(3) Five Minutes, That's All It Takes (3)

Chu Hieu, having landed, was ignored by the zombies. If they had read the Zombie Illustrated Handbook, they would know that this was because he was a disguised Awakened one; ordinary zombies could not see him.

However, for zombies at the Tyrant Zombie level and above, if his ability stage wasn't high enough, just having murderous intent towards them would be sensed.

Chu Hieu was unaffected by the Screamer-type zombie.

This was clearly an advantage of being an Awakened one.

Chu Hieu closed in on the Screamer-type zombie at high speed. After getting within a certain distance, he directly aimed and fired, hitting the Screamer-type zombie's head with several shots.

With the death of the Screamer-type zombie, the sound dissipated.

Everything returned to calm.

Chu Hieu looked at the Tyrant Zombie not far away. The Tyrant Zombie was simply an invincible existence. The tide of steel could hardly harm it. If it continued to wreak havoc and reached the defensive line, the line would surely not hold.

"Damn it, I'll risk my life against you."

He ran towards the Tyrant Zombie at high speed, weaving through the zombie tide, dodging the crazed ordinary zombies. Bullets were useless against the Tyrant Zombie; he had to rely on a weapon with greater destructive power.

For example, the grenades at his waist.

At this moment, Chu Hieu was like an assassin, constantly closing in on the Tyrant Zombie.

The Tyrant Zombie, swinging its flesh scythes without restraint, wanted to cut open the iron lump in front of it, not yet noticing that a nuisance was slowly approaching.

Chu Hieu held the grenade in his hand, getting closer and closer.

He was ready.

The swinging Tyrant Zombie suddenly stopped. It sensed a hostile intent. It turned around at high speed. The sudden turn startled Chu Hieu. He knew his ability was that zombies couldn't see him.

But for some reason, he found that the zombie's eyes, as they turned, seemed to have seen him.

The Tyrant Zombie indeed couldn't see Chu Hieu, but it had sensed a hostile intent in front of it, something was there.

Chu Hieu swallowed, slowly taking out the grenade, wanting to throw it at the opponent.

Suddenly.

Splat!

He looked down at his chest. The Tyrant Zombie's flesh scythe had pierced his body. Gurgle, gurgle, a large amount of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The Tyrant Zombie brought the flesh scythe closer, opened its mouth, wanting to swallow the guy pierced by its scythe.

"Chu Hieu..."

Luu Dao, who was killing zombies on the defensive line, saw the situation in the distance and his eyes widened in rage. He never thought such a thing would happen.

Phuong Trien looked at the scene before him with a horrified expression. He knew that fighting zombies was brutal. But the brutality of the situation now exceeded his imagination.

The ground was littered with zombie corpses, but the number of zombies didn't seem to have decreased. In the distance, zombies were still running towards them.

Were they really endless, inexhaustible?

At this moment.

Chu Hieu was still conscious. After becoming an Awakened one, his physical fitness had been enhanced. Although he was not far from death, he was still lucid.

"Damn it, I'm done for."

Chu Hieu had gotten close to the Tyrant Zombie. Seeing the Tyrant Zombie open its viscous, wide mouth, he took out a grenade and threw it into the Tyrant Zombie's mouth.

He wasn't afraid of death.

When the apocalypse descended and robbed him of everything, his only thought was to kill as many zombies as he could.

Even in death, he wanted to take some zombies with him.

Boom!

The grenade exploded in the Tyrant Zombie's mouth.

The intense shockwave sent Chu Hieu flying.

Chu Hieu, who had fallen to the ground, spat out mouthfuls of blood. He struggled to turn his gaze towards the Tyrant Zombie. He wanted to know how that zombie was doing.

The Tyrant Zombie, its mouth blown up by the grenade, had half its head missing. Its neck was also torn open, and viscous blood gushed out. With a loud bang, it fell to the ground, unable to get up.

"Haha..."

Chu Hieu heaved a sigh of relief. He looked up at the sky. Seeing the Tyrant Zombie fall, he was completely at ease.

If even that couldn't kill the opponent, then it would truly be too despairing.

He thought of the little girl he had met in Thanh Thuy Town. A little girl the same age as his sister.

Live well.

"There are too many zombies! Requesting assistance! The defensive line on my side can't hold!"

"Brother Dao, we don't have enough firepower!"

The soldiers of the Resistance Army requested assistance. The number of attacking zombies was simply too large, and their firepower couldn't cover them all. They had just killed one wave, and another wave of zombies had already rushed forward. There wasn't even enough time to change magazines.

"Hold on!"

Luu Dao roared. He knew the current situation was very bad. They were fighting a guerrilla war, not a head-on confrontation with the zombies. Against this kind of zombie tide, without an absolute defense system, it was simply impossible to hold.

But now they couldn't leave at all.

They were trapped here.

Phuong Trien swallowed. If this had been the situation yesterday, their Thanh Thuy Town defensive line would absolutely have been breached within a minute. It was impossible to hold on.

Phuong Trien looked at Luu Dao, "Brother Dao, you have a greater goal. Let them leave. We'll hold them off for you."

"Bullshit! What nonsense are you talking about? If I let you hold them off, what are we even doing out here saving people?"

Luu Dao cursed angrily. He knew Phuong Trien was talking about their last hope of retreat.

But if it was this kind of hope, they would rather not have it.

"Argh... argh..."

"Argh... argh..."

The roars of the zombies were a demonic sound to any living person.

The zombies attacked without fear of death, without knowing pain.

Seeing flesh and blood, the zombies' primal ferocity completely erupted. Until they had gnawed flesh and blood into their mouths, the zombies would absolutely not give up.

The situation was gradually collapsing.

The tanks and armored cars on the scene could no longer suppress the zombie tide's attack.

The restraint they could provide was simply a drop in the ocean in the face of such a massive zombie tide.

"This is probably our last stand."

Luu Dao smiled bitterly, "Phuong Trien, have the townspeople take the fishing boats and leave. Don't hide in the bunker anymore. Once this place is occupied by zombies, hiding here is just a slow death. Leaving by boat, there might still be a little hope of survival."

Phuong Trien looked at Luu Dao and finally nodded. Being able to let a townsperson leave meant one more hope.

However, at this moment. The scene changed slightly.

"What is that?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise again.

In an instant, the people on the defensive line looked into the distance.

A pitch-black mass of people was attacking.

"We're here!"

A group of Resistance Army members clad in jet-black armor, with straight blades in one hand and guns in the other.

Rat-tat-tat-tat!

Splat!

They fired their guns while swinging the straight blades in their hands.

The zombies, facing the swinging straight blades, were instantly torn apart. The zombies' bodies were like tofu, offering no resistance at all.

"Who are they?" Luu Dao looked on in shock.

So strong.

That group of people in mysterious armor was truly strong. Ignoring the zombies' pounces, they were simply one strike, one kill. Even when facing several or even a dozen zombies surrounding them, they showed no fear at all, forcefully cutting a bloody path.

The Resistance Army members in armor felt that guns were simply a waste of time.

It was more satisfying to swing and chop.

They directly holstered their guns, held their blades with both hands, a chop to the left, a chop to the right. They rushed into the zombie horde, directly unleashing a whirlwind slash. They didn't care if they got dizzy or not. In any case, the zombies blocking their way were all cut in half, their flesh and blood splattering all over the ground.

The scene was domineering and majestic.

Soon.

The mysterious armored survivors had fought their way to the front of the defensive line.

"Brother Dao, it's me, Hoc Phan."

Hoc Phan opened his mask and looked at Luu Dao on the defensive line.

"Ah? It's you guys."

Luu Dao's eyes widened. He looked on in disbelief. He never expected this group of incredibly powerful mysterious armored troops to be the separated Hoc Phan and his men.

This truly exceeded his imagination.

Hoc Phan said, "Don't worry, we have hope. Five minutes, just five minutes, and we will win."

Luu Dao didn't understand what Hoc Phan meant by five minutes. Why would they be victorious in five minutes?

He wanted to ask for clarification.

But Hoc Phan and his men had already started fighting the zombies.

"What on earth have they experienced during this time?"

Luu Dao couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard he thought.

It seemed he would only know the truth after five minutes.

He knew Hoc Phan was a very steady person and would absolutely not speak nonsense.

With the appearance of Hoc Phan and his men, the situation on the battlefield gradually turned for the better. The addition of more than a dozen people in armor to the battle completely relieved the pressure on the defensive line.

"Hurry and help! This force-type zombie is a bit fierce!"

Someone shouted.

They had all read the Zombie Illustrated Handbook and were very familiar with the zombies on the field. They could tell what kind of zombie it was at a glance.

"Coming!"

Several people rushed towards the force-type zombie. There were no other movements, just swinging their straight blades and chopping at the force-type zombie.
