The Zombies

One of the riled-up survivors suddenly jumped out from his hiding spot.But before he could take even two steps, a gunshot rang out. His head exploded on impact, and he collapsed to the ground.

The others nearby didn't have time to feel anger or sorrow before they all rushed forward.

Bang bang bang...

Gunshots echoed one after another, and several survivors who charged ahead fell immediately, dropping like flies.

Some stubborn ones dared to cautiously peek out, trying to get a glimpse of the situation on the hotel rooftop.But their heads were barely out for three seconds before they were blown apart too.

Everyone present was stunned.

Damn, just showing your head and you're dead? This guy's got to be cheating!

Standing next to Su Chen, He Wang wore a face of disbelief.Though he knew Su Chen was a shooting prodigy, this was just insane.

He hadn't even fired a shot himself, yet Su Chen, holding a sniper rifle, methodically picked off every exposed head.

Such terrifying reflexes even made He Wang—who had once been a shooting champion in the military—humbled in comparison.

Outside the hotel, Abiao and the others were in a bind.

If everyone had charged the hotel from the start, at least they could face it head-on without fear.But now, everyone was hiding behind buildings, and whoever dared to show themselves first was dead meat.

No one wanted to risk their life by peeking out.

"Gao Xiangjun, where are your men? Tell them to charge now!" Li Jiawei shouted at Gao Xiangjun.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I just can't get them to move!" Gao Xiangjun said helplessly.

Although he was the leader of the team and had absolute authority, no one was willing to march to their deaths.

"Forget it. Charging like this will only get us killed for nothing," Abiao waved his hand to stop the arguing."Let's wait until nightfall."

It was still daytime with good visibility.Su Chen, on the rooftop, had a perfect view.With his gun, the survivors below were like sitting ducks.

Waiting until nightfall to attack would give them a better chance.

Everyone stopped arguing and went back to rest briefly.

Seeing the enemies retreat, Sun Yuan and the others inside the hotel let out cheers!Having experienced such fights before, they knew that if the enemy broke in, their fate would be miserable.

"Boss Su!""Greetings, boss!""Boss Su is badass, scared them off right away!"

When Su Chen came down with He Wang, the others greeted them with respect.

"Don't let your guard down. If I'm right, they'll attack again tonight."

Unlike Sun Yuan and the others, Su Chen remained calm and steady.Abiao wouldn't give up after just a few shots.

"Zhou Xinhong, take some men up to the roof. Keep watch on the other survivors.If anything's off, report back immediately."

Without hesitation, Zhou Xinhong obeyed Su Chen's order and headed straight for the rooftop with a few men.

"The rest of you, rest up.Tonight's going to be a bloody battle."

Su Chen gave orders.

"Yes, boss!" everyone responded together.

After all the commotion, the sky was brightening.

Su Chen rubbed his hungry stomach and wondered what Liu Linger and Lin Yingying had prepared for him.He headed toward the backyard.

Just then, survivor Li Dong came rushing over, face pale as if he had seen something terrible.

"Su… Boss Su, it's… bad news!"

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat."I understand. Take me there."

Li Dong hesitated briefly, scared, but still led Su Chen toward the backyard.

The hotel's backyard was divided into two sections: A and B.A was the office area, now used to park the Nomadison.B connected to the kitchen and freight elevator, used to transport supplies inside.

Li Dong led Su Chen to B.

Since the blizzard hit and temperatures plummeted, Su Chen had sealed off area B, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving.

Other survivors were curious but said nothing.With the freezing weather, most preferred to stay inside the common lounge to warm up.

Soon, they arrived at a warehouse.

Even through the iron door, roars could be heard from inside.

"Boss Su, the bodies inside… have… come back to life…"Li Dong swallowed hard, stammering.

The bodies of Zhou Shixian, Lao Xu, Song Shuai, and others killed earlier hadn't been discarded. They were kept in the warehouse in area B.

Su Chen had assigned Li Dong and several others to take turns guarding it, reporting any movement immediately.

Just now, Li Dong had heard noise inside.Curious, he opened the door, only to see the dead—Zhou Shixian and the rest—had somehow reanimated.

They roared wildly, trying to rush out.

Thankfully, Su Chen had ordered their bodies to be tied tightly with nylon ropes, preventing them from moving.

Terrified, Li Dong hurried back to notify Su Chen without delay.

"I know. Don't be afraid. Just open the door," Su Chen said calmly.

Seeing his calmness, Li Dong's panic eased a little.

He bit his lip and opened the door.

Sure enough, Zhou Shixian and the others opened their eyes again.

Hearing the door open, they instinctively looked over.

Seeing Su Chen and Li Dong, they growled low and struggled fiercely.

If not for the nylon ropes, they would have broken free long ago!

Su Chen carefully observed the reanimated corpses.

Though dead for some time, the extremely low temperatures preserved their bodies well—no signs of decay.

Only their pupils had turned a pale grayish-white.

"Boss Su, what… what happened to them?"

Li Dong asked, fear creeping into his voice.

"Can't you see? They've turned into zombies."

Su Chen said softly.

"Zombies?"

Li Dong was stunned.

Though he had watched plenty of zombie movies, those were fiction—how could this happen in real life?

To be honest, Su Chen didn't have a clear answer either.

In the last apocalypse, many scientists had researched the phenomenon, concluding that humanity's severe environmental destruction had brought Earth's wrath upon itself.
