Chapter 781 - 652: Flash Strikes

"Brothers at the front door, come on, quick!"

Duan Wuhu shouted loudly to the people at the front door.

During the battle, he silently counted in his heart. In round after round of fierce fighting, nearly sixty zombies had fallen. Even if they hadn’t reached half, it was close. Finally, the zombies rushed orderly into the courtyard, and the big door was under no pressure anymore. Hold on to this last wave, victory was in sight.

If they couldn’t hold on, they’d fight while retreating. If all else failed, use hot weapons to settle it. In short, there was one word they needed now: stability!

No mishaps should occur at the last moment; resolving the crisis and ensuring safety was fundamental!

The oldest member of Dragon Head Camp, Zhou Haiquan, was helping on the side. While pushing against the iron door, he assisted Fan Donglu. After hearing Duan Wuhu’s words, Pu Chanyong also joined the battle.

Lu Yubo and Zhao Dezhu can’t help but feel a sense of helplessness. Whether in training or real-life combat, their level was always in the top tier of the Yama Corps, just slightly below the tier-zero level of Zhang Su and Ju Mumio.

But just this simple step seemed to contain an insurmountable chasm!

When fighting alongside Zhang Su before, the two felt extremely relaxed, the battle went smoothly with ease. But today, the fight had an inexplicable feeling of being powerless!

It wasn’t hard to see that the previous ease was because Zhang Su bore most of the pressure. It was like he emitted an aura from his body, empowering everyone around him. When the aura shut off, the bonus was gone, and pressure had come crashing down!

Strangely enough, Zhou Haiquan and Pu Chanyong’s combat power was quite average, but after they joined the fight, the overall pace immediately relaxed a lot!

Bang, bang, bang...

Zombies fell one after another. The kill efficiency significantly improved, and many zombies died in a manner unseen before, like being shot, their heads twitching followed by a soft collapse.

"It’s not right... It’s Flash!"

Shen Linrui suddenly shouted, surprised at heart. He had almost never seen Flash kill zombies.

"Holy shit, this little thing can kill zombies!"

Lu Yubo noticed after hearing the shout.

A furry bundle darted between the zombies, moving swiftly. After pressing up against a zombie’s face, its claws quickly dug in. In the blink of an eye, it slipped into either the eye socket or the throat. Before it even emerged, the zombie twitched as if shot and then fell down like mud.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

"Ah, you little shit!"

Flash heard Lu Yubo’s indecorous mention and collided with his forehead in a flash, causing his head to snap back violently, almost twisting his neck.

"Haha, good, Little Flash, awesome!" Duan Wuhu saw Lu Yubo suffering and knew Flash liked hearing compliments, promptly praised him.

The little guy’s face showed no expression, yet clearly displayed a kind of fearful emotion, not daring to open its eyes but leaving a slit to observe the situation, baring its teeth with distorted features.

Despite fear in its heart, Flash’s zombie killing speed was on par with Lu Yubo. In fact, it was safest. Zombie speed was laughable in front of it, no fear of zombie attacks. Also, in the course of battle, it didn’t affect anyone around, silently completing the kills.

As the killing speed improved dramatically, Wu Lue couldn’t keep up. Seeing this, Pu Chanyong and Zhou Haiquan from Dragon Head Camp simply joined the team carrying zombie corpses, notably ashamed to realize that Flash was stronger than both of them combined...

With Flash’s addition, the battle soon neared its end, pushing the line directly out the door at last!

"Squeak!"

Bang, thud, bang bang...

Outside the iron gate, the last zombie was killed by Flash, rolling down the slope after falling.

"Phew, phew, phew..."

"Haha, phew phew..."

The battle ended, heavy panting sounded one after another, mixed with a few excited laughs, not to exaggerate the joy of surviving a disaster, but it counted as passing a challenge.

Flash landed on the ground and immediately began grooming its fur and claws, very clean-loving.

The entire combat process was actually not long. From Duan Wuhu opening the side door to Flash killing the last zombie, it took only five or six minutes. But in everyone’s perception, it felt as if half a day had passed!

Suddenly, while Flash was focused on grooming itself, it froze, leaping onto Shen Linrui’s head, eyes staring intently towards Cloud Dragon Valley, two black-bead eyes shining with strange colors, whiskers twitching, with slime on its rear paws...

"Ah!!!"

As everyone was catching their breath, a mysterious figure suddenly let out a cry tinged with sobs.

The cry startled everyone around. Who dared shout loudly this day and age, especially with Flash’s biggest reaction? Already a bit nervous, hearing the shout, it lifted off Shen Linrui’s hat slipping inside...

"It’s fine, it’s fine, you were very brave tonight!" Shen Linrui patted his hat, comforting Flash while saying, "It was chicken calls before, and doors banging without attracting zombies. This area should be clean now."

The nearby ordinary zombies have been cleared out, no big guys, but a peculiar zombie keeps focusing on the village battles!

Midway up Cloud Dragon Valley, a weak zombie seemed to have extraordinary eyesight. After a weird workout and a little strength restored, it continued sitting at the cliff-edge staring blankly at the village, even after the battle ended, showed no sign of moving.

After hearing the sorrowful cry, it stood swaying, testing the jump down the cliff!

It cared not about the human versus zombie battles but humans themselves. Those tasty blood treats could be healing delicacies for its weakness!

It hesitated on the cliff-edge for a while, but the tall zombie didn’t jump ultimately, seemingly wary, or lacking confidence, leaning against a shockwave-twisted tree trunk, gazing long-eyed at Red Gully Village, continuing to regain strength.

"Brother... it’s all over." Duan Wuhu placed a hand on the mysterious man’s shoulder, sincerely comforting.

"Yes, brother, you helped the villagers free themselves, it’s a blessing, it’s all over, cheer up!"

Being closest in age to the mysterious man, also a man living in the rural areas, Zhou Haiquan empathized stronger and spoke to console.

The mysterious man kept his friends and family circled inside the village, living a secluded life, barely affected by explosive shockwaves. But the arrival of the two teams shattered this.

Indeed, it rooted out zombie hazards completely, but whether right or wrong, good or bad, was unclear to the mysterious man.

"It’s over, it’s over..."

The mysterious man quieted, tears glistening while repeating, then loosened his grip, the Steel Spear hitting the ground with a clang, rolling along the slope clattering down.

Thud.

Under everyone’s gaze, the mysterious man lay flat facing up, making a big cross-shaped position on the ground: "It’s all over, it’s over... boohoo, boohoo!"

Wheel-talking, he eventually wailed aloud!

This left those heading to Mountain and Sea and Dragon Head Camp awkwardly stunned.

Flash seemed slightly interested in the commotion outside too, lifting the hat to peek, seeing one person lying flat crying madly, puzzled slightly. Finally, its eyes fell toward Cloud Dragon Valley, squeaked, slipped back into the hat. Something made it wary and frightened there.
