BXBX NOVEL Chapter 274 - 143 The Inevitable Arrival_2
“I hope the base is okay!”
Soon, they both heard faint explosions and the rat-tat-tat of gunfire!
“It must be the base!”
This time there was no doubt-after all, only the base had rifles!
Perhaps the zombies on the road were lured away by the noise; with fewer of them as obstacles, Wang Tao was able to pick up a little more speed in the car. Han Rui tried to contact the base with the walkie-talkie, but to no avail.
“Roar???? ”
However, as they approached the base, both Wang Tao and Han Rui’s faces changed!
“That sound… a gorilla zombie? Are we that unlucky?
A moment later, as they laid eyes on the base courtyard wall, they also spotted a huge figure inside the base!
“Damn!”
Wang Tao cursed softly and accelerated once more, heading straight for the main gate.
The solid main gate of the base had vanished. Countless ordinary zombies and mad demon zombies flooded in. Among them, the largest figure swung its fists, throwing everything, buildings and zombies alike, through the air! However, it did not continue to advance because bullets occasionally hit its body, stopping it in its tracks.
Wang Tao and Han Rui had grim expressions, but neither dared to rush in recklessly.
Parking the car not far off, they tried the walkie-talkies again. This time Wang Tao’s received a response.
“This is Wang Tao, this is Wang Tao, what’s your situation!
“Wang Tao? You’re finally back!”
Wei Zhenguo’s relieved voice rang from the walkie-talkie.
“Good to know you’re still alive! What’s the situation inside the base?”
Wei Zhenguo was still alive, so there must be some organized resistance. “Everyone’s in the main building! The Security Army is holding back the gorilla zombie with guns for now, but we’re probably running out of bullets…” Hearing the rat-tat-tat of gunfire not far away, Wang Tao felt somewhat reassured.
“Hold on, I’m coming!”
Wang Tao put down the walkie-talkie and then looked at Han Rui in the passenger seat.
“I’m going to charge in. Are you coming with me or are you leaving? I won’t stop you if you want to go.”
At these words, Han Rui’s brows shot up.
“What do you take me for? I would never run away alone!”
“Haha, that’s good!”
Wang Tao laughed and patted Han Rui’s shoulder, pleased he had not misjudged her.
Then he asked Wei Zhenguo which area of the base was weakest under the zombies’ attack, planning to charge in through that area.
Wang Tao was confident; after all, having merged with one ascension crystal core his strength had greatly improved. Against the gorilla zombie, he wasn’t entirely without a fighting chance. If worse came to worst, he could always use his rush ability to escape.
Wei Zhenguo mentioned that he had already prepared an escape route. They were all in the main building now, with zombies crowding beneath it. The survivors couldn’t go out, and the zombies couldn’t come in. However, there was a steel cable on the roof of the main building, extending to the roof of the administrative building, which had far fewer zombies underneath.
Wang Tao could head to the administrative building and then cross from its rooftop to the main building using the steel cable!
The administrative building was located in the northeast part of the base. Wang Tao immediately drove the car there and then got out with Han Rui.
They were both powerful and in this situation, it was more convenient to proceed on foot than by car.
“If there are too many zombies inside later, use your rush ability to carry me,” Wang Tao said.
Wang Tao’s rush was part of his suit ability, limited by a cooling time of one hour, so it would be best to save it for a crucial moment. Having Han Rui with him, she could carry him using her rush ability when needed.
“Alright!”
Han Rui nodded.
The two climbed over the wall and into the base.
just like Wei Zhenguo had said, there weren’t many zombies here, but below the main building was a veritable mountain of corpses!
Wang Tao didn’t want to waste time with these zombies, as it would only draw more of them, which would not be good.
He had Han Rui rush him forward, sprinting more than thirty meters in an instant.
All the zombies in their path were shattered!
The appearance of the two gradually attracted the attention of some zombies nearby. These zombies began to move towards them, with several mad demon zombies running over crazily.
Wang Tao took out his firefighter axe and swung it through the air. A shockwave swept out, instantly killing all the zombies in the area and clearing a large open space.
The two charged straight into the administrative building and quickly climbed to the rooftop.
There was a thick steel cable on the rooftop, and they both started climbing towards the main building along it.
Some zombies noticed Wang Tao and Han Rui in the air above, making “ge ge” growls, but they were out of reach and could only watch in frustration. The two soon reached the roof of the main building. They could see it was encircled by zombies, but with steel plates, spikes, and barbed wire around the outside, these barriers blocked the zombies’ path. Moreover, some ability users were attacking the zombies… For the moment, not even the mad demon zombies could break through.
The gorilla zombie might have been able to destroy these defenses, but it was temporarily obstructed by the firepower of the Security Army.
Quickly, the two landed on the rooftop of the main building.
“Wang Tao!”
The moment Wang Tao landed, he saw Ding Yuqin throwing herself into his arms.
“It’s good to see you’re alright, sister-in-law.”
Wang Tao hugged Ding Yuqin, patted herback, and then released her to nod at Li Qiu Yu standing beside her.
Wei Zhenguo and several others also came over, their faces smeared with blood, their HP bars not full.
