy, Wang Tao cursed under his breath.
Was the gorilla zombie doing it on purpose or was it an accident?
As more and more obstacles began to surround them, making it impossible to drive through, Wang Tao shouted loudly,
“You drive, Old Wei, Han Rui, and I will get out and clear the obstacles!”
Wang Tao first injected himself with a defense potion—he hadn’t used a defense potion when dealing with the hooded zombies earlier, so he was not in the cooldown period.
Then he immediately opened the car door and jumped out, followed by Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui.
Wielding his axe, Wang Tao swung at the air, releasing a wave of shockwaves toward the front.
[-1543]
[-1304]
[-1467]
[…]
All the half-dead mad demon zombies that had been smashed over by the gorilla zombie exploded, limbs and appendages scattering everywhere, instantly clearing the area.
Wei Zhenguo also used shockwaves to kill some zombies, while Han Rui moved the broken stones to clear the path.
Soon, a portion of the obstacles had been cleared.
“The vehicles go first, we will cover the rear!”
The four vehicles had just squeezed through the cleared gap when another discarded vehicle fell from the sky, blocking the road again.
The gorilla zombie and a large number of mad demon zombies were also catching up!
“Roar!”
The gorilla zombie roared, its colossal fist aimed at Wang Tao, who was closest and struck!
Although the gorilla zombie seemed cumbersome, its speed was anything but slow; its decaying fist was instantly in front of Wang Tao!
In such a situation, Wang Tao could have dodged using his Rush Ability, but with obstacles behind him, he couldn’t use Rush. The only option was for Wang Tao to cross his arms in an X-shape and take the punch head-on.
Boom—
[-2156]
[2402/4999]
Wang Tao felt as if he’d been hit by a dump truck! Pain coursed through him as if his body had fallen apart!
Boom—
He crashed heavily against the discarded vehicle behind him, shifting the car a great distance, with Wang Tao himself ending up embedded in the car!
[-325]
[2077/4999]
Wang Tao no longer felt the pain in his body, only a dizzying sensation in his head.
He struggled out of the car, and then noticed that the vehicle he had hit had moved to create an opening in the road.
Seeing the gorilla zombie turning its attention to Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui, Wang Tao yelled.
“Reverse Rush!”
Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui immediately turned back and, seeing the path had been cleared behind them, initiated their Rush ability.
Instantly, three faint trails of white light moved away from the gorilla zombie by over thirty meters, temporarily escaping its attack radius.
The four vehicles that had just left opened their doors to wait for them.
“Get in the car!”
The three of them got into the cars.
Boom—
The engine roared, and the vehicle instantly accelerated.
Four off – road vehicles sped away in front, chased by a giant zombie as tall as a two-story building. Behind the massive zombie was a dense swarm of mad demon zombies… it was as if the entire county was shaking.
“Wang Tao, are you alright?”
Inside the lead off-road vehicle, Xiang Hongbin and Han Rui both looked at
Wang Tao with concern; they had seen him take a punch from the gorilla zombie!
“I’m fine…”
Wang Tao used a medkit on himself. Although he was in pain, his life was not in danger.
Seeing that Wang Tao seemed to be in no serious trouble, the two of them also eased their worries.
Xiang Hongbin quickly glanced at the rearview mirror, then cursed vehemently.
“Damn it, we still can’t shake them off!”
According to the original plan, they should have gotten rid of the pursuit by now. After all, the retreat route had been carefully chosen, with a thorough clean-up along the way to ensure an open road and high vehicle speed. Even if mad demon zombies could run fast, they couldn’t possibly outrun vehicles at full speed.
But who expected the gorilla zombie to still be drawn to them.
Although it was large, its speed was not slow! Especially since it would occasionally lift discarded vehicles, roadside stones, and zombies underfoot to hurl at Wang Tao and the others.
This greatly affected the convoy’s speed, causing them to be unable to shake off their pursuers, and the number of zombies following them kept growing!
Wang Tao even suspected that all the mad demon zombies in the entire county had caught up with them!
“What do we do, the zombies are getting closer to us!”
Han Rui said worriedly.
Wang Tao looked at the zombies behind them, then at the map in his hand, and made a tough decision.
“Take the outer ring road!”
Wang Tao had already told Wei Zhenguo and the others about the monster outside the Shuize County urban area, and they had all firmly avoided going outside when scavenging for supplies. After all, Wang Tao had mentioned that the creature outside might be even more terrifying than the gorilla zombie!
But now there was no other option, as being caught by the zombies would likely lead to their annihilation-not to mention the gorilla zombie, so many mad demon zombies were not something they could deal with.
So it was time to take a gamble!
“Everyone to the outer ring road!”
Xiang Hongbin immediately turned the steering wheel, heading for the outer ring road. The other three cars followed suit.
As the zombies got closer and closer, nearly catching up with the last car, the convoy finally reached the outer ring road.
There were virtually no vehicles on the outer ring road, allowing for unobstructed travel, and the four cars began to speed up.
